Long River Eternity

Chapter 48: Changes in Zhongzhou

Now, within a radius of 100 meters, due to the ravages of the black wind just now, no grass grows, only a desolate scorched earth and a huge pit remains, which is the mark left by the strong impact when the black wind landed.

Lin Ding slowly descended from the air, a solemn look in his eyes. He and Wei Wu walked side by side to the edge of the pit. The silence around them seemed to tell the story of the thrilling battle that had just taken place.

Wei Wu's eyes were fixed on the huge corpse of Heifeng in the center of the pit, and he felt a wave of emotion in his heart. At the beginning, he was just relying on Lin Ding's support, so he was not afraid at all. He thought that even if he couldn't win in a one-on-one fight, as long as Lin Ding took action, two against one, the outcome would definitely not be a failure. He didn't expect that he could actually kill a Yuheng realm monster by surpassing his level.

"Wei Wu, you really won! You defeated the Yuheng Realm monster leader, which is equivalent to the strength of an ordinary human in the early Tianquan Realm, right?" Liu Xianxian's face was filled with excitement.

"Haha, I actually didn't expect that I could actually win." Wei Wu scratched the back of his head and smiled foolishly. However, as soon as the smile appeared, he grimaced in pain from the wound in his abdomen.

"Let me treat you first." Lin Ding frowned slightly when he saw the wounds of varying depths on Wei Wu's body, and immediately used the Rejuvenation Technique to heal him.

As Lin Ding's cultivation level increased, the effects of the Rejuvenation Technique became increasingly pronounced. Wei Wu's wounds healed at a visible rate. Within a few minutes, all of them had healed, save for the deepest wound, which still left a faint red mark.

While Lin Ding was treating Wei Wu, Liu Xianxian had already extracted the energy from Heifeng's corpse. When Wei Wu recovered and stood up, Liu Xianxian happened to be holding a ball of pure energy the size of a light gray human head in her hand, slowly walking out of the pit.

"It's great that I have more energy to use for a breakthrough." Liu Xianxian smiled like a flower, with anticipation glittering in her eyes as she looked at Wei Wu and Lin Ding.

Lin Ding stared at the energy in Liu Xianxian's hand, frowning slightly, feeling that something was wrong. Then, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he asked Yang An, "It's only been three or four days since we left the city, and our cultivation has increased rapidly. Especially for Wei Wu and me, are there any problems or hidden dangers?"

After a while, Yang An's voice came over: "Each of you has a different situation, so it's impossible to generalize. For example, if you follow my cultivation experience, there will definitely be no problem. But Wei Wu is forced to break through every time. Although the improvement speed is very fast, his physique and skills can avoid this problem to the greatest extent. It's just that Liu Xianxian and Feng Hao..."

At this point, Yang An paused, as if thinking about something, but soon, his voice came again: "Although Liu Xianxian's skills can quickly condense and purify ownerless energy, the energy in the monster's body is too chaotic. Even after purification, there will still be some impurities remaining. You can see it from the color of the energy. Therefore, breaking through too quickly in the early stage may lead to an unstable foundation, impurities remaining in the body, and there is a risk of going astray in the later stage. As for Feng Hao, I still can't see through it."

"Then how should we solve the problem? Will we be unable to absorb the energy of monsters in the future?" Lin Ding asked with regret in his tone.

"That's not necessary. It's a waste to let such a large amount of energy dissipate naturally into the world. When they absorb it, let the energy circulate in the body several times to remove as many impurities as possible. Also, let them suppress their own realm more and don't break through easily. Only by suppressing every stage of every realm to the extreme can they break through their own limits. Only those in the same realm can be ahead of others. The current cultivation method of the nuclear energy system is not perfect. They are all geniuses picked from thousands of miles away, especially Feng Hao. Let him try more, and there may be unexpected gains." Yang An said.

"I understand."

At this moment, Liu Xianxian saw Lin Ding in a daze, waved her hand in front of him, and said, "Hey, what are you in a daze for?"

Lin Ding came back to his senses and said, "I'm wondering if our breakthrough speed is too fast, and whether it will lead to an unstable foundation."

Afterwards, Lin Ding repeated what Yang An said to everyone.

As everyone listened to Lin Ding's words, their expressions changed rapidly. They were all afraid of their previous recklessness. When talking about the impurities in the monster's energy, Liu Xianxian even almost dropped the energy in her hand. Fortunately, Lin Ding stopped her first.

Finally, Lin Ding walked up to Feng Hao, squatted down, and said gently, "Xiao Hao, you may be the most talented among us. You have just broken through to the Hidden Origin Realm. I hope that in the future, while suppressing your own cultivation, you can also add your own ideas while ensuring safety. Perhaps in the future, your achievements will be the highest among us."

