273: Chapter 273 The Supernatural Power "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch"

["As expected of a Dharma Idol condensed based on the 'Boundless Creation' talent; it's practically invincible!"]

[While sighing with emotion, you focused your mind. With a slight movement of your will, that heaven-propping Dharma Idol slowly merged into your body from the outside in, like a reflection in water.]

[Though the process was silent and invisible, it triggered violent fluctuations in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.]

[The wisps of profound Dao Rhyme emanating from the Dharma Idol's body now acted like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, being re-absorbed into your internal Meridians and the depths of your Sea of Consciousness thread by thread, wisp by wisp.]

[The return of every wisp of Dao Rhyme made you feel your Foundation become more stable and your connection with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth grow ever tighter.]

[However, even though the Dao Rhyme had been fully retracted, this originally barren and silent mountain range where you were located had already undergone a permanent, fundamental change due to the manifestation of the Dharma Idol and the permeation of Dao Rhyme during your Breakthrough.]

[Indelible creation patterns were quietly branded upon the mountain rocks, and tiny glimmers of spirituality were nurtured within the soil.]

[In the air, the originally thin Spiritual Qi became dense and active, and there were even faint pulses of spiritual springs forming underground.]

[The entire mountain seemed to have been injected with an immortal spiritual spark, radiating vibrant vitality.]

[Although for now, its accumulation of spiritual charm and atmospheric scale might not compare to those top-tier famous mountains and great rivers that have stood between heaven and earth for countless years, full of spiritual beauty...]

[...for ordinary Loose Cultivators or small sects lacking resources, this place is already a dream-like blessed land for cultivation, sufficient to serve as the Foundation for founding a sect and passing down a Legacy.]

[After retracting the Dharma Idol, you did not rush to leave this desolate mountain that had transformed because of you. Instead, you carefully sensed your own changes.]

[During the process of condensing the Dharma Idol, due to the true intent of the Great Dao contained within the 'Boundless Creation' talent, your essence, Qi, and spirit underwent a certain mysterious and profound transformation.]

[Your blood surged like liquid mercury, your bone marrow was as lustrous as jade, and the faint echoes of Dao sounds resonated between your internal organs.]

[Your True Qi became increasingly pure and condensed, its circulation secretly harmonizing with the rhythm of heaven and earth, while your Divine Sense became unprecedentedly clear and vast, as if it could reflect every minute detail around you and perceive the principles of the birth and death of all things.]

[This change was not a simple increase in power, but an Evolution of the very essence of life.]

[It made you, from your Physical Body to your Soul, more compatible with the deep connotations of the 'Boundless Creation' talent, as if you yourself were gradually becoming a walking manifestation of 'Creation' in the world.]

["Does this count as me transforming from a mortal body into a special Physique? Should I call this the Creation Without Limit Saintly Body?"]

[You didn't know if your current Physique counted as a special one; you only knew that you could now exert even more power from the 'Boundless Creation' talent.]

[Specifically, the speed at which you accumulate Creation Energy will increase significantly. Whether through Cultivate, insights, or other means, the efficiency is incomparable to before.]

[At the same time, when practicing Cultivation Techniques or martial arts, the growth of your proficiency is also two or three times faster than before.]

[This Breakthrough left you very satisfied. If you could only put up a fight against a Celestial Being before, now you can really take on a Celestial Being!]

[Of course, you actually didn't know what kind of strength a First Rank Celestial Being possessed. These were just inferences you made based on your strength in the Dharma Idol Realm and the descriptions of First Rank Celestial Beings in records.]

[Because up until now, you truly haven't met a real First Rank Celestial Being Realm Martial Artist.]

["The First Rank Celestial Beings of this world won't really be like those written in some novels from my past life, where they don't show their faces until a certain point in time, and then once that time comes, they all swarm out at once, right?"]

[If that's really the case, then it'll be fun.]

[With your growth speed, it's likely that by the time the First Rank Martial Artists actually emerge, you could crush them with a single finger.]

[After sensing the changes from your Breakthrough, you quietly erased all the Breath-Concealing Runes you had previously set up, leaving no trace behind.]

[Then, your figure moved slightly, like a fresh breeze brushing over the mountains. In an instant, you had returned to that quiet manor in Xuanjing City.]

[In the year 1005 of the Great Yong Dynasty, on the 20th day of the first month, the 2.0 version of the Supreme Golden Body Method completed its second limit-break.]

[This limit-break not only caused the strength of your golden body to leap to a brand-new level, with the golden light around your body as solid as a glass Treasure Artifact...]

[...but it also significantly enhanced the martial Divine Abilities obtained through the golden body method, such as the 'Sixteen-Foot Golden Body'.]

[And this time, without any surprise, you Awakened yet another brand-new Divine Ability.]

[When that mysterious Divine Ability insight emerged from the sea of your heart, you found that the power this Divine Ability possessed was actually quite familiar to you.]

[The Divine Ability you Awakened this time allows you to shrink thousands of miles of mountains and rivers into a square inch; with each step you take, it's as if you can step through the boundaries of the Void Realm.]

[With this sense of déjà vu, you named this Divine Ability 'Shrinking the Earth to an Inch' without a second thought!]

[Perhaps because the Dao of Space contained within 'Shrinking the Earth to an Inch' is more profound and mysterious, your previously mastered 'Floating Off the Ground' Divine Ability actually merged into it naturally and silently.]

[Of course, this doesn't mean you lost the ability to fly. On the contrary, you can now freely use the power of shrinking the earth while flying.]

[Wherever your figure passes, space seems to be gently folded by an invisible hand, and long-distance movement is completed almost instantaneously.]

[This truly has a bit of the flavor of 'Warp Flight' as described in science fiction works from your previous life—not moving in a straight line, but using the curvature of space to complete a leap-style transit.]

[The difference, however, is that in warp flight, the spaceship doesn't move while the space is pulled; here, you still have to take that step yourself.]

[Besides long-distance movement, using 'Shrinking the Earth to an Inch' for short-distance movement is no different from teleportation. It's truly a Sharp Weapon for showing off.]
