The King of Black Fog

"The situation is turning grim," one said.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

Chapter 224 Choosing a Visualization Method

"Let's finish reading everything we can learn first," Yang Qinglan said.

The four of them together were able to read through all the remaining visualization methods in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Li Changzhou also saw [Zhu Jiuyin].

Beyond the Northwest Sea, north of the Red River, lies Mount Zhangwei. There dwells a deity named Zhujiuyin.

Without going into anything else, just two words—it's divine!

In the image, Zhu Jiuyin stands like a pillar supporting the sky, towering between heaven and earth. In the real world, it would probably be tens of thousands of meters tall.

With a mere flick of its tail, such a creature could flatten Mingcheng like a sandcastle, without even causing a commotion, because it was so simple yet so powerful.

It's like how killing a pig takes a long time and involves breaking bowls and plates, but crushing an ant only requires a light crushing motion with the pad of your finger.

No wonder it's 'divine'!

[Giant Kun] Li Changzhou can also learn it.

Its head is in the westernmost reaches, its tail in the eastern wilderness; the vast seas surge with immense waves, its enormous belly swallows the eight directions.

It's an extraordinary visualization technique. Not only is the body large, but the key is the "big belly that swallows the eight directions," which easily reminds people of the "Northern Darkness Divine Art."

Could it be that it can absorb other people's abilities?

Li Changzhou wasn't the only one struggling with this decision; the other three ladies were also hesitant, as there were too many options to choose from.

Finally, Yaochi chose the Queen Mother of the West—no wonder the "Strange Tales" speculated that she was the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West.

The Queen Mother of the West, whose essence is yin, reverses the earth's balance, and holds the night and the moon in her hands; she is the head of all female immortals.

Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan still believed in the "Number One Under Heaven" and chose the [Yin Yang Twin Snakes].

After the three of them chose these two meditation methods, the corresponding catalogs and illustrations all disappeared from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, leaving only blank, yellowed pages.

“What people really want is the [Great Roc].” Li Qianxia said, pouting as she turned to the [Vermilion Bird] section of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

This guy...

Before the election, Li Changzhou didn't say a word and even said she was fine. After the election, she pretended to feel sorry for herself and started complaining.

“Wait a minute,” Li Changzhou pulled her slender hand that was about to touch him, “Every visualization method in the Classic of Mountains and Seas can only be practiced by one person, but it does not say that one person can only practice one method.”

"To be precise, you've only learned half of it so far," Yang Qinglan said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Li Qianxia hadn't reacted yet.

"Let's give it a try." Li Changzhou turned directly to the page with the title "Giant Kun".

As soon as he placed his hand on it, thinking 'I want to cultivate,' the [Giant Kun] transformed into a ball of dark light, rushed out of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas," and merged into his dantian—previously, the [Yin Yang Twin Snakes] were between his eyebrows.

After the other three watched this scene, Yaochi went straight to search for "Bluebird," but... she couldn't open it. Looking at the catalog, there wasn't a single item lit up.

Li Changzhou tried to open other files, but he couldn't open them either.

He turned his gaze to Yang Qinglan.

Yang Qinglan tried it out, and all the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" books that she could previously choose from at will were now darkened.

The problem isn't that the two of them each learned half of the [Yin Yang Twin Snakes]... Li Changzhou thought of his two identity cards. Could it be related to this? Or perhaps it's because of the black mist?

"Li Changzhou, I'm going to report you." Yaochi pointed at Li Changzhou, just like when the pretty group leader in high school came to collect last night's homework, saying she would write down your name while letting you copy all the group's homework (to prevent duplicate answers).

"Hehe." Li Qianxia chuckled and imitated [Dapeng], not caring about anything else.

All four are 'S+' level, and Li Changzhou even has two 'S+' level skills!

The rewards of this trip to Tokyo were so great that they were almost embarrassed, so they decided not to read "The Search for the Gods"—because it wouldn't have been of any use anyway.

Emerging from the dazzling passageway, the Emerald Bee Sword and the Crimson Steel Spear were still unengraved with their inscriptions.

Because of its ability to penetrate all objects, the Emerald Bee Sword now only reacts to Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan, whom he loves and who loves him. In the hands of others, it is only the size of an embroidery needle.

Engraving inscriptions on a weapon the size of an embroidery needle takes much longer.

Taking advantage of this time, Yaochi said:

"Xiao Qing, can you tell us what the 'Storm' stole? It seems to be able to swap bodies. As the heroes who brought it back, we should know how to defend ourselves, right?"

“It’s not just about swapping bodies,” Yang Qinglan added. “During the battle, ‘Storm’ is very confident about the fact that a helicopter appears at Shibuya Crossing and that the player has the ability to stop time.”

Zheng Qing hesitated for a while, and only after obtaining the logistics team's consent did she explain to the three of them.

"It is the Golden Pen of Fortune, one of the 'Three Divine Artifacts of Fortune,' which uses one's own fortune as ink to write down one's destiny."

"Cao Liang - Storm - has good luck. He is one of the best in the national team. He used his luck to write down the props that he would get to exchange bodies. Everything that happened in Shibuya Crossroads was also written by him."

"At the same time, this also almost completely depleted his luck. Even with the ability to stop time, he was unable to restore his luck to a safe level, which is why he died there."

"Could we ask a death row inmate to write it?" Li Qianxia had just finished speaking when she immediately dismissed the idea, "I forgot, how could a death row inmate have any luck?"

Above the High Heavens

Zheng Qing nodded and said, "Not only that, this prop seems powerful, but if you are not careful, the user will be in danger or even die due to excessive consumption of luck."

Li Changzhou thought for a moment: "Is it feasible to set up an expert group to study how to consume luck, but after achieving the goal, the luck can be restored, or even surpassed before?"

"The Special Operations Bureau is already working on it," Zheng Qing replied.
