Chapter 1582: Chapter 47: New Trait, Whale Swallowing!
The night is cold.
Jiang Ning stands in the backyard, his eyes bright and clearly visible in the darkness.
[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill+ (Perfection 10000/10000)
Looking at his panel, he takes a deep breath, then with a thought in his mind.
The Source Energy Points on the panel rapidly jump, consuming ten thousand points in an instant.
Buzz——
A deep whale call sounds in his body.
The sound is ancient and powerful.
This sound comes from the depths of his Dantian, from his skeletal muscles, vibrating simultaneously from every inch of his Qi-Blood.
It feels as if a long-slumbering ancient giant whale awakened within him at this moment.
The next moment.
The surrounding air suddenly stagnates, then tumbles back wildly.
Dust and stones in the courtyard rise up, and a continuous "crack" sound comes from the bowing Qingzhu.
Crushed leaves and dust mix together, converging toward him.
At this moment, he becomes the center of the whirlwind, as if he has become the center of this world.
He feels the burst of suction within him, causing the remaining moisture, primordial energy, thin spiritual energy, and even the night chill in the courtyard to converge toward him as if rivers flowing into the sea.
Bang——
There are rumblings inside his body.
His body is stretching, his pores dilating.
Skin, muscles, bones, and organs are all being washed and tempered by a powerful force.
He can clearly feel his physique strengthening at a slow yet steady pace.
The swallowing ability from his abdomen grows stronger, seeming capable of containing mountains and seas.
A moment later.
He opens his eyes.
[Skill]: Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill (One Break Limit 38/20000) (Attribute: Whale Swallowing (Deep Purple))
[Whale Swallowing (Deep Purple)]: Absorb all things, transform into one’s own use.
"Absorb all things, transform into one’s own use!"
Looking at the eight characters on the panel, his eyes show a moment of contemplation.
Then his gaze falls on the iron box in front of him.
After a whole afternoon and a night, five grids within the nine-grid iron box are now empty.
Less than half of the resources remain now.
Looking at one of the grids, he raises his hand, grasping a blue stone as hard as a brick in his hand.
This is Spirit Crystal Jade.
Spirit Crystal Jade, originally Spirit Crystals nurtured within a Spirit Crystal Ore Vein.
In the Ancient Era, such ore veins were spread all over the world, across the four corners of the earth.
With changes to the world’s environment, these Spirit Crystal Ore Veins degenerated, and the existence of Spirit Crystals changed, devolving into a form of jade.
And this jade is the Spirit Crystal Jade he bought.
A top-grade Spirit Crystal Jade.
In the Ancient Era, it was the finest Spirit Crystal mined from a Spirit Crystal Ore Vein.
It was the most important cultivation resource in the Immortal Dao system.
Nowadays, after degeneration, it no longer holds the same function as back then, but its price has also plummeted.
Now, it’s not expensive for him.
Having lost its active ability, the solidified Spirit Crystal Jade is practically less valuable to the average Martial Artist than its actual worth.
Yet during the day, Jiang Ning saw it and bought some over.
Because he believes the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill’s Whale Swallowing ability can let him absorb the energy deposited within the Spirit Crystal Jade.
He closes his five fingers, clasping the semi-transparent, cool-to-the-touch Spirit Crystal Jade in his palm.
With a slight thought, the newly acquired [Whale Swallowing]attribute activates spontaneously.
A strong suction explodes from his palm.
In an instant, he feels a fine stream, as thin as a cow’s hair, burst out from the Spirit Crystal Jade in his hand, with countless threads flowing into his body through the pores in his palm.
Wherever these threads of fine streams pass through, he immediately feels the activity of his cells rise, and his muscles and bones become more resilient.
In just a brief moment, the Spirit Crystal Jade dulls at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In an instant, the blue-green color vanishes, leaving behind only an old gray.
He can also feel that the Spirit Crystal Jade in his hand has completely turned into ordinary stone, with no specialness left.
"Let’s try it again!" He speaks to himself silently.
Then grabs another piece of Spirit Crystal Jade and directly throws it into his mouth.
Compared to the Yang Flame Iron he ate during the day, Spirit Crystal Jade is undoubtedly more straightforward.
With two crunching sounds, the Spirit Crystal Jade is crushed into fragments and then swallowed into his abdomen in one gulp.
The next moment.
The suction in his abdomen bursts out.
In just the space of a breath, the stony matter has vanished from his abdomen, as if the Spirit Crystal Jade he swallowed earlier left no trace of its existence.
A burst of energy erupts within him, replenishing the consumption of his previous practice.
"Indeed, swallowing it allows the Whale Swallowing attribute to exert a greater effect!"
Feeling the recent changes within him, he nods subtly to himself.
Then he picks up piece after piece of Spirit Crystal Jade, continuously throwing them into his mouth, chewing and swallowing.
A moment later.
All the Spirit Crystals in the iron box have entered his stomach.
At this moment, he feels the previous consumption of his body has been replenished, and his physical state has returned to its peak.
His body is filled and overflowing with Essence Qi.
If his pores hadn’t been sealed, it surely would have seeped out through the pores.
Having briefly explored, he has gained a deeper understanding of the Whale Swallowing attribute.
The Whale Swallowing attribute can be viewed as an evolved version of the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill’s original swallowing ability.
Possessing this attribute enhances his initial ability to "devour external objects and refine them for personal use."
This enhancement is a comprehensive upgrade of the devouring speed and absorption efficiency.
The variety of things to devour has also increased.
Primordial energy, metal ores... solidified spiritual substance within Spirit Jade; all can be absorbed and transformed.
Then, he re-enters into cultivation.
Once the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill is activated, he can feel the vigor of this power, far exceeding the strength before the breakthrough.
He immediately halts his cultivation.
Opens his eyes, clenches his fist.
Crackling——
