Chapter 11 - Liu Mei's Phenomenon
n
n
nA sight like this was hard to come by, a crowd of people was sitting all around the streets while cultivating, but it's hard to judge them. No Cultivator would want to miss a chance like that.
nBack in the Spirit Awakening Hall, four Shadow Guard members who were in the Spirit King Stage surrounded Liu Mei. She continued to absorb massive amounts of Spirit Essence. Most of those in the hall, who were at the Grandmaster Stage and lower, were also cultivating. Even the arrogant Zhen Ping was sitting cross-legged, focused on absorbing as much Essence as possible. He had been at the peak of the Grandmaster Stage for a long time and with the help of the Heavenly Phenomenon, he could finally attempt to breakthrough.
nBut, why was the Heavenly Phenomenon so precious? It's because the purple clouds were created from Purple Spirit Essence. It didn't matter if you had Orange or Sky Blue Talent. With the Purple Spirit Essence every Spirit Talent could make Purple Spirit Qi.
nWhy were so many cultivators stuck at one stage for their whole lives? Because their Spirit Qi was not strong enough to break through the walls of their dantian! With the help of the Heavenly Phenomenon, for a moment, everyone in Phoenix city would have Purple Talent!
nUnfortunately, it only lasted for a few minutes. But those few minutes were enough for many cultivators, to breakthrough.
nYou must know, that even the Liu Clan's Leader was only a Spirit King. Being a Spirit King was comparable to being a powerhouse inside the Aurora Country so no one underestimated such opportunity.
nAbove the Spirit Awakening Hall, the Emperor's Flood Dragon was flying happily among the purple clouds, swallowing them greedily.
nBut, nothing could last forever. After around ten minutes, the vortex that sucked the Purple Spirit Essence into Liu Mei's Dantian turned smaller with each passing second and soon disappeared. The purple clouds also vanished just as fast as they appeared.
nAt this moment, everyone's eyes in the hall opened and many cried out loudly
"I BROKE THROUGH!
"
nThe only ones who remained indifferent were Spirit Kings who knew that they wouldn't breakthrough with only this little bit of Purple Spirit Essence.
nOne had to know, it had to be used instantly if one wanted to use it. If this bit of Purple Spirit Qi stayed too long in contact with Spirit Qi in their Dantian, it would be quickly polluted and lose its effects.
nAll Spirit Kings knew that ten minutes wasn't enough for them.
nThe Emperor looked at his son and when the boy's aura suddenly changed into that of a Spirit King, he laughed heartily.
n'As long as we also benefit from this, it's fine,' he thought.
nHe looked at her daughter which still emitted Spirit Grandmaster aura. He didn't mind, because he knew she was wearing a Spirit Artefact that could hide her aura. He was happy that she at least reached the peak of the Spirit King stage.
n'Gosh, if only I knew she would be born with a Purple Talent. I would've awaken her Spirit in the capital instead of some random mountain on my way to the capital. Ah…' He thought back to the day he saw the phenomenon for the first time.
nElder Ming on the stage also broke through after 30 years of being stuck. Tears of joy were flowing down his cheeks.
nLiu Xiaobei was really pleased overseeing the situation. Although it wasn't an opportunity for him, he gained hundreds of new Spirit Kings in the Clan. Before the phenomenon even ended, he already started planning.
nHe sent a bunch of Shadow Guard members to go outside and search for all Spirit Kings who broke through in the crowd. Even if they were further from the hall, there were still some lucky cultivators and they needed to be recruited.
nThe Liu Clan would definitely rise in strength after that day. Even the Shadow Guards alone gained around a hundred new Spirit Kings. That was an amount which would be enough to rule the whole country with. But, Liu Xiaobei would still not dare to declare war.
nIf the Royal Family was in a dead end, the Kingdom would definitely send experts to eliminate them. One Spirit Lord was enough to hold back ten Spirit Kings, but one Spirit Overlord was enough to kill a hundred of them.
nThe Sacred Sword Kingdom had many Spirit Overlords, ready to end their ballsy clan. Two of them would be enough to destroy the Liu Clan. But they couldn't do anything as long as Liu Clan stayed low-profile. If they did, they would create a public outrage where every clan in the country rebels.
nBy the tables, several guest Clan Leaders were looking at their daughters in pity. Even if Xuefeng had an Orange talent, they would still sacrifice them for their clan's prosperity. Having an ally with so many Spirit Kings would be a blessing for them.
nThe only person who was left to himself was Xuefeng. He couldn't even cultivate yet! What bull** phenomenon.
nHe could see everyone busy cultivating. Old people, aunties, uncles, even kids were sitting cross-legged and cultivate, but not him. Everyone ignored him when they chased their own benefits.
n'Just you wait! I will show you what it means to have great talent. When I'm tested, I will have the best talent in the world!' He thought unhappily.
nHe didn't feel it, but when he thought about that, something moved inside his body. A golden light flew down from his head towards his stomach and finally into his dantian. It searched for his Spirit before disappearing inside of it.
nIf Xuefeng saw that light, he would recognize it for sure. It was the Fate law that came into this world with him.
n———
nWhen Liu Mei woke up, she found herself lying on the ground. She checked her surroundings and saw everyone was looking at her.
nPurple hue already disappeared from her eyes and returned to its original color.
nLiu Xiaobei saw her confused face and approached.
n
"Don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong,
" He said as if he could read her mind.
"Not only did you awaken Purple Spirit but also created an incredible phenomenon that helped many people in the clan.
"
nHearing that her mouth took a big 'O' shape and she turned towards Xuefeng, calling out excitedly,
"Big brother Feng! I did it!
"
nShe ignored the Clan Leader, ran towards Xuefeng and hugged him. He was a bit surprised at the start but remembering what he said to her.
nHe smiled and patted her gently on the head.
n
"Right, you did great,
" Xuefeng praised.
"I was watching from the side. You created a big tornado and purple clouds were flying everywhere.
"
n
"Really?! But I don't remember other kids doing anything special. They only went towards that crystal and nothing else happened. Did I help many people?
" She asked looking up from the hug.
n
"Yeah, you will probably be rewarded with many sweets later,
" he said without thinking.
n
"Yey!
"
nLiu Xiaobei didn't mind Liu Mei ignoring him.
n
"Everyone, we will be having a little break from the ceremony. As you can see, an unexpected Heavenly Phenomenon happened that no one was prepared for. We need to take care of the aftermath before we continue,
" Liu Xiaobei announced.
nEveryone nodded in understanding. Those who broke through were currently sitting cross-legged and busied themselves with absorbing the Spirit Essence to solidify their realms.
