Chapter 66: Chapter 65: The Universal Law
Shen Luo had no idea how long it had been before his consciousness gradually recovered.
He opened his eyes and found that his body from the neck down was still imrsed in the brook. He was startled at first, then bewildered.
Despite that it was already sumr, the brook’s water was still chilly and piercing in the early morning. If one were to soak in it all night, even a strong and hardy person would freeze, let alone himself in his current physical state.
But why couldn’t he feel the chilliness of the brook’s water at all, but instead, found it rather comfortable to be imrsed in it?
Shen Luo, slightly confused, slowly stood up from the water.
At this mont, the sky was already bright, with the morning sun casting golden brilliance onto everything.
But in his eyes, the world at this mont seed utterly different from before, as if it was brighter and clearer than it had ever been.
Shen Luo as if realized sothing, glanced around, and was pleasantly surprised to find that his eyesight seed to have improved trendously!
He could easily see every vein in the leaves on trees dozens of feet away, and even ants scurrying up and down the trunk, and insects hiding in thick leaves, inching their bodies forward — none of them escaped his sight.
He composed himself and looked off into the distance.
He could clearly see the town several miles away, the winding blue stone road, houses on either side, so of the early morning vendors starting to set out their wares, and children playing in front of their hos…
Not only this, his ears also beca incredibly sharp: the sounds of insects and birds around him — of course, but he could also hear many strange sounds, such as a mouse rustling in a not-so-distant field, two butterflies flapping their wings among the flowers on the brook’s bank, a crab digging soil in a cave nearby, puffing bubbles with popping sounds from its mouth…
His sense of sll also improved significantly: the sll of the soil, the fragrance of flowers and grass, the sll of rotting leaves, and around 20 to 30 other various kinds of slls rushed up his nostrils all at once.
“What is this revolting sll?” Shen Luo muttered, covering his nose with his hand.
Just now, he had slled a strong stench up his nose, as if it was right under his nose. He hadn’t noticed it before.
As a result, when he touched it, he felt sothing slippery. He looked at it closely and found so black stuff, seemingly like a mud stain.
This previous stench exactly ca from this.
Shen Luo quickly wiped his face and found a layer of black mud on his entire face and neck. He had to wash it off with the water from the brook.
After washing off the stuff from his face, Shen Luo felt refreshed and was overjoyed.
The capabilities of his five senses have changed beyond recognition. This feeling far exceeded his expectations after reaching perfection in Small Transformation Yang Skill. It was a qualitative leap!
At this point, he vividly rembered the events of last night. He seed to have been trying to cultivate the technique recorded in the Naless Heavenly Book, and later he lost consciousness all of a sudden.
“It seems that I only followed the steps described in it and practiced the circulation of Qi for 36 tis, could this technique be so magical that just practicing it for the first ti could greatly enhance the five senses? Regardless, it’s not a bad thing,” he thought.
Shen Luo took a deep breath to calm his emotions, and then stepped out of the brook towards the bank.
However, halfway there, he suddenly stopped, with his right foot hovering in mid-air. He paused there without moving.
Just now, he found that in addition to his improved senses, he also had an added mysterious sensation, seemingly able to perceive an elusive thing that he had never noticed before.
This elusive thing exists in the surrounding air, Earth, flowing water, grass, wood, and all the things between Heaven and Earth, in various amounts and forms… Even in his own body, it exists in his Dantian.
Shen Luo dared not move rashly, for fear of disturbing this mysterious sensation.
He slowly closed his eyes, calmly sensing this “elusive thing” in his Dantian.
It seed to be a thread of faint cold air flow circulating in the Dantian, emitting a faint fluctuation, and the original abundant Yang Gang power retreated as soon as it made contact with the air flow.
“This… this is Dao’s seed! I’ve channeled it!” Shen Luo opened his eyes, his right foot stomped in the water violently, splashing a huge amount of water.
The fluctuation emitted by the cold air flow, as well as the white aura inside the Yuan Stone, and the aura fluctuations emitted by Yu Yan and other Immortal Masters were very similar; it could be confird as Mana.
Ever since he encountered cultivation, and knew that mana and God’s Power truly existed in this world, he had always been longing to take this step and reach this realm.
However, this step is almost unreachable for most people, and for him, it is a delusion.
Perhaps it was the pressure of nearing the end of his lifespan, or the persistence to the slightest hope in his heart. He didn’t give up and paid a lot for it. But what he least expected was that he would reap the rewards so quickly!
He had channelled Dao seed in a daze, developed Mana, and truly stepped into the world of cultivation!
Shen Luo’s hands unconsciously clenched his fists, his nails piercing deep into his flesh, yet he didn’t feel it at all.
After a good while, he forced himself to calm down and reminisced the whole affair, suddenly feeling sothing was not quite right.
According to what Sky had told him, channelling Dao seed was an important checkpoint on the road to Cultivating Immortality and was extrely hard to breakthrough. Many talented people had reached perfection in their foundational cultivation technique and relied on elixirs and miraculous dicine to help, but they were still unable to take this step. There were quite a few such examples in the Spring and Autumn Pavilion.
It took him two long years to learn the Hua Yang Technique, and his spirit root could not be considered good. He even made the worst plan to invest the remaining few years fully to hope for a breakthrough in this checkpoint.
However, he channelled Dao seed during the first attempt of Naless Cultivation Technique last night, which seed unthinkable.
Even if this cultivation technique was more sophisticated than the Pure Yang Sword Technique of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, and had a more significant effect on channeling Dao seed, he should not have been able to breakthrough so easily.
It was as if he was getting assistance from Heaven!
“Heaven’s help…”
Thinking of this, Shen Luo suddenly recalled the cold stream that suddenly appeared last night.
At that ti, the Water Spirit Qi he had absorbed from the brook had already dissipated, and it seed to be the sudden appearance of this cold stream that led him into a state of trance.
“I rember that the cold stream seed to co from my right shoulder. Could it have sothing to do with this?” Shen Luo was mulling over this, his glance subconsciously fell on the Skull Tattoo on his right shoulder.
The tattoo still looked lifelike, with no changes from before.
For so reason, the tattoo pattern that initially seed creepy now looked more pleasing to his eyes.
“Perhaps, this is what is ant by ‘fate and fortune,’!” Shen Luo scratched his head subconsciously and thought to himself.
