Exploration I

The relocation and replacement of the Nine Heavens Gate did not take Lin Hui much time. He had done it many times before on other Fusionist, and Zhu Li and the Heart Exchange Gate made outstanding contributions in this regard.

Ten minutes later, the entire Nine Heavens Gate and Clear Jade Mountain were completely moved away from the Wind Disaster.

However, it wasn't placed elsewhere.

Because Lin Hui directly released his Heaven Seed into the Black Domain, fusing it into the area where Clear Jade Mountain was located.

The Heaven Seed gave him a rather wondrous feeling.

Normally, once one has merged with the Dao, one cannot move again. However, since the Heaven Seed was moved by the Phantom Vine, it has entered a special state where it can choose a place to merge with the Dao a second time.

In response, Lin Hui simply chose the Black Domain Void as his second point of Dao Integration.

In a plan destined to replace the Wind Disaster, remaining within the Wind Disaster area is not a good choice for him or those around him.

The erosion is one aspect, but what's more troublesome is that as his power grows stronger and his realm becomes higher, he also suffers more and more negative effects from the Source Disaster.

In other words, he guessed that he was too weak before, and his actions within the Source Disaster wouldn't have caused much of a stir. But now, with his size increasing, it was no longer possible for him to be as inconspicuous as before.

In other words, the Wind Disaster was unintentional, unlike Drought Disaster, which White Star directly targeted.

No matter how you look at it, Wind Disaster is the most suitable alternative target for him.

After doing all this, he taught the people of Clear Jade Mountain a new main cultivation technique, namely the complete version of the Star Breath Sword Classic.

The Origin Scene Sword Canon he used himself was too difficult to teach. Moreover, it required additional Time String.

After all, the predecessor of this sword technique was the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique. One must first cultivate that sword technique in order to understand the core of the Origin Scene Sword Canon.

The problem with the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique is its side effects...

This also meant that Lin Hui's methods of protecting and killing could not be fully passed down to this day.

After meditating in Clear Jade Mountain for more than a year, Lin Hui used the Supreme Omniscience Seal to integrate all his cultivation methods related to energy level enhancement and revise them into a unified Clear Jade Codex.

It contains the entire content on how to climb step by step from an ordinary person to a materialized energy level.

As for Colloidal Dissociation and above.

Lin Hui himself relied on the Heaven Seed to forcibly advance in his cultivation, so this parasitic method is not suitable for public disclosure. He will wait until he becomes stronger in the future to gradually refine and improve it before considering whether to pass it on.

After completing these steps, the Clear Jade Codex and the Star Breath Sword Classic, the two main lineages, became the primary cultivation paths for everyone in Clear Jade Mountain thereafter.

The former enhances energy level and increases realm. The latter enhances practical combat and increases the ways to utilize power.

Afterwards, Lin Hui reviewed the Nine Heavens Divine Wind Art of the Nine Heavens Gate again. He modified the parts that might involve Wind Disaster to allow him to borrow wind Wind Energy to power himself.

As a result, the Nine Heavens Divine Wind Art was significantly weakened, but also significantly safer.

Combined with the Devil Incense, it became the main cultivation system for both Clear Jade Mountain and Nine Heavens Gate.

That concludes the discussion.

All the aftermath was handled properly.

He was finally ready to embark on a new journey.

He didn't tell anyone about his idea of exploring the depths of the Wind Disaster, only mentioning that he was going on a trip and would be back soon.

As long as there was no danger or threat, everyone assumed he was just taking a casual stroll, and everyone remained oblivious to the ongoing process of relocating large numbers of humans from within Clear Jade Mountain.

Inside the vast, Wind Disaster.

Heartless Belt.

Lin Hui glanced at the Black Lotus token used by the Resistance Army, confirming that it could no longer receive signals. He then gently tossed it into the nearby flood of Disaster Energy, condensed a high-concentration Wind Energy to seal it off, and stored it there temporarily.

He immediately examined the Blood Seal on this foreign item and discovered a simple positioning and verification device inside.

Therefore, it is essential to complete the necessary preparations before departure.

Gazing at the vast blue torrent of Wind Disaster and disaster before me, I saw numerous Wind Disaster monsters of varying sizes appearing and disappearing within it.

This is the Heartless Belt, a Disaster Energy zone where a large number of mindless monsters gather.

This is the area of the mindless, hence the name "Heartless Belt".

The strength of an unconscious entity typically increases by at least a hundredfold. Furthermore, they are immortal and indestructible, making them extremely troublesome.

Therefore, even Lin Hui was unwilling to disturb them rashly at this moment. Because when facing unconscious entities without self-awareness, even his Sentient Fangsheng Art didn't have a very good solution.

His body was enveloped in the Disaster Energy the Wind Disaster, and he flew at high speed towards the depths of the Wind Disaster to avoid the unconscious entities that might attack him.

Following the direction of the increasingly high concentration of Disaster Energy, he repeatedly tore through space, drastically shortening the distance.

This continued for an unknown period of time.

Ten days.

One month.

Perhaps longer.

hiss.

Suddenly, Lin Hui stopped, slowed down quickly, and then slowly came to a stop, looking ahead.

Not far ahead, a region with a distinctly darker color of Disaster Energy came into his view.

Leiming rumbled and lightning flashed, traveling from the front.

"Is the Catastrophe Belt just ahead?" Lin Hui activated the Blood Seal and proceeded to identify it.

Soon, lines of dark red text appeared below his field of vision.

Wind Disaster Catastrophe Belt: An extremely dangerous area. Do not stay in one place for long, otherwise the continuous erosion caused by Disaster Energy will increase exponentially. The maximum erosion rate is one thousand times that of the Heartless Belt.

