#149 - Living Water
Accompanying Zhang Chen's transformation back into water, this time Zhang Chen clearly felt the difference. Although the water was still water, it possessed the characteristics of the Yellow Springs water and Weak Water. Most importantly, the water actually had the ability to flow on its own.
The water flowed on the floor, running back and forth.
Although the speed of the water wasn't fast, at most the speed of an ordinary person running, it was still a huge improvement.
Most importantly, Zhang Chen felt that with his possession of the divine water properties, the temperature in the air no longer affected him.
The pool of water silently flowed through the corner of the room, then drilled into the gap, shrinking into a ball and hiding. The next moment, the water turned into mist. The mist was small, only a faint wisp. As a draft blew through, the mist seemed to freeze in mid-air, unaffected by the wind.
"It's the characteristic of Weak Water, neutralizing the effect of any force," Zhang Chen hovered in mid-air, feeling that his divine power was somewhat heaven-defying.
Then, the next moment, the mist Zhang Chen transformed into floated up, actually facing the draft, drifting freely in the void, wandering through every corner of the room.
"After I transform into mist, the fastest speed of movement is the same as my full running speed," Zhang Chen flashed, the mist coiled in the air, transforming into Zhang Chen's appearance, and directly sat on the chair:
"Most importantly, my means of escape have greatly increased. There are probably very few places in this world that can trap me."
"Most importantly, because I possess the divine water properties, I am no longer afraid of the interference of the external natural environment. However, if I'm in the county, transforming into mist in broad daylight is a bit conspicuous. After all, a wisp of mist suddenly floating by would make people feel very strange. But if it is in the mountains, especially the famous mountains and rivers shrouded in clouds and mist, it is simply the best cover."
Zhang Chen sat on the table, feeling that his ability to escape had become unimaginably strong.
"I'm too strong! I can have fun to my heart's content in the future," Zhang Chen muttered to himself, carefully looking at the golden finger panel, then his eyes fell on Note 2:
[Note 2: Suffering an attack that exceeds the upper limit of endurance will cause a return to human form]
"Upper limit attack?" Zhang Chen thought thoughtfully. The so-called upper limit is actually the upper limit of what his own strength can withstand. For example, if his Righteous God's Light is at the fourth level, the upper limit of the attack he can withstand is the fourth level. The power below the fourth level is ineffective against him, but if he suffers a fourth-level power attack, he must return to his original state to fight the enemy.
But relying on the concealment of his transformation, who would pay attention to a pool of water on the ground?
Moreover, the main value of this skill is escape, allowing him to escape from places that would otherwise be impossible to escape from. This is the true purpose of the skill, not to fight with others.
Zhang Chen pondered the transformation technique, and was not disappointed with Note 2. Besides, after possessing the divine water properties, to reach the upper limit of attack, at least the grade must be comparable to his own.
Zhang Chen became more and more happy at this time. His skill was truly heaven-defying. As long as he wasn't killed instantly, he could take the opportunity to escape.
Moreover, the mist can float into the high sky. If he encounters an enemy, he can try to delay the other party for a while, and when he floats into the sky, even if the other party's strength is higher than his own, they will not be able to do anything to him.
Zhang Chen stood in front of the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and a yearning arose in his heart.
Riding the void and traveling the sky is an instinct that humans cannot suppress.
"Now the night is dark, it is the best time for me to take the opportunity to test the skill."
Zhang Chen turned into a wisp of mist, drilled out directly through the crack in the window, and then went straight to the high sky.
A wisp of mist was already inconspicuous, and with the cover of the night at this time, as long as no one was deliberately staring, Zhang Chen felt that he would never be exposed.
Zhang Chen flew straight to the high sky. As he flew higher and higher, the Gang wind gradually formed, but it could not do anything to the mist Zhang Chen transformed into. The mist Zhang Chen transformed into arbitrarily shuttled through the airflow layer, regarding the level seven or eight wind as nothing.
Zhang Chen floated higher and higher all the way, until he floated to several thousand meters, and looked down at the earth, only to see the mountains were silent, as if they were covered with a layer of silver-white gauze.
Zhang Chen looked up at the bright moon in the sky again, and his mind moved, continuing to climb upward, but after climbing another few thousand meters, the mist Zhang Chen transformed into stopped, fixed in the void.
At this time, a hurricane was raging in the void, and its airflow had reached the entry-level level.
"The power of this hurricane has reached the entry-level level, but I haven't seen the atmosphere of this world yet. How high is the atmosphere of this world?" A trace of contemplation appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes. Facing the first-level Gang wind, his speed did not decrease at all, and he continued to climb upward, but after climbing another thousand meters, the power of the Gang wind had reached the second level. No matter how the hurricane howled in the air, it couldn't do anything to the mist, and at this time Zhang Chen's movement stopped.
