"Wuzhen can communicate with the world outside and borrow some of its power to strengthen oneself, but it also consumes one's spiritual energy." Chen Zong thought to himself as he sped toward the Royal City.
When he swooped down from the mountain, he had used Wuzhen's ability to borrow some of the world's power to strengthen himself, but the consumption was astonishing. Especially at the end, in order to prevent himself from being injured when he hit the ground, he had borrowed a lot of the world's power to stop himself, which consumed almost all of his remaining spiritual energy.
In terms of spiritual energy, Chen Zong was many times stronger than ordinary warriors in the Qi Refining Realm. Perhaps he could compare with ordinary warriors in the Lv 1 Genuine Martial Realm. It was hard to imagine that the consumption of spiritual energy was so astonishing when he used Wuzhen.
But in general, Wuzhen was indeed amazing. It allowed Chen Zong's body and spiritual energy to break through a kind of shackle and boundary, connecting with the world. His spiritual energy became more transparent, allowing his spiritual will to be in a constant state of tempering. His spiritual energy would also slowly strengthen.
Although the speed of this strengthening was slow, it was continuous. As long as he was in the world, it would not stop. It was very stable and there were no repercussions.
Another point was that after the power of the earth poured into his body, some kind of change also occurred. His bones, muscles, and organs were also covered by the power of the earth. Being able to withstand a greater impact meant that his defensive power and survivability were stronger.
The obvious benefits were also due to Chen Zong's Anasrava Mixed Yuan Body.
But unfortunately, he did not break through the shackles of ten thousand jin of strength. It seemed that he really needed to find a suitable Body Refining Technique.
Chen Zong used Wind Riding and Water Treading without using Wuzhen's ability. His spiritual energy also recovered quickly.
"Wuzhen can sense the world with the body and then merge with the world. It can borrow some of the world's power outside."
"Body and sword as one, perfect control of one's own power. Weapons and martial arts are perfectly compatible with one's body inside."
Wuzhen and body and sword as one was equivalent to one outside and one inside. It was perfect to cultivate both inside and outside.
"If I go all out, I wonder what level my combat strength will reach?" Chen Zong thought to himself as he hurried.
According to his master, the Marquis of Linshan, if he could comprehend the truth, he would be able to increase his battle prowess by one star. However, if he didn't have a suitable opponent to test his battle prowess, it would be very difficult to clearly feel the increase in battle prowess, especially if it was a large increase.
Stepping into the city gate, Chen Zong was slightly startled. He stood still and carefully sensed his surroundings.
It was a very strange feeling, completely different from outside the city.
In the land outside the city, Chen Zong felt that it was heavy and steady. But here, in addition to the heavy and steady feeling, there was another faint power that was full of majesty, as if it was high and mighty. Chen Zong could not help but think of a dragon.
This kind of majestic fluctuation interfered with the fusion between Chen Zong and the earth to a certain extent …
Chen Zong took another step forward, walking on the wide street. As he walked forward, Chen Zong carefully sensed the feeling of his feet coming into contact with the street. He was trying to adapt to the majestic energy waves.
When Chen Zong neared the inner city gate, he had already adapted to most of it, and the disturbance he felt was obviously much less.
However, when Chen Zong passed through the inner city gate and truly entered the inner city, the majestic energy waves that were like a dragon instantly became ten times stronger.
The tenfold increase obviously interfered with Chen Zong's fusion with the earth. Even his fusion with the sky was obviously affected, becoming faintly discernible.
"As expected …" Chen Zong did not feel panicked. Instead, his face was calm and collected.
If his guess was correct, this power should belong to the royal family, or even the dynasty. It was a very mysterious power that had been accumulating for generations. According to the records in the ancient books, it should belong to the veins of the dynasty, or it should be called luck.
With the existence of this fate, the dynasty would be able to survive for a long time. Otherwise, the dynasty would not be far from its destruction.
This power was full of majesty, like a dragon, and could not be blasphemed. It protected the dynasty and directly protected the capital city.
Previously, when Chen Zong practiced the Lonely Mountain Visualization Technique in Red Maple Court, he always felt obstructed. That was a kind of protective power of the dynasty's fate.
Before Wuzhen, Chen Zong could not feel that protective power. After Wuzhen, he felt it.
He needed to adapt.
As soon as he returned to the Guan Residence, before he reached Red Maple Court, someone came to find Chen Zong, accompanied by Guan Yunxiao.
This person was dressed in an aqua green gown with a long aqua green whip around her waist. There was a faint smile on her beautiful white face. As her figure swayed, there was a hint of a refreshing fragrance like water, like a water lotus that refreshed one's heart.
"Chen Zong, where have you been?" Guan Yunxiao asked, scolding very impolitely. He now had a lot of hostility towards Chen Zong. This hostility originated from Chen Zong's behavior, which shattered his inner pride. He could not accept it, so he spoke without any courtesy.
Chen Zong glanced at Guan Yunxiao, but did not reply. People treated him with sincerity, and he treated them with sincerity. Although Zhengyuan Marquis treated him well, Zhengyuan Marquis was Zhengyuan Marquis, and Guan Yunxiao was Guan Yunxiao. Even if they were father and son, they were not the same person.
