Chapter 327: Instantaneous Travel of Thirty Li, A Powerful Trait!



November 25, 2024

Inside the room.

Looking at the plus sign on the panel, Jiang Ning no longer had any hesitation in his heart.

As his thoughts stirred,

In an instant,

The Essence Energy points on the panel rapidly decreased, and in the blink of an eye, they froze.

【Essence Energy】: 1793.67

At the same time,

A rushing sound of water suddenly filled Jiang Ning's ears.

He saw endless azure waves engulfing him.

Looking around, all he could see was the deep blue water.

It was the same in all directions.

He also felt as if he had become a part of this water, able to see only water and nothing else, not even himself.

At this moment,

He felt that he had completely merged with the water, becoming one with it.

In this boundless world of water, he didn't know how long he had drifted.

It might have been an instant, or perhaps an eternity.

But no matter how long it had been, no matter how far he had drifted, the scene remained unchanged.

Until one moment,

Suddenly, a flash of insight came to him, and a thought crossed his mind.

The next moment,

He snapped back to his senses, and a hint of vicissitude flashed in his eyes, then disappeared.

【Essence Energy】: 1793.67

【Skills】: Water Control (7 times of breaking limits 8000/8000) (Traits: Underwater Breathing, Advanced Water Control Technique, Water Spirit Affinity, Cloud Manipulation and Rainmaking, Water Spirit Body, Grand Elemental Water Escape)



"Grand Elemental Water Escape?"

Seeing the newly added trait in the Water Control column on the panel, Jiang Ning's eyes widened in surprise.

Then he looked up.

【Grand Elemental Water Escape】: Innate Divinity.

The annotation was only six words, but Jiang Ning stared at it for several breaths.

"Grand Elemental Water Escape?" he muttered.

Then he looked out the window.

After that,

He closed the panel and walked out of the room.

Pushing open the door,

He saw a ray of dawn painting the eastern horizon with a crimson hue.

"Looks like it's going to be a nice day!"

A smile appeared on his face.

Arriving at the lakeside,

After several days of cooling temperatures and snowfall, the lake had frozen over, and a thick layer of snow covered the ice.

Jiang Ning shattered the ice and stepped into the lake.

The moment he entered the water, he felt an instant connection with it.

It seemed that with just a thought, he could merge completely with the lake, becoming one with it.

At that moment, he recalled the sensation he had experienced when breaking through his limits.

Although his memory was a bit hazy, he hadn't forgotten much.

In that endless world of water, he had completely merged with it, and he didn't know how many years he had drifted before waking up.

The next moment,

With a thought, his figure suddenly vanished within the water, fully blending into the lake.

Now, relying on his perception in the water, he could see everything within a three-li radius, but he couldn't see his own reflection.

Underwater,

He raised his hand, but still couldn't see it.

Was this what it meant to completely merge with water?

He was stunned by this perfect state of fusion.

This flawless state of unity left him thinking that this was an almost invincible life-saving technique.

In this state of complete fusion with water, not only would it be impossible to kill him, but even finding him would be out of the question.

This divine skill left him in awe.

"No wonder it's an Innate Divinity!" he exclaimed in his heart.

Then, he felt a sudden emptiness within, and his body staggered, falling out of the state of merging with the lake.

His face turned deathly pale, and his whole body felt weak and hollow.

"The consumption is so huge?!"

Jiang Ning was incredulous.

He felt that he had only been in the water for a few breaths, but now he felt completely drained.

His inner breath was exhausted, his qi and blood power depleted, his mental energy was weak, and his body was powerless.

This was the lowest point he had ever felt.

After several breaths, with the constant nourishment of the lake water, he finally felt some relief.

"The consumption is truly immense!" He clenched his fist, feeling the emptiness within, and sighed inwardly again.

Then, he floated quietly in the lake, feeling the nourishment of the lake water entering his body like a gentle rain, replenishing his strength, inner breath, and qi and blood.

After a long time,

Jiang Ning finally felt his vitality restored, and his strength replenished.

【Grand Elemental Water Escape】: Innate Divinity.

He glanced at the panel's description once more, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and then he closed the panel.

The next moment,

Jiang Ning unleashed his full mental power, and with his control over the water, he had an omniscient perspective, observing his every move.

With his undivided attention, he could see even the slightest movement.

Even the ripples caused by a gentle touch on the water's surface were clearly visible to him.

