Abolishing the Dantian and Transforming It into a Qi Sea

By the time they returned to the City Lord’s Mansion, night had already fallen. Faye Knox was still exhausted from her earlier battle with Evan Chu; even though she’d absorbed the energy from the Immortal Stones, it hadn’t restored her much, and she’d only forgotten her fatigue because of the excitement.

After returning to her room, Evan Chu didn’t continue being intimate with Faye Knox. Some things are better in moderation, and with Faye’s current cultivation and physique, she really couldn’t handle too much.

Evan Chu took out a pile of Immortal Stones from his storage ring and said, "Faye, from now on you should absorb the energy inside these Immortal Stones. If you can fully convert the Nether qi in your body to Immortal Essence, you might be able to ascend straight to the Immortal Realm—and sunlight will no longer be a threat to you."

Faye Knox looked at Evan Chu in confusion and asked, "Is it really that miraculous? Can I really ascend to the Immortal Realm?"

To be honest, Evan Chu wasn’t sure about the answer himself—he only knew that the Emerald Immortal Empress had said it was possible. There was always a chance she might end up ascending to the Netherworld instead. But to comfort her, Evan said, "Of course you can. Just do as I say and you’ll be fine."

Faye Knox knew Evan Chu couldn’t stay in the Netherworld for long. She planned to go into closed-door cultivation once he left, and she also knew he’d visit Princess Ivy and Lillian Zhang. So for now, she just wanted to spend these few days with him.

Faye Knox and Evan Chu lay together on the bed, with Faye nestled in his arms, savoring the warmth she’d missed for so long. "Faye, how is your father, the Nether Monarch, doing? Has he ascended yet?"

"Not yet. He’s still trying to break through the barrier of Ninth-Layer Venerable Martial Realm, and won’t be coming out anytime soon. I don’t want to disturb him. When he does ascend, you’ll have a chance to meet him," Faye Knox replied.

"Go to sleep. Tomorrow I still need to help Chase Chu open up his meridians, so he can have the potential to become a peerless powerhouse. You’re tired too, so rest early," Evan Chu said.

"No, I want you to love me again. All these years alone in an empty room have been pure torture. I know you didn’t really finish on the mountaintop. Tonight, I want you to truly satisfy me!" Faye Knox said, blushing.

Evan was taken aback—was this girl really still up for more? He slid his hand into her most intimate place and found it was already overflowing, completely beyond his expectations.

Naturally, Evan couldn't bear to let the woman he loved down, so he started another round of 'battle.' But this time, it didn't last long—Faye soon drifted off into a deep sleep.

Evan thought about pouring some Immortal Spirit Force into her body, but worried that her current strength was too weak to handle such power, so he held back.

The night passed uneventfully. Early the next morning, Evan was up bright and early, while Faye, though awake, stubbornly refused to get out of bed—after last night's craziness, it was no wonder she was still tired.

'Faye, sleep a little longer—I'm going to check on Cheng'er!' Evan said, heading out and leaving Faye with a happy, contented smile.

Evan took a stroll around the City Lord's Mansion and soon arrived at the martial training ground. Chase Chu was already up, practicing hard and dripping with sweat. He only stopped when he saw his father approach.

'Dad! Is today the day you'll change my physique?' Chase asked eagerly.

'That's right. But it's going to be extremely painful and dangerous, so you need to be mentally prepared. If you can't hold on, all our efforts will be wasted,' Evan said seriously.

'Don't worry, Dad. No matter how tough it gets, I'll stick it out. I've wanted to shake off the 'waste' label for ages—even if I die, I won't regret it. I know I can do it,' Chase said resolutely.

From his expression, Evan could see that his son was just like him—stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat.

'Good, Chase, that's the spirit! I hope you never act like a spoiled young master again. My son shouldn't be someone who bullies the weak. You should learn from me and become someone truly outstanding,' Evan said, patting Chase on the shoulder.

'Dad, I was immature before. I promise I'll never act that way again. I'll work hard at cultivation and become a top expert like you—someone everyone admires,' Chase said earnestly.

'Let's go. We'll head to the secret chamber now—I'll change your physique so you can truly cultivate martial arts and amaze everyone who once looked down on you,' Evan said.

Father and son entered the secret chamber of the City Lord's Mansion, where the Nether qi was thick. In the past, it would have been helpful, but now that Evan wanted them to absorb Immortal Essence instead, the Nether qi was just a hindrance.

With a thought, Evan activated the Star-Siphon Method. In no time, he had absorbed all the Nether qi from the chamber, leaving Chase stunned at his father's terrifying power.

Evan looked at Chase and said, 'You too can become a peerless powerhouse like me. Now I'll abolish your dantian, letting your Hidden Divine Meridians play a decisive role—and you might even awaken your bloodline power.'

'What are Hidden Divine Meridians? And what's my bloodline power?' Chase asked, confused—he'd never even heard those terms before.

'Don't worry about the details. I have the Golden Dragon physique—your mother should've told you. Once you awaken your bloodline power, you might be able to transform into a Golden Dragon too, and your strength will skyrocket,' Evan said.

Chase nodded. Even though the thought of having his dantian abolished scared him, remembering that his father was a peerless expert made the fear fade away.

Evan took a deep breath—he was nervous too, since it was his first time doing something like this and he wasn't completely confident. But if he didn't try, Chase would always be a 'waste,' and Evan couldn't accept that for his son. He had to take the risk.

With a focused thought, Evan poured powerful Chaos Immortal Force into Chase's body, while his other hand quickly channeled wood element to protect Chase's heart meridians—just as the Emerald Immortal Empress had instructed. He couldn't afford even a moment's carelessness.

Only someone as strong as Evan could pull this off—splitting his attention and wielding rare wood element energy. Even if others knew the method, they might not be able to do it.

Chaos Immortal Force surged into Chase's body, causing a swelling pain that made him feel like he was about to explode—his dantian and meridians felt ready to burst. But remembering his father's warnings and driven by stubborn pride, Chase grit his teeth and held on...
