Chapter 49: A glimmer of hope

Not only speed but there was not even a single bit of the pain while circulating the fire elements in his body.

The pain for circulating the first rotation of the 'Blazing sun sutra' was only a little yesterday; however, today, there was no pain at all which made Henrick think about something.

'Is it because of reaching stage 1 in the body cleansing realm?' This was the only possibility that Henrick could think about in his present situation.

'Speed of the fire element is increased, pain while circulating the cultivation technique becomes zero for the first rotation of the day, then is it possible to increase the number of daily rotations of the 'Blazing sun sutra'?'

When he thought about this possibility, Henrick became excited and hopeful about the daily missions.

'I only need two additional circulations which will give me an additional 2 percent of the pure internal energy. With that, I can complete all my daily missions,'

Soon, Henrick decided to test it and without wasting any time, he started rotating his cultivation technique to increase the pure internal fire energy.

'A little painful,'

While circulating for the second time, Henrick silently muttered to himself as he continued to rotate the 'Blazing sun sutra' and started increasing his pure internal fire energy by one percent.

Soon, he repeated the same process for another three times and increased the pure internal fire energy in his dantian by three percent.

"The fifth time, the pain increased so much; however, I was able to endure it without any problem," Henrick talked to himself as he thought about his experience of pain for his last three circulations of the cultivation technique.

"But one thing is sure, I may be able to endure the sixth time circulation of the cultivation technique; however, seventh time is impossible,"

With each time the pain was doubled and by the time he was rotating the fifth time, it reached a great level; however, he thought he could do another rotation.

But after that, he felt his veins would be completely burnt.

'Nevermind. If I miss the daily missions today, I can try for the next day's daily mission,'

Soon, Henick consoled himself and as continued, "What I need to do now is to increase my pain resistance and try to convert as many as fire elements into pure internal fire energy."

With that thought in his mind, he took a deep breath and proceeded for the sixth rotation which was greater than yesterday's rotation.

'Aargh'

As soon as he started the sixth circulation of the cultivation technique, the pain was almost unbearable to him and groaned in pain.

'No, I can't stop here. I need to complete this rotation and then I will have hope to complete another rotation after my second refinement,'

While gritting his teeth, Henrick thought in his head.

Even though the possibility of rotating the seventh rotation was very little, he wanted to try it and if he became successful in that, then he could complete his daily mission.

'Yes, I can do it,'

'I can do it,'

He continued to motivate himself as he circulated the sixth time.

By the time he completed half of his rotation, he was completely covered in sweat and his eyes became completely red. From a look, anyone could say how much pain he was enduring.

Still, he didn't stop the fire elements in his veins as he forced himself and moved them to his dantian and started rotating them in his dantian to convert the normal internal fire energy into pure internal fire energy.

'Ding,

Dantian:- 8 percent of pure internal fire energy.

As soon as the pure internal fire energy had formed in his dantian, he received a system notification about his pure internal fire energy.

'Phew'

Henrick didn't carefully check the system notification because he knew how much pure internal fire energy was inside his dantian and heaved a sigh of relief while gasping for air.

'I did it'

Henrick clenched his fists as he became excited and relaxed for some time.

'Looks like Spark is having some good dreams,'

While relaxing, Henrick noticed a happy face on the sleeping baby fire monkey and revealed a smile.

'Time to start the refining process,'

After relaxing for some time, Henrick excitedly proceeded to refine his hands and legs.

...

In Nick's cultivation abode,

When Henrick was refining his hands and legs for the second tie, Nick was gritting his teeth and refined his body.

'Phew...finally endured the pain and successfully refined my mental sea. With this, I have successfully reached stage 2 in the body cleansing realm,'

Nick, the other disciple of the sect leader Gamos, heaved a sigh of relief after reaching stage 2 in the body cleansing realm.

He had endured a great deal of scorching pain to reach stage 2. So, he was excited as he stood up and went to take a bath in the hot water.

"Where is the master? He said he will come early today," While moving to the small pond, Nick talked to himself.

"Moreover, I am bored to hell by staying in the cultivation abode,"

Henrick was not the only one to be restricted by the sect leader Gamos. Nick also had received a task of reaching the muscle strengthening realm.

Until he reached the muscle strengthening realm, he could not leave his cultivation abode.

Soon, he freshened up in the small hot water pond and started increasing this internal fire energy.

...…

In the sect leader Gamos' cultivation abode,

'Sealing the ancient fire demon bloodline is much more difficult than I thought,'

Just like Henrick and Nick, the sect leader Gamos also secluded himself in his cultivation abode and searched the ways to temporarily seal Henrick's bloodline.

However, even after searching the old tattered book for an entire night, he didn't find an exact method to seal Henrick's bloodline and muttered that it was harder than he that.

'Anyway, I need to check on Nick's and Henrick's progress in their cultivation,' Soon, he kept away the tattered old book and walked out of his cultivation abode.