"The higher you go, the stronger the Gang wind becomes. In the end, I'm afraid there will be a twelve-level Gang wind, but I still haven't seen the atmosphere of this world. Could it be that this world has no atmosphere? Or is it that this world is not a sphere? Nor is it round?"
The mist Zhang Chen transformed into was fixed in place, glanced at the world after the hurricane, which was an even more chaotic and disorderly hurricane, and turned around and flew back.
This is not a place for him to come.
With the help of the cover of the night, Zhang Chen returned to the house silently, then yawned and lay on the bed: "I'm very sleepy today, let's go to sleep first."
A night without words
"Dang ~" The bell for morning class rang, Xiao Douding walked down from upstairs sleepily, yawning and saying: "Zhang Chen, get up for morning class."
Xiao Douding walked out from downstairs in a milky voice, and then came to Zhang Chen's bed and shouted at Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen was very sleepy, very sleepy.
"Can I ask for leave for morning class?" Zhang Chen asked in a daze.
It is a good thing that the soul is refined, but the disadvantages are also obvious. The weakness of the soul caused Zhang Chen to be unable to cheer up.
"If you are not afraid of the Enforcement Elder's board, just lie on the bed and continue to sleep," Xiao Douding said angrily.
"Damn evil society, I'm already cultivating immortality, and I still have to be exploited," Zhang Chen cursed on the bed, and then got up with a perseverance.
Hearing Zhang Chen still talking about cultivating immortality, a trace of worry appeared in Xiao Douding's eyes: "It's over, Junior Brother's condition is getting worse, why is there no sign of getting better? Could it be that Elder Zhang's dosage is wrong? Or is it not the right medicine?"
Cheng Yu's eyes showed a trace of worry, watching Zhang Chen get up, but when he got out of bed, he seemed to be drunk, his body actually staggered and almost fell to the ground, which startled Cheng Yu to quickly step forward to support Zhang Chen, his eyes showing a trace of worry: "Junior Brother, what's wrong with you?"
“I'm fine, I just feel a little heavy.” Zhang Chen moved his wrists and ankles, this was the result of his soul's power being insufficient to fully control his physical body.
“The soul is like a person, and the physical body is like a burden. Originally, a normal person has a balance between the two, but now, with the weakening of the soul, the balance is broken. The soul is burdened too much, and naturally, it will be clumsy and slow to control the body.” Zhang Chen constantly analyzed his own situation, but he was not in a hurry. As he recuperated, his soul power gradually recovered, and when the time came, he would naturally be able to eliminate the hidden dangers.
The little dumpling served Zhang Chen with his washing up, and watching Zhang Chen's clumsy movements, he felt that the current Zhang Chen was somewhat abnormal, his eyes filled with worry.
“Are you really okay?” The two walked on the road, the little dumpling supporting Zhang Chen, and asked with concern.
“I'm fine, your junior brother is strong.” Zhang Chen smiled and comforted Cheng Yu.
But the more Zhang Chen had this expression, the more worried the little dumpling became, and he thought with some guilt: “I secretly gave junior brother medicine to eat, why is it getting more and more serious? Could it be that the medicine is not right for the illness?”
The little dumpling felt guilty and became more and more unsure.
Zhang Chen and the little dumpling came to the main hall with the crowd, and everyone stood in formation according to their shifts and began to chant the Huang Ting Sutra together.
The two stood at the end, following the crowd and muddling through. In order to appease the little dumpling, Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows at the little dumpling, and the little dumpling blinked at Zhang Chen in response. The two were very comfortable making faces at each other.
Zhang Chen looked at the little dumpling's worried face, and in order to relieve the little girl's nervous mood, Zhang Chen stretched out his foot and kicked the little dumpling's toes, and then lowered his voice and said: “I bet you don't even know what you're reciting.”
The little dumpling rolled his eyes when he heard this: “It's as if anyone knows what they're reciting. Everyone is illiterate and just humming along.”
At this moment, a burst of dark fragrance came, accompanied by a faint jasmine fragrance, and a large red robe appeared beside the two.
Zhang Chen and the little dumpling looked over subconsciously, and when they saw the familiar red robe, their hearts jumped: It's that noble lady!
The two did not dare to continue making faces, and stood in the line with a serious face, reciting the Huang Ting Sutra.
Xie Lingyun was standing at the back of the line at this time, doing morning classes with everyone, praying that the Huangtian God would bestow grace and help her solve the demon on her body.
