Bing Fire

The swelling pain coming from his Dantian made Xiao Bai clearly feel that the Dou Qi inside his body could no longer be suppressed.

If he kept suppressing it and did not break through, any problem with his Dantian would be detrimental to his future cultivation. He had to break through immediately.

However, his feelings were a little complicated. He was somewhat expectant and somewhat uneasy. He wanted to know what the new Thunder Seed would be, but he also did not want to endure too much pain.

It reminded him of something a friend in his previous life had said: wanting to fall in love, but not wanting to get screwed over. It fit his current state of mind perfectly.

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Bai said fiercely, "Either way, I have to hurt once. As long as it doesn't kill me, that's fine. I'm going all in!"

Xiao Bai released the suppression on the Dou Qi in his body, formed cultivation seals with both hands, and turned his mind inward to look into his Dantian.

As the cultivation method circulated, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy swarmed over. Xiao Bai hurriedly guided this energy slowly into his body. This energy was far too mixed and impure; it had to be purified and refined before it could be absorbed into his Dantian.

The Heaven and Earth Energy surging in from all around was far too vast, but with Xiao Bai's Soul Realm, controlling it was not difficult. He carefully poured a strand of purified Dou Qi into his Dantian.

It was as if a spark had been thrown into a pile of dry firewood inside his Dantian. In an instant, the cyclone that had originally been rotating slowly began to speed up, and as it accelerated, the vast Heaven and Earth Energy outside seemed to have found an outlet, all of it rushing toward the cyclone in his Dantian.

"Fuck!"

Xiao Bai had not expected this to happen too. The descriptions in this cultivation method were always vague, ambiguous, and profoundly mysterious.

In the past, he had often heard people say that breaking through realms required a teacher or elder to stand guard, and Xiao Bai had scoffed at it back then. Now he finally knew why.

He had no time to think too much. Xiao Bai absolutely could not let this mixed Heaven and Earth Energy enter his Dantian right now, or it would be extremely troublesome to clean out later.

He carefully used his Soul Strength to wrap up his Dantian first, allowing that Heaven and Earth Energy to rampage through his meridians for the time being.

Only then did Xiao Bai continue circulating the cultivation method, refining the Heaven and Earth Energy in his Dantian bit by bit.

Suddenly, the Yi Wood Positive Thunder in his liver seemed to sense something and shot straight out. The sight made Xiao Bai's heart leap into his throat.

"Don't mess around! Big brother, things are already troublesome enough!" Xiao Bai roared inwardly.

After the Yi Wood Positive Thunder emerged, it headed straight for his Dantian. It directly broke through the Soul Strength wrapped around the outside of his Dantian and charged domineeringly inside. In an instant, his Dantian was filled with azure lightning.

"It's over!" Xiao Bai shut his eyes and instantly put on a mask of agony.

When the Yi Wood Positive Thunder broke through the Soul Strength he had wrapped around it, it did not injure him, but the mixed Heaven and Earth Energy in his meridians began to riot, surging straight toward his Dantian.

Now he could only watch helplessly as that energy poured into his Dantian.

But after that energy entered his Dantian, Xiao Bai discovered that it could not immediately merge into the accelerating cyclone. Instead, it had to pass through the lightning that filled the entire Dantian.

Each time it passed through, the impurities in the Heaven and Earth Energy lessened. By the time it could touch the cyclone, the energy had already become exceptionally pure, and its refining speed was far faster than Xiao Bai's.

This instantly made Xiao Bai feel as if he had gone from hell to heaven, and he was overwhelmed with pleasant surprise. However, when he thought back to what had just happened, his face darkened a little.

Was the Yi Wood Positive Thunder's action meant to show disdain for him?

Judging by its behavior just now, it seemed to be saying, "This master is useless. Move aside and let me do it!"

And hadn't he refined this thing before? Hadn't he placed his soul imprint on it?

Why did it feel so spiritual?

"Looks like my thunder still has a lot of potential to develop," Xiao Bai thought thoughtfully while circulating the cultivation method.

