157: Chapter 157 Extraordinary Phenomenon in Cultivation, Ritual Interrupted

Chapter 157: Cultivation Anomaly, Ritual Interrupted

The various "treasures" spewed from the bottom of the abyss gradually rose to a position over fifty meters from the sea surface.

Upon reaching this height, seemingly achieving a certain state of equilibrium, they ceased to continue floating upward.

Some drifted along the fissure exits, slowly landing on the volcanic ash-accumulated seabed rock layer.

Others continuously bobbed up and down with the surging undertow of seawater pouring in.

Meanwhile, parts of the unknown creature skeletons near Fang Cheng's Meditation position vaguely experienced a certain pulling force.

Amidst the harmonious and unified resonance effect of the ocean tides and Breathing Technique, they gradually gathered and circled around him.

The azure light emitted seemed to possess a strong radioactive effect.

It refracted the seawater to be somewhat distorted, presenting ribbon-like, ethereal particle trajectories.

Fang Cheng closed his eyes in Meditation, instinctively running the Breathing Technique.

As his pores opened and closed, they generated a weak suction force, drawing the radiated light into his body.

His body subsequently also faintly emitted dots of blue fluorescent light, transmitting through the surface of his skin and flesh.

Next, the skin all over his body began to exhibit redness, swelling, and itching phenomena, even breaking out into tiny pimples.

Just as his Physical Body was undergoing aberration phenomena due to the radioactive effect,

the Flame of Spirituality in his mind instantly became even more scorching, burning fiercely.

The center of his brows where the pineal gland was located also momentarily transmitted a red micro-light.

Then.

Sparse, dim, bright little dots began to appear at the locations of Fang Cheng's tendons, bones, muscles, and internal organs all over his body.

Entering an even more microscopic perspective,

one could see hundreds of trillions of cells throughout the body constantly dividing, regenerating, annihilating, and undergoing renewal and iteration under the radioactive effect.

During this process, hazy micro-light burst forth from the filamentous chromatin within the cell nuclei.

Resembling crystal-clear, burning light droplets and flowing like water, they condensed into those bright little dots at the pivotal positions throughout the body.

If an Esoteric high monk were present here, he would inevitably be able to see at a glance the Origin of the anomaly presented in Fang Cheng's Cultivate.

This was the "bright drop" recorded in the scriptures of the Anuttarayoga Tantra section.

That is, through the method of Visualization, witnessing the luminous phenomena appearing within the body.

It is the convergence point of mental and physical energy, the manifestation of the power of life's Origin, and to a certain extent similar to the Acupoints theory in traditional medicine.

However, in Esoteric Cultivate, practitioners need to cooperate with mantra recitation and mudra seals, through the blessings of the three mysteries of body, speech, and mind in Cultivate, to be able to attain this incredible and wondrous Realm.

After Visualizing the bright points, the further target of Visualization is the guru, deity, Vidyaraja, Dakini, etc., with specific images gathered from the bright points.

Yet what Fang Cheng was Visualizing now was that wisp of blooming, luminous lamp flame in his own mind.

Guided by the lamp flame, the azure light radiated into the body, after cell division, reorganization, and metabolism, gradually converged into thousands of bright points scattered across the body, instantly making these energy gathering points even brighter.

Then, through the operation of the Breathing Technique, the energy in the bright points flowed through the Qi channels and Bloodline like water, coursing through the whole body.

A portion was absorbed by the lamp flame in the mind, causing the flame to burn more vigorously and bloom with even brighter light.

A portion gathered at the lower abdomen, merging into that warm current to strengthen life energy.

Every time it completed a cyclic operation, the redness, swelling, and ulceration phenomena on the skin's surface were alleviated by a portion, rapidly recovering.

Fang Cheng abruptly produced a sensation of physical explosion-like euphoria.

His whole body grew hot and scalding, and even the seawater enveloping his body faintly showed signs of boiling and evaporation.

The endlessly dark abyss resembled the Universe Void Realm, and the azure light was like the energy rays spewed from a supernova explosion.

Fang Cheng's body also resembled a mini Universe, absorbing and accepting these energy sources, undergoing changes with each passing day.

Presented on the panel were rows of prompt information.

[ Your body absorbs a certain biological energy, Physique increases by 0.001 ]

[ Your body absorbs a certain biological energy, Physique increases by 0.001 ]

...

After both the Breathing Technique and Meditation skills obtained upgrades,

the Physique attribute also, under continuous accumulation, developed from quantitative change toward qualitative change, remarkably approaching the 40-point milestone.

The originally dormant and suffocated body re-emanated vibrant vitality.

