271 Danger Is Approaching, My Spiritual Power Will Be Sucked Dry
As Ye Xuan dripped his blood essence into the cultivation method, Shen Changling asked curiously, “Speaking of which, I’ve never seen what a divine-grade cultivation technique looks like.”
Although the Sword Sect had a partial divine-grade cultivation technique, he hadn’t started to learn it. His realm and strength weren’t enough. If he rashly cultivated it, he would only be injured by the sword Qi of the cultivation technique, which might even affect his foundation.
“Master, do you think Elder Ye can succeed?”
Mo Jianming couldn’t make up his mind on this point. “Even if it can be activated, it doesn’t mean he can cultivate it smoothly. After all, the higher the level of the cultivation technique, the more stringent the cultivation conditions are.”
Take the partial divine-grade cultivation method of the Sword Sect as an example. It not only required cultivation but also required the comprehension of sword intent. Only those with a unique understanding of the sword technique could understand its meaning.
After listening to Mo Jianming’s explanation, Shen Changling nodded. “No wonder. I knew that you were not a petty person. You would not hide a partial divine-grade cultivation technique and not let me cultivate it.”
Mo Jianming said grumpily, “Do you think it’s that easy to cultivate a partial divine-grade cultivation technique? Not to mention, it’s a powerful attack-type spell technique. If you’re not careful, you’ll be in danger of your soul being destroyed.”
If a partial divine-grade cultivation technique was already so powerful, then there was no need to mention a divine-grade cultivation technique.
Shen Changling couldn’t help but worry. “If that’s the case, isn’t Elder Ye in great danger?”
There was danger, but misfortune might be a blessing in disguise. If Ye Xuan could cultivate this divine-grade cultivation technique, it could be said that he had reached the top in a single step.
Just as the two of them were chatting, a sudden change occurred.
Ye Xuan’s blood essence was entirely absorbed by the cultivation method. There was a flash of light in an instant, and countless white threads were released from the cultivation method and fell on his body.
Those threads seemed to have a life force flowing through his meridians. Ye Xuan could feel that he had established some connection with this technique as if a brand new door was slowly opening in front of him.
“Could it be that I’ve successfully opened it?”
Ye Xuan didn’t expect it to be easy, but in the next second, all the spiritual energy in his body reversed and was absorbed by these threads!
Due to the absorption of the spiritual energy, the transparent silk threads were now shimmering with a faint golden light. Then, they were fed back into the technique, shedding the ordinary appearance of the divine-grade technique and finally revealing a mysterious corner.
Like a sealed giant beast from prehistoric times, it devoured Ye Xuan’s spiritual power like a whale, like a bottomless pit.
Ye Xuan frowned. He wanted to cut off the connection, but because of the drop of blood essence, it was as if some contract had been reached. He could no longer control it and was forced to absorb everything.
Soon, Mo Jianming and Shen Changling also noticed his abnormality.
“Wait! What’s going on with this spiritual energy? Why is it suddenly going berserk?”
Mo Jianming focused his eyes and saw Ye Xuan’s entire body’s spiritual power wrapped in white silk threads. This was not his voluntary action at all. He quickly understood the reason behind it and immediately turned pale with fright.
“This is bad. This cultivation technique has absorbed his spiritual energy.”
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before Ye Xuan would die from the exhaustion of spiritual energy. Even if he didn’t die, he would lose half of his life.
Mo Jianming quickly decided. Ye Xuan had already reached a critical moment.
If an outsider interfered, not only would he fail on the verge of success, but it would also be easy for him to go berserk. However, life and death were in front of him so he couldn’t think much. He had to save the person first.
Whoosh!
The sharp sword Qi drew a sharp arc in the air. It was so fast that one could vaguely see the sparks at the end of the sword. With a thunderous momentum, it headed toward the white silk threads.
Those white silk threads looked weak like they would break with a touch. Unexpectedly, when the tip of the sword touched them, there seemed to be an inexplicable obstruction. Mo Jianming was unable to move even half a step forward. It was indestructible to the extreme.
It was as if an invisible force wrapped Ye Xuan and this technique together. No one could step in, nor could they interfere with what was happening.
“Step back a little.”
Seeing things were getting more serious, Shen Changling could only listen to Mo Jianming’s orders, even though he was anxious.
Mo Jianming’s expression changed slightly, and the cold sword in his hand split into two, slashing out countless sword Qi, almost crushing the air.
The violent sword Qi was like a hot knife through butter. This time, it was even more menacing as it approached the white silk thread. The sound of metal clashing could be heard.
This move was extremely powerful and destructive. However, a golden light rippled out from the cultivation method, setting off a huge wave half the height of a man and devouring everything in the blink of an eye.
The strength that Mo Jianming used was returned in the hundreds and thousands. He subconsciously took a step back and formed a seal with his hands, opening up a protective shield. Even so, he was still hit by a lot of the remaining force.
Shen Changling quickly supported him. “Master, are you alright?”
Mo Jianming only felt his thumb and forefinger go numb. He shook his head and said with an unsightly expression, “I’m fine. A divine-grade cultivation technique is indeed worthy of its reputation. Just opening it is already so dangerous.”
Now, more white threads surrounded Ye Xuan, almost wrapping him up into a huge white cocoon. It was clear that the connection between the two was even deeper.
A vast amount of spiritual power surrounded the cultivation technique, and at the same time, it released more white threads.
If he didn’t stop it now, no one would be able to separate Ye Xuan from the white silk unless the white silk absorbed enough spiritual power and retreated from Ye Xuan.
But in that case, Ye Xuan would die without a doubt. Even if he managed to keep his life, he probably wouldn’t have a good end.
Mo Jianming sighed, “I can’t cut off their connection now.”
Shen Changling’s expression changed. “What should we do now? Are we going to let it absorb his spiritual power like this? Wouldn’t it be…”