It was not wrong to love the house and its crow, but Guan Yunxiao's attitude and way of treating him were problematic. Chen Zong did not fight back because he was giving face to Zhengyuan Marquis.
"Chen Zong, my surname is Xiao, and my name is Mingli." The woman smiled, like ripples on a calm lake. "I was conferred the title of Nation Knight two years ago."
"Greetings, Nation Knight Xiao." Chen Zong saluted with his hands folded.
This woman was conferred the title of Nation Knight two years ago. Speaking of which, she was a senior among the Nation Knights.
"Every year, when there are new Nation Knights, the Nation Scholar Hall will hold an entrance examination for them." Xiao Mingli smiled slightly. Her voice was neither soft nor heavy, like a stream, and sounded very comfortable. "I'm here to invite Chen Guoshi to participate in the entrance examination."
"Entrance test …" Hearing this, Chen Zong was slightly startled. He was not clear about this. However, a strange light flashed in Yun Xiao's eyes, as if he was taking pleasure in Chen Zong's misfortune. Chen Zong caught it.
Chen Zong immediately understood. This entrance examination was not simple.
However, it was just right.
"Nation Knight Xiao, when will the entrance examination be held?" Chen Zong asked.
"It will start at noon tomorrow." Xiao Mingli smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Chen Guoshi has never been to the Nation Scholar Hall. Don't be absent tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow." Chen Zong smiled and said.
"In that case, Chen Guoshi, I'll take my leave." Xiao Mingli bowed slightly and turned around. His aqua green gown created ripples. His feet seemed to glide on the water as he left.
Guan Yunxiao angrily glanced at Chen Zong before hurriedly running to catch up to Xiao Mingli. From the looks of it, he seemed to be very interested in Xiao Mingli and wanted to pursue him. However, whether or not he would succeed was unknown.
"Nation Scholar Hall …"
"The entrance examination …"
Chen Zong muttered to himself. He turned around and walked into Red Maple Garden.
When winter came, the leaves on the red maple trees gradually withered and fell. Now, the branches were bare and new buds would grow in the coming spring.
First, Chen Zong asked someone to send him food. After a full meal, he read some books and rested. Then, he went to Red Maple Garden again.
He closed his eyes and used the Lonely Mountain Visualization Technique to sense the heaven and earth.
The Lonely Mountain Visualization Technique was a Cultivation Method for Enlightenment. When cultivated, it not only allowed the martial artist to comprehend the truth, but it also helped the martial artist's cultivation. Of course, because of the level of the Cultivation Method, the effect was greatly reduced, but it was better than nothing.
In an instant, Chen Zong turned into a lonely mountain standing in the middle of Red Maple Garden. He merged with the heaven and earth. The majestic power coming from the ground became clearer and clearer.
Vaguely, Chen Zong seemed to see a deep darkness, like an abyss. A dragon's roar sounded. Under the golden light, a golden dragon rushed out from the bottom of the abyss. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, showing its majesty. It was so heavy that Chen Zong felt like he couldn't breathe.
Destiny transformed into a dragon!
In front of this incomparably powerful feeling, Chen Zong felt that he was very small. Even the Emperor's power couldn't compare. The difference was countless times.
Even so, Chen Zong didn't feel afraid. It was fine as long as he didn't have any hostility.
He slowly sensed the other party, adapting and familiarizing himself with each other. He left his aura in it so that it could better merge with the heaven and earth.
This method consumed a lot of spiritual power. After only a short while, Chen Zong felt that his spiritual power was exhausted. He had a splitting headache and had to stop to let his spiritual power recover.
Chen Zong could feel that the recovery speed of his spiritual power was almost twice as slow as when he was outside the Imperial City. However, after the recovery, his spiritual power seemed to have been strengthened a little.
Chen Zong cultivated the Lonely Mountain Visualization Technique again. He entered the dark space again and saw the golden dragon.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the power and pressure emitted by the golden dragon seemed to have lessened a little. In fact, it wasn't an illusion. It was real. After all his previous efforts, Chen Zong left traces of his aura in it. They became familiar with each other and slowly merged.
His spiritual power was consumed and recovered again. This repeated over and over again. When night fell, Chen Zong found that the time he could persist had doubled, from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. Of course, this didn't mean that Chen Zong's spiritual power had doubled. His spiritual power had indeed increased a little. In addition, the aura that belonged to Chen Zong was constantly left behind. It made Wang Chao's aura more and more familiar with it. It also didn't reject Chen Zong as strongly as before.
The moon was high in the sky. Its white light shone on the earth as if it was covered with a layer of white gauze. Chen Zong could clearly feel the coolness of the moonlight. It was like a stream of spring water flowing by, bringing him a comfortable feeling. As his spiritual power bathed in the moonlight, its recovery speed was astonishingly fast. It was very obvious.
The moon set in the west. A ray of light emerged from the eastern horizon, symbolizing the arrival of a new day. Chen Zong was still cultivating as if he didn't know the passage of time.
The sun shone brightly. Scorching waves spread all over his body. Chen Zong felt like he was being roasted in a raging fire. The impurities in his spiritual power seemed to have been calcined out, making his spiritual power more transparent and flawless.
