Martial Research Master

386 PRACTICING IN THE HELL-PLANE-The energy of hell was quite potent. Even after establishing Chaos laws, Li Meng couldn’t ignore the quality of energy within this world. His world didn’t even come close to this world in terms of energy quality or density. It was one of the reasons, Li Meng decided to practice Hell-forge art here. He was confident about being able to complete the entire process for Qi king level within the period.

The confidence arose from two things. One was the energy quality as mentioned above, and the second one was his newly acquired Extrem-Yin body. When Li Meng inspected his body after he absorbed the Extreme-Yin seed( the keeper’s words), he found a small seed-like structure within his body. While the other avatars only got the properties and the natural-body types, Li Meng’s had a seed inside.

“What is this seed-like thing?” Li Meng once asked the Keeper about it.

” It is the extreme-yin seed. It is a novel seed that was made out of the concentrated life-essence of the dead Extreme-Yin tree. When I combine your body with its remaining energy, it bound itself with your body and has become a part of yourself. It is a natural treasure that is envied by many cultivators within the world.”

” What benefits would I receive from nurturing it?” Li Meng asked.

“It will nurture you back. The Extreme-Yin tree will nurture your Extreme Yin physique. It could be said that the two of them have merged completely. It means that every time the tree grows, so will your extreme body and vice-versa. I hope you understand the significance of something like that. We are talking about one of the strongest natural bodies in the world.”

“It will also provide you with vitality. You will understand its effects in the future. There are many more auxiliary benefits. You might also get a chance to acquire incredible treasures such as the fruit of Extreme-Yin. I will tell you about the specialties once you acquire them.”

” Another benefit would be the boost you will acquire every time you use a power related to Extreme-yin, be it training, attack or defense.” The Keeper said.

.....

Within the hell-plane, both Li Meng’s body and the seed itself were absorbing massive amounts of energy. Li Meng and his avatars proceed to start bone-reforging once enough energy has accumulated within the body. The painful process began. Li Meng’s bones were crushed and reforged. When Li Meng tried to observe the whole process, he was met with a huge surprise.

Every time he conducts the reforging, the Extreme-Yin seed seems to send some of its energy to the bones along with the hell energy. The whole process was quite miraculous. The seed was absorbing energy from both external and internal sources and was sending a kind of powerful energy of its own while the bones were being reforged.

Li Mengwasn’t certain about his observation, but as the process continued and he reached around the 20th reforge, he finally got a view of a different kind of rune from the originals he acquired with Hell-forge sutra. These runes were emitting the same energy as the seed within his body.

” I will have the Keeper look at them to determine what they are.” Li Meng said to himself.

He continued the process. Around the 50th forge, the runes seem to be growing in numbers, and the seed seemed different from before. A small outgrowth from its body was seen.

“Is it going to sprout?” Li Meng thought.

“It is.” The Keeper’s voice sounded in Li Meng’s mind.

“I thought you were busy absorbing the energy and scanning for natural resources.”

“The artifact is doing that while simultaneously keeping an eye on your condition. You seem to have discovered something.” The Keeper said.

Li Meng told him his observations.

“It seems that it is growing up. Soon enough the first sprout will emerge out of its body. It is a plant at the end of the day. What you are seeing is the growth of a powerful plant inside your body. As I said, your energy is nurturing it.” The Keeper said.

“What about the runes?” Li Meng asked.

“Since you are nurturing it, it is nurturing you back. Those runes are something indigenous to the Extreme-Yin tree. They are helping you absorb energy from hell at a faster rate. You should be thankful for it. Your training speed in all arts from Hell-Forge sutra will receive a boost. You should concentrate on cultivating your arts.”

Li Meng returned to his training.

..........................

Somewhere within the hell-plane-

In a majestic palace, a hidden chamber was present. Within the chamber, the energy of hell was so thick that it hindered the vision of anyone entering it. If someone like Li Meng was present here, he wouldn’t even be able to sustain the energy of this place. Most of the cultivators would face the same results. Yet a figure was sitting in the middle of the chamber.

He seems to be absorbing the energy and releasing it back to the environment. It looked like some kind of training. The eyes of the figure were close, yet they seemed to flinch as if they just sensed something.

“Extreme-Yin treasure. I guess another treasure will soon appear within the plane. It would be a good thing if it were an Extreme-Yin tree. The descendants will benefit a lot from it.” The figure’s eyes looked around. ” I could feel another energy signature, but I could seem to remember why it seems so familiar.”

” Let us leave it. I need to concentrate on training to reach the next level. The juniors should be able to take care of the situation. I hope another suzerain level character can be born.” The figure closed its eyes and began to train once again.

..........................

15 days later-

Li Meng was shocked when he inspected his body. All three of the avatars had managed to complete the bone-forging process. They can proceed to the next step and start weapon-tempering. The surprise came in the form of the Extreme-yin seed. It had managed to sprout and a small root had grown out of it.
