Chapter 59: Long Tian Revives

Three hours of waiting was undoubtedly a long time for those who were anxiously awaiting news at that moment.
When the last arc of electricity from the shocker disappeared and it was removed from Long Tian’s body, everyone turned to look at the ECG, hoping to know if Long Tian’s heart would stop beating without electrical support.
The steady wavy lines on the ECG finally put everyone at ease, though they were also filled with excitement.
Ye Feng was the first to walk over to Long Tian, picked up the shocker that had fallen to the ground, and then checked his pulse.
When Ye Feng touched Long Tian’s wrist, Long Tian’s fingers twitched slightly. Ye Feng was stunned. “Brother Long, can you hear me? It’s Xiao Feng…”
“Ye Feng, what’s wrong?” Long Yue stood beside Ye Feng.
“His fingers just moved. It’s possible that the electric shock stimulated both his heart and brain. His heart has just started beating, and it may take a few minutes for blood to supply oxygen to his brain. Let’s wait until his body temperature returns to normal and see if he can wake up!” Ye Feng spoke in a low voice. “If he doesn’t wake up, we’ll proceed to the next step and stimulate his brain.”
As Ye Feng had predicted, Long Tian slowly opened his eyes and blinked several times. As everything around him became clear, he finally saw Ye Feng and the others standing in front of him.
“Weren’t I dead?” Long Tian asked, puzzled, looking at Ye Feng.
“Brother Long, you’re not dead. You just fell asleep,” Ye Feng said with a smile, shaking his head.
“Yue’er?” Long Tian saw Long Yue beside Ye Feng.
“Brother…” Tears welled up in Long Yue’s eyes.
“Don’t cry… silly girl…” Long Tian reached out and held her hand.
Long Chen watched his son wake up but didn’t approach. Instead, he turned and left sadly…
When Zhuge Ling’er and the others came over, Long Yue realized her father had already left. She pulled Ye Feng aside and said in a low voice, “Stay with my brother for a while. I’ll go see my father…”
“No problem!” Ye Feng agreed readily.
Then Long Yue pulled Lu Zhan aside as well. “Lu Zhan, stay with Ling’er for a while. I’ll go see my father. My brother has just woken up and needs more rest. Ye Feng will be here with him!”
“Mm, leave it to me!” Lu Zhan showed an understanding expression.

“Ling’er, I’ll ask Lu Zhan to show you around later. Long Tian brother has just woken up, so we shouldn’t make too much noise!” Yue’er gave Ling’er a ‘you know what I mean’ expression.
“Oh.” Zhuge Ling’er immediately understood that Long Yue was referring to her being a bit noisy. She stuck out her tongue shyly and said, “Then Long Tian brother, please rest well. I won’t disturb you today!”
“Have fun!” Long Tian winked at her.
“Brother, let me ask Ye Feng to keep you company. I still have some other things to do. I’ll come see you after I’m done!” After saying that, Long Yue took Zhuge Ling’er and Lu Zhan and left.
“Brother Long… are you feeling okay…” Ye Feng was worried that Long Tian was still thinking about their previous rift.
“Better than ever!” Long Tian sat up quickly, his agility leaving Ye Feng in awe.
“Well, he does seem energetic…” Ye Feng said, a bit speechless.
“Xiao Feng, did you really figure out the secret of the gold coin that Liu Hai gave you?” Long Tian suddenly lowered his voice.
“Did you hear that?” Ye Feng was slightly stunned and took a while to react.
“What do you think?” Long Tian smiled indifferently.
“How could you have heard that?” Ye Feng was still confused.
“Actually, I wasn’t unconscious. I could see everything happening outside—the time you found me at the farmhouse, the battle against the vampires, then my return to the Long family, and everything that’s happened to me since then…” Long Tian explained. “It’s just that I saw it with my mind, not with my eyes. The reason I haven’t woken up is that my consciousness couldn’t return to my body. When you shocked my body with electricity, my consciousness came in through my dantian…”
“I asked you to leave because I was about to fight Pearl. I couldn’t get you involved. Also, there was a traitor in our organization back then. I just didn’t know who it was, so I deliberately broke off relations with you in front of everyone to make Pearl realize we weren’t connected and stop bothering you. It turned out that Pearl fell for it too.” Long Tian laughed.
“Why didn’t you tell me in advance?” Ye Feng was speechless.
“If I had told you, I was worried you might reveal something.” Long Tian admitted sheepishly.
Hearing this, Ye Feng still wasn’t happy at all.
“Alright, then as compensation, I’ll tell you a secret. You mustn’t tell anyone!” Seeing that Ye Feng was still unhappy, Long Tian acted mysteriously.

“A secret that’s voluntarily revealed isn’t even a real secret…” Ye Feng turned his head to the side.
“Hey, aside from me, no one else knows about this yet. I’m only telling you because I regard you as my own brother. If you don’t want to hear it, then I’ll keep this secret to myself.” Long Tian continued to tease Ye Feng.
“Then tell me!” Ye Feng still looked skeptical.
“Don’t tell anyone, not even Long Yue!” Long Tian reiterated.
Hearing this, Ye Feng hesitated slightly about whether to learn the secret.
“I know why I’ve been unable to transform my internal true energy into innate true energy all these years.” Long Tian’s face was filled with excitement. “After falling into a coma, I discovered I could see inside my body and saw a red seal on my dantian. During my coma, as my life force declined, that seal began to release energy to replenish it. After being shocked by your electric shock, the seal accelerated the release of energy and eventually disappeared completely, and at the same time, I broke through the innate realm… reaching another level…”
“You mean…” Ye Feng’s face showed surprise.
“That’s right. And… after comparing my strength, I found it’s not just that—I’m now much stronger than that vampire you killed back then…” Long Tian’s words shocked Ye Feng completely.
“That vampire was already a baron over two hundred years ago. Even if his strength wasn’t at the peak of a baron, it should have been at least in the later stages… You mean your current strength has surpassed his level?” Ye Feng raised his doubts.
“That’s right. According to some ancient books of the Dragon family I’ve read, after reaching the innate realm, there’s a long Dan Condensation period, during which energy in the body is condensed into a solid energy sphere in the dantian. After completing this process, a sphere appears in the dantian, which is what’s known as the Golden Dan stage. Right now, I have such a thing in my dantian…” Long Tian smiled proudly at Ye Feng.
“Is there really such a thing?” Ye Feng still found it hard to believe such legendary claims.
“Well, the one in my body isn’t golden; it’s purple, with electric sparks swirling on its surface.” Long Tian nodded. “The books say that after breaking through the innate realm, one can see inside their body and observe its microscopic state. When you reach the Dan Condensation stage, you’ll be able to see your own internal condition as well.”

“Wait, let me take a look!” Ye Feng hurriedly took out the detector and put it on his nose. “Target data exceeds the query range…” That was all that appeared on the detector; it was the first time Ye Feng had encountered such a situation.
