The Heir of the Celestial Diagram

Chapter 8: The First Advance

Han Feng returned to the village before dawn. The fatigue weighed on his body, but the excitement within him was greater. He held tightly to the leaves of the Spiritual Vine of the Crescent Wind, his reward for the audacity of entering the Misty Forest.

Now was the time to move forward.

He entered his cabin silently and closed his eyes for a moment, regaining his energy. Then, he took a small iron cauldron and filled it with pure water before carefully grinding the leaves.

As soon as the pieces fell into the water, a fresh and vibrant aroma filled the air.

Han Feng felt a wave of natural Qi emerge from the liquid.

"If I absorb this energy correctly, I can strengthen the Dual Chaos Larva and take a real step on the cultivation path."

He sat in a lotus position, placed the cauldron in front of him, and activated his connection with the Celestial Diagram.

The Strengthening Process

As soon as he began to drink the infusion of the Spiritual Vine, Han Feng felt a wave of heat wash over his body. His mind plunged into the diagram within his consciousness.

The hexagram pulsed, resonating with its Qi.

The Dual Chaos Larva, within his dantian, reacted immediately. The small insect began to vibrate, absorbing the medicinal energy and growing stronger.

Han Feng felt the transformation happening.

The Qi inside his body became denser. His bond with the Gu deepened.

So, something unexpected happened.

The Mutation

The pattern of the Celestial Diagram shone with an intensity never seen before.

He felt the Dual Chaos Larva starting to change!

His body, previously unstable due to the conflicting essences, now seemed to find a perfect balance. The chaotic and orderly energies were merging in a way that no other Gu master would be able to achieve.

Then, an explosion of Qi coursed through his body.

Han Feng gasped but maintained control.

The Dual Chaos Larva was evolving!

The small translucent wings began to grow slightly, and their eyes gained a silvery gleam. Her aura became stronger, more stable.

When the process ended, Han Feng opened his eyes and felt something different.

His body was stronger.

His meridians were wider, his spiritual perception sharper, and his connection with the Dual Chaos Larva was at a new level.

The First Step on the Path of Cultivation

He took a deep breath, feeling the vibrant energy within him.

Now, he had truly entered the path of cultivation.

But this was just the first of many transformations to come.

The village's annual test was approaching, and Han Feng was no longer just a simple, talentless boy.

Now, he had a unique power. And he intended to use it to change his destiny.
