Chapter 1768: Chapter 10: Giant Sun Reborn, Master and Disciple Join Forces to Break Through Taixu! (Part 1)
Gray gas wanders through the entire cosmic space, ever-changing. At times, it drifts like silk threads before one’s eyes; at other times, it rushes majestically like mighty rivers across planets.
The planet is blood-red, expanding and contracting as if it is breathing.
Between breaths, the gray mist races to the land beneath Zhao Xing’s feet.
The land begins to rhythmically pulse and expand.
The checkpoint left by Zuo Qiyu supposedly offers a slim hope of crossing, but it is extremely challenging.
The checkpoint itself is very abstract!
Unsure where to break through, where to exit, and what needs to be accomplished.
It’s like a painter creating art when suddenly heaven descends with a bucket of paint that spills across the canvas in chaos.
And you’re told it’s a masterpiece; if you comprehend it, you’ll become a top-tier artist.
"Stay calm, observe carefully."
Zhao Xing repeatedly tells himself.
Yet he calms down without self-suggestion.
Because the excitement of finding the checkpoint is soon overshadowed by a high difficulty-driven despair, with even thoughts of giving up emerging quickly.
"Might as well give up, it’s wasted too much of my effort... Wait, how can I think like this?!"
Zhao Xing is startled, then realizes that a wisp of gray mist has actually penetrated his Giant Sun avatar.
"Shush-shush~"
The Giant Sun avatar swiftly moves, avoiding the invasion of the gray mist.
Amidst the movement, Zhao Xing feels that not only has he failed to dodge, but his Dao heart is tainted with more dust, with increasingly severe thoughts of despondency.
Within three infinite times, he halts his actions, fully immersed in the gray fog.
The mist is warm, like a soft goose-down quilt, covering the Giant Sun avatar.
The Giant Sun avatar lies on the ground; Zhao Xing himself also lies down on the reef.
All external avatars seem to be affected by this emotion.
Even the avatar far away on Fengdu Boundary Star within the Beihai Star System, and the Jia Chen Fourteen Passes, are affected.
"... Since the Annihilation Star Corridor, Great Zhou has adjusted its expansion strategy, I dispatched an avatar from Lord Qianhua to guard this place, temporarily taking on new pioneering affairs, what’s wrong with you?" Liu Tianning’s avatar is conversing with Zhao Xing when suddenly Zhao Xing lays down.
"Is something the matter?" Liu Tianning leans forward to ask.
However, Zhao Xing does not respond, his body increasingly relaxed.
His relaxation becomes so profound that even this avatar seems unable to maintain, with ’meridians’ on his arm dissipating automatically, a sign of the grassman avatar’s disintegration.
"Zhao Xing!" Liu Tianning immediately grips Zhao Xing’s arm, his willow twig unraveling like silk-peeling from a cocoon, then rotating and spreading across Zhao Xing’s arm.
"Sealing Spirit Locking Intent! Cocoon rebirth!"
Liu Tianning simultaneously uses two Divine Skills, his body rippling for a moment, finally stabilizing Zhao Xing’s body.
Yet his arm is now linked with Zhao Xing’s, like conjoined twins.
"Teacher, I’m so tired..." Zhao Xing says with difficulty.
"What happened to you!" Liu Tianning’s expression is incredibly serious; he is already at Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm, possessing Spiritual Great Divine Power, and even Lord Qianhua praises his prowess in Grassman Skill, yet still perplexed by what has befallen Zhao Xing’s Giant Sun avatar.
"Buzz~"
Liu Tianning exerts maximum effort in spellcasting, mana stirring between the two.
Upon reaching the Domain Realm, spiritual power combines with spells to birth mana, possessing an ability to transform decay into wonder.
And Zhao Xing, well-versed in Giant Sun Grass Man Skill, has long since shared it with Liu Tianning without reservation.
So he too knows the Giant Sun Grass Man Skill and is intimately familiar with the structure of the Giant Sun Grassman.
...
"Zhao Xing~ Zhao Xing~"
"Wake up~"
By the Boundary River, Zhao Xing’s true self opens his eyes again, suddenly experiencing two perspectives.
One perspective is from the Giant Sun avatar navigating through Taichu City.
The other perspective appearing within a gloriously majestic temple, with Liu Tianning watching him with a frown.
It is indeed Liu Tianning calling his name.
"Teacher? You, where am I..." Zhao Xing is somewhat puzzled.
"This is my Great Divine Power[Spirit Temple], which can pull your consciousness into a unified spiritual space and sense everything happening to you in real-time." Liu Tianning explains, then asks, "I see your true self sitting by a river, while one avatar is seemingly within the mist, what’s happened?"
"Great Divine Power, Spirit Temple?" Zhao Xing is slightly shocked, "Teacher, what level have you reached to influence me over such a distance through an avatar?"
"It’s perfected." Liu Tianning responds, "Truly strange, I can see your true self’s perspective, but the avatar remains unclear, only surrounded by gray mist, seemingly blocked by some force. Are you in the Primordial Realm? Are you safe?"
Spiritual Great Divine Power perfected? No wonder!
The Great Divine Power contained by his Giant Sun avatar is Rice Grain Mixed Heaven Technique and Five-Finger Mountain, while Liu Tianning’s is Spirit Temple, and precisely due to their common root and familiarity, the connection is established quickly.
Zhao Xing quickly realizes what’s transpired, then reassures: "Teacher, I’m alright. I’m participating in a trial within the Primordial Realm; if successful, I will learn a rare Grassman Skill."
"However, the test set by the predecessor is exceedingly demanding."
Upon hearing this, Liu Tianning breathes a sigh of relief: "Ah, that’s how it is, I thought you were caught in some sinister plot, glad you’re fine."
"The challenge is extremely difficult; I fear I’m unable to overcome it." Zhao Xing sighs.
Up till now, he remains affected by the Taixu Illusion Realm, incapable of uplifting his spirit.
