Half of the elder's body disappeared. This whirlpool was sucking him inside, but the elder was not screaming in pain. He just closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Is he dead?" I asked, shivering.
"Dead? Why would he be dead? I just sent him somewhere else." Li Tian looked at me weirdly.
I slumped onto the ground. The day was exhausting enough as it is, and this just topped it off. Three people tried to kill me at once!
"Now then, what are we going to do about him? We can't just send him back there. He isn't going to be the same person anymore." the white robed man said.
"I have no intention of sending him back to the outer court. He needs to go somewhere else for now. I think that he should seclude himself until he reaches the Core Formation Stage. Then, I will send him to go for a few missions." Li Tian shook his head.
"I should seclude myself until I reach the Core Formation Stage? How is that any fair? I can go out for missions instead." I suggested.
"And tell everyone that you are an open target? I don't think so. How could Liu Qian be so stupid? He should have hid the fact that this idiot started cultivating and sent him right to me. I would have done something about it, and we would have a little more freedom to experiment." Li Tian sighed.
"If I should seclude myself until I reach the Core Formation Stage, then won't I miss the preaching by the elders? That discussion about the dao was truly profound and I think that I can learn from that." I said.
"You can go on the path of the dao yourself. There is no need for you to get an elder's help to do it. Now, where do we put him for this closed cultivation? It has to be somewhere that no one will expect." Li Tian said.
"We can put him in the Frozen Earth Prison. I mean, that is perfect. No one will think that he will be in the sect's punishment grounds. And, we can make a room there so that he doesn't freeze from the cold." the white robed man said.
"That works. We should send him there now." Li Tian looked at me now.
"You should get to the Core Formation Stage. Looking at you, and how fast your cultivation has taken off, I am sure that it will take no more than just a few months. Just six minor realms. They won't take much time. But there is one thing that you have to keep in mind. Understand what Core Formation means. You have to form a core. Just remember that." Li Tian said as he snapped his fingers.
The pleasant weather of this courtyard turned into a chilling cold. I felt my fingers freeze up almost immediately.
"Oops! I forgot to give him the protection." I heard master's voice.
The moment he said that, I could feel the cold cut down, until I could not feel it anymore.
Ping!
[System detects change in storyline. System is confused at the incredible progression of Host. System will update to System V3. Time to complete update - 3 days]
"What? Change in story line? Does this mean that all of this happened too fast? I knew it. All of this should have happened much, much later, probably when I was in the Core Formation Realm, or in the Nascent Soul Realm. Why did this have to happen now?" I sighed.
"Now then. Why don't you go into his room and prepare for a long cultivation session? You should be able to get as much Qi as possible from this room. It is my personal cultivation room. You should be honored to use it." Li Tian said as he tapped my back.
I was propelled forward at an incredible speed, until I saw that I was in a dark room, much like the one that he forced me in for the nine days.
I took a deep breath.
Cough!
"The Qi density of this room is immense! If I start using the Heavenly Devouring Art here, then I will be able to get to the Core Formation Stage in just a month or two, forget the five or six that they think I should take." my eyes brightened up.
The pitiful state that I was in was apparent. I was weak. But this was an opportunity. I could actually grow stronger. I could get to the Core Formation Stage and become an actual cultivator.
I looked around. There were no openings. To one side, there was a basket of pills that I very much recognized. Food Pills. I popped one into my mouth and took another deep breath.
"Alright. I don't have the system for three days, don't I? I think that I should just cultivate then." I told myself.
I started performing the Heaven Devouring Art. The room was dark, but there seemed to be some light, though where it came from was not apparent. And with this little light, I was able to see that the Qi in the air was thick enough to form a mist of sorts.
Now, with the Heaven Devouring art, this mist was forming a vortex and entering my body through my pores and openings. All this Qi was just going in.
I could feel the Qi overloading my Dantian. This was a lot of Qi. Just like the last time, when master overloaded my dantian to forcefully make it larger, I also knew that I had to force my dantian to become larger and larger.
Drop by drop, the Qi condensed in my dantian. Cracks appeared once I forced more of it in, but the Qi was spent in repairing the cracks that it made.
Ding!
I felt my strength grow stronger. The system, always told me whenever I grew stronger, but now, I felt what everyone felt when they grew stronger. I did not improve a whole realm, but I was sure that my strength increased by a bit.
This was the increase that I needed right now.
