Chapter 213: Spatial Tremor

Time passed slowly.

The Great Sun set, the Taiyin rose, and moonlight spilled down.

Inside the room, Qingfeng could no longer hold on; he plopped onto the ground, gasping for air, and the Luck Anomaly vanished in a flash, just like a power outage.

Li Heng withdrew from his state of enlightenment.

His gains this time were significant; relying on Qingfeng's Luck Anomaly and the radiation of the Luck Light, he had already comprehended half of the blank Rule Principles represented by the gray, misty gases within the Tai Chu Dao Stone.

He had gained insight into a portion of the Origin Secret.

Just as he had guessed before.

These gray, misty gases were the origin of Rule Principles. However, with limited information, he did not know if these gray, misty gases could evolve into all Rule Principles.

He pulled up his Data Panel.

He discovered that as his comprehension deepened, the cost on the panel to comprehend rules and elevate them to the Standard Innate level had decreased significantly; now it only consumed twice his Qi and Blood!

It could be called an unexpected joy.

Collecting his wandering thoughts, he looked at Qingfeng, who was sitting on the ground.

"Little Dharma Master Qingfeng, how do you feel?"

Li Heng smiled slightly.

Qingfeng shook his head hurriedly like a rattle-drum.

He always felt that if things continued like this, he would be exhausted to death.

"I actually feel you are doing quite well. Has the Little Dharma Master not noticed yet? In the beginning, you couldn't even sustain your Luck Anomaly for half a day, but now? You can already sustain it for a whole day."

"You are making progress, and progress will make your master happy."

That devilish, hellish voice echoed in Qingfeng's ears.

He shivered, feeling that Li Heng wanted to bewitch him again. But upon second thought, he realized it was indeed the case; the time he could persist had truly lengthened, and he had made progress.

That way, his master would also be happy.

Having figured out this logic, Qingfeng felt a boost in spirit and nodded.

Although he always felt something was wrong somewhere...

At this moment, Li Heng suddenly sensed that the progress of the Earth Visualization on his Divine Dao clone had already reached fifty percent, breaking through the critical point; it was time to spend one thousand points of Source Power to semi-manifest it.

And he currently had enough Source Power.

Although he had previously spent two thousand points to temporarily boost his combat power to suppress and kill Feng Zhenghao, because he had wandered around Jinhua Bell these past few days and accidentally turned up the power, he had basically wiped out all the demons and Weird entities hiding in the city.

Therefore, he had also added a considerable amount of Source Power.

Consumption and expenditure were basically balanced.

Currently, he still had 6,126 points of Source Power.

Having calculated the data, Li Heng did not delay; he threw another one thousand points of Source Power at it, raising the Earth Dharma Image to the Standard Innate level, though he did not intend to continue raising it further.

Although he still had over five thousand points of Source Power, enough to raise the Earth Dharma Image to the Great Innate level, he had discovered in previous situations that he did not yet have the ability to make the Great Sun Dharma Image and the Earth Dharma Image compatible without them repelling or contending with each other.

Just like the anomaly he manifested before.

The Haohan Dari illuminating the Boundless Earth.

In it, the Haohan Dari was the primary, with a higher level, while the Boundless Earth was secondary, with a level not yet at Innate; it was equivalent to the Great Sun Dharma Image encompassing the Earth Dharma Image, rather than a perfect fusion.

If these two Dharma Aspects were made completely equal.

Then it would be impossible to form a grade difference or an encompassing relationship. Instead, it would be impossible to manifest the anomaly of the Haohan Dari illuminating the Boundless Earth again, which would be equivalent to crippling his own martial arts.

Not to mention that the remaining five thousand plus points of Source Power were his reserve.

Unless he encountered an emergency, he could not use them casually.

Just like when dealing with Feng Zhenghao before.

If he hadn't kept a reserve of Source Power to explode temporarily, things would have been troublesome. He didn't believe he was a protagonist who could break through in the heat of battle, so he always left himself some leeway.

However, according to his estimation.

The situation where the two Dharma Aspects repelled each other would not last long.

Once his realm truly stepped into Second Heaven Peak, or he truly achieved the Dharma Aspect, he would be able to combine the two perfectly without repulsion, and even exert an effect where one plus one is greater than three.

By then.

The Great Sun Dharma Aspect would represent Heaven, the Earth Dharma Aspect would represent Earth, and the combination of the two would be Heaven and Earth—a vast, infinite objective external world, rather than being purely limited to one side of space-time or one World. At that time, his combat power might be able to sweep across the entire Dharma Aspect great realm!

It's just that he didn't know how many levels the Dharma Aspect was divided into?

Li Heng pondered in his heart, then immediately shook his head and cast the thought out of his mind. Guessing blindly here was meaningless. It would be better to wait until tomorrow to ask Xuan Dao.

"Um, I feel my state is a bit better."

"Shall we continue?"

"As long as I can make progress, I suppose Master will also be very happy."

At this time, Qingfeng stood up and asked timidly.

This...

Li Heng looked at Qingfeng's pale complexion, then looked at the dark night outside the house, and immediately fell into deep thought. Was this child really that simple? He almost felt a sense of guilt for exploiting child labor.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and spoke.

"It's very late today, you should go and rest; it won't be too late to continue tomorrow. Kong Que, take him to the room next door to rest."

Watching Qingfeng, who was somewhat reluctant but was dragged away by Kong Que, Li Heng sighed; he hoped his master wouldn't come to settle scores with him when he returned.

This was not Li Heng turning over a new leaf or becoming a new person.

