Chapter 189: Abnormal Irrational Cultivation

Chapter 189: Abnormal Irrational Cultivation

Regardless of the ominous presence inside my Virus Qi Core, I still proceeded to cultivate it along with my other Qi Cores. If something were to come out of it in the near future then that's when I'll think about it. Right now, I don't have any breather to ask pointless questions such as where did I get this mysterious power? Why is it here? Is this a byproduct of my cultivation?

It's in my body so even if I were to ask all that, there's no way I could get rid of it while I"m still in the System's consciousness. That's why the best approach towards this thing right now is to do what I do best: to cultivate.

Upon sensing my Qi Cores in place, I decided to use my Qi Control Skill and my Blood Control Skill to unify the Qi Energy Flow in my body. I didn't even have to ask for the System's approval since I'm basically in her brain right now. All that I had to do is think about a certain skill I want to activate and it would activate just like that. For a moment, I thought that being the System must feel so boring. You just stay here and have your body do all the work for you. Well, that's how I genuinely feel about it. When it comes to the System, however, I have no idea what comes and goes in her mind while staying in this cold, white, and empty place.

I shook my head as I tried to focus more on my cultivation. I say I shook my head but that was just a statement. I can't really see my body right now so let's just say I shook my head in imagination.

Still, Hui-ying and the System weren't lying when they said that my Virus Qi Core would drastically improve in its cultivation. I could feel the heaviness of that power in me and somehow, I feel pain all over my body. If my consciousness were in my body right now, I wouldn't have been able to handle the pain I'm currently going through. The System really thought things through when she brought me into her consciousness. Not only did it increase my efficiency of cultivation, it also allowed me to dodge the pain that I feel while absorbing the Qi Energy in the surroundings. Seriously, if it weren't for the two of them, I would've been dead meat by now.

My Virus Qi Core enlarged quite considerably, roughly three or four times larger than my other Qi Cores. Because of that, I decided to cultivate all my other Qi Cores, trying to balance out the difference in power amongst them and the Virus Qi Core. I'm well aware that a single imbalance in the Qi Energy Flow in the body would result in instant death and I've seen more than a handful of cultivators go through that painful trial... only to die in the end. Now that I have five Qi Cores inside my body, the chance of this happening is probably more than fifty percent. That's why while I still have the time, I should balance all my Qi Cores as much as possible.

Cultivating a massive amount of Qi Energy while balancing the enlargement of my Qi Cores is an almost impossible feat. But with Hui-ying and the System lending me a hand, the process was difficult but doable.

"Yongrui, we're almost done absorbing the Qi Energy in the surroundings. Your Virus Qi Core may be unstable right now but with its size, it can revive what little Original Qi Core you have left. Just give us a few more minutes and you'll be able to regain your consciousness." Hui-ying spoke in my head... wait, no, she isn't speaking in my head. Where is she speaking?

That's weird.

"Sure, thanks a lot for your help. In the meantime, I'll try my best to balance out all my other Qi Cores. Let me know if something comes up."

Before Hui-ying could respond, I continued on with my cultivation. After Hui-ying said that, I was filled with determination. If I were to succeed in balancing my Qi Cores, then I'd be able to wake up earlier. And if that were to happen, I'll finally meet Natalia face to face. Well, I've met her face-to-face but I haven't seen her completely recovered self. If she were really back to being a human, then that means she will look two or three times more alluring and charming than she already was back when she was a rabid human.

What am I saying? That came out weird and it sounded wrong at the same time. I should stop thinking about the chicks before the eggs are hatched. Right now, our priority is cultivation, then after that, we have to regain consciousness... and then it's all downhill from there.

With everything that I've experienced in the past, my cultivation techniques were honed to a terrifying degree, giving me the capabilities to do complicated cultivations simultaneously. If a normal cultivator were to see me right now, he or she may think that I'm a monster, cultivating five Qi Cores at once. Some might even think I'm crazy upon seeing the small portion of my Original Qi Core, some might think I was suicidal, and heck, some might even wonder why someone as crazy as me could be so talented.

The fact is, what I'm doing right now is so out-of-this-world that even the cultivators beyond Transcendence Realm might even find it a joke.

With this thought in my mind, I carried on with my cultivation. Deep inside, I was hoping that someone would help me but then again, if someone were to see me, then they might faint from shock by how unorthodox my cultivation was.

Then... I remembered Natalia.

"You're right with what you're thinking, Yongrui." Hui-ying seemed to be reading my mind since she responded a split second after Natalia came to mind. "Right now, she's staring at you as if she saw someone crazy. Her eyes are wide with shock and her hands are trembling. By the looks of it, she's panicking. She had already blanketed you with her Qi Core to try to stabilize your cultivation but right now, she's at the end of her rope. She probably couldn't explain why you have five Qi Cores in your body. And yes, she hasn't spoken a word ever since. That's why I don't know what she's thinking."

"Well, that's good news. At least I wouldn't have to tell her everything when I wake up. I'll just explain the details to her or something. Upon witnessing it firsthand, do you think she will get used to it or not? Does she really look frightened?" I was concerned by how Natalia viewed me. If she were to see me as a monster, then I don't know if I'll be able to recover from the shock.

I mean, she wouldn't go as far as to label me as a monster when I was the sole reason that she's back to being a human, right? She's not that heartless, right?

In retrospect... sigh~ well, she was the one who bit me in the neck and I was stupid enough to make her bite my neck. I mean, I know she likes me but she was never aggressive enough to make a move. And the busy Sect Master that I am, I never had the time to take her out on a date or have some alone time with her. And if I did have the time, my other disciples would think that I'm playing favorites. Honestly, it was already game over when I became the Sect Master. And I was dense enough to not even notice their moves.

But now! Everything is different! I've been given a second chance, courtesy to Hui-ying and the System, and I've grown much stronger than I previously was. Nothing is supposed to go wrong and yet right now... right now Natalia is probably perceiving me as a monster rather than her previous Sect Master.

Sigh~ such is the way of life, too unstable like a reed by the riverside.

"Earth to Yongrui, stop with your drama and poems, we're almost done. You'll be awake in a few seconds." Hui-ying snapped me back to reality. "The moment you wake up, you have to continue cultivating until your agitated Qi Cores are back to normal. As soon as we wake them up from their hibernating stage, they'll become agitated. The pain might be a bit uncomfortable but just be grateful it's not excruciatingly agonizing."

"Sure, I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for your help as always, Hui-ying, System."

I could've sworn that I felt them nod in front of me. Must be just my imagination.

In a flash, the white enclosed space where I was in suddenly disappeared from my eyes. A blink later, I was back to the real world, face-to-face with Natalia. I was about to say my greetings when my Qi Cores started acting up again. It's just like a stroke attack but ten times more painful.

"H " I clenched my fists and my stomach as I rolled to the ground. I wasn't even able to utter a single hello.

'Calm down Yongrui, this is this and that is that. You have to get through this first!' I gave myself a little bit of a pep talk but it didn't help at all. The pain was still there and it aggravated by the second.

To Natalia... I probably look like someone having a terrible stomachache since I was writhing on the ground while clutching my stomach.

How mortifying.
