Both grandfather and grandson simultaneously broke out in a sincere smile filled with hope and dreams for the future…
Suddenly!
In the midst of their joy, an unexpected change occurred—
During the most critical moment of recovery inside Grand Preceptor Li’s dantian, the entirely incompatible Spiritual Qi Jun Mo Xie previously injected suddenly broke free of the blue Qi’s constraints like a dragon that struggled free of its fetters. Lightning followed the stream of blue Qi and burst out from the Jade Sea Coral with irresistible force.
A wisp of exceptionally frantic and violent Qi streamed like a loose demon and enter Li Shang recently restored meridians, bashing sideways and colliding straight on, before squeezing like a hot knife through butter into his dantian that’s on the verge of a complete recovery!
Caught off guard, Li Shang only managed to feel an explosive rumble in his dantian as his complexion instantly became deathly pale. The nearly recovered dantian suddenly collapsed and broke apart like shattered porcelain. The cracks crisscrossed like tree roots and spread in all directions along his meridians…
Li Shang violently sprayed out a mouthful of blood; having lost consciousness sometime earlier, his limp body fell backward.
“Grandfather!” Li Youran cried out, confused and distraught.
At the same time that Li Shang collapsed, the Jade Sea Coral exploded into pieces without any warning under the intense reaction between the two types of Spiritual Qi. Li Youran had been extremely worried and had stretched himself over the Jade Sea Coral to examine his grandfather. The fragments directly exploded across his whole face; a blood-curdling scream, a bloody head, and a bloody face…
“What’s going on? Why? Why did this happen? Can anyone tell me what this is?! Ah… ” Li Youran couldn’t keep his poise as he howled up at the sky. At this moment, the typically peaceful and always steady Li Youran had a face contorted with fear, helplessness, anxiety, anger, and blood—looking much like a devil!
“Jade Sea Coral! The Jade Seal Coral was obviously working fine so why did it explode?! Master had promised! He had promised!” Li Youran tore at his hair, completely disregarding the grievous injuries to his face as if he had turned completely insane!
To be honest, even Jun Mo Xie himself did not know that such an accident would occur. He did not expect that the stream of Qi he had poured on a whim would achieve…such an excellent result! His original intention was only to make the Jade Sea Coral unusable since he could not stand Li Zhen’s face and nothing more.
Jun Mo Xie certainly didn’t anticipate that the mixture of his Spiritual Energy and the pure energy of this word would trigger a formidable explosive reaction not inferior to an I.E.D.*! This explosion utterly severed Grand Preceptor Li’s hope to restore his Xuan Qi. Even if a deity descended upon this world, he might not be able to restore Li Shang’s dantian! Not only that, the damage to Li Shang’s already feeble body was like adding hail to snow such that he’s almost at death’s door!
[I.E.D. is an abbreviation for an improvised explosive device. Jun Mo Xie has become a terrorist.]
This is like casually planting flowers but inadvertently growing a willow! He really did put in little effort and reaped massive gains!
