"You’ve mastered the Concealing Skill?"
The mont Qinglian Fairy saw Wen Zhixing, she couldn’t help but blurt out. If Wen Zhixing hadn’t been the only person inside, she never would have guessed this person was him. No matter how she looked, there was no flaw to be seen.
Hmm, he even looks a bit handso...
Upon hearing her words, Wen Zhixing held the ribs of his fan with his right hand, twirled it smoothly, and expertly folded it. He then smiled, clasped his hands, and said, "I have indeed mastered it. Thank you, Qinglian Fairy."
"So quickly..." Qinglian Fairy’s lips parted slightly in disbelief. Even though she had seen countless geniuses before, Wen Zhixing’s speed of cultivation was a bit too fast. The difficulty in cultivating the Concealing Skill was not low. Even she had spent a full week just to grasp the basics.
How long had Wen Zhixing spent? With such aptitude, few in the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land could likely rival him.
Wen Zhixing just smiled, neither confirming nor denying. But his figure began to flicker, almost vanishing before Qinglian Fairy’s very eyes.
"You really did master it." A glint flashed in Qinglian Fairy’s moist eyes. She knew Wen Zhixing possessed excellent talent for cultivation, but she hadn’t expected his comprehension to be this strong. If given ti, Wen Zhixing might soon soar to great heights.
"I’ve cultivated a similar secret skill before, so I had a bit of a foundation."
In the next mont, the space before her rippled like water, and Wen Zhixing’s figure reappeared. He had no intention of showing off his comprehension, nor was he hiding his ability—it was all the plain truth. With countless God prides in the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land, there was no need to constantly hide one’s strength; doing so would only earn disdain. If one possessed talent, tangible or intangible, it should be displayed when appropriate. Regardless, for Wen Zhixing, he was always growing. Others might think they had seen through him, but in reality, he was constantly making breakthroughs at lightning speed.
As expected, this imdiately changed Qinglian Fairy’s attitude toward Wen Zhixing. It was a natural shift in her mindset. The more outstanding Wen Zhixing proved to be, the more she valued him.
"Wen Zhixing..."
Qinglian Fairy was about to speak.
—ROAR!
At that mont, a series of terrifying shrieks seed to emanate from the mist before them. Wen Zhixing felt a chill run down his spine, as if an unknown power had invaded his body.
It was a wisp of extrely fine black fog. Yet it seed to have a life of its own, burrowing directly into Wen Zhixing’s head and heading for his Sea of Sense.
"Not good!" Qinglian Fairy was instantly alard at the sight. Looking up, she saw that the flying boat had, at so unknown point, sustained damage, creating a breach. It was precisely because of this breach that the wisp of black fog had managed to invade. And in that brief instant, Wen Zhixing’s eyes had already lost their focus.
"Wen Zhixing, hold steady, I’ll save you." Qinglian Fairy took a deep breath, a light flashing in her eyes as she placed her slender white hand on Wen Zhixing’s forehead, preparing to intervene.
"It’s alright." But Wen Zhixing suddenly opened his eyes wide and grabbed Qinglian Fairy’s hand.
BOOM!
A bolt of Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder erupted within him. The thunder rumbled, incredibly violent. Enveloped by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder, the wisp of black fog shrieked pitifully. The life force of this black fog was incredibly tenacious. Even the bombardnt of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder could not annihilate it instantly.
But fortunately, if Wen Zhixing had one thing in abundance, it was thunder. Countless bolts of Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder surged forth, eventually refining the wisp of black fog.
—BUZZ!
This wisp of black fog transford into the purest energy and rged into his Sea of Sense, causing the entire Sea of Sense to visibly expand.
The black fog over this river seems completely different from the mist around the Hundred Tribulations Great Array. Wen Zhixing wore an expression of comfort, his eyes narrowing slightly. He had co into contact with the fog from the outermost Hundred Tribulations Great Array once, a mist that held taboo powers. If it weren’t for tily treatnt, he feared his entire body would have turned to bones. This black fog, however, targeted the spiritual sense directly. There was a clear distinction between the two.
"Are you alright now?" Qinglian Fairy asked, surprised again. She wanted to investigate, but Wen Zhixing once more refused.
"I’m really fine now." Wen Zhixing patted his clothes, stood up, and declared, looking vigorous. Not only was he unhard, he had actually grown stronger.
This only made Qinglian Fairy more curious. This gray fog was from the Chaotic Sea Area. One could imagine its terrifying nature. Even just a wisp of it was not sothing that soone of Wen Zhixing’s level of cultivation could withstand.
Wen Zhixing didn’t intend to explain but asked instead, "Qinglian Fairy, is this fog the sa as the ones from the Chaotic Sea Area?"
Qinglian Fairy nodded. She knew what Wen Zhixing wished to ask and continued, "This great river was once connected to the Chaotic Sea Area, but later, several Elders from the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land moved it here through their great magical powers. As for that black fog, it was deliberately placed here for research."
Research... Wen Zhixing frowned slightly. The people from the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land are truly insane. To place such a dangerous thing here for research.
Right at that mont, the panel prompts that had not appeared earlier suddenly materialized.
[Your cultivation is too low to discern the information of this mist.]
[Please hasten to improve your cultivation.]
[Once your cultivation reaches the Primordial Fetus Realm, you will have the capacity to investigate.]
So, I’m not strong enough to investigate it yet, huh... It was the first ti Wen Zhixing encountered sothing for which he couldn’t investigate specific information. One needed to reach the Primordial Fetus Realm to investigate it. This further impressed upon him how terrifying the black fog truly was.
"You go inside first. I’ll repair the flying boat." Concerned that Wen Zhixing might encounter further trouble, Qinglian Fairy quickly ushered him back into the cabin.
