The energy flying toward the Shadow Mark on my forehead was too much for my body to handle. I passed out but woke up after who knows how long, feeling a sharp pain all over my body, and my head felt like it would explode at any given time.
I used all my strength to sit up straight, trying to keep my balance not to fall again. The most challenging part was to keep my mind awake with all the pain I felt. I had no idea that absorbing the rest of that area's demonic energy would be like that.
But the fact I managed to regain consciousnesses was a good thing. It allowed me to make rational decisions, knowing exactly where I was heading, and oh my, the result was quite surprising! Right after waking up, I noticed that the number of unlocked meridians in my body was 41! That was already more than the average for cultivators.
'It is working!'
