Chapter 312: The Lifeless Qi in Bing-Er
The Lifeless Qi in Bing-Er . . .
Cha Eun Xiao sensed that the pressure weighing upon him was diminishing. [Is my attempt to vent the cold energy working? Regardless of the cause, this is a positive development.]
With renewed determination, he intensified his efforts to convert the cold energy, skillfully manipulating the East-rising Purple Qi. However, he remained unaware of the unfolding events outside the Boundless Space.
Meanwhile, Bing-Er was experiencing a torment of her own. Her teeth chattered uncontrollably, and in a matter of seconds, her body became encased in a thin layer of frost. She fared even worse than Cha Eun Xiao; trembling violently, she exhaled frigid air with each breath.
[Am I dying... dying from the cold...] She despondently pondered, [I've just recovered and haven't had the chance to take a stroll outside... Now, I'm facing death. What a cruel twist... I haven't spent enough time with Brother...]
Then, in a sudden turn of events, all of the cold energy within Bing-Er's body found a single path of egress. It swiftly converged, disappearing in the same direction. With this shift, the profound chill and the sensation of impending freezing death suddenly dissipated.
The influx of cold energy, like a stampede of thousands of horses, raced along this path, akin to a bottomless black hole that voraciously devoured every trace of cold energy.
Bing-Er, still holding Cha Eun Xiao tightly, was utterly perplexed. As her body warmed once more, she noticed that Cha Eun Xiao's body was also regaining warmth. This unexpected change filled her with joy.
Simultaneously, Cha Eun Xiao sensed the diminishing pressure and continued to harness the East-rising Purple Qi with utmost focus. The cold energy within the Boundless Space rapidly dwindled, and the conversion process quickened in tandem with his cultivation.
At long last, Cha Eun Xiao felt a sense of relief wash over him. He had successfully navigated this perilous crisis.
In times of danger, opportunities often lurked in the shadows. Although his body had been subjected to a life-threatening situation, it had also bestowed upon him a unique opportunity—to convert the cold energy into his own power.
He could not afford to procrastinate in seizing this chance.
Thus, Cha Eun Xiao immersed himself completely in the energy conversion process. It was as if his spirit had transcended his physical form, casting everything into a blurry haze.
The East-rising Purple Qi continued to cycle, enveloping him, and he remained blissfully unaware of the remarkable events transpiring within Bing-Er's body as the East-rising Purple Qi made its way into her Jing and Mai, coursing through her repeatedly.
With every cycle of the East-rising Purple Qi, it extracted dark purple energy from Bing-Er's Jing and Mai, seamlessly converting it into the East-rising Purple Qi's own formidable energy.
As the process continued, an increasing quantity of this enigmatic dark purple substance was drawn forth, gradually coalescing into a dense, misty cloud within Bing-Er's body.
Cha Eun Xiao, though in a state of semi-consciousness, registered the fluctuations in temperature. Sensing the encroaching cold once more, he presumed it to be a resurgence of the remaining cold energy. Without hesitation, he resolutely recommenced the process of conversion.
Bing-Er remained nestled within Cha Eun Xiao's protective embrace. Initially, she managed to resist the growing drowsiness, but it gradually overwhelmed her until she surrendered to sleep in the secure cocoon of his arms.
In her childlike innocence, she remained blissfully unaware of the profound transformation unfolding within her own body—a transformation fraught with latent peril. Feeling improvement in her condition, she harbored no concerns. She perceived Cha Eun Xiao's body regaining warmth and vitality, and this alone sufficed to put her at ease, allowing her to drift into slumber. Unbeknownst to her, the ongoing energy conversion within her continued as she slept.
Bing-Er lacked comprehension of the intricate developments taking place, but she did sense the gradual improvement in her condition. On the other hand, Cha Eun Xiao remained wholly oblivious to the unfolding events outside of his singular focus on energy cultivation.
He persisted in channeling all of his concentration into converting the energy, expending great effort to overcome this perilous situation. The eruption of the Cosmic Hades was undoubtedly formidable, and failing to resolve it promptly would result in severe damage to the Nine Spaces. In the worst-case scenario, the precious materials Cha Eun Xiao had placed within the Boundless Space might inadvertently serve an unintended purpose, a fate he fervently wished to avoid.
It was a disarray of chilling energy, sweeping through the entirety of the Space. Yet, amidst this turmoil, the egg rested undisturbed on its plate, seemingly indifferent to its surroundings. Regardless of the intense cold energy surging through the Space, Mr. Egg remained unaffected, a testament to its remarkable grade.
As the tempest of cold energy persisted, Cha Eun Xiao was entirely preoccupied with managing the crisis. Unbeknownst to him, he had only recently attained the second level of the East-rising Purple Qi, resulting in an incremental improvement in his cultivation. However, he remained unaware that this newfound strength was but a fraction of what the second level of the East-rising Purple Qi could truly offer. Only through further cultivation could he harness the full power of the second level, culminating in the Purple Qi Descends—the pinnacle of this stage.
In this pivotal moment, Cha Eun Xiao found himself unconsciously embroiled in a fierce battle against the formidable tide of cold energy. The Nine Spaces, including the Wood Space, Gold Space, and Water Space, rallied to his aid, each channeling their unique powers to support him in repelling the relentless surge of cold qi.
In this dire circumstance, mastery over the Boundless Space was essential. The proprietor of the Space, Cha Eun Xiao, was required to assert his dominance to combat the Cosmic Hades effectively. In essence, he took command of the entire spectrum of power within the Nine Spaces, and they obediently followed his lead.
At least for now, in this perilous juncture, he had successfully harnessed and controlled the entirety of the Nine Spaces' power. Naturally, he experienced an overwhelming sensation of omnipotence, akin to being the sovereign of this realm. Moreover, considering his past life as the Xiao Monarch, he felt as though he were descending from the heavens to govern this world.
The spiritual qi surged, dutifully trailing the path carved by the East-rising Purple Qi, which had now come to life. It wove its way through Cha Eun Xiao's corporeal form, establishing a seamless circuit.
This intricate pattern extended beyond Cha Eun Xiao himself, now encompassing Bing-Er as well. A mystical connection was established between them. As the cold qi coursed through both their Jing and Mai channels, the potent energy of the Purple Qi Descends found its way into Bing-Er's body.
This intricate dance resulted in a unique pattern—a perpetual cycle wherein the purple qi generated within Cha Eun Xiao flowed into Bing-Er's body alongside the cold qi. It meandered through her Jing and Mai channels before returning to Cha Eun Xiao's dantian, completing a continuous loop.
However, this process was far from rudimentary. As the circulation persisted within Bing-Er's Jing and Mai channels, it elicited the emergence of another variant of cold qi—a lifeless qi. It mirrored the enigmatic substance previously detected within Bing Xinyue and Wenren Chuchu's bodies.
