Chapter 58: Divine Network

Only after the mosquitoes had flown far away did Xiao Nanfeng carefully help the Lady Arclight out of the water.

Upon witnessing the boar skeleton once again, Xiao Nanfeng gulped. He hurriedly stowed the boar's skeleton within his storage ring as he carried the Lady Arclight on his back straight toward the forest.

He avoided some spirits that had rushed over upon hearing the commotion, then headed toward the boar's lair. He skulked around the entrance to the lair, carefully listening for any sounds coming from within, then emitted his spiritual power to perform another search. Only when he was entirely confident that there was no life within did Xiao Nanfeng slowly approach its entrance.

The lair was large and spacious, but had a trace odor of blood. The boar seemed to have been relatively cleanly, at least, and there was no excrement to be found. In fact, the lair seemed to contain nothing at all. Delve into the source of this information, deeply rooted in n0v(lbin★

Xiao Nanfeng carefully inspected the lair to confirm that there were no signs of a second occupant before he relaxed.

He then placed the Lady Arclight on a large rock so that she could rest, then took out the boar skeleton and placed it by the entrance to the lair, thinking that the boar spirit's aura would be sufficient to terrorize the other spirits nearby.

Having resolved the problem of shelter, Xiao Nanfeng then glanced at the golden tree outside the lair—and the three golden sunfruits on it.

Xiao Nanfeng walked up to it. A fragrance enveloped his body in comfort.

The golden sunfruit gave off a pale golden glow, shining all over. However, they weren't fully golden—where the fruit's stem connected to the tree, they were still a little unripe.

"No wonder the boar hasn't consumed them yet... but I don't have time to wait." Xiao Nanfeng plucked all three fruit at once.

He returned to the lair and sat cross-legged in meditation as he consumed one of the golden sunfruit. The flesh of the fruit was extraordinarily tasty. It gave off an incredible burst of yang energy as he consumed it, far more so than the crow spirits' inner cores that he had consumed.

The energy of pure yang swept through Xiao Nanfeng's limbs and bones, causing him to radiate with golden light. His pores emitted golden flame.

"Before I set off on this expedition, Master helped me pick out quite a few Immanence-realm techniques. The one he ultimately recommended was Divine Network. Cultivation before Ascension-realm involves a mortal body, and all such cultivation is foundational. The stronger one's foundations, the greater the possibility of developing extraordinary talents. Divine Network is supposed to be incredibly difficult to cultivate, but all those who have succeeded with it have gone on to become incredible masters..."

Only then did Xiao Nanfeng consume all the yang energy in the first golden sunfruit.

Xiao Nanfeng consumed one more. Burning yang energy filled his body. He planned to unblock all nine capillaries associated with his first divine conduit in one go.

"The seventh capillary!"

"The eighth capillary!"

Only when he had unblocked all nine capillaries did Xiao Nanfeng slowly open his eyes. By then, he felt as though he were emitting flames from every pore of his body.

He had exhausted the majority of his spiritual power by then, but in exchange, he had unblocked his first divine conduit and all its tributary capillaries.

The Taoist scriptures he had read mentioned these capillaries, but even the most talented cultivators at the first stage of Immanence could unblock only one or two of them. Xiao Nanfeng, however, had unblocked all nine!

He didn't consume the third golden sunfruit, because he had discovered that the benefit from consuming multiples of the same natural treasure was marginal, as though his body had developed a resistance against it. The second sunfruit had had a far weaker effect than the first, and the third would be weaker still.

Xiao Nanfeng glanced at the Lady Arclight, still unconscious and lying on a rock. He wasn't petty; he peeled the last golden sunfruit and slowly fed it to the Lady Arclight. Despite the fact that she was unconscious, she was still able to swallow by instinct.

As Xiao Nanfeng fed her the last piece of the sunfruit, the Lady Arclight's tongue licked her lips before reluctantly slipping back into her mouth.

"I've all but become your nanny!" Xiao Nanfeng grumbled.

After consuming the golden sunfruit, the Lady Arclight's pale face seemed to gain a measure of color.

By then, it was already evening. Rather than head out of the cave to scout around, Xiao Nanfeng pulled out the Lady Arclight's jade token and began to study the scriptures within.

For one thing, he had to meditate and hence regenerate the spiritual power he had consumed, and for another, he wanted to confirm whether or not the boar's carcass could indeed deter other spirits nearby from drawing close.

This hidden realm was full of danger, and he wanted to be as cautious as he could.
