The crystal was against Ming Yi’s back, tucked inside his pocket.
“Hm?”
At almost the same moment, Lin Xiao also noticed something was wrong.
The spiritual energy in this underground laboratory was already very thin. Since a moment ago, he had almost been unable to sense it. Then he realized that all the spiritual energy was now being siphoned off by Ye Chen.
To be precise, it was the thing in Ye Chen’s pocket.
“What is it?”
Lin Xiao looked at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen then took out the crystal.
“This.”
It was at this moment that Ye Chen noticed the spiritual energy within the crystal seemed to have diminished considerably.
Meanwhile, Ming Yi, who had just finished his milk, had a rosy complexion.
“It’s this thing?”
Ye Chen’s eyes lit up.
“Let me see.”
Lin Xiao reached out and took the object from Ye Chen’s hand.
“Brother Xiao, this is what was left after those artificial humans outside exploded when they merged. I don’t know what it is, but it survived the explosion intact, so it might be something good, so I kept it. I just wanted to see if you knew what it was, Brother Xiao.”
Ye Chen quickly explained the origin of the crystal.
“Transparent, without impurities.”
Lin Xiao examined it in his hand. The next second, he felt a warm current flow from his hand into his body.
This sensation was all too familiar!
This was spiritual energy entering his body!
Was it being injected into his body from this thing?
Could it be that this crystal could store spiritual energy and inject it into one’s body, transforming it into innate true qi?
Not only that.
He discovered something else.
It not only transformed into innate true qi, but also contained a special power.
That power… it was like the dragon!
Roar!
A dragon’s cry emanated from his dantian. Then, the innate true qi in his dantian vibrated, and even the trace of divine power within him was stirred.
Finally, the special power within the crystal entered his dantian.
Roar!!
Another dragon’s cry, this one seeming to convey surprise!
Then he felt that the divine realm power within him had increased by one more point.
This… was it?!
Divine realm power?
No…
As a Ming Xin realm expert, he could discern that this crystal merely absorbed the meager spiritual energy from the air and then injected it into his body.
It was just a simple storage and transfer station…
So that means?
Lin Xiao suddenly realized a possibility.
When he cultivated according to his internal energy manual, he always transformed the spiritual energy he absorbed after entering the innate realm into innate true qi.
He hadn’t felt anything wrong before.
But now he understood!
The divine realm, its power was actually spiritual energy within the body!
No, spirit energy!
It was just that spiritual energy was too scarce now. The faint spiritual energy in the air, if transformed into spirit energy, would be like just now. His true qi was not very abundant, and in just a few seconds, his innate true qi had completely recovered. However, from this crystal, he had only absorbed a trace of spirit energy, as fine as a strand of hair.
So much spiritual energy had only transformed into such a small amount of spirit energy.
Yet, even this small amount of spirit energy had made the divine dragon within his body ecstatic.
This… was the gateway to the divine realm!
So that’s how it is…
He suddenly understood that the divine realm was not difficult; the difficulty lay in the spirit energy.
