Chapter 134: Shattering the Dan to Rebirth as an Infant

The crowd was utterly confused upon hearing Ye Feng’s cry. They had never encountered such a situation before—someone self-destructing their Yuan Ying. They had only read descriptions of this in ancient texts on the history of cultivation.
The self-destruction of a powerful being at the Yuan Ying stage could easily destroy half a city. Those within less than a hundred meters of Yu Wenzhuo would undoubtedly be reduced to dust the moment the explosion occurred!
At that moment, everything before their eyes blurred as Ye Feng suddenly disappeared from his original location and reappeared right in front of Yu Wenzhuo, his right hand piercing through his abdomen and reaching into his dantian.
Yu Wenzhuo stared in horror at Ye Feng’s actions. He could clearly feel the hand inside his dantian gripping his Yuan Ying, which he had tried to detonate. He tried to push Ye Feng away, but his body was completely out of control.
The moment Ye Feng touched Yu Wenzhuo’s Yuan Ying, a surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted from it, flowing into Yu Wenzhuo’s body through Ye Feng’s fingers.
Ye Feng didn’t dare slack off. This spiritual energy wasn’t meant to attack him—it was the energy that Yu Wenzhuo had secretly accumulated in his dantian and just injected into his Yuan Ying to trigger its explosion. If this energy hadn’t been released, the Yuan Ying would have exploded like a balloon filled with too much air.
By touching the Yuan Ying, Ye Feng provided another outlet for the energy to be discharged. All the excess energy would be expelled through this point.
Ye Feng rapidly activated the cultivation techniques within his body to absorb the excess energy into his own dantian. For now, this was the only way he could mitigate the situation. But he knew that if his dantian absorbed enough energy before the discharge of the Yuan Ying stopped, he might explode from the sheer pressure of the spiritual energy.
“Come and help!!!” Ye Feng managed to spare some attention to shout at Long Tian and the others, who were still in a daze.
Wudao and Kongxu were the fastest to react. As veterans of the cultivation world on Earth, they roughly understood that Ye Feng was using a method similar to Dayu controlling floods to channel Yu Wenzhuo’s internal energy.
They appeared almost simultaneously behind Ye Feng, placing their hands on his shoulders.
“Channel the energy into our bodies. He just injected into his Yuan Ying all the spiritual energy stored in his dantian—many times more than what the Yuan Ying can contain. Your body can’t handle that much energy!” Wudao shouted at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng did not respond. At this moment, the slightest distraction might cause Yuwen Zhuo to explode. He guided the spiritual energy that had invaded his body along the pathways of his own cultivation technique, circulating it once around his body before filtering it through his dantian before sending it into the bodies of Wudao and Kongxu.

“Come and help us! The three of us simply can’t handle such a large amount of spiritual energy!” Kongxu shouted at the others.

Long Tian wanted to come over, but after taking just two steps, he glanced at Nikola, who was still sitting there. Worried that Nikola might act while everyone else was dealing with the Yuan Ying’s self-explosion, he chose to observe from the side.

The others also knew that if they didn’t help, once Yuwen Zhuo successfully exploded, they too might become victims if they couldn’t escape the blast zone in time. So they placed their hands on the shoulders of Wudao and Kongxu.

Even Pei Hong and Dracula joined in, leaving only Long Tian and Nikola as observers.

Wudao glanced at Long Tian and Nikola sitting on the ground. He knew Long Tian had concerns, and since nothing seemed to go wrong during the transfer of spiritual energy, the crisis seemed less severe. Instead of urging Long Tian to help, he focused on guiding the energy.

With the help of Wudao and the others, Ye Feng clearly felt less pressure and became more skilled at controlling the violent spiritual energy inside his body.

Previously, he had to release the energy after one full cycle, but now he accelerated the circulation within his body, performing two cycles before releasing it. As a result, his dantian acquired even more energy than before.

With this change, Wudao and the others noticeably felt the pressure decrease. They were secretly amazed that Ye Feng had adapted to this rhythm in just a few moments. Not only did he not get flustered by the influx of violent energy, but he could also adjust the flow of spiritual energy according to his needs.

Ye Feng could sense that the high concentration of spiritual energy in his dantian was starting to affect his Golden Dan. His Golden Dan, which was already at its peak and unable to absorb more energy, began to show signs of activity due to the abundant spiritual energy in his dantian.

Ye Feng naturally noticed this change as well. He knew it was a precursor to the transformation from the Golden Dan stage to the Infant stage. Usually, after reaching the peak of the Golden Dan stage, the Golden Dan would refuse to absorb energy as usual, instead actively absorbing the highly concentrated spiritual energy particles in the dantian at a very slow pace—a state that couldn’t even be detected by ordinary internal observation. Yet Ye Feng could sense that after reaching the peak of the Golden Dan stage, his Golden Dan was improving itself in a special way, rather than being in a dormant state as ordinary experts at that stage believed.

Once this self-improvement reached a certain level, it would break the silence and start absorbing energy frantically once again—this was the moment when the transformation from the Golden Dan to the Infant stage would occur.

Including the time spent in the cultivation realm, Ye Feng’s Golden Dan had remained silent for two and a half years. For someone with his rapid cultivation speed, this process was already extremely slow. After all, it had taken him less than half a year to reach the Golden Dan stage from an ordinary person.

Seeing this change in his Golden Dan, Ye Feng was filled with joy and excitement.

