A month later.....
Inscribing the core rune in the dantian using the Spirit Sea as the base required a deep understanding of spiritual energy, meditation, and precise control.
And during these past month Vin had done just that, through his master's guidance he had learned how to inscribe even more complicated runic symbols with his spirit energy, but he couldn't conjure them out of thin air like his master did.
That was because he hadn't inscribed a core rune on himself yet, but that was going to change starting today.
Although he had learned to inscribe complicated Runes and had even mastered how to inscribe the core through his master's guidance.
Most of the credit also went to his insanely high comprehension rate, his master had even said that when it came to comprehension alone, he was better than most of the geniuses in the main realm.
And after a month of meditation and training, Vin was now ready to inscribe the core rune in his dantian.
***
Vin entered a meditative state, focusing his mind and calming his energy. He centered himself, connecting with his inner self and the Spirit Sea within his dantian.
He then activated the Spirit Sea, stirring the spiritual energy within his dantian. He visualized the energy swirling, expanding, and filling his entire being.
Vin clearly visualized the core rune, understanding its structure, meaning, and significance. He saw the rune as a vibrant, pulsing symbol, filled with energy and potential.
Vin then guided the activated Spirit Sea energy to converge at the center of his dantian, creating a concentrated, swirling vortex. This vortex would serve as the foundation for the core rune inscription.
After that Vin focused his will and intention, carefully imprinting the core rune onto the Spirit Sea vortex. He ensured precise alignment, proportion, and energy resonance.
Vin then attuned his energy to the core rune, resonating with its frequency and essence. This harmonized the rune with his being, allowing seamless integration.
Vin took his time to inscribe the core rune onto the Spirit Sea vortex, using his spiritual energy to "write" the symbol, he don't want to make any mistakes as he only had one trial, and if he failed the consequences wasn't something he could afford.
After he was done, He then sealed the inscription, locking the rune's energy and potential within his dantian.
Vin toke a moment to integrate the core rune's energy, ensuring balance and harmony within his being. He felt the rune's power and potential, now an integral part of his spiritual core.
By following these steps, Vin successfully inscribed the core rune in his dantian, harnessing the Spirit Sea's energy as the base. This integration granted him access to the rune's power, allowing him to wield its energy and potential.
Vin was quite proud of his success as this had brought him one step closer to gaining the ultimate strength he desired, he was still reeling in the pleasure of his accomplishments when something happened.
A sudden change occurred immediately as something stirred up withing Vin as the Spirit sea within his dantian started raging about, along with the newly inscribed core rune.
Vin was dismayed and immediately sent his spiritual sense into his dantian to see what caused the disturbance.
But when he did, he was met with a very stunning scene, there was a humongous violet colored Phoenix that was burning with violet colored Hell Flames around it standing above the spirit sea vortex.
"What the... Is that the manifestation of my bloodline?!, it's huge!!" Vin exclaimed, he wondered why it had appeared for the first time, but his heart almost lept out of his chest when the Phoenix dived into the vortex.
"Hey!!! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" he screamed in terror as he felt like his soul had fled from his body "Are you trying to fucking kill me or what?"
But the Phoenix didn't even glance at him much less pay him any heed as it dived fully into the vortex and all hell was let loose.
The vortex started spinning wildly as it tried to devour the core rune, but the core rune seemed to have gained intelligence as it also attempted to devour the vortex.
This cause huge amounts of energies to billow out wildly and the one who bore the brunt of it was Vin as he spurted out large amounts of blood.
"Why the hell are you both fighting right now?, why are even trying to devour each other?, you're supposed to coexist together!!!" Vin raged but they didn't seem to listen to him as they kept on fighting for dominance.
Vin was at loss on what to do, but just when he was about to despair, a huge violet colored flame spunned out of the vortex and swallowed everything.
Vin then watched as the Flames started fusing both the spirit sea vortex and the core rune together into one entity, and although they both tried to fight back, they were no match for the Flames.
After an hour a new scene was presented to Vin, one he would never forget, it was a sea, a very beautiful violet colored sea, but thus sea wasn't made from condensed spiritual energy.
No it was made up of millions of smaller runic compartments that fused together to form one giant Rune that was in form of a sea.
"So.... Beautiful" Vin exclaimed as he admired the sea, after a while he breathed a sigh of relief as he thought he had passed the hurdle. But the worst had yet to come.
A thousand meter large Phoenix dove out of the sea and rushed towards Vin, he wanted to dodge it but the Phoenix was too fast for him and he was caught off guard.
The moment the Phoenix entered Vin's consciousness, it attempted to gain control over it, Vin fought back fiercely but no matter what he did he was no match for the Phoenix.
The moment the Phoenix gain partial control, it let out a loud shriek, Vin's eyes widened in dismay as it actually understood what the Phoenix had just said.
And it was exactly because he understood that he knew things had gone bad.
In the outside world a terrifying, thousand meter large vortex of Spiritual energy had appeared, it gathered about the mountain base if the Exodus Order.
The moment it appeared, it cause a huge alarming panic amongst the residents in the base, especially old Bai as he rushed out of the mountain and headed towards the vortex of energy.
But at the same time someone else also dashed out of the mountain and dove directly into the vortex.
"Vin, What're you doing?" old Bai shouted but Vin didn't seem to listen to him.
The moment Vin dived into the vortex a terrifying suction force was released from his body and began devouring the spiritual energy in the sky.
It was also at that moment old Bai appeared across from him, the suction force also tugged at him but couldn't do anything.
"Vin, what's going on with you?" old Bai demanded, but Vin didn't seem to hear him as his eyes were still closed.
Inside his mind Vin was still struggling fiercely but it was no use, the Phoenix was still stronger than him, he watched as large amounts of Spiritual energies poured into his dantian from outside.
The moment these spiritual energies came in contact with the spirit sea in his dantian, they transformed into smaller runes, which the fused in the Runes Sea.
As more and more spiritual energies entered and joined them, the spirit sea also started growing larger and and larger.
Six hundred meters
Seven hundred
Eight hundred
Nine hundred
One thousand meters.
The moment it hit the one thousand meter mark, it stopped growing larger and started condensing, just as it had done with his former Breakthrough.
After it had condensed to its limits, it stopped. In the outside world, the spiritual energy vortex had vanished, the only thing remaining in the air was only Bai and Vin who now had larger violet colored wing flapping behind.
The wing was a hundred meters wide in wingspan and it was strange in the sense that it was made purely of condensed flaming runes, the wings were releasing a terrifying aura, that would have scared away someone else.
But the strangest thing if all was the aura Vin was emitting. Although his cultivation now said that he was in the fifth stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, the spiritual pressure that surrounded him was telling a different story.
Old Bai felt like he was standing in front of a Demonic beast king. He tried calling out to Vin but it didn't seem he could get through to him.
At that time the rest of the Exodus Order had also rushed out of the mountain.
They looked up to the sky and saw old Bai calling out Vin's name. So they too joined in calling Vin but it was all to no avail.
