The heat he was feeling now was so strong that he felt his body would melt.
The heat had begun transferring to his outer body, and the cold water had begun to let out steam.
Li Yu was feeling a lot of pain now, he felt that his body would begin melting at any time, or he might be burnt into ashes now.
Thankfully, Li Yu's mind was so strong thanks to the years his soul had spent in the dark space, experiencing different forms of torture, so he wouldn't lose his conscience.
The pain Li Yu was passing through with his mortal body at the moment was something that would have made even a nascent soul realm cultivator lose his soul.
Li Yu clenched his teeth with every ounce of strength he could muster, scared that he would scream and scare little Liu, whose room was not far from his.
His body began to glow with red that could be seen with naked eyes.
'F*CK, IS THIS THE FEVER THEY ALWAYS SAY? HOW DO THOSE THAT EXPERIENCE THIS ALWAYS OVERCOME IT?" Li Yu screamed painfully in his mind with his still clear conscience.
This was what Li Yu thought, he thought what was happening to him at the moment was a fever.
In Li Yu's entire life and the owner of this body's entire life, none has experienced a fever before, so he wouldn't have known that no mortal would be able to bear with this sort of 'FEVER'.
The water Li Yu was currently dipped into had become completely scorching hot and had even begun to evaporate with a speed visible to eyes.
Li Yu decided to bear with it, as he had been told a situation like this would pass in no time for people with a high fever.
Li Yu would have been scared out of his soul if he had seen the situation going on in his soul sea at this moment, unfortunately, he was just a complete mortal.
Currently, in Li Yu's soul sea.
A huge world that was at least 40 times bigger than those mortals with great potential.
The soul sea was completely empty, and should also be completely dark at the moment, since Li Yu had never practiced cultivation before, with this body.
But at moment, a small ball was floating in the middle of this huge world, and releasing bluish light, which was currently illuminating the world.
No one would have believed that this small ball would be capable of performing this task if they had been told and not seen this scene.
Apart from getting rid of the darkness in Li Yu's soul sea, the bluish light could also be seen flowing out of Li Yu's soul sea at the moment, and into Li Yu's inner body.
It was currently flowing into his vein, and blood vessel, strengthening them and cleansing away all foreign poisonous matters in them.
It was also currently trying to invade Li Yu's lower dantian, which was located three fingers width below his abdomen, and two fingers width behind his abdomen.
Back to Li Yu's physical body, Li Yu who was still waiting patiently for the 'high fever' to subside in complete pain suddenly felt a great pain in his lower abdomen.
It was so unexpected, and just before Li Yu could react, the pain that had been trying to break him down suddenly disappeared as if it had never appeared.
What took over was a completely cool sensation.
The heat that had completely evaporated the water in the bath, and was about to destroy Li Yu's body by now had suddenly and mysteriously disappeared as if it had never been there.
Li Yu who had not expected this sudden change was suddenly stunned speechless.
"F*CK!!!"
Li Yu who was just about to sigh in relief suddenly cursed out, with his eyes wide open as if he had seen his dead parent suddenly awake.
Li Yu who was not moved at all even in the face of excruciating pain was deeply moved at the moment.
'Was I sensing wrongly? Isn't this the energy one would feel when they unblocked their first dantian and reach the first level of the qi gathering realm?'
Li Yu began to sense his body carefully.
The shock Li Yu was feeling immediately intensified when he realized that he was not sensing wrongly, he had truly become a qi gathering realm cultivator.
With eyes and mouth wide open, Li Yu began to question the reality of life.
'What the f*ck just happened? I had not even cultivated before.'
Even in Li Yu's last life which he was deemed as the most talented prodigy in a million years, he had practiced with all his time for almost a month before he could reach this level, but look at things now, it took only just a single 'fever' for him to reach the level.
Li Yu could not react for a long time.
"Was what happened just now not a fever?"
Li Yu suddenly questioned himself loudly, after he had regained his conscience.
"If not, then what happened exactly?"
Li Yu looked into the space with an expression that looked funny.
After searching high and low in his mind for anything that could cause or be linked to a situation like this in his mind, Li Yu decided to give up when he realized he could not think of an answer.
Standing up, Li Yu stretched his body which was currently filled with energy.
The shock in Li Yu would have multiplied if he was to know the sort of energy flowing in his body at the moment, as it is not the popularly known qi that flows in cultivators body, but that's for a different time.
Li Yu took off his robe which had already been completely soaked with water.
…..
'Why am I feeling that I would definitely regret it in the future if I don't practice this skill
Li Yu was currently dressed in a white robe, and seated in a meditative position in his bed.
His mind was locked up on The Great Primordial Heaven Technique in his mind.
Although he has no deep understanding of this technique at all as he had only given it a curious glance then.
The only thing he understood about this technique was that its level could not be judged at all and that it's a dream technique for every cultivator. Apart from that, he knows nothing about it.
Li Yu would have understood the complete technique if he had been able to study it then because he has a great cultivator in his past life could remember everything he saw, unfortunately, he had only given the first few pages curious glances, and promised himself to study it well in the future.
After contemplating for a while, Li Yu decided to just do as his instinct had told him.
'it is better to waste a few months now than to regret it in the future.'
Having made up his mind, Li Yu began to sink himself into meditation mode, and in no time he had begun to breathe rhythmically, according to what was written on the first page.
While Li Yu was following the breathing method, the energy in his body began to jump around happily, as if a group of children who had received their favorite sweets or meals.
The bluish energy began to jump around and widen Li Yu's lower dantian. Then as the dantian widens, the energy begins to run.
In no time, it reached Li Yu's second dantian, which was located just in the middle of his chest.
Seeing that it could not be able to move forward anymore, the energy pulsed a bit, then like an angry child, it rushed forward and collided heavily with the dantian entrance.
The force was so much that Li Yu who had become engrossed in his meditation immediately snapped his eyes open.
He felt a great pain in his chest as if someone had suddenly pounded a hammer there.
Li Yu immediately became happy when he noticed this, as he realized what it meant.
Ignoring the pain he was feeling, Li Yu closed his eyes again, and resumed his cultivation.
"Boom!!"
The angered energy collided heavily with the dantian entrance again when it realized that it wouldn't open.
Then like a child who felt that the only thing it needed to do was just to force the door open, it continued to collide heavily with this entrance.
Blood had even begun to trickle down Li Yu's mouth by now due to the collision in his body, but he does not open his eyes at all, instead, it even felt as if he could not feel the pain anymore now has his expression had remained unchanged.
Suddenly, a snap sound that could be heard from outside suddenly sounded from within Li Yu's body.
"Finally," Li Yu breathed out a murky air slowly.
The bluish energy finally stopped when it realized it had achieved its aims, it immediately felt happy.
After jubilating for a while, the energy suddenly stopped its movement, as if it had become completely tired.
'Second level of Qi gathering realm in just a single night.'
