1004: Chapter 286: Human Body × 0.2 1004: Chapter 286: Human Body × 0.2 “Tao Rhythm resonates like a bell, echoing through the Array.
It flows like a river, unceasing and continuous.”
A shattered Bronze Basin lay scattered atop the water, trembling and struggling as it gathered toward the center.
This was the feeling it had, even though its master had forcefully brought it aboard, good things kept coming.
While being subdued, its Quality had been uplifted, and ever since then the Tao Rhythm from its master never ceased, even coming closer to it.
As a Magical Treasure with its own spirit, it was akin to a Cultivator who could draw True Yuan from the heavens and earth to advance.
Although slow to the point of frustration, the capability was there, distinct from ordinary Magical Treasures.
Ji Feixue paid no mind to the Bronze Basin’s small movements, knowing well Su He was here, it couldn’t escape and could be dismantled for study at any time.
Her gaze fell upon Su He, thoroughly examining him.
The Tao Rhythm within Su He was unlike anything she had seen in her life.
None of the Cave Heaven and Blessed Lands or Enlightened Dao Tea could compare.
If she could cultivate under such Tao Rhythm like Su He, she would have reached the Stepping Sky Seven-fold a millennium ago.
The Tao Rhythm on Su He shimmered as his aura climbed higher, wave after wave of Azure Light swelling outward, resonating across the distance with the lake’s aquamarine glow.
Everything seemed to be progressing well.
However, Ji Feixue’s brow increasingly furrowed, recognizing Su He’s crude method of breaking through his boundary.
Breaking a bottleneck was not to be done with brute force.
Such recklessness could only harm the body!
This Dragon Turtle lacked the experience in breaking through, having never faced a bottleneck in his cultivation!
Naturally, it made sense, given his age and the heights he had reached in cultivation, he had never been hindered by bottlenecks.
Though inclined to advise, at this moment, Su He was fully focused on breaking through; speaking out might disrupt his concentration and inadvertently lead to a backlash, which wouldn’t be ideal.
Ji Feixue watched him, her graceful hands pulling out an ancient zither.
Sitting cross-legged on the water surface, the zither resting on her lap, her tender jade fingers plucked at the strings, producing chiming tones.
Rather than disturbing with words, she guided with her music.
The sounds did not intrude upon the ears, yet the rhythm subtly rippled through the surroundings.
If the Dragon Turtle sensed it, he would know her intentions. The rightful source is novelFirｅ.net
Internally, Su He focused on channeling his entire body’s true essence into the Sacred Beast Crystal Stone, but anxiety grew.
This Sacred Beast Crystal Stone…
He hadn’t realized before that the Sacred Beast Crystal Stone could be enhanced or advanced!
He had hoped to cheat with the “Tao Te Ching,” but instead—the “Tao Te Ching” seemed to be backfiring!
As the Tao Rhythm sounded, the Sacred Beast Crystal Stone not only failed to break through but became even harder!
The “Tao Te Ching” had a strong enhancing effect on the Sacred Beast Crystal Stone, a phenomenon unseen before his challenge, but it became acutely clear near this critical point.
Enhancing the Sacred Beast Crystal Stone was certainly advantageous, but now was not the time!
The situation felt like having a great teacher hidden nearby who did nothing all year, but come exam time, suddenly burst forth, replacing your test with a hell-level exam.
Regrettably, Su He couldn’t back down—not out of greed, but because he was caught between a rock and a hard place!
The Crystal Stone had been enhanced by the Tao Scripture but hadn’t completed its evolution; even a slight pause had started to show cracks.
Like Alchemy, either succeed fully or not at all.
Without fully brewing, one might as well consume raw herbs; stopping midway brings only harm.
The same went for the Sacred Beast Crystal Stone, either avoid Tao Scripture enhancement or see it through.
Pulling back mid-way would bring endless misfortune.
The Crystal Stone might shatter!
Su He was in a precarious position!
As the Water bead dissolved in his mouth, it transformed into an indescribable force, mingling with his true essence, repeatedly charging at the Crystal Stone.
Su He’s entire mind felt like surging waves, each wave crashing upon the next.
Each assault on the Crystal Stone rebounded, each rebound like a heavy blow to his mind.
The roaring mixed with the force of the blows left Su He reeling.
But he couldn’t stop, enduring the discomfort in his brain, striking at the Crystal Stone time and again.
Outside the Suppression Land, the Black Dragon gasped for breath.
With no air in the Chaos, each breath he took was a mouthful of deep red Chaos.
The Black Dragon swam along the membrane of Suppression Land’s boundaries leaving sinuous traces, which became Symbols embedded in the walls.
His breathing soon resembled a broken bellows, constantly wheezing.
Halting, he swallowed two Treasure Medicines whole.
His eyes flickered with a sinister light; that Dragon Turtle must be killed!
Unsure how the Dragon Turtle had harnessed the Power of Time, the recent Heavenly Punishment was not the focus, but rather it triggered the explosion of Time Power, blasting from his throat down to his chest, half of the dragon was eroded by the Power of Time.
If not for his unique intrinsic powers, that Power of Time alone might have taken his life.
Even with his unique power providing some protection, recovery was difficult.
Especially since that fool had severed something from him, taking away some memories and leaving him confused over various matters.
Why did he turn black?
Why being black caused him to feel aversion towards the Dragon clan?
He subconsciously dared not approach the Dragon clan, feeling as if merely appearing before them would lead to his elimination by the Dragon clan!
He wasn’t concerned about that; he could just hide.
But this piece of Suppression Land must be destroyed!
Unsure of what Ji Tianchen had done to him, this piece of Suppression Land had become his obsession; knowing something extremely detrimental to him was inside, yet he couldn’t stop himself from wanting to rush in, especially knowing that Ji Feixue was inside.
This feeling was wrong!
Dragons shouldn’t be this foolish!
This place must be destroyed!
Chaos could erase everything, just destroy the barrier membrane of the Suppression Land, and Chaos would naturally devour everything.
Everything would return to Chaos.
