Chapter 695: Chapter 694: It’s Going to Explode

Yusuf Zuck was groggy and didn’t know how long he had slept before he suddenly woke up with a sense of urgency and tension, because it was a throbbing that had awakened him.

It wasn’t the beating of his heart, but the nine Blood Beads violently flashing and pulsating, expanding, and contracting. The purple brilliance flowed incessantly, and the Blood Beads, which were originally only the size of soybeans, swelled up larger than chicken eggs at every pulse!

The look in Yusuf Zuck’s eyes was bewildered, but that confusion also dissipated with the irregular tempo of the throbbing, fully restoring his self-consciousness. At the same time, he looked down at his lower body!

It was still there, grown back again.

Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath, truly the Blood Beads were beads of immortality, and he felt fortunate to possess these strange Blood Beads. Without them, even if he hadn’t died, he’d have ended up a dead eunuch.

Thankfully, thankfully, without realizing it, everything – except for the hair – had regrown after sleeping.

"This is bad, the Blood Beads seem to be throbbing faster, they’re going to explode!" At that moment, Yusuf Zuck suddenly got a shock. When he checked himself, he found that the Dantian Qi Sea which had previously opened was now gone, his meridians were no longer interconnected, and he had become an ordinary person again, not even a novice in terms of cultivation.

Therefore, without his cultivation level, the nine activated Blood Beads seemed to be swelling with blood, just waiting for a trigger, a threshold; once the rhythm of the throbbing reached that limit, his head would explode into fragments with a bang.

"Damn it." Yusuf Zuck cursed. Without his cultivation level, the Blood Beads were completely unstable. He had to cultivate, had to re-enter the beginner’s stage, and make progress again.

"Huff," without having time to ponder, he directly took out a bunch of human pills from inside his upper garment, ten in total, plus one Golden Core, eleven altogether. The ten were harvested from the Solidifying Pill cultivators whom he had killed inside the Tianyuan Sect, and the Golden Core was obtained when he ambushed someone named Keanu Vaughn at Chicken Mountain and had kept it on himself all this time.

"I don’t care anymore, as long as I can cultivate it’s fine!" Yusuf Zuck gritted his teeth, although an ordinary person might not be able to digest the immense power of a human pill, he had nothing else and couldn’t let his head explode even if his body did. So, he grabbed a human pill from a Solidifying Pill cultivator and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it directly into his stomach.

"Whoo, hiss hiss hiss" As soon as the human pill entered his belly, its enormous energy surged out, rapidly assaulting his channels. He then took out a Silver Needle from his wrist and pierced some acupoints on his body, all the while quietly chanting the harmonizing breath mantra.

The Silver Needle had always been tied to his wrist, ready for any emergency. Fortunately, it hadn’t been lost, else he wouldn’t have been able to open his orifices today.

With a "Boom," all the veins in his body connected in an instant when he inserted all the Silver Needles following the method taught by Jerome Hart, and a foul smell emitted from his body signaling a successful opening of his orifices.

The harmonizing breath mantra ran quickly; the energy of a single human pill was enough for someone at the Higher Fetal Breathing Realm Solidifying Pill, so he strenuously guided the wildly surging energy within his body.

"Puff," merely after a dozen breaths, a strange noise came from his body followed by the progression to the Grandmaster realm!

Perhaps because he had cultivated once before, his advancement this time was incredibly swift, without any obstacles.

The energy continued to flow through his body; popping sounds emanated from within him occasionally.

After an unknown amount of time, he reached the Truth-Insight Realm, then continued to break through Fasting, straight up to the Innate!

After reaching the Innate Realm, the energy of the human pill slowly dissipated. Meanwhile, Yusuf Zuck found it strange, because he hadn’t expected that the energy of just one human pill now only supported him to reach the Innate Realm.

The nine Blood Beads in the depths of his mind were still throbbing, throbbing in a way that annoyed and alarmed him.

Not pondering why a single human pill only allowed him to progress to the Innate Realm, because he needed to continue making breakthroughs, he picked up another human pill and swallowed it.

"Phut—" Another surge of energy began to fill his body, which he rapidly channeled using the Harmonizing Qi Chant to dispel in accordance with Heavenly cycles.

A bizarre scene unfolded, as this human Elixir only sustained him until the late phase of the Innate Realm, without breaking through to the Foundation Establishment?

"Again!" Yusuf Zuck, unconcerned with the reason, opened his mouth and swallowed another Elixir.

Upon consuming this one, a gurgling sound emanated from his belly, and his Dantian took form—he had finally established his foundation.

"No, this isn’t right!" After seeing his Dantian take form and establishing his foundation, Yusuf Zuck suddenly noticed something wrong because a Dantian at Foundation Establishment should exhibit a Yin-Yang pattern, one side Yang, the other Yin. If housing a Pregnant Pill, that human Elixir would reside in the center, absorbing the powers of Yin and Yang to grow stronger.

But in his case, although he had established his foundation, the Yin aspect of the Taiji was missing—an impossibility.

He had also discussed the process of Solidifying Pills with the great demons since he was preparing for it as well. Hence, it was common knowledge that the Dantian was divided into Yin and Yang. Without one, the other cannot thrive. Without both, what pill could you possibly nurture?

As these thoughts crossed Yusuf Zuck’s mind, sweat beaded on his forehead and trickled down. He didn’t know what had gone wrong, but time waits for no one. He was racing against the Blood Beads; he needed to accelerate his cultivation. Otherwise, once the Blood Beads reached their limit, one explosion in his head, and his two women would live a fate worse than death, Paisley Kirk would be played with by others, his worldly business, his sister, his foster father, his brothers, and more could all be bullied one day. So, he could not die—he truly couldn’t afford to.

"I can’t die!" Yusuf grabbed the fourth Elixir and swallowed it... then he froze.

Though the vast energy was rampant and wild, his Dantian showed no response. He hadn’t advanced in rank, not reaching the Small Foetal Respiration Realm.

What is Small Foetal Respiration? It’s the Yin-Yang Dantian, a wisp of light within the Taiji, a rhythm formed by the union of Yin and Yang qi, pulsating like breath.

As this rhythm unceasingly absorbed various energies transforming into Yin and Yang qi, it would gradually grow stronger and larger, eventually forming the Big Fetus Breath—a light the size of a fingernail that could breathe.

After that, this wisp of light, this breath would solidify into reality—the process of cultivation!

But now, lacking the Yin-Yang Taiji, it seemed he couldn’t enter the Fetal Breathing Realm. Furthermore, his Dantian had become incredibly large, having absorbed the energy of an entire human Elixir!

"Again!" Yusuf Zuck consumed yet another Elixir, but there was still no reaction. He didn’t advance in rank nor did his body burst, as if his Dantian had become a bottomless pit.

"Damn it, I’m going all in!" Yusuf Zuck clenched his teeth and swallowed the remaining four human Elixirs in one go.

"Whoosh—" The four surges of energy exploded, and there was a thunderous roar inside his body, yet he still hadn’t reached the Fetal Breathing Realm, nor did his body burst.

However, a scene that nearly scared Yusuf Zuck to death occurred. As the thunderous roars resonated within him, the nine Blood Beads in his mind suddenly stopped pulsing and then abruptly swelled and cracked open.

"Aaah—" Agony surged, and Yusuf Zuck felt as if his soul had fled. He knew the Blood Beads had reached their limit and were about to explode.

But even then, he didn’t stop, cramming the last Golden Core Elixir into his mouth.
