Death… And Me

Chapter 405 - Surpassing Expectations

Suddenly, Roan felt some Yin Energy passing through his and Reanʼs connection.

”I see, you are forcefully driving out all the Yin Energy inside his Dantian.”

Rean nodded.

”Yes. Itʼs not a permanent fix, but it should be enough for some time. Yin Energy is not something that instantly accumulates. Thatʼs why he was also able to break through into the Middle Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm.”

However, Roan found it a little strange.

”Wasnʼt his Dantian using Yin Energy to cultivate? If you drive all of it out, will it not negatively affect him?”

Sister Orb was the one to answer that question.

[No. What Tissan has is a Pure Yin Body. His Dantian is still normal.]

Roan finally understood.

”I see, so thatʼs why.”

Rean also explained.

”Sister Orb is right. However, his cultivation level will definitely drop from the Middle Stage to the very start of the Initial Stage after Iʼm done. Heʼs a man. He has to have Yang Energy to keep the balance of his cultivation. Keeping his Middle Stage Energy Gathering Realm would be a terrible idea since it is being sustained by Yin Energy.”

[I wonder just how marvelous it would be if he was a woman. This amount of Yin Energy would be simply too good. Alas...]

Rean shook his head.

”Donʼt worry, Sister Orb. His Pure Yin Body would not be that bad in the end. Once I fill his Dantian with Yang Energy, the Yin Energy that his body naturally produces will definitely complement it. It wonʼt be as good as a woman with a Pure Yin Body, but he will definitely be above ordinary people.”

Roan then said.

”I understand what you are doing. You will seal an enormous amount of Yang Energy in his Dantian so that his own bodyʼs Natural Yin Energy will interact with it. Because he has a Pure Yin Body, it will help a lot to keep the Yang Energy sealed there for his own use. Naturally, his cultivation will start to progress smoothly as long as there is still Yang Energy remaining. I guess only you, who can control Light Element that canʼt damage his Datian, can do it.”

”However, what will happen after he uses all the Yang Energy available? Itʼs not like you can stay by his side forever, right?”

Rean laughed before answering.

”Isnʼt that perfect? We need a loyal spy. As long as he keeps gathering information for us, I will keep providing him with Light Element Yang Energy so that he can cultivate. Otherwise, he will definitely stagnate again. Or could it be that you feel bad for him to be trapped in this situation?”

Roan looked at Rean with some surprise in his eyes.

”I didnʼt expect that you could come up with such an idea. However, you know me enough to understand that I would definitely use this kind of option. Obviously, I wonʼt complain.”

Roan then narrowed his eyes.

”However, a naive idiot like you wouldnʼt do it on purpose, right? Let me guess, itʼs just a coincidence that it ended like this. Otherwise, you would probably heal him completely since you feel pity for the drag.”

Rean then looked in the distance as if he hasnʼt heard anything.

”Today is such a nice day, donʼt you think?”

Roanʼs mouth twitched. What fucking nice day was he talking about? They were inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. There is no such thing as day or night inside here.

Of course, all that conversation was made through their soul connection so that Tissan wouldnʼt hear.

Tissan kept paying attention to his cultivation when all of a sudden, he noticed it dropping.

”Ah! My cultivation!”

Sure enough, his cultivation dropped from the Middle Stage to the Initial Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm. Not only that, it was quickly regressing even more.

”Yo-Young Master...”

Tissan felt like crying. It took him an eternity to achieve that breakthrough, but it was now gone, just like that.

”Shut up, idiot! Just observe as your grandfather here does his work.”

Tissan was feeling gloomy. He thought that Reanʼs method failed, and he was simply finding some excuse. However, if he was already harmless in the Middle Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm, let alone now in the Initial Stage. He could only look as those strands of frigid energy kept coming out as his cultivation dropped even more.

Rean ignored the guyʼs tears and concentrated on the job. In the end, Rean spent almost two hours doing that. Finally, Rean noticed that he was almost done.

”Great! Now, for the last push...”

Several more Spirit Stones appeared around Rean as he began to frenziedly absorb them. In fact, he was doing that quite poorly, so a lot of the Spiritual Energy was being lost in the process. Thatʼs because Rean didnʼt want to slowly use them correctly. He just wanted as much as possible in a single go.

*Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff...*

The Spirit Stones then began to turn into dust one after another.