At this moment,

With a thought, his figure suddenly vanished from his own observation.

In the previous moment, he could still see himself.

But in the next instant, he suddenly vanished into thin air, as if disappearing from the lake without a trace.

His existence just now seemed like an illusion, one that didn't affect the physical form.

Now, with his body's disappearance, the lake water didn't show any signs of disturbance.

There was no sign of the water rushing in to fill the void left by his sudden disappearance.

At this moment, relying on his control over the water, he couldn't feel his own existence at all.

It was as if he had completely vanished from this world.

However, based on his own sensations, he could clearly perceive that he still existed and was within the lake water.

In the next instant, his heart stirred again.

His figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in the lake water.

Still, there was no ripple, as if he had always been in the lake.

"This is incredible!" He couldn't help but marvel as he witnessed his own disappearance and reappearance.

Normally, his body's volume would displace the water, causing it to spread in all directions.

So, when his figure vanished, an adult's volume disappearing in the water would create a vacuum, causing the water to rush in and create a disturbance.

But this time was different.

Whether it was his sudden disappearance or sudden appearance, there was no change at all.

This alone was enough to demonstrate the profoundness of the Grand Elemental Water Escape Technique, which seemed to defy the rules of nature.

Then, he sensed his physical condition.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

After trying for less than two breaths, he found his body's energy rapidly depleting.

Whether it was his mental energy, spirit, qi and blood, or inner breath, all aspects were significantly drained.

This also indicated that the consumption of using this innate divinity was immense, and in his current state, he couldn't use it for an extended period.

He rested for a while.

Nourished by the lake water, Jiang Ning quickly recovered to his peak condition.

"The Grand Elemental Water Escape, this innate divinity should be a concealment technique!" Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

Then, his heart stirred.

His figure disappeared from his perception, completely merging with the lake water.

After that, he moved.

In an instant, everything within his perception became blurred, as if he were on a high-speed train, looking at the scenery outside the window, everything was a blur.

In just a moment, he didn't know how far he had traveled or where he had arrived.

The next moment, he fell out of this special state and appeared in the lake water.

At this moment, he felt incredibly weak, his body drained of strength, his spirit, qi, and blood nearly depleted, and his inner breath exhausted.

"The consumption is truly immense!" Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile wryly.

He quietly felt the nourishment of the lake water, and his body quickly recovered in the nurturing environment.

At the same time, he constantly observed his surroundings.

But the scenery at the bottom of the lake was too similar, and he had no idea if he had reached his destination.

"I can only wait for my condition to recover and then locate myself on the lake surface!"

He patiently waited for his body to recover.

After a long while, he felt his spirit, qi, and blood replenished, and his strength restored.

His condition had completely recovered.

Boom!

The thick layer of ice suddenly cracked open, and the snow was thrown up two to three zhang high.

Amidst the explosion of ice and snow, a figure shot out.

This person was Jiang Ning.

After his condition recovered, he headed straight up.

He used the Grand Elemental Water Escape, covering an unknown distance.

Underwater, he couldn't judge the distance or find his direction for a while.

But when he reached the ice layer, it was different.

He looked up at the distant dawn and quickly located his home.

Boom!

Suddenly, the ice beneath his feet exploded, and the ice layer collapsed downward.

Using this reaction force, Jiang Ning's body shot into the sky, leaping over ten zhang.

In midair, he felt his upward momentum slow, and his body started to fall.

The inner breath in his dantian suddenly burst forth.

Following his body's meridians, it surged towards the Yin Heel Vessel, Yang Heel Vessel, Yin Linking Vessel, Yang Linking Vessel, and the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian, Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, and Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian.

At the same time, countless meridians in his legs were filled with inner breath.

Boom!

He stomped down in midair.

White mist gathered under his foot, and a visible wave of energy rippled out from his punch. This step caused his body to pause in midair, and he surged forward.

Feeling the whistling wind in his ears, Jiang Ning's face lit up with joy.

One step covered over ten zhang.

He stomped down again.

Boom!

The air beneath his foot exploded again, and a circle of energy rippled out.

Using this support, he surged forward once more.

With each step, a surge of energy erupted beneath his feet. The powerful recoil made each footfall feel like treading on solid ground, propelling his body forward in mid-air.

At this moment, Jiang Ning experienced true freedom, soaring like a bird in flight. His heart was filled with exhilaration.

Flight—what a liberating feeling!

