Chapter 599 - 592: Defect
BOOM!!
The mountain range trembled, and the Jasper Pool ran dry.
At that moment, Tu Junshan was unleashing his abilities to their absolute limit without restraint.
He gathered the magnetic fields of the mountains and earth veins, converging them into himself like a divine spirit of the land!
Known as the Western Xuanwu, his most formidable ability was his connection with the magnetic fields of the earth veins.
In the right environment, his own power could increase severalfold.
Since embarking on the Martial Dao and mastering his control over the earth veins, Tu Junshan had never once tried to push his abilities to this extent.
Across all of Donghua, perhaps even the entire world, no mountain range could compare to the Kunlun Mountain Range in terms of the sheer power of its Dragon Vein magnetic field.
And now, he was recklessly and wildly drawing upon the power of this planet’s mightiest Dragon Vein.
BZZZZ!!
At this very moment, the entire Kunlun Mountain Range seemed to emit an imperceptible glimmer. Under the infusion of the immense earth vein magnetic field, Tu Junshan’s body began to undergo a massive transformation.
The phantom of a giant mountain, coalesced from the magnetic field, appeared behind him. As the field poured in, the mountain grew ever larger, and with it, Tu Junshan’s own body swelled in size.
As his spirit fully immersed itself in Earth’s strongest earth vein magnetic field, an unprecedented sense of enlightenment and emotion welled up in Tu Junshan’s heart.
His spirit seemed to follow the vast and complex Kunlun Earth Vein, spreading out in all directions and sinking deep beneath the land. He could faintly sense a subtle connection forming with the magnetic fields created by the complex terrain of all of Donghua, and even the entire Far East Region.
Kunlun, the Primordial Ancestor of all mountains, the source of the Dragon Vein.
Master the mysteries of the source, and one could use it as a foundation to spread their influence across all the earth veins of the world!
However, at this moment, it was too much for Tu Junshan’s will and body to bear the full force of this immense Dragon Vein power. Under the continuous infusion of the earth vein’s magnetic field, both his will and body were reaching a saturation point, like a bomb bloated to its limit, ready to explode at any second.
It was then that Tu Junshan’s eyes flew open.
’Suppress!!’
BOOM!!
The enormous mountain Dharma Aspect behind him pressed down, and just as his body was about to burst from the colossal magnetic field, he instantly bent down and gripped the hilt of the Blood Bone Sword.
SHHHH!!
Following the connection between Tu Junshan and the Blood Bone Sword, the tremendously powerful magnetic field instantly began surging into the blade, intensely stimulating the cells within.
The magnetic field crisis within Tu Junshan’s body was vented and alleviated, and he unexpectedly entered a wondrous state of equilibrium.
Off to the side, Zhou Yuanjue’s eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of surprise on his face.
He could sense that Tu Junshan had merged with the magnetic fields of the land and mountains. Using the Blood Bone Sword and the Immortal Palace’s Seal as a medium, he had formed a peculiar, virtuous cycle. In this state, by extending his will and magnetic field through the world’s earth veins, Tu Junshan’s own will and field would be greatly tempered and experience a massive boost.
Given enough time, he might be able to use this state to truly reach the pinnacle of ordinary life, and perhaps even glimpse the mysteries of the Primordial Realm through the Reincarnation Technique.
He looked forward to seeing what kind of path Tu Junshan would walk when that time came.
"Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would never have had such an opportunity!"
Tu Junshan laughed heartily. Gripping the hilt of the Blood Bone Sword and maintaining that wondrous state, he slowly sat down on the spot.
"However, you still charged forward without hesitation, even when facing what seemed to be a land of certain death. This is an opportunity you earned for yourself."
Zhou Yuanjue said softly.
Fortune and misfortune are intertwined, their mysteries profound and difficult to grasp.
In the unseen world, it seems there is a fixed order.
For those who are timid and hesitant, calamity looms.
For those who press bravely forward, danger turns to safety.
This world is fair.
"Leave this place to me. You can go and conquer and change this world without worry."
Tu Junshan said to Zhou Yuanjue with a smile.
"No. It was never just me. It’s we."
Zhou Yuanjue replied, also smiling.
Among humanity and Martial Artists, his radiance was now as dazzling as the sun in the sky. The many stars of yesterday could no longer compete with his brilliance. However, without the silent contributions of those twinkling stars behind him, he could never have reached the point he was at today.
When you drink the water, remember its source.

「Secret Inspection Bureau Headquarters, Secret Laboratory.」
After concluding the matter at Kunlun Mountain, Zhou Yuanjue returned to Shangjing Prefecture.
Throughout this time, he had been unable to reshape his arm, remaining in a one-armed state. This condition caused extreme worry among the Secret Inspection Bureau staff.
Of course, it wasn’t that Zhou Yuanjue was unwilling to reshape his arm; he simply couldn’t.
He had never experienced energy depletion since advancing to the Primordial Realm. This was because he had consumed a vast amount of the Forest Race’s Source Liquid during his breakthrough, bringing his energy reserves to their peak. After the battle at Kunlun, however, those reserves had hit rock bottom.
It was only then that he realized a crucial problem.
Ordinary food, even the highly concentrated nutritional food "Black Pills" he had eaten before, could no longer keep up with his body’s nutritional and energy demands. After consuming his entire stock of Black Pills, his body’s energy had recovered by less than ten percent.
His body and realm had completely surpassed the limits of Earth’s biosphere. But by the same token, this also meant that Earth’s entire biosphere was finding it increasingly difficult to supply his energy needs.
In the secret laboratory, Zhou Yuanjue sat cross-legged in the center of a room rated for nuclear detonations. Countless of the nation’s top biologists, energy scientists, and nuclear physicists had gathered and were bustling about.
They had only one task: to find a way to help Zhou Yuanjue’s body recharge its energy quickly.
"Prepare Charging Liquid Number Three! Release!!"
Following the command, panels on the laboratory walls opened, and a thick, azure liquid poured out, rapidly filling the entire room and enveloping Zhou Yuanjue’s body.
The pores of Zhou Yuanjue’s body opened wide as he began to frantically absorb the immense energy within the viscous liquid.
However, the absorption rate was less than satisfactory.
The Celestial Demon Ancestor, and even the Ancient True Kings, all had their own special methods of absorbing energy.
For example, the Withering King, Bi Qiu, replenished himself by plundering the bio-energy within a certain radius, leaving no life in his wake.
And now, Zhou Yuanjue also had to find his own efficient method of energy absorption to remedy this suddenly apparent weakness as soon as possible.
