Chapter 30 - Crystal Skeleton
In just a few breaths, Lei Yang's body had already been severely deformed by the pressure, and blood seeped out from the corner of his eyes and forehead. It was a suffocating feeling, and a thick aura of death instantly a.s.saulted him.
The sound was mechanical, but after speaking, the two awakened dragons returned to their original status as statues. The light on them also dissipated in an instant.
Although the powerful pressure had disappeared, under the powerful pressure, his body had suffered serious internal injuries. He barely had the strength to move.
He knew how powerful the dragon tattoo was, and with his current cultivation level, he could not control it at all. Therefore, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand up with all his might, walking up the green stone stairs towards the main hall.
Lei Yang felt as if all the bones in his body had been broken, and the pain was unbearable, the skin all over his body had been split open, and a lot of blood had flowed out, thus he had walked all the way up the green stone stairs, leaving a line of b.l.o.o.d.y footprints behind him.
But even though he was not even fifteen meters away, Lei Yang still walked for an entire fifteen minutes before finally reaching the entrance of the great hall with difficulty. He adjusted his breathing at the entrance of the hall for a bit, and then stepped into the great hall.
The moment he stepped through the door, his entire body was bathed in the auspicious golden light. At that moment, the dragon tattoo on his chest let out an unprecedented cheer.
Lei Yang took a long time to get used to the golden light inside the hall. Only then did he manage to see that although the hall looked extremely grand from the outside, with a majestic aura, and the s.p.a.ce inside was extremely s.p.a.cious, but there were nothing placed inside, it was empty. The only thing that he saw was a stone table in the middle of the hall.
Other than that, there was also a crystal-like ball on the table. That crystal ball was a bit larger than an adult's head, but its shape was extremely terrifying because it was the shape of a "skeleton."
"Crystal skull!" Lei Yang saw a golden scripture floating within the skeleton. Waves of golden light came out from the scripture and illuminated the entire hall, causing it to look extremely auspicious.
The four corners of the hall were covered in thick dust. It was clear that no one had been inside the hall for a very long time, but the table with the crystal skull in the center was completely spotless.
Bathed in the light, the pain on Lei Yang's body was slowly, miraculously, alleviated, giving him a feeling of standing under the warm sun in the middle of spring. All the tight muscles on his body also slowly relaxed, and gradually eased up.
Lei Yang did not dare to walk around carelessly, as he did not have the strength to walk around. Thus, he simply stood at the doorway and started meditating.
The golden light slowly seeped into his body. After a while, he was surprised to discover that under the strong pressure earlier, his body was heavily injured. Under the illumination of the golden light, it seemed to be nouris.h.i.+ng itself as it slowly recovered.
"This, could this light actually heal injuries?" Lei Yang thought for a while, allowing the light to enter his body.
At the same time, the mysterious dragon tattoo on its chest continued to absorb the golden light from the scripture, as if it was a baby sucking its mother's milk.
Time unknowingly slipped by, and after a full six hours, Lei Yang felt that his injuries had recovered by more than seven or eight levels.
A large amount of black impurities had been discharged from the skin of his body. It was as if his body was being baptized once again. As he was clear on the impurities within the impurities, his body became even stronger.
The recovery of his injuries and the calming of his heart allowed him to quickly enter a meditative state. This state seemed to be half asleep, half awake. Gradually, his entire being sank into a state of emptiness.
It was unknown when, but Lei Yang found that he was actually able to hear the indistinct sounds of scriptures reciting, and this kind of chanting, caused Lei Yang's entire being to sink into emptiness.
If a cultivation ranker saw Lei Yang in this state, they would definitely be speechless. This was because this was actually a realm similar to that of the supreme expert's' comprehension of the Dao '. Furthermore, he was only a small cultivator in the Spiritual Qi Realm.
Comprehending the Dao was perceiving the world's Laws. From these natural Laws, one could condense their own Dao Fruit, eventually forming their own Dao, one's own Dao.
Only cultivators with "Comprehension of the Dao" would be able to sense such a state, and what kind of profound strength was it? It was an existence that could definitely be called a heavyweight of this world. In the entire South Vietnam, there were only a handful of terrifying existences. If this were to be found out by any outsider, it would definitely shake the entire South Vietnam.
The sound of the chanting scriptures seemed to contain some sort of strange power, as if it could baptize and refine a person's soul! Lei Yang felt that this kind of wondrous realm made it easier for him to clearly understand the nature of heaven and earth, and to pry into the mysteries of heaven and earth.
In the past when he practiced the Thunder Fist, Cloud Piercing Steps, and other cultivation techniques, he had encountered a few puzzling problems that were easily solved, as if his own spiritual wisdom had been opened!
This was because no matter how powerful a cultivation method was, it was impossible to escape the use of the power of heaven and earth. In truth, a cultivation method was a Dao Fruit, a magic technique! However, those were the Dao Fruits left behind by people who had gained enlightenment of the natural laws of Heaven and Earth. They were the Daos of others, the Dharmic powers of others.
Lei Yang was immersed in this realm, and continuously underwent the dual baptism of the body and soul. He was incomparably enjoying it, and time quickly pa.s.sed by.
Lei Yang stretched his waist and stood up, he realized that his body was already in good condition, the strength of his body had reached the early stage of the Seventh Floor of Spirit Qi, but his cultivation had not increased.
His cultivation clearly did not increase, but Lei Yang felt that his strength had increased by a lot, after thinking about it, he still could not find an answer. That kind of thing seemed to be indistinct and illusory, but it just happened that Lei Yang could actually feel it.
This time, the Family Compet.i.tion was too important to him. No matter what, Lei Yang had to rush back to partic.i.p.ate in this time's Family Compet.i.tion, and become the top three in the Family Compet.i.tion.
Because only by doing this would he be able to attract the attention of the family, and only by doing so would the very weak Lei Yang and his parents receive the protection of the family.
Because of Lei Ming's matter, he had already formed an irreconcilable enmity with the law enforcement clan elder. Although he had not revealed his ident.i.ty for the time being, this was a matter that would happen sooner or later.
If his ident.i.ty was exposed, it might bring about endless trouble for his parents. Therefore, right now he had no other choice but to show his face in the compet.i.tion, attract the attention of the family, and obtain the protection of the family. Only then would he be able to resolve his current predicament and welcome the time when he had enough growth.
Feeling that he was in good condition, Lei Yang got up and walked towards the Eight Immortals Table step by step. He realized that there were no restrictions here and that the crystal skeleton was extremely strange.
"For this crystal skeleton to be placed here and want to obtain such an extraordinary item, especially that golden scripture inside, which is emitting an auspicious light, it is even more mysterious. And this is the thing that summoned me here, it must have a great connection with the mysterious dragon tattoo and wants to see if I can take it away."
After Lei Yang carefully probed it, he carefully reached out with his hand, preparing to pick up the "crystal skeleton", but after his hand had just touched the skeleton's surface, a white ball of light suddenly rose from below the skeleton's Eight Immortals Table. As it rose, it burst forth with a blinding light.
