Fishing the Myriad Heavens

Chapter 306

A gentle breeze swept across the land, and the sun shone brightly in the cloudless sky. Warm sunlight covered the Earth.

The frigid weather gradually turned warmer, and the flowers in the garden bloomed resplendently. One could smell the fragrance of the flowers from a long distance away.

In the garden, an abnormally gigantic rose swayed lightly with the wind. The rose had grown to a size equivalent to several tens of lotus flowers, and the crimson on its petals was exceptionally dazzling, like fresh blood. Even lotus flowers paled in comparison to it in terms of exquisiteness!

The only thing that looked out of place in this perfect scene was a huge, ugly boulder. A white-robed youth was sitting cross-legged above the boulder, and his brows were furrowing from time to time.

"From this part of the cultivation technique, it"s obvious that the Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique is many times stronger than that the Minor Illumination Breathing Technique! However, the entry point to learning this cultivation technique is tens to hundred times harder!" Bei Feng muttered to himself. Although the Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique was powerful, it was recorded in a much different way compared to the way he had first been transmitted the Minor Illumination Breathing Technique. Bei Feng was unable to gain much insight from it immediately.

This Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique did not provide him with any insights from previous cultivators as well. The way he saw it, it would take him a long period of time to gain an initial level of comprehension in it by himself.

The only thing he was confident in was that this cultivation technique had high requirements towards mental power. And in that area, Bei Feng"s mental power was not lacking even compared with Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts!

Without further hesitation, he began to practice the twenty-eight movement techniques in the Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique. These twenty-eight movements were created by mimicking twenty-eight kinds of powerful Demonic Beasts and modifying it to suit the conditions of the human body.

The first movement required the pract.i.tioner to get on their hands and knees in a position close to the planking exercise. The abdomen could not touch the ground, and the head should be slightly raised. At the same time, one needed to emit tremors through their internal organs to produce a thunderous sound.

Bei Feng had vastly underestimated his own abilities. With the foundations provided by the Minor Illumination Breathing Technique and the ability to control his body to an extremely refined degree, added on to his powerful mental power that far exceeded his current cultivation realm, the three elements added together allowed him to learn the movement with ease.

While he did not seem to have much difficulty performing these movements, whether it was done correctly was something that he had no way of knowing.

There was another huge downside to this Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique. The movements were simply too disgraceful to look at! He"d just gone through all the movements once and familiarized himself with it when he stopped.

"The other movements are still acceptable. But why does the first one resemble a Toad Croaking Technique?!"

Bei Feng felt the corners of his mouth twitching. It was fine if he only needed to do this temporarily. But what made it worse was that even after forming the first light point in his body, the second stage would still require him to practice this movement every time!

In other words, he had to be practice all twenty-eight movements to perfection to absorb the essence from the stars. At the same time, he needed to follow the special breathing technique while performing those movements! Bei Feng could imagine himself kneeling on the floor on all fours like a toad while breathing in a ragged manner.

"Looks like I need to find an isolated location to cultivate this Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique in the future. Otherwise, anyone who saw me would probably laugh themselves to death...

Bei Feng"s face had turned as black as the bottom of a wok. The main thing was that this first movement truly looked exceedingly ridiculous! From that point, he decided that he would have to plan properly for his privacy in the future whenever he wanted to practice this cultivation technique!

Bei Feng calmed himself and gathered his emotions. A watched pot never boiled, and an anxious heart was not suitable for cultivation. If one was too impatient for improvement, problems would arise in their cultivation sooner or later.

Right now, Bei Feng viewed the stability of his foundations very importantly. Great oaks grew from little acorns, and tall buildings began from a stable foundation. Cultivation followed the same principles.

Only when the foundations were solid could one raise a magnificent building which towered into sky!

After that round of practice, Bei Feng began to train his mental power.

Bei Feng now had a deep understanding towards the uses of Mental Power. At the same time, he understood that raising and cultivating Mental Power was an extremely difficult task. Unless one had a mental power cultivation technique, they could only rely on patience and painstaking work. The other alternative was to seek the qualitative transformation one would gain in their mental power through threading the fine line between life and death in perilous situations and experiences!

