Henry sat cross-legged on the ground and he kept trying to channel more earth spiritual energy than he directed it towards his core.
As he took in Earth's spiritual energy the ground started to crack. His aura started to grew tremendously for some time. However, he knows it's temporary, when the effect will end side effects will start to appear.
However, he won't think about the side effects for now. He focused on directing the earth's spiritual energy towards the core of it.
However, he didn't know that he is a spectator who is watching everything from a distance.
However, even if he knew that he has a spectator he remained indifferent since he knows he has to do this for power.
When Elosie's grandfather saw the scene he lost his sanity.
"He can use earth's spiritual energy."Elosie's grandfather thought to himself in complete disbelief.
Earth spiritual energy is a type of energy present in the earth whose quantity is greater than normal spiritual energy.
The earth's spiritual energy focuses on making the physique stronger by refining its body.
However Humans can't use Earth's spiritual energy, only beasts can use them.
It's one of the reasons for the fall of the human race and the rise of other races when the spiritual energy in the air started to recede.
He thought that he was daydreaming but then he took a closer look at the ground. He saw small lines that are golden in color that are connected to Henry's body.
When he saw this he became almost certain that he can use Earth's spiritual energy.
However, he wasn't able understand what he is trying to do with this energy.
"Is he trying to improve his physical body cultivation with this since he can't increase his spiritual cultivation with earth's spiritual energy.?I know it's not good to spy on others by using this thing but I will still use it"Elosie's grandfather thought to himself with a frown on his face.
He began to channel spiritual energy to his eyes in a certain direction. A moment later, his vision had turned white. He saw only white but he can see the small lines popping from all living beings.
This technique allows him to see the meridian network for anyone whose cultivation realm is below him or the same as him.
By using this technique he is able to analyze the movement of his opponent then he would be able to copy the art for a short time.
When he activated the technique he dismissed all the thoughts and focused on the body of Henry.
He took a look at his meridian network. It looked like an ordinary meridian network but it was far from it.
He saw blue and some brownish energy moving toward the center of his body.
At the center of his body was a huge ball of spiritual energy. It was showing some scars but these are normal for those who are at the mid-stage of Basic Qi core formation.
He ignored the scar and kept looking at the two energies rushing toward the core.
He noticed when the brown energy entered the core. The core turned a little brownish and it heated up but he didn't think much about it.
He continued to watch the scene but a moment later noticed something very shocking.
"What the hell is this?"He said out aloud.
As the brownish energy entered the core. The core had turn hot and cracks started to appear on it.
When he saw this he knew one thing for sure.
"Is he trying to destroy his core but why will he want to do this if he doesn't then he will easily fall at the early stage of the Basic Qi core formation realm.
Now why will they want their cultivation to regress so why is he doing this? I will just observe him from here"Eloise Grandfather thought to himself with a serious look on his face
At the same time.
Henry's body started to hurt like hell. His entire body was aching and he was feeling weaker. The sense of weakness grew with each passing second.
That's to be expected since his cultivation has regressed.
He felt the power leaving his body every second. This feeling isn't a great feeling, it's the quiet opposite instead.
However, he won't have the slightest bit of regret since he knew it's for the better tomorrow.
He continued to channel the earth's spiritual energy toward his core without the slightest bit of hesitation.
Then more and more cracks started to appear on his core which costed Henry's power to decrease even more and he felt pain in the middle of his two chests.
It was really painful. A moment later he vomited blood from his mouth. His nose started to bleed but he tolerated the pain.
However, he still kept channeling more of Earth's spiritual energy toward his core. More cracks appeared on the core.
The sound of glass breaking resounded throughout the entire place.
*Kaccha Kaccha Kaccha*
The core in his body bursted away. The spiritual energy from his body started to leave at an incredible speed.
When the sound of glass breaking resounded throughout the entire place. He fell to the ground while he coughed up blood.
Then he saw some notification appearing on his retina.
(You have been seriously hurt due to the breaking of your core.
Activating the feature of the system passive recovery.
Passive recovery has been activated)
(Your cultivation has dropped to the early stage of Basic Qi core formation due to the breaking of your core)
(Your fiber, muscles, and bones have been damaged due to the presence of too much earth spiritual energy.
Activating Passive recovery to fix it
Passive recovery has been activated
Your wounds have started to heal)
When Henry saw the line of words appearing on the retina he just sigh.
"At least I have completed my goal. Now I will just have to re-cultivate them. Also, I have to see the description of the feature of the system next time"Henry thought to himself as he lay down on the ground
As he lied on the ground he will start to grasp for air. He realized that his internal wounds had started to heal.
He assumed that it's due to the features of the system. He kept lying on the ground and then he stopped gasping for air since he feels better.
All of a sudden he began to feel a powerful aura approaching him. His first thought were that they are assassins who are hired by the guy who hired assassins to kill his family.
He wanted to stand up but he realized that he can't stand up due to the internal wounds and also because of paralysis.
(Your body has been paralysis to restrict your movement because it will help your body to recover quickly)
When Henry read the notification his mind immediately froze. Since if he is paralyzed then he won't be able to do anything to protect himself from danger that awaits him.
Then he will just keep lying on the ground since this is the best thing he can do. He tried to maintain a calm look on his face so that he can't get to know his weakness.
"Who is there? I know you are there so they aren't any use in hiding. So show yourself," Henry said to the person.
A figure started to walk outside the bushes. He saw his face and was shocked beyond words.
"What! What are you doing here?"Henry asked in complete confusion.