Although she noticed that there was a mysterious power in Zhang Chen's small courtyard that could restrain her demon, she had checked the entire small courtyard these two days, and there were no clues at all. Even the mysterious power that burst out seemed to have never existed, which made her heart gradually sink.
At this time, Xie Lingyun's eyes moved and fell on Zhang Chen, and suddenly her eyebrows raised: “Hey, this kid is a little weird, it seems that his soul is injured, how can the power of his soul be so weak? But it's only been overnight, why does he look so badly injured?”
Thinking in her heart, she continued to do her morning class without showing any signs.
After the morning class, the little dumpling looked at Zhang Chen, who was walking a little wobbly, and said: “You go back to rest first, I'll go grab breakfast.”
Then the little dumpling ran to the kitchen with the rice bucket in his arms.
Zhang Chen did not refuse, but returned to his small courtyard all the way. At this time, he only felt thunder in his stomach, and a strong sense of hunger rose in his heart.
“Why am I so hungry?” Zhang Chen sat on the stool, rubbed his eyebrows, and began to practice "The Heavenly Round Earth Diagram" to restore the consumption of his soul.
The little dumpling worked very hard to grab food. Today, he took the lead in receiving two steamed buns and a bucket of porridge. Since Xie Lingyun came to the Taoist temple, the food in the Taoist temple has begun to improve little by little.
“Junior brother, it's time to eat.” Cheng Yu hugged the rice porridge, divided a bucket of rice porridge into two, and then stuffed it into Zhang Chen's arms.
Zhang Chen ate the steamed bun, but always felt that he lacked some fat, and his stomach was empty. Without the nourishment of qi and blood, the recovery speed of the soul was not generally slow.
People have three treasures: essence, qi, and spirit. Qi and blood are the first, and are the source of nourishing essence, qi, and spirit. Although the Heavenly Round Earth Diagram can be visualized to strengthen the soul, it cannot be strengthened out of thin air, and it also needs a source. The role of the Heavenly Round Earth Diagram is to accelerate the nourishment of qi and blood, so that the soul can be strengthened faster.
The Qi Refining Technique is to cultivate mana, but the source of mana is the combination of golden light and the soul, and the Yuanshen is conceived in the mana, so that the soul refined by mana is reborn in the mana.
Therefore, the human body is very important. Once the physical body is lost, the road to the great road is cut off.
At this time, with the weakening of the soul, Zhang Chen's immortal cultivation had to be temporarily stopped: “For me, using the water of the Yellow Springs to temper the soul is not the right way. The water of the Yellow Springs to temper the soul is only suitable for the ghost immortal road, but it is not suitable for the heavenly immortal road.”
“Junior brother, you should go to Elder Zhang to see a doctor with me.” After the two finished eating, Cheng Yu looked at Zhang Chen with a worried face.
“I'm not sick, what kind of doctor should I see! I'll be fine after a period of recuperation.” Zhang Chen refused quickly.
“No, you must go to the doctor with me. You have been practicing martial arts under the guidance of that female demon these days, maybe you have made a mistake, you must go to the elder to see.” The little dumpling tugged at Zhang Chen's sleeve, deliberately finding an excuse to take Zhang Chen to see a doctor in order to cover up his guilt.
Zhang Chen was helpless in his heart. After being pestered by the other party for half an hour, he could only agree to the little dumpling.
The two walked towards the herbal medicine room all the way. On the way, they passed the corner where the coffin was placed. Zhang Chen inadvertently saw the black air on the coffin, and his whole person couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief: He got the luck, and became a climate?
In Zhang Chen's eyes, the black air on the coffin was condensing into shape under the scorching sun at this time, turning into a hazy black shadow. Even the sunlight hanging high in the sky could not extinguish the black shadow. Even the black shadow was constantly tearing in a trace of the sun's light with breathing, becoming its nourishment.
‘Hiss~’
Seeing this scene, Zhang Chen took a breath of cold air, his eyes showing shock, and his eyes were full of horror.
“This monster is not right! It has only just become a climate, but it is not afraid of the sun, and it can even devour the power of the sun?”
“Absorbing the power of the great sun, this is at least the ability of the Yang God realm, right? This monster has only just become a climate, and it has this unique ability? And this monster has actually become a climate under the eyes of the Huangtian Dao?” Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of disbelief: “It's not right, with the strength of that Huangtian Dao elder, how could he not have noticed that this monster has become a climate? Could it be that Huangtian Dao has some plans? Or is it that this thing has blinded Huangtian Dao's perception?”
“Is Huangtian Dao deliberately condoning it, or is it really not discovered?”
