Chapter 1166 Good Luck Has Its Storm - Part 3

The First Gate instruction was to gather the energy from nature into his Dantian, but his Mana Whirlpool was full of energy that his Dantian needed. Tang Shaoyang had an idea of drawing the energy from his Mana Whirlpool into his Dantian. He followed the idea, connecting his Mana Whirlpool to his Dantian.

The empty Dantian absorbed the energy, and he started to feel the warmth on his belly in the following few seconds. But then he realized something bad when his Dantian absorbed too much mana. His Dantian did not expand as he thought it would. It remained the same size, and it started to crack with how much mana it absorbed.

Tang Shaoyang immediately cut the connection between his Mana Whirlpool and Dantian. He did not know what would happen if his Dantian exploded. The Nine Heavenly Gates Scripture also did not mention what would happen if his Dantian exploded, but an explosion inside his body was not something he wanted for sure.

If his Mana Whirlpool was like a violent vortex, his Dantian was like a calming orb or like a light bulb. There was no movement as it stayed as it was.

ʼNow what should I do with the crack?ʼ Tang Shaoyang asked himself. He did not dare to try the next step when the crack was still there. The next step was to refine the energy in his Dantian into Heavenly Energy. There were still many steps to finish the First Heavenly Gate.

”Letʼs see what I can do with the internal energy in my Dantian.”

Tang Shaoyang tried to control the energy in his Dantian and focused the energy on the cracked parts. He imagined the energy to heal the crack, and he succeeded on the first try. The crack disappeared and the internal energy in his Dantian was stabilized. It was a blind try, and I was surprised it worked.

Then he followed the next step of the First Heavenly Gate, refining the internal energy into Heavenly Energy. He followed the steps and refined all internal energy into Heavenly Energy. The process was not long, less than a minute then the whole energy turned into a drop of Heavenly Energy. That was right, the whole internal energy in his Dantian turned into a drop of Heavenly Energy. And he needed to fill the Dantian with Heavenly Energy.

Step after step, drop after drop, he patiently followed the guide and filled the Dantian with Heavenly Energy in two hours. That was a long process, but he did it. The light orb shone brighter with golden radiant. His mana or internal energy was blue, and the Heavenly Energy was bright white with golden radiance.

The next step was to refine his vein and blood with the Heavenly Energy in his Dantian, and it took a lot of Heavenly Energy to refine his vein and blood. Tang Shaoyang opened his eyes, waking up from his meditation. He realized that the process would be long and arduous.

”Hmmmm…” From the First Heavenly Gateʼs instruction, he could not produce the Heavenly Energy until he refined his whole body. After vein and blood, he needed to refine his bone, marrow, and skin. After that, he needed to refine his organs with Heavenly Energy. Since his Dantian was not that big, he needed to refine his internal energy into Heavenly Energy manually. Two hours to fill his small Dantian, and it might take him a week to refine his whole body.

A thought crossed his mind, ʼWhat if I refine all the mana in Mana Whirlpool?ʼ The refining process did not take that much time, but the fact that he could only refine it for a certain amount of internal energy into Heavenly Energy was time-consuming.

It was a high-risk endeavor since he did not know if it was possible. It could be said that he was doing something in a place he was not supposed to. But he wanted to try it to quicken the process. He wanted to know if it was worth it to spend his time comprehending the Nine Heavenly Gates instead of looking for the boss floor. If the effect was minuscule, he would take it slow. If the benefit was massive for his growth, then he would focus on the Nine Heavenly Gates.

”Letʼs empty Heavenly Energy in my Dantian first,” If something bad happened, he would transfer Heavenly Energy into his Dantian immediately. He followed the guide, moving his Heavenly Energy to his vein. His Dantian was soon empty as Heavenly Energy moved around in his vein, and it was still not enough to refine the veins. He still needed more Heavenly Energy to refine the veins.

Tang Shaoyang took a deep breath, focusing on his Mana Whirlpool. He cut the connection with the spirits since he did not want them to disrupt him. The spirits actually did not know what he was doing. They could not see what he saw since it was like a spiritual body or something similar, something that could not be shared with his spirits. Cutting the connection was just to prevent an unwanted accident.

He released the breath he had been holding up and started the process. He tried to refine the mana in his Mana Whirlpool into Heavenly Energy. It was a small amount for the first time, testing the water if Heavenly Energy would clash with Mana. To his surprise, both energies did not clash but also did not mix together. The small amount of Heavenly Energy followed the Mana Whirlpool rotation, but it did not blend in with Mana.

Heavenly Energy stayed on the outskirts of the Mana Whirlpool. The composition was similar to water and oil. Heavenly Energy stayed at the outskirts of the vortex while Mana stayed at the center.