It was because he clearly sensed.

As Qingfeng's state declined, the acceleration effect would also decline. It would be better to let him rest well before continuing the acceleration. The accelerator's temperature was too high, so of course, it needed to cool down properly.

It would be bad if it burned out, and he couldn't find a second one.

"Achoo!"

Longquan Commandery, on a plaza at Dragon Tiger Mountain, the ancestral home of the Dao Sect.

Qingfeng, an old Daoist who was purchasing resources, sneezed and couldn't help but shake his head in confusion. He was, after all, a Half-step Dharma Aspect; how could he still sneeze? Could it be that his disciple was thinking of him?

Come to think of it, he didn't know how the boy had been doing these past few days.

But he must be doing very well.

After all, his disciple possessed Heaven and Earth Luck, and that Li Jushi seemed like a discerning person who would absolutely not mistreat his disciple; he was likely being served good food and drink, thereby sharing in a sliver of good fortune.

Still, he would have to criticize this approach once he returned.

It was better for a child to be tempered and trained.

Eating and drinking so lavishly—what kind of decorum was that?

"Hey, Qingxu, do you still want this Geng Metal Soul or not?"

"You won't find this stuff on Dragon Tiger Mountain, and this is something I obtained after traveling north and south, exploring ruined Cave Heaven, and going through nine deaths and one life; the price is not high."

"If you don't want it, I'll just sell it to someone else."

A Daoist pointed at a stone on his stall that was filled with the killing intent of Geng Metal and said impatiently.

"Oh, yes, yes, I want it." Qingfeng heard this and hurriedly replied.

Now that even the last attribute of the origin items had been gathered, once he prepared some Tiger Wolf Great Elixir to boost his Qi and Blood, it would be time for him to set off and meet his disciple.

On the road from Bei'an City to the Prefecture of Jinhua City.

Wang Donglai and Wang Ling, the brother and sister, had already lit a campfire by the side of the official road, looking cautiously at the old beggar beside them.

Oh no, the old senior.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for this old senior getting in the way of some things, they would have already reached the next city; how could they have ended up sleeping in this wilderness? But thinking about it, with the old senior's protection, there was no need to worry about danger.

Wang Donglai muttered in his heart.

"Hehe, kid, I know exactly what you're thinking inside that belly of yours. But don't be resentful; your sister being able to become my disciple is a blessing from three lifetimes."

"Not to mention that your sister's bloodline is somewhat special."

"There are few in the world who can teach her."

The old man chuckled.

Wang Donglai wore a look of suspicion.

Was it really that exaggerated?

Few in the world could teach her? Was his sister's bloodline really that special? At most, it was just a mutated Divine Path Bloodline.

"Hmph, kid, don't you disbelieve me."

"An ordinary Wang Family Divine Path Bloodline is not like this. Let's put it this way: your sister's bloodline has already congenitally condensed a Divine Position, a Divine Position of the light aspect."

"It's just that this Divine Position has been hibernating and hiding all along."

The old man smiled slightly.

But in his pupils, a few traces of regret inadvertently appeared. It was a pity that it was just a little off; if it weren't purely light, not purely brilliant, but inclined toward the Great Sun...

Wang Donglai suddenly became interested.

"Then Senior, how should my sister's bloodline be developed?"

"You kid are sharp enough, trying to pry information out of me? But you don't need to pry. Come, girl, come over here; I will teach you a set of basic techniques. Once you finish laying the foundation, you will be at the Innate realm."

He beckoned for Wang Ling, who had been silent all this time, to come over.

But as soon as his voice fell, a sudden change occurred.

Trembling, everything around them was trembling.

The earth was trembling, the trees were trembling, even the sky was trembling, and even the people were trembling.

The old man's pupils shrank sharply.

"Not good! Run!"

He unleashed a Supernatural Ability, wrapped up the siblings Wang Donglai and Wang Ling, turned into a streak of light, and fled rapidly into the distance.

And the next moment, at the very spot they had just been.

With a crack, the space collapsed.

Violent Void Turbulence surged out from within, scouring everything around it. A small hill was accidentally grazed by the Void Turbulence and was unfortunately scoured into nothingness.

And this was not an isolated case.

Throughout Beijun, this phenomenon appeared; the range of the vibration varied, with small ones perhaps a few meters in radius, but large ones covering the area of an entire city!

Great Li Imperial Palace, on Zhaixing Tower.

Li Tiangang, the Chief of the Imperial Observatory, stood with his hands behind his back, using the Star Gazing Technique to monitor the Luck of the Imperial Court, his expression sorrowful. Seeing a meteor streak across the north and Yinghuo Guards the Heart in the Starry Sky, his face became even uglier.

There was a disaster in the north, and the Calamity was not small.

At this time, three miles outside Jinhua City.

A large mountain peak had originally stood here, towering into the clouds. But now, this mountain peak was half a head shorter. It was like a triangle that had been cut in half, turning into a trapezoid.

Li Heng was here, with his Great Sun Dharma Image and Earth Dharma Image appearing behind him, suppressing the surrounding Void. He finally managed to stop it before this spatial vibration could affect Jinhua City.

He frowned slightly; didn't Xuandao say it would be a while?

Why did the anomaly appear now?

And it was this kind of deadly spatial quake?

At this moment, Xuandao and the others finally noticed the clues and flew over as streaks of light. Seeing that Li Heng had already arrived early, they froze in the air, then looked at the mountain peak that was half a head shorter, and were stunned.

"What happened here?"
