Chapter 271: Chapter 173: Survive and Re-enter the Land of Extremes! (Second Update)_3

[But now that you have mastered Sword Flight, the consumption of your Spiritual Power during flight has been reduced to one-tenth of what it was before!]

[In a single day, traveling continuously for ten to twenty thousand miles would be no problem.]

[Therefore, above the skies of Kyoto, citizens can often see a young man in white clothing, flying on a sword.]

Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly.

Initially, for him, escape speed was a significant shortcoming.

The primary reason was that, apart from the pure Spiritual Power required to lift his body during travel being slow,

the consumption of Spiritual Power was also severe. Often, after flying for tens of thousands of miles, Su Xing needed to return to the Spirit Field Cave to replenish his Spiritual Power.

But now, Sword Flight perfectly solved this problem.

“Tsk tsk, if only I had mastered Sword Flight earlier… chasing down that damned Zong would not have been so strenuous” he thought, turning his gaze to the Simulation Panel.

[In the twentieth year, after you started learning the Sword Control Technique, you continued daily practice, hoping to break through to the level of Minor Achievement soon.]

[In the twenty-first year, although your Sword Control Technique had not yet reached the level of Minor Achievement, your speed had increased significantly.]

[So, you decided to try to see if you could collect Spring Dew Pure Water with your current speed.]

[On the day of this year’s Awakening of Insects, you came to a vast mountain range.]

[Dressed in white, you flew on your sword high in the sky, closing your eyes and waiting for the first spring thunder to sound.]

[Your Divine Sense covered the entire mountain range, only waiting for the raindrops to fall.]

[Boom! The thunder roared, and at that moment, you moved…]

[Because your Divine Sense hadn’t reached the Microscopic Realm, you could only sense five drops of Spring Dew Pure Water.]

[You stepped on your flying sword, your figure flashing through the raindrops like an afterimage…]

[A second later, you stopped and stretched out your right hand, looking at your palm.]

[In the palm of your right hand, within a cluster of spiritual energy, were three drops of Spring Dew Pure Water.]

[Capturing three drops of Spring Dew Pure Water in less than half a second was your current limit.]

[These three drops of Spring Dew Pure Water were only enough to refine three Void Refinement Pills, which was far from enough.]

[But you knew that to further improve the efficiency of collecting Spring Dew Pure Water, you needed to simultaneously enhance your Divine Sense and escape speed.]

[In the twenty-second year, after diligently practicing Sword Control Technique for a year, you were ready to try collecting Spring Dew Pure Water again.]

[On the day of the Awakening of Insects, as the first spring thunder fell, you moved…]

[It was still less than a second, but this time, you collected four drops of Spring Dew Pure Water, one more than before.]

[Satisfied with your improvement, you went back to continue the arduous practice of Sword Control Technique.]

[On the twenty-third year of the Awakening of Insects, you tried again, this time collecting five drops of Spring Dew Pure Water.]

[On the twenty-fourth year of the Awakening of Insects, you made progress again, collecting six drops of Spring Dew Pure Water.]

[In the twenty-fifth year, the situation at the Demon-Subduing Pass began to deteriorate, but because the strength of the Human Race was stronger than any previous simulation, they could still hold the line.]

[You knew in your heart that the Demon-Subduing Pass would not fall before the legendary army of the Demon Race arrived.]

[At the same time, you knew this would be your last chance to collect Spring Dew Pure Water.]

[With years of cultivation, your mastery of the Sword Control Technique was becoming more refined, only one step away from reaching the Minor Achievement level.]

[But time waited for no one, and you decided to make one last attempt!]

[Thus, on the Awakening of Insects day, you came once more to the familiar mountains.]

[Divine Sense covering… thunder falling… the first raindrop slipping…]

[And you moved in that instant…]

[A second later, you slowly opened your palm, and within the spiritual energy, there were still six drops of Spring Dew Pure Water.]

[You sighed, knowing that six drops of Spring Dew Pure Water were your current limit. To collect more, you would need to reach the Microscopic Realm in Divine Sense and Minor Achievement in Sword Control Technique…]

[You placed all the eighteen drops of Spring Dew Pure Water you had collected over the years into a jade bottle.]

[In the following days, you spent time with family and friends, cherishing the final moments.]

[Before long, the news came that the Demon-Subduing Pass had fallen…]

[A few months later, a giant beast descended upon the real world, swallowing the entire Great Xia Country in one gulp!]

[You did not resist, being swallowed along with the entire continental plate into the beast’s abdomen.]

[You watched as countless lives faded before your eyes, but you remained silent, unable to save them.]

[Inside the beast’s abdomen, there was pitch darkness, uncontrollable weightlessness, and violent spinning.]

[You activated your Origin Force Armor, raised your Protective Gang Qi, and tried to stabilize yourself as much as possible, avoiding being drawn deeper into the abyss.]

[Even though it was pitch black, as a cultivator, night vision was no issue for you.]

[You witnessed the continental plates collapsing again, the thousand-mile-high mountains toppling and turning into dust…]

[It was impossible to tell how long had passed when the once-whole continent became so fragmented that original shapes were unrecognizable. The mountains and forests had long disappeared…]

[At that moment, you saw the scene of countless small parallel worlds near Blue Star colliding after the world collapsed.]

[Two fragments of small worlds slowly approached and ultimately collided!]

[Boom! Instantly, a powerful spatial turbulence and space fragments erupted, and the two space fragments vanished…]

[After the spatial turbulence dissipated, thunderclouds and the power of thunder began to emerge.]

[You seized the moment and dashed to a nearby small thunderous area.]

[With previous experience, you understood that before all world fragments dissipated, you had to break your limits with as much thunder power as possible!]

[Only then could you achieve a Heavenly Thunder Physique and step into the Realm of Shattering Void!]
