Shadow Hack - Chapter 488
Chapter 488: Trapped in Paradise
Yuan Biyao’s maid Yingying was too shocked for words while watching Li Yunmu attack the flux point like a brute without caring for his life. The chest sea main point, abdomen sea main point, and naval star point were completely different from the previous one hundred and five flux points.
This was because they were the main flux points for storing, cultivating, and moving flux energy. As for the other flux points, they were mainly for assisting.
This led to the last three flux points being the most difficult to cultivate for the flux experts.
The main reason why the people standing at the top of the power pyramid controlled them, making it impossible for the majority of flux experts to access them, was to limit the usage of resources.
But there was another reason as well—only 1% out of ten thousand people would be able to successfully cultivate them.
In other words, even if someone was able to obtain the method to cultivate the three flux points, it didn’t necessarily mean that they would be able to manage that. Of ten thousand people, less than a hundred would be successful in breaking through.
The reason?
Cultivating the three flux points required extremely tyrannical physical bodies. Without possessing extremely formidable flesh, it would be impossible for a cultivator to live through the extremely brutal process of opening those flux points.
That being said, if only one hundred of ten thousand people were successful, what would happen to the nine thousand nine hundred people who failed?
It was extremely possible that the majority of them would be heavily injured if not end up dead. It was also possible that they would become disabled. They would not only be unable to cultivate to the next step, they couldn’t even keep their old cultivation with their gravely injured bodies.
This was the reason why the top people in the Origin World controlled the three flux points and didn’t let the their cultivation method circulate outside.
It was reasonable for them to control the distribution of resources so as to lessen the number of people getting injured and dying while trying to open the flux points.
But even so, there were still many people who died while cultivating the three main flux points. Those who lived the lives of elites and had great potential, however, were much less likely to lose their lives while attacking the three flux points.
However, Li Yunmu was attacking the flux point in a completely unreasonable way. He simply abandoned the common practices followed while opening the last three flux points.
Normally, after a person stored enough power for the first attack with the assistance of the eight guardian points, they would require an entire day for recuperating.
Once all the injuries healed, they would proceed to launch the second attack which would be followed by a third, fourth and fifth, even reaching to the seventh. In the worst case scenario, the chest sea main point would be broken at the tenth attack.
Yet Li Yunmu’s method to open the flux point was reckless and unreasonable. He was like an undying beast attacking the chest sea main point without rest or time to heal his injuries.
After Li Yunmu attacked for the thirty-third time, he finally smashed open the chest sea main point which hadn’t even budged before.
“Oh, so comfortable!”
Once the chest sea main point was successfully opened, Li Yunmu immediately sensed a transformation in the movement of energy in his body, especially in his chest region.
Once the chest sea main point was opened, the flux points in the vicinity which had already been cultivated immediately linked with it. Every flux point’s energy then began to rotate little by little.
They began to supply the chest sea main point with flux energy in a steady stream.
The chest sea main point was like an endless pit whose bottom couldn’t be seen. It continued to absorb the energy supplied by the flux points in the vicinity without showing any signs of ever going to be filled.
Insufficient, still insufficient, far from sufficient…
At that instant, Li Yunmu was like a poor man who hadn’t eaten for days. He abruptly raised his head to look at the light balls which resembled the eight guardian chest points.
He required much more energy to completely fill the chest sea main point than he possessed right then. If the previously cultivated flux points could be described as planets, then the chest sea main point would be the sun.
As if they were also linked to the chest sea main point in Li Yunmu’s body, the eight light balls hanging over the leaf shone brightly, and eight energy beams illuminated his body.
At that instant, Li Yunmu felt how terrifying was the amount of resources required to cultivate the three main flux points.
If not for the eight energy beams which supplied him with endless flux energy, he didn’t even dare to imagine how many flux binding pills he’d need to fill up the flux point.
He had a feeling that without at least a thousand, he definitely wouldn’t be able to cultivate successfully.
Time continued to pass, and after a few hours, the energy beams from the eight light balls finally retracted. Li Yunmu stood up with a bright expression and ample energy.
Finally, the chest sea main point had been successfully cultivated!
Because of doing that, his flux energy had soared from three hundred fifty to five hundred.
The flux energy produced by one main point was surprisingly more than one third of the flux energy produced by all the one hundred and five points.
Five hundred points of flux energy strength, ahh!
Li Yunmu clenched his fists, hardly able to hold back his excitement. According to what he knew, the data established by the system to count flux energy strength didn’t represent the overall amount of flux energy.
Instead, it was the peak value of the flux energy with which one could burst forth in an instant. It didn’t represent an amount, but rather the qualitative grade of one’s attack.
The difference between heat energy of three hundred fifty degrees and five hundred degrees could be analogous to the disparity between flux energy strength of three hundred fifty and five hundred.
With such a great increase in flux energy, the experts Li Yunmu couldn’t previously injure would certainly feel his attacks now.
A single chest sea main point had caused his strength to raise by such an extent! Li Yunmu couldn’t wait to reach the cultivation holy land of the abdomen sea point.
At that moment, his expression didn’t looked like that of a person trapped in the Origin God World. Instead, he looked like someone who’d found their paradise.
Perhaps calling the leaves holy land was fitting for the sect, but for Li Yunmu, they were heaven. If he hadn’t sneaked inside this world, he didn’t know how he would have needed to obtain enough resources to fill up the main three points.
