Chapter 54: The Dantian Anomaly

Jianchen had no idea what was happening to his body. He had already lost control over it and could not stop his body from absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. Sensing the terrifying speed at which his body was absorbing external spiritual energy, even with his iron will, he couldn't help but feel a wave of panic. If his body continued to absorb the elemental energy at this rate, it wouldn't be long before he would be burst to death by the overwhelming spiritual energy. What puzzled Jianchen the most was that he had no idea what was going on. Why would his dantian start absorbing elemental energy on its own, and at such a terrifying speed, which left him in shock.

With Jianchen at the center, the elemental energy within a few miles was rapidly converging towards him. The frenzied flow of elemental energy had formed a strong wind, howling wildly through the Kagas Academy, scattering leaves and stirring up dust and stones.

However, when such a vast amount of elemental energy entered Jianchen's dantian, it disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea, and the feared outcome did not occur. Seeing this, Jianchen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what had changed in his dantian, as long as he wasn't burst to death by the elemental energy, that was enough.

At the same time, on the top of the central tower of the academy, the face of the Kagas Academy's principal changed slightly, and he exclaimed, "What's happening? Why is the fluctuation of elemental energy so intense?" As soon as he spoke, his body turned into a blur, leaping out of the window and flying through the air at a terrifying speed. In an instant, he arrived in front of the dormitory where Jianchen was, staring intently at the direction of Jianchen's dormitory, his face a mix of confusion and bewilderment.

At this moment, a white figure shot over from a distance at an extremely fast speed, covering several hundred meters in less than a breath, and finally appeared behind the principal. The newcomer was a middle-aged man in a white robe, the vice-principal Bai En.

Not long after Bai En arrived, dozens of figures ran over from a distance, but they all quietly stopped behind Vice-Principal Bai En, their eyes fixed on the center of the elemental energy concentration.

They were all teachers at the academy, with considerable strength. At such a close distance, the intense fluctuation of elemental energy could not be hidden from them.

Bai En stared in surprise at the center of the elemental energy concentration, his face full of confusion. He asked, "Principal, what exactly is happening? Why is the elemental energy within a few miles converging here?"

The principal's expression was serious, but his eyes were blank. He said, "I don't know what's happening here. Let's go in and take a look."

With that, the principal led the way into the dormitory, followed by Vice-Principal Bai En.

"You all stay here. No one is allowed to enter."

Just as the group of teachers was about to follow, the principal's voice rang out. Hearing this, all the teachers stopped in their tracks, obediently standing still. No one dared to disobey the principal's order.

Soon, the principal and the vice-principal arrived at the center of the elemental energy concentration, which was right outside Jianchen's dormitory door.

Vice-Principal Bai En lightly tapped the door, and it shattered silently. As the door broke, the scene inside the dormitory came into view.

Jianchen was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes slightly closed, meditating. The vast amount of elemental energy around him was being absorbed into his body at a terrifying speed, forming a hazy, indistinct mist around him.

Seeing this, both the principal and the vice-principal were stunned speechless. They never expected that such a massive fluctuation in elemental energy was caused by someone meditating. What surprised them even more was the speed at which Jianchen was absorbing elemental energy, which was astonishing.

"It's Changyang Xiangtian. How is this possible? With his strength, how could he cause such a significant impact?" Vice-Principal Bai En was shocked, as if he had seen the most unbelievable scene in the world.

The principal's face was also filled with shock. His bright, deep eyes stared at Jianchen for a long time before he finally sighed, "This young man is extraordinary!"

Hearing this, Vice-Principal Bai En nodded, fully agreeing with the principal. In fact, he had long considered Jianchen to be extraordinary.

"Principal, what should we do now?" Vice-Principal Bai En asked.

"Wait!" The principal's mouth opened slightly, uttering just one word.

Then, the principal and the vice-principal stood quietly outside Jianchen's door, waiting for him to wake up. They did not enter the room or make any noise, afraid of disturbing Jianchen, who was deeply immersed in his meditation.