”This is enough.”

ʼLife Style, Third Form, Purification!ʼ

ʼLife Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!ʼ

ʼLife Style, First Form, Enhancement!ʼ

The Third Form began to clean Tissanʼs body of all the poison left behind by the many different pills and medicines he tried in the past. The Second Form recovered the damage left behind by them, as for the First Form...

”Alright, you better be ready. A show is about to start.”

Sister Orb and Roan looked at Tissan, not understanding what Rean meant by that. Tissanʼs body faintly shone with Light Element, which obviously showed that he was under the effect of First Form of the Life Style.

Tissan also heard Reanʼs words and didnʼt quite understand what he meant with that either. However, his confusion only lasted for a few moments. Suddenly, Tissanʼs body erupted with a ridiculous amount of Spiritual Energy!

”Argh!”

Immediately, Tissan felt like his body was about to explode. However, Rean kept his hand on Tissanʼs body as he continued to keep the First Form of the Life Style active. Thanks to the Enhancement of his capabilities, Tissanʼs body was barely holding itself.

It was then that all that Spiritual Energy began to rush into his Dantian like a torrential wave. Not only that, but because of his Pure Yin Body, that Spiritual Energy was full of Yin Energy as well.

Tissan gritted his teeth as he squeezed the words from his mouth.

”Wh-What is ha-happening?”

Rean then explained.

”You have consumed way too many medicines with powerful effects in your life. However, you simply couldnʼt absorb it at all because of your cultivation defect. Now that your fault is temporarily fixed, your Dantian is taking it all back. Itʼs just that your Dantian had been hungry for way too long, so itʼs acting just a little bit overboard.”

Just a little bit? Tissan felt like he would die any second now. Of course, with Rean there, it didnʼt really happen. There was another point as well. As mentioned before, all the Spiritual Energy was full of Yin Energy as always, thanks to his Pure Yin Body. Usually, it would be useless since the same situation as the past would repeat itself.

However, Rean already sealed a ridiculously massive amount of Yang Energy inside Tissanʼs Dantian. His Pure Yin Body was making sure to not let it escape. The moment that Spiritual Energy full of Yin Energy entered his Dantian, the Yin Energy immediately fused with that Yang Energy available. Yin and Yang complement each other. That being said, Tissanʼs cultivation began to swell like a balloon as well!

First, Tissan went through the entire Energy Gathering Realm Initial Stage!

*Boom!*

Without even feeling a bottleneck, he broke through Energy Gathering Realm Middle Stage! But that didnʼt stop there. A few minutes later...

*Boom!*

Another burst of Spiritual Energy came out of Tissanʼs body. Late Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm achieved!

Even Rean was surprised with the amount of Spiritual Energy present in his body.

ʼPerhaps this is also a side effect of his Pure Yin Body.ʼ

Rean then asked Tissan.

”As part of the Imperial Family, you definitely received a good cultivation technique. Do you know the part about the breakthrough to Foundation Establishment?”

Tissan nodded his head with some difficulty.

”Good. Keep that in mind since you will probably need it.”

Tissan was delighted to hear that. However, the pain quickly reminded him that it wasnʼt over yet.

Sure enough...

*Boom!*

One more wave of Spiritual Energy and Tissanʼs cultivation progressed to the Peak Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm. Finally, the thing Rean said happened. Tissan reached the limit of the Energy Gathering Realm. Immediately, Tissan concentrated on his own cultivation technique as he began his breakthrough.

Rean also took a few Spirit Stones out, afraid that Tissan would run out of Energy during the breakthrough.

Tissan quickly formed the pillar of his cultivation as the Spiritual Pool in his dantian dried up. One had to take their hats off to the Imperial Familyʼs techniques. Tissanʼs breakthrough went really smoothly. Not only that, but he surpassed Reanʼs expectations by creating a total of Seven Foundation Pillars! Thatʼs an impressive number that would rank him between the top of the Imperial Familyʼs geniuses.

Finally, the Spiritual Energy in Tissanʼs body ran out. But it was still enough to bring Tissan halfway through the Initial Stage of the Foundation Establishment.

*Thud!*

Right after, Tissan fell to the ground as he lost his consciousness. Rean didnʼt find it strange since his body went through an enormous burden just now.

”Alright. Let Tissan recover on his own. We can talk to him when he wakes up.”
