Chapter 120: Dark Energy

Until now, he had been solely focused on the existence of dark energy, neglecting his own growth after the breakthrough. At this moment, he realized and said:

"Hmm, all the organs in my body have been equally strengthened. My power has also tripled. Why do I feel like my own growth is less than the previous three realms? Could it be that the further I cultivate, the harder it is to get stronger?"

But he was wrong. Feeling the existence of dark energy would bring him many special abilities, but he would need to discover those abilities himself.

Jun Wu Xiao frowned, not thinking that things would truly be this way. Since he could feel the existence of dark energy, it must have some use.

"I can feel the presence of dark energy, so do I have the ability to interact with it?" he thought.

Then, he tried to connect with the dark energy within his body. Surprisingly, he actually felt the connection, and he tried to push the dark energy out, but the attempt failed.

Jun Wu Xiao frowned and said:

"Why is it like this? Why can I feel and influence the dark energy inside my body but cannot bring it out?"

After that, he lay down on the snow, rolling back and forth, thinking. After a while, he suddenly sat up and said:

"Oh, that’s right, it’s the energy I absorbed into my body over many years. Now it’s a part of my body, taking it out would mean hurting myself. The body won’t accept such a foolish act. Or maybe my control is not good enough to resist the body’s defense mechanism. If I’m strong enough, I can probably use my stamina to take some dark energy out to use."

If using the dark energy within his body didn’t work, then he would try with the dark energy in the environment. Jun Wu Xiao attempted to connect with the dark energy that was in contact with his body from the outside.

This process gave him a headache, it was truly excruciating to sense the dark energy from the external environment. He had to pay attention to every small part, every cell of his body that was in contact with the dark energy, making his head feel like it was going to split.

"In the past, my body hurt, now it’s my head. Damn it, no matter the realm, cultivation is always painful." Jun Wu Xiao cursed.

"Wait, cultivation?"

He immediately tried to push his body to the limit and then focused his mind on sensing the interaction of his body with the dark energy.

At this moment, he felt the dark energy slowly infiltrating his body. He stopped cultivating and said:

"So that’s how it is. Before, I couldn’t sense dark energy and couldn’t actively interact with it, so I had to resort to other methods. By pushing my body to its limits, it would automatically absorb the dark energy leading to a breakthrough. Hmm, how much longevity have I gained? I forgot to check."

After a quick check, he laughed heartily:

"Ha ha, I’ve gained four hundred years. Wonderful! I have more time now, I can continue to cultivate."

"Alright, let’s put this aside for now. The priority is to find a way to connect with the dark energy in the surrounding environment. If I can do that, perhaps I’ll gain some special abilities." Jun Wu Xiao continued.

Once again, he tried to connect with the dark energy in the surrounding environment. This time, he succeeded. He felt the connection and could interact with the dark energy around him.

From the vastness of space, a small orb of light was heading straight for Earth. It pierced through the atmosphere and flew towards the Kunlun Mountains.

Everyone in the Kunlun Mountains, who were cultivating, simultaneously looked up at the sky, gazing at the glowing dot. Its appearance was incredibly attention-grabbing due to the light and powerful energy it emitted.

Jun Wu Xiao frowned, looking up at the sky, and said:

"A monster? No, it doesn’t have that repulsive feeling."

The orb of light stopped right in front of Jun Wu Xiao instead of crashing to the ground, surprising him. Instinctively, he reached out and touched the orb.

The orb of light emitted a stronger glow and then disappeared without a trace. The environment around him remained unchanged. It was as if the orb of light had never existed.

Jun Wu Xiao stood there, bewildered, his face blank for a moment before returning to normal. He scratched his head and said:

"What just happened? I was trying to use dark energy, and then I just spaced out?"

At that moment, the four other people on the Kunlun Mountains came to the peak to find him, which puzzled him. He felt confused and asked:

"Why did you all come here at the same time?"

The four people looked at him with puzzled expressions, and Yue Guang asked:

"Didn’t you notice the bright light that fell onto this peak just now?"

Jun Wu Xiao frowned and asked back:

"Did you all see the same thing?"

The three were about to nod but something happened that they didn’t realize, then they shook their heads. Dao San Qian said:

"Uh, no, I don’t know why I’m here either."

"Yue Guang, did you see it wrong? Why were you the only one who saw it?" Jun Wu Xiao asked in return.

Yue Guang nodded and said:

"I must have been mistaken. If something really did fall, it would have caused a major disturbance. But the peak is completely normal, nothing has changed."

Jun Wu Xiao felt something was strange but couldn’t pinpoint what it was. He thought:

"What is going on? Could it be a coincidence that brought them here to witness my breakthrough? That must be it."

"You know what, I have broken through to a new realm, my lifespan has increased by four hundred years, and my overall strength has tripled. Moreover, I can now sense the energy that has helped me break through. I’m trying to find a way to use that energy now."

Everyone was astonished, not because he had broken through, but because he could sense the mysterious energy that had made them cultivators.

"What is that energy is?" Yue Guang asked.

"It is colorless, odorless, and invisible. You can only feel it. I call it dark energy." Jun Wu Xiao said.

They nodded, realizing that they couldn’t see it but only sense it. They also knew they weren’t strong enough to sense dark energy yet.

"Alright, we won’t bother you anymore. I am also about to break through to this realm. When I do, I’ll come to you to discuss the uses of dark energy." Yue Guang said and then left.

The others also left because there was no reason to stay any longer. Staying would only disturb Jun Wu Xiao. In truth, they didn’t even know why they had come there, they had no memory of it.

Jun Wu Xiao stood there for a moment, then said:

"What the heck? They just came and went like that? Oh well, it’s not important. I need to continue researching dark energy."
