Chapter 92.1 Do You Have Any Sympathy? (1/2)

At the Heavenly Wolf Sect!

A ray of light flashed across the sky as Chen Tianyuan took Wang Ke and Tong An’an back to their sect.

“Sect Lord!” A group of Heavenly Wolf Sect disciples crowded around them.

“This man is one of the demonic sect’s Chapter Lords. I’m sure he knows a fair amount of confidential information about the demonic sect. Take him to the West Wolf Hall for interrogation!” Chen Tianyuan handed Tong An’an over to them.

“Yes, Sect Lord. Right away!” The disciples acknowledged and dragged Tong An’an away.

After that, Chen Tianyuan took Wang Ke to one of the halls to heal him.

“Baaam!”

The gates slammed shut, and only the two of them were inside.

“Revered Teacher, you just need to watch over me. Quick, I’m going to burn! The Immobilizing Radiance Mirror has abundant virtue merit that belongs to me. Please transfer the virtue merit to me first!” Wang Ke urged.

The turbid essence Qi was overwhelming, overcoming the frost Qi of the Long Beads. They continued to crack as they made their way over; only one remained. It was going to break the seal at any moment.

Chen Tianyuan was unable to ascertain Wang Ke’s situation, but he still did as Wang Ke requested.

“Pom!”

He summoned the Immobilizing Radiance Mirror, and then took out the golden sphere of virtue merit She Qingqing had gifted to Wang Ke after slaying demons at the Great Qing Royal Palace.

“Virtue Merit! Thank the heavens!” Wang Ke exclaimed in excitement.

He was then reminded of the words in the Indestructible Solar Divine Cultivation Technique.

‘Turbid Qi can absorb all kinds of power and change its color. Gold color is the weakest state, while black is the most powerful! It becomes self-flammable when it reaches the blackest color! You can use virtue merit to turn it back to its golden color!’

Wang Ke took hold of the virtue merit sphere, which was instantly absorbed into Wang Ke’s body then sent to his core cradle.

“Baaam!”

The last Longing Bead suppressing the fire within him exploded; the entire bracelet was burnt to a crisp by the turbid essence Qi.

Virtue merit entered his body at that moment and integrated with the turbid essence Qi.

It was like a bath of cold water poured onto the flames.

“Tsssssssssssss~~!”

There was a sound akin to water droplets evaporating rapidly on searing iron coming from within Wang Ke. Chen Tianyuan stood aside, surprised by the things happening before his eyes. Isn’t my disciple’s Fire Divine Cultivation Technique rather strange?

Chen Tianyuan watched over him and saw Wang Ke covered in sweat. His disciple was shrouded in steam as though he were in a sauna; it only took a short while for the mist to spread to the entire hall.

Chen Tianyuan: “???”

Is it really the Fire Divine Cultivation Technique?Why does it look like a sauna?

“It feels so good! Awesome!” Wang Ke felt a great rush of comfort.

The sauna refreshed his body.

Chen Tianyuan saw that his disciple was too absorbed in his enjoyment, so he looked away and went to wait for Wang Ke outside.

After some introspecting, Wang Ke realized that the extremely black turbid essence Qi had changed its color. From black to grey, to dark yellow, and then bright yellow. Finally, it returned to a golden color.

“Nice, nice. It’s finally back to the gold color!” Wang Ke said, still having a lingering fear.

“Baaam!”

A wave of Qi radiated outwards from Wang Ke’s body.

The now golden turbid essence Qi suddenly coalesced into a string of liquid essence Qi.

Essence energy? My essence Qi turned into liquid essence energy? That means my cultivation broke through again? Innate Stage Level Six? Wang Ke was amazed.

The turbid essence Qi in his cradle core was in a mist form; it was a mixture of both gas and liquid. Wang Ke knew his essence Qi had a qualitative change when he looked at the mist.

“How did my cultivation break through? Why is it that fast?” Wang Ke said. He felt a little frustrated.

I have yet to have a good understanding of it, and it changed again?Turbid essence Qi in mist form?Please don’t cause any more accidents.

Wang Ke stood up with an annoyed face.

The hall’s gates opened once again, and Chen Tianyuan entered.

“Are you feeling better?” Chen Tianyuan asked curiosly.

Wang Ke replied with disappointment on his face, “I’m much better now. It’s just that my cultivation somehow broke through again. I’m now at Innate Stage Level Six!”

“That’s normal! You absorbed a lot of virtue ethic. It would be weird if you didn’t break through!” Chen Tianyuan explained.

“Ah?” Wang Ke was a little lost.

“What does virtue merit do?” Chen Tianyuan continued explaining, “When it comes to righteous cultivators, not only does it increase one’s insightfulness but also helps in overcoming cultivation bottlenecks! Cultivation is a process against the Heavens. It’s not that easy. The higher the cultivation achieved, the harder it is to advance. Many cultivators remain stuck at a certain stage their entire lives, not advancing an inch. But, given enough virtue merit, they can overcome their bottlenecks. It is as though the Heavenly Law would give you some pointers! The more virtue merit you have, the faster you advance in your cultivation! Virtue merit will sweep away any obstacle in your way! That’s the Heavenly Law’s reward! And that is why many cultivators from the righteous factions risk their lives to obtain virtue merit by slaying demons!”

“Virtue merit helps us advance our cultivation?” Wang Ke was surprised.

“Yeah, you used so much virtue merit just now; it was quite a waste,” Chen Tianyuan said, “It’s usually better to wait until you reach the pinnacle of the Innate Stage. It could have helped you reach the Golden Core Stage smoothly. But…!”

“It’s okay, Revered Teacher. I will save up more virtue merit in the future!” Wang Ke said without a care.

I would have been burned to ashes by now if I hadn’t used it just now!

“Yeah, let’s forget it. It’s yours anyway; use it however you want. I’m more concerned about what happened to you these few days. I heard that Hall Lord She’s plan to slay demons by sacrificing herself was foiled by you?” Chen Tianyuan asked.

“Revered Teacher, too many things happened. I…!”
