Cultivation Online
chapter-493

"Miss Meifeng, is there anything you can do about this situation? Your word usually has a lot of weight within the Yu Family, especially with Yu Rou's father." Yuan asked her.

"Unfortunately, there is nothing I— or the Yu Family can do at this moment. Although the Yu Family hired those crooks to take Meixiu back, they are only doing it because of Chairman Zhao from the Cultivators' Association." Meifeng said.

"The Cultivators' Association is an incredibly powerful and influential background with the number of cultivators they have at their disposal, and they are only growing stronger by the day. The Yu Family does not wish to offend them, nor can they afford to, so they can only agree to help them obtain Meixiu."

"They're all treating Meixiu like some kind of object that can be owned because they want her! I have had enough of this! Miss Meifeng, take me to the Cultivators' Association tomorrow! I am going to speak with the Chairman." Yuan suddenly said, taking them by surprise.

"What? You're going to speak with him? Even if you do that, he has no reason to listen to you, and there's a good chance that he won't even meet you, much less speak with you." Meifeng said to him.

"Don't worry, I have a plan," Yuan said.

Meixiu and Meifeng turned to look at each other.

"Young Master, we can talk about this tomorrow. It's already super late, so you should get some rest for now. I will stay here with you tonight." Meifeng said.

"Really?" Yuan said, his voice filled with excitement.

"Yes, I will even share the bed with you… If you don't mind, that is."

"I don't!" Yuan immediately responded.

"Then allow me to get you to bed."

Meifeng then picked Yuan up from his wheelchair and carried him to his bedroom with ease.

"Miss Meifeng, are you cultivating?" Yuan suddenly asked her.

"Unfortunately, I have yet to start since I am usually busy with my work. Though I do intend on starting soon," she said.

"I see… Then do you have a cultivation technique yet? If not, I can help you obtain one." Yuan then said, surprising her a little.

"It's okay, Young Master. The Yu Family has a Heaven-grade cultivation technique they're willing to let me borrow. Even Yu Rou is currently using this cultivation technique, you know?" Meifeng said as she placed him on the bed.

"If you say so…"

"I will be back in a minute," Meifeng said a moment later before leaving the room to speak with Meixiu.

"Go get some rest. We will continue this tomorrow."

"Okay."

Meixiu nodded and entered her room shortly after.

Meifeng then returned to Yuan's room and got onto the bed with him, sleeping beside him.

"How long has it been since we last shared a bed?" Meifeng suddenly mumbled in a low voice.

"Too long…" Yuan said with a bittersweet smile on his face.

Meifeng closed her eyes, quickly falling asleep, as it was incredibly late into the night.

Yuan also fell asleep a few minutes later.

Shortly after Yuan fell asleep, unbeknownst to him or Meifeng, his body suddenly began emitting a faint golden glow, and within his body, the golden symbols were beginning to change, transforming into lines that resembled veins, eventually connecting with the other golden symbols.

Once all of the golden symbols within his body were connected, it began emitting a unique aura that caused the entire world to tremble.

However, since it was a relatively small earthquake and both Meifeng and Yuan were deep in their sleep, neither of them noticed it.

Only Meixiu, who couldn't sleep, had felt the earthquake.

As for Yuan's body, it was covered in these golden lines that looked like veins.

Furthermore, the Celestial Water he'd consumed in Cultivation Online finally started showing its true effects, allowing the golden veins to fully absorb it.

Indeed, most of the Celestial Water had actually been inactive until this point, and Yuan's significant boost in cultivation speed and improvements to his Divine Sense was only a small portion of the Celestial Water's power.

Once the golden symbols that were now golden veins absorbed the Celestial Water, it unattached itself from Yuan's bones and combined with his meridians, instantly doubling the size of his meridians, allowing spiritual energy to flow through them much quicker and more efficiently.

Every single time Yuan breathed, even though he wasn't actively cultivating, his body would absorb a massive amount of spiritual energy in the room, quickly emptying out the spiritual energy in his apartment.

When the spiritual energy in his room was completely absorbed by Yuan, his body would start to absorb a larger area until he started absorbing even the spiritual energy in the others' apartment, then it would expand to outside their apartment.

Eventually, the spiritual energy within the city started to disappear at a rapid rate, as it was all being absorbed by Yuan unconsciously.

This phenomenon shocked every cultivator in the city, as they were forced to stop cultivating due to the lack of spiritual energy in the city, and for the rest of the night, nobody living within Yuan's city was able to cultivate.

Meanwhile, Yuan's body unconsciously hoarded all of the spiritual energy in the city.

However, despite the massive amount of spiritual energy entering his body, Yuan's cultivation base remained untouched, almost as though it didn't receive any spiritual energy.

The golden vein in his body was a different story, as it began growing more and more veins until it literally covered every inch of Yuan's body from head to toe.

Eventually, the golden veins stopped glowing and appearing outside his body.

Meanwhile, inside Yuan's dream that started almost immediately after he fell asleep, Yuan stood before a massive jade tablet that had the word 'Destiny' engraved into it.

Of course, this wasn't Yuan's first time dreaming of this place, as it would appear inside his dream at least once a week ever since he awakened his bloodline.

However, there was something different about the dream this time, as he was not alone in this place.

Standing a few meters in front of him and before the jade tablet was a tall figure wearing black robes, silently emitting a divine aura that made it seem like he was there yet he wasn't at the same time.

Yuan was certain that he never met this figure before, nor could he see this person's face— only his straight back that oozes with confidence, yet he felt a familiar feeling from this person for some reason.

"Who are you?" Yuan decided to ask him after standing there in silence for a good minute.

"You need to wake up soon…" This person responded in a calm voice.

"Excuse me?"

The man turned around, showing his handsome face that somewhat resembled Yuan's face, but it was much more mature and handsome.

"How long do you plan on sleeping? If you sleep any longer, all of my— our effort will be in vain." The handsome man said.

And he continued, "Your woman is in danger, yet the only thing you can do is lay there and wait for her to be taken away from you. How pathetic. If it were me, I'd take my sword and slay everyone involved."

Yuan was speechless. Just who is this man and what is he talking about? And most importantly, why is he having this dream?
