The moment I touched the bones, I felt energy deep inside. Yet I didn’t hurry to activate my bone absorption ability.

I tried something else, tried to directly channel energy from my touch with the bones.

“It’s not going to work…” After trying it out for many times, I found out that no matter what, the bones held tightly over their dense energy.

However during these attempts, I felt the purity of this energy. It was indeed the shadow world energy, and it was in much thicker and purer form than ever.

Compared with times when I was cultivating even inside my shadow world, this energy felt like I got all the energy out there compressed and even purified.

This was enough to let me know this plan was going to work. And so I had to just activate my bone absorption and everything would start smoothly.

I closed my eyes and started to channel my energy at first. I didn’t try to absorb the energy from the bones before confirming another matter; was I able to get in touch with my base or not?

After all this wasn’t just a way to purify and elevate my spiritual energy in ranks. I wanted to raise my stagnant cultivation base.

Cultivating for a few times and after facing many fortinuous events, I finally got my cultivation base to stop at grade six.

My plan was to push it all the way to the next level.

I first planned to keep it stagnant at the first big cultivation base. I wanted to go and try out that betting world myself.

However when getting threatened from the Hescos, I knew I shouldn’t slack in cultivating.

Like that crazy sovereign said once to me, having a weak lord wasn’t going to do anything to my troops.

So raising up my cultivation base and getting stronger at any cost was my goal at the moment. I spent a long time planning and strengthening my various troops.

Yet it was time for me to get a boost.

As I channelled my energy throughout my body, I started to link it with my shadow world. In the shadow world, I got a dantian, an entire net of meridians, and my base.

Even if I wouldn’t dare to go there at the moment, I had to test and see if the spiritual energy could circulate the part of my cultivation base and foundation out there.

Without this, everything I’d do here would be limited to just grow up my faint blue energy to higher levels only.

“Phew! It works!” I waited, patiently waited for almost six hours before the spiritual energy I kept gushing towards finally returned back to me.

I kept circulating my energy in my body and pushed them through my feet towards my shadow world. Without getting to see what was going out there, I didn’t know if it was working or not.

Yet I kept holding onto the hope of its success, and luckily I didn’t grow impatient at some point and stopped.

“All is set,” I inhaled a deep breath without changing my current position or opening my eyes, “it’s time to start.”

With my right hand placed on the bones, I initiated the ability of bone absorption.

Even if I was using the normal and slow speed of absorbing bones, it was enough to release such a thick and vast amount of dark shadow energy towards my body.

I knew that rushing to cultivate at once wouldn’t do me any good. So I started first to control this energy, forming a path for it to pass through my body towards my meridians. Then they were pushed to my dantian where they got absorbed and changed into my faint blue energy.

Even if I was compatible with the dark black shadow world energy, I wasn’t able to directly move it around my body carelessly as if it was my own.

My spiritual energy level was still much weaker than this one. So I had to push it first to my dantian, and then the magic started.

I felt the sudden increase in the energy in my dantian to the point of swelling it in a few breaths. Without hesitating, I pushed the energy towards the outer meridians, let the new energy circulate first through my body, before sending everything towards my shadow world foundation.

At this moment, the circuit of my meridians and danitans was already completed and closed. The energy kept getting thrown towards that world and the same amount was sent back to me.

I kept regulating things for an unknown period of time before finally feeling everything was going the way I wanted.

If anyone saw my body right now, they’d see that the absorbed dark energy entered first from my right hand to my right arm dantian, swelling it by double folds before releasing the extra towards my main dantian.

The upper right half of my body worked as a path for the incoming black energy, dying my body inside with faint black.

Then starting from my main dantian, which got swelled up by four times, the energy that’d turn into a faint blue one of mine would gush out like torrents towards my entire body, circulate for a few times before they’d reach my right foot and pass from there.

Once entering my shadow world, I lost track of it. I only saw the gush of the energy from the shadow world sent back to my body through my left foot.

The energy sent joined the meridian network of my body, circulating for a few times in there, before returning back to my shadow world.

Everything was going smoothly as I wanted. And at this moment, I knew I could start cultivating for real at last.

Before doing it, I just opened my eyes once and checked the situation outside. As this circulation and system got established, I didn’t need to exert any conscious control over it anymore.

Seeing that my intervention didn’t cause any negative cascade of changes here and the bone artefact was still expanding its bones outwards, I was relieved.

Much more important than finding a way to solve my problem was to find a balance. With such balance, nothing would happen during my cultivation to interrupt it.
