Chapter 255: Void Transversing Art
He softly chuckled and hugged her tightly. "I will, Mom. And thank you for everything."
With a final smile, her figure disappeared into a flash of light as she headed toward her hometown.
Shen Yuan stood at the gate, looking at the place where she was standing just a few seconds ago.
"Well, looks like I will be spending quite a long time in the Dual Cultivation Chamber next." He said softly before donning his robes and heading towards the cherry blossom tree.
[You can choose to, you know, just not cultivate that technique and learn later if you don't wanna cultivate right now.]
Yue Lan's lazy voice echoed in his mind.
"That's out of the question, I will cultivate the technique, as I need all the possible ways to fight those abyssal bastards." His eyes flashed with murderous intent as he remembered that Abyssal Being.
[Hehe, don't get your face dragged through the mud once again.]
Yue Lan teased softly.
"Tsk, my cultivation base was way weaker than my opponent, what else do you think I could have done in that situation? I consider it an achievement that I was able to run away alive." Shen Yuan shook his head and reached below the cherry blossom tree.
[That is true as well. He was the strongest enemy that you have encountered until now. But you know, normally people face despair when they are inherently so inferior to their opponent, but you... you felt none of that.]
"Hmm... Looks like I'm just built different." Shen Yuan smirked as he sat on the table before taking out a gourd of wine.
[Oh fuck off. In my opinion, it's due to your bloodline. It probably didn't consider that Abyssal Being a threat, so it directly removed all the negative emotions before they could take root in your heart, and your Dao Heart helped as well.]
"Minor details." He uncorked the gourd before pouring it down his throat.
Gulp Gulp
[Tsk, anyways, how long are you planning to go into seclusion to train with the Void Transversing Art this time?]
He finished the gourd and put it back in his storage ring, "Hmm, I will break through to the Origin Core Creation Realm with this art and the First Level of Space Intent at the very least."
[So you wanna enter seclusion now?]
He gazed outside of his mansion, looking in the direction of Han Qingyu and Wan Ling's mansion before nodding his head, "Yes, same old 1:30 ratio time dilation. I should be out in a few days at max."
[Best of luck!]
Yue Lan said before teleporting Shen Yuan to the Dual Cultivation Chamber.
...
"And here I am back." He softly muttered as the familiar training room of the Dual Cultivation Chamber came into his view.
Taking a deep breath, he moved towards the center of the room where a meditation mat was placed for him to concentrate.
There was also a Qi Gathering Array carved at the bottom of it to help him in cultivation.
"This place is really nice for cultivating peacefully," he softly muttered as he sat down.
[You're welcome, this place is created specially so you can cultivate in peace.]
"Yeah, yeah," he replied, closing his eyes to focus. "Just keep that mouth of yours closed when I'm focusing. The Void Transversing Art isn't something I can train with you heckling me every second."
[Oh, I know how delicate this technique can be. Don't worry, I'll only bother you if you're about to blow yourself up,]
She teased, though her tone had softened as if reassuring him.
He exhaled slowly, calming his mind. The familiar hum of the Qi Gathering Array beneath him resonated with his own Qi, amplifying the flow throughout his body as the entire chamber hummed with energy.
Shen Yuan inhaled deeply, allowing the ambient Spiritual Qi to flow through his meridians. As he guided the Qi towards his Sixth Dantian.
The Void Transversing Art was no trifling matter, it was a technique incorporating one of the strongest elements available in the Mortal Plane.
Slowly, he began to funnel the Spiritual Qi into his Sixth Dantian, it swirled like a vortex within him.
"This is the hard part," Shen Yuan muttered softly.
[No need to get nervous now, channel the energy gently without losing control or else even I won't be able to find all of your pieces through various spaces.]
Shen Yuan listened to her words, yet his focus remained unwavering.
As the Spiritual Qi condensed in his Sixth Dantian, he visualized the rune—an intricate, otherworldly design that glowed faintly in his mind.
Slowly, deliberately, he began to etch the rune using threads of Spiritual Qi.
Each stroke of the rune required precision and control.
His breathing deepened as he carved the delicate lines within the dantian, the intricate symbol beginning to take shape while exuding Spatial Waves.
As the runes neared completion, the energy from the chamber seemed to become inadequate, he slightly frowned his brows before utilizing the Qi in his Main Dantian to extract the Qi from the Primordial Yins of his wives.
The flow of the Qi became stable again as he began to weave the rune precisely once again.
With the final stroke of the rune completed, a surge of energy erupted from his Sixth Dantian.
The rune began devouring the Spiritual Qi roaming in the Sixth Dantian and began changing the basic essence of his Qi to something more, something higher. It was Spatial Qi.
Shen Yuan's body shivered as the newly formed Spatial Qi coursed through his meridians, its unfamiliar power washing over his physique.
Yet he didn't open his eyes as he could feel the energy slowly changing his own body.
He focused and realized something.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host, for acquiring Mid Grade Minor Tier Talent.]
He exhaled while slowly opening his eyes.
[Well done, you actually acquired Spatial Talent, though the grade…]
"I can't be bothered with you." He shook his head and closed his eyes before he began focusing on the minute changes happening in his body.
As the Spatial Qi cleansed his body, a subtle change became apparent.
His Spatial Awareness had been increased to a new height, if his perception of space was as sharp as this before then he would have long since comprehended Space Intent.
Shen Yuan opened his eyes, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "That was... exhilarating."
[And you survived without blowing yourself up. A commendable achievement!]
"Thanks for the useless commentary," he replied with a shake of his head. Standing up, he stretched his arms.
"Now I need to increase my cultivation to the Origin Core Creation Realm as well as learn a few Spatial Techniques, and I can learn the Space Intent while I'm at it," he excitedly muttered, thinking about the possibilities of space.
[You should first cultivate this technique to that level, because it will take at least ten times the resources as other elements since it's a Spatial Technique.]
"Eh, I can handle that, the one thing I'm not lacking is resources. If I'm short on Qi then I can just Dual Cultivate with my wives to increase my cultivation base," he smirked and replied.