Looking inward at his Dantian, the Yi Wood Positive Thunder was like a towering city wall. No matter how the vast energy from outside crashed against it, it calmly refined it without haste.

As that pure energy entered the cyclone, the energy within the cyclone grew denser and denser, and it spun faster and faster. Gradually, the gaseous energy began to thicken, transforming toward a liquid state.

It seemed to reach a critical point, and a drop of liquid energy the size of a thumb appeared in his Dantian.

After this drop of liquid energy appeared, it was as if some switch had been flipped. More and more tiny drops of liquid energy appeared in his Dantian.

With the support of this liquid energy, the suction force of the cyclone inside his Dantian grew stronger and stronger. The energy outside surged even more violently, gathering toward Xiao Bai.

Under this washing of energy, Xiao Bai felt the meridians inside his body become broader and tougher, while his bones and muscles also became more resilient and powerful.

After a long while, the high-speed cyclone inside his body slowly began to slow, and the energy outside stopped surging. The Yi Wood Positive Thunder also returned to his liver.

The aura of a Dou Shi emerged from Xiao Bai. Sensing the energy inside his body growing stronger once again, Xiao Bai smiled in satisfaction.

"I'm a Dou Shi now. One step closer to Dou Di. Worth celebrating!"

On the Dou Qi Continent, the cultivation of Dou Qi was divided into eleven realms: Dou Zhi Qi, Dou Zhe, Dou Shi, Da Dou Shi, Dou Ling, Dou Wang, Dou Emperor, Dou Zong, Dou Zun, Dou Saint, and Dou Di.

Each major realm was further divided into nine minor levels.

Thinking about it, next door, one could ascend and become a god at level one hundred, and in Battle Through the Heavens, one could also ascend to the Upper Realm at level one hundred. Easy, right?

Once his mood improved, it was easy for him to start thinking about all kinds of random things.

However, Xiao Bai's expression gradually turned solemn next. He quietly sat cross-legged, his mind sinking into his Sea of Consciousness as he waited for "how many floors can one sack of rice be carried up?"

Sure enough, Xiao Bai did not have to wait long. An area on the Divine Edict lit up with a faint red glow.

A streak of crimson lightning shot straight out from it, rushing directly toward Xiao Bai's heart.

"Bing Fire Yang Thunder. It corresponds to the heart?"

The moment that lightning appeared, information about it automatically surfaced in Xiao Bai's mind.

Bing Fire Yang Thunder: The Thunder Seed is crimson in color and extraordinarily explosive. It not only contains the most unyielding lightning, but also carries a tyrannical power of blazing fire.

Just as Xiao Bai finished sensing the information in his mind, a wave of intense pain came from his heart. This pain was even several times worse than the Yi Wood Positive Thunder from last time, and the intense feeling of suffocation made him feel as if even breathing had become difficult.

His heart was filled with crimson lightning. Each time it beat, most of the blood flowing through it instantly evaporated.

"Hah, hah... ah..."

Xiao Bai's face was as pale as paper, sweat constantly sliding down his cheeks. His mouth opened and closed, but the intense pain left him wanting to scream yet unable to make a sound, leaving only low, hoarse gasps.

At first, he still showed some signs of struggling, but as time passed, those signs grew weaker and weaker. Anyone who saw Xiao Bai now would have thought he was a corpse.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, his hair gray-white, his head hanging low. The exposed skin on his body was utterly bloodless, and he seemed to have shrunk by a whole size, his clothes hanging loosely from him.

Xiao Bai's consciousness had sunk into darkness, and he felt somewhat desperate. He had never expected the lightning granted by the Divine Edict this time to be so tyrannical. Before he had even begun circulating his cultivation to refine it, things had already reached this point.

"Am I really going to die like this?" Xiao Bai murmured in the darkness.

"No, I won't die. There has to be a way!" He did not want to give up just like that. Xiao Bai's consciousness raced, trying to figure out how he could save himself.
