Chapter 7 - Your path will not be easy

But can I revive him? Isn't the condition he's been experiencing all this time caused by me not being able to awaken the golden core in my body?

Will the tragic and painful days that I always feel end after this?

The words of the figure who looked like him made Ye Xiao have thoughts about whether he could awaken his golden core later, if so, everything would definitely go better than before.

"Of course, well I can't hold out any longer, so it's time for you to come back." The figure who looked like Ye Xiao said, answering Ye Xiao's question briefly, then he started making movements with his hands again.

Ehhh...

Ye Xiao who heard the words of the soosk who looked like himself looked confused, he wanted to ask again, but suddenly his self-consciousness faded again and disappeared.

This time Ye Xiao didn't feel anything anymore as if he had disappeared from the world.

On the other side, the figure who looked like Ye Xiao looked at Ye Xiao's departure with a serious expression on his face.

"Your path will not be easy." The figure resembling Ye Xiao muttered as he shook his head. Just as he said this, everything in the world became dark, dark and dark, empty, devoid of even the slightest light.

At this moment, on a lake with a vast expanse of grass, a dimensional void appeared in the sky. The rift slowly grew larger and larger. The next moment, an elderly cultivator, dressed in extremely luxurious attire, emerged from the void.

"Is it here?" the elderly figure asked, looking around. Previously, the dimensional space in the world had been sealed by an unknown force. After some time, the dimensional seal disappeared. This newly emerged elderly figure immediately tore through the void, searching for the epicenter of the earthquake and the tremendous lightning strike. However, when he found any clues as to the origin and center of the events, strangely, nothing had happened.

The lake water even looked calm, as if nothing had ever happened here. Furthermore, not a single blade of grass was burned or destroyed. The old figure even doubted that this place wasn't the epicenter of the previous earthquake and lightning strike.

It was so strange, the old figure even thought he had been wrong about the clues he had sensed earlier.

But, just as he was about to turn around and return to the void, suddenly...

Whoosh...

Boom...

Ehhh...

The old figure was startled and immediately turned around to see what was happening.

Just as he turned around, the old figure saw a small bolt of lightning strike downward, but it stopped and exploded in midair just before it hit the ground.

The old figure could clearly sense the black lightning's powerful and terrifying aura. Fortunately, the lightning was far away from him, so he wasn't affected by the explosion.

Strangely, the old figure could clearly sense the power of the small black lightning bolt, and its explosion was incredibly powerful. However, the surrounding area remained unscathed, and not even the grass or water in the lake seemed to budge.

Curious, the old figure flew closer, trying to sense the origin of the black lightning bolt that had just disappeared.

Ehhh...

But just as the old figure was halfway there, his expression suddenly froze in shock. Right where the lightning bolt had struck, a larger black lightning bolt formed in the void. He wanted to turn away, but he caught a glimpse of the vague appearance of a young man within the black lightning bolt. However, he couldn't clearly see who it was. By the time he was about to turn around, it was too late.

Bang...

The powerful explosion of the black lightning bolt exploded directly where the first lightning bolt had appeared. The old figure was still far from the lightning bolt, but the impact of the explosion immediately struck him, giving him no chance to dodge.

Ahhh...

The elderly figure was struck by the explosion, spraying fresh blood and sending his body flying hundreds of kilometers away.

Meanwhile, the black lightning bolt slowly dissipated. Simultaneously, a young man, lying unconscious and lying still, slowly fell to the ground directly beneath the lightning bolt.

Bug...

The sound of the young man's body collapsing softly could be heard.

Slowly, the young man's consciousness began to return, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"I... Was that real?" muttered the young man, who was none other than Ye Xiao. When he returned, his consciousness had completely faded, allowing him to understand everything that had happened afterward.

He now tried to feel his face and body, wanting to see the wounds and bruises he had previously sustained.

"Ehhh... I'm healed? Could what I experienced earlier not be a hallucination?" Ye Xiao was surprised to see that all his injuries had completely healed, and he felt no pain whatsoever.

Furthermore, he could feel that his physical strength was now vastly different from before, causing his mind to be filled with shock and begin to feel as if what he had experienced earlier was truly real.

But...

But... Just as his mind was filled with shock and confusion, he suddenly felt an excruciating pain in his abdomen.

"Ahh... What's happening to me?" Ye Xiao cried out in pain, not understanding what had happened to him.

He felt the meridians throughout his body burning, and the pain continued to flow and gather in his abdomen. But after a moment...

Ehhhh...

"Why can I feel my meridians?" Ye Xiao was suddenly shocked and realized that he could now suddenly feel the energy pathways throughout his body. This was truly strange to him.

It should be noted that for ordinary people who cannot awaken the golden core within their bodies, they will not be able to feel anything, be it spiritual energy or the energy pathways themselves within their bodies. That was what Ye Xiao felt before, he could not feel anything within his body even though he tried his hardest, because the golden core within his body could never be formed at all, even if it was just a little bit, but now, he really felt strange...
