Chapter 8: Monstrosity

Rong Kaixuan's eyelids suddenly twitched a few times; although he had unleashed the power of the energy flow from his glabella, he had even used this force to create a humanoid being

This sphere is located at the very center of the airflow, resembling a siphon that continuously inhales and exhales the spiritual energy circulating in the area of the third eye.

Rong Kaixuan blinked twice, secretly thinking to himself

To be able to gather spiritual energy within a span of over ten days is already a mark of genius among spiritual practitioners

Rong Kaixuan scratched his scalp and said, "Isn't it just about attracting those external forces? You have also mentioned that this is quite simple." He paused for a moment, nodded emphatically, and added, "Indeed, it is quite simple."

Rong Kaixuan quickly said: "Little nephew has met Uncle Yao"

Thus, Rong Kaixuan, who had never had any experience in spiritual power cultivation, surprisingly achieved such remarkable results during his first attempt to condense the spiritual power of heaven and earth, successfully absorbing the spiritual power into his body

However, this energy is encountering the natural spiritual power of the outside world for the first time

Rong Yiyao opened his mouth wide, stunned for a moment; he suddenly realized that he seemed to have nothing left to say

No," Rong Kaixuan shook his head and said

The first discovery of individuals with the potential of a spiritual practitioner reveals that, although they possess mental power, this untrained mental power finds it difficult to align significantly with the natural spiritual energy of the external world.

In such a place, accommodating tens of thousands of people is absolutely not a problem

Attracting spiritual energy to condense around oneself and absorbing it into the body to transform it into one's own power is the first step in the cultivation of spiritual practitioners

Rong Kaixuan was taken aback; he looked around for a while and shook his head, saying, "Uncle Yao, I haven't noticed anything unusual."

At this moment, Rong Kaixuan was silently murmuring in his heart

And almost at the next moment, he discovered that, in addition to the flow of spiritual energy from heaven and earth within the hall, there was also an unusual presence.

This man has a handsome appearance, with flowing sleeves, and as he walks, he exudes an air of elegance that easily endears him to others

However, considering that the middle-aged man had been quite respectful towards him, he decided not to prolong the conversation any further

Although this process may seem lengthy to describe, in reality, from the moment the light of spiritual energy surged in and formed a new current, to the point where he probed with his mind and discovered the mutation, it was merely an instant

These air currents appear to have been transformed from the natural spiritual energy that was recently absorbed into the body, while the original currents that resided here have already vanished without a trace.

The sphere, in conjunction with the spiritual energy currents of heaven and earth, infuses a surge of vitality and vigor into the airflow within the Yintang.

As it continuously repeated this process, the spiritual energy flow within the Yintang began to move in a regulated manner

He cleared his throat lightly and quickly said, "Uncle Yao, do you think I am still alright?"

Countless points of light illuminated around Rong Kaixuan, gathering together as if transforming into a massive light bulb, radiating a dazzling brilliance.

But unfortunately, his reaction was still a beat too slow. In that brief moment of delay, a substantial amount of white light had already entered his body... or rather, it had entered the space between his eyebrows at the center of his forehead.

However, at this moment, the original airflow has been replaced by a new airflow transformed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and those mysterious airflows have coalesced and changed into a sphere

He let out a bitter smile and asked involuntarily, "So how did you manage to condense spiritual energy just now?"

Rong Kaixuan nodded heavily, taking a deep breath along with *Tu* *Shu*.

Before long, they arrived at a courtyard. This courtyard covered several acres and was planted with some common wild grasses.

Previously, although there existed foreign currents within the Yintang, these currents were like a stagnant pool, remaining completely still unless manipulated by Rong Kaixuan's will.

Rong Kaixuan's expression shifted slightly; this scene, akin to a magic trick, would appear profoundly mysterious to an ordinary person. However, Rong Kaixuan effortlessly sensed the intricacies within it

A sudden shock surged through his heart, and his consciousness began to search the surroundings.

However, what startled him was that when he opened his eyes, what came into view was Rong Yiyao's expression of astonishment, as if he had seen a ghost.

Rong Kaixuan was greatly shocked; he let out a cry and immediately abandoned the thought in his mind, issuing commands to the airflow to repel external spiritual energy.

Today, Rong Yiyao's facial muscles twitched slightly as he said in a low voice: "Kai Xuan, have you ever practiced spiritual power before?"

After undergoing two tests and observing the journey along the way, he has come to understand that this test is crucial for him and must not be taken lightly

Perhaps due to the mysterious energy in the center of his brow, Rong Kaixuan discovered that there was a magical energy surrounding Rong Yiyao. This energy emitted a strange power, attracting certain elements from the surrounding space. Once these elements, which permeated the infinite space, approached him, they immediately radiated a white light, illuminating the surroundings

Therefore, as long as Rong Kaixuan can attract even a trace of spiritual energy to gather around him, he will acknowledge this little fellow's qualifications

Rong Yiyao nodded in satisfaction and said, "I heard that you have detected the talent of a spiritual practitioner in the Testing Hall. Very good. Although our Rong family has many martial artists, the number of spiritual practitioners has always been limited. In this vast Spiritual Hall, even counting the external spiritual practitioners we have recruited, there are fewer than thirty people."

