Within the canyon, atop a black stone pillar in the river, a flawless white pillar of light descended upon the black-haired youth, streams of pure energy continuously pouring into his sea of consciousness.
Chen Daolin let out a groan. His soul felt as though it were soaking in a steaming hot spring, incomparably comfortable.
"Kid, what are you standing around for? Hurry up and cultivate according to the Divine Forging Secret Codex." Baruch's exasperated words snapped Chen Daolin awake.
He hurriedly focused his consciousness into his sea of consciousness and began cultivating the Divine Forging Secret Codex.
Chen Daolin truly had not expected that the reward for clearing the trial would be Ancient Incineration Crystal energy—and special energy at that, seemingly extracted and purified.
If the absorption efficiency of ordinary Ancient Incineration Crystals was one, then the Ancient Soul-Burning Flower was ten, while the Ancient Incineration energy contained within these white rays was over a hundred.
Combined with the unique nature and absorption speed of Chen Daolin's Divine Forging Secret Codex, the efficiency soared even further.
In the blink of an eye, a soul secret pattern appeared in Chen Daolin's pale red sea of consciousness.
What surprised and delighted Chen Daolin even more was that, while absorbing this Ancient Incineration energy, the impact of the illusory realm's baleful aura was extremely slight.
The absorption efficiency was tremendous, and the side effects were minimal.
Beneath this white pillar of light, Chen Daolin cultivated faster than he ever had before.
The red mist in his sea of consciousness surged and roared like ocean waves, converging from every direction and flowing into that blood-colored vortex. One soul secret pattern after another rapidly took shape.
The speed reminded Chen Daolin of a phrase: empowerment initiation.
3605... 3617... 3634... 3655... 3702...
