After Chen Chuan let go, he felt as if he was surrounded by a thick, dark, and heavy sea, sinking into it. The sensation under his feet was both flexible and firm, with some undulations. Looking down, he saw that the area was also full of raised folds.
He was standing on the body of this thing.
This was an existence whose full appearance was almost impossible to see, with most of its body obscured by the dark sea water. Only the part he was standing on seemed to emit a faint light due to their contact.
At this moment, signs of a virtual invasion appeared on his Second Self.
He could confirm that the invasion was being borne by his Second Self, but he hadn't exited from this scene, indicating that this wasn't a simulated energy field like in the Academy, but purely a connection between Spirits.
At this moment, he was only in contact with it through relics.
This thing might be illusory, or perhaps real. He couldn't understand it yet, but it certainly couldn't be measured by the standards and logic of reality.
Just as he was thinking this, suddenly a shadow silently approached him. Coming from the dark sea water, there was no warning. Here, his senses seemed to be completely disabled, and he only felt it when it was close, and it had already collided with him.
In that instant, the Iron Body Internal Force within his body was instantly activated, and a powerful and fierce strength pushed him sideways. However, at the same moment, through the contact with the other side, he discerned its general shape and the path of the subsequent strength transmission.
His body slightly turned with the strength, his elbow raised, and then the Snow Emperor Blade in his other hand slashed diagonally upwards from below. With a hiss, he felt the blade cut through a tough body, and a flash of light seemed to flicker before his eyes.Looking up, he found himself maintaining the slashing posture, but instead of being immersed in the thick sea water, he was standing perfectly fine inside the tent.
It seemed that one slash had directly eliminated that thing, so he was directly disconnected from the Spirit connection.
He pondered for a moment, this didn't seem difficult?
If according to Talu's words, the difficulty would gradually increase based on the combat power he displayed.
But his purpose this time wasn't for training.
He straightened his body again, took the Snow Emperor Blade, and at the moment of the slash, he indeed felt as if something had been absorbed by the Snow Emperor Blade, but it was too weak, and he wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't been paying attention.
But as long as this method proved useful, that was enough.
Then continue.
He exerted strength again, returned to the long bone, and placed his hand on it again.
This second attempt encountered a situation similar to the last time, but this time several of those things appeared at once. This didn't trouble him, and because of the first contact, he had fully understood the attack methods and characteristics of these things, and was prepared in advance, so dealing with them was even easier than the last time.
And this time, after his Spirit disconnected from them, he could clearly feel that the Snow Emperor Blade had absorbed more than the last time.
Moreover, this time the Snow Emperor Blade slightly trembled, clearly expressing a desire for this thing under his conscious inquiry.
Within an hour, he made over a dozen attempts, initially seeing hundreds.
They were all different, the difficulty was not on the same level. He estimated that the gains should be very significant, with combat experience and...
The Snow Emperor Blade would absorb something after each kill, accumulating...
After a few times, Chen Chuan found another kind of thing appearing. If what he saw before were like fish swimming in the sea, then what he saw later were some monsters with clawed feet and unrecognizable forms, not only moving quickly but also able to cooperate with each other, much more difficult to deal with than the previous things.
But this wasn't his limit, he could still handle it calmly. However, after killing another target that attacked him, his gaze slightly focused because he saw many scattered scales on the ground of the tent.
It seemed that what he had just contacted was indeed a real existence, not just an internal exchange of Spirits.
He couldn't help but think of a possibility, if that was the case, if he was killed during the Spirit exchange, would he really die?
In fact, he had already felt it, each time he exited and entered, the other side felt more and more real, as if he had really gone there, made contact with those things, and at the same time, he could vaguely feel a sense of danger.
Talu hadn't mentioned these, was it because no one had ever reached this point before?
No.
He lifted the Snow Emperor Blade to look, there were still differences, because the predecessors of the single school probably didn't have a weapon like the Snow Emperor Blade that could absorb something from there.
He guessed that it might be the absorption of the Snow Emperor Blade that caused such a consequence.
In that case, if he wanted to try again, he must be more cautious.
