Ignoring the indignation of the surrounding disciples, Ning made a decisive decision to overlook it.
"It seems that the only choice is to fully release the tenfold spiritual aura absorption!"
Ning quickly stopped holding back.
For some reason, his cultivation speed had slowed down these past few days. In this period, he had only improved by one star in strength, reaching the seven-star Xuanwu Master.
According to the system.
The spiritual energy he had cultivated in the past few days had been used to consolidate the realm he had quickly broken through before.
Now, although his strength was not strong, his foundation was solid.
[Tenfold spiritual energy absorption, fully activating!]
The system's voice flashed past.
Then, Ning sensed a strong suction burst from within his body, and a considerable amount of spiritual energy around him was instantly absorbed!
"Ha ha! This is the effect I want!"
Ning's face showed joy, and he immediately sat cross-legged, entering a meditative state for cultivation.
Thick spiritual energy condensed around him.
Boom!
The entire Di Yuan Hall suddenly shook!
Many disciples were startled.
What was that sound?
An earthquake?
Or had something else happened?
Following that, an enormous suction force burst forth from the center of Di Yuan Hall.
In an instant, a considerable amount of the spiritual energy in Di Yuan Hall disappeared, all converging towards the center!
"Holy shit!"
"Who is snatching the spiritual energy?"
Some of the inner gate disciples who were cultivating opened their eyes in shock, anger apparent in their gaze!
During the explosion of that tremendous suction force, they could clearly sense that the spiritual energy about to enter their bodies was directly pulled away!
The food was at their mouths, yet it was snatched away. How could these disciples not be furious?
"Who is it?"
"Is it that bastard!?"
A group of inner gate disciples stood up angrily, looking towards the group of outer gate disciples.
The outer gate disciples shook their heads, indicating it was not them, and then pointed towards Ning in the center, "It's him."
"Oh? I really want to see who dare to struggle with us for the spiritual energy!"
A cold smile appeared at the corners of the lips of the inner gate disciples.
They turned.
And looked.
In an instant, the group of inner gate disciples' eyes widened.
How could it be him!
Seeing Ning, the group suddenly lost their will to confront!
At this moment, the tenfold spiritual energy absorption exploded!
A vast amount of spiritual energy formed into a dragon vein, coiling around in Di Yuan Hall. The spiritual energy, like dragon breath, entered Ning's body continuously and unceasingly.
"Such a terrifying absorption of spiritual energy!"
"Absorbing so much spiritual energy, can his body really handle it?"
Numerous disciples stopped and watched this spectacle.
Seeing the spiritual energy turn into a dragon, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.
At this time.
Ning was enveloped by spiritual energy, shining like silver, magnificently resplendent.
Like a dragon drinking water, he intensely kept absorbing the spiritual energy.
As for the surrounding disciples, seeing this scene, they were already dumbfounded.
After a long while.
The spiritual energy in Di Yuan Hall was completely absorbed.
There was really not a single drop left.
A group of disciples widened their eyes, utterly baffled.
The spiritual energy of Di Yuan Hall was said to be manipulated through a formation, activated daily in the early morning. Now, for Di Yuan Hall to regain its spiritual energy, they would have to wait a full day!
"Phew"
Ning opened his eyes, exhaling a breath of turbid air.
"What a pity."
"Without the enhancement of a cultivation technique, this bit of spiritual energy isn't even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."
He shook his head.
Indeed.
Even after absorbing all the spiritual energy within Di Yuan Hall, his strength had not increased.
But Ning's body was now filled with an abundance of spiritual energy.
Hearing his words, the surrounding disciples were stunned and stayed rooted to the spot.
That was the entirety of Di Yuan Hall's spiritual energy!
So immense, yet you say it's not even enough to fill your teeth?
Ning stood up, stretched lazily, and prepared to leave the place.
At this moment, a voice sounded in his mind.
[You have shocked a group of disciples, reward: Xuan-rank movement technique, the Youlong Step!]
[The Youlong Step is being cultivated at a tenfold speed!]
[You have successfully cultivated the Youlong Step!]
Huh?
Ning was startled, looking at the disciples around him, seeing the shock on their faces.
He felt speechless inside.
Can just my casual cultivation shock you?
After the speechlessness, Ning got up, preparing to leave.
Suddenly, he remembered that the Scripture Pavilion was only open during specific times, so he asked a junior sister nearby out of curiosity.
The junior sister was taken aback, looking at Ning subconsciously. Her eyes promptly brimmed with a peach blossom flush, utterly charmed by Ning.
"That one… Ancestor Master, the Scripture Pavilion is open today."
The junior sister replied softly, her face flushed.
"Is it open already?"
Ning nodded upon hearing the news, and then he suddenly reacted, looking towards the junior sister, "You, what did you just call me?"
"Ah? Ancestor Master."
The junior sister blinked innocently.
"Ancestor Master?"
"Yes."
The junior sister nodded, "According to the rules of our Tianmo Sect, the person who marries the Empress is called Ancestor Master."
"That won't do; Ancestor Master sounds too old."
Ning shook his head; he was only twenty years old and still a fine young man. He wasn't old enough to be regarded as an Ancestor Master!
"Then Ancestor Master, what should I call you?"
The junior sister's watery eyes landed on Ning.
"Call me 'brother'; I think that's nice."
"Brother?"
The junior sister was startled. She looked at Ning seriously, "Ancestor Master, are you sure you're not flirting with me?"
"Flirting?"
Ning's face darkened, and he quickly shook his head.
What a joke!
If Luo Wuchang, that woman, found out, who knows what she might do!
"Cough cough, you all keep cultivating here, I'll take my leave."
Saying that, Ning didn't waste any words, using the Youlong Step, he directly left Di Yuan Hall.
He left behind a group of disciples, painfully watching Ning's departing figure, mentally complaining that the spiritual energy of Di Yuan Hall was all absorbed by him, leaving nothing at all. What were they to cultivate?
