Novel Full Chapter 41 - 39: Abyss
Chapter 41: Chapter 39: Abyss
It was late at night.
There were no stars in the sky over the Great Wilderness, and no moon in sight.
Inside the Sacrificial Fire Tribe, everything was bustling.
Cauldrons were being set up one after another, and when there weren’t enough, they were replaced with gigantic beast bones of matching shapes.
Below, fierce flames were burning.
Frozen ice blocks of Python Blood were placed into the cauldrons, and the treasures collected by the tribe were also put in one after another.
Qin Jin, commanding the Deep Driller, stood by the side. At that moment, the consumed Wish Power transformed into golden light, swiftly shooting to both ends.
One end fell into the container, while the other plunged into the fire.
The flames, mixed with resplendent gold, became vigorous at a speed visible to the naked eye, melting the ice blocks in the container. The Treasure Blood combined with Great Medicine, its fragrance permeating and pleasing the heart.
The young children of the tribe made up the first batch.
Upon reaching the bone age of sixteen, one could begin to cultivate the Breathing Technique. Now that the Sacrificial Fire Tribe was being rebuilt, the children represented the future, so it was only natural to lay a solid foundation while they were young, allowing them to go further and climb higher in the future.
As the children were lifted and thrown into the container, frost immediately began to form around their bodies.
However, with the Wish Power infused by Qin Jin, they were not in any danger.
Qin Jin’s attention was focused on Shi Cang.
In his Spiritual Perception, Shi Cang, entering the cauldron, instinctively struggled, and in his constant struggling, the power contained within this pot of Great Medicine was quickly absorbed by him.
This performance undoubtedly matched his talents.
Moreover.
Under Qin Jin’s attentive watch, on Shi Cang’s back, crystal-like patterns gradually emerged.
Awakening the Treasure Skill!
Seeing this scene, Qin Jin pondered for a moment, then immediately controlled the Wish Power, preparing to interrupt the awakening Treasure Skill without harming him.
The Three-headed Exotic Python, being an Ancient Relic Species, had exceptionally high levels, and the Treasure Skill it condensed was bound to be extraordinary.
But…
Qin Jin had already started analyzing the process of the Treasure Skill’s formation.
In the future, he planned to explore a method to directly teach the Fire Sacrifice Tribe people the Treasure Skill.
If it were just ordinary tribe members, it would be fine, but Shi Cang, whom he discovered in the tribe as a Celestial Pride, deserved to be seriously nurtured.
Treasure Skills, in the end, were just techniques.
The individual was the foundation of everything.
He intended to break off the Treasure Skill and allow the contained power to lay a solid foundation for Shi Cang.
Wish Power leaped out.
Aware of something, Qin Jin stopped his movement.
In the Spiritual Perception, the patterns on Shi Cang’s back continued to spread, almost covering the entire back, and the Treasure Skill was almost formed.
But at this moment…
Silently, the Treasure Skill patterns began to fade, and the power contained within them moved around in Shi Cang’s body, finally stopping at a certain point and gradually being absorbed.
Qin Jin traced the trail of power and found the target.
The final destination of the power was at Shi Cang’s forehead.
In his Spiritual Perception, the little guy’s forehead seemed to harbor an Abyss, constantly devouring power.
A small portion of the power contained within the Great Medicine refined the physique, while most of it was sucked into this abyss.
“It seems to be nurturing something.”
“Is this Shi Cang’s talent?”
“Ding Yang has a Special Constitution, I wonder what Shi Cang’s gift will be.”
Qin Jin’s Spiritual Power lingered outside the forehead and ultimately did not delve deeper.
With the protection of Wish Power, he could indeed enter and explore.
But after all, this was a child of his tribe, and there was a strong possibility that he was an SSR.
If any accident were to occur due to his rash actions, it would be far from ideal.
The thought passed, and through inner dialogue, Qin Jin connected with Qi Chuan, offering a few instructions.
The abyss in Shi Cang’s forehead seemed like a great devourer.
Previously, the Sacrificial Fire Tribe was in ruins and might not have been able to satisfy him.
But now, with the generous gifts left by the Horse-headed God, the Three-headed Exotic Python was like a treasure mine, waiting for the Sacrificial Fire Tribe to mine it.
Qin Jin was very curious about what changes would occur in the little guy, Shi Cang, once the abyss was satisfied.
Within the tribe, the medicinal bath continued.
After the little ones were done, the adults of the tribe would take their turn, using Beast Blood to refine their physiques.
Qin Jin no longer paid attention, leaving instructions not to disturb him, and returned to his Sacrificial Spirit Hall.
With the increased reserves of Wish Power, he consumed it and set a restriction around the hall, preventing tribe members from entering without his permission.
In the cockpit, as Qin Jin’s form rose and fell, he had already begun operating the Breathing Technique.
The enhanced Thunder Beast Breathing Technique could only bring out its fullest potential within the Great Wilderness.
Thunder Spiritual Power gathered, assisting Life Energy, and cultivation began.
During cultivation, Qin Jin thought of a question.
“The Thunder Beast Breathing Technique obviously has a unique attraction to Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power.”
“In the current Sacrificial Fire Tribe, everyone practices this technique, but those like Ding Yang with Special Constitutions, if they switch to a Breathing Technique inclined towards the Fire Attribute in the future, would they achieve twice the result with half the effort?”
…
The following day.
