A crimson sun leaped from the horizon of the vast sea, bursting forth with myriad rays of golden-red light that reflected off the water, making the waves shimr beautifully. Endless ripples reflected the golden light, spreading out layer upon layer to create an indescribable beauty. Coupled with the sea breeze tinged with the scent of fish, it imparted a feeling of boundless openness and unparalleled comfort.
"So beautiful. This is the most stunning sunrise I've ever seen."
"This is even more exciting than fooling around with won. I love crossing the ocean like this, without a hint of technology."
Chen Chaoyue and Ma Rufei were both marveling at the sight.
They were sprawled out on Xiao Xuanzi's back, each with a cigarette dangling from their mouths. A large ashtray filled with cigarette butts sat beside them.
Zhang Bin, however, was sitting cross-legged, diligently cultivating.
He was about to go to the most powerful nation of genetically enhanced humans. It was also currently the most technologically advanced nation on Earth and, furthermore, the world hegemon.
If he were rely going for tourism, there probably wouldn't be a problem.
But he was going to participate in the World King of Gamblers tournant and was determined to achieve an excellent result.
Heaven only knew what kind of masters he would encounter or whether he would attract envy and be embroiled in conflict.
Therefore, he had to be thoroughly prepared. The stronger he was, the safer he would be.
He had not yet reached the Liquid State Middle Stage; he was still painstakingly accumulating True Qi.
Indeed, the space within his Dantian was just like this shimring sea—vast and boundless. It was so beautiful, so moving.
Yet, there was a huge difference between the two.
My own Dantian Sea is stagnant and devoid of vitality. anwhile, the sea outside has sunlight, sea breezes, birds in flight, green islands, and countless fish swimming in its waters. What is vitality? It is life. It is sunlight. It is greenery. It is the undulating waves. In short, it is motion! Life is about movent; water that doesn't move is stagnant and will eventually stink. I must make the liquid ford from the True Qi in my Dantian move as well, and it must emulate the shimring sea before …
Gradually, Zhang Bin beca lost in a miraculous state of Dao Comprehension.
Within the space of his Dantian, besides the liquid True Qi, there was now also gaseous True Qi. This gas began to flow naturally, gradually forming a breeze, which in so areas intensified into strong winds.
As it blew across the surface of the sea, waves finally appeared.
Within that great sea, the liquid True Qi ford countless undercurrents, flowing at varying speeds. The sea was roused from its lifeless calm, transitioning from stillness to motion.
Aside from the absence of a sun and vegetation on its small island, it was almost identical to the ocean outside.
Then, sothing miraculous happened, catching Zhang Bin completely off guard.
His Dantian suddenly burst forth with a force that seed capable of devouring Heaven and Earth, and this force projected through his body into the outside world.
WHOOSH...
Instantly, a huge vortex ford, spinning wildly. Gales howled as seawater was drawn up into the air, spiraling frantically.
Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue cried out in alarm as they too were swept into the vortex, whirling crazily around Zhang Bin.
"Help..."
"What's happening?"
Dizzy and disoriented, they shouted in terror.
Fortunately, Xiao Xuanzi's body was massive now, and he possessed the special ability to control water, so he was not sucked into the vortex.
This vortex was anything but simple; it was mysterious and unpredictable. Even Zhang Bin himself hadn't the slightest clue what was happening.
HISS...
A strange sound arose as strands of Spiritual Energy were separated from the seawater and then devoured by Zhang Bin's Dantian. They mixed with the True Qi, so turning into liquid and rging into the sea of True Qi. Thus, the amount of liquid in his sea of True Qi kept increasing.
What on Earth is happening?
Zhang Bin himself was completely dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe such a thing could occur.
In this era, there was hardly any Spiritual Energy in the air; what little existed was negligible. However, seawater contained slightly more. After all, Spiritual Energy dissolved easily in water, and the many plants growing in the ocean had the ability to synthesize it. When these plants died, the Spiritual Energy within them would escape and dissolve into the seawater. Nevertheless, even the Spiritual Energy in the seawater was very faint.
Separating Spiritual Energy from seawater was a feat that even a Nascent Soul Stage Master might not be able to accomplish.
But Zhang Bin had suddenly grasped the true essence of life, triggering so Heavenly Rule and causing this mysterious phenonon. Not only did he separate the Spiritual Energy from the seawater, but he also devoured it into his Dantian.
For cultivators, directly absorbing Spiritual Energy into their Dantians was impossible. They needed to refine it. This ant using their bodies as processing plants, employing special cultivation techniques to digest the Spiritual Energy and convert it into True Qi before it could enter the Dantian.
But now, Spiritual Energy had mixed directly into the space of Zhang Bin's Dantian. According to the cultivation techniques of Earth, he was suffering from cultivation deviation and could die a violent death at any mont.
However, Zhang Bin was not practicing an Earth cultivation technique but the Qingmu Longevity Technique from Xuanwu Star. Perhaps this was a miraculous epiphany, one that might even be suitable for the geniuses among Earth Cultivators.
Therefore, not only did he not die a violent death, but he reaped imnse benefits. He felt that, at this mont, the Heaven and Earth within his Dantian connected with the Heaven and Earth outside.
The internal and external worlds rge into one.
This was a comntary from the Tao Te Ching, sothing Zhang Bin had never been able to understand before. But at this mont, he now understood. It ant the world within his Dantian connecting with the outside world, becoming one.
When heaven and earth first opened, Spiritual Energy entered the body, turned into clouds, and added vitality.
This was a line from the Qingmu Longevity Technique. Previously, Zhang Bin had also been unable to comprehend its aning. But now he understood that it referred to his current situation.
A mysterious force within his Dantian devoured the Spiritual Energy from the seawater. Most of it gathered together, forming white clouds tinged with a faint green. The rest rged into his True Qi, causing it to beco restless and agitated. It began to flow of its own accord, creating undercurrents at the bottom of the Dantian Sea.
Even the air ford from True Qi absorbed so Spiritual Energy, becoming equally restless and transforming into wind that whistled and blew. The sea of liquid True Qi ford even more natural waves. It no longer looked stagnant but pulsed with abundant vitality.
As Spiritual Energy mixed in, the volu of liquid in the Dantian Sea increased rapidly.
BOOM...
Suddenly, a thunderclap resounded within Zhang Bin's soul, and an invisible barrier was instantly shattered.
He had broken through a small bottleneck, reaching the Liquid State Middle Stage!
It was nothing short of a miracle
