The King of Black Fog

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

Chapter 320 Radiant Breath

On a clear night, the sky was full of stars, fireflies danced on Bird's Nest Plain, and a cluster of silk-like light enveloped him.

He absorbed and refined the light, which then became vibrant and blazing.

His aura was golden, and his whole body was bathed in a golden light—no, not gold, but as if the setting sun had poured over him.

The only unusual color was between his eyebrows, which had become crystal clear.

Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia watched him quietly. In his world, there was no sound, only the flow of light and the shroud of color.

The previously unattainable 'Hengsha', nourished by the radiance, finally showed signs of breaking out of the void.

Overnight, the cell phone-sized piece of brilliance disappeared.

As soon as Li Changzhou opened his eyes, Li Qianxia asked eagerly, "How did it go? Did it work?"

“It only takes one night. Even building a house wouldn’t be this fast. If it takes one unit of Qi Hui every day, it would probably take three months.” Li Changzhou stood up and sat down at the dining table.

"It's going to take this long?"

“That’s very short,” Yang Qinglan smiled beautifully. “According to the Taoist books in the Fragrant Leaf Crown, most human immortals only manage to condense into ‘Heng Sha’ after their three thousand years of lifespan. They are still a long way from the smallest realm, ‘Blessed Land.’ Your brother only needs three months, which should be the fastest speed.”

"Read more books," Li Changzhou advised his younger sister.

Li Qianxia pretended not to hear and looked at the box on the table: "There are twenty-three pieces here, enough for twenty-three days. It's not even enough for my brother to gather 'Hengsha' by himself."

“Let’s go to Earth to pick them.” Li Changzhou picked up an apple, and Kacha took a bite; it was juicy and plump.

"Ugh, so annoying," Li Qianxia slumped in her chair. "Why do we have to work so hard in missions, and then have to mine in the real world? Aren't there any excavators?"

“It’s highly unlikely,” Yang Qinglan said, taking an apple as well. “Even on the Divine Will Great Wall, it would be a Divine Will Warrior of the Human Immortal level who painstakingly collects them bit by bit.”

Li Changzhou and his group of six were fortunate enough to be assigned a task by a wealthy old man. They braved the firepower of an entire planet to remove an artificial star, and it took them nine days to exchange for a few dozen pieces of Qi Hui and metal. This shows that Qi Hui is an extremely rare item even in the highly developed Divine Will Great Wall.

"I'll try it out later and see how fast the collection goes." Li Changzhou took another bite of the apple.

“I’ll go with you,” Yang Qinglan said.

"No need. You cultivate your neutrino primordial spirit. My Five Elements True Blade is almost ready. Anyway, I have nothing to do."

How could I have nothing to do? It's always good to have more skills. With so many supernatural powers and spells in the Fragrant Leaf Crown, who wouldn't want to learn them?

Yang Qinglan didn't say anything, just nodded.

Putting aside personal relationships, as teammates, there must always be contributions and sacrifices between each other in a team.

Moreover, Li Changzhou is indeed the best candidate to collect Qi Radiance—he has a [Divine Body], so he doesn't need to consume mana to defend against cosmic radiation, and he can even use cosmic radiation to restore his mana.

It is absolutely the best gas extraction machine.

Unfortunately, he was a supreme immortal, and no one dared to use him as a means of gathering qi.

On the contrary, if he were a little more ruthless, he could easily exploit lower-level immortals and make them do hard labor.

"Should I go with you, brother, or stay here to cultivate?" Li Qianxia asked.

"Whatever you want." Li Changzhou tossed away the fruit pit. "You can use these radiances first. Three months is the time it takes me to condense 'Hengsha'. If I use the Honey Pot World as my 'territory,' the speed will be faster, and I will need less radiance."

"Nobody's going to be polite with you." Li Qianxia scoffed at his generosity.

"Didn't you use all your Qi Hui to buy flying cars for people? Is there any of yours here?" Yang Qinglan looked at Li Changzhou with suspicion.

Li Changzhou increasingly realized just how expensive Yin Seli's flying car was; no wonder she was so angry she wanted to kill him back then.

Leaving the honeypot world, Li Changzhou flew from the moon to Earth.

Airglow exists at an altitude of 100 kilometers above the Earth's surface.

100 kilometers is the boundary between the inner atmosphere and space, also known as the Kármán line. Crossing this line means you have reached outer space. Spacecraft that fly at an altitude higher than 100 kilometers can be called spacecraft.

Li Changzhou hovered outside the atmosphere, gazing at the Earth before him, which resembled a blue glass bead. It was beautiful, dreamlike, and pure; Konglu Star was simply not worthy of comparison with Earth.

Standing before her, Li Changzhou felt as if he were facing his mother—not his biological mother, but a deeper kind of attachment.

At the edge of the atmosphere of this beautiful planet, there is a hazy, luminous shield—this is airglow.

Airglow can be divided into three types, in more modern terms:

The first type is solar autoglow, which occurs when sunlight illuminates the edge of the night hemisphere of the atmosphere in the morning.

The second type is twilight airglow, which is formed by a small beam of light produced at dusk on the boundary between day and night on Earth.

The third type is noctilucent airglow, which is caused by the decomposition of oxygen and nitrogen particles in the upper atmosphere due to solar radiation, forming noctilucent airglow.

It was early morning, and the sun, without the weakening effect of the atmosphere, shone with a blinding white light.

Li Changzhou sat cross-legged in the vacuum of space and took a deep breath.

Aurora-like phenomena can be seen in the sky in many places around the world.

This light burst forth from the nameless place, filling the entire sky like a trembling ribbon, a floating curtain, or... a divine message from Earth to all life.

Countries with satellites in orbit watched the transmitted images and were deeply shocked. The conference room was completely silent.

With such a small and weak human body, yet breathing in and out the energy of heaven and earth towards the earth, what a magnificent and great life it is!
