Cultivation Begins with Skill Points
Chapter 339 - 338 Heavenly Sea Country

Chapter 339: Chapter 338 Heavenly Sea Country

On the boundless grassland, numerous rivers wind their way through like green ribbons, appearing unimaginably beautiful when viewed from above.

Zhong Lin glanced at Long Zhao with some confusion. Long Zhao explained, "Senior Brother, although the Heavenly Sea Country is located at the remote edges of the Sword Domain, near the sea, it is still vast and boundless. The sea only covers a large part, but there are still other terrains. We are currently over the grasslands on the northern side of the Heavenly Sea Country, and up ahead is Wuyang City."

Zhong Lin nodded, already somewhat aware of the unscientific vastness of the Qingyuan World.

"Let’s go!"

The two of them rode the wind, skimming the ground as they flew, with their entire beings seemingly melded into the earth.

Some herdsmen on the grassland, preparing to fatten their cattle and sheep one last time before winter, only felt a slight dust storm sweeping past them, causing stalks of withered autumn grass to spin in circles in mid-air. Besides this, they couldn’t see any trace of Zhong Lin and Long Zhao passing by.

Zhong Lin’s entire being perfectly fused with the earth’s essence, like water and milk.

This is an ability he developed after integrating the Concealing God Technique into the Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill, which Zhong Lin named the Five Elements Great Escape.

Of course, this is merely a beautiful wish and cannot be compared to the legendary Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Divine Abilities, not even coming close.

At present, all Zhong Lin can do is exchange energy with the natural elements during flight, allowing him to fly continuously without much consumption and to conceal his aura with the Five Elements.

Just as now, he is blending his body with the Earth Element essence of the earth.

In Zhong Lin’s simulations, the ultimate Five Elements Great Escape could even achieve formlessness, merging with heaven and earth to truly escape and travel as fast as the wind.

However, this requires a vast amount of Cultivation Techniques as a foundation for these developments, and currently, it’s just a superficial concept.

A gentle breeze swept across the ground, and in an instant, they were already a hundred miles away.

Long Zhao, who was being carried by Zhong Lin’s Spiritual Origin, was utterly shocked, feeling as if his senior brother was inhuman. Despite flying for so long, their speed hadn’t decreased but was getting faster, and there was no sign of depletion in the Spiritual Origin.

If it were him, he would probably have consumed countless elixirs along the way.

After flying for another half day, they vaguely sensed a deep power suppressing the Primordial Qi far off at the horizon, seemingly a grand and majestic structure.

Zhong Lin’s heart stirred, and he flew up to get a better view. At the horizon’s end, patches of white appeared, and as they flew closer, the white revealed itself as a city.

The city was vast, with hundreds of people bustling about, all clad in pristine white, with nary a stain. Within the city walls stood towering structures rising from the ground.

From afar, the city thrived with a dense population, and roads led in all directions outside the city.

Even the sky above had people flying back and forth, descending into the city.

At a glance, the city seemed endless, with tall buildings everywhere, wide streets, and a broad river meandering through, its waters shimmering.

Zhong Lin’s pupils widened slightly, and he gazed at the majestic city before him with awe.

Zhong Lin had seen old cities before, such as the Capital City of Cheng Country on the Xuan Gui Continent and Purple Cloud City of the Luoxing Islands. These cities were full of vibrant activities, bustling with traffic, and countless shops stretched along ten-mile-long streets, as flourishing as a blazing fire cooking oil.

Yet compared to the city before him, they seemed like small, rundown village markets. Though not filthy or chaotic, they were indeed lagging far behind.

"This is a true era of Martial Arts. Indeed, one only realizes how vast the world is and how small one is when stepping out of one’s comfort zone," Zhong Lin remarked.

"This, an era of Martial Arts? It’s just a small country in a remote area. When Senior Brother visits the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land, that is where the true Holy Land of Martial Arts lies," Long Zhao declared proudly.

Smack!

Zhong Lin slapped the back of Long Zhao’s head and said sideways, "Are you mocking me?"

"Uh? Your junior doesn’t dare,"

Long Zhao finally reacted and hastily offered an ingratiating apology.

The two slowly descended into the city, where a large plaque at the gate read "Wuyang City" in large characters.

Since there were many Martial Artists flying around in the air, it was evident that this great city did not forbid flying.

Zhong Lin and Long Zhao landed on a wide street in the city, where pedestrians made way for them, showing expressions of envy and reverence.

"These must be top experts in the Transcendent Realm. Definitely, I can tell from their aura. When can I cultivate to their level?"

"We don’t have enough elixirs to cultivate to the Transcendent Realm. Better to quickly condense Spiritual Origin and find a way to enroll in a Martial Arts School run by a Sect in the mortal world. If luck allows, we might be recruited as Outer Disciples and receive elixirs with hopes of success."

"Let’s think about how to earn Spirit Stones to buy elixirs!"

"The patrol soldiers are coming; let’s step aside!"

Da-da-da-da!

A sound of orderly marching footfalls came from the other end of the street, where a squad of a hundred soldiers marched in, all wearing brightly colored armor and wielding long spears, exuding robust power.

What’s most noteworthy is that these soldiers have cultivated to the late stage of the Postnatal Realm, having condensed True Qi of the Upper Third Grades, with some having reached the Innate Realm.

And these are merely patrolling soldiers.

Zhong Lin sighed inwardly. In the Xuan Gui Continent, Martial Artists of the Upper Third Grades could be considered Grandmasters of Martial Arts, even capable of founding families and establishing sects.

Even in the Luoxing Islands, they could serve as the backbone of a sect.

But here, they were merely small soldiers.

Zhong Lin listened to the discussions without much thought, casually strolling down the city’s main street.

"Senior Brother, this way,"

Long Zhao, acting as the guide, enthusiastically introduced everything on both sides with sincere tones, thoroughly detailing as he feared Zhong Lin would slap him again.

Walking down the wide streets of Wuyang City, Zhong Lin felt the atmosphere of a grand nation, a true "Heavenly Dynasty," and even as a late-stage Transcendent Realm Yunling Martial Artist, he was deeply impressed and in awe of this dreamlike city.

While touring, Zhong Lin also gained some understanding of the customs and people of the Heavenly Sea Country.

Wuyang City is merely one of the thirty-six cities in the Heavenly Sea Country, located in the Northern Grassland Department. Through this point, one can observe the strength of the entire Heavenly Sea Country.

Everyone in the city was physically strong and powerful. Upon careful observation, it was clear that everyone bore traces of training, even ordinary citizens had abundant Qi-Blood and strong bones.

Though they practiced rudimentary Martial Arts, this still made Zhong Lin deeply impressed, as a word suddenly popped into his mind.

A Universe of Martial Arts.
