Chapter 624: 0389 "Myriad Waters Flow," Grandmaster Extreme Realm (Requesting monthly tickets and subscriptions)

September 1, 2233 in the Xia Realm.

All the contestants have been in the Zouyu Water Mansion for a year and a half.

Today is the end of the third trial.

Everyone looked at the Milky Way in the sky with complex emotions.

The voice of the Innate Water Spirit echoed in the void.

[A year has passed; during the stipulated period, a total of 81,000 Trialists succeeded in their enlightenment, and the current rankings are as follows:]

[First Place: Boke]

[Second Place: Osi]

[Third Place: Long Yue]

[Fourth Place: Li Jue]

[Fifth Place: Fang Bifan]

...

Among the eighty thousand who achieved enlightenment, the majority naturally came from the Sea Dominating Royal Family.

What surprised the Innate Water Spirit was the Mortal Clan from the Three Thousand Worlds.

From this trial onward, the performance of the Mortal Clan is already comparable to that of the Divine Race.

High bloodline talent does not mean good comprehension.

Osi, Long Yue, and Li Jue greatly satisfied the Water Spirit.

The ranks of these three were 18, 36, and 72, respectively, not as high as Lu Chenzhou.

But their final performance far exceeded expectations.

"They are all promising candidates; given enough time, stepping into the Ninth Step should not be a problem."

The Innate Water Spirit, having seen countless geniuses from the Great Wilderness, found these three to be top-tier across the ages.

"My master once said, ’As a god falls, all things thrive... perhaps precisely because of the extinction of the Divine that the aura of the Mortal Clan is so promising."

Its master, Zouyu, was considered an anomaly among the gods.

Despite possessing a noble innate divine body, it was somewhat out of place in the Divine Court.

Zouyu liked to play in the human world in various ways and make friends with mortal creatures.

Unlike some of the ancient elders in the Divine Court, it preferred to befriend those in the Three Thousand Worlds, hence leaving behind legends as the "Auspicious Beast."

It must be known that the gods of the Great Wilderness do not require faith, and the master need not help those mortals.

In sum, discovering these three mortal geniuses made it very satisfied with the final outcome of this first trial.

As for Lu Chenzhou, it dare not make wild conclusions and can only say it does not understand him.

...

At the same time.

On the square.

Lu Chenzhou opened his eyes, waking from the illusion.

In the dream, he seemed to transform into a colorful powerful Divine Tiger with a long tail, galloping across the Great Wilderness.

The vast Wu Water was his nest.

Countless water veins were his roads.

The Three Thousand Worlds were his territory.

He was Zouyu, a powerful being born as a god, as if carrying the will of the heavens, descended into the Wu Water, commanding the Wu Water Dao.

Once, he went down the Wu Water to the Great Wilderness’s Yellow Ocean and saw a gigantic beast that was part fish and part tentacle, with ten bodies.

This was the He Luo God, who governed the [Yellow Sea Dao], and a neighbor of Zouyu, ruling over some of the ocean principles of the Three Thousand Worlds.

He also witnessed Qi Heng, who mastered wind and thunder, bringing disasters to the mortals of the Great Wilderness, causing them great suffering.

The prototype of this Qiongqi is indeed a fierce god.

Born kind-hearted, Zouyu, though a divine being, was willing to befriend all living things, even plants and trees.

He negotiated with Qi Heng, but Qi Heng paid no heed.

The two then erupted in a heavenly and earth-shaking battle in the starry sky of the Great Wilderness.

Ultimately, Zouyu emerged slightly victorious.

The Divine Tiger, Lu Wu, descended, calming the divine battle.

In the Map of Ten Thousand Rivers, he experienced what seemed like millennia, witnessing many divine events.

Buzz! The Divine Artifact trembled, and myriad waters stirred; a seven-colored light descended from the sky, enveloping Lu Chenzhou’s head.

At the same time, a grand voice descended.

