Chapter 212: Chapter 188 [Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts, One Move to Decide the Fate of the World!]

"It’s fine."

Chu Ji said calmly, "When she can no longer absorb the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, I will rush into the array and save her. Follow me closely, and take the opportunity to enter the array. Enter the meditation state in the shortest time and absorb the remaining Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. This way, we can not only prevent the waste of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi but also prevent it from becoming chaotic and damaging the Yanhuang Organization East Sea Branch."

"Okay."

Ye Fan nodded. He didn’t care about wasting the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi that was summoned by the Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array, but he couldn’t allow the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to become chaotic and out of control, causing destruction to the Yanhuang Organization East Sea Branch.

"Follow me into the array!"

Seconds later, seeing the milky-white pearl gradually merging into Situ Ruoshui’s forehead, Chu Ji gave a cold shout. Her figure flashed, and she took a step to the front of the array, spread her palms open, and fiercely slapped toward the wildly turbulent Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within the array!

"Crack—"

With that slap, a crisp sound emitted. The Gang Jin from within Chu Ji’s body burst out in an instant, pushing aside the Primordial Qi in front of her and stepping into the array.

At the same time, Ye Fan took the opportunity to flash his figure and follow Chu Ji into the array.

Because Ye Fan used his own Essence Blood as the Array Eye to activate the Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array, the array’s power was surprisingly great. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi it drew was so rich that despite Chu Ji blocking in front, Ye Fan still felt a terrifying pressure.

That pressure seemed as though it could completely crush his body!

Feeling a horrific pressure he had never experienced before, Ye Fan knew all too well that the pressure Chu Ji was bearing far exceeded his own. For this reason, he couldn’t hesitate. He quickly sat down cross-legged, instantly gathered his consciousness, and allowed himself to enter the Meditation State.

In an instant, the crimson golden crown pattern appeared above his head once more.

"Swoosh—"

As soon as the pattern appeared, the originally turbulent Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, like cats that had smelled blood, crazily surged toward Ye Fan.

Chu Ji felt the pressure around her suddenly lighten. She immediately bent down to pick up Situ Ruoshui and, with a flash, moved out of the array.

Simultaneously, the rich and majestic Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi instantly engulfed Ye Fan, fully shrouding his body with a white mist.

Hmm?

Upon seeing this scene, Chu Ji was first stunned, then relieved when she sensed that Ye Fan’s presence still existed, and she reminded, "I will take her out first and bring in Jin Ye. When you can no longer absorb the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, I will then send Jin Ye into the array."

Without responding, Ye Fan, who was in the Meditation State within the array, only felt the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi entering his body as if it cost nothing.

Part of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was under Ye Fan’s control and rushed toward the first acupoint along the ’Great Cycle Path’. Meanwhile, a greater portion of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was completely out of his control, madly rushing toward his consciousness.

"What’s happening?"

This discovery shocked Ye Fan—although he had just expended some of his Mind Power, the amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi surging toward his consciousness was too much, too overwhelming for his consciousness to bear!

In his alarm, Ye Fan’s consciousness showed signs of breaking down, and the part of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi that he had been controlling, which was rushing toward the first acupoint of the Great Cycle, also escaped his control and surged toward his consciousness!

"No!"

Ye Fan was greatly alarmed and tried to concentrate all his consciousness to regain control of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within his body. To his astonishment, a crimson golden crown suddenly appeared out of nowhere around his consciousness, instantly absorbing all the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi that was surging toward it!

"This..."

Feeling this scene, Ye Fan was completely dumbfounded.

All of this was completely beyond his comprehension, giving him a surreal feeling!

"What... what is that crimson golden crown?" Shocked, Ye Fan couldn’t help but quietly ask himself internally.

There was no answer.

Just as Ye Fan was speculating what the crimson golden crown might be, a pure stream of Mind Power surged out from the crimson golden crown, entering his consciousness and replenishing what he had previously expended.

Perhaps still immersed in the shock brought by the appearance of the crimson golden crown pattern, and perceiving all of this, Ye Fan was no longer surprised, nor did he do anything else. He just quietly sensed everything happening.

Under his perception, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within the array continued to pour into his body, one after another, all of which were absorbed by the crimson golden crown. Then, pure streams of Mind Power flowed out from the crimson golden crown into his consciousness, creating a perfect cycle.

Soon, Ye Fan sensed that his consciousness’s Mind Power was saturated. However, the crimson golden crown continued to greedily absorb the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and kept feeding the Mind Power back to Ye Fan, causing his consciousness to gradually enlarge and become enveloped in a layer of crimson golden light.

Mind Power Seed?

Chu Ji returned with the mentally damaged Jin Ye, who had become vegetative, and saw a crimson golden bead emerging at Ye Fan’s forehead.

This discovery filled Chu Ji with a feeling of shock so intense that her right hand involuntarily let go, causing Jin Ye to fall straight to the ground.

Not caring about whether Jin Ye was dead or alive, Chu Ji just stood there, dumbstruck, watching the light from the crimson golden bead at Ye Fan’s forehead grow from dim to bright. She was like a statue, completely motionless.

As someone who once dominated the top of the Qing Bang, Chu Ji was well aware that like Martial Artists, Magicians also had the distinction between Postnatal and Innate.

