Which Continent Is This? Why Is There No Spiritual Energy!
Huo Yuhao's mental energy quickly swept over every corner and every Spirit Runes of the building, confirming that all Spirit Runes were connected smoothly and that the energy flow was seamless.
A hint of satisfaction appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes. "Very good. Thank you for your hard work."
It's not wrong to say that Huo Yuhao Huo Yuhao in seclusion; his true form was cultivating within the Library Pavilion space.
This was where the Qian-Bai Elders used to cultivate in seclusion. But in reality, for them, simply increasing the concentration of the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, at least the concentration of the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi in the Library Pavilion, did not help them break through their cultivation realm.
Therefore, this small space was given to Huo Yuhao to use.
Within the space, pure Heaven and Earth Origin Qi) condensed like mist, flowing slowly through the area. Huo Yuhao's true form sat cross-legged on the steps in front of the Library Pavilion, his aura deep and concentrated.
He slowly opened his eyes, took out a warm jade bottle, and poured out a pill the size of a longan, completely red, radiating astonishing energy fluctuations—this was the "Luo Yue Pill" that Elder Huo had painstakingly refined for him, which could help him break through quickly in the Dou Ling stage.
Because of Huo Yuhao and Xiao Yan's ambitious words, Yao Chen didn't want them to take pills that would directly increase their strength too early. Yao Chen himself had both been made and broken by pills.
In his early years, he and Wind Venerable used a lot of medicinal baths to enhance their talents and strength, and he also took a lot of pills to break through later.
Although this allowed him to quickly reach the peak of the Nine Revolutions Peak Dou Zun level, however----
These medicinal baths, which he believed had no side effects, were what kept him from becoming Dou Sheng.
Therefore, fearing that the two would follow in his footsteps, Yao Chen never refined any pills to enhance their strength for them.
But for Huo Yuhao at this moment, it was no longer a problem. After experiencing the trials of this series of events, his realm had transcended the ordinary "Heaven-Human Unity" and entered a more profound realm, one that Huo Yuhao himself was still exploring.
Huo Yuhao held the pill in his palm and stared at the clear Pill Pattern on its surface.
"Now I should be able to do it" —Huo Yuhao thought to himself, and he extracted the Sisi medicinal power from the pill.
These residual medicinal properties are closely integrated with the energy in the pills, forming a unified whole. Even a skilled alchemist like Elder Huo cannot completely eliminate them; he can only reduce them to a level that does not affect the cultivator.
However, Huo Yuhao completely removed the strands of alien energy that were most deeply integrated into this pill, without damaging the pill's energy structure in the slightest.
In a short while, the originally crimson pill became crystal clear, like a piece of red glass. Only the purest and most easily absorbed energy essence remained. Huo Yuhao then put it into his mouth.
Boom!
The pure and vast energy surged into the meridians like a flood bursting its banks! The Heavenly Cycle Art automatically circulated, refining and absorbing it.
Within Huo Yuhao's Qi Sea, on the surface of the Sea Urchin Dou Crystal, a Dou Qi spike rapidly retracted and merged into the Battle Crystal. The Battle Crystal's volume expanded at a visible speed, emitting an even deeper and more powerful aura.
For Huo Yuhao at this moment, refining pills was almost no different from cultivating in a high-concentration environment. It would not leave any hidden dangers of an unstable foundation.
After refining one pill, Huo Yuhao briefly adjusted his breathing to familiarize himself with the enhanced battle Dou Qi. Once he had fully mastered it, he took out another pill and repeated the process.
In this secluded and tranquil space, time seems to lose its meaning; only the ever-rising, increasingly powerful atmosphere remains.
"The pills are all gone." The empty jade bottle swayed gently between Huo Yuhao's fingertips, making a crisp clinking sound.
Huo Yuhao slowly stood up, stretching his muscles and bones, which had become slightly stiff from sitting cross-legged for two months. A slight cracking sound came from his joints, and a full and refined aura naturally flowed through his body.
Seven-Star Dou Ling. This is Huo Yuhao's current Dou Qi level. As for his true combat strength, we'll have to wait and see how he fares after leaving the Library Pavilion and sparring with the elders.
Having gained a few moments of free time, Huo Yuhao strolled slowly through the Library Pavilion. At this moment, the Library Pavilion was merely an empty shell, as Huo Yuhao had distributed most of the treasures to his teachers and students.
Huo Yuhao's gaze involuntarily fell on the doorway. There, silently floating, was an ancient, enormous mirror—the very "Spatial Gate" that had once tested their talents and teleported them to their respective areas.
At this moment, however, the spiritual light flowing with spatial power within the door was exceptionally dim, as if it would soon disappear.
"The vice dean said this Spatial Gate is an ancient treasure—" Huo Yuhao muttered to himself, slowly walking over.
"Possessing the ability to detect others' talents, I wonder who created it?"
Huo Yuhao stretched out his palm and placed it on the mirror again.
"Talent----"
The mirror lit up slightly, uttered two words, and then stopped abruptly.
"Hmm? No energy left?" Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow and released his spiritual energy, brushing it across the surface of the mirror.
After the light on the mirror faded, its true appearance appeared before Huo Yuhao's eyes. It was rusty, the frame was severely damaged, and the mirror had many cracks.
Huo Yuhao exclaimed, "No wonder it's from ancient times. It looks like it was just unearthed. Didn't the Bai Lao and Qian Lao even think of cleaning it?"
"But how did it make a sound by itself?"
Huo Yuhao's spiritual power gradually penetrated into the core of the mirror.
"Huh? Could it be that it has a spirit?"
Huo Yuhao was astonished to discover that a dormant consciousness was hidden within this mirror!
His mental energy carefully Entanglement that consciousness. There was no resistance or attack as expected, only an extremely simple message, like an instinctive distress signal, transmitted through the mental connection: "Space Stone ----"
The information is vague and unclear, and subsequent content is indistinguishable.
"Does it want me to repair it—" In his mental vision, Huo Yuhao stared at the faint glimmer of consciousness deep within the mirror, like a candle flickering in the wind. He understood. "The mirror itself might still be repaired, but the consciousness of this artifact spirit—is too severely damaged. Even if the mirror is restored, it will probably be difficult for it to truly awaken; it will only dissipate completely over time."
Huo Yuhao still needs some time to study how to repair the mirror body, but he can perhaps try to repair and awaken the consciousness of the artifact spirit now.
Swish!
Within the Spiritual Sea, Huo Yuhao once again cut off a small clump of soul power.
Huo Yuhao's gaze became focused. Having experienced the sacrifice of thousands of teachers and students to save their lives, this little bit of exertion was no burden for him.
He carefully controlled this pure soul power, mimicking the fluctuations of consciousness he sensed from the artifact spirit, and sent it into the dormant point of consciousness at the core of the mirror.
Buzz-!!!
The moment the soul power merged, the ancient mirror, covered in cracks and rust, suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling silver light!
The light wasn't dazzling, but it carried a profound spatial rhythm, instantly filling the entire Library Pavilion! The dust and rust on the mirror seemed to be swept away by an invisible force, and countless tiny spatial ripples spread silently from the mirror's surface!
Immediately afterward, the dormant consciousness gradually awakened. A moment later, the mirror's spirit, filled with confusion and astonishment, asked through the mental connection, "Which continent is this? Why is there no spiritual energy here!"