A faint stream of air emanated from his forehead, a flow that had existed within him for several days and could be manipulated at will as if it were an extension of his own body

Rong Yiyao extended his hand and said, "Triumphant, you are quite fortunate; the elder of the Jiexuan clan is currently in the mourning hall. Hehe, he is indeed a pivotal figure in our Rong family. If you can become his disciple, your future will be boundless." He secretly added in his heart, if the elder of the Jiexuan clan could take you, this prodigy, as his apprentice, that would also be a future of limitless potential

Suddenly, the points of light that surged around Rong Kaixuan transformed into a torrent of white light, rushing violently into his body

Within the Yintang, there still exists a mass of airflow. However, Rong Kaixuan is acutely aware that this mass of airflow is not the same as the substances that were originally stagnant in the Yintang.

Rong Yiyao stopped and said, "Triumph, can you discern what is different here compared to the outside world?"

As if receiving his command, the previously stable air currents suddenly began to fluctuate violently. In the next moment, the natural spiritual energy that permeated the void surged forth, with these external energies rushing towards Rong Kaixuan like a tidal wave. In just an instant, a small vortex of spiritual energy formed around him.

This step is indeed quite simple for a spiritual practitioner. However, for an individual with spiritual aptitude, from the moment they are identified as such until they successfully condense their first strand of spiritual energy, it requires at least ten or several dozen days of arduous training.

Isn't this guy even more of a genius than a genius itself

Rong Kaixuan scratched his scalp and asked in confusion, "Uncle Yao, how can I attract spiritual energy to my surroundings?"

freak of nature

Perhaps only this title can explain today's events

Draw in, draw in those powers

The thought penetrated into the center of the brow, leading him to discover something exceedingly strange

However, after the experience of encountering a fierce tiger in the mountains, Rong Kaixuan's courage has far exceeded his age.

"It is today," Rong Kaixuan said honestly.

Rong Yiyao uttered "Ah, ah" twice, as if awakening from a dream, and said: "Alright, it's acceptable"

Hehe, your name is Rong Kaixuan, right

His smile remained unchanged, yet the surroundings suddenly brightened, with a faint white light swirling around him, as if countless fireflies were dancing and fluttering.

The man gently waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be nervous. I am Rong Yiyao, the duty spirit master of the mourning hall this month. You can call me Uncle Yao or Master Uncle."

Rong Yiyao chuckled softly and said, "It's very simple, just like doing this."

We originally sought an audience with the clan elder, but we were obstructed by someone

It was a small, seemingly colorless sphere, about the size of a bayberry seed

He gently waved his hand, and the middle-aged man sent by Rong Kaixuan immediately retreated quietly

Having said that, he turned and left. Rong Kaixuan did not dare to be negligent and followed closely behind.

Looking at Rong Kaixuan's youthful face, two words suddenly flashed through his mind

"Yes," Rong Kaixuan said nervously.

However, the person before me actually said that there are not enough spiritual beings in this place to accommodate thirty * maps * and books. Even if we count the servants and relatives, having so few people living in such a large area seems excessively extravagant.

This unexpected shock was extraordinary, and Rong Kaixuan was nearly scared out of his wits

After all, he is not an ordinary person, and he quickly came to his senses from the shock. Glancing at the young man in front of him, he finally could not help but ask: "Triumph, when did you discover that you possessed the qualifications of a spiritual practitioner"

Rong Kaixuan stared wide-eyed in astonishment; when he entered, he had witnessed with his own eyes the vast expanse of this mourning hall, which could almost be described as a city within a city

When he said this sentence, he actually did not have much hope.

His eyebrows twitched slightly, and then he opened his eyes

Rong Yiyao slightly furrowed his brows, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it and said: "Actually, it’s nothing much, it’s just that the spiritual energy here is denser than in the outside world, making it very suitable for testing spiritual aptitude." He spoke softly: "Now, calm your mind, sense the surrounding environment, and see if you can attract the spiritual energy to your vicinity."

Sighing, Rong Yiyao said: "Triumph, since you possess such qualifications, you should directly report to the clan elder."

Rong Yi smiled faintly and said, "Follow me, let me see what your spiritual aptitude is like"

Rong Yiyao slowly nodded; he was also an experienced spiritual practitioner and could naturally discern a hint of something amiss. If this young man had previously cultivated spiritual energy, he would certainly not have appeared so flustered when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth entered his body. However, is it possible for someone to create such a significant scene on their very first attempt to condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?

As the thoughts subtly shifted, the flow of energy in the center of the brow suddenly surged violently.

In just a fleeting moment, he had already composed himself

Rong Yi smiled and said, "Just do it this way, give it a try."
