52 Chapter 52, What Did Yujian Awakens?

Li Yuhan has successfully awakened his bloodline, now it's Li Yujian's turn. After Li Jain carefully prepared the medicine bath, he began to draw a barrier formation around them, in case something goes wrong, he wants the others to be implicated. He has a feeling that whatever Li Yujian awakens today is going to be dangerous. Better safe than sorry.

The little guys watched their father's actions and were puzzled. They didn't know why their father was being extra cautious, hopefully, brother Yujian won't be in danger.

After all the preparations were made, Li Jain called his eldest son over. "Yujian, it's your turn. Whatever happens later, make sure to hold on. Father is here, nothing will happen to you."

Yujian nodded at his father. "Yes, Father.'' This is a crucial moment in his cultivation journey, and he couldn't afford to back down. He has to succeed like the others.

With this thought in mind, Li Yujian sat in the medicinal bath, the warmth of the water enveloping his body like a gentle embrace. He closed his eyes, allowing the spiritual energy to seep into his pores, nourishing his weary body.

As time passed, however, Li Yujain began to feel a subtle change. The once gentle sensation turned into a sharp pain that coursed through his veins. He gritted his teeth, refusing to give in to the discomfort. He pressed his trembling hands against the sides of the tub, his knuckles turning white from the strain.

"Eldest brother is going be alright, won't he?" Li Juanxin asked worriedly.

"He will be fine. Relax, father is here." Jing Sheng assured him.

Yujian knew that enduring this agony was necessary for his growth. With every passing moment, he could feel his body becoming stronger, his spirit more resilient.

Suddenly, a surge of energy erupted within him. Li Yujian's eyes shot open, but before he could comprehend what was happening, he felt his qi being forcefully drawn away by an unknown source. Panic washed over him as he realized that something was amiss.

A gasp escaped his lips as he felt his spiritual energy being forcibly drained, sucked away by an unknown being. Panic coursed through his veins, his heart pounding in his chest like a caged bird.

"Oh no, Yujian is vomiting blood! Is this normal?" Li Yuhan exclaimed in concern.

"This has never happened before. I think something is wrong."

Li Jian sensed the imminent danger and reacted swiftly. With a flick of his wrist, he activates the protective formation. The symbols glowed with an ethereal light, creating a shield to block the energy from reaching the others.

Li Jain sat cross-legged beside his son, his own energy flowing freely. He focused his mind, channeling his spiritual qi into Li Yujian, hoping to stabilize his qi and protect him from harm. The transfer of energy was intense, but Li Jain knew that he had to do whatever it took to save his son.

Li Yujian coughed violently, spraying blood and bile everywhere. He gripped the side of the tub, desperately trying to steady himself so he wouldn't fall over.

Time seemed to stretch infinitely as the situation spiraled out of control. Li Jian, for the first time in his life, felt the icy tendrils of panic creeping up his spine. He couldn't bear the thought of losing his son to such an unpredictable fate. For the first time, he felt that the situation was beyond his control.

'Was this a mistake? Should I have never tried to awaken his bloodline?' Doubts begin to fill his mind. But what's the use of regret now? This has already been done! Li Jain felt that he'll never forgive himself if Yujian died here.

Determined to fight against the relentless current, he focused his energy and channeled it into Li Yujian, hoping to provide some reprieve.

…

The situation at the gate was out of hand. Some people were forcing their way in. If they were curious at first, now they're determined that something is happening in the spiritual Tavern!

"Damn, what is going on in there? What is absorbing the surrounding spiritual qi at such a speed?"

"I don't think I can wait any longer. With this amount of energy being absorbed, Qingyuan town will be in danger."

"Yeah, get out of the way and let us in. We need to know what is happening behind the gate!"

"I demand to know what is happening there!"

Those people thought that the Li family may have found a divine level artifact which was causing this abnormal phenomenon, and hence they decided to take action. They wanted to have it for themselves.

Zhou Lifen didn't know what was going on inside, but seeing how those people suddenly became aggressive, demanding entry. That's just too strange. He unsheathed his sword and intercepted their attacks.

…..

"Ding Weiyuan, go and help Zhou Lifen. Make sure not to kill anyone. Master is calling me." Liu Xiong instructed and rushed to the backyard.

In a desperate bid to save his son, Li Jian summoned Liu Xiong to help. As Liu Xiong rushed to their side, he immediately began channeling his own formidable energy into Li Yujian, adding to the pool of strength being infused into his body.

"Ghost energy? I want more, more…." The thing within Li Yujian screamed with excitement while crazily absorbing more energy.

Li Yujian who was sandwiched between them felt like his organs were being drained as well.

While channeling his energy to Yujian, Li Jain realized that the thing inside him wasn't just absorbing spiritual qi but was also trying to take over Yujian's body. Therefore, he summoned Liu Xiong to keep it distracted while he went to fetch the soul fortification pill.

At this moment, he didn't care that his space might be discovered, in a flash of blinding light, he vanished from sight and slipped into his dimensional space.

Within the depths of his hidden dimension, Li Jian desperately scoured the shelves, his hands brushing over ancient scrolls and sacred artifacts. Finally, his fingers closed around a small, modest vial—a soul fortification pill, infused with the essence of mythical creatures cores and herbs.

With the pill in his hand, Li Jian returned to the backyard in an instant. The chaos continued to consume the air, but he paid no heed to the confusion. His sole focus was on saving Yujian. Swiftly, he uncorked the vial and carefully fed the precious soul fortification pill to Li Yujian.

As the pill made its way down Li Yujian's throat, a surge of energy coursed through his body. It was as if the reliever had arrived. The pain that once consumed him now began to dissipate, gradually fading into the background.

The surrounding qi, once wild and uncontrollable, began to flow harmoniously into Li Yujian's body. Finally, the storm within Li Yujain settled, and he opened his eyes, gratitude shining in his gaze before he passed out. Li Jain also let out a long sigh of relief.

The question is, *What did Li Yujian awaken?* That almost cause him his life?
