Chapter 007: Cultivation
It is still a long way until the cooling is complete
This concludes today's matters! Zhou Zheng reversed his hand and sheathed the pitch-black longsword back into the scabbard on his back
With an early breakthrough and greater strength, he will be able to accomplish more tasks in the Time-Space Temple, acquire more resources, and enhance his own power. This will create a positive feedback loop, increasing his chances of survival and the hope of enduring until the cooldown of the Time-Space Gate is complete.
Previously, in the world of the Xia tribe, Zhou Zhengben had no intention of provoking the extraordinary, so he did not consider his weapons to be of much importance. However, now that he finds himself under the control of the Time and Space Temple, it is possible that he may be forced to confront the extraordinary in the future. At this moment, the long sword crafted from extraordinary materials becomes crucial.
Take your time
Mundane life can only hope to harm the extraordinary by wielding weapons crafted from extraordinary materials
The wind is blowing, and Zhou Zheng is also attempting to incorporate this sensation into his swordsmanship
... ...
"Deep Sea Gold" is not only incredibly hard, but more importantly, it is an extraordinary material
The time-space portal constantly emanates a peculiar energy, which subtly alters the qualities of Zhou Zheng's physical body and soul. This is the key to his becoming a genius
The combination of the mysteries of wind and lightning not only should make my swordsmanship more agile, but it should also increase the speed at which I draw my sword... However, the reality is that the wind has affected the speed of the lightning!" Zhou Zheng was perplexed.
Call! Call! Call!
I wonder what thoughts filled his mind after he learned that Helke's true identity is that of an Abyssal Demon
Certainly, Zhou Zheng has reached the realm of all things, utilizing the mysteries of all things. In terms of nurturing fighting spirit, Zhou Zheng possesses a significant advantage over ordinary title-level individuals.
Zhou Zheng contemplated as he rose from the large rock, drew the long sword from his back with a reverse motion, and began to carefully wipe it.
A title-level mage, if given enough time to arrange the magic circle, may even have the hope of influencing the extraordinary
In other words, if Zhou Zheng cannot break through to the extraordinary level, then he does not even have the qualification to wait for the cooldown of the time-space gate
However, he did not leave immediately; instead, he stood in place, contemplating the experiences of the day.
This kind of polishing and nurturing is a rather tedious task, and unless there is a particularly precious treasure, it is nearly impossible to take shortcuts
During the time of the Xia clan, Zhou Zheng had never worried about this matter, as he only needed to go with the flow. However, now that he has entered the Time and Space Temple, the difference between breaking through to the extraordinary earlier or later is significant
The combination of the mysteries of wind and thunder has become increasingly familiar to me, yet I still feel that something is lacking
At this moment, Zhou Zheng was employing his own modified "Thunder Light Sword Technique"
Long ago, Zhou Zheng aspired to combine the two mysteries and integrate them into his swordsmanship. Now, he has managed to achieve a preliminary combination, yet it still falls short of perfection.
Zhou Zheng sensed the situation within the time-space portal, and he had a clear understanding in his heart
... ...
Deep within the cave, the figure transformed into a corpulent man by Helke was drinking wine and eating meat heartily, while Wang Chongshan was carefully attending to him on the side
The next day, in the early morning, atop the mist-covered cliffs of the Grand Canyon
... ...
It seemed as if a flash of lightning had passed, and countless sword shadows appeared around. The sword shadows sealed off all space, and the hidden power within them caused the surrounding air currents to tremble violently.
This is a long sword that is entirely pitch black, with the exception of some golden decorations on the hilt; from the hilt to the blade, it is all dark and profound
Gradually, centered around Zhou Zheng, a gentle breeze emerges within a radius of one thousand meters; these winds are light and elusive
Being anxious is of no use
... ...
It was not until the sky began to darken that Zhou Zheng finally came to a stop
This sword is entirely made of a material known as "Deep Sea Gold", and it is a trophy that Zhou Zheng won in a duel against another person.
To know, the lifespan of a celestial being of the highest order is merely 800 years, while the lifespan of an ordinary person is just a little over 100 years
He is not yet sixteen years old. Logically speaking, if he continues to develop in this methodical manner, he will eventually be able to break through and become extraordinary.
The swordsmanship that has been modified by Zhou Zheng, he cannot claim that it has surpassed the original version, but it is certainly the most suitable for him
As for when extraordinary fighting spirit will emerge, that is something no one can predict!
At this moment, Feng Zhuhong, as a mage, was setting up various magical formations nearby. For mages, having ample time to prepare is fundamentally different from engaging in a sudden battle, as it significantly affects the level of power they can exert.
The mundane cannot harm the extraordinary
Zhou Zheng masters the mysteries of all things, which encompass not only thunder and lightning but also the winds of all creation
Half an hour later, Zhou Zheng shook his head and directly leaped down into the canyon before him
Zhou Zheng ceased the cultivation of his fighting spirit, and his consciousness delved deep into his soul. A portal, seemingly infinite in size yet also appearing infinitely small, floated in the pitch-black void.
It seems that Wang Chongshan has made up his mind to cling to the thigh of Helke
Zhou Zheng's swordsmanship began to become lighter and instantly more agile, but it was affected in terms of speed
Moments later, Zhou Zheng arrived at a cave within the canyon
After breaking through to the title level, the already materialized fighting spirit condensed into a solid dan within Zhou Zheng's dantian. To truly break through to the extraordinary, it is necessary to continuously refine and nurture this solid dan until it undergoes a qualitative change, giving birth to the first strand of extraordinary fighting spirit
Call! Call! Call!
However, Zhou Zheng did not feel discouraged; instead, he continued to make repeated attempts.
It is uncertain whether it is due to the high level of this world, but Zhou Zheng can clearly sense that the time-space gate will require at least several hundred years, if not up to a thousand years, to cool down completely
With great care, Zhou Zheng wiped the sword in his hand and soon began to move.
Zhou Zheng's figure constantly shifted with the swordsmanship, characterized by speed and ferocity
Zhou Zhengzheng sat cross-legged facing the rising sun, quietly refining the fighting energy within her body
"Thunder Light Swordsmanship" is a sword technique that Zhou Zheng has practiced since childhood. This swordsmanship was created by an exceptionally powerful individual. After Zhou Zheng inadvertently acquired it, he learned a great deal from it
They are prepared to stay here for a month until the mission concludes, but they do not rule out the possibility of being discovered by another team, so they must naturally exercise caution. Feng Zhuhong's arrangement of the formation is also for this reason
If one does not break through for a long time, then whether one can survive through each task will depend on luck
This is the time-space portal
... ...
In the event of encountering the extraordinary, with this sword in hand, Zhou Zheng would have a glimmer of hope for resistance; without this sword, he might as well await death directly
However, at his current level, the once astonishing "Thunderlight Swordsmanship" is no longer flawless like a textbook, but has many aspects that can be modified.
Transcendence, that is, being extraordinary and out of the ordinary, utilizes mundane weapons. Even with immense strength and formidable power, it is impossible to inflict even the slightest harm on the transcendent.
The characteristics of lightning are, first, its speed, and second, its ferocity
In the midst of the fierce battle, while sheer speed and ferocity may be momentarily unmatched, to advance further, my sword must also possess sufficient flexibility. Zhou Zheng was not practicing blindly; he was also contemplating in his heart.
