Hao Ren was both shocked and furious.
The dantian was of utmost importance to a cultivator, the very foundation of their being.
Once a cultivator's dantian was compromised, their foundation would be ruined.
The consequences were severe.
Fuming, Hao Ren frantically checked the "True Demon Crystal," suspecting it to be the culprit.
Within Hao Ren's dantian, the greatest threat was the "Seventy-two Chaos True Demons," so his first instinct was to suspect them.
True Demon One: "Hey, hey, hey, you brat, don't wrongly accuse us, uh, wrongly accuse demons, I didn't do anything!"
True Demon Two: "Daddy, please believe in our loyalty to you, we would never want to kill you, possess your body, then throw your flesh into a cesspool for eternal infamy, and capture your soul into the Myriad Souls Banner, burning and refining it with Yin fire day and night, leaving you in a state worse than death..."
True Demon Three: "I don't know anything, I just came back to life!"
True Demon Four: "Shut up, you cross-dressing freak, we True Demons are all manly men, don't keep saying 'I, a woman' with every sentence, it tarnishes our True Demon reputation!"
True Demon Three: "Tch, what do you know, I'm a 'big bird cute girl,' the most popular type these days..."
...
Squabbling and chattering!
The noisy clamor of the True Demons, like a flock of "ducks" disturbed from their nest, echoed in Hao Ren's ears.
Hao Ren's head ached from their incessant noise!
"Silence!"
Hao Ren unleashed his divine sense, roaring within his dantian.
He lost his temper, and the Seventy-two Chaos True Demons, somewhat fearful, promptly shut up.
Hao Ren frowned in deep thought.
It seemed the drastic changes in his dantian were not caused by the Chaos True Demons. So, what was happening?
Just as Hao Ren was at a loss, a miraculous change occurred.
Hao Ren's dantian violently vibrated to its limit, and purple lightning suddenly appeared in the void.
The purple lightning tore through the air, as if splitting the heavens and earth.
After nine bolts of lightning, the vast dantian was on the verge of collapse.
Suddenly, a wisp of hazy True Essence surged from the very bottom of the dantian.
Yin-attribute True Essence!
Though merely a wisp, it was as heavy as a mountain, stabilizing the universe!
The violently vibrating dantian slowly stabilized.
That wisp of Yin-attribute True Essence slowly rose, merging with the mixed Five-element True Essence at the center of Hao Ren's dantian, forming a single mass of True Essence.
Upon fusion, the previously restless dantian became quiet, returning to its calm state.
Hao Ren's heart stirred, and he finally understood what had happened.
The earlier anomaly in his dantian was all due to the birth of "Yin-attribute True Essence."
"Yin-attribute True Essence" was an extremely rare type of True Essence, and its birth process was extraordinary.
Hao Ren activated his "divine sense" to examine the fused "Yin-attribute True Essence." He found it to be incredibly condensed, exceptionally dense, and extremely difficult to increase.
No wonder Han Mo, despite being a person of great destiny, had low cultivation. His "Innate Yin Spirit Root" offered no real advantage in cultivation!
Hao Ren wasn't overly worried about this.
It didn't matter, as he possessed the "Innate Lightning Spirit Root" and was the legendary "dual-wielding" cultivator. He already had a "pure lightning-attribute Foundation Establishment spiritual sea," and his true cultivation had reached the "early Foundation Establishment stage." Even if the "Yin-attribute True Essence" couldn't be cultivated later, it wouldn't affect his main cultivation.
However, he might be able to help Han Mo in the future.
Hao Ren activated his divine sense, intending to leave his dantian.
True Demon One: "Brat, have a good journey!"
True Demon Two: "Daddy, take your time, I'll miss you!"
True Demon Three: "Old man, come visit often!"
True Demon Four: "We are manly men..."
...
Seeing Hao Ren about to leave, the True Demons were delighted.
Hao Ren's heart stirred, and he used his divine sense to stay behind.
You want me to leave? Fine, I won't. I won't let you have your way.
Witnessing this, the "True Demon Crystal" trembled slightly, as if in fear, or perhaps in anger.
True Demon One: "What are you doing? Weren't you leaving? Get lost!"
True Demon Two: "Daddy, a true man sticks to his word, you can't be untrustworthy!"
True Demon Three: "Yamete!"
True Demon Four: "We are manly men!"
...
The incessant squabbling of the Seventy-two Chaos True Demons, like a flock of disturbed ducks, echoed in Hao Ren's ears.
Hao Ren sneered.
The earlier anomaly in my dantian put me in a foul mood. It's a perfect opportunity to vent on you!
Hao Ren's consciousness returned to his body, and he skillfully took out the "Book of Curses."
Curses, activate!
The target of the curses was, of course, his old acquaintance, "Green Sword Immortal."
The "Chaos True Demons" within his dantian began to cry out frantically.
"Brat, in the name of Chaos True Demons, I urge you to be kind!"
"Daddy, Yamete!"
"Daddy, I'm going to die!"
...
Regardless of the curses and screams of the Seventy-two Chaos True Demons, Hao Ren ignored them. He focused intently on casting curses.
One-click triple shot!
Hao Ren was experienced, launching three rounds of curses in quick succession.
Job done!
The Seventy-two Chaos True Demons were wiped out!
The whole world became quiet.
Hao Ren took a deep breath.
Satisfying!
Invigorating!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, your first curse is successful]
[Ding! Your enemy "Green Sword Immortal" has officially set sail. He is traveling to the Central Continent aboard the sea-crossing spiritual boat "Titanic." ... "Curse effect" activated, the sea churns with waves a thousand feet high, your enemy "Green Sword Immortal" suffers severe "seasickness," vomiting and purging, half-dead]
"Titanic," that name sounds very Western!
This is clearly an Eastern Xianxia world, why is there a Western name?
Moreover, for some reason, Hao Ren felt the name "Titanic" sounded familiar.
"Titanic," "Titanic"... Right, isn't that the "Titanic"!
Holy crap!
The tragically fated ship destined to sink!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, your second curse is successful]
[Ding! Your enemy "Green Sword Immortal," influenced by the power of the curse, couldn't sleep at night and took a casual stroll in his cabin, accidentally witnessing "Sword Qi Tremors" ...

[Ding! Your enemy "Green Sword Immortal" stumbled upon injustice and let out a righteous roar, exposing "Li Daoist" and "Rose Fairy's" affair to "Rose Fairy's" fiancé ...]
[Ding! Your enemy "Green Sword Immortal" was surrounded and attacked ... The beautiful love story of "Li Daoist" and "Rose Fairy" moved everyone. "Rose Fairy's" fiancé chose to forgive "Rose Fairy" and took the lead in attacking the meddlesome "Green Sword Immortal."]

[Ding! Your enemy "Green Sword Immortal" coughed up three liters of blood, out of sheer anger!!]
