Starting My Cultivation With Immortality - Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Backflowing Spiritual River

Yun Su never dreamed that a mortal would be attacked by evil spirits in the night and escape without doing anything. In the end, he would swallow the thousand years’ worth of cultivation instead. It was a terrifying fortuitous encounter.

When he woke up, he was buried under the ruins of the east wing. The entire house had collapsed. Several of the huge roof beams had fallen, along with the other green brick planks. Yun Su was crushed under them.

“Hoo-hoo…”

Wang Xuanji was trying her best to lift the beam above but she didn’t have enough strength. As she lifted, she wiped her sweat. She was like a little tabby cat, full of sorrow.

“Brother Yun, Brother Yun. Wake up, are you alright?”

Wang Xuanwen and Wang Xuanwu were helping her but it was useless.

A stream of warm water was dripping into his mouth. Wang Xuanzang was using a soup spoon to feed Yun Su through the gap, afraid that he would get thirsty.

“Cough, cough, cough. Make way. I’ll get up first.”

Yun Su felt as if there was an endless amount of strength in his body at that moment. If he moved her body slightly under the rubble and roof beams, he would be squeezed to the point of cracking.

“Big Brother Yun, you’re awake?”

Wang Xuanji pounced forward and saw Yun Su open his eyes through the beams and boards. She was pleasantly surprised and quickly called for the little guys to move aside.

Yun Su saw that there were still tears on her cheeks. This little girl was soft-hearted. He first asked them to move aside a little more before moving a little. He pushed up the beam that was pressing on him and a pile of collapsed junk. There was a series of cracking sounds before the beam was pushed up by him and he stood up.

When did he become so incredibly strong?

Yun Su had already felt a powerful force in his body but he could not control it well, so he carefully got up. He did not expect the beams that weighed hundreds of kilograms to be pushed up as if they were nothing.

Seeing that Brother Yun had escaped danger, the children were overjoyed and did not think too much about it.

Recalling how he had been pressed down by the female ghost last night and had his lifespan stolen, Yun Su still had a lingering fear. He pondered for a moment and thought to himself, could it be that he had obtained the cultivation of the female ghost?

He sensed that the power seemed to be extremely unstable but if there was any movement, it would be suppressed by some other power in his body. That power seemed to be his infinite Yang energy, which was suppressing the power of the female ghost.

Yun Su clearly remembered that the female ghost had inhaled too much. In the end, her obsession and craze caused her ghost body to be annihilated. A mouthful of pure Qi entered his stomach.

Yin and Yang. Perfect balance.

‘I’m fine. I just need a break. Don’t worry. Go back to your reading.’

Yun Su sent the little guys away and Wang Xuanji did not ask further. As she taught his junior brothers to read, she boiled water and specially added a few pieces of old ginger slices to get rid of the cold and moisture.

When Yun Su finished showering, he realized that Wang Xuanji had already prepared a set of clothes. They were half new and half old and had even been changed to fit him.

The east wing had completely collapsed, so Wang Xuanji cleaned up the storage room in the west wing. There used to be a rotten hole in the roof but she climbed up and covered it with a wooden plank.

There was originally a bed inside that her senior brothers used to use in it. She also prepared a clean blanket.

Earlier, Wang Xuanji had told him what had happened with lingering fear. Only then did Yun Su know that he had been lying under the ruins for an entire day. No wonder everyone was frightened. It was only when he could occasionally make some sounds did the little ones feel more at ease.

Yun Su recalled the female ghost incident last night and was still shocked when he thought about it. Tens of thousands of years of lifespan had been exchanged for the female ghost’s thousand-year cultivation.

“I wonder if the cultivation of this ferocious ghost is any different from that of a cultivator.”

Yun Su suddenly had a thought. He dug out the Mystic Sutra that Wang Xuanji had dug out from the ruins from under his pillow and skipped the first two chapters to read the Enlightenment Chapter.

What was originally bitter and difficult to understand became a certain melody as he read, driving the powerful Qi in his body to flow everywhere, faster and faster.

So that was the case. This Enlightenment Chapter was indeed not spouting nonsense. Although there seemed to be some problems in certain places, it was still a technique that could guide people to absorb Qi into their bodies.

At that moment, Yun Su had the thousand-year-old Ferocious Ghost’s Dao. When she looked at the Enlightenment Chapter again, she almost understood it by analogy.

He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes in deep thought. The Enlightening Chapter, which he had read hundreds of times, seemed to have turned into a magical rhythm in the end. He slowly mobilized the huge Qi in his body. In less than five minutes, he could circulate it freely.

Every time he circulated it, every part of his body would be washed by it. At the same time, a strange comprehension came from it. It was mysterious and profound. It was not an understanding of the world around but a comprehension of the body, Qi, himself, and power.

“HA!”

After dozens of circulations, this pure Qi finally fused into his body and disappeared.

Yun Su felt his entire body becoming lighter and lighter. He had circulated Qi using the Enlightening Chapter dozens of times. With the help of that pure Qi, it was as if a huge lake had been dug into his body. He closed his eyes slightly and could see a huge empty space in his dantian.

“BOOM!”

Lightning struck the ground and a thunderclap sounded in his dantian. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth that he usually could not sense became very clear. It could be picked up anywhere and it was everywhere in the world.

Yun Su was extremely hungry and thirsty and this hunger and thirst became more and more unbearable. Finally, he opened his mouth to the sky and sucked.

Rumble ~

In the sky above his head, countless spiritual energy poured in from all directions as if the heavenly river back flowed, forming a waterfall that fell head-on. It swallowed the spiritual river and finally entered Yun Su’s mouth.

When the spiritual energy entered his stomach, it felt as if he had refined and circulated the pure Qi just now. The rules became apparent and he rolled up the vast amount of spiritual energy that entered his body. Then, it obediently circulated. Every time it circulated, it became gentler and smoother. It became more and more corporeal. The condensed spiritual energy became liquid and finally slowly turned into a trickle that returned to the empty lake in his dantian.

Gradually, more and more spiritual energy surged in. In all directions, they surged into his limbs and bones. The turbulence gathered into a river and finally gathered into a lake in his dantian. The lake became larger and larger, as vast as the sea.

As Yun Su cultivated, the mountain peak where the Mystic Wood Sect was located seemed to be trembling. The spiritual energy of the vast sea gathered into a spiritual sea, becoming denser and denser above the mountain peak, forming a spiritual energy cloud sea.

A cloud sea that covered dozens of kilometers continuously attracted a vast amount of spiritual energy from higher and wider directions. However, it turned into a heavenly waterfall that descended from the sky. The spiritual river flew down and entered Yun Su’s body.

The mountains throbbed. It was as if a larger battle was brewing in this world.

Countless birds and beasts fled in fear. Jackals, tigers, leopards, sheep, deer, pigs, and horses formed a team. Occasionally, one or two creatures with some vitality would also pick up a bag with a stick and carry all their belongings as they fled hundreds of kilometers away.

As Wang Xuanji boiled the chicken soup, she paid attention to Big Brother Yun’s movements. It was weird that an ordinary person was alright after being crushed under ruins for a day. She was a little worried that there would be any hidden injuries, considering how his body had only recovered slightly for two days.

Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to see this phenomenon. Wang Xuanji just felt that it wasn’t that cold tonight. She didn’t even notice the cold disease that usually tortured her all night. She felt warm and unusually comfortable.

Mortals could not see this phenomenon but those with Dao had already discovered it.
