Chapter 384: The True Meaning of Canglan

In the abyss.

Blue light surged wave after wave, like a tide.

Lin Chen's pupils narrowed slightly, staring at the blue light in the endless abyss. Those blue lights that surged out like a tide were first scattered blue light, and only later condensed into waves, constantly surging up like a tide.

All of Lin Chen's mind was attracted the moment the first wave of blue light surged out, and his heart beat along with the surging tide of blue light.

A wave of tide blue light surged out, and the heart beat once.

The frequency went from slow to fast.

The tide became denser and denser.

The blue light that originally only surged about one zhang from the abyss, as wave after wave came, the distance began to gradually pull away, from one zhang to two zhang...

The previous wave had not dissipated, and the next wave rose again.

"What exactly is Canglan?"

Lin Chen whispered. "Vast and dark, its abyss unfathomable"—this was a bit hard to understand.

But he understood the next sentence.

"There are waves like tides, their light is blue, named Canglan."

The waves of blue light he saw now, surging out from the abyss, very much fit this sentence.

"So the so-called Canglan is actually fluctuation?"

Lin Chen raised his finger, and the moment his heart beat, he pointed out the Canglan Finger.

In the darkness, the Canglan energy shot out by the Canglan Finger was clearly visible, and the entire darkness was like a water surface, split open by the Canglan energy.

The Canglan energy went straight forward, while on both sides there was blue light rippling forward like water waves.

"Palm Seven?"

Lin Chen thought of Palm Six and Palm Seven that he created when he comprehended the Wind and Cloud Palm back then.

Inch strength instantaneous burst!

Several forces burst and superimposed together.

It's just that this requires a process of accumulation in the early stage, which is why there are Palm One, Palm Two, Palm Three... until the whole body's Qi and blood are mobilized to the limit, can Palm Six and Palm Seven be performed.

And now...

Lin Chen turned his finger into a palm and slapped out lightly. The Canglan energy turned into a piece of blue light and brushed across this darkness, and in this piece of Canglan energy, he saw fluctuations, fluctuations like that tide.

"The more times it fluctuates, the stronger the power?"

There was a hint of light in Lin Chen's eyes. He vaguely grasped a certain characteristic of Canglan. Perhaps this is not the whole true meaning of Canglan, but it should be one of the unique characteristics belonging to Canglan.

Especially when he slapped his palm every time, his heart would beat along with it. It seemed like it was just beating once, but under subtle perception, he could clearly find that this beat of the heart drove the whole body to appear with amplitude.

Amplitude is fluctuation!

But fluctuation alone is not enough, it also needs superposition...

Only by superposition can the power be enhanced.

Lin Chen took a deep breath, letting the roar of his heart beating resonate perfectly with the fluctuation of the abyss tide.

He stared at the Canglan tide that never stopped in the abyss, suddenly raised his hand to draw a profound trajectory, and slapped out with a palm.

When the palm wind first started, it was only like a breeze brushing the face, but after breaking through one zhang of darkness—

Three visible Canglan ripples superimposed in the dark void, turning into azure giant waves and slapping down with a bang.

The dark space was actually torn with spiderweb-like cracks, and then collapsed in a large area, filled with Canglan energy.

One palm, two palms, three palms...

When the ninth Canglan ripple was found, the entire Canglan energy was difficult to stabilize and began to spread toward the surroundings, unable to continue breaking through the darkness forward.

"It's my rhythm that's wrong. Every time after more than seven Canglan ripples, the heartbeat and breathing cannot be in the same frequency as the Canglan tide in the abyss, and it needs to be adjusted." The Canglan tide in the abyss disappears every one hundred breaths, and then after another ten breaths, it begins to emerge again.

The first thirty Canglan tides are faster wave by wave, the speed is constantly superimposed, but after thirty breaths, the speed is slower, wave by wave emerging slower, but it can push the entire Canglan energy one step further forward.

Lin Chen did not continue to slap his palm, but observed the Canglan tide in the abyss, feeling the rhythm of these Canglan tides from fast to slow, and from slow to fast.

