Chapter 345: No Rush

"Why, why do I always encounter people like you!"

Inside the Mountain and River Map, Su Ningxue's voice of unwillingness rang out, as if it were the final eruption of her own emotions, as if she wanted to scream out all the grievances in her heart.

Having just awakened, she encountered Mu Zishan; after finally enduring a hundred years of loneliness only to welcome the Spiritual Qi Surge, she encountered Shen Yu again. Who could understand the bitterness in her heart!

"No one knows that Su Ningxue is Wu Su. Even I have always sealed my own spirit, thinking only that I am Su Ningxue, and never thinking that I am Wu Su!"

"Only by the death of the previous Wu Su could I awaken my true heart. Yet I never thought that such meticulous planning would end up being for nothing. I am not reconciled!"

Accompanied by Su Ningxue's final wail of unwillingness, the power of the Mountain and River Map crushed down, and everything vanished into nothingness.

"This should be a success now!"

Withdrawing the Mountain and River Map, Su Ningxue had completely dissipated under the crushing force; that final wail and despair did not seem fake.

Shen Yu then said in a low voice, "System, sign in!"

"Sign-in successful. Obtained one Hundredfold Insight; for one month, insights into heaven and earth can exceed the past by a hundredfold!"

The insights from one day of cultivation would exceed the previous one hundred days; one month would be about three thousand days, which meant that in this month, he could gain at least eight or nine years of cultivation.

To be honest, this reward was not that great. At his current realm, blind hard work was no longer enough to significantly improve his realm; he needed to comprehend the heaven and earth, and this process would be very long.

Do you not see how many people go into seclusion for ten or twenty years, or even sit in their place of seclusion until death without ever coming out, yet their achievements are few.

Shen Yu was very clear about his own aptitude. Even though he had received many rewards from signing in, which had greatly improved his physique, he still could not be considered top-tier.

A month of Hundredfold Insight would only allow him to improve a little; it could only be said to be better than nothing—having it was better than not having it.

It was a pity, a waste of his expectations; he had thought he might get a big set.

The system's dim light flickered, and the Hundredfold Insight was bestowed upon him. It did not give Shen Yu much time to react, and he immediately began to sit cross-legged on the ground.

The Spiritual Qi in Wuqiu Mountain was dense, making it an excellent choice. Wu Su's character was poor, but she certainly knew how to pick a location.

Unfolding the Mountain and River Map, Shen Yu began to sit cross-legged inside to cultivate hard, so that if there were any danger outside, he would immediately be aware of it.

The pleasure brought by the Hundredfold Insight exceeded the past, and the Spiritual Qi within the Mountain and River Map was far superior to the outside world, which was like adding wings to a tiger.

At this moment, Shen Yu was immersed in infinite insights, and the aura around his body began to expand continuously. Various things that were previously unclear were gradually sorted out, allowing him to clearly feel his progress day by day.

In this way, his aptitude was not too bad; at least he was not gaining nothing.

What Shen Yu did not know was that just a few days after he began his seclusion, the speed of the Spiritual Qi growth began to accelerate, and countless experts in the Jianghu chose to go into seclusion after sensing this anomaly.

Not long after, the Spiritual Qi turned into mist, and within a day or night, the world was filled with mist, and the speed of the Spiritual Qi growth became faster and faster.

With the Spiritual Qi Surge came the recovery of the heaven and earth. At this moment, countless people's insights into the heaven and earth surged, as if the infinite Dao were close at hand, as if the sun, moon, and stars were within reach.

Countless people broke through one after another, becoming more powerful. The realms that had previously trapped them, the barriers that had previously been unbreakable, seemed to shatter at the slightest touch at this moment.

After that, spiritual rain fell from the sky, the Spiritual Qi rose like a tide, plants grew wildly, and beasts roared, as if the entire world, as if all things in heaven and earth, had fallen into cheers, and this rain lasted for a full three days.

Everyone in the Jianghu felt that their realms and their strength were becoming stronger and stronger along with the surge and activity of the Spiritual Qi. They were rejoicing that they had welcomed such a wonderful era.

