Chen Guan felt the primordial energy in his body boiling, like water brought to a boil, becoming increasingly intense.

Chen Guan immediately sensed something was very wrong; this phenomenon of boiling primordial energy was clearly abnormal.

According to the Technique of the Secret Technique of One, his primordial energy should undergo normal alienation, acquiring the support of external force, gradually transforming and adding attributes from the external force, forming a type of alien elemental energy through its transformation.

However, the alienation of the primordial energy inside his body was completely different from what he expected.

Under the influence of the external force, namely the energy of the Vermilion Fruit, the temperature of the primordial energy kept rising, part of it resembling steam from boiling water, making Chen Guan's whole body unbearably hot, as if he were being steamed alive.

This increase in temperature continued, even more frightening was that with only a small part of the primordial energy heating up, Chen Guan was already unable to bear it.

If all his primordial energy boiled, and the temperature kept rising, even if his body wasn't cooked, his brain would suffer damage at such high temperatures, leaving him severely impaired even if he survived.

Chen Guan suddenly realized the root of the problem; others' primordial energy was stored in the Sea of Qi, so even if this boiling occurred, it would be limited to the Sea of Qi.

Moreover, the Sea of Qi is divided into upper, middle, and lower parts. If one Sea of Qi couldn't handle alienation, there were ways to divert primordial energy into other Seas of Qi for buffer and digestion.

But Chen Guan's secret technique was different; his primordial energy was fused with his flesh and bones, omnipresent in his body.

The boiling of primordial energy affected his entire body, with no buffer zone whatsoever.

Worse still, he had 512 points of primordial energy, which was too much to discharge. If all this primordial energy boiled, Chen Guan's body would be cooked instantly.

Chen Guan speculated that the boiling of the primordial energy was due to the Spirit Devouring God's blood on the Vermilion Fruit; no other normal Second Awakening caused primordial energy to boil like this.

"What should I do?" Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Guan's mind, and he made a swift decision.

Chen Guan activated Returning to the True Self, aiming to use its effects to eject all primordial energy from his body in a short time.

Even if he couldn't complete the Second Awakening, it was better than being cooked by primordial energy.

As long as he preserved his life, he'd have a chance to awaken again in the future. If dead, nothing would matter.

Returning to the True Self was activated, but Chen Guan discovered that the primordial energy couldn't be expelled; instead of being expelled like Xiu Jie Ming, the boiling primordial energy was pressed into the cells by Returning to the True Self.

In almost an instant, Chen Guan's whole body turned red-hot, like a steamed crab.

"Damn it... this is my death!" Chen Guan hastily deactivated Returning to the True Self, but it was too late; his entire body had already been heated by the boiling primordial energy, and his brain felt like it was burning, almost unable to think.

"There must be a way... there must be a way…" Chen Guan strained the last bit of his mental capacity to figure out a solution, but the redness in his body nearly incapacitated his brain.

"The Emperor Ancestor created the Secret Technique of One... they couldn't have overlooked this issue... with large amounts of primordial energy alienating under any condition... even without this boiling problem... there would be other issues..." Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Chen Guan's mind, and almost without hesitation, he began summoning Ming Fei.

Strands of Star Gauze emerged from Chen Guan's body, enveloping him layer by layer.

Chen Guan felt a trace of coolness on his body, providing a sense of relief to his almost steamed-alive body, like rain after a long drought, immediately feeling much better.

At the same time, familiar primordial energy flowed back into his body. Chen Guan seized this last lifeline and operated the Emperor's Scripture.

Void Marvelous Gauze formed into a large sphere, with mysterious radiance flowing inside, like a dragon swimming, a phoenix playing, a blazing sun, or a bright moon.

It took over a dozen hours for the radiance inside to slowly settle down.

Until the radiance completely dissipated, the Void Marvelous Gauze covering the outside also dematerialized into particles, returning to Chen Guan's body.

Chen Guan seemed to emit a faint halo, appearing somewhat different than before; not only had his body changed, but his demeanor slightly altered as well.

In the instant Chen Guan opened his eyes, his gaze seemed to contain countless stars, resembling the paradox of day and night, momentarily causing a blur that made it hard to discern whether he was a person or a vessel of the universe.

This state did not last long, as the anomalies on Chen Guan's body quickly vanished, returning to normal.

Chen Guan self-examined his information and indeed had undergone a Second Awakening, rising to level 11.

The primordial energy, as expected, reached 1024 points, but that wasn't the important change; the key lay in the transformation of the primordial energy itself.

Previously, the information only listed two words: primordial energy. Now it had changed to "spiritual power," which seemed normal yet slightly extraordinary.

Normally, generic alien true qi would have names like XX Primordial Energy, XX True Qi, or XX True Essence, whereas Chen Guan's alien elemental energy lacked both "Yuan" and "Qi" characters, which was extremely rare.

Chen Guan attempted to use spiritual power, instantly conjuring an Asura Saber, black as crystal, in his hand.

"This is..." Chen Guan looked at the Evil Asura Saber in his hand, feeling it with a touch, filled with surprise and joy.

The alien elemental energy was only a kind of qi, incapable of truly solidifying, while his spiritual power had actually condensed into the tangible Evil Asura Saber.

The earlier Evil Asura Saber was just qi, forming a Qi Blade like mist, though harmful, it wasn't substantial.

However, with spiritual power, the Evil Asura Saber was transparent like crystal, having a tangible crystalline texture upon touching, far outmatching the former qi-shaped Asura Saber in strength.

Of course, spiritual power wasn't truly material and could only temporarily maintain this state; once spiritual power depleted, the crystal-like Asura Blade would instantly vaporize and dissipate.

But this singular change already indicated the inherent potency of spiritual power, transcending the mere gas nature, between qi and substance.

Chen Guan could only gradually explore the functions of spiritual power, now more concerned with Ming Fei, as using her Dual Cultivation Technique overcame the Second Awakening crisis; unexpectedly, Ming Fei had also undergone a Second Awakening during this process. Dual Cultivation Technique is inherently a mutually beneficial secret method, not just about taking.
