Now that he could sense True Chaotic Qi clearly, Yuan temporarily stopped absorbing the Chaotic Essence to focus on studying it.
His sudden pause caused the Queen Wraith of Demise to raise her eyebrows.
"Are you... done?" She questioned him shortly after.
"No, I am just taking a break," he calmly replied before falling into complete silence again.
Very quickly, Yuan realized that the Supreme Chaotic Dragon Core not only helped him sense True Chaotic Qi better, but it even helped with his comprehension, allowing him to study it with more ease.
<Your understanding of True Chaotic Qi has improved significantly>
It didn’t take long before Yuan started to grasp the essence of the energy. Perhaps it was because of his Supreme Chaotic Dragon Core, or that he’d already mastered Celestial Qi, but he was progressing much faster than usual.
Several weeks into his training, Yuan suddenly fell into a trance-like state.
He had entered the state of Enlightenment.
’What is he doing?’
The Queen Wraith of Demise could sense the atmosphere around Yuan shifting, along with his aura. However, she had never seen someone enter a state of Enlightenment before, leaving her both intrigued and puzzled.
Supreme Ruler Dena, who was watching from afar with her divine sense, also noticed this change and became somewhat worried.
Although demons could also experience Enlightenment, it was far more uncommon. Moreover, they would emit a different aura, so Supreme Ruler Dena had no idea what was happening to Yuan at this moment.
"If Celestial Qi embodies the essence of life... then the true essence of True Chaotic Qi is to consume it!"
A year into his Enlightenment, Yuan’s eyes snapped open, gleaming with a profound light. The aura around him changed drastically, as though something unseen was bowing before him.
<You have fully comprehended the essence of True Chaotic Qi!>
<You can now wield True Chaotic Qi!>
Unlike Celestial Qi, which was its own separate energy from ordinary Qi and Immortal Qi, True Chaotic Qi already existed within Chaotic Essence. However, only those who comprehend True Chaotic Qi are capable of sensing it and wield it.
After comprehending True Chaotic Qi, Yuan finally understood why ordinary cultivators couldn’t use their spiritual energy normally when surrounded by Chaotic Essence. It was because the True Chaotic Qi within it was extremely sensitive to spiritual energy and would actively absorb it.
True Chaotic Qi didn’t merely respond to spiritual energy; it was attracted to anything spiritual in nature. As such, entities like Nether Wraiths, which were completely spectral, became its prime targets.
Moreover, not only could it absorb energy, but it can use that energy to strengthen itself. In a way, it was similar to Yuan’s physique, which can absorb all sorts of energy and turn it into his own power.
Yuan had a strong desire to test out his newfound strength, but with the Queen Wraith of Demise nearby, Yuan didn’t want to make her feel threatened.
Thus, he started to absorb the rest of the Chaotic Essence from the black mountain.
Even though he’d already formed five additional Chaotic Hearts, he had only absorbed about a third of the available Chaotic Essence, so he could easily create a few more.
