Time flies by quickly throughout their 3 months of cultivation Pangbo made progress, he successfully cultivated and expand his "sea of bitterness and feel his wheel of life" this was the case for him, but certainly Yefan who didn't made any gain or any progress demotivated himself to the point where he feels there is no meaning in cultivating.
Yezi. Don't loose hope I believe you will manage cultivate surely, here today I asked extra Green Jade Bottle of medicinal liquid from "Elder Wu Qing Feng". Pangbo stack around 300 jade bottles of medicine liquid on the table, yefan startle by so many fluid bottles…. How, did Elder give you so many bottles or did you steal them. Pangbo smile warily,… I beat other students and gain so many from them, it was there mistake to challenge me so I make the bet and win so many of them.
Looking at his friend reasoning, Yefan awestruck, he picked a green jade bottle open its cap, a rich fragrance of medicinal liquid smell like grassy scent hit his nose, it is said that the qi essence extract from hundreds of medicinal plants, it is the same as extracting vitality from the wheel of life in the sea of bitterness from the medicinal plants.
Yefan remembers something…. In the novel story this was the time were Yefan manage to break the curse and open its sea of bitterness and the wheel of life, thinking inwardly he hope this to work, looking at Pangbo,… let do it. Pangbo chuckled how his friend vigorousness rise.
Sitting on the chair a table full of Green jade bottle of medicinal liquid…. Yezi to the end, Pangbo click the jade bottle with his friend hand that holding a jade bottle…. "Cheers" Yefan reply enthusiastically "Cheers" 1 bottle + 5 bottles - 10 bottles - 20 bottles, pangbo who just now finished 20 bottles feel his stomach growled he feels that this was the limit of his capacity,…. Yezi I think I can take this much only, my stomach hurts"…. You have taken 20 bottles of hundreds plants extract it is equivalent of 5 years of medicinal liquid, gawking at his friend,… do you not feel pain, pangbo ask?"….. I feel like I can continue this, Yefan said and started with his drinks free process,
-50 bottles
-80 bottles
-100 bottles
-150 bottles
-200 bottles
-280 bottles
Out of 300 Jade Green Bottles, 280 Yefan has finished it, looking at all the jade bottles everywhere on the table and on the floor Pangbo dumbstruck,…. Yezi do you feel anything, feeling weird that his friend has finished all of them but still looking calm, surprised and awkward also, he feels like even if he brings another stack of same amount he can surely drunk all of them.
Yefan make thin line of lip shrugs his shoulders,… seems it's not enough maybe…. "BOOM" an aura emitted from yefan which astounded both of them, yefan body emitting heat and releasing wave after wave of energy, his skin glowing and flashing with light,…. "YEZI' i think it's worked, pangbo smile from ear to ear.
Yefan who was waiting for this special moment looking at his friend with wide eyes, nodded to his friend and close his eyes. Sitting in a meditative posture.
Yefan standing at a place were his feet was under the water, which was 3 meters raise from the ground, it's stretched as far as he can see, his sight landed on two sphere like white colour stone, it was so gigantic in size, around 100 foot long, it's monstrous size stupefied him, so big that can match a tsunami wave in the ocean he turned on it left and glaze at an object which confused him.
A gate made out of wooden planks on top of that there is miniature statues, on the left top of the gate there is a phoenix made out of woods, on its right a dragon made out of woods, on the side frame of the gate there is a cauldron, spear, sword, armour, carriage, and different objects have been sculpted, Yefan observe every detail of the gate, when his eye's landed on the top centre of the gate, his squinted his eyes to decipher what was it.
In between the dragon and phoenix there was a sculpture of a woman made out of woods, both hand join together, fingers interlock rested on the woman chest, hair long enough that reach her knees, at the back of her there are wings stretched on both sides, counting the wing it has 4 set's of wings, but what caught the attention was the face it was blank no eyes or nose or mouth, it's just faceless statue. A beautiful sculpture which gives a bizarre expression.
What is this place, it doesn't resemble the place how the Elders had described. Why my sea of bitterness looks so different and why there is a gate and a monsters size set of stone, Contemplating with the situation unfolded in his inner space he turn his head to look at the two things again and again…. This place is not my wheel of life and the see of bitterness, this place is something else, I have to investigate it thoroughly
Taking the deep breath Yefan muttered,…. What can go wrong, I have been waiting for this moment. anything is better then nothing. Motivating himself yefan try to enter the wooden gate which was closed, he put both of his palm and apply force to open it. "HMMM" yefan looking at the door and apply a bit more force BUT the door does not open,…. What the Fuck, he lean on the door with both hands on the either side of the door and apply full force,…. Aaaaaaaa gritting his teeth Yefan apply almost all his strength but the door didn't even budged, it's like a door not made out of woods but with metal.
What happen why is is not opening, not understanding what was happening yefan stare at the door,…. Does it even suppose to open or it's just for show, yefan who don't know how he should deal with the situation turn around at glance at the stone, he walk towards the stone and put his right palm on the stone, trying to initiate something or anything that give him any clue about this thing, but nothing happened, he circles the stones but didn't find any uneven spot on the surface,…. There is no button no hole or door, it's a perfect white sphere, he caresses his chin to think,…. Why this thing is so big what could be the reason of it to be so big, he look at the wooden door and then to the set's of white sphere stone.
A wooden door with dragons and phoenix and so many things but the damn thing don't open and this balls are so bigs with no reason, making an annoying face yefan tighten his fist and punch the ball, frustrated with this situation and disparity he punches again an again until his hand started to bleed, a trail of blood 🩸 drop sweep pass his finger and floated toward the sphere and the sphere absorbs it. Yefan who saw this dumbstruck with this,… wait what happen why did it absorb my blood.
"SHUAAAA"
A sound rang in the space, Indicating that something has happened, yefan move back 500m away from the sphere, he mouthed in a shape of "O" , there he can see two beams of light shoot in the sky and at the end it's intersect each other like inverted " V ".
