Child of Destiny

...…

Uno meditated and circulated the Sacred Qi within him, trying to cleanse his meridians and energy channels with it, while the Divinity Grade Mental Energy was suppressing the Primal Demonic Energy and trapping it within his dantian.

He was just preparing his body for the next step since it could put a lot of burden on his meridians once the Scared Qi evolved and circulated throughout his body along with the Primal Demonic Energy.

This process would quite a while since Uno was not in an ideal place meant for focused cultivation. His environment was not suitable for this method since he would not have enough 'Force of Nature' to promote the Sacred Qi to the next level.

But given his strong connection with nature due to his special existence, he was able to draw more energy from it compared to other people.

Moreover, the energies within the Springfield Household were also way better than in other places, both in quality and quantity. However, it was still far from the ideal amount that Uno required for this situation.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

As he focused more on his Qi circulation, the energies within his body were gradually gaining momentum as twent by. Because of this, his absorption of energy from the surroundings was also getting faster to keep up with his circulation.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In response, the Force of Nature within the room was immediately exhausted. But Uno did not stop and pulled more from other places.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Due to the strong suction force that Uno was emitting, the air within the room moved in a spiral motion slowly gaining momentum and gradually getting stronger.

Not long after, it becpowerful and turned into a hurricane of energy that was centered around Uno.

The strong gale was only present within the room, but it was pulling all the energies that it could reach from the whole household, which made the experts in the middle of their meditation and training in their respective martial arts sense it.

They all frowned due to being disturbed before turning toward the direction where the disturbance was coming from.

"What is this troublemaker doing this time?" mumbled David as he frowned deeply.

He had just gotten out of the gaming cabin since Alyssa just messaged him that their master was summoning him. From his room, he was able to immediately notice that the Force of Nature was being pulled toward Shin's room.

Upon using his Enlightened Eyes, he was able to see that Uno was sitting cross-legged on the floor and meditating at the center of the room.

Reading the movements of the energies spiraling around Uno and seeing them being absorbed like nothing despite their overwhelming amount, David could not help but frown even deeper. "Is he planning to break through right now? But that is not what he said topreviously."

He was not sure what Uno was planning to do, but he knew that he had to prevent any disturbance from distracting him.

Without even changing his clothes, he rushed toward Shin's room as fast as he could. He only used a special technique to wash over his body to remove the sweat and cleanse the odor that he currently had.

Naturally, he was not the only one who thought about this as Nathan, who had just cback from the military base, and Old Samuel, who was reading in his study earlier, were already guarding the room and preventing anyone from entering.

"Sir Nathan, Elder Samuel," greeted David while slightly bowing as he walked over them.

The two briefly nodded to acknowledge his presence before turning their attention back to the room. Even if there was a wall or a door dividing them, their senses could still let them 'see' what was happening inside the room.

Both of them were squinting their eyes as they closely observed what Uno was doing.

This kind of phenomenon was not something ordinary. It was not their first tseeing it as those at their level could achieve. A few blessed or talented individuals could achieve such a feat when they were at the Void Manifestation Stage while those with a deeper connection with nature could achieve the sfeat at the peak of the Ethereal Opening Stage.

It was because those in the Ascension Realm had a strong connection to nature. After all, this realm itself focused on being an integral part of nature.

But there had never been anyone who could achieve such a feat at the Foundation Building Realm no matter how blessed or talented they were.

But contrary to what they knew, Uno was doing something similar with such a level of strength. Moreover, he was doing it with ease, without showing any difficulty or obstruction.

The expression on their faces beceven more serious when they realized that this was just the start. The spiral of energies was starting to pick the pace and grow faster and stronger.

At the stime, Uno responded to it and devoured everything as if he were a bottomless pit.

They thought that Uno was doing this to break through at first, but they later realized that it was not the case after observing the circulation of energies within Uno's body a little closer.

Then these two peak experts realized that it was because of the special circulation technique that Uno had achieved such a feat.

Adding a natural gift that Uno possessed, which let him connect with nature naturally, he managed to achieve something that no one had ever done before.

