Chapter 28: 28: Divine Qi Vein

"If you have this powerful Spirit Crystal in your disposal, why don’t you cultivate it instead? Your cultivation strength would skyrocketing the moment you tapped into its boundless Qi energy, no?" Ash said while studying the intricate Spirit Crystal.

"Unfortunately, I can not. Or rather, I’m not allowed to cultivate its boundless Qi Energy. As you may already know, each Spirit Crystal is an echo of its former being. If a powerful being dies, their corporeal Spirit would return to earth first before their being is reincarnated into a new form of life. This process took a very long time to complete. However, if a being is powerful enough, they could maintain their will and desire while still in their crystal form."

"So, basically, you were saying that the former self of this Spirit Crystal still remains and is sentient at the same time?"

"Correct, my lord. That’s why I can’t cultivate this Spirit Crystal directly. Even breathing near the crystal is enough to suffocate me." Yue Yin was intrigued when the phoenix wasn’t even affected by the residual Qi Energy that oozed out into the air.

Knock! Knock!

Ash pecked the big Spirit Crystal with his beak to test its hardness. "Hmm, intriguing."

Not having enough reaction, Ash keep knocking the crystal. Now, he was hitting the crystal instead, and made Yue Yin panicked.

"Excuse me. Anybody home?"

"Please be courteous, my lord!" Yue Yin said.

Knock! Knock!

"Hello? Are you there?" Ash peeked through the crystal with an eye.

"Frivolous!" A godly voice resounded thunderously, shaking the cave and the earth violently. "Whomst dares to disturb mine seclusion!"

The white smoke emerged from the Spirit Crystal, it slowly took a shape into a half horse and half man figure. As though the image was blurry and transparent, Ash could feel the absolute authority that was being exuded by the half horse and half man figure. It demanded utmost submission when it looked at Ash and Yue Yin.

Standing tall at 25 feet on all four of the hooves, the Centaur Type Spirited Immortal Beast, looking at the Phoenix with a slight complexion.

On the other hand, Ash also felt the familiarity as if they had known each other for a long time in their previous life. Since there’s no other being in the cave, Ash opted to summon the [Heavenly Immortal Beast Codex as to identify the figures behind him.

"Ah! I found it! The book is also depicting his physical features perfectly! There’s no doubt anymore. You must be the Heavenly Horse King of The North, Ma Shen!"

Ma Shen lowered his head, looking at the young phoenix. It’s been eons ago since the last time somebody would call his name in such manners. It immediately soothes his rage for being rudely awakened.

"Thou hath intrigued me with thine book, little fledgling."

Ash became very cautious when the Heavenly Horse King descended from the height, his size was also gradually decreased and stopped when he was as big as a stallion war horse.

"Pray tell, from whom doth thy bequeathed the Codex?"

Since no malice was felt from Ma Shen’s person, Ash also lowered his guard. There’s no need to antagonize such a great figure such as Ma Shen.

"Lady Huxian of the Lake bequeath this Codex to me."

Ma Shen’s fierceful face mellowed as soon as he heard her name. "She is... alive? Oh, Princess Huxian... how long the day hath passed since the last time thou graces me with your beauty."

"She’s alive, my lord. Her Highness saved me when I was a little chick." Ash glanced between Ma Shen and Yue Yin alternately. He then gestured at the wolf to lend her ear for a moment. ’How is this possible?! What is her true being, really?’

Yue Yin whispered back, ’How should I know a background of someone of great importance?’

’A princess?’ Ash pondered deeply. ’A princess of what?’

Soon, the Heavenly Horse King had regained his composure. And then, he also noticed the ring on the phoenix’s left leg. Ma Shen immediately understood the meaning. In his eyes, the Storage Ring was not just an ordinary ring.

"Say, little fledgling. What business doth thy hath for waking me up from my slumber?"

Ash put the codex back to his Storage Ring. "To simply put, I’d like to ask your permission on behalf of my partner to cultivate the boundless Qi Energy from your Spirit Crystal."

"I see." Ma Shen shut his eyes briskly, nodding a few times. "You may take as much as you need. Though I must forewarn thee, the Primordial Qi in mins Spirit Crystal is a chaotic one. I can no longer control it without my corporeal body."

"We understand."

"Very well. I shall guide you two."

After a nod of confirmation from Ma Shen, Ash and Yue Yin sat by Spirit Crystal. After a while, their mind was sucked into a chaotic vortex of Primordial Qi.

"Follow my voice." Ma Shen said calmly.

If it wasn’t for Ma Shen’s spirit, the their minds might have been devoured by the vortex.

Before long, Ash could feel his Dantian was flooded with the Chaotic Primordial Qi. His cultivation stage and beast rank climbed at terrifying speed. In the next day, he had creached 4th Stage Earth Rank, in the next two days, he had jumped from 5th Stage Earth Rank Immortal Beast to 7th Earth Rank Immortal Beast.

On the seventh day, Ash and Yue Yin had reached the pinnacle of Earth Rank Immortal Beast and only one step away to break through to the Sky Rank.

Even Ma Shen was terrified upon witnessing such talent. He then finally understand the young phoenix’s true nature. The Heavenly Phoenix Incarnate!

Finally, on the eighth day, the two managed to surpass their limitations. Not just one, but two Heavenly Tribulation were raging outside. Both of them were now in a trance state and can not be bothered by menial labor such us fending off the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Hmph! Those bunch of cowards are at it again." Ma Shen saw through the stone walls above him, looking at sky and beyond.