Even ordinary people who had never practiced martial arts could clearly feel their bodies getting better, just like a field in a long drought encountering sweet dew, suddenly welcoming vitality.

Even the villagers in the countryside seemed to have more and more strength, some white hair began to turn black, as if everyone had suddenly become a strongman.

There were also some who were physically weak who seemed unable to bear the benefits brought by this Spiritual Qi Surge; it was like being too weak to be nourished, and under the nourishment of the Spiritual Qi, they became even weaker, until they could not hold on and died.

However, these things could not dampen the excitement in the hearts of ordinary people; everyone felt that the world was becoming better.

They smiled brightly every day, feeling as if they had finally received mercy after praying every day, making them so excited they could not sleep, making them so agitated they could not control themselves.

But they did not know that sometimes behind beautiful things, fatal killing intent is often hidden; what it brings may not be happiness, but the beginning of a tragedy.

Ordinary Jianghu heroes and ordinary commoners were rejoicing and cheering, but those who knew about the Great Contention Era following the Spiritual Qi Surge were worried and afraid.

If others also knew about the world after the Spiritual Qi Surge, they would understand that upon seeing this rain, what they saw would not be hope, but deep despair.

After this rain, a large number of old monsters would awaken. They were not the last batch, but they would definitely be the batch that brought despair to this world.

With the Spiritual Qi Surge, the limits of the world rose by another level, and the strength of those old monsters would surely recover to a certain degree.

Ordinary experts could not possibly cause them any harm; they would only be delivering themselves as food. Even the experts standing at the very top of the Jianghu would likely no longer be their opponents.

The trend of offense and defense had completely reversed from this point on; they were no longer guardians, but prey. Even if they occasionally bared their fangs and managed to bite one or two old monsters, that was all it would be.

The Spiritual Qi Surge was like the waves washing away the sand, eliminating a batch that could not adapt to the surging Spiritual Qi; those who remained and could withstand the nourishment of the Spiritual Qi were the delicious food.

Those old monsters would slowly open their bloodthirsty fangs to chew up and devour this delicious food.

When all the old monsters had awakened, the entire world would lose its vitality. Ten thousand miles of white bones, everywhere there would be empty cities filled only with deathly aura.

This was not an era worth cheering for, but an era of despair.

But at this time, Shen Yu still did not know what was happening outside and was still in seclusion in the Mountain and River Map, only feeling that the Spiritual Qi seemed to be becoming more and more abundant, and the insights seemed to be becoming more and more intense.

He had never thought that the system's Hundredfold Insight would have such a powerful effect. It was as if he were placed in the vast universe, the endless void was all before him, and he could touch the sun and moon by reaching out his hand.

His realm was growing wildly, his strength was constantly being filled; perhaps because he had touched the limits of the world, his strength could not continue to grow upward, but it was constantly expanding in breadth.

The length might not be able to increase, but the width and breadth were becoming wider and deeper as the Spiritual Qi poured in.

Everything he had learned from signing in was completely fused into himself during this insight, and there was even a feeling of being able to innovate and reach a higher level.

Even when the spiritual rain outside dissipated, Shen Yu felt that the feeling of infinite insights being within reach had faded quite a bit, but it still did not stop.

He could still clearly feel himself improving; this feeling was addictive.

It was just like doing a problem; at first, after seeing the problem, one was unwilling to do it, and subconsciously one's heart was rejecting it.

But when you start doing it, the logic for answering the question appears clearly in your mind, and when you write as if guided by a god, you become unable to stop, wishing that time would give you more.

In such an environment, Shen Yu sat for nearly two months. After the month of Hundredfold Insight passed, Shen Yu sat for another month to digest what he had gained.

It could be said that in these two months, he had gained a great deal, little knowing that the turmoil outside had already begun.

Feelings of panic and anxiety began to spread throughout the world; etiquette, morality, and the bottom line of the law seemed to have begun to slowly collapse.