He carefully controlled his spiritual energy to flow into his dantian in a steady manner, filtering and compressing the spiritual energy there while sending away the excess. Ye Feng repeated this process over and over. After an unknown amount of time, the Golden Dan in his dantian finally began to rotate.

As the Golden Dan spun, the pure spiritual energy in the entire dantian was stirred into a vortex, rotating rapidly around it.

Ye Feng clearly felt that his Golden Dan was absorbing the spiritual energy in his dantian at an astonishing rate. In less than a minute, all the spiritual energy he had accumulated in his dantian was exhausted.

At this moment, Wudao and the others finally noticed the changes in Ye Feng. Having experienced the transformation from the Golden Dan to the Infant stage themselves, they naturally understood what was happening to him.

The two exchanged a glance, stopped drawing spiritual energy from Ye Feng’s body, but didn’t dare pull their hands away. What worried them now wasn’t whether the energy released by Yuwen Zhuo’s Infant stage entity would blow Ye Feng apart, but whether the remaining spiritual energy in Yuwen Zhuo’s body would be sufficient for Ye Feng to break through to the Infant stage after such a long period of guidance.

Several people behind Wudao and Kongxu also realized what was happening after sensing the abnormal fluctuations in the spiritual energy in the air.

They removed their hands from the two men’s shoulders and watched from the side as the protagonist of this event—Ye Feng—unfolded its course.

“Concentrate your mind and, following the path of energy flow within your body, guide the spiritual energy from Yuwen Zhuo into your own dantian. Don’t worry about it bursting your dantian—at this moment, you can increase the speed of energy flow to the maximum to achieve infanthood in one attempt! Shattering the dantian requires a large amount of spiritual energy and is a painful process; try to succeed in one go!”
“If Yuwen Zhuo’s energy is insufficient and the shattering fails, the two of us will help you make a second attempt to achieve true infanthood!” The voice of Wudao was transmitted clearly to Ye Feng’s ears through the authentic Buddhist concentration spell, giving him even more confidence.
“Since Master Wudao says so, absorbing energy at full strength should not harm my dantian!” Ye Feng thought to himself. “Then I don’t need to be polite with this Yuwen Zhuo either.”
With that thought, Ye Feng had no more reservations. He reached out again with his fingers gripping Yuwen Zhuo’s infant form and took hold of it entirely in his palm. He activated the energy absorption method from the second level of the Military Canon at full strength, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy from Yuwen Zhuo.
Yuwen Zhuo clearly felt what was happening inside his body—energy that had originally flowed out on its own was now being forcibly absorbed by Ye Feng, which shocked him.
He hadn’t expected Ye Feng’s technique to be so domineering. The amount of energy that usually took over a dozen people to absorb was now not even enough for Ye Feng. He had experienced shattering the dantian to achieve infanthood before, but it had never required such a massive amount of spiritual energy as Ye Feng did.
In just a few minutes, Ye Feng saw a hair-thin crack appear on his golden dantian. Under the impact of energy, that crack grew visibly faster and deeper.
As energy was poured in wildly, the entire golden dantian eventually shattered into pieces, like a glass ball falling from great height. Those tiny fragments disappeared quickly under the force of energy, while the larger remnants shrank rapidly as well.
A few more minutes passed, and under Ye Feng’s focused attention, the last remaining fragment vanished. Ye Feng knew that the process of shattering the dantian was complete. Next was shaping the infant form.
The energy within Ye Feng’s dantian gradually condensed into transparent droplet-like shapes. Those droplets began to gather together on their own, and under Ye Feng’s watch, they slowly took on the shape of an infant.

As the water droplets continued to gather, the infant gradually grew from the size of a rice grain to half the size of a palm before stopping.
Ye Feng watched curiously the scene within his body. As far as he knew, a Yuan Ying shouldn’t look like this.
Sure enough, as soon as this thought crossed his mind, the Yuan Ying inside him changed again.
External spiritual energy began to flow directly into the Yuan Ying, giving it a translucent color mixed with a hazy white. At first, the white was very faint, but as more spiritual energy flowed in, it gradually turned from a misty pale white into a thick, milk-like consistency.
As more energy was supplied, the infant’s limbs gradually stretched out, and its facial features such as eyes and nose became clearer—resembling a miniature version of Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was overjoyed at these miraculous changes within his body.
Suddenly, the Yuan Ying opened its eyes and gave Ye Feng a slight smile. Ye Feng realized he had successfully formed a Yuan Ying.
A shockwave arose in his mental sea, and a beam of golden light broke through the limits of his mental sea, shining on the forehead of the Yuan Ying. Ye Feng immediately felt as though something new had appeared in his mind.
Almost at the same time, he sensed that the flow of spiritual energy within his body had slowed down, returning to its normal speed. Puzzled, he pulled his consciousness back to his body and found that the Yuan Ying in his hand had stopped sending energy and was now only half its previous size.
Surprised, Ye Feng released his grip on the Yuan Ying.
Wudao and Kongxu, seeing Ye Feng’s actions, knew his Yuan Ying had been formed and removed their hands from his shoulders.
“Success?” The two looked at Ye Feng with smiles on their faces.
“Mm,” Ye Feng nodded as well.
At that moment, a tiny figure no larger than a palm jumped out from Yuwen Zhuo’s abdomen. Before Ye Feng and the others could fully react, it rushed away into the distance, causing Yuwen Zhuo’s body to collapse heavily to the ground.