Qin Jin headed to the base.
With a restriction set by Wish Power around the Sacrificial Spirit Hall, the tribe members were unaware of the situation inside, and he essentially maintained an indirect presence within the tribe, using it as a temporary teleportation point.
Upon arriving at the base, along the way, the base personnel, upon seeing Qin Jin, nodded and greeted him.
Over the many days, the base personnel all knew that Qin Jin was the genius their boss appreciated.
“Brother Jin.”
A voice called from not far away.
Yu Sheng quickly ran over.
His expression was calm, the initial complexity of feelings had already dissipated.
“How have you felt these past few days?”
Qin Jin asked.
“The intensity is increasing.”
Yu Sheng adjusted his glasses, “But I can still hold on.”
“Brother Jin, you’re right. Even if we’re eliminated in the end, the gains this time are substantial.”
Qin Jin looked at him.
He could sense the vigorous aura surrounding Yu Sheng, indicating a state close to New Life.
“Keep it up.”
“Yu Sheng, if you can secure a spot to work under Teacher Chu, it would be extremely beneficial. It’s not easy to connect with a Spiritualist.”
“I can participate in the final decision-making for the candidates.”
“If you manage to stay here when there are only five people left, I will designate you to be part of it.”
After leaving these words, Qin Jin walked toward the depths of the base.
Having power means using it.
With a total of three positions, if Yu Sheng can truly hold on until the end, he will naturally lend a hand.
After all, being a trustworthy friend who knows each other well, he is more reliable than others.
In terms of strength, he was confident he could overpower others found by Chu Tianyi’s side, but with a newborn Star God facing other opposing forces, anything could happen. A trustworthy teammate is indispensable.
In front of a special building, Qin Jin knocked on the door, then pushed it open and entered.
As he stepped inside, a heavy sensation spread through his body, and an invisible pressure enveloped him.
This was a gravity training room about a hundred meters long and wide.
At a glance, Su Chaotang stood with his hands behind his back at the center, waiting.
“Teacher Su.”
Qin Jin greeted.
In the Great Wilderness, he was a respected Sacrificial Spirit, but on the Mining Star, he was still just a Newborn Realm Martial Arts Family, an apprentice eager to learn and improve.
Su Chaotang nodded, then said solemnly, “Qin Jin, today, we will conduct combat training.”
“The growth of a Martial Arts Family embodies the essence of martial arts, honing oneself not only through cultivation but also in battle.”
“Being good at combat is an innate talent.”
“Special environments like gravity enhancement might be something you’ll encounter in the future.”
“Today, right here, I will be your opponent. After an hour of combat, we’ll start learning combat techniques.”
Hearing his words, Qin Jin’s eyes lit up.
He didn’t lack combat experience; in the Great Wilderness, facing Fierce Beasts was real life-and-death battle.
However…
Engaging with humans, with Martial Arts Families, was something he had rarely done.
Having a Grandmaster offer guidance was undoubtedly the best opportunity for improvement.
Stepping forward, Qin Jin familiarized himself with the gravity inside the room, and said, “Teacher Su, before the combat, I have something to ask you.”
“What question?”
“What should I pay attention to while Condensing Intent?”
Su Chaotang’s hand clenched into a fist, rotating continually to warm up.
Upon hearing that, his movements suddenly paused, eyes on Qin Jin.
“Has your Spiritual Index reached the threshold? Are you about to begin Condensing Intent?”
“Not quite there yet, but I think it’s time to understand it.”
Qin Jin replied.
“Tsk.”
Su Chaotang clicked his tongue, a rare expression.
“Boss Chu really found a gem.”
He seemed to recall something, his tone somewhat nostalgic, eyes dimming for a moment.
Next.
He returned to normal, saying earnestly, “Condensation Realm is the second Great Realm for a Martial Arts Family.”
“Throughout history, the cultivation for every Martial Arts Family’s realm has been refined, from difficult to easy, from crude to detailed.”
“In ancient times, Condensing Intent required a lot of time, honing one’s will, and fortifying the spirit, often to no avail.”
“But in the modern era, contemporary Martial Arts Families seeking to Condense Divine Intent first need to practice Visualization Divine Martial Furnace!”
…
Mining Star.
Cyan Ridge District.
One of the five major survival zones.
At the top of the sky curtain encircling Cyan Ridge District, a large starship hovered under the protection of a defensive field.
Inside the starship, in the conference room.
Dozens of people sat at either end of the conference table.
Chu Tianyi was prominently seated at the left in the first position.
The table’s surface featured a super-large technological screen, displaying an overview dynamical diagram of the planet JK4176.
A glance revealed.
The five major survival zones were distributed across different parts of the planet, forming the five points of a pentagram in the dynamic image.
And at the center, thick and dense thunderclouds appeared.
Beside the conference table, someone waved a hand, clearing the thunderclouds from the screen.
As the clouds parted, revealing a bright sky, what emerged…
Was a Thunderbolt Divine Tree, its entirety constructed of lightning, radiating dazzling brilliance, connecting the heavens and earth!
It appeared as if it were the World Tree from mythology.
It lacked roots, bore no branches or leaves, suspended above the ground, standing tall amidst the heavens and earthly realm, while the thunder raging within the planets was its network!
Here, it was the birthplace of the Star God within JK4176 Mining Star.
This Thunderbolt Divine Tree.
Was the egg of the Yunsheng Star God!