But the Snow Emperor Blade seemed to have gained a lot of benefits from it.
Then let's try first, to see if it's useful.
He immediately closed his eyes to feel for a moment, then swung the blade outward, where the blade flashed, a bright gap was torn in the empty space, and then a dazzling light spilled out from inside.
He swung the blade, inserted it into the ground, and sat down, refining his Spirit to absorb the essence transmitted from the other side.
But this time, he had only sat for about ten minutes when he felt something coming over, then flying out along the gap.
He glanced over and saw those strange bugs he had seen before. His eyes slightly flickered, and then they fell from above, pattering onto the ground.
At this time, he reached into his bag and took out a landscape green plant, placing it in front of him. This was a pest-repelling plant produced by Green Source Ecology, which could effectively drive away these bugs.
This thing was a gift when ordering this tent, because these bugs are particularly common in Central City now, almost everywhere, so such things have become a necessity for travel.
After that, he was no longer disturbed, and an hour quickly passed, but compared to the last time, the Fissure still existed, and it gradually closed after another twenty minutes or so.
Seeing this, Chen Chuan knew that besides the self-growth of the Snow Emperor Blade, there must also be the effect of absorbing those things today.
Since it was effective, he decided to continue trying next time, although he felt a certain danger, it didn't mean he couldn't handle it.
After turning his thoughts, he sheathed the Snow Emperor Blade, collected the bug corpses into a bag, came out to tidy up the tent, put it into the car, and then drove back to the city.
On the way, he thought, the Fissure is always sensitive, for safety's sake, it's best to change places every time the Fissure is cut open, maybe next time he could go to the sea?
But the offshore area is either the testing grounds of various Companies or underwater combat creatures, so he would have to go far enough, which would waste too much time.
He suddenly thought of a way that might avoid a lot of trouble, be more convenient, and less likely to be noticed.
That is, in the sky above.
As long as he managed to rent a small airship, to practice in the sky, he could go far enough in a very short time, and the Fissure cut open would be unlikely to be discovered.
He remembered that Pan Xiaode's family runs an airship Company, maybe he could ask him about it.
After thinking about it, after the Jiade car returned to the Central City energy field range, he contacted Pan Xiaode.
The Boundary Token connected quickly, and Pan Xiaode's energetic and full voice came through, "Classmate Chen? No, now it's Master Chen! Master Chen, what can I do for you, I will definitely do it!"
Chen Chuan smiled and said he needed a small airship, the reason being that he wanted to conduct some special Cultivation in the sky.
Pan Xiaode didn't find this strange at all, many Martial Artists have their own quirks and specific Cultivation methods, and he later learned about Chen Chuan's feat of falling from the sky and splitting the Ferris Wheel with a slash, which he greatly admired, thinking he was going to practice the same Skills, so he was even more excited than him.
"A small airship? Yes, yes, do you want to rent one? That's too troublesome, I have one ready here, it was originally my brother's, but after he joined the army, he left it to me, but I later ordered a new one, so the old one has been gathering dust.
If you don't mind, you can take it and use it directly, for as long as you want, I have people here who can pilot the airship."
Hearing this, Chen Chuan thought it was good, and said, "Then thank you."
"No need to be polite, I'll prepare it first, it should be ready today, if you're free tomorrow, come to this location..." As he spoke, Pan Xiaode sent an address.
Chen Chuan looked at it and said, "Okay, I'll come over tomorrow."
After making the appointment, he returned to the Mysterious Palace Tower, checked the information from various places, saw that there was nothing special, no messages from students at the Academy, browsed the Marginal Channel for a while, paid a little attention to the recent situation of the Arena tournament, rested for a while, and then went to the training ground to Cultivate.
Early the next morning, he drove the Jiade car out, following the address given by Pan Xiaode, and arrived at an airship factory located southwest of Central City.
Pan Xiaode had been waiting here, greeted him, and then led him inside.
There was an airship warehouse here, outside was a docking tower, the area was very spacious, and as he walked in, he saw a small silver airship about thirty meters long parked there.