"Rumble—"

Fang Cheng stood quietly, resembling a giant whale breathing in and out, with faint roars of ocean waves and echoing thunderous roars!

An azure breath was abruptly born within his body, resembling a trickling stream continuously pouring into the lower abdomen.

Enriching where the originally empty Innate Origin Qi was located, gradually forming a vast ocean.

Perhaps,

this was the legendary "Dantian" and "internal True Qi"!

...

In the underground karst cave, torches were inserted all over the four walls.

The flickering firelight illuminated an altar built of white strip stones at the central location in a dim and shadowy manner.

Zheng Hongxin, leading dozens of Advanced sacrificial personnel, sat cross-legged with eyes closed in Meditation.

At the same time, they chanted some obscure and difficult-to-understand prayers in their mouths.

As if praying to a certain deity, begging the deity to lend an ear and bestow redemption and grace.

Meanwhile, the white bone stele standing tall on the altar displayed the figures of another group of Zhenxiang Society members above the headland.

The atmosphere at the scene was exceptionally solemn, obviously holding a certain mysterious religious ritual.

Suddenly, everyone's bodies shook in unison, all withdrawing from the meditative state.

"What is going on? The communication loop has been interrupted?"

Not a single error, first released, inside, content, at, look one by one!

"Has the sacrificial ritual ended so quickly?"

Everyone successively wore looks of shock, discussing in whispers with one another.

Finally casting doubtful gazes toward acting president Zheng Hongxin.

"It has not ended."

Zheng Hongxin opened his eyes, gazing at the surging sea surface scene on the stele, frowned and shook his head:

"It seems the Lord has been disturbed by another form of summoning interference, casting his gaze elsewhere and ignoring us."

The others heard this and were startled in horror.

"Could the Lord think our faith is not loyal enough and abandon us?"

"Yeah, will we suffer divine punishment and go mad, or simply all become pure-blooded ones?"

These words were not alarmist talk.

The name of the god worshipped by the Zhenxiang Society could not be uttered using human throat sounds at all, and could only be replaced with "Lord".

While obtaining extraordinary abilities from Him, it was actually also selling one's own Soul to the other party, from then on fortune and misfortune being unpredictable, losing the power to control one's destiny.

Two hundred years ago, during that period of the "Great Plague".

The inaugural president exhausted his efforts, utilizing ancient remains, sacrificing the lives of numerous members, and ultimately successfully crafting a holy artifact named "truth stele".

Using such an item as a surrogate Meditation target, anchoring the self-awareness of the members, and resolving the frequent mental chronic illnesses among the members.

Then artificially creating a deity with a specific image, allowing the Yongan Island populace to worship and adore.

And holding grand sacrificial rituals every year to please the deities and share part of their mental pressure.

This was also the true Origin of the "Sea Queen" in the folk beliefs of Yongan Island.

Outsiders always thought that the Zhenxiang Society worshipped evil gods, but in fact what they worshipped more was truth.

Obtaining special abilities through the method of Meditation, possessing a longer lifespan than Mortals.

Using the truth stele to dispel dark Chaos, trying their best to maintain sanity and human identity.

Combining the two, hence naming it the "Truth and Meditation Fellowship".

It was just that because the energy contained in the truth stele was nearing exhaustion,

in recent years, many official members found it difficult to control their physical and mental problems, ultimately still turning into mermen, completely throwing themselves into that god's Domain.

The current Zhenxiang Society could be said to be in its weakest moment in two hundred years.

Therefore, they wholeheartedly expected this harvest to be a bit larger, so as to continue maintaining the anchoring effect of the truth stele.

Zheng Hongxin did not know why this kind of change happened, and although his heart was very anxious, he could only speak to comfort everyone:

"After the ritual establishing the spacetime loop is interrupted, the Lord will quickly fall back into a deep sleep. We can only prepare more sacrifices next time..."

As he spoke, his brows suddenly furrowed tightly, his gaze fixed tightly on the image of a fishing boat displayed on the stele.

That was the image transmitted back by Feng Kehai through Meditation, and they were suffering persecution from enemies.

Just as Zheng Hongxin wore an angry expression, preparing to rush over to rescue them immediately,

suddenly, gunfire boomed outside the karst cave, faintly resounding like roasting beans.

Immediately afterward, the tightly closed stone door of the sacrificial grand hall was blasted open with a boom.

A group of people wearing combat uniforms and holding submachine guns in both hands poured in successively.

The leader was a crew-cut man with a fierce gaze and a little blood stains on his body.

He was still chewing gum in his mouth, seeming to suppress his excited emotions.

It was precisely Minister Luo Lie of the Noah Organization.
