Chapter 394: 394
For the next few days, Zhou Yuan stayed in the cave dwelling to stabilize his Genesis Qi cultivation, which had grown rapidly after advancing to the fourth layer Alpha-Origin stage . It was as Li Qingchan had said, the Heaven task was very important, and he intended to do everything in his power to boost his abilities .
Over this period, the Heaven task was also officially publicized by the sect . It caused a huge commotion as expected, numerous disciples eager for a spot .
Everyone knew that a Heaven task represented a Heaven Credit, an item so valuable in the sect that even the ten Chosens could not afford to ignore it .
Therefore, each Heaven task would result in an intense fight between the top disciples of the various peaks . Though these Heaven tasks were filled with danger, no one could resist the allure of a Heaven Credit .
This time was not going to be an exception .
As such, the moment the ‘Black Flame Province’ Heaven task was announced, an earth-shaking fight quickly broke out among the finest of the purple sash disciples .
There were after all many purple sash disciples, but only ten spots for this Heaven task . Furthermore, two of them were already taken by the captain Li Qingchan and vice-captain Zhao Zhu .
Hence, only eight spots remained, and one could easily imagine how crazy the fight for these spots would be .
While the other purple sash disciples were competing fiercely among themselves, Zhou Yuan had already secured a spot thanks to Yaoyao . Thus, he could remain in his cave dwelling and concentrate on his training .
Five days quickly passed in this manner .
. . .
Inside the cave dwelling .
Zhou Yuan was seated atop a boulder near the edge of a cliff, while several pieces of green wood hovered in front of him . These green wood pieces were of different shapes and sizes, and the only thing they had in common were the vestiges of time left on their bodies .
All of them were clearly rather ancient wood pieces that were filled with Yimu Qi .
Zhou Yuan had spent a great sum of money to purchase these century-old wood pieces from the Glittering Jewels Pavilion . His goal was to practice the Taiyi Green Wood Mark .
“The first step is to form a Taiyi Mark inside my body . Only after forming this mark, will I be able to infuse the Yimu Qi from these ancient wood into my flesh . ” Zhou Yuan muttered to himself .
To carve a Taiyi Mark on his body, he also needed Yimu Qi from such ancient wood .
Zhou Yuan took in a deep breath, and gently shut his eyes . He then interlocked his fingers, as he began coating the ancient wood pieces with his Genesis Qi . Wisps of green Qi soon seeped out from the ancient wood pieces, before flowing into Zhou Yuan’s body through his nose .
Zhou Yuan’s Spirit immediately took control of the green Qi, which was filled with life energy . He carefully manipulated it, fusing it into his flesh, slowly but steadily leaving faint, tiny and complex markings .
Drawing a Taiyi Mark was an extremely complicated process . The mark had to cover nearly Zhou Yuan’s entire body, and had to be fused into his flesh . Moreover, even the slightest error would result in immediate failure .
As such, the first step to mastering the Taiyi Green Wood Mark was already no mean feat .
Zhou Yuan was completely immersed in his training . Four hours quickly flew by, before he gradually opened his eyes . He looked at his arm, seeing a faint green glow appear, before slowly receding .
“Only one percent has been completed after several days of hard work…” Zhou Yuan let out a bitter laugh . He had given his all during these past few days, but had only made little progress . Looks like it would take a substantial amount of time for him to complete the Taiyi Mark in his body .
Of course, the most important factor was that there was too little Yimu Qi .
Zhou Yuan glanced at the ancient wood pieces in front of him . They had begun to turn to dust after their Yimu Qi was drained .
These ancient wood pieces were at most a century old, and did not possess rich Yimu Qi . However, it was a little difficult to find thousand-year ancient wood in the Glittering Jewels Pavilion .
Zhou Yuan sighed . With a wave of his sleeve, the dust in front of him was blown away .
“Oh?”
He sensed something in his mind after finishing his training . His body quickly turned slightly ethereal as he transformed into a shadow and dashed forward . In less than a few dozen breaths, he had reached the entrance of the cave dwelling .