Note: This is the crucible Source Disaster merges with unconscious entities; many enormous, super-powerful calamity monsters originated here.

"... cannot stay in one place for too long..." Lin Hui silently memorized this characteristic.

Looking ahead, he took a deep breath, lunged forward, and plunged headfirst into the dark blue area filled with lightning and Leiming.

puff.

It was like being plunged into a pool of glue.

Lin Hui's disguise Disaster Energy immediately seemed out of place.

He quickly adjusted his position, absorbing Disaster Energy from the surrounding area to replenish his camouflage. But this absorption immediately felt far more strenuous than the effort required outside.

In reality, he has always controlled the Disaster Energy not by relying on the Origin Scene Sword Canon, nor on the Heaven Seed contained in the Sky-Piercing Void Absorption Seal he mainly cultivated, nor on the Yin-Time Self-Origin Art and the Immortal Fire.

Instead, it was the original, the quietest and most inconspicuous— the Typhoon Swordplay.

Yes.

Because the Star Breath Sword Classic absorbs stellar power, the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique uses Time String, and the Origin Scene Sword Canon also uses Time String, therefore...

He had always controlled the Disaster Energy using the techniques of the Typhoon Swordplay. It was only because his divine soul was constantly increasing in strength that he hadn't felt much of a difference. After all, it was enough for him.

But at this moment, the Typhoon Swordplay Technique was no longer able to control the terrifying, extremely violent Disaster Energy outside.

If controlling an external Disaster Energy is a difficulty level of one, then controlling one here is a difficulty level of over five thousand.

It was even throbbing violently.

As soon as he entered, Four Faces, deep blue lightning bolts of Disaster Energy roared towards Lin Hui from all directions.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

A dense barrage of Wind Disaster and lightning, like a cannon blast, exploded against the Surrounding Wind him.

There was no room to dodge. Even space itself was torn apart and shattered by these lightning bolts.

As a result, Lin Hui was firmly pinned to the entrance, unable to advance even an inch.

Without space, he had no means or means to move.

After a few breaths, he struggled to reconcile the space and barely managed to withdraw from the Catastrophe Belt.

With a casual flick of his finger, Lin Hui Time String annihilated a bizarre turtle-shaped monster that was attempting to attack, and returned to the point he had just entered.

"I actually have to manually repair the space before I can teleport away instantly... This godforsaken place..."

He raised his hand and looked at the thin white mark on the back of his hand that had been blasted out.

This is the injury to my hand after the Surrounding Wind was broken.

Because of the nature of the Catastrophe Belt, he remained in place, causing the damage from the erosion to increase rapidly.

Since space itself is shattered, perhaps we could simply travel forward, but then we wouldn't be able to control our direction. Spatial travel is a method that easily leads to unknown areas. And if we wanted to get back later, that would be troublesome...

Hovering in place, Lin Hui pondered for a moment.

They did not attempt to force their way in again.

Instead, he decisively turned around, returned, and left.

Since we can't even get into the Catastrophe Belt, let's go back first.

Without a second thought, he memorized the location and turned back.

After collecting the Black Lotus, Lin Hui returned to Clear Jade Mountain and quietly released Wind Energy, spreading it around.

Let's return to the entrance of the previous Catastrophe Belt separately.

He sat cross-legged and refused to move.

Right here, Yin-Time Self-Origin Art and the Immortal Fire began to frantically transform Disaster Energy.

Although the Ever-Burning Contemplation has evolved, its essential spiritual essence remains. The Immortal Fire is a power characteristic inherent within the Ever-Burning Contemplation.

Aside from conflicting techniques, evolution generally doesn't cause them to disappear directly. Just like the Typhoon Swordplay, after evolving, it doesn't immediately lose its mastery.

The Eternal True Order Essence allowed Lin Hui to not worry about being eroded and transformed by Disaster Energy. Meanwhile, the Yin-Time Self-Origin Art and the Immortal Fire frantically transformed the surrounding Disaster Energy into Wind Energy.

He simply hovered there quietly and began his ascetic practice.

He only occasionally ventures out of the Black Domain to use the Black Lotus to search for information about the Resistance Army forces and to post inquiries about things containing the Existence Force.

Time passed slowly.

Lin Hui did not rush straight ahead, but instead, while sensing the energy level and temporal state, patiently waited for the Wind Energy to transform and erode the external Disaster Energy.

Year after year...

Occasionally, Lin Hui would create a Avatar to return and report that he was safe and sound, and check on the situation at Clear Jade Mountain. It seemed that Lin Hui had completely secluded himself there and had never left again.

Over time, he simply used Wind Energy to condense a high concentration of substances and built a house there.

The exterior of the house is wrapped with collected remnants of the world to reduce erosion.

After all, Wind Energy can erode Disaster Energy, and Disaster Energy has a similar effect on Wind Energy.

Time flies...

In the blink of an eye, another hundred years have passed...

Beep beep beep...

Inside the hut.

Lin Hui suddenly awoke from his meditation, and the Black Lotus floating beside him was constantly emitting subtle notification sounds.

His gaze slowly returned from its blank and vacant state.

Decades of dedicated practice have gradually made him accustomed to this state of long-term seclusion and enlightenment.

There are no distractions, no entertainment, not even sleep is needed; only spiritual practice.

The conversion of Wind Energy continuously and synchronously expanded his divine soul, and now he himself doesn't know just how strong his divine soul has become.

All I know is that it's indescribable, boundless, with a vague sense of infinity.

Because Wind Energy, aside from being exposed to Source Disaster Energy, will decompose and erode anything else it encounters, thus strengthening itself. So even if he doesn't move, he will continuously feel his divine soul rapidly expanding, growing larger, and stronger.
