Chapter 537 - 235: Inside the Body
’At any rate... I’ve survived for now.’
’So I have to keep on living!’
’First, I need to recover. My body... is in terrible shape.’
Qin Fang’s expression was grim.
After that whole ordeal, his body was on the verge of collapse.
His True Essence was depleted, and all his True Essence Pills were gone.
He didn’t even have enough True Essence to sustain his protective Abyss Water Armor.
He had to recover his strength as quickly as possible...
...even if, once recovered, he would still be nothing but an ant before the giant fish.
But an ant that could ’fly’ still had a sliver more hope of survival than a ’broken-winged’ one.
He closed his eyes, his lips pressed into a thin line.
’...Can I absorb the Primordial Power inside this giant fish?’
He wondered apprehensively.
He began to carefully circulate the little True Essence he had left, trying to absorb the Primordial Power within the great fish...
The moment he took a ’mouthful,’ his Spirit jolted, and a shocked expression spread across his face...
’Such pure Ultimate Yin Primordial Power... It’s even purer than what I found thirty meters deep in the Cold Cave!’
’And... it’s not violent at all!’
’I can practically devour it at will!’
This was undoubtedly good news.
Qin Fang immediately let go of his inhibitions and began to frantically absorb the Ultimate Yin Primordial Power here!
The purity of this Primordial Power was even higher than what he could refine himself!
As long as he absorbed it, he could use it!
It was even starting to further enhance his Profound Nether Nature!
’...Is this what they call a blessing in disguise?’
Qin Fang didn’t know what to feel... except that the whole situation was completely fucked up.
’If... I have enough time, maybe I can condense my Gang right here...’
A hint of madness appeared in Qin Fang’s eyes.
After Condensing Gang, his strength would inevitably take a huge leap forward!
Though he certainly wouldn’t be a match for the great fish... his chances of survival would still be countless times better than they were now!
He looked at his status panel... On it, the progress for his Profound Nether True Water Scripture was at Great Success 3459.
He was nearly halfway to Perfection!
He hesitated no longer, closing his eyes and beginning to frantically absorb and circulate the power.
As the pure Primordial Power entered his body, he furiously operated the Third Level Technique, further compressing and refining this True Essence, pushing it toward becoming True Gang...
Time passed, bit by bit.
Without the Divine Summoning Hourglass, Qin Fang completely lost his sense of time.
He only knew that every so often, he was forced to pause... because a tremendous roar would explode in his ears, and the entire world would transform into a place ravaged by Gang Wind.
...Fortunately, Qin Fang suspected this was most likely the great fish’s respiratory organ, so he remained cautious and didn’t dare to recklessly devour the Primordial Qi.
After all, perhaps the great fish no longer needed to breathe, but its biological instincts would still compel it to do so unconsciously.
It was like how Qin Fang himself no longer needed to breathe... but he would still subconsciously take a deep breath when his Spirit was tense, and let out a light exhale when he was relaxed...
This was a creature’s subconscious instinct.
...Unless, of course, this great fish hadn’t needed to breathe since the day it was born.
But that was clearly impossible... otherwise, its body wouldn’t have developed an organ like a ’blowhole.’
...It was very likely that it, too, had evolved step by step from a weak creature into the colossal, tyrannical being it was today.
Therefore, when fighting a powerful opponent, it would certainly quicken its breathing rhythm unconsciously.
Qin Fang had no desire to accidentally inhale some rampaging True Essence and be done for.
...He had gone through so much trouble to escape into the great fish’s body and find a moment of peace; he couldn’t let it all be for nothing over something like this.
...The great fish was constantly rolling and thrashing, which Qin Fang could feel... At times, the entire world would even spin upside down.
It was clear its confrontation with the Golden Light was still ongoing.
As for Qin Fang, aside from the periodic appearance of the Gang Wind, he felt nothing else.
And thanks to the pure Ultimate Yin Primordial Qi inside the great fish, Qin Fang quickly recovered his Vitality.
Even his physical injuries were healing under the nourishment of ’Primordial Essence.’
And this ’Primordial Essence’ was what the Ultimate Yin Primordial Power became after being refined through the Kidney Palace.
It was everywhere here, and gathering it was effortless.
He didn’t know how much time had passed... The occasional world-spinning tumbles and the influx of Gang Wind were a bit troublesome, but everything else was fine.
Finally, on this day, Qin Fang made a full recovery...
His body, his True Essence...
Now, his True Essence had undergone another immense change compared to before.
Its density far surpassed what it was when he first entered.
At the same time, his proficiency level was continuously climbing.
He didn’t know the time, but he could see his proficiency increasing.
From four thousand, to five thousand, to six thousand, to seven thousand...
’It must have been over half a year, right?’
Qin Fang’s lips were pressed tight.
But judging by the fact that the great fish was still occasionally thrashing about, its confrontation with the Golden Light was still ongoing... However... the fish’s stamina must have been greatly depleted over the past half-year.
So much so that the frequency of its rolling began to slow down.
But correspondingly, the Gang Wind began to appear more frequently.
’...Is this the equivalent of a human’s rapid breathing?’
In the end, it even reached a point where Qin Fang could no longer cultivate in peace...
The violent Gang Wind was now constant, and the churning forces within grew just as frenzied.
Although Qin Fang could still absorb this level of violent Primordial Power... it affected his efficiency, after all.
Qin Fang waited for a while and found that the great fish seemed capable of holding on for a long time yet.
He thought for a moment before finally making a difficult decision...
...He had to leave this ’Meat Cave’ and find another place to cultivate.
Since the crisis wouldn’t resolve itself, he had to improve his own ability to deal with the unexpected.
Condensing Gang was his only hope now.
Having made his decision, Qin Fang would not waver. He floated up and began to head deeper inside.
He then saw that within this ’mountain of flesh,’ there were numerous channels, some wide, some narrow. An incredibly violent Gang Wind surged through them, rushing into each passage.
Qin Fang thought for a moment, his gaze falling upon the widest channel.
He waited patiently.
When the direction of the Gang Wind shifted, blowing into the channel, he shot up abruptly. His body was swept up by the wind and propelled deep into the passage...
