Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

"Well," the golden dragon paused for a moment before adding, "like an ocean of stars, each can provide you with enough energy to last a whole battle."

"Ocean of stars… hmm…" he thought deeply about the words of his golden dragon before muttering, "then it shouldn't be a star dantian or black hole dantian, or even a constellar dantian," he paused before making up his mind, "it should be an entire universe, one of its own. But…"

He stopped at this point while opening his eyes. "To do that I need a medium," he said while ceasing to say anymore.

"Ding! What are you hesitating for?" the system suddenly asked before adding, "Ding! This is one of its functions and roles."

Arthur nodded as he asked, "how can I absorb it then?"

"Ding! It's already inside your soul."

"What the hell are you two speaking about?" the golden dragon said while feeling frustrated of being the only one without a clue.

"Ding! I'll explain to you," the system said before adding, "Ding! You can simply merge it with your embryo dantian by mere thinking of it."

Arthur nodded as he closed up his eyes again and returned to his way of breathing.

The first thing he did was to accumulate as much spiritual energy as his body could handle. Despite having a strong dragonair body and vast dragonair's energy, his body was still weak in terms of cultivation.

So he carefully stored up spiritual energy inside his body and it took him roughly an hour to do so. "I think I'm ready to hit the dantian and start forming it," he said to himself while feeling the small amount he accumulated during this hour.

"Sigh, it's really exhausting and frustrating seeing this minute amount and even my body can hardly handle it," he shook his head before starting to stir up this spiritual energy, moving them towards his dantian.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The moment the energy hit the fragile membrane of the embryo dantian, these booming sounds hit his body and soul, making him quite uncomfortable. "C'mon, penetrate it," despite being strongly shaken from inside, he didn't stop hitting the membrane and pushing the energy deeper.

Each time a booming sound assaulted him, his energy lost a portion of it. Yet when it finally entered his dantian, he felt a strange relief and a relaxed feeling that he only felt once in his past life.

"This feeling… is priceless," he muttered.

"Ding! Hurry and think of it and start moving it towards your dantian," the system urged.

"Calm down, I know," he confidently said before starting to wake himself from this mesmerizing feeling. The next moment he thought of one thing; his star map.

The star map was one of his biggest assets, and it was the only thing he had right now to help him in what he wanted to do. Yet he was skeptical about using it, fearing to damage the map or even completely lose it.

Yet after the reassurance of his system, he made up his mind and decided to use it. The moment he thought of it, he felt some connection with a mysterious place inside his body. "it's there," he said before he tried to move it.

The star map appeared like a tiny shining blue dot coming from far, like a small star walking slowly and crossing a small distance like it was so vast. He was patiently waiting while keeping his breathing rhythm and injecting the new energy towards his newly forming dantian.

He knew this was the most important and very critical moment of forming the dantian. Any tiny mistake and the backlash would be severe and the damage might be severe enough to leave him crippled for the rest of his life.

So he waited, and after three hours the blue star finally reached his slowly expanding dantian.

"Rumble!"

This time the entrance of the star inside the dantian caused a severe reaction that made him cough blood and his face turned ashen white; yet he didn't open his eyes or even thought about anything except completing his dantian.

"A dantian without meridians is simply a crippled dantian," he reminded himself of what he heard and told endless times to newly recruited disciples at his sect.

As the star map entered the dantian, he knew the amount of energy stored in there wasn't enough. Besides the size of this newly formed dantian wouldn't suit the strong star map.

So he had to act fast, and his steps didn't show any hesitation while he endured the pain of opening his long closed meridians.

Doing so made him feel like cutting his flesh with a blunt knife, tearing apart his body while he kept pushing the energy with utmost care towards the first node.

This node rested in his pelvis, and he selected it first as it was the nearest and one of the most connected node to others in his body. "Just a little longer," after hours of trying he was almost near the node, and he tried to encourage himself more to endure the pain and wait for a little longer.

"Swoosh!"

The moment the energy penetrated the fragile membrane of the node, he felt like spilling water from a small pot into a vast container. "Phew, now it's time to fill it," he made such progress yet he couldn't even rest a second yet.

He was so close to finishing up building his dantian and the first closed circuit of meridians and nodes inside his body. He continued to breath slowly and steadily while moving all the energy he inhaled towards his dantian then pushing it towards the node to fill both up.

His dantian now looked almost empty like his node, and filling both up proved to be quite challenging and a long task that took roughly a day.

When both were filled up finally, he started pushing his energy outside his node. The node had a complex network of meridians, and he aimed for one of those heading upwards towards his chest, neck, and head.
