Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Demoness's Last Move!
After a thorough examination, Noah was surprised to find the mana veins.
They were in his Dantian!
In the middle of all the six Condensed elemental qi pools. He watched in amazement as the magic circuit started rewiring itself, changing connection from one end to another.
*Buzzzz…*
At the end of the changes, fifty-four loose ends came out of the circuits. They all connected themselves to all of the six elemental pools in sets of nine open endings for each pool.
Much to Noah's surprise, the Qi pool in his dantian started to temper these veins. They did not suck his qi but more used the elemental energies to wash themselves with it.
"The circuit is nurturing itself? No… it's the cultivation technique that is nurturing it, making it adept to all the elements. If this goes on, I can gain all elemental affinities even for magic."
Standing in the inner realm of his own body, the miniature wisp of Noah's consciousness watched the whole process going on in detail while Noah on the outside, talked to Elysia, explaining to her about everything that was happening.
*Zzzz…B..Uzzzzz…*
As they were talking, the air in the room started to tremble. Noah sensed a sharp change in the energy that was being drawn towards the seal.
The souls and bodies of the disciples of the three sects were already converged and formed the blood-red crystal the size of half a tooth. All that was left was the soul that was disintegrated to merge with the newly formed Philosopher's stone and nourish it.
"How much of the required amount would be completed after we use the soul of that Bitch~?" With how sweetly she asked, Noah almost missed the word she called her.
He knew how much of a grudge holder Elysia was, and no one in their sane mind would go against the world itself without any valid reasons.
(A/N: Scoff! What a Naive boy/old man/god… he definitely hasn't heard that those who go against the heaven has the biggest balls. As if the Soaring heaven sect is just for show..)
*crucchhhhh…*
*churnnn!!*
As the seal moved on their set course, the living soul of the dead woman started to be churned and processed by the seals. The powerful soul energy broke away from the woman and moved towards the stone making it grow in size.
"The soul of an immortal is enough to complete the process by half."
"Only half?" Elysia looked at Noah before turning towards the stone in stupefaction; she had never assumed that even after feeding the soul of an immortal, the ruby would not be finished.
"Why is the stone growing but also getting lighter in color, is that supposed to happen?" Elysia could not help but point out her observations to Noah, thinking something might have gone wrong with the procedure.
"This is the reason people say, bigger is not always better~ That is the answer to your first question as well. The soul of the woman will only help the stone in one section while it also needs blood and qi of equal amount for the stone to be complete. That is why only half of the process will be completed and the reason it's losing its color." Stay updated with m-v l|e'm,p y r
Elysia nodded in understanding as she continued to watch the process proceed.
*Woosh!*
*clank!*
As the last parts of the remaining soul were absorbed and filtered by the stone, it fell to the ground. Noah approached the stone and stored it inside the storage ring.
He removed all of the arrays he had placed on the ground and turned to look toward Elysia before asking, " Are you able to connect to the outside world now that I am the owner of this place."
But before Elysia could reply to him something happened….
*Boom!*
*BOOM!*
"What was that?" Noah frowned hearing the loud exploding sound coming from outside the realm. He used his soul sense to look outside the pagoda.
"This place is collapsing, since this domain, or more like this realm belonged to the woman you have just killed, unlike the pagoda. She could have set off this place to collapse as a last bet to take you down." Elysia spat coldly as she guessed what the woman had left for them.
"We need to leave this place and go back outside." Noah immediately held Elysia's hand and teleported himself outside the pagoda. The first thing he saw after coming outside was the lightning crackling in the clouds as tears appeared in the sky.
It was as if the world was being torn apart.
*Snap!*
Noticing the still unconscious people on the ground, Noah snapped his fingers and made them wake up. He also placed the mask back on his face.
"Ugh..!" Seeing that everyone was getting up without any difficulties, Noah started deducing a plan to get out of his situation. Since the domain belonged to the woman, he could not easily use the teleportation feature of the pagoda.
"What choice do I have besides forcing my way out?" Noah caressed the necklace that mysteriously appeared around his neck before the disciples started to wake up and muttered.
He used his senses to connect to the portal they came to and used his soul power to make a connection between this place and the outside world.
"What's happening??" As the disciples started to get up, they were instantly thrown into a frenzy. Seeing the world around them crumbling and destroying was not something some people liked to watch after they woke up.
"Why is this happening? Did someone clear the trial?"
"How are we here? We were just taking a trial…?"
Everyone was thinking one thing or another as their subconscious mind fell into darkness and despair. Lin Feng paled and fell to the ground on his butt. While Yuan Ming on the other hand looked towards Noah feeling something was missing. He had a feeling that 'something' might be related to that boy.
*Hummmmm..!*
Before they could think or do anything, a familiar-looking portal appeared in front of everyone.
