In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!

Chapter 392: Great Trial

Why, then, were these two forms of power unable to coexist peacefully?

What other secrets were hidden within Yue Mingxuan’s body?

Meanwhile, Yue Mingxuan himself had fallen into unbearable suffering.

Within his body, the two cultivation techniques were attacking one another.

And the battlefield was his body itself.

His body had to endure the impact of both forces.

One was the cultivation method that had always existed within him.

The other was the Ninefold Celestial Mystery.

The two techniques alternated throughout his body, leaving him barely able to endure the strain.

Each side sought to devour the other and assimilate it into itself.

At the same time, Yue Mingxuan’s body burned with excruciating pain.

Although the original cultivation method possessed no particular attribute, compared to the Ninefold Celestial Mystery it seemed intensely hot.

The Ninefold Celestial Mystery, on the other hand was a technique of extreme yin.

It carried an icy aura.

Every place through which it flowed became freezing cold.

Yue Mingxuan’s dantian had been almost completely occupied by the Ninefold Celestial Mystery.

That was why his dantian felt so cold.

However, throughout most parts of his body, there still remained hidden reserves of power unrelated to the Ninefold Celestial Mystery.

Those were the cultivation energies that had originally belonged to this body.

If Yue Mingxuan managed to survive this ordeal, his cultivation would undoubtedly advance to an entirely new level.

But if he failed to endure it, there was a very real possibility that his body would explode and he would die.

When Gongsun Xing explained all of this to Shang Qinghua, the expression on Shang Qinghua’s face turned to complete shock.

Shang Qinghua had always assumed that Yue Mingxuan only knew a few basic martial arts techniques and did not possess much internal energy.

He had never imagined that such an enormous amount of internal energy was stored within Yue Mingxuan’s body.

Nor had he ever expected that this internal energy would be completely incompatible with the Ninefold Celestial Mystery.

Had he known this from the beginning, there was no way he would have allowed Yue Mingxuan to cultivate the Ninefold Celestial Mystery.

But now it was already too late.

There seemed to be nothing he could do.

The only thing left for him was to pray that the Ninefold Celestial Mystery within Yue Mingxuan’s body would overcome the original cultivation method.

If the original cultivation energies emerged victorious, then all of Yue Mingxuan’s efforts in cultivating the Ninefold Celestial Mystery during this period would have been for nothing.

Although those internal energies were extraordinarily powerful, they did not appear to obey Yue Mingxuan’s direct control.

Unless Yue Mingxuan was facing danger, those energies generally could not be utilized by anyone.

"Come on, Mingxuan."

Shang Qinghua gently held Yue Mingxuan’s fair and flawless hand.

Yue Mingxuan’s situation was extremely dangerous, yet all Shang Qinghua could do was watch.

When was the last time he had encountered a situation like this?

He could not remember clearly.

All he felt was hatred toward his own helplessness.

He hated that he was unable to protect Yue Mingxuan properly.

Meanwhile, Yue Mingxuan’s body continued alternating between scorching heat and freezing cold.

The battle between the Ninefold Celestial Mystery and the original cultivation energies seemed endless.

The two sides were evenly matched.

Although Yue Mingxuan supported the Ninefold Celestial Mystery, he still seemed unable to completely assimilate the original energies into it.

All he could do was continuously circulate the Ninefold Celestial Mystery over and over again.

Gradually, the technique began merging with the original energies.

Yet what emerged no longer resembled the Ninefold Celestial Mystery at all.

Yue Mingxuan did not concern himself with such details.

He simply guided the energy in whatever direction felt most comfortable.

The Ninefold Celestial Mystery and the original cultivation energies combined together.

In the end, they unexpectedly formed an entirely new cultivation method.

Yue Mingxuan knew nothing about any of this.

All he felt was that the flow of true energy within his body had become much smoother.

Compared to the earlier state where he alternated between extreme cold and extreme heat, the improvement was countless times greater.

"You’re awake?"

Shang Qinghua had remained beside Yue Mingxuan the entire time, terrified that something might happen to him.

Now that he saw Yue Mingxuan open his eyes, he was overjoyed.

"Mmm..."

Yue Mingxuan felt deeply moved.

He had assumed that Shang Qinghua would not be by his side.

Instead, the very first thing he saw upon waking was Shang Qinghua’s face.

This was not the first time such a thing had happened.

Yet this time felt better than any previous occasion.

"Are you alright?"

"I’m fine."

Yue Mingxuan’s body still felt somewhat weak.

Having just assimilated a large amount of internal energy, he still felt a little unsteady.

However, compared to before, his condition was already much better.

"Earlier, something strange happened to your body. You kept alternating between hot and cold..."

"Don’t move."

As soon as Gongsun Xing heard voices coming from inside the room, he immediately pushed open the door.

Seeing that Yue Mingxuan appeared to be trying to sit up, he hurried over and stopped him.

He stepped forward and checked Yue Mingxuan’s pulse.

Only then did he frown slightly and say, "There’s nothing wrong anymore."

"Mingxuan succeeded in the end, didn’t he?"

Shang Qinghua remembered what Gongsun Xing had said earlier.

Yue Mingxuan had essentially been undergoing an enormous trial.

If he succeeded, his internal energy would increase dramatically.

If he failed, his life would be in grave danger.

"One could say that, yes. Mingxuan’s body truly is an extraordinary place."

Gongsun Xing gave a bitter smile.

The fact that these two cultivation methods had merged together so perfectly was something he had never anticipated.

Generally speaking, cultivation techniques were fixed and distinct.

If two techniques could merge into one, it usually meant there was some degree of similarity between them.

However, Gongsun Xing had found no similarities whatsoever between the Ninefold Celestial Mystery and the original internal energies.

Perhaps Yue Mingxuan’s body had automatically discovered the most beneficial solution on its own.
