70: Chapter 70 Shrinking a Thousand Mountains, Summoning Wind and Rain

Yin Demons are born from within the mountains, so they inherently possess the natural principles of the mountain's operation.

Yu Xiu wanting to use the human emperor cauldron to refine the demon bodies and the human emperor banner to refine the demon souls was, in reality, primarily for these natural principles and laws of operation.

These could increase his Dao cultivation.

The overcast rain in the sky continued unabated, but the hole that had been torn in the dark clouds had already recovered as before, and no sunlight fell upon Yu Xiu any longer.

When putting away the human emperor cauldron and the human emperor banner, Yu Xiu opened the Storage Pouch that Yuan Tiankuo had given him for the first time.

"Hmm?"

"Is this space?"

The inspiration and flashes of insight in his mind became instantly active. He looked at the Storage Pouch in his hand, and from time to time, he would draw his finger downwards through the air before him.

"Space..."

"I think... I can feel it!"

He had a sudden realization, and his finger, which was drawing downwards, twitched slightly.

Silently and soundlessly, where his finger had traced, a pitch-black crack split open in the Void Realm before him.

It was as if an unfathomable, mighty power had surged from between heaven and earth, piercing through the Void Realm and shattering it.

"This Dao is also within the primordial origin!"

"Qian is Heaven, Kun is Earth; together they are Qiankun!"

"So, the 'Universe in the Sleeve' from the myths and legends of my previous life came from this?"

"What about the 'Buddha Kingdom in the Palm'?"

"And the 'Sun and Moon in a Pot'?"

The flashes of insight in Yu Xiu's mind surged more and more intensely, causing him to constantly generate all kinds of inspiration.

It was not until a long time had passed that he suddenly reached out and swept his sleeve across. Several large trees, over two zhang tall, vanished into thin air before him.

However, Yu Xiu shook his head. "This still cannot be considered the 'Universe in the Sleeve'."

At most, it is just an oversized Storage Pouch.

It just has a bit more capability for taking things in than a Storage Pouch.

"So, compared to the Ancestor of Earth Immortals from the myths and legends, I am still inferior!"

Yu Xiu once again fell into a state of realization.

It was not that he absolutely had to compare himself to the immortals and deities of myth, but rather he was still contemplating the Dao of Qiankun and the wonders of space.

He sat on the ground, not moving at all, but the next moment, his figure suddenly blurred and then faded away. That was the light and afterimage left behind by disappearing too quickly.

At the same moment, in the mountains dozens of miles away, Yu Xiu's figure appeared abruptly, still sitting on the ground, still contemplating.

"Qiankun Shift!"

"Shrinking the Ground to an Inch!"

"Heaven's Edge at a Close Distance!"

The more he contemplated, the more he felt that this Dao of Qiankun was profound and vast.

"Qiankun is to contain the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers within it!"

"The nature of heaven and earth, everything is within Qiankun!"

His figure once again vanished into thin air, appearing hundreds of miles away.

"Shrinking a thousand mountains, manipulating Qiankun."

"These various wonderful uses are truly quite interesting."

Yu Xiu was delighted in his heart, finding it increasingly interesting.

Silently, his figure faded and vanished, appearing thousands of miles away.

This place, however, was a different scene: ten thousand miles of dark clouds, yet the Qiankun was clear and bright.

"Hmm, I still prefer the overcast rain over at Dongan Commandery."

Yu Xiu looked up at the sky.

The next instant, high above the ten thousand miles of dark clouds, a great wind suddenly arose, and rolling dark clouds gathered. In an instant, a fine, continuous rain began to fall.

In fact, for Yu Xiu now, if he wished, he could create numerous Spells in a single thought.

It was just that he had devoted his time to contemplating the laws of heaven, earth, nature, and all living things, to increase his Dao cultivation.

Spells were merely incidental to this process.

When he wanted to use one, he would casually create it.

In reality, even without using a Spell, if he said this rain would fall, it would certainly fall.

"Which scoundrel angered the Heavenly Lord, causing this rain to fall?" From a great distance, a grumbling voice drifted along the wind and entered Yu Xiu's ears.

In the wild mountains, that voice was at least over a hundred miles away.

Yet Yu Xiu still heard it clearly.

Because he was contemplating the principles of heaven, earth, and nature, and he had just happened to summon the wind and call the rain.

The voice was carried by the wind.

Yu Xiu originally did not want to pay attention, but he heard a voice coming again on the wind.

"How come it was perfectly fine before, and suddenly it started raining?"

"Who knows? But this weather is just right; let's go catch a few people to eat and satisfy our cravings."

"Very good."

Yu Xiu raised his eyes to look, but of course, he could not see clearly because they were too far apart.

In fact, if he did not rely on these physical eyes, he could still know what was a hundred miles away, because there was also the Dao of Qiankun, and there was the wind. But at this moment, Yu Xiu inexplicably wanted to use his eyes to see.

Thus, he looked up at the sky. "During the day, the great sun hangs in the sky, illuminating the world!"

"At night, the bright moon hangs high, sprinkling over the human realm!"

"How can these eyes of mine only see such distances!"

"It should not be so."

In reality, Yu Xiu's lifespan exceeded two hundred million, and the vitality within his Life Spring was terrifyingly vast. After several transformations and circulating through his whole body, his eyes had long since surpassed those of ordinary practitioners by far too much.

Yet, they still had not given birth to a Divine Ability similar to the Heavenly Eye.

It seemed that relying solely on the vitality after transformation to nourish them on its own would require a very long time before a Divine Ability could naturally evolve.

"Sun and Moon!"

"Yin and Yang!"

"Eyes!"

In an instant, within the pupils of Yu Xiu's eyes, it seemed as if a great sun appeared in each, faintly reflecting and corresponding with the great sun high in the sky.

Borrowing the great sun to view the world.

In that moment, he seemed to be suspended high above the Nine Heavens, seeing the beasts in the mountains dozens of miles away, and seeing a leopard demon and a black bear monster walking out of a cave over a hundred miles away.

"Demons." Yu Xiu gently raised his hand and grasped into the void.

Instantly, the leopard demon and black bear monster, over a hundred miles away, were greatly alarmed.

"What is going on? Who is capturing us?" The leopard demon was terrified, feeling its body was out of control, as if it were about to be swallowed into an unknown abyss.

The black bear monster was panicking, its heart jumping wildly, and it knelt on the ground, crying out: "Grandfather, spare my life..."

Before the pleas for mercy had finished, the Void Realm split open, instantly swallowing the two demons and plunging them into endless darkness.

When they saw light again after a moment, a giant towering between heaven and earth appeared before them, holding a golden, brilliant banner pole in one hand and a gold cauldron radiating righteous energy in the other.

"No, it is not that this person is towering between heaven and earth, it is that we have shrunk countless times!" The two demons were so terrified that their souls almost left their bodies.

Indeed, their souls had also emerged, uncontrollably, and drilled into that golden, brilliant banner, losing consciousness forever.

Their unconscious bodies then entered the gold cauldron.

Yu Xiu inhaled the spiritual essence contributed by the two demons, flipped his palm, and put away the human emperor banner and the human emperor cauldron.

Doing it casually, it was not considered a waste.

If he had let these two demons go, who knew how many ordinary people and practitioners would have ended up in their mouths.

There are many demons and evil spirits in the deep mountains; this is truly no lie!

Yu Xiu looked at the distant mountains, his figure gradually fading, until after a blink, he completely disappeared without a trace, as if he had merged into this Qiankun.