At the same time, he synchronized his breathing frequency with the rise and fall of the tide.

The tide is fast, the breathing rhythm is fast.

The tide is slow, the breathing rhythm is slow.

Once, one hundred breaths.

Twice, two hundred breaths.

In the darkness, Lin Chen observed tirelessly...

One hour later.

Du Xiaofeng appeared in the Scripture Hall plaza and was about to enter.

"No need to come in, Lin Chen is fine."

Before stepping into the main hall, Du Xiaofeng heard the voice from the withered old man in the main hall, and his expression became respectful: "Thank you, Junior Uncle, for taking care of Lin Chen."

With these words from the Junior Uncle, he knew he didn't need to worry about Lin Chen's safety.

"May I ask Junior Uncle, why did the Canglan Canon have such a change?"

Since there was no life-threatening danger, Du Xiaofeng had other thoughts. His own disciple made the Canglan Canon have this situation, but Junior Uncle said Lin Chen was fine. It is very likely that this had appeared before, but why hadn't he heard of it?

As a sect elder, they know many secrets of the sect.

"Heart of Canglan."

The withered old man gave the answer. Lin Chen worshiped Du Xiaofeng as his teacher, and this matter also needs to be told to Du Xiaofeng later.

"Heart of Canglan?"

A ray of essence burst out in Du Xiaofeng's eyes. He didn't know that the Canglan Canon would have such a change, but he had heard of the Heart of Canglan.

It has been recorded in the sect's secret books that if someone is extremely compatible with Canglan energy, they can comprehend the Heart of Canglan.

Relying on the Heart of Canglan, practicing all techniques of the Canglan Sect related to Canglan energy will be a thousand miles a day. Techniques that are obscure and difficult to understand in the eyes of others can be practiced to entry in just a few hours in the hands of disciples who possess the Heart of Canglan.

Disciples who possess the Heart of Canglan are disciples gifted by heaven to the Canglan Sect.

In the historical records of the Canglan Sect, five thousand years ago, there was a young man in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao who came into contact with Canglan energy before entering the sect and also condensed the Heart of Canglan. Later, he was personally brought back to the sect by the contemporary Wanxiang Sect powerhouse of the Canglan Sect and taken as a disciple.

And that disciple later had a great reputation in the entire Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, leading the Canglan Sect to expand its territory by more than double, ranking as the fifth ancestor of the Canglan Sect.

The Canglan Sect has a long history, and even Wanxiang Realm powerhouses have been born quite a few, but from the founding of the Canglan Sect to now, only five can be called ancestors. The first one is naturally the founding ancestor of the Canglan Sect, and the following three have made huge contributions to the Canglan Sect.

The second ancestor turned the tide when the sect faced a crisis, preventing the destruction of the Canglan Sect.

The third, fourth, and fifth ancestors all opened up territory for the Canglan Sect, allowing the territory of the Canglan Region to expand.

"Junior Uncle, Lin Chen has the Heart of Canglan, so is it inappropriate for the nephew to teach Lin Chen?"

Du Xiaofeng thought that the fifth ancestor was brought back to the sect by a Wanxiang powerhouse of the sect to be personally cultivated back then. Now Lin Chen also has the Heart of Canglan, but he is only an elder of the fifth stage of the Innate Realm. Is it inappropriate for him to serve as Lin Chen's master?

Although he also wanted to have a disciple with unlimited potential, out of consideration for Lin Chen's own martial arts development, if Lin Chen could be taught by the sect's Supreme Elder, he would choose to let go and let Lin Chen worship the Supreme Elder as his teacher.

"No need to change."

The withered old man knew what Du Xiaofeng was thinking, but Du Xiaofeng only knew that the fifth ancestor had the Heart of Canglan, but didn't know that there had been quite a few disciples in the sect who had also condensed the Heart of Canglan in these five thousand years, but these disciples failed to reach the height of the fifth ancestor.

Back then, the fifth ancestor condensed the Heart of Canglan upon first contact with Canglan energy, while Lin Chen condensed the Heart of Canglan relying on the Canglan Divine Scripture. There is still a gap between the two.