However, while Martial Artists could produce Power Seeds in their bodies through Meditation Cultivation during the Postnatal Great Success period, Magicians must become Innate Magicians before they could condense a Mind Power Seed—Mind Power Seeds are the hallmark of an Innate Mage!

Now, as Ye Fan condensed a Mind Power Seed, it meant he had become an Innate Mage!

And because sorcerers cultivate consciousness, making the requirements much stricter than those of martial artists, sorcerers make up less than one ten-thousandth of the martial arts world, with Innate Mages being even rarer!

Chu Ji didn’t know if there was anyone in Huaxia, let alone the whole world, who could become an Innate Mage at Ye Fan’s age, but she was certain that absolutely no one could, like Ye Fan, at the age of twenty, achieve Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts and reach the Innate Realm simultaneously!

First of all, those capable of Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts were extremely rare in this world.

Secondly, martial artists cultivate the body, continually improving their physique and enhancing the inner strength within their bodies, whereas sorcerers cultivate the consciousness, enhancing their mind power.

It can be said that not only are their cultivation methods different, but their cultivation philosophies are also entirely distinct!

In such a situation, many cultivators with the conditions for Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts often show signs of deviation during the process, which forces them to painfully give up one path.

And even for those cultivators with great wisdom and willpower, practicing both martial arts and magic, their progress is extremely slow. It’s simply impossible to become both an Innate Martial Artist and a Mage at a young age like Ye Fan. On the contrary, most of them, unable to let go, end up never reaching the Innate Realm in any field for the rest of their lives!

It was precisely because she knew all this that she, who had a very strong mental quality, lost her composure in such a way.

Within the formation, Ye Fan also sensed his consciousness gradually turning into a crimson golden pearl, understanding that this was a sign of condensing a Mind Power Seed!

Just that—

Having continuously witnessed phenomena out of the ordinary, he didn’t react with shock like Chu Ji, seemingly having become numb to it.

After an unknown length of time, under Chu Ji’s watchful eyes, that crimson golden pearl merged into Ye Fan’s forehead.

At the same time, Ye Fan clearly sensed that the crimson golden crown was still absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, but it no longer emitted any mind power.

His mind power must be saturated, right?

Realizing this, Ye Fan had a thought, faintly guessing this and then, after thinking for a moment, he tried to control the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi entering his body with his consciousness.

No response.

Even though Ye Fan’s consciousness had become several times stronger than before, he still couldn’t control the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi inside his body!

Hm?

The next moment.

Just when Ye Fan was about to give up, he suddenly noticed that about one-third of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in his body, as if it were repelled by that crimson golden crown, easily surged into the first acupoint of the Great Cycle under the guidance of his consciousness, like a torrent!

Once the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi successfully entered the first acupoint of the Great Cycle Path, it flowed unimpeded all the way, swiftly circulating along the Great Cycle Path. In this process, it silently expelled the impurities in Ye Fan’s body, improved his physique, and generated a large amount of Essence Qi, eventually producing Gang Jin, which was far superior in quality and power to Dark Force.

After the Gang Jin was generated, it split into two parts. One part entered the nine acupoints of the small cycle, replacing the power that was in between Dark Force and Gang Jin, and the other part surged into the first eighteen acupoints passed by the Great Cycle, generating Power Seeds within the acupoints!

Twenty-seven Power Seeds!

Long ago, when Ye Fan discovered that unlike other martial artists, his power was not stored in the Dantian but in the nine vital acupoints of the small cycle, he had vaguely guessed that eventually, he might be able to store power in all one hundred and eight vital acupoints of the human body!

Now, seeing that Power Seeds were generated in eighteen more acupoints, Ye Fan was overjoyed!

Amidst his joy, Ye Fan suddenly realized that the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi entering his body was diminishing, knowing well that what was drawn by the Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array was nearly exhausted.

Noticing this, Ye Fan had a thought and stopped meditating—he wanted to use the last of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to heal Jin Ye’s consciousness.

As soon as Ye Fan stopped meditating, the crimson golden crown around his consciousness instantly vanished without a trace.

Ye Fan had no time to ponder the reasons, as he suddenly opened his eyes and called out to Chu Ji, who was still in shock, "Senior Sister, hurry and get him into the Array!"

"Okay!"

Ye Fan’s shout snapped Chu Ji out of her shock. She quickly responded, grabbed Jin Ye, and threw him towards Ye Fan.

Ye Fan extended his hands and caught Jin Ye steadily, placing him onto the stretcher immediately.

Having done all this, Ye Fan gathered his consciousness and then, following the method he had previously used to repair Situ Ruoshui’s consciousness, he began to repair Jin Ye’s damaged consciousness.

"If the news that Xiao Fan is both an Innate Martial Artist and a Mage at the same time were to spread, it would definitely shock the global martial arts world, wouldn’t it?"

Seeing Ye Fan easily guiding the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to heal Jin Ye’s consciousness, the shock on Chu Ji’s face gradually subsided, replaced by excitement. Amidst her excitement, she couldn’t help but ask herself in silence.

The answer was self-evident.

She believed that Ye Fan, currently a pawn in Chu Xuanji’s chess game, would one day become the chariot, cavalier, and cannon, and ultimately, One Move to Decide the Fate of the World!
