Translator: 549690339
Carrying the Cot Crystal back to his little nest, Lin Zhen hurriedly crawled in, covered himself with leaves, and took out the Cot Crystal.
The brilliant Cot Crystal with its long tail looked dazzling and incredibly brilliant, and Lin Zhen could feel the energy it contained as he held it in his hand.
“Although my current realm has just broken through to the Four-level War
General early stage. I should take so ti to continue absorbing the Cot
Crystal. But now, ti waits for no one, so it’s better to put this thing into myself as soon as possible for safety.”
Lin Zhen took the Cot Crystal and placed it on his Dantian, just above his lower abdon.
The massive infusion of energy caused Lin Zhen’s Dantian to expand wildly once again!
This cultivation session lasted for a full thirty minutes before the Cot Crystal was completely absorbed.
No matter what kind of Star Crystal was absorbed, the first ti was always the most effective. After Lin Zhen absorbed this Cot Crystal, his Dantian air jumped from the Early Stage peak to the Middle Stage. Although not yet reaching the Peak, it was still great progress.
“What a powerful force! In just a few days, I’ve gone from the Third Level Peak to the Four-level Middle Stage, indeed, this Star Fruit Tree is a cultivation Holy
Land.”
“However, it’s because of the first absorption that it had such an effect. Afterward, the effect won’t be as good. According to the Survival Manual, the sa Star Crystal will have a decreasingly effective results after absorption. Moreover, the higher the realm, the more energy is needed for promotion. I think I would need seven or eight Cot Crystals to advance to the Four-level Late Stage, and fewer than twenty or thirty would not be enough to reach the Fifth Level.”
“As for the Sixth level, I’m afraid only Satellite Crystals would be effective.
Fortunately, I still have ti.”
Lin Zhen finished absorbing the crystal, standing up contentedly; knowing there were two more nearly mature Cot Crystals waiting for him made him feel very relaxed.
Seeing that it was approaching evening, Lin Zhen ate so compressed biscuits and went to the riverside again.
“Yesterday, I comprehended the state of being like a mountain. It ans I can start practicing spear techniques freely in the river. Today, I’ll start cultivating Long River. ”
“Not just any Long River, but my unique Lin Zhen’s Lightning Long River!”
Taking off his clothes, Lin Zhen entered the water again, the icy cold water shocking his senses.
Holding the shining silver spear firmly in his hands, Lin Zhen remained unmoved despite the raging waves, as he contemplated silently.
“According to the Long River secret technique I’ve read, to make the spear flow like a river, the first thing to do is to make the spear attack like a wave.”
“It’s not easy to make a spear attack like a wave. For example, the waves in front of . When one wave attacks, I can fight back with a waterfall. But when the next wave cos, I’ll be exhausted.”
“The mystery of the waterfall is a one-ti attack, while the wave is actually to make the waterfall’s power continuous. Now, let try.”
Lin Zhen prepared himself, waiting for the next wave to surge. As it did, he flicked his spear; Waterfall!
Thin golden Lightning Ions shone in the night sky, clashing with the raging river, and a human-made waterfall-like wave t in midair!
“Bang!”
As if fireworks were exploding, water splashed everywhere. The wave didn’t surge as the water splattered the surrounding banks, making the area damp.
The river montarily interrupted its flow, as additional water didn’t follow up behind quickly enough!
Standing on the shore, one would see a noticeable gap behind Lin Zhen, caused by the late arrival of the subsequent water flow.
However, waves were endless. After resisting one wave with the Waterfall, the next one ca imdiately. Lin Zhen was unable to perform a second Waterfall in such a short amount of ti.
Raising his spear, Lin Zhen barely managed another attack, but it was nowhere near as effective as the first ti. The wave slamd down, and although Lin Zhen didn’t fall, he was soaked and miserable.
“As expected, the situation is basically the sa as I thought. I cannot perform consecutive Waterfalls and am unable to resist the waves.”
“The real Long River should have a continuous surge, that if sustained would even cause the river to stop flowing. How can I achieve this?”
“According to the secret technique, it might take a year or two of step-by-step training. But I obviously don’t have that much ti to waste, so I have to learn quickly.”
After a little while, Lin Zhen tried performing the Waterfall again. But it still didn’t make the river stop flowing as subsequent waves hit him.
Lin Zhen attempted several more tis, eventually growing tired and resting on the shore for a while.
“It’s still not working. I haven’t been able to grasp the essence of it. What am I doing wrong?”
Unable to figure it out, Lin Zhen decided to temporarily let go of his thoughts and let his mind wander freely.
His past and present life, family, friends, enemies, dreams, and pursuits everything flashed through Lin Zhen’s mind like a movie.
