Chapter 785: Capturing Shadows as Essence
The airship was above the sea. Chen Chuan stood alone on the terrace, feeling the airship's progress beneath him, his eyes fixed on the magnificent night sky that seemed to immerse one in it.
From a fighter's perspective, the vortex in the sky became more obvious, but it was a little erratic, as if blocked outside by an invisible layer. However, the force on the opposite side seemed to be constantly squeezing here, trying to break through this thin barrier, and there were signs that it was getting closer and closer.
The huge collision is approaching relentlessly, and sooner or later the two worlds will collide completely.
One of his previous goals was to reach the fourth limit before the big impact, and only now did he have some ability to protect himself before that happened.
After a while, he looked in a certain direction again. It was the direction of the White Bird District. Although it was too far away to see anything, the fighter from the Linax Federation should be there.
Perhaps, we will have a chance to communicate this time.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze, walked back, said hello to the old captain, and returned to the cabin.
After arriving at the cabin, he closed the door, stood in the middle, drew out the Xuejun Sword, and slashed it down. In an instant, a crack as high as a person appeared in front of him, and dazzling light shone through it.
The focus of this phase of cultivation was on the true form and spiritual form. However, he was still unclear about the specifics of how to practice. He had asked Hongfu, but the Jibei Dao Wuyi Academy had almost no knowledge on this subject. However, he was not in a hurry, because both the government and the Pure Cult had channels to obtain it.
His body is still undergoing transformation, so he doesn't need to do these things for the time being. He just needs to use his spiritual power to communicate with another world and bring in more energy as a supplement.
He put the Xuejun Sword aside and sat down in front of the crack.
Because of the biological field surrounding him within dozens of meters, it is almost an independent space. No one can get a glimpse of the truth inside before penetrating his field.
The biggest advantage of this is that if something comes from the opposite direction, he can deal with it in time without alerting the outside world.
He was currently practicing the method of Taibai Jingguan that Teacher Xue had taught him, but he could feel that some of it was too conservative, so he made some adjustments himself.
There is a reason why fighters are given this title. Due to their spiritual elevation, they can deeply understand the role and essence of some methods and techniques, and make them more suitable for themselves. Every fighter will almost walk a path that is unique to him.
Originally, his spirit had been communicating with the other side, and energy was being absorbed almost all the time, but there was always a layer of obstruction. However, before the crack, under the guidance of his improved method, this layer of obstruction seemed to disappear in an instant, and a large amount of energy fell on him along with the dazzling light.
He absorbed all of this energy and stored it in his body.
At this moment, the transformation of his body depends on the subsequent energy supply on the one hand, and on the upper limit of the transformation that his body can withstand on the other.
Because he broke through with an unprecedented foundation, his upper limit is obviously higher, more energy is required, and he may have to fight against people of the same strength, so it is always better to accumulate more energy.
After becoming a fighter, the body is completely different from that of an ordinary person. The alienated tissue is able to store a large amount of energy in the body and transfer it for use when needed.
This seemed to be somewhat similar to the Furnace Breathing Technique. He suspected that the Furnace Breathing Technique was probably created with reference to some alienated tissues and body structures of fighters.
After being immersed in practice for about half an hour, he suddenly smelled a strong fragrance. Looking up, he saw a vague black shadow on the ground of the crack. He could not make out its specific shape, but he could see some long and slender tendrils draped over the edge of the crack.
Without that lost item as a cover, these things will inevitably come knocking.
This fragrance actually emanates from the depths of his alienated tissue and spirit. It is his body telling him that what comes is useful to him.
Therefore, he complied with this demand. Without waiting for the thing to come over from the opposite side, he stood up, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the empty space. Suddenly, a series of sharp screams drilled into his mind.
Although he had nothing in his hands, he felt a strong sense of struggle in his mind and in the field.
But he remained unmoved and forcibly pulled the thing out. As it fell to his side, the originally invisible body turned into a half-real and half-virtual thing. It seemed like a floating membrane wing, surrounded by densely packed dancing tentacles.
After bringing this thing in front of him, the fragrance became even stronger, and the alienated organization seemed to be urging him to move forward.
