NOVEL NEXT Chapter 128: Comprehension
"This burden is like an insect struggling in the swamp; how could it be called a Kun?"
After devouring countless unknown substances, his body grew heavier and heavier, but his initial sense of joy had vanished completely, replaced by increasing dissatisfaction with the surrounding environment and his current state.
"What I long for is endless freedom, to roam freely in the void."
"Why can't I see a direction, why do I only have a mouth?"
"Where are my eyes? Where are my wings?"
As the sense of shackles became increasingly heavier, Lin Yuan couldn't help but scream in his heart.
"Ah~! Release these bindings! Transform into wings!" Lin Yuan roared in his heart.
The shadow of his dark soul suddenly separated into fish fins shaped like scimitars on either side.
"Vision, I want vision; nothing can blind my eyes! Eyes, transform!"
Ah!
A resounding cry echoed throughout the heavens in the divine diagram.
It was seen that the large shadow transformed by Lin Yuan was like a blue whale lurking deep in the sea. Above its head, three dense rows of compound eyes clearly saw everything around.
At this moment, the sunlight was no longer hazy but the energy from which his body grew.
Like the ruler of the ocean, Lin Yuan gently swung his fins, his body suddenly cutting through countless air currents, actually leaping towards the clouds.
At the same time, he opened his mouth wide again and began to devour. The soul that had undergone a rebirth surged once more, growing from ten feet to one hundred feet, then two hundred feet.
"Higher, higher. I want more energy, I want to devour that golden sun!"
As Lin Yuan swung his fins, his body flew higher and higher.
Crack!
At some unknown time, the outside suddenly rang with the sound of porcelain breaking.
"Hmm?"
Outside, Nan Yan looked at the spirit diagram in shock. It was seen that, at some unknown point, the black Kunpeng had already silently disappeared from the spirit diagram, and a crack gradually appeared in the scroll, splitting the spirit diagram in two.
"Spirit diagram, was it destroyed?"
Nan Yan stared in a daze at this scene, unable to believe her eyes at all. The spirit diagram being destroyed meant the only reason was that the constructed environment was no longer suitable for the existence of the True Spirit and could not preserve the True Spirit.
"Lin Junior Brother, not awake yet?"
Nan Yan immediately called Lin Yuan back to consciousness.
"Senior Sister, what happened?" His soul had just returned, and Lin Yuan's mind was still immersed in endless devouring.
He actually wanted to continue expanding upwards and then devour that sun as well.
Unexpectedly, as he flew higher and grew larger, after finally breaking through a barrier, it was as if he had shattered a mirrored world, the entire illusion disappeared completely, and his soul had already returned to his body.
"Lin Junior Brother." Nan Yan shook her head and smiled bitterly, "For some reason, the world constructed by the spirit diagram seems to have been destroyed by something, or it might have had problems operating. It caused the imbalance in the spirit diagram structure and destroyed it."
Although she was also at the peak of spirit essence, with one foot stepping into divine essence, she couldn't understand the reason within the spirit diagram.
"It seems that my soul devoured too much and almost consumed the spirit diagram world clean." Lin Yuan thought to himself with a tinge of guilt.
Luckily, Nan Yan didn't see the reason, so there was no need for much explanation.
"By the way, Lin Junior Brother, I saw earlier in the spirit diagram you seemed to have some realization. Does this spirit diagram incident have any impact on you?" Nan Yan steadied her mind and, with some concern, immediately asked Lin Yuan about his insights from the spirit diagram.
"Earlier in the spirit diagram, I seemed to have transformed into the initial form of the Kunpeng, a Kun fish." Lin Yuan thought for a moment, concealing a bit of the truth.
"Indeed! It seems that Lin Junior Brother, you have already entered the practice of Kunpeng Sun Swallowing Technique." Nan Yan nodded slightly and guided, "In the world constructed by the spirit diagram, a Kun fish can gradually grow strong by absorbing small amounts of energy."
"Starting the comprehension of Kunpeng Sun Swallowing Technique, the transformed Kun fish should be about three feet." Nan Yan thought for a moment and confidently said, "Given your solid foundation, it should be around five feet. With time, it will gradually transform and grow stronger. Once it reaches about one zhang, it can enter the second layer."
"One zhang can enter the second layer?"
Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he asked, "Then, Senior Sister, may I boldly ask, what size have you condensed your Kun fish now?"
Nan Yan smiled confidently, "Already thirty zhang in size! Entered the third layer!"
"How is this differentiated?" Lin Yuan's heart moved.
"One zhang breaks through one layer, over ten zhang is the third layer, and so on; five layers is the highest level, which is a thousand zhang in size." Nan Yan sighed, "Even practicing to the highest fifth layer, it's unknown what level it is."
Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.
Thirty zhang is the third layer? Knowing that when he broke through the spirit diagram, the size was simply covering the sky and the sun.
A thousand zhang is the highest level.
At that time, a thousand zhang was but the size of his eyelids.
"Perhaps my understanding of Kunpeng is different from theirs!"
Lin Yuan's thoughts quickly connected the dots.
The True Spirit of this world perhaps had a level too low.
The Kunpeng they speak of might just be a carp in the river. The Kunpeng I speak of, however, is the overlord of the deep sea, the largest creature of my past life, the blue whale.
Realizing this qualitative difference, Lin Yuan did not ask further. Now he had already pierced through the spirit diagram; the Nine Chapters had spawned the Kunpeng Sun Swallowing Technique.
In the divine diagram, he might be immeasurably huge; but in reality, he still needs to cultivate step by step. Yet the only difference is, the True Spirit he condensed is the true Kunpeng, the highest Kunpeng in all realms.
"Junior Brother, since you have comprehended the Kunpeng Sun Swallowing Technique, go back and practice diligently." Nan Yan looked at the spirit diagram on the table, the cracks still expanding, and lamented silently, "The spirit diagram, wait until there's time to return to the sect and ask the elders for another one."
"But for now, you can't experience the higher levels of the Kunpeng Sun Swallowing Technique."
"No worries, this time is just right for me to digest the cultivation techniques I've learned."
Lin Yuan nodded, continuing to seek guidance from Nan Yan on the cultivation details of the Sun Swallowing Technique.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Central Hall.
A delicate woman was tearfully gazing at the two guards at the entrance, filled with grief.
"Boohoo, please, let me in, won't you? I really just want Meng Zhenchuan to preside over justice for us!" The woman sat at the bottommost steps, her eyes full of bloodshot, tears uncontrollably overflowing.
And at the hall's front, two guarding martial artists looked on impatiently: "Get lost, you lowly wench! What's this garbage? Does Meng Zhenchuan have time to see you?"
Seeing this, the woman's shoulders trembled even more violently, her falling tears could not solve anything.
Crying endlessly, and still nobody paying attention, she finally gazed helplessly into the depths of the hall, wishing for a ray of hope to appear.
"Meng Zhenchuan, Meng Zhenchuan, just show up once, just once!"
The woman seemed to cry until she ran out of breath, muttering dumbly.
