Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! At this moment, the spiritual fish in the river were of different species and sizes. They emitted a faint spiritual light as they swam through the river like arrows.
Some spiritual fish preferred to swim in groups. Tens of thousands of spiritual fish formed a vast tide that swam through the river. They advanced, retreated, sidestepped, and slashed through the waves. The scene was extremely spectacular.
If it was in the past, when Lin Buzheng's Divine Sense was still present, he only needed to lock onto one or a few Spiritual Fishes with his Divine Sense and then make a move. No matter how they struggled or dodged, it was useless and he could easily catch them.
Or he could simply leave his body with his Martial Qi and turn it into a giant hand. With a casual grab, he would only be able to catch more spiritual fish.
This was the so-called 'one man can defeat ten men'.
In the face of absolute power, all methods and techniques were useless.
It was a pity that Lin Buzheng's Divine Abode and Sea of Qi were sealed, so he couldn't use either method. He could only use the most primitive method, which was to jump into the river and fish with his hands.
The river was slightly cold as it flowed past Lin Buzheng's ankles.
Lin Buzheng stood in the river, unmoving like a mountain. He concentrated his energy into his Dantian while his eyes stared wide open. His gaze locked onto a spirit fish in the river, and he predicted its next swimming trajectory before striking out with a speed as swift as a clap of thunder.
Whoosh!
Lin Buzheng's hands were like two dragons entering the sea, grabbing at the spiritual fish in the water, causing thousands of splashes.
However, although Lin Buzheng was fast, the reaction of the spiritual fish in the river was even faster.
The moment Lin Buzheng's hand entered the water, the fish swung its tail and instantly broke free from Lin Buzheng's hand. It swam out from between Lin Buzheng's fingers. It tried a few times, but it still failed.
"How can this be?"
"The spiritual fish seemed to have sensed my actions before I made a move."
Lin Buzheng muttered to himself as he fished and thought hard.
In the end, he discovered that the spiritual fish in the river seemed to be able to sense the killing intent emitted from his body before he made a move and dodged in advance.
Moreover, the trajectory of the spiritual fish in the river seemed to be clear, but it was actually moving up and down, extremely nimble, and completely untraceable.
Due to various reasons, even though Lin Buzheng's speed was slightly faster than the spiritual fish's swimming speed, he still couldn't catch it.
Lin Buzheng noticed the problem and immediately corrected it.
When he locked onto his target, not only did his body not move at all, even his aura had completely disappeared. It was as if he had turned into a small mountain or a statue, completely isolated from the outside world, causing the spiritual fish to be unable to capture his aura.
At that moment, Lin Buzheng looked down at the spirit fish swimming in the river, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
The swimming trajectories of these spiritual fish were not impossible to detect. As long as one listened to the flowing sound of the river, observed the faint ripples caused by the movement of the fins and tails of the spiritual fish, and carefully sensed the flow of spiritual qi in the river, one would be able to detect the swimming trajectories of these spiritual fish.
One small clue reveals the general trend, and a falling leaf reveals the autumn!
Rumble!
Suddenly, Lin Buzheng attacked again.
As he attacked this time round, killing intent burst forth from his body.
His hands were as fast as lightning as he grabbed at a spiritual fish swimming in the river.
This time round, Lin Buzheng concealed his aura well. It was only the moment his hands entered the water that the spiritual fish in the river reacted and swung its tail, wanting to escape.
Snap!
Unfortunately, it was too late for the spiritual fish to react now.
Lin Buzheng's hands were like an iron wall, clamping the fish firmly on both sides. Thereafter, he closed his fingers and lifted, pulling the spiritual fish out of the water!
"Success!"
Lin Buzheng's face was filled with joy as his hands gripped the spiritual fish like iron hoops. No matter how the latter swung its tail and struggled, it could not escape from his hands. His dinner was finally going to be served!
Patter, patter!
With the spiritual fish in his hands, Lin Buzheng walked out of the river and returned to the shore. He started a bonfire, cut open the belly of the spiritual fish, cleaned it, and put it on the fire to roast.
Not long after, an alluring aroma of roasted fish spread far away. Although there was no salt, anise, or other seasonings, it was still extremely fragrant and appetizing.
After the meal, Lin Buzheng meditated on the boulder next to the bonfire and reflected on the difficulties he had encountered today as well as the methods he had used to deal with them.
Right now, his Spiritual Abode and sea of qi were sealed, and he could not use his divine sense and Martial True Qi. Had he become weaker? The answer was obviously no.
Looking back today, the Saber-toothed Demonic Tiger that Lin Buzheng had seen in this spiritual land and the thousands of spiritual fish in the water did not have any divine sense or True Qi in their bodies. They only hunted prey with their flesh and blood and fought against their natural enemies. The terrifying strength and speed they displayed made Lin Buzheng's heart palpitate.
In fact, all demonic beasts in the natural world were like this. They stimulated the power in their demonic bodies through bloody battles, ceaselessly cultivating their divine sense and True Qi, and only focused on tempering their flesh and blood to become extremely powerful.
Although these demonic beasts did not have spiritual wisdom and only had a single method of attack, they usually had an absolute advantage when fighting against martial artists of the same level.
No matter how much divine sense, divine ability, Martial True Qi, or even magical weapon the latter cultivated, they were no match for the former. Within thirty to fifty rounds, they would be torn apart by the former.
The power of divine sense and Martial True Qi were powerful, but if one traced back to the source, they were all born from the body of flesh and blood. The body was the foundation of everything.
If one only cultivated divine sense and True Qi, and could not wait to break through to a higher realm, neglecting to consolidate the realm and temper the body, they would only be neglecting the essentials and becoming a laughing stock.
If one was used to fighting with divine sense and Martial True Qi, neglecting physical combat techniques, it would be even more foolish.
In ancient times, there were cultivators who did not cultivate divine sense or True Qi. They only cultivated their bodies and could be said to be undefeatable among those of the same level.
For example, the Martial Refinement Great Emperor of the human race. Although he did not cultivate the Six Paths of Reincarnation or the Nine World Demon Kingdom, he was undefeatable among all races with his iron fists.
Once the Martial Refinement Great Emperor appeared, whether it was the Divine Dragon race, the Immortal Blood Spirit Butterfly, the God Slaying Ancient Elephant … all the races that possessed supreme divine abilities, they all retreated and lowered their heads.
If one's physical body was strong to the extreme, one's soul power and True Qi would not be able to harm one's physical body, one would be able to destroy everything with one punch!
Right now, Lin Buzheng's divine sense and Martial True Qi were sealed, and everything returned to its original state. Although it was extremely uncomfortable for a short period of time, as time passed, the potential in the depths of one's body would be stimulated, and one's strength would definitely become even stronger!
Of course, strictly speaking, body tempering techniques and other cultivation techniques each had their own merits. When cultivated to the extreme, they were all at the peak, and there was no difference between them.
