Chapter 131: The Change in the Dan Tian

  Reflected in the bright blue eyes was a pale face, that face was deathly pale, two eyes were bloodshot, with a trickle of fresh blood flowing from them and hanging on the face, all the way to the corners of the mouth, and that mouth was crimson like blood, two not-so-long fangs protruded from the lips, in the dark night, an eerie glow emanated.

  "Ah!!"

  Xiao Xianfeng screamed in agony, but she still had a thread of consciousness. Her small hands clutched Ye Chen's arm tightly, and the immense pain made her entire body convulse. Blood beads oozed out from the pores on her skin, staining her tattered but clean clothes completely crimson.

  "Meow..."

  "Meow..."

  Meowing softly, with blue tears rolling down her eyes, she shrunk her body into Xiaoxuefeng's arms, as if trying to give her strength and ease her suffering.

  Ye Chen lay quietly there, unaware of everything. He had been in a coma for the past month, his consciousness sealed by the Chaotic Sacred Soul in the Chaotic Sacred Mark space, and the space was completely closed off.

  In Ye Chen's body, all his meridians were severed, and the blood and gas in his body flowed out of the meridians into his muscles, internal organs, and bones. During this month, the chaotic immortal soul in the void frantically absorbed the external spiritual energy, constantly refining his physical body, strengthening his internal organs and bones. The originally partially divine orifice was also approaching perfection during this period, and tonight was the final moment to completely strengthen that orifice.

  A surge of powerful blood energy gushed out from the divine orifice, but since all the meridians were severed, it couldn't enter them. Instead, it all merged into his muscles, and a portion was absorbed by the star map formed by 99 cellular particles.

  The thread of divine power that remained in his body did not disappear as Ye Chen had imagined, but instead converged into his dantian after his meridians were severed, attempting to shatter it as well. However, the dantian was sealed by the Great Dao, and although the seal would not counterattack, it was also impossible for Tianji's divine power to erode it.

  The remaining thread of Heavenly Machine's power in Ye Chen's body continued to wander around his dantian, as if trying to break through and damage it. After a long time, the Great Dao seal seemed to have sensed this weak and small power attempting to seep in, and the Dao patterns began to flicker on the walls of Ye Chen's dantian.

  Ye Chen's body was filled with the aura of the Grand Dao, which seemed to stimulate the 'Shennong Baicao Ding' that had been dormant in his dantian. It lightly trembled within Ye Chen's dantian, and the sacred emperor's extraordinary aura burst out, immediately counter-stimulating the Great Dao seal.

  The Great Dao seal was enclosed in Ye Chen's dantian, emitting billions of rays of light. The marks of the Great Dao intertwined to form a piece, constituting a vast web of Great Dao laws that directly enveloped the 'Shennong Baicao Ding'.

  "Bang!"

  A long, clear and crisp sound came from Ye Chen's body, Meow Meow was shocked and suddenly jumped out of Xiao Xianfeng's arms, staring at Ye Chen who was unconscious with wide eyes in disbelief.

  "Bang!"

  Another loud sound, like the tolling of a bell from the depths of time and space. Meow's eyes finally showed a look of shock, with a blue, eerie glow flickering in her pupils.

  "Ah... big brother, Xian'er is so sad, so sad!"

  Xiao Xianfeng let out a pained cry, tightly clutching Ye Chen's arm as her body rolled back and forth. Her mouth was slightly open, revealing two sharp fangs, and she stared at the skin on Ye Chen's arm, her throat twitching as if she was about to lose control and bite down.

  At this time, Ye Chen's body is undergoing a tremendous change. Under the stimulation of the law of the Great Dao Seal, the 'Shennong Baicao Ding' is further awakened. Although it has not fully awakened, it can barely contend with the power of the Great Dao Seal. The two are constantly colliding in Ye Chen's body, making his dantian and even his entire body a battlefield!

  Ye Chen's dantian was sealed by the Great Dao, and it was said that it was as hard as divine iron, but that was an understatement. Ye Chen's dantian under the seal of the Great Dao's law was several times harder than even the sacred artifact or the Sacred Emperor himself. In this world, there was no one who could unlock the seal on his dantian except for the Sacred Emperor or the Sacred Artifact.

  Therefore, even when the power of the Great Dao's seal and the 'Shennong Hundred Herb Cauldron' collided in his dantian, it did not cause any damage to Ye Chen's physical body. However, it was a different story for his divine consciousness. Because the Chaotic Immortal Soul knew this, he had sealed Ye Chen's divine consciousness within the Chaotic Immortal Mark beforehand. With the protection of the Chaotic Immortal Mark, it was impossible to affect Ye Chen's divine consciousness.

  The power of the Great Way's seal and the 'Shennong Baicao Ding' clashed in a fierce battle within Ye Chen's dantian. Meanwhile, another part of his body was undergoing an intense transformation, as one of his acupoints finally fully spiritualized. The moment it fully spiritualized, a deafening roar erupted from within Ye Chen's body, like the sound of a raging river, its momentum astonishing. A torrent of blood energy surged out of that spiritualized acupoint, like a dam breaking.