”Hoooo…” Tang Shaoyang let out a gasp of pleasant surprise, did not think this would work. Then he continued to refine the remaining Mana. Then he noticed a change when the amount of Heavenly Energy surpassed Mana. They switched positions, Heavenly Energy moved into the center of the vortex while Mana stayed outside.

Tang Shaoyang watched the new change in his Mana Whirlpool, pausing his Heavenly Energy conversion. He wanted to observe the new Whirlpool if there was any negative side effect. The center of the vortex was calm and the outside was moving fiercely. Aside from that, he did not feel anything. In case there was a delayed effect, he waited for another ten minutes to see if there was any change.

Ten minutes passed, and there was no further mutation aside from the initial change. That was a good result, and he continued the conversation until he converted all Mana into Heavenly Energy. As the last drop of Mana converted into Heavenly Energy.

[You have successfully transformed your Mana Whirlpool into Divine Whirlpool!]

[You have acquired Divine Power Attribute!]

[You have replaced the Magic Power with Divine Power attribute!]

[Mana Mastery (Passive) Skill has changed into Divine Mastery!]

[Mana Perception (Passive) Skill has changed into Divine Perception!]

[Mana Shroud Skill has changed into Divine Cloak!]

[Mana Manipulation (Passive) has changed into Divine Authority!]

[You have learned a skill, Divine Conversion (Passive)!]

Tang Shaoyang blinked his eyes, looking at the notification before his eyes. The eight notifications were a surprise he did not expect. The System seemed to recognize Heavenly Energy as Divine Power. He did not really understand that much about the energy, but he felt like this should be an upgrade.

Tang Shaoyang scratched the back of his head, ”So whatʼs changed?” He stood up and used his Elemental Manipulation, firing a fireball from his hand. It was a normal fire, not his Chaos Fire. The fire was not the usual crimson fire, but a golden fire. As the golden fireball hit the ground, it exploded. The power was much stronger than the normal fireball for sure.

”What if I use my Chaos Fire?” He thought that might clash. Chaos Fire was created after he took the second talent, Wrath. It was a fire that the demon or devil used, and it relied on Dark Mana. Usually, the mana would convert into dark mana before forming the fire. Now, he no longer had the normal mana, but Divine Power or maybe Divine Mana or maybe Heavenly Energy. He was not sure what to call his newly found power.

Tang Shaoyang activated Chaos Fire in his hand, and he succeeded in activating the skill. The fire was still back, but he could see the golden radiance from the black fire. He maintained the black fire in his hand to observe it longer, then he noticed the white flame flared and then disappeared. From time to time, the white flame would flare up along with the black flame. It was just an occasional occurrence, but there was no disruption which was a good thing.

He tested the new Chaos Fire, and without a doubt, it was at least two times stronger than before. Then he tried the other skills, and without a doubt, all his skills increased in power.

”This…” He was left speechless for a while, but then he grinned ear to ear, showing how happy he was with his discovery. He was glad there was no clash between his new Divine Power and the other skills.

Tang Shaoyang checked the new passive skill, Divine Conversion (Passive). The skill was converting Mana into Heavenly Energy automatically. So, there was no need for him to convert it manually like before. He was fully operated with Heavenly Energy.

Tang Shaoyang returned to his cross-legged posture, focusing on the Nine Heavenly Gate, spreading out his Heavenly Energy to his veins and blood. With over six million Heavenly Energy, he did not need to worry about a shortage of Heavenly Energy to refine his body.

[Your Vitality and Stamina have increased by 2-star!]

By the time he finished refining the vein and blood, the notification rang in his head. His Stamina and Vitality went up by 2-star. It was a lot since 1-star was the same as fifty thousand Attribute Points as he had reached Myth Rank now. He discovered that the refining process had a huge benefit for his physical body. He continued refining Bone, Marrow, and Skin with Heavenly Energy.

[Your Vitality has increased by 4-star!]

[Your Strength has increased by 3-star!]

[Your Agility and Stamina have increased by 2-Star!]

Tang Shaoyang did not stop, the next step was organs. He needed to refine his organs, from his brain to every organ inside his body. Refining organs took much longer time than the previous refining, whole twelve hours.

[Your Strength, Vitality, Stamina, and Agility have increased by 10-star!]

[Your Divine Power has increased by 20-star!]

[You have completed the First Gate of the Nine Heavenly Gate!]

[You have learned a skill, Heavenly Energy Conversion!]

[You have learned a skill, Heavenly Energy Mastery!]

That was the end of the long notification after he finished refining his whole body.
