#697 - Chapter 696 Moving Mountains (4000 words)
"Already eaten it?" Zhang Yuanjing was greatly surprised, and then secretly thought it was bad, and quickly sent a thought, "Quickly leave that tree root!"
However, it was too late. Zhang Shi sent a thought: "Master, the power of that light ball is all coming into my body! I can't hold on anymore!"
The Source Stone is a rare object born from heaven and earth, and it can grow by devouring spiritual objects. Moreover, it is not like cultivators or demon beasts, who may explode and die if they eat something that exceeds their realm and strength too much. From the time he obtained the Source Stone until now, Zhang Yuanjing has never seen the Source Stone have any indigestion. No matter what it is, it accepts everything and refines it smoothly.
However, the power in this light ball frightened it. It seems that it is not because these powers exceed its level, but because it is not an unowned object. These powers are actually controlled by a spirituality, so they are not as easy to refine as ordinary spiritual objects.
"Zhang Shi, don't panic!" Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a moment and quickly instructed, "This light ball is mostly from an extraterrestrial boulder and is an earth attribute object, so it wants to strip your spiritual consciousness and occupy your body. Guard your own spirituality and don't let it succeed!"
Zhang Shi heard this and calmed down, answering: "Yes, Master! Zhang Shi will not let it succeed!"
Zhang Yuanjing is the master of Zhang Shi's divine soul, and his spiritual consciousness is connected to his divine soul. As long as his spiritual soul is not destroyed, Zhang Shi's spiritual consciousness will not dissipate.
From the level of divine soul and spiritual consciousness alone, he and Zhang Shi are stronger than that light ball. However, the power level of the light ball is too strong, and it contains a powerful spirituality. Relying solely on the advantage of power is enough to磨去 Zhang Shi's spirituality and then devour its spiritual consciousness. He can provide support through his divine soul, but after all, his realm is too low and he may not be able to hold on for long.
His gaze fell on the light ball. No matter how strong the power is, its foundation is still this light ball. However, no matter how he looked or how he used his divine sense to investigate, he could never see what the inside of the light ball looked like.
"Zhang San, what is in the light ball?"
"Master, the light ball is just a ball of spiritual energy. Zhang San can't sense anything else!"
Zhang Yuanjing was helpless. Zhang San's spiritual sense can only sense spiritual energy and cannot identify the entire appearance of an object like divine sense.
He pondered for a moment and then asked, "Compared to before, is the spiritual energy in the light ball weaker or unchanged?"
Zhang San said, "It seems to be a little weaker, but the change is not significant. It is still so strong, like a ball of fire in the night sky."
"Continue to absorb its power, the more the better!"
Zhang San received his instructions and released the faint light, gathering around the light ball and forming several spiritual energy vortexes, trying to extract its power.
However, not much power flowed out of the light ball. The vortexes absorbed spiritual power overflowing from the great spiritual cave in the ground.
"Master, there is not much power left in that light ball," Zhang San said.
"Well, don't stop, keep absorbing!"
Zhang Yuanjing released the handle of the Refined Yang Umbrella and slowly approached the light ball. In this deep earth, the light ball did not occupy a space, but was mixed in the soil. Its size was now only like a melon, but when he cast his divine sense on it, it was as if he had fallen into a misty space, with light balls like clouds everywhere, but he could not find anything with a body.
Back then, at the bottom of the Profound Yin Cave, the Yang Evolution Beast born from the spiritual vein was essentially a ball of fire. Although it did not have a body like cultivators, demon beasts, tree spirits, or stone monsters, it still had its shape, and it was not like this light ball, which was just a vague and ethereal ball.
Therefore, Zhang Yuanjing guessed that this light ball was actually just its disguise, or a natural means to protect its foundation.
Whether it was dealing with the goblins before or attacking the Refined Yang Umbrella later, the light ball remained unchanged, only releasing the strange power inside. This certainly shows its power, but conversely, it also means its fragility. It is clearly just a light ball, but it does not dare to kill the enemy with that strange power, obviously worried that its own foundation will be damaged. With its strength, it still has this fear, so what can damage the foundation of this object must be the divine soul or spiritual consciousness. This is exactly what it needs most and what it fears most.
With this thought, Zhang Yuanjing no longer hesitated, and bearing the enormous earth force, he fell down and rushed into the seemingly vast and endless space where the light balls flickered.
His feet were soft, as if stepping on cotton wool, and he walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Light balls floated above his head and around his body, touching like clouds, but slightly hot. At first, he didn't feel anything, but after walking a dozen steps inside, he felt hot all over and sweat dripping.
