Chapter 543 - 237: Great Sun
Was it good?
Did that even need to be asked?
Of course it was good!
It couldn’t have been better.
Especially since the Level of this Li Fire Nature was shockingly high... the same Level as Qin Fang’s ’Eternal Freeze’.
One person possessing two Natures, and both of them Fifth Grade Natures at that... one could only imagine how terrifying that would be in a major battle.
The ability to switch between True Gang Natures would surely be a world of trouble for any enemy.
But the problem was... the arrival of this ’Great Sun’ was just too bizarre!
’He’d noticed that after the great fish was severely injured, the Golden Light was gone from its mouth... Could it be that this Great Sun *was* the source of that Golden Light?’
’But why would the source of the Golden Light suddenly enter my body?’
’And why would it take up residence in my Sea of Consciousness?’
He couldn’t figure out the reason for any of it... How could he possibly be at ease?
Qin Fang was no Ordinary Martial Artist; he had a Golden Finger!
He had easily passed the perilous trial of Condensing Gang with the help of his panel... and in the midst of a crisis, no less.
So Qin Fang had no need for some accidental power... He only had to continue cultivating step-by-step, and he would reach great heights sooner or later.
...Even if he wanted to obtain other powers later on, he would only do so after fully understanding the situation!
But now, this ’Great Sun’ that had inexplicably appeared in his Sea of Consciousness filled him with unease!
’...This thing... it isn’t dangerous, is it?’
Qin Fang pursed his lips and began to probe it repeatedly...
Yet, no matter how he probed... it seemed completely harmless.
When his True Gang entered it, nothing happened.
But as soon as his Divine Sense probed inside, his True Essence Nature would change.
The moment he withdrew his Divine Sense, his Nature would revert.
It was like a switch... a switch that changed his True Essence Nature.
Aside from that, he couldn’t find anything abnormal or dangerous.
Still deeply uneasy, Qin Fang tried to see if he could get this thing out of his Sea of Consciousness...
In the end, after working at it for ages, he was at a complete loss...
He couldn’t get it out.
When his Divine Sense probed inside, his Nature changed.
When his True Gang entered, it was like probing a void... There was no reaction at all.
No matter what Qin Fang did, he even tried to ’prick’ it with the ’Profound Nether Realm-Breaking Awl’.
But there was still no change.
It seemed nothing but his Divine Sense could touch it.
And when his Divine Sense entered it, it would naturally change his Nature... He had no idea what kind of scientific principle was at work.
In the end, Qin Fang gave up completely.
He let out a long breath...
’Forget it, forget it. For now, at least, this thing... doesn’t seem to be dangerous?’
His brow was knitted in a deep frown.
’Maybe... there really isn’t any danger?’
’Otherwise, why would the great fish have tried to eat it?’
Still, Qin Fang couldn’t understand why it had suddenly drilled into his body and caused such a change.
’Could it be... that some special reaction was triggered during Condensing Gang?’
The thought came to him naturally, and his brow furrowed.
...He understood most of the Condensing Gang process, like the condensation of True Essence and the fusion of Divine Sense.
The only thing he didn’t quite understand... was that peculiar rhythm of heaven and earth.
He had no idea where it came from.
It had transformed into a great hammer, battering his True Essence True Gang.
...It seemed that everyone triggered this rhythm of heaven and earth when Condensing Gang.
’...Could it be that the rhythm of heaven and earth attracted it?’
Qin Fang didn’t know.
He could only make wild guesses.
But in the end, all he could do was let out another long sigh...
There was nothing he could do about this thing anyway; he would just have to let it be.
Qin Fang finally looked away, turning his gaze to the Great Abyss below.
...The area where that bit of True Gang had exploded a moment ago had already returned to a state of calm, like the surface of water.
Sure enough, True Gang and True Essence were two completely different things.
The difference in power was immense!
Before, he couldn’t have disturbed the calm surface of this Great Abyss even if he’d used all his Strength.
But just now, a flick of his finger had sent a tiny amount of his Li Fire Nature to explode here, breaking the surface.
Aside from the fact that the Natures were in complete opposition, another reason was simply that the destructive power of Qin Fang’s True Gang far surpassed that of his True Essence.
The Gang Wind was still raging all around him.
But now, when it blew against Qin Fang, it was as if it wasn’t there at all.
He didn’t feel a single thing...
...Compared to when he first entered this place, his combat power had increased by more than tenfold, hadn’t it?
’The Divine Illumination Realm... with my current strength, taking on someone in the Fifth Realm... shouldn’t be much of a problem, right?’
Qin Fang thought.
He looked at his right hand.
The next moment, a smear of profound, dark True Gang coalesced in his palm.
With a single thought, it transformed into a True Gang Dart, which spun in mid-air.
’It’s a good thing, though. Having my Nature split between two extremes gives me more options in a fight... Plus, this new Nature is also Fifth Grade, its power is in no way inferior to ’Eternal Freeze’.’
As he thought this, he lightly clenched his fist. The True Gang Dart shattered back into raw True Gang and was absorbed into his palm.
Then he raised his head, looking at the star-filled sky.
His eyes glinted.
’Was the Great Sun one of those shooting stars? Just how many more secrets does this Heavenly Gang Secret Realm hold?’
’This sea of stars... what is it, really? And what else lies beneath the Great Abyss?’
He looked down at the endless, pitch-black Great Abyss.
’Is this really... just a Secret Realm?’
For a moment, his mind raced with all sorts of wild speculations.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally heaved a sigh, and a look of vexation appeared on his face.
’Let’s put all that aside for now.’
’The real problem is...’
’How the fuck am I supposed to get out of here now?!’
Weren’t you only supposed to be able to stay here for three years at most?
He didn’t know how long that great fish and the Golden Light had been locked in their standoff, but he was sure it had been at least half a year, if not a full one.
...Even if the Ultimate Yin Primordial Power inside the great fish was incredibly dense, it couldn’t have been denser than the area forty meters into the Cold Cave.
So there’s no way Qin Fang could have reached Perfection in a short amount of time.
It must have taken half a year, at the very least!
In other words, he had already been in this World for more than three years.
’...Don’t tell me the force of expulsion already came and went, but I missed it because I was inside the great fish. And now... it’s not coming back, is it?!’
As this possibility occurred to him, Qin Fang’s eyes went wide.
’...I’m... trapped in this bizarre and dangerous World?!’