“I want to make 400 billion and give my parents the ability to cultivate again. Even if I have to use resources to support them, so they can live a comfortable life in the future, I won’t feel lonely.”
“In my past life, I experienced many significant events. I already have plans for many of them, so I can’t stay in the God Generals Training Camp for too long this ti. I must not exceed five years or even four years, because I still rember, in my past life, Ice City Base City was captured and occupied by mutated beasts, causing great disaster for mankind. Countless people died in that battle, and only a handful of capable individuals escaped.”
“That’s why I must return before that happens, do my best to prevent Ice City from falling, or at least rescue as many people as possible.”
“I am not a compassionate saint, but I know how helpless people of Earth are when facing extraterrestrial civilizations. In this life, I have to pursue the peak of my abilities, and ensure that the people of Earth stand strong and revered in this universe.”
“You geniuses from extraterrestrial civilizations, if you wish to do as you please on Earth, you’ll have to get past , Lin Zhen first!”
“For those who have fought and died for Earth, you are heroes. I’ll do my best to protect your lives, and in the anti, anyone who tries to block my path to the peak will be sent to hell, whether they’re good or bad.”
At this mont, Lin Zhen thought of Su Mingyue, the troubleso Saintess. Making her realize the true face of the so-called True God of the Stars was not an easy matter.
And there was An Ning. An Ning’s family still didn’t approve of him and An Ning. Lin Zhen had to resolve this issue when he returned.
Thinking of An Ning’s kindness and her tender personality like water, Lin Zhen’s lips unconsciously revealed a hint of a smile.
“Hmmm…water!”
Like a lightning bolt in the night sky, this word flashed across Lin Zhen’s mind, as if he had grasped sothing significant.
“Water… what was I thinking about? Just a bit more, what is water?”
Lin Zhen suddenly stood up and stared at the river, his thoughts racing.
‘Water is the source of life, an indispensable elent for humans, mutated beasts, or even insects. Water forms drop by drop… whether in rivers, lakes, or oceans, it is composed of countless tiny droplets…”
“Water can flow or remain still. It can give life and take it away. It can carry boats but also capsize them… its emotions unpredictable.”
“Ocean currents cause climate change, water nourishes the earth… water is… I understand now!”
Lin Zhen suddenly looked up at the sky, a flash of brilliance in his eyes. “Water is just water! To truly beco like a tidal wave, I need to understand water’s characteristics- I need to let myself he like a droplet of water. able to
float or sink at will. Only by understanding water can I beco it and launch an endless offensive like a cascade of the Celestial River.”
With that in mind, Lin Zhen took a deep breath and pulled out his Silver Spear, diving headfirst into the raging river like an athlete in ancient tis.
The Silver Spear was very heavy, and it imdiately pulled Lin Zhen to the riverbed. He lay there, letting the water flow around him.
With golden and silver light flickering in his eyes, he could see the distorted shadows of trees on the riverbank through the moonlight, as well as the crescent moon swaying in the gaps between the foliage.
He could even count the white bubbles in the water, faintly feel the wind, and clearly sense the direction of the water flow.
Gradually, he released his grip on the Silver Spear, letting it slip away as his body began to float with the waves.
Slowly, his arms moved, and unconsciously, he found the rhythm of the water flow, sliding without causing even a ripple.
He stopped breathing, as the energy in his Dantian started circulating slowly. This was an ability only Martial Artists at the War General Stage possessed, allowing them to hold their breath underwater.
“Right now I am the water flow. Water won’t hurt , and I am one with water.
I go with the flow without crashing into anything.”
His body moved smoothly with the water, effortlessly avoiding contact with a tree after rounding a bend.
“Since ancient tis, water has always flowed downhill. Now I can detect the changes in water flow, even feel the existence of water molecules. I am light as I drift in the water, without expending any effort. This is the power of going with the flow, this is called downstream.”
“Waves or tidal currents, they all move with the water flow. Now, I am water, I am the water flow! I am the waves, I am the surging tide of the Celestial River!”
Having subrged in the water for more than twenty minutes, Lin Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, pushed off the riverbed with both hands, and rapidly swam towards the Silver Spear, grabbing it and blasting out of the water!
The spear in his hand shook, and a stormy wind and rain howled. The spear’s silhouette, like a massive wave, struck the oncoming tide with fury!
“Boom!”
Amidst the splashing water, the first tidal wave scattered, and the second wave ca crashing down.
“Again!”
Lin Zhen roared, the muscles in his body tensing and lightning ions illuminating the night sky as he thrust the spear fiercely for the second ti!
“Rumble!”
It seed like a heavy downpour on the riverbank, as the second wave dissipated under Lin Zhen’s spear attack.. With two consecutive waves negated, the river behind Lin Zhen experienced a real disruption of the flow!