Through the explosive growth of his Inner Breath, he had finally achieved this feat on this very day.

This method of traversing the void required no technique; it was all about raw strength.

"Might makes right," as the saying goes, and this was a perfect embodiment of that principle as he soared through the air.

As his proficiency increased, Jiang Ning's speed in the air also grew.

However, after a dozen or so breaths, he felt that the total Inner Breath in his Dantian had decreased by more than half.

"I see it!" he exclaimed.

A smile appeared on his face.

From his elevated position, with his powerful vision, he could now see his home.

Then, in mid-air, he turned back to look at where he had just broken through the ice.

He quickly located the spot where he had emerged.

Comparing the two, he was instantly struck with awe.

The distance between where he had broken through the ice and the Chaos Beach near his mansion was approximately thirty li, according to his estimation.

That was about fifteen kilometers.

What did this mean? He still remembered that in his previous life, it took him almost half an hour to drive the less than twenty kilometers from the city to his hometown in the county.

In other words, with this Grand Elemental Water Escape technique, an innate divine ability, he had just covered a distance that took him half an hour to drive in his previous life.

"Hiss—"

Changing his perspective and making a comparison, he suddenly inhaled sharply in mid-air.

It was at this moment that he truly felt the terror of the Grand Elemental Water Escape, an innate divine ability.

This method was akin to a myth.

It completely surpassed his understanding.

Amidst his awe, he began to descend from the air, step by step.

A moment later, he slowly landed on the ice, standing in place.

Originally, he had planned to return home to measure the distance he had covered with the Water Escape technique.

But now, with his elevated position, he already knew how far he had traveled.

In an instant, he had crossed thirty li.

With his goal achieved, returning home seemed less significant.

"No!" He shook his head.

"I haven't even told Big Brother and Sister-in-Law that I'm going out. And Old Turtle, who has lived for over two hundred years, must have extensive knowledge about Luoshui Lake. I must take him with me to search for treasures in Luoshui!"

After making up his mind, he stomped on the ice, shattering it, and dove into the lake.

With the extraordinary Water Control technique, his speed in the water was not much slower than on land.

Moreover, his previous act of walking on air had consumed most of his Inner Breath, and now he needed to enter the water to accelerate his recovery.

Breaking the ice and entering the water, he unleashed his Mental Energy, and his control over the water area suddenly expanded.

Within a five-li radius, everything was under his command.

"As expected, the improvement in Water Control enhances my Mental Energy field in the water. The more I break through in this skill, the larger the water area my Mental Energy field can cover."

Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he opened his personal panel again.

[Essence Energy]: 1793.67

[Skills]: Firewood Chopping Blade Technique+ (6th Limit Break 7000/7000) (Characteristics: Broad Understanding, Blade Like Thunder, Blade Handling Like a God, Man and Blade As One, Innate Blade Bone)



Water Control (7th Limit Break 8000/8000) (Characteristics: Underwater Breathing, Advanced Water Control Technique, Water Spirit Affinity, Cloud Manipulation and Rainmaking, Water Spirit Body, Grand Water Escape Technique)



Currently, only the Firewood Chopping Blade Technique on the panel could meet the requirements for Limit Breaking.

Jiang Ning had originally planned to use the remaining Essence Energy points to break the limit of the Firewood Chopping Blade Technique, thereby enhancing its combat capabilities.

But now, after experiencing the profoundness of the Grand Elemental Water Escape, he changed his mind.

The Water Control skill already had 8,000 experience points, meeting the requirements for the 8th Limit Break.

What he lacked now was only Essence Energy points.

However, this gap was not significant.

According to his calculations, the 8th Limit Break of Water Control would require 2,000 Essence Energy points.

And he already had nearly 1,800 Essence Energy points.

With a gap of just over 200 points, he could reach the target by the next day.

Breaking the limit of Water Control would undoubtedly increase his efficiency in searching for Heaven-Bestowed Treasures in the water.

Just like how he could now control a five-li radius of water.

But yesterday, he could only control a three-li radius.

The additional two li radius significantly increased his search efficiency.

According to area calculations, it was approximately a 2.8-fold increase in the area under his control.

After a quick calculation, he found that his efficiency had increased by more than double.

Therefore, for him at this moment, improving Water Control was undoubtedly the most valuable choice.

As for enhancing his strength, he was not in a hurry.

After making a firm decision, he closed his personal panel.