  At this moment, Ye Chen's entire body emitted a warm golden light from every pore, and the rolling blood filled the entire cave. As the bloody aura enveloped her, Xiaoxian Shuang's body and mind relaxed, all pain disappeared without a trace, and the blood on her face and body vanished as if it had suddenly evaporated.

  The two pointed teeth in his mouth slowly retracted, and his complexion began to turn rosy. Little Fairy Frost bathed in the orange-golden blood energy, feeling that every pore on her body was extremely comfortable.

  Ye Chen's body, the great river-like blood and gas contained a more vigorous vitality than before, the blood and gas circulated in the body, this time not only flowing to the muscles, but also to the internal organs, bones, and even the meridians.

  Blood and gas flowed through, all the broken meridians healed at a visible speed to the naked eye, and continued to become stronger and more resilient. In just one short hour, it had exceeded several times its previous strength.

  Ye Chen's physical body was strengthened in every way, with his blood and energy surging through him like a thousand horses galloping, causing the entire stone cave to shake violently, with thunderous roars that never ceased.

  However, Ye Chen had not yet woken up, because the great war in his dantian had not ended. The 'Shennong Baicao Ding' had not been thoroughly activated and was now gradually at a disadvantage. If things continued like this, it would soon be suppressed by the power of the Great Dao's seal.

  "Brother, big brother, wake up..." Seeing Ye Chen's body undergo such a huge change, his blood and life energy were several times more vigorous than when he was not injured. Xiao Xianfeng's emotions suddenly became excited, thinking that Ye Chen was about to wake up, and she kept shaking his arm.

  "Ah!"

  Xiao Xianfeng let out a soft cry, and accidentally scratched her finger on the dry grass, but she didn't mind the pain. She saw that Ye Chen was still not awake, so she stretched out her small hand to his stomach and pushed hard, calling out: "Big brother, wake up! Wake up, okay? Xian'er misses you, wants to hear you talk."

  Xiao Xianfeng's fingertips had a drop of bright red blood on Ye Chen's lower abdomen, and that drop of blood instantly disappeared from his clothes, entering the skin in an instant, and directly penetrating into the Dan Tian.

  At this moment, Ye Chen's dantian suddenly emitted a crackling sound like lightning, and the patterns of the Great Dao seal in his dantian flashed non-stop. The drop of blood also had hidden patterns that appeared, swallowing each other with the patterns of the Great Dao seal. The 'Shennong Baicao Ding' in his dantian hummed loudly, and one after another, dao marks floated on its body.

  "Crack!"

  A faint crackling sound, the Taoist patterns on the body of the 'Shennong Baicao Ding' suddenly broke, and at this moment a burst of chaotic colored flames suddenly erupted from inside the cauldron. The flames instantly burned the broken Taoist marks on the cauldron's body into ashes.

  "Hum!"

  The tripod body trembled again, the emperor's extraordinary aura filled the entire elixir field, suppressing the power of the Great Way seal. Under Xiaoxian Frost's drop of blood, the 'Shennong Baicao Ding' took advantage of the moment when the Great Way seal was weakened by the curse to not only break its own residual sealing power but also secretly suppress the Great Way seal in Ye Chen's elixir field, gaining the upper hand!

  The ancient patterns of flowers, grass and trees on the body of 'Shennong Baicao Ding' seemed to have come alive, detaching themselves from the surface of the cauldron, shaking off wave after wave of unparalleled power and opposing the sealing power of the Great Way!

  Ye Chen's body was ablaze with internal strife, but he himself remained completely unaware, his divine consciousness still trapped within the Chaotic Heavenly Seal.

  The battle between 'Shennong Baicao Ding' and the seal of the Great Dao is not something that can be ended in a short period of time, this point the chaotic immortal soul deeply understands. He certainly will not release Ye Chen's divine consciousness, otherwise his own divine consciousness would immediately disintegrate and turn into an undead person.

  "Big brother, are you not going to wake up? Waaahhh..." After messing around for half a day, Ye Chen still hadn't woken up, and his body was occasionally emitting loud noises. Little Xian Shuang was terrified, and she quickly hugged Miao Miao in her arms, stroking its soft fur as she pitifully said: "Miao Miao, what's wrong with big brother? Why won't he wake up? Waaahhh... Big brother will be okay, right? Tell me that big brother will be okay..."

  "Meow..." Meow stretched her head into Xiaoxian Shuang's arms and rubbed against her, calling out softly.

  "Meow, we can't wait here anymore. What if Big Brother doesn't wake up? Tomorrow, we'll take Big Brother and leave this place to find someone to treat him. Big Brother must be sick... But, but neither you nor I know how to treat people, and I don't want anything to happen to Big Brother." Little Xian Shuang said, wiping away tears, her small face streaked with rain, her big eyes swollen.

  "Meow... " The low meowing continued, as two small cat paws gently scratched at Xiaoxianfeng's arm. It buried its head in Xiaoxianfeng's chest, and from the bright blue eyes, two sparkling tears gradually formed, before falling unnoticed onto Xiaoxianfeng's body.

  "Meow meow, will you come with us tomorrow? I don't want to leave you behind." Little Xian Shuang hugged Meow Meow even tighter.

  "Meow... meow..." Meow meowed very human-like in Xiao Xianfeng's arms.

  "In the future, I want to always have Miao Miao by my side."

  Meow...
