Chapter 560: 560

Chapter 560: Fortune and calamity comes together

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Liqiang slowly woke up!

When he opened his eyes, what appeared before him was strands of crystal that came down from the cave ceiling . They were like arrows that pointed at him as though they would shoot down at any time . Around his body was a soft flesh, he seemed to be laying on that huge water leech .

Yan Liqiang was shocked and instinctively jumped up from the ground .

This jump shocked Yan Liqiang again because he found that with this jump, he flew up from the ground and went 20 meters high in the air .

“oh, shit…” Yan Liqiang screamed and waved his hand in the air . But Yan Liqiang did practice martial arts and found his balance after a few rolls before steadily landing on the ground .

“crack…” when Yan Liqiang landed, he used force on the sturdy ground and stood at two 15cm deep footprints . The back of his feet sunk into the rock .

Was the ground made of sand?

Yan Liqiang looked down and rubbed his eyes . The ground wasn’t sand, it was a type of grey granite . How did he step in?

Yan Liqiang raised his foot and tried stepping down again . There was another crack . This time, Yan Liqiang used a little force and his foot sunk 30cm into the ground . Cracks stretched out from the hole he stood out .

Yan Liqiang dazed for a while and lifted his feet from the ditch . Then he looked at his hand, this… didn’t seem to be the ground’s fault but his… his body’s power had suddenly increased to a terrifying level .

Just on the ground next to Yan Liqiang, there were a few stalagmites . In order to verify his idea, Yan Liqiang reached out his hand and pinched the stalagmite . With just slight force, Yan Liqiang crushed it into two pieces .

What the fuck! What is this!

Yan Liqiang looked down and saw his tattered clothes . Then he looked around, this place seemed to be a big mountain cave . Not far from him was where he got up . Half of the leech’s body was on the ground and the other half was in the water .

The 20 meter long leech seemed to have shrunk . For some reason, the shining black body also turned a dull grey . The leech laid there not moving .

Yan Liqiang who was still struck with after fear dashed in a flurry of shadows and retreated 50 meters . He broke five water bucket sized stalagmite crystals and retreated to a higher ground drawing safe distance between the leech .

There was such huge change to his body . He felt like his power was like the seas and any move exploded out power like a volcano . This made Ye Mo feel he couldn’t completely control it .

Yan Liqiang focused his mind and internally glanced . With this, his heart started beating quickly again . His internal body had the feeling of completely being reborn . His blood qi was like dragons, essence was full . Compared to before, he was more than ten times powerful . Under the nourish of the qi, blood and essence, his entire body’s bones, muscles and meridians became very strong . His bones were like iron, his muscle fibers’ explosive power reached an unimaginable state . every time his heart beat, it made the blood flow like rivers in his vessel across his body . The meridian in which his vital qi ran through was many times wider . What shocked him even more was that under the skin of his chest in the middle dan tian region, there was a cauldron .

The lower dan tian qi sea’s cauldron was just qi cauldron . Infusing qi cauldron and cultivate vital qi, that was the marker of reaching a martial warrior . The cauldron in the middle dan tian was essence cauldron . It was also called essence sea . having an essence cauldron in the essence sea was a marker of reaching martial ancestor . At this time, as Yan Liqiang breathed, there was this mysterious chi that was drawn from the air and into the essence cauldron becoming a part of his own essence . Some of the essence spread in the essence sea and another partcontinued down into the qi cauldron turning into slivers of vital qi .

This was the power of martial ancestor masters . Through just breathing, they could extract powerful energy from the air and turn it into essence and turn essence into qi . During the process of cultivation, reaching martial ancestor was a huge milestone like ordinary people reaching martial warrior .

Martial warrior represented the beginning of cultivation, becoming strong . Martial master meant becoming a teacher and teaching others martial arts . Meanwhile, martial ancestor meant that you had the right to start your own sect . On White Silver Continent, this was the marker of becoming a powerful person . Yan Liqiang went back to Gan province two years ago and the reason he started an Archery Academy and not some God Arrow Sect was most because his cultivation wasn’t at martial ancestor level yet . No matter how powerful his archery skills were, if he suddenly started a sect, people would only laugh at him for being ignorant!

Yan Liqiang just remembered that before he lost his consciousness, there was a hot and cold energy coming into his body from the leech . It made him who was at martial grandmaster peak reach martial lord immediately . He didn’t expect that once he woke up, he had surpassed martial lord by many states and reached martial lord . The key about breaking through from martial lord to martial ancestor was cultivating essence and opening the essence sea in the middle dan tian and then condensing the essence cauldron . There was still martial knight and martial devil these two large states but he passed them strangely . Yan Liqiang was very confused…

Essence was the mother of qi and blood in the body . It was the source of life . after reaching martial lord, the most crucial part of cultivation was related to essence . usually, even the most talented martial lord master wouldn’t be able to reach martial ancestor and form the essence cauldron without decades of cultivation and gathering of essence…

Did he accidentally suck all of the leech’s essence over? That leech wanted to devour him but he devoured it instead? And now, he strangely reached martial ancestor .

Yan Liqiang looked at that leech far away and broke a stalagmite next to him . He hurled that sharp rock towards the leech .

His casual throw made the rock shoot out like a cannon and pierced that water leech creating a bowl sized hole .

The leech was like a pile of rotten flesh and didn’t move at all…

Yan Liqiang tried again and threw another rock . He found that the leech still didn’t move and the wounds didn’t close and heal…

The leech was…dead, or was it acting dead?

This water leech was very wise, Yan Liqiang had to be careful!

Yan Liqiang gulped some saliva and carefully walked next to the leech and tested a few times before finally making sure that it was dead!
