Chapter 257: Chapter 248 Repair the Spirit Sea

Confused, Mo Wangchen reached out once again, picking up another Source Stone.

Hum!

Just like before, the shard within him instantly absorbed the Source Power from the Source Stone, turning it into an ordinary rock that cracked open.

Hum hum hum!

He repeatedly picked up the stones, and the Source Power in each one was absorbed. In total, six Source Stones were all transformed into ordinary rocks.

After absorbing the Source Power from six Source Stones, Mo Wangchen discovered that his cultivation had stepped into the first layer of the Vein Condensation Realm. This time, his body did not just possess five Spirit Veins but had reached as many as ten!

He was astonished, but his heart was filled with ecstasy, "I haven’t condensed Spirit Veins on my own; instead, after absorbing these Source Powers, the Spirit Veins formed independently, which means, I’m not starting my cultivation from scratch, but this shard inside me, for some unknown reason, is allowing my cultivation to slowly recover!"

"It’s just..."

"Source Stones of this kind contain an extremely refined Heaven and Earth Source Power— even major Hidden Sects or Ancient Martial Families wouldn’t have too many of them..."

The six Source Stones had been fully absorbed, and Mo Wangchen’s face once again showed worry. If his cultivation was to be fully restored by absorbing Source Power, then this would be exceedingly difficult.

The six Source Stones had only managed to restore his cultivation to the first layer of the Vein Condensation Realm. To fully recover, he had no idea how many Source Stones, a terrifying number, would be needed.

"Hm?"

But suddenly, he seemed to sense something and exclaimed in surprise.

Whoosh!

Mo Wangchen lifted his hand, clearing the clutter in front of him, and the next moment, the sight that met his eyes filled him with both shock and joy!

"Source Stones?!"

Underneath the pile of clutter, there was a wooden box. Inside it lay a large quantity of Source Stones. According to Mo Wangchen’s estimation, there were at least a thousand stones in the box!

The amount of Source Stones was extraordinary; even for major Hidden Sects or Ancient Martial Families, producing nearly a hundred Source Stones at one time would be astounding, let alone a thousand.

"It must be because Piaomiao Palace’s lineage has been passed down individually and hasn’t had any new disciples for a long time. No wonder there’s such a hoard of Source Stones!"

Thinking this, Mo Wangchen’s face was full of excitement. He then extended his hand and picked up two Xuan Stones.

Like before, both Xuan Stones turned into ordinary rocks, their Source Power absorbed by the shard within him, which surged with Spiritual Power, nourishing his body.

"Hm?"

However, after Mo Wangchen absorbed two more Source Stones, he found that the shard inside his body seemed to have reached some kind of saturation and was no longer absorbing spontaneously.

"Ten stones, huh..."

He frowned slightly. In total, he had absorbed ten Source Stones, and his current cultivation had reached the fifth layer of the Vein Condensation Realm!

"Regardless, I’ve found a method to restore my cultivation. This shard must have a period of saturation. Tomorrow, I’ll try again to see if I can continue absorbing Source Power!"

With that thought in mind, Mo Wangchen picked up two more Source Stones and turned to walk outside the hall.

"Yaoyao, is it these stones?" When he saw Yaoyao waiting outside, Mo Wangchen handed the Source Stones over to her.

"Mhm!" Yaoyao took the stones and smiled happily.

Mo Wangchen patted her little head, feeling that Yaoyao truly was his lucky star. If it wasn’t for her bringing him here, he would never have known that his cultivation could be restored with the help of Source Stones.

It’s just...

At the Piaomiao Saint Venerable’s place...

...

In the days that followed, besides accompanying Yaoyao daily, Mo Wangchen made his way to that abandoned grand hall. As expected, on the second day, he discovered he could once again absorb Source Power from ten Source Stones.

His cultivation had also improved, reaching the ninth level of the Vein Condensation Realm.

"Hu!"

Seated atop a mountain, Mo Wangchen let Phoenix fly with Yaoyao, while he tried introspection. Inside his body, around the fragment, there was a golden halo enveloping it, the same color as his former Spirit Sea.

"Absorb ten more Source Stones tomorrow, and my cultivation should be able to step into the Spirit Transformation Realm..." Mo Wangchen muttered to himself. This was his greatest concern; his Spirit Sea had been shattered, and thinking of repairing it was utterly impossible. Yet, if he wished to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, he must transform the Spiritual Power in his body’s Spirit Veins into a Spirit Sea.

He was now most worried about whether his ten Spirit Veins, once shattered, could successfully evolve into a Spirit Sea.

...

On the third day!

Mo Wangchen sat alone in the abandoned grand hall, which he had already cleaned, with ten Source Stones placed before him.

After taking a deep breath, he started to circulate the Piaomiao Immortal Scripture, and now, he could autonomously absorb the Source Power from the Source Stones.

The ten Source Stones on the ground trembled slightly, then burst into brilliant light, and a steady stream of Source Power flowed out. Centered around Mo Wangchen, a Source Power vortex formed, absorbing into his body through his pores.

Booming sounds echoed.

Booming sounds echoed again.

Soon, explosive noises were coming from inside his body, and the fragmented piece, with the ten Spirit Veins coiled around it like little snakes, seemed to come alive.

Above that fragment, the light of the golden halo flared up. As the Source Power continued to be absorbed into his body, eventually, a terrifying energy exploded around the fragment, like a Star River erupting. Mighty Spiritual Power surged forth, and finally, a Spirit Sea was formed!

Mo Wangchen’s body shook as he awakened from his closed-eye meditation, an astonishing gleam of light fleeting in his eyes.

He held his breath slightly, as his cultivation, at that moment, stepped past the ninth level of Vein Condensation and completely into the first level of the Spirit Transformation Realm!

Not only that, but after the formation of the Spirit Sea, it turned into a vast black hole vortex. The Source Power continuously absorbed by his body was pouring into it non-stop, causing his Spirit Sea to grow increasingly mighty!

Finally, as a muffled explosion rang out, the surging Spiritual Power within him came to a calm.

At this moment, the ten Source Stones in front of him had turned into ordinary rocks, and his cultivation had reached the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm!

"Hu!"

After he breathed out a long sigh, a look of satisfaction appeared in Mo Wangchen’s eyes, "The Spirit Sea has finally been repaired, and it evolved from the ten Spirit Veins. Now, my Spirit Sea is more than twice as large as before."

The golden Spirit Sea, like an ocean, lay quietly within Mo Wangchen’s body, a constant flow of Spiritual Power bursting forth to nourish his body, and Mo Wangchen noticed that the fragment had not disappeared within his Spirit Sea. Instead, it lay hidden within, emitting a faint light.

"These Source Stones, I wonder how far they can restore my cultivation. And now, with the repair of the Spirit Sea, I can operate the Piaomiao Immortal Scripture to cultivate. Zhou Family..."

As he spoke, a sharp glow surged in Mo Wangchen’s eyes, "Shattering my Spirit Sea, this debt will be settled with you sooner or later!"

PS: Third update!

The schedule for regular updates is set; for the next few days, I will maintain three updates per day, with the first one precisely at midnight, the second at 8 am, and the third at noon. Occasionally there might be a fourth one; it’s tentatively decided that there will be a burst of updates this Friday!

Power stones, please lend me your strength!
