Chapter 1619 — Utterly Bizarre
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
This situation was just like the one after his previous fight with Zhang Naipao. Wei Zhao was not anxious; he simply cultivated step by step...
Early Yellow Rank, peak of the early Yellow Rank, middle Yellow Rank—in just a few hours, Wei Zhao had charged all the way to the peak of the late Yellow Rank! A cultivation speed like his was surely unprecedented. What inheritances, what Chrysanthemum Manuals—none of them could possibly match Wei Zhao's speed!
But when Wei Zhao was breaking through to the Profound Rank, something bizarre happened!
From the peak of the late Yellow Rank to the early Profound Rank, Wei Zhao made the leap without any difficulty. Yet no sooner had he reached the early Profound Rank than that bizarre scene appeared again. The true qi he had just accumulated inside him began to drain swiftly, as if a flood had burst through a levee, and in a matter of moments his strength plummeted back to the peak of the late Yellow Rank!
Next came the late Yellow Rank, then the peak of the middle Yellow Rank... Down it went, and Wei Zhao was soon on the verge of becoming an early Yellow Rank cultivator!
Alarmed, Wei Zhao hurriedly activated the Xuanyuan Dragon-Steering Art, trying to absorb the energy in the jade pendant space to make up for the loss of true qi. But the speed at which the true qi was draining far exceeded the speed at which he could cultivate. The energy he replenished simply could not keep up with what was being lost!
And so tragedy struck once again. In the blink of an eye, Wei Zhao had become an ordinary person again!
This strange situation left him completely stupefied. What was going on? How could the strength he had just cultivated, the power he had possessed only a moment ago, vanish all over again?
Sitting inside the jade pendant space, Wei Zhao's expression shifted from overcast to clear. He had never encountered anything this uncanny before. Today was the first time!
It had all been fine just before. Why did his strength start disappearing the moment he cultivated to the Profound Rank?
Wei Zhao clenched his teeth and pondered for a while. He simply refused to believe in such evil. Once more he activated the Xuanyuan Dragon-Steering Art, determined to start from being an ordinary person and cultivate anew!
And so his strength began to rise again. This time, however, the newly cultivated power did not rapidly vanish; true qi could accumulate bit by bit, and before long Wei Zhao had become a solid early Yellow Rank practitioner!
This was something of a relief to Wei Zhao, and he threw himself into continued cultivation. Thus, from the peak of the early Yellow Rank to the middle Yellow Rank... he advanced all the way to the peak of the late Yellow Rank! When he reached that point, though, he grew somewhat nervous.
Last time, the trouble had started precisely when he was at the peak of the late Yellow Rank. Could something go wrong again this time?
But it seemed the more one dreaded a thing, the more surely it came to pass. The instant Wei Zhao broke through to the early Profound Rank, the tragedy of vanishing strength descended upon him once more! The power within his body began, for no reason at all, to drain rapidly again!
This time, Wei Zhao did not even try to activate the Xuanyuan Dragon-Steering Art to resist it, because the speed of the drain was simply too fast—far faster than his cultivation could ever hope to match. Resistance would have been futile resistance, utterly useless!
