Night of Despair

Chapter 514: Cultivation 512 Part 2

Every moment, old colonies of microorganisms die, and new ones are born.

With each new birth, wisps of gray smoke, extremely subtle, waft out and quickly disperse a few centimeters above the dumplings.

If not for his intense focus, Yu Hong wouldn’t be able to see this swiftly dispersing, delicate smoke.

Moreover, the minuteness of this smoke is exaggerated to the extent that it can’t be seen by the naked eye, unless one uses a high-power electron microscope combined with potent spiritual power to detect it carefully, only then might one barely perceive traces of it.

‘From appearance to disappearance, it only exists for two seconds; indeed, collecting Earth’s vitality is exceedingly challenging,’ Yu Hong mused.

The three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Human, categorize by difficulty, and the future developments and gains are vastly different.

He originally thought that with his current traits and body, which had been refined to a decent degree, he should be able to take the top-tier Heavenly Vitality route, but… it seems he’s still somewhat lacking.

But regardless, practice is necessary.

Carefully sensing those threads of vitality rising, Yu Hong operated the Inner Observation Diagram and the collection technique.

Immediately, the smoke of Earth’s vitality wafting from the dumplings slowly drifted, gathered into a beam, and then leisurely floated towards him.

Whoosh.

The smoke instantly merged into the void outside Yu Hong’s body, completely vanishing.

Still, Yu Hong could sense that strand of Earth’s vitality orbiting around him like a satellite, continuously rotating.

‘Success. The first thread of Earth’s vitality collected.’

He exhaled with relief and proceeded with the second collection.

It’s a task requiring time and patience, continuously collecting Earth’s vitality from the outside world, accumulating and expanding it, forming a heavenly river to orbit around, then refining and purifying it to absorb it into the body, thereby achieving his cultivation.

This is the fundamental principle of the Qingyuan Heavenly River Miao Technique.
