114: Chapter 114 A New Path
An hour later.
Ji Yebai returned to the manor.
With a loosening of his hand, the rooster with brilliant, colorful feathers immediately ran off, clucking away.
Watching the rooster disappear into the flower bushes, Ji Yebai began to ponder.
He had some clues in his mind.
But they were not very clear.
Therefore, he needed to verify them.
Ji Yebai reached out and tapped lightly over his heart.
Immediately, a wisp of crimson energy emerged.
This wisp of energy was very strange.
It was filled with an indescribable aura.
It was like something noble beyond words.
Crack!
With a shake of his finger, the energy wisp snapped instantly.
Ji Yebai frowned.
A sharp pain surged into his mind.
In just an instant, the aura around his body dropped slightly.
If a Xiantian Expert were here, they would likely be shocked.
Because Ji Yebai had directly severed a wisp of his own Divine Will.
Divine Will can be separated from the body and nurtured.
However, generally speaking, Divine Will cannot be separated from the body for too long, is extremely fragile, and is easily damaged.
At this moment, Ji Yebai had severed a wisp of Divine Will, letting it escape his control.
"I don't know if this will work!"
Ji Yebai rubbed the space between his eyebrows and flicked his finger.
A flash of crimson passed, and the energy wisp vanished from his hand.
"Cluck, cluck-cluck-cluck!"
The rooster in the low flower bushes immediately crowed loudly.
A wave of intense heat struck it all at once.
However, after some crowing, it tilted its head in confusion and looked at its back.
It seemed... fine?!
Ji Yebai saw this scene and smiled.
He turned around and lay back on the recliner.
The weather was beautiful, and the sun was bright.
The warm sunlight shining on him felt exceptionally comfortable.
Accompanied by a dull ache between his eyebrows, Ji Yebai fell asleep while basking in the sun.
The manor was quiet.
Cluck! Cluck-cluck-cluck!
A rooster with brilliant, colorful feathers walked out, head and tail held high.
It looked up at the reclining Ji Yebai and slowly approached with a swaggering gait.
Then, its steps suddenly turned, and it walked to the side.
It scratched at the soil beneath the flowers and plants, pecking at it from time to time.
The sun was blazing, illuminating the world brightly.
Under the sunlight, the rooster's brilliant, colorful feathers seemed to be coated in the most vibrant colors.
A faint luster flowed over them.
If a Martial Artist were here at this moment, they would likely be shocked speechless.
This rooster was actually drawing in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Although very weak, it was indeed genuinely drawing in Spiritual Qi.
Not only that.
The moment this weak Spiritual Qi entered the rooster's body, it transformed into Fire Spiritual Qi.
If there were a high-powered microscope at this moment, one could clearly see the flesh and blood inside the rooster being rapidly strengthened.
The next day.
The sun rose.
A clucking rooster leaped onto the flower bushes.
Only one night had passed.
The rooster's body size had expanded by one-tenth, and the brilliance on its body was even more dazzling.
Even now, at the transition between dawn and dusk when the world was dim, the rooster's entire body radiated a luster.
With a slight movement, flowing colors drifted.
The rooster had already changed its appearance.
Its wings were stronger, and the short tail behind it began to grow longer.
Its fire-red, brilliant feathers made it look quite heroic.
The sun rose, and the rooster strode forward with its head held high, looking extraordinarily heroic.
Its whole body was bathed in sunlight.
Its gaze was more spirited.
The third day.
The rooster's body size had grown rapidly and was already half a meter tall.
Whoosh!
With a whistle, the massive rooster flapped its wings and actually flew up.
Looking at it now, with its slender tail feathers, it resembled a red-bellied pheasant.
Its brilliant feathers were even more dazzling.
Putting everything else aside, just one glance was enough to let people know its extraordinary nature.
...
The fifth day.
Whoosh!
A whistling sound.
The wind picked up, causing dust to fill the air on the ground, and the flower bushes in the manor toppled over one after another.
A massive black shadow swept across the sky.
From afar, it looked like a ball of crimson Phoenix.
"In just five short days, it actually evolved to this extent!?"
Ji Yebai slowly opened his eyes, a thoughtful look in them.
He had severed a wisp of his own Divine Will and injected it into the rooster's body.
Even a wisp of Divine Will possessed the basic abilities of Divine Will.
This wisp of Divine Will had actually begun to grow on its own.
And during its growth, it completely absorbed the rooster's consciousness.
Not only that.
This wisp of Divine Will, which had occupied the rooster's consciousness, had actually begun to guide Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, accelerating the rooster's evolution.
Once able to absorb Spiritual Qi, a wild beast would evolve into a Vicious Beast.
As everyone knows, the limit of a Vicious Beast is only the Peak of a Second-rate Martial Artist.
Without being able to give birth to Divine Will, there could be no qualitative change.
The consciousness of a Vicious Beast is chaotic, and even if its will is strong, it cannot change its essential chaos.
This is also the restriction they cannot break through.
But all of this had actually not happened to this rooster.
"By using that wisp of Divine Will as the core, it actually bypassed the restriction of the Vicious Beast's chaotic consciousness!?"
Ji Yebai's expression was surprised.
For these few days, he had been observing.
Ever since the rooster started to change, he hadn't relaxed.
Until today.
The rooster was about to step into the Realm of a Second-rate Martial Artist.
Ji Yebai slowly stood up.
He raised his hand and beckoned.
A great force tore through the air.
The rooster was flying leisurely, flapping its wings.
This was the most glorious moment of its life.
It thoroughly enjoyed this feeling of freedom.
However.
It would be even better if there wasn't that layer of transparent film.
That film was always in the way whenever it wanted to leave the manor.
Just as the rooster was leisurely flapping its wings.
A huge suction force came.
"Cluck?!"
The rooster suddenly plummeted.
"Cluck, cluck-cluck-cluck..."
A series of flutters.
But it was all to no avail.
Ji Yebai flicked his finger.
Thump!
A pebble immediately pierced through the rooster's head.
The massive rooster's body stiffened and then went limp as it fell.
Ji Yebai was expressionless and reached out to beckon.
A wisp of crimson light emerged from the rooster's body, and the next moment, it shot directly into Ji Yebai's hand.
Ji Yebai's body shuddered suddenly.
The wisp of Divine Will struck into his heart.
The Vermilion Bird of Fire in his heart immediately opened its eyes.
Its massive Phoenix head pecked once, swallowing the incoming red light directly into its belly.
"The Divine Will has indeed increased by a wisp!"
Ji Yebai felt the changes inside his body and opened his eyes.
This wisp of Divine Will had indeed grown, and not only that.
His Divine Sense had also increased.
However, this growth was very slow.
Normally, Ji Yebai's Divine Sense would increase by one ten-thousandth daily, so this return of the Divine Will gave Ji Yebai an extra one ten-thousandth.
Besides that, a kind of epiphany about life evolution came over him.
However, this epiphany was very shallow.
"What I have comprehended is the Five Elements Divine Will, which generates and restrains each other; therefore, this additionally brought-back Divine Will, the excess part will first convert into the other Divine Wills, and only then will it jointly increase my Divine Sense..."
Ji Yebai pondered.
To truly achieve a great Breakthrough, it is best to increase the five Divine Wills simultaneously; increasing only one Divine Will separately will result in some loss during the conversion process.
"In that case, this cultivation method is truly feasible!"
A strange look flashed in Ji Yebai's eyes.