The tempering method in the Pill Refining Jade Slip for pill apprentices was also considered a kind of mental power cultivating technique. However, it was the dumbest method, and there were also limits to how much it could raise one"s mental power!

That was because the technique in the jade slip was a way to expend mental power, not to increase it.

It was closer to what Bei Feng had been doing in the underground crypt, allowing his mental power to strengthen by draining it and replenis.h.i.+ng it.

The only difference was that Bei Feng had taken it to a crazier extreme. He was fortunate that previously, his mental power had been repressed for too long. When it surged back again, the mental power was able to break through the limits of his body!

But while doing this once or twice was acceptable, Bei Feng"s mind would break and he would turn into a r.e.t.a.r.d if he did it without caution!

At this moment, Bei Feng realized that he did not need to plan his time or wonder what he should do everyday. There was not enough time in a day, and there were too many things to occupy his attention.

An entire afternoon of time flowed away as he busied himself with cultivation. At the same time, he did not forget to regulate his blood and Qi and organize them to a.s.sault the aperture point in his right leg.

This breakthrough was not something that could be done in a short time. Bei Feng had already prepared himself for a drawn-out battle of attrition. Results came to those who put in the effort. Bei Feng believed that if he persisted, that barrier before the aperture would shatter with time!

Back at the villa, Bei Feng had begun to cook again. Soon, there were only the sounds of slurping and Mystic Moon and Bei Feng"s chopsticks. .h.i.tting against their bowls.

Although both of them concentrated on eating and did not speak, they would occasionally look up and exchange a glance before turning away awkwardly and continue eating.

Night descended, and the sky gradually turned dark. Bei Feng came out of the villa and sat beside the old well with the Fusang Wood Fis.h.i.+ng Rod in his hand.

A nagging sense of heartache rose in his chest as he thought back to the numerous fis.h.i.+ng attempts he had missed in these few months.

With those missed chances, he could have gotten plenty of excellent stuff from the Myriad Worlds!

Shaking his head lightly, Bei Feng cleared his mind of the extra thoughts and his heart became clear and serene again.

The night sounds of the mountain traveled to his ears, and Bei Feng felt like he was in a quiet meditative state. There were no unnecessary thoughts in his heart.

His mind was especially clear in such a state, as though he was a bystander watching himself.

***

A huge rectangular continent floated through the emptiness of s.p.a.ce, and nine gigantic fiery b.a.l.l.s rotated around it silently.

This piece of land was simply too ma.s.sive, to a point where the nearby suns were pulled by its gravity and were rotating around it!

The people on this continent were exceedingly strong and upon reaching adulthood, all of them would possess great strength, capable of tearing tigers and leopards apart with their bare hands!

Outside of an obscure village, a few kids about 11 or 12 in their early teenage years were playing a game. Only, the scene looked somewhat strange.

Numerous round stones about the size of millstones were set next to each child, and before them was a huge river thousands of feet wide!

The water of the river was green and clear, and it flowed slowly in a certain direction.

Numerous towering trees grew on both sides of the river with long vines extending into the water. The fishes and prawns in the river were also exaggeratedly huge. Demonic Beast level fishes could be seen frequently as well.

The game these kids were playing was rather simple. Each person would pick up the huge stones by their sides and throw them into the river to see who could throw theirs the furthest!

These kids were over two meters tall at least and if not for the childish looks and the innocent smiles on their faces, it would be hard for anyone to believe that children of this age could grow so tall!

"Dong!"

One of the boys flexed his muscles proudly and picked up the stone beside him. Then, he mustered all his strength and threw the stone out!

The stone flew out with a mighty momentum, as if it had been launched with a catapult. In a short moment, it traveled several hundred meters and landed in the river!

"Wow! Hu Zi is definitely going to be first this time!"

A girl jumped up excitedly and clapped her hands in delight.

The girl had a slim figure, and her height had also exceeded 1.7 meters. But although she looked skinny and had a slender frame, a great strength undoubtedly lay concealed in her body!