The enormous earth force that was originally pressing on his body disappeared completely.
However, Zhang Yuanjing did not feel relaxed because of this, but became more vigilant. Before, when he approached the light ball from above, he was suddenly pressed down by a huge force when he was still more than ten feet away from it. If the Refined Yang Umbrella had not supported him, he would have fallen into the light ball at that time. At that time, there was still that strange power in the light ball, and entering it would most likely be fatal.
This undoubtedly shows that the thing in the light ball has the ability to control the earth force. Since it can strip the earth force, it can naturally attract it, and even concentrate the earth force from different places to crush him in one fell swoop.
He took precautions, first swallowing some black mud, and secretly running the Soaring Heaven Art to maintain his bones in a strong state to prevent a sudden attack.
After walking about a hundred steps, his feet began to harden. He looked down and saw that the bottom had become a hard earth surface. The light balls surrounding him began to become sparse. After another ten steps, the light balls gradually went upwards, and the surroundings became empty.
At this time, he saw a golden stone floating thirty or forty feet away in front of him. Its shape was like a "mountain", its spiritual energy was like fire, and its light was like the sun. Just one glance made his eyes sting.
He was secretly startled, but also attracted by this object. That ball of spiritual energy is simply the purest earth power. If he can obtain it, the Nascent Soul is within reach!
He couldn't help but take a few steps forward. With this movement, the golden stone suddenly "looked" at him. Although it had no eyes, that was the feeling it gave him.
What followed was the earth force of a giant mountain pressing down on him, much greater than the force exerted by the soil layer six hundred feet deep.
He bent over and almost knelt on the ground.
If he were in the soil, the earth force would come from all directions, and he could rely on his strong bones to persevere. However, the earth force here came from above, all concentrated on the top of his head, forcing him to stretch out his hands to lift it up.
From his arms to his shoulders, and then to his waist and legs, his bones cracked as if they were about to break. Many parts of his skin burst open and blood flowed straight down.
He wanted to straighten his legs, but the power pressing on his head was like a mountain, unmoving.
Fortunately, there was still the black mud in his body. The greater the external force, the faster this object was refined, and the more tempering power it provided. This power was originally used to forge bones, but at this time, it all went to resist the gravity from above. In this way, he could barely withstand the mountain-like force and not be crushed.
However, he did not swallow much black mud, and it could not withstand long-term consumption. His hands were holding up the giant force above, and he could not free them to take things from the storage bracelet.
He couldn't even release Ape Thirteen to share the heavy pressure for him.
"The one who moves the mountain does not move it, but bears it!"
A sentence of the magic formula hidden in his memory and covered by many thoughts suddenly emerged. This is the first sentence of the opening chapter of the "Mountain Moving Art" in the Eight Earth Arts.
In the past, when his strength and realm were quite low, when he comprehended the Eight Arts, even the most obscure Soaring Heaven Art, he could understand several sentences, but only for this Mountain Moving Art, he could not grasp the key to the first sentence. What is "moving"? What is "bearing"? If it is the same as the usual understanding, then this "moving" is undoubtedly shoulder carrying and hand lifting, while "bearing" is using a carrying pole, with a mountain at each end. However, what kind of carrying pole can bear two mountains? And how to bear it?
Because he could not understand what was meant by "carrying pole", he could never enter the door for the words of bearing the mountain.
At this time, under heavy pressure, he suddenly realized that the key to "bearing" is not in "what is the carrying pole", but in "dividing and bearing it". If the giant force on his head was not condensed into a group, but divided into two places, it would be much easier.
With this thought, he could understand the text below the Mountain Moving Art, which talked about the magic formula for "bearing".
The main point is "to control it with two", whether the pressing force is one or several, I will divide it into two to bear it. Inside is a secret method of using the body as a medium to share the force. This is actually treating one's own body as a carrying pole, with the tenacity of the bones as its foundation.
Therefore, practicing this Mountain Moving Art requires mastering the Soaring Heaven Art as a prerequisite, and bone forging must be its prerequisite, otherwise it is useless even if you understand it.
Under heavy pressure, Zhang Yuanjing silently recited the magic formula. Perhaps it was because the "mountain" was carried on his body, the comprehension was very smooth. Because all wrong understandings are useless in dealing with the current crisis, so once a mistake is tried, it is immediately converted. After repeated attempts, he quickly deduced the correct method of performing the exercise.