[Lu Chenzhou of the Xia Realm, comprehended the Seventh Rank secret technique "Myriad Waters Flow"]

Instantly, 920,000 gazes were astounded, looking at Lu Chenzhou.

"Another Seventh Rank secret technique? And comprehended after it all ended?"

"’Myriad Waters Flow’? I’ve never heard of this among the previously announced Seventh Level secret techniques."

"Though comprehending it now is too late, he’s ranked beyond eighty thousand; he’ll have to fight for the last 19,000 spots."

"Indeed... he has offended many experts from the Divine Race, and I estimate it will be hard for him to advance."

"He played it wrong; if he had quietly comprehended a Fifth or Sixth Rank secret technique, he wouldn’t have this problem."

For a moment, the Trialists from myriad clans pitied some, while others gloated.

Without a shared cultural background, it is hard to empathize with Lu Chenzhou.

...

In the Xia Realm, the populace lamented.

"Darn, what a pity, just a bit more and he could advance directly."

"This is a Seventh Rank secret technique; even if comprehended late, advancing could place him in the top hundred, an Earth Grade treasure... gone."

"There’s no choice; Lu Chenzhou’s luck is just too poor."

"I suspect he did it on purpose; practicing piles, acupoints, punching, and cultivating in such a precious place of enlightenment..."

...

In the Martial Arts Department, the Heavenly Kings understood.

"This lad indeed has the ability to comprehend a Seventh Rank secret technique."

"He wants to actively participate in the fights, perhaps to sharpen himself? That’s good, given his strength, barring surprises, he should definitely advance."

"A battle maniac."

The Northern Guardian King smiled: "Such audacity, entering the fray himself, it seems he has great confidence in his strength."

...

Above the heavens.

Over the past period, the spirit of the Water Mansion gazed at the increasingly illusory projection of the "Map of Ten Thousand Rivers", feeling suspicious.

"It shouldn’t be that way, the power of the water principle contained in this projection should last a hundred years... why is it almost depleted after just a year?"

Of course, this isn’t important, as long as the Divine Artifact itself is fine.

The notification of "Myriad Waters Flow" comprehension arrived, causing its expression to freeze, then it looked up to the sky with delight.

"Good, good, good! To actually be able to understand this secret technique, considering he exceeded a year, it’s reasonable."

Both are Seventh Rank secret techniques, "Myriad Waters Flow" is unlike those of Boke, Osi, etc., it’s quite special.

To some extent, "Myriad Waters Flow" is even more important than the Ninth Rank "Water God Song".

After the excitement, the Innate Water Spirit was also somewhat puzzled.

Judging from Lu Chenzhou’s casual demeanor this past year, it seems that understanding the Seventh Rank secret technique isn’t too difficult.

If he were to face the true body of the Divine Artifact directly, what else could he comprehend?

"It’s a pity his cultivation is too low, otherwise he could have tried... I hope he can advance to the third round of trials."

...

Finishing his Enlightenment, Lu Chenzhou stood up.

His whole being exuded a unity of heaven and man aura.

Facing him was like standing before a Grandmaster Expert, with an unfathomable feeling.

Within the Inner Scenery Land, beyond the Three Mountains and Five Mountains, in the extreme west, a majestic mountain towering to the skies solidified, swallowing the universe, it was Kunlun Mountain.

Thanks to the [Earth Mother’s Origin Milk], the speed of his True Gang generation accelerated, naturally boosting his condensation speed.

So far, he has condensed 16,000 True Gang Stones, only 2,000 short of the [Nine Mountains Mysterious Robe].

In an instant, a thick and ancient, mysteriously amazing five-colored vestment robe appeared around him, it was the peak-level Kunlun Jade Robe.

He performed inner vision, looking at the Martial Arts Tree, reviewing the past year’s gains.

"The "Lu Wu Demon Cleansing Scripture" advanced to the Ninth Layer, Qi-Blood at 2510 points, already at the limit."

