However, there was a saying that even a step backward opened up vast opportunities.
With 10 seas worth of internal force having left his dantian, it started to feel less crowded inside. The Absorption Ability was still continuing to churn the surrounding energy and because Qin Feng's body was injured, it was quickly getting repaired.
If he were any ordinary person, Qin Feng's injury would have been stuck with him for the rest of his life and if there were no opportunities, it would have been impossible to recover in ten or twenty years.
But right now, it only took a moment for Qin Feng's face to turn from miserable defeat to a flush of red and the internal force was quickly replenished.
With the dantian under control again, his mind stirred, quickly starting to think.
This failure was a wake-up call to him, telling him that things would not be so easy.
"What a mistake, should have known better than to try to condense my internal force so quickly. I should have asked my seniors for information first!"
Right now, something like this was beyond his ability.
Besides, he soon realized where his shortcomings were!
"I don't have a controlling method I can match this with. My awareness isn't powerful enough to suppress this energy and my consciousness hasn't yet reached S-tier, there'd be no way to replace that!"
"External forces don't just need consciousness and awareness, some items can be used as supplements. Otherwise, those high level items wouldn't be priced so expensively. Those A9 tiers that are a step away from S-tier must all be looking for them!"
With that in mind, Qin Feng took out two things.
One was the S-tier blood concentrated crystal.
Then, there was the eight-petal Snow Jade Lotus that Hu San gave him.
He set his sights on the latter, knowing that this lotus was a powerful item with a great magical effect and it could even be used to compress one's vitality and delay aging.
Then, would it be able to condense internal force?
When Qin Feng thought of this, he finally made the decision. Compared to the blood concentrated crystal, the snow jade lotus was obviously more suitable for him now.
Click!
He opened up that sealed box and in the next moment the cold air that was released from it almost froze him in place.
He wanted to use his fire element to get rid of this cold but decided against it. Not only that, he reached out to pluck off a lotus petal and gulped it down.
His entire body felt like it was freezing up.
The external force started to merge with his body and was manipulated by him, and before it could transform into energy it was shifted toward his dantian.
This chill came from an external source, and he did not have the intention of integrating it into his body. He manipulated the chill as well as the ten seas' worth of internal force to form them into a large ball of 'water'.
The edges of this 'water' ball were beginning to freeze up due to the cold air.
"Compress!"
With this force freezing it, the 'sea water' could no longer rush out and would not explode and rush out like before when it was getting compressed.
On the contrary, as the pushing force exploded, a small crystalline object finally froze over in the center of the 'water ball'
This crystal was really too small.
For Qin Feng, what he saw was hope.
"Again!"
With the pressure of outside forces, the 'ice' ball started to get smaller and smaller and the internal force became smaller and smaller as well as it transformed into a solid ice globe.
Originally, gas, water and ice were just used to describe the forms internal force could take, but such a description was not literal. Otherwise if it was actually like water then it would have increased in volume when it froze.
But now, this globe was getting smaller and smaller, and Qin Feng's dantian became like his conscious space. In comparison, his consciousness planet was much bigger.
The first frozen internal force star was finally formed.
His internal force solidifying meant that his internal force had reached the S-tier!
In an instant, his aura changed!
He still had some seas of internal force within him that had not been transformed, so his aura was sometimes faint.
On one part, his aura of an A-tier ancient warrior was represented by his seas of internal force. The other part was not clear at all.
The S-tier had their auras hidden, unless he released its pressure he would be just like how the elders were.
Like how Long Yunyi was.
That was exactly what Qin Feng had become.
When he opened his eyes he looked into his dantian in a daze. The appearance of that frozen star represented his fate that had become different from what it was in his past life.
This was a kind of transcendence.
The never before reached S-tier seemed like it was at his fingertips now.
Not only that, his nature remained clear. There was not any anomaly he could detect, so crystal clear would not be an exaggeration.
It was uncertain what kind of reaction this state would generate.
However, it was not over yet.
He reached out again to pluck off another petal of the eight-petal Snow Jade Lotus and put it into his mouth.
Like clockwork, he was going to condense the other 90 seas of internal force he had.
He had no prior experience with this at all, and now he felt like he was grasping at rocks to cross a raging river. If he was seen by other S-tier ancient warriors or A-tiers who were cultivating to rise up in rank they would have said he was ridiculous and had his head in the clouds!
When an ancient warrior condensed his first frozen internal force star, it would automatically rotate and absorb the surrounding internal force before gradually expanding.
Compressing 10 seas worth of internal force was only the first step, the rest was a gradual process.
The larger the frozen star, the higher its strength. Calculating based on its diameter, its first expansion would mean S1 tier, its second expansion would be S2 tier and so on.
While the bigger the star meant the high level in terms of power, nobody had ever heard of condensing a second frozen star.
Since he had not reached S-tier yet, what if Qin Feng wanted to make another frozen star? This would not be possible in the future. Once internal force entered his dantian it would get integrated into the frozen star and he would never be able to make another one again!
There were only some legendary practitioners, or the impeccable members of those top strongest families who had been able to condense multiple stars and that was due to the accumulation of countless A-tier resources.
In the Huaxia Region, there had only ever been one person who managed to do it and he was deemed as a reserve for being the closest to the strongest in the region.
Prince Xiao!
The young patriarch of the Li Clan, currently an S-tier ancient warrior.
He had condensed three frozen stars and was invincible in terms of strength when compared to those of the same level and had very few rivals. It could be said that he was in a place where he was very proud to be in, and nobody knew just how much natural resources he had used in order to reach that state.
Qin Feng was not privy to any of these secrets and attempted to make another frozen star the same way he did the first, naturally condensing a second one.
As he continued to do this, the process became easier as practice makes perfect.
Eight snow jade lotus petals were eaten and eight frozen stars were made.
However, while the rotation of the frozen stars would start absorbing the surrounding internal force the process was not very fast. After Qin Feng condensed eight stars, only 10 seas remained inside his dantian. This was due to the Absorption Ability constantly absorbing the surrounding energy and by the time he was done condensing he had already absorbed all of the Lesser Sacred Armors' energy!
"Now that my awareness has reached S-tier due to the creation of the frozen stars, I'll try again. Even if it fails it wouldn't matter!"
