Nana commanded Lan Xuanyu, “Start your attempt, I will protect you.”

“Alright,” Lan Xuanyu said as he nodded his head. His soul power was already in abundance, and he could attempt to break through at any time, but he had been suppressing it with great effort for quite a time.

With Nana by his side, protecting him, he felt extremely at ease. He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged as he moved the Soul Power within his body with the Mysterious Heaven Method at a slow pace. The emphasis on the revolutions was not fast, but stable. Under his control, the gentle Soul Power flowed through his limbs and bones. He controlled the path according to the Mysterious Heaven Method and moved the Soul Power higher and higher.

He absorbed all kinds of elemental molecules in the air into his body. The soul power, which was already at its peak, suddenly increased another level.

Nana stood by his side and quietly observed the changes in his body. She would immediately intervene at the first sign of danger.

His soul power had completed two cycles at this time. When the third cycle was in motion, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt as though his body had been shackled, and an indescribable pain surged through him. It was as though there was a shell around his body that prohibited him from growing.

His Spiritual Power suddenly surged out. By relying on his Spiritual Power, which was multiple times stronger than his Soul Power, his rank 19 Soul Power suddenly elevated to its peak.

All the pores on his body opened with a pop sound as a faint layer of white light gushed out from within. Lan Xuanyu felt his entire body get lighter as his Soul Power increased. The ‘shell’ had broken, and the Soul Power inside his body surged violently like a wild horse out of control. In that instance, he had circulated the Soul Power according to the Mysterious Heaven Method and completed more than three cycles.

Relaxation filled his body as a comfortable sensation filled his limbs and bones. He knew that he had completed the breakthrough and officially entered a new realm.

“Don’t go relaxing now, it is just beginning. Focus yourself,” Nana suddenly spoke up, causing Lan Xuanyu’s heart to feel a chill.

As expected, when Nana spoke those words, Lan Xuanyu instantly felt a burning and freezing sensation rising from his chest at the same time.

As he observed inside with rapt attention, he noticed the gold and silver vortex suddenly trembling unsteadily. His limbs and bones felt the same sensation growing simultaneously. He was also able to vaguely sense fine gold and silver energy flowing within his meridians and bones. They were as thin as threads, gently trembling and flowing as they merged into his Soul Power, gradually flowing through every corner of his body.

As the gold and silver energies wandered about in his Soul Power, they would unconsciously collide into one other. Every collision would immediately cause an intense undulation in his Soul Power. His meridians swelled while being stimulated as the sensation of being ripped apart spread throughout his entire body. It felt as though a thousand little blades had cut into him at the same time, causing Lan Xuanyu to perspire incessantly due to the pain that made him want to scream.

“Vortex,” Nana’s voice rang out to him again, but she did not make a move. It seemed as though she was trying to help Lan Xuanyu in a different way.

Vortex? Right! A vortex.

Lan Xuanyu immediately understood her advice and quickly gathered his focus onto the gold and silver vortex in his chest.

The vortex continued to tremble unsteadily, but since he had been cultivating both gold and silver energies for so long, the two contradicting energies within the vortex were no longer as intense and were rather harmonious. At that moment, the oscillations of the vortex increased under his controlled focus. He embedded his Soul Power within and ensured the stability of the vortex. At the same time, he began guiding the absorption of his Soul Power, absorbing the power of the gold and silver bloodlines that were produced.

He was using different means to obtain the same result! That was what the vortex was doing. As expected, the pain in his body gradually decreased along with the vortex absorption as more and more gold and silver energies also began converging at the vortex.

To Lan Xuanyu’s surprise, he discovered that the gold and silver energies surging from every corner of his body were actually endless. This was especially seen at his internal organs, which unleashed the most dual energies. At nearly every beat of his heart, a large quantity of gold and silver bloodline energy would flow out and quickly absorbed and supplemented into the gold and silver vortex.

The vortex was growing and enlarging at speeds visible to the naked eye. Furthermore, all the newly mixed gold and silver energy were not as gentle as the original energy. They began trembling incessantly, continuously attempting to eliminate the other party to hold supremacy.

Lan Xuanyu finally understood why Nana requested for him to be by her side when he broke to rank 20. He had fainted the first time his body was awoken, so even he was unclear of everything that happened. But at the moment, he was able to earnestly experience the changes in his body!

The sensation was too painful, the intense lacerations within his body prevented him from speaking, as well as the feeling of losing control over his own body. The gold and silver vortex continued to grow larger. At this point in time, Lan Xuanyu suspected that if this continued on, his body would eventually explode!

But it was already impossible to stop halfway, so much so that he was unable to even call out to Nana for help. He could only hold on and watch as the vortex grew larger and larger. The gold and silver energies became even more erratic and collided more and more in attempts to repel each other.

‘What should I do? What should I do?’

“Steady your emotions. Be void of sadness or joy.” Nana’s voice sounded out once more like enlightenment that cleansed Lan Xuanyu’s mind. ‘That’s right! Teacher Yin did mention it as well, to maintain a calm heart regardless of everything.’ At this moment, cultivating and piloting a space warship had no difference, losing his head out of fear would only result in losing complete control and dying. The only choice for him was to calm down and seek an opportunity to survive.

Lan Xuanyu quickly calmed himself down. Regardless of whether he was able to control everything that was occurring within his body, he had to try.

He controlled and increased the speed of the vortex revolution. Under the strong centrifugal force, the frequency of collisions between both energies lessened. At the same time, when he tried to inject his own Soul Power in, a thin layer of separation formed between the two energies. The layer prevented the two conflicting energies from colliding less often, and from then on, the number of times of collision dropped substantially.

After calming down, the situation turned for the better. Fewer collisions occurred as the vortex stabilized and became stronger and stronger.

But after breaking through to rank 20, he realized that the energy provided from the bloodlines within his body far exceeded what he thought as the vortex continued to grow larger and larger. Lan Xuanyu initially expected that the vortex would grow to the size of a fist, but it had already grown larger and almost filled up his entire chest.

Gradually, his body felt as though it could no longer tolerate it. His entire being started trembling incessantly. This was no longer something staying calm could help. All the silver and gold bloodline energy within his limbs and bones gradually merged into the vortex. Still, the revolutions grew too fast with the abundance of energy.

The current Lan Xuanyu felt that he was like a balloon, and it felt as if a single needle poke might cause him to explode.

“Xuanyu, merge your martial souls, I’m with you,” Nana’s voice suddenly sounded out again. Right at this time, a burst of coolness came down from the top of his head, causing his entire body to relax. It felt as though he had been absolved of all the pain––it was like the vortex within was no longer related to him.

He subconsciously opened his eyes, only to sense that the aura around his entire body had grown berserk.

“Quickly!” Nana’s anxious voice came out.