His entire body was brimming with Qi-Blood, stagnated, the Inner Heaven and Earth could no longer sustain more Qi-Blood, unless he breaks through the shackles.

Above the sky, 376 acupoint stars were arrayed like the dipper, his Pile Skill was just 14 acupoints shy of full completion.

"Spiritual power at 1300 Prajna, comparable to Heart Cultivation at the end of the Third Realm."

"The "Life and Death Talisman" Sixth Layer, Void-breaking Sword Qi’s power further enhanced."

"The "Cloud Ascending Ladder" achieved Great Success, maintaining long periods of suspension is not an issue."

"Mastered "Phoenix Call to the Nine Heavens", the second move [Green Phoenix Holding Branch] practiced successfully."

"..."

Others have spent a year here in Enlightenment.

Lu Chenzhou is different; he has spent the year truly cultivating.

For him, the greatest gain from this Enlightenment may not necessarily be the Seventh Rank secret technique "Myriad Waters Flow".

This is a Divine Secret Technique, he is a Martial Artist, and lacks Divine Race bloodline, he might not be able to use it.

His greatest gain is Brother Tree!

The Martial Arts Tree in his mind has grown from over four hundred zhang a year and a half ago to now nine hundred zhang.

Moreover, it is still growing slowly at a pace visible to the naked eye.

This is why Lu Chenzhou intentionally stayed at the Zouyu Water Mansion.

This place is greatly beneficial for the Dao Tree Transformation.

In just one year, it expanded by five hundred zhang.

Initially, the Martial Arts Tree grew crazily, until recently, the growth slowed, likely reaching saturation.

He estimates that the Dao Yun contained in the Ten Thousand Rivers projection is nearly depleted.

He has a strong premonition that if the Martial Arts Tree can break through a thousand zhang, it might undergo another transformation.

As for comprehending the secret technique? He had a strong feeling in the first month that he could comprehend "Myriad Waters Flow".

But to continue remaining in the Water Mansion to accelerate the Martial Arts Tree’s maturation, he halted!

He asked the Sword Spirit to wake him up from the illusion, interrupting the comprehension.

Then, he kept repeating this cycle.

He treated the Water Mansion as his practice room, cultivating and living normally, totally indifferent to other people’s odd gazes.

If he missed this opportunity, wanting the Martial Arts Tree to transform may take several more years.

Additionally, his World Dao level has also grown significantly while absorbing the Water Dao Essence contained in the Ten Thousand Rivers Projection.

Currently, the Daoist rules opened by Martial Artists have Six Realms, namely Seeking Dao, Practicing Dao, Peeping Dao, Entering Dao, Practicing Dao, Stopping.

He feels he is not far from the Second Realm [Seeking Dao].

From this period of Enlightenment, Lu Chenzhou has gained insight.

The World Dao encompasses Yin Yang Five Elements, all things in the world.

To improve World Dao Essence, he doesn’t necessarily need to focus on the abstract macro "World", he can focus on the concrete micro things.

Grass, wood, bamboo, stone, gold, wood, water, fire, fish gliding in shallow depth, eagles soaring high... all phenomena and things in the human world form the World.

The World is the contributing Dao.

...

Buzz buzz buzz—The Divine Palace trembled, with the Innate Water Spirit looking at the 920,000 Trialists.

[You have not succeeded in Enlightenment within the designated time limit, therefore this round only offers ordinary rewards.

Of course, the Water Mansion’s test is comprehensive; a temporary setback doesn’t represent much, nor can it determine your future achievements.

For those prepared for the death’s awareness, I will send you into the "Ultimate Chaos Battle Arena" for the final chaotic battle.

In the Ultimate Chaos Battle Arena, you can mark any one or multiple enemies for "Life and Death Battle" or "High and Low Battle".

With the Life and Death Battle Mark, only by deciding life and death can you leave.

With the High and Low Battle Mark, simply deciding victory or defeat allows you to exit.]
