Chapter 419: Removing the Seals

As Xue Wei returned to the courtyard, he found that Luoluo and Lin Xiao had already changed the futons and the blankets. Everything was new and fresh, even all the windows were open, allowing for a fresh air breeze to pass through, bringing with it new life.

There were enough rooms for all of them, and they each found a room to settle in. After getting comfortable, they began cultivating their inner energies.

Xue Wei still had the nine seals on his body, so he needed a longer time to have another breakthrough.

Although he was aware of this, he was not upset. He knew that the purity of the Qi that roamed through his body was much purer than that of others, and that because of it he was able to have sturdier foundations, making it possible for him to reach higher realms further in the future.

Xue Wei cultivated for a few hours before he woke up from the trance. He flipped his hands, and a two-colored rainbow pill appeared in his palm.

Looking at the pill, a complicated gleam appeared in Xue Wei's eyes. These rainbow-colored pills were immensely hard to create as the resources needed were simply too many, but due to his luck, he had managed to get his hands on quite a few of them.

The only problem was when he ate it; he did not know what it would strengthen. He wanted to use one and see if it could help his Qi advance, but what if it went to assist his Spiritual Energy, or his physique instead?

Taking a deep breath, he knew that he should not be impatient; even if the pill assisted his Spiritual Energy, then it would not be wasted.

The only option he did not want coming up was the strengthening of his physique. His body was already as strong as it could be at this current point in time. He was an azure dragon and a vermilion bird. He had eaten many rare herbs, and consumed many one and two-colored rainbow pills, throughout the time that he had been able to refine them.

Currently, his strength was at the third layer Earth Saint, but he was aware that the reason he had reached this strength so fast was due to the blessing he had gotten from Hui Yue.

Xue Wei was looking at his body. The nine seals in his body had become useless by now, as the Ancestral Worldpower of Hui Yue had caused his foundations to become rock solid. Even if he were to release the nine seals, it would bring no harm to him.

But he was unsure. Should he release them now, for the sake of cultivating faster, or should he release them during a battle; to keep them as an extra trump card up his sleeves?

Thinking about it, he could not see a reason to keep the seals. Although it was beneficial to be underrated, it did not lose out to the fact that he could get a much faster advance in cultivation. Currently, the seals were useless, so if he kept them on, he would just delay his cultivation.

Thinking like this, he took a deep breath. He remembered just how painful it was for him to brand the seals onto himself, so he could not imagine it being less painless to remove them again.

He found the first seal, and with his spiritual energy and Qi, he began to loosen it. The feeling was as if someone took a knife and slowly began slicing off some of his flesh. The feeling was excruciatingly painful, but he could not give up just yet.

This was merely the first of nine seals.

Xue Wei slowly but surely removed every trace of the first seal on his body. Ever since he had been remodeled by the Ancestral Worldpower, he knew that he did not need the seals any longer, but it was not before now that he finally had the time to remove them altogether.

The entire night was spent in heart wrenching agony as Xue Wei tried his best to withstand the pain. The seals were being carved off, one after the other, and while he was feeling the intense pain, he was also smiling like a madman.

With each removed seal, his strength had a breakthrough. By the time the sun rose in the sky and shined its light over the crimson horizon, Xue Wei had removed the final seal on his body, and he had become a one layered Sky Saint.

The strength that he commanded had risen drastically, but because of the Ancestral Worldpower that was lying dormant in his dantian, his body was still sturdy, and his foundations solid.

Xue Wei could not help but smile slightly. He felt that it was quite ironic. He had struggled so long to be able to advance, but the moment Hui Yue appeared, his cultivation base had risen like a shooting star.

He finally understood that the peak experts of the world were able to create geniuses if they wanted to, but they did not do so. If Hui Yue had gifted this Ancestral Worldpower to an average figure, that figure would have become a world-class genius that not many could challenge.

But the Ancestral Worldpower had been given to him instead. It was his now, and his strength had soared. His potential had been ignited, and his body had been reshaped.

He was a brand new Xue Wei, and he understood that he was now much stronger than before.

Now he was fully deserving of the title of a genius.

Smiling slightly, Xue Wei tried standing up, only to find that his entire body was stiff from enduring the pain all night. Thinking about it, he also realized that his mind was fatigued. Although he had prevailed through the agonizing pain, he had used a lot of energy. Now he needed to sleep in order to restore his mind.