When the specific method of "controlling it with two" was put into operation, the thick earth force in his body reversed the usual exercise route, and revolved around his body, turning into a cyclone. At first, he did not see its function, but after a dozen breaths, Zhang Yuanjing suddenly felt that the force on his head was reduced, and the pressure on both sides increased.
He used the Soaring Heaven Art, using his shoulders as carrying poles and his spine as a fulcrum, to lift up the force from both sides. In an instant, his shoulders sank, his waist and back bent, but his legs straightened, and at the same time, his hands were also released.
He quickly took out a ball of black mud and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it whole and refining it with the Soaring Heaven Art.
After half a cup of tea, the giant force on his head gradually weakened, and all of it was transferred to his shoulders with the cyclone in his body. The power was still the same power, but Zhang Yuanjing found it much easier to deal with, at least he would not be crushed by it.
However, this still cannot resolve the current crisis. He can only hold on temporarily, but he cannot escape. That power is always suppressing him above.
After "controlling it with two" and "dividing it to bear it", there is still the most critical link in the Mountain Moving Art, which is "moving it away". If the pressing force cannot be moved away, then it cannot be called moving the mountain, at most it is bearing the mountain.
How to move it? The magic formula shows that one is to exchange, that is, to exchange the force being borne with other forces. This is considered moving it away. Of course, this is not a complete liberation, and you still need to bear the exchanged force.
Zhang Yuanjing thought about this for a long time, but he never understood the meaning contained in it. Moreover, he did not understand how to perform the exercise in order to achieve this exchange. However, he guessed that this exchange is mostly to exchange the forces that are incompatible with oneself for forces that are more compatible with oneself, or at least easier to bear, thereby reducing the pressure.
The other is to resist, that is, to offset, using the force being borne to offset another force. This is a means of attack and defense, equivalent to borrowing strength to fight strength.
Once Zhang Yuanjing understood the essence of this formula, he understood its exercise method. The rest was to find another force to use to achieve the offset.
There is no doubt that the only thing that can provide a force equivalent to the gravity on the head is the "mountain"-shaped stone.
He urged the Soaring Heaven Art to speed up the refining of the black mud. When the bone-refining power became like a surge, he stepped forward.
"Boom!"
His footsteps landed, the earth trembled, and the entire space shook.
The golden stone seemed to be frightened and retreated several feet. A thought with doubt and exploration fell on Zhang Yuanjing.
Zhang Yuanjing took another step, and the earth and sky still trembled, and the space was about to crack. Just taking these two steps had already consumed most of his power. Whether the third step could be taken, and what the consequences would be after taking it, could not be predicted.
However, these two steps of his really frightened the golden stone. The stone flowed with golden light, like a precious jade shining brightly, and suddenly shot out a strong beam of light, hitting him.
Zhang Yuanjing thought it was good to come, and ran the Mountain Moving Art, and suddenly twisted his body, and slammed the force he was bearing into the beam of light.
"Boom!"
A foot away in front of him, the invisible force collided with the light of the blazing sun, making a loud explosion, and thick smoke rolled up, obscuring his vision.
The beam of light disappeared, and the force Zhang Yuanjing was bearing suddenly decreased by a large amount.
He was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward, "Teng Teng Teng" and walked ten steps in a row. Each step was very heavy, but far less imposing and oppressive than the previous two steps.
However, the golden stone was already a little flustered, and its spirituality could not think about the mystery, and immediately released another blazing light.
Zhang Yuanjing became more and more excited, shaking his shoulders like gold and iron, and using the force he was bearing to defeat it. The gravity on his body was weakened again, and his steps forward were naturally lighter.
The golden stone moved backwards, but its speed was very slow, and Zhang Yuanjing caught up with it in a few breaths. The stone released a blazing light again, but its power was far less powerful than before, and it was easily blocked by Zhang Yuanjing.
The opportunity was right in front of him, but Zhang Yuanjing was not overwhelmed by the victory, and condensed a cage with mana to encircle the golden stone. In an instant, the gravity on both shoulders disappeared completely.
Zhang Yuanjing exhaled a breath mixed with turbid air, and was thinking about how to collect this object, when the golden stone suddenly jumped, and jumped to the top of his head, turning into a ten-foot golden mountain, and pressed down.
Zhang Yuanjing was caught off guard. When he was pressed by the golden mountain, he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, his reaction was still sharp, and the Mountain Moving Art that he had just comprehended was also familiar. With a thought, the magic formula turned, the cyclone in his body rose again, quickly dissolving the heavy pressure of the golden mountain, and bearing it with his body. Finally, he resolved the crisis.
However, where can he find another force to offset the oppression of this golden mountain!