Chen Chuan ignored the noisy screams, held the center of the thing with both hands, and then exerted force. With a "swish", he tore it into two pieces. Then large pieces of gold-like things leaked out.
However, due to the influence of his biological field, these things did not fall to the ground, but floated in the air. In the light, they seemed to be surrounded by a layer of golden mist.
Among them, there was one thing that immediately caught his attention. It was a crystal clear object like a fat ball, about the size of a fingertip, and most of the rich fragrance emanated from it.
He reached out, took the thing with two fingers, and then swallowed it. After a while, the alienated tissues in various parts of his body responded with joy, and wanted to get more. Obviously, this thing was indeed what his body needed, but such a small amount seemed to be a drop in the bucket.
At this moment, Chen Chuan suddenly remembered what Principal Yao had said to him. Whether it was them or the beings in the opposite world, they were feeding on each other. It seemed that this was what he meant.
He looked at the crack. It seemed that in addition to spiritual practice, he could occasionally gain some extra benefits from splitting the crack. However, it also depended on how powerful the thing coming from the other side was. In other words, he could deal with the thing just now. If the thing coming was too powerful, then he might be the food of the other side.
But fortunately, this situation should not happen. After all, the ring curtain blocks the two worlds. Those overly powerful things cannot come through for a while, and even if they come, they will cause a huge commotion. He has enough time to close the gap.
After dealing with this thing, he continued to sit down and practice.
The night passed like this and continued until dawn.
However, he was only concerned with his own cultivation, and the airship did not come down from the sky for a long time, giving people the impression that he was competing with another fighter from the Linax Federation. Otherwise, they really couldn't figure out why Chen Chuan took an airship to the sea at night. Apart from people who were also fighters, who else was worthy of his targeting and attention?
And his actions seem to outsiders to be extremely tough. If you take a step forward, then I will take a step forward too. He doesn't care about any coercion or threats at all.
The most nervous party was the consortium, so they once again began to urge the municipal council to resolve the matter as soon as possible, otherwise they would have to seriously consider whether to continue their cooperation.
At this time, Mr. Long had already arrived at the checkpoint outside the central city and came into the coverage area. Then they immediately heard the news about Chen Chuan from the Municipal Council, and at the same time urged the pick-up personnel to move faster.
Mr. Long laughed when he heard the news, then commented, "It seems this guy is quite enterprising."
The other people in the car were a little panicked and very enterprising, or in other words, very aggressive. So who knows what this person will do next?
The person in charge who came to pick up Mr. Long this time said solemnly: "Mr. Long, this time it all depends on you."
Mr. Long laughed again, then immediately calmed down. He said coldly, "Thinking that using a fighter against another fighter will often make the opponent cautious of each other is actually not a good idea. Because every fighter has different ideas, if you don't understand the opponent's situation, you have no idea whether they will go to extremes. Sometimes it will be seen as a threat, which will lead to a more intense response.
Actually, wasn't that idea that Linax the fighter came up with earlier quite good? Why don't you just give me the terms? Inviting me also requires a price, so why not offer enough benefits to appease him?
"Mr. Long, it's not that we're reluctant to give it up, but we're worried. Due to the imbalance of power, it's hard for us to trust the other party's promise. After all, they're on the government's side, and the government has always been hostile to us. We're worried that even if we give the things away, we still won't be able to resolve this matter. This is where you, Mr. Long, come in."
"Hahaha... Well, your worries do have some truth to them."
Mr. Long thought for a moment and said, "I remember that the two members of the Purity Faction didn't enter the city last time, right? How about this? I won't enter the city this time either. If you want to negotiate, it's best to invite them outside the city and wait..."
Everyone in the car looked over with puzzled eyes.
Perhaps due to the short intervals between his words, Mr. Long only opened his mouth briefly, letting out a short laugh before saying, "I'll go directly to him without going through you. Um, find me a reliable client to contact the other party, and you don't have to intervene for now."
The others looked at each other and roughly understood what he meant. This might be that Mr. Long intended to talk to the other party as a fighter, rather than representing any party.
The person in charge immediately said, "Okay, Mr. Long, we'll arrange it for you."