"What an interesting technique. It is neither a pure Martial Arts nor any other discipline," commented Old Samuel as his eyes turned narrower. "At this point, it is more like a special method used by those old cultivators of the past – is it a Cultivation Technique?"

"But it is following a different principle compared to the Cultivation Techniques that are left behind by our ancestors," the old man quickly rejected the idea after seeing that Uno's technique was leaning towards the principles of modern martial arts rather than the ancient cultivation techniques.

Moreover, it greatly resembled the Yin-Yang Arts of Professor Plum, which he was very familiar with. But it also carried sproperties that he was unaware of, which made it more complicated than what it already had been and somewhat special at the stime.

Regardless, he still found that whatever Uno was trying to do, it still greatly piqued his interest.

"What is this kid trying to do?" mumbled Nathan as he frowned.

It was at this point when a presence suddenly appeared beside them and explained. "He is trying to return the balance of the energies within his body."

Nathan turned to his side and found Evangeline had suddenly appeared without making any sign. 'She has beceven more powerful.'

Nathan was aware of her presence, but he only realized it when she was a few meters away from him. He might be focusing on what was happening inside the room, but that did not mean he lowered his guard at all.

If not for certain circumstances, he would want to spar against her at least once.

He threw that thought at the back of his head before turning to her. "What do you mean by that?"

Despite his and his father keeping a close eye on what was happening to Uno and everything within his body, they could not see any deeper than what was shown at the surface due to how special Uno's existence was.

They could not see through him unlike when they were looking at Shin. It was as if a veil was shrouding Uno's secrets and preventing anyone from peering through it.

Evangeline set up an isolation barrier that enveloped the room to prevent others from spying inside. She also set up another to isolate themselves from the outside and prevent their conversation from being overheard by the others.

Seeing that, Nathan suddenly chuckled. "You are being too cautious. No one will dare to spy on us in this place, especially when we can sense them with such a small space."

He understood if she kept her disguise all the tsince they could not afford to let anyone see her accidentally.

"It will never hurt to be extra careful. You should be aware that 'their' can reach everywhere," said Evangeline.

Even though she fully trusted Nathan and the Springfield Family, she had to always be careful since they would never know what could happen, especially after experiencing that betrayal years ago.

After that, she continued. "As you already know, Shin possessed the Demonic Energy and was able to wield it after inheriting it from his father. But it is also somewhat corrupting the body, which also makes the Seed of Hatred to be more active."

"To suppress it, he must use the Sacred Qi nurtured by Professor Plum's Yin-Yang Arts to create a balance while also cleansing the corruption."

"But since the Uno's consciousness has been awakened once again, and because his connection is stronger, Demonic Energy becmore powerful and transformed into its Primal Form."

"This breaks the balance between the two energies, which is slowly crumbling to the point that even Shin's Divinity Grade Mental Energy is unable to suppress it."

She paused for a moment to focus on Uno before continuing. "The power of the Seed of Hatred must be leaking even with my seal. This is increasing its influence on the 'vessel', making taking over it much easier when the next Demonic Possession happens."

"Thus, Uno must have to promote the Sacred Qi into a higher form so that the balance will be restored. Once successful, he will be able to cleanse the body from the corruption that the Primal Demonic Energy has caused."

Hearing that, Nathan and Old Samuel frowned. The latter turned to her and asked. "That is easier said than done. It will be nothing to people of our level, but it is impossible for someone on the Foundation Realm."

Evangeline smiled mysteriously as she replied. "He might be just an alter ego, but his existence is quite special."

"You should already be aware of that by now," she then turned to the two as she added. "He should be needing more Force of Nature. Can I set up a Gathering Array here so that he can have more supply of energy?"

Old Samuel waved his hand, indicating that he did not care.

Getting the person, Evangeline nodded her hand before waving at David, who kept silent up until now. "Prepare the materials."

David nodded as he took out a bunch of things from his dimensional bag while Evangeline opened the door and entered.