Feng Hao nodded vigorously in agreement and replied solemnly: "I understand!"

After giving the instructions, the four of them came to Black Wind's lair. Wei Wu and Black Wind had been fighting and running away from each other just now, and they had already left Black Wind's lair. This was why the cave was preserved during Black Wind's large-scale sweep.

The four entered the depths of the cave. Fortunately, as the monster's intelligence continued to improve, it gradually paid attention to the hygiene of itself and its lair. Unlike ordinary wild beasts, whose lair was filled with a foul stench, the four would have had to find a new place to hide.

Lin Ding lit a fire and tidied up the surroundings. Then Liu Xianxian began to distribute the energy in her hands to Wei Wu and Feng Hao.

Originally, Liu Xianxian was going to give two-thirds to Wei Wu. After all, Wei Wu was at the highest level, and it was he who killed Black Wind. However, when the energy was handed to Wei Wu, Wei Wu said, "I'll just take the other one-third. I think Lin Ding is right. I've jumped four levels since leaving the city, and now I'm at the peak of the Kaiyang Realm. If I'm not careful, I might even break through to the Yuheng Realm. I plan to stay in the Kaiyang Realm for a while. I need time to get familiar with both the realm and this body."

After hearing this, Liu Xianxian respected Wei Wu's choice and handed the other one-third to him. Then she looked at the remaining two-thirds in her hand and became troubled.

"I can only absorb one third at most, but giving one third to Xiaohao is too much, and it would be a pity to throw it away." Liu Xianxian said to Lin Ding.

At this time, Feng Hao spoke up, and said in a firm tone: "It's okay, Sister Xianxian, I think I can absorb one third."

"Are you sure this is the Yuheng Realm, not the Dongming Realm I gave you last night?" Liu Xianxian asked with a little doubt.

"Well, I'm sure you believe me." Feng Hao nodded in confirmation.

Liu Xianxian looked at Lin Ding with a questioning look. Lin Ding said, "Don't worry, I'm watching over him. I won't let anything happen to Xiao Hao."

Hearing Lin Ding say this, Liu Xianxian no longer hesitated and divided the energy in her hand into two and handed it to Feng Hao.

Then the three of them closed their eyes and entered a state of cultivation.

Lin Ding sat there and observed the three people for a while. When they calmed down, he knew that they had begun to absorb energy. Then he started to do his own thing.

Lin Ding took out a newspaper from his arms, which was the "Jiuzhou Monthly" he took from Old Wu's office.

I haven't had time to read it since I got it, but now that I have nothing to do, I can use it to kill time.

Having read the front page last time, Lin Ding took a quick look and turned to the second page. This page reported some scientific research results and the dynamics of the top masters of the time, such as "Research Institute No. 1 successfully injected energy into weapons, and challenging the higher realms from the lower realms is no longer a dream", "Li Rufeng, the 11th master on the Heavenly List, successfully broke through the Tianji Realm, and will challenge Wang Tianlin, the 10th master on the Heavenly List, in five days".

Lin Ding browsed through every piece of information with great interest. The happiest thing for him since he was a child was the day when "Jiuzhou Monthly" was updated. He would wait at the doorstep early in the morning for the newspaper deliveryman to deliver the newspaper, and then learn about all kinds of wonderful and interesting things in the world from the newspaper.

In the past, he felt that the reports in the newspapers were very bizarre and far away from himself. Every time he finished reading the newspaper, he would fantasize about when he could become the protagonist of one of the reports.

But after these few days' experiences, whether it was Yang An in Ruins No. 0, the magical instrument in Ruins No. 5, or Wei Wu's victory over the monster leader, if each of them were put into this monthly report, they would basically become explosive new reports on the front page.

While reading the monthly report, Lin Ding compared his experiences during this period and unknowingly turned to the last page.

This page was mostly filled with gossip and rumors, such as "The strongest man of the younger generation pursued Jiang Yueying, who ranked third on the Heavenly Ranking, but was rejected and beaten up," and "It is rumored that the recent monster riots in many places are related to the revival of ancient spiritual energy."

Lin Ding looked at the second message and thought: I wonder if the author of this gossip is just guessing or really knows something. It seems that Zhongzhou is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Lin Ding browsed through the gossip and rumors one by one with a smile, but suddenly Lin Ding put away his smile and his face became solemn. Finally, he stood up with a serious look on his face.

The newspaper in Lin Ding's hand fell to the ground, and in the corner of the newspaper was a report: "Lin Tiansheng and his wife, fast-rising stars in the archaeological world, disappeared after the invasion of monsters, and a mysterious and powerful person was suspected to have appeared at the scene."