Jianchen was very clear about what was happening outside his dormitory, but at this moment, he could neither move nor speak, having completely lost control over his body. The fourth-stage demon core, originally the size of a fist, was shrinking visibly in his hand, now reduced to the size of a ping-pong ball.

All the energy and the vast amount of elemental energy absorbed from the outside disappeared into Jianchen's dantian, like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing any ripples.

Jianchen was also very puzzled and confused about the situation in his dantian, not understanding where all the elemental energy had gone.

Gradually, as time passed, the energy in the fourth-stage demon core in Jianchen's hand was completely absorbed and disappeared. In his dantian, a change finally occurred. Two points of light, one purple and one green, gradually appeared. As soon as these two points of light appeared, the speed at which Jianchen's dantian absorbed elemental energy suddenly increased to an even more terrifying rate. At this moment, it was not just the elemental energy within a few miles that was affected; when the two points of light appeared in Jianchen's dantian, the elemental energy within several dozen miles was also affected, converging towards him and entering his body through his pores, being absorbed by the two points of light in his dantian.

Due to the increased speed of absorbing elemental energy, a faint white mist, visible to the naked eye, had formed around Jianchen's body. In the mist composed entirely of elemental energy, Jianchen's body was barely visible, adding a mysterious aura to him.

The sudden increase in elemental energy was immediately noticed by the principal and the vice-principal, who were still waiting outside the door. They exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Now, the entire Kagas Academy was swept by a strong wind due to the elemental energy, but except for the teachers, all the students treated it as a normal breeze, which did not affect them.

The situation of Jianchen's dantian absorbing elemental energy continued for half a day before it finally ended. By then, the elemental energy within several dozen miles had been almost completely absorbed by Jianchen. In his dantian, in addition to a sword formed entirely of holy energy, two points of light, one purple and one green, had appeared. These points of light were very small, with a faint, flickering glow, as if they could extinguish at any moment.

Feeling the sudden appearance of the two points of light in his dantian, Jianchen's heart sank. This was the first time he had encountered a situation in his dantian that he could not control, and it was something he did not want to happen. However, he was certain that these two points of light were related to the uncontrolled absorption of elemental energy.

"Could these two points of light be formed entirely from the elemental energy absorbed just now?" Jianchen speculated. The vast amount of elemental energy that had flooded into his dantian and disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea was already very strange. After absorbing such a vast amount of elemental energy, the appearance of two points of light in his dantian made it easy for Jianchen to connect the dots.

However, what puzzled and worried Jianchen was what these two points of light were, what they were for, and whether their existence would be detrimental to him in the future. These were the issues that concerned him the most, especially the latter, which made him feel unsafe.

After a moment of hesitation, Jianchen finally tried to control the two points of light. However, after some attempts, his heart grew heavier. Although he could clearly "see" the two points of light through inner vision, whenever he tried to control them, he found that they were like illusions, and he could easily pass through them without being able to control them, as if they did not exist.

The dantian is a crucial place for every cultivator, and Jianchen did not want to see any uncontrollable situations in his dantian, as it could lead to fatal consequences at a critical moment.

"Ah, well, if it's a blessing, it's not a disaster; if it's a disaster, it can't be avoided. I've already died once, so why worry so much?" Soon, Jianchen let go of his concerns about the anomaly in his dantian. Since the situation was beyond his control, he could only accept it calmly.

Jianchen slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was calm. Although successfully advancing to the Saint realm was a cause for celebration, the uncontrollable situation in his dantian made it hard for him to feel happy.

As soon as Jianchen opened his eyes, the principal and Vice-Principal Bai En, who had been waiting outside, walked in.

Seeing the principal enter, Jianchen quickly got out of bed and bowed, saying, "Principal, Vice-Principal."

The principal's old face was full of smiles. He looked at Jianchen calmly and said with a smile, "Changyang Xiangtian, there was an abnormal fluctuation of elemental energy here just now. Did you encounter any problems in your cultivation? If so, feel free to speak up, and I'll see if I can help." The principal's tone was filled with concern.

"Thank you, Principal. I'm fine, and I didn't encounter any problems," Jianchen said calmly. He did not believe that the situation in his dantian was something the principal could resolve. It was better to keep quiet and avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
