Chapter 707: Chapter 697 Starting Over

After witnessing the stunning scene of the giant whale consuming clouds, Wen Wen smacked his lips, feeling somewhat unfulfilled.

"Was there a Catastrophe Level being trying to descend just now, then it got repelled by a ray of light, and subsequently, the giant whale ate the passage?"

That was probably the most frivolous Catastrophe arrival Wen Wen had ever experienced.

Wen Wen turned his head to look a few times and noticed that the Spirit Plant People on the whale’s back took it as normal, only outsiders like superpower users like himself would make a fuss about it; this indicated that such scenes were common occurrences for the Spirit Plant People.

He quickly ran to Xun Qing’s side, finding that many superpower users had already started to wait here for an answer.

Xun Qing played with her hair and said, "You all are shocked, aren’t you? I almost dropped my jaw the first time I saw it, but on the back of the Sky Curtain Giant Whale, this kind of thing happens every eight to ten days."

"This vast sea is not like the land where there are people everywhere. There are many monsters that want to invade reality from the sea. The main mission of the Sky Curtain Giant Whale and Hunter Island is to drive those monsters back to where they came from!"

After hearing this, Wen Wen frowned, "If it happens every eight to ten days, then just how many monsters are lurking and eyeing the real world? I remember a Catastrophe Level being needs to perform complex rituals to enter reality..."

Xun Qing explained with a smile, "Actually, it’s not as many as you think. It’s just the same few, over and over again, all of which have successfully entered the real world before and then been expelled."

"Those monsters wander between the cracks of the two worlds, always trying to descend upon this world..."

After leaving Xun Qing, Wen Wen felt even more that this world seems stable but is in fact as precarious as a pile of eggs.

If it weren’t for the Sky Curtain Giant Whale and Hunter Island, those Catastrophic Creatures would probably all rush into the real world, causing a bloody storm in the Federation.

This made him have a strong and urgent desire to enhance his own strength.

According to the Hunters Association’s information, the frequency of monster occurrences has been on the rise in recent years, and it’s possible that one day this fragile balance will be broken.

By then, whether one wants to keep to themselves or try to save the day, just having high order level strength would not be enough.

So, Wen Wen did not waste any more time, instead, he focused on practicing swordsmanship and the Dao of Runes, waiting for the notice from Hunter Headquarters.

One after another, the High Order Demon Hunters around him were called away. Some returned dejectedly after four or five hours, while others haven’t returned for a long time, apparently having gained some rewards.

Wen Wen waited and waited for five days until a Silly Broccoli Person came over, holding a megaphone and calling out for Wen Wen’s code name.

After hearing the code name, Wen Wen stood up, feeling a mix of anticipation and apprehension, wondering how the Hunter Headquarters wanted him to achieve the Enlightenment of True Self.

Following the Broccoli Person, Wen Wen climbed up to Root Mountain, reaching the lake on the roots.

After waiting a while, the lake suddenly erupted. The water from the entire lake was sprayed towards the sky, then fell as a fine mist of rain upon the back of the whale.

Most of the rainfall on the whale’s back came from the lake.

Sometimes, even when the sea was calm, a sudden rain shower would come in this manner.

When all the water from the lake was expelled, the middle of the lake dried up, and a dark hole about dozens of meters wide appeared. Following the Broccoli Person’s gesture, Wen Wen directly jumped into it.

Not long after Wen Wen jumped in, the giant whale inhaled towards the sea, and a water spout was drawn into the whale’s mouth, filling the lake once again.

For the creatures on the whale’s back, the spraying and sucking of water every two hours was like a natural phenomenon, just like the cycles of sunrise and sunset or the stopping and starting of wind and rain, and it was only during these intervals that one could enter the inside of the giant whale.

As soon as Wen Wen jumped into the body of the whale, he was caught by an invisible force, sliding like on a slide for several dozen seconds.

After landing, he found himself inside a huge and bright room.

The room resembled an enormous hot spring chamber, and judging from the room’s decor, it wasn’t naturally formed within the whale.

The ground was covered with smooth, colorful pebbles, and throughout the room, more than a hundred hot springs were scattered in a well-organized fashion.

Some hot springs were crystal clear and calm as a mirror, while others were cloudy and murky. In several hot springs sat superpower users, cross-legged with eyes closed.

Long Suo and Qiao Feiya were among them, and judging by the state of their energy, they seemed to be in some kind of wondrous condition.

A one-eyed creature made of patchy light and shadows slowly took shape, bowed its colossal head, and stared at Wen Wen for a while, then pointed to a particular hot spring and said,

"Go there, sit cross-legged, do not resist my power, and fall asleep peacefully... you will naturally ’see your true self’, whether you can seize the opportunity depends on yourself."

Heeding the one-eyed creature’s words, Wen Wen approached the edge of that hot spring and carefully stepped in to sit down.

As he entered the water, the surface of the hot spring remained as smooth as a mirror, undisturbed, without a single ripple.

The bottom of the hot spring was like a smooth mirror, yet the mirror reflected no pattern, which appeared quite magical.

The one-eyed creature placed its massive hand atop Wen Wen’s head and said, "This hot spring is called Jianzhen Spring. Once it reflects someone’s shadow, ripples on the surface will take three years to settle. Sleep... sleep."

Accompanying the words of the one-eyed creature, Wen Wen gradually closed his eyes, and on the mirror at the bottom of the spring, his figure appeared.

When Wen Wen opened his eyes again, he found himself cradled in the arms of a huge woman.

No...

It wasn’t that the woman was huge, but Wen Wen had become a baby!

The little baby frowned, sensing that the situation was anything but simple.

"Is this so-called enlightenment of the true self supposed to make me relive life starting as an infant?"

"But what’s the point of that?"

"Wait, who am I, why am I here, what am I supposed to do..."

In just two or three minutes, Wen Wen lost all his memories, seemingly becoming a pure infant.

Another couple of minutes passed, and Wen Wen had turned into a rambunctious child who could run around everywhere. He enjoyed listening to his father’s strange detective stories and loved eating the egg custards his mother made...

Time around him flew by swiftly; every important experience in Wen Wen’s memory flashed by like silhouettes.

In less than half an hour, Wen Wen was already in his twenties.

At that time, Wen Wen felt there was something wrong with his mind. In the cold wind, he stood at the entrance of a psychiatric hospital.

However, this time Wen Wen hesitated at the entrance: "This psychiatric hospital seems to have had some fatalities. I heard they specialize in electrotherapy... Should I go in? No, I’ll leave, find another one..."
