30: Chapter 30 is coming.
Time moved leisurely forward.
Ji Yebai holed up in the deep mountains, cultivating continuously.
In his previous life, he was considered a corporate executive, with constant wealth and having experienced prosperity.
Because of this, he was better able to endure loneliness.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Ji Yebai sat cross-legged, Five Elements facing the sky.
Inside the pitch-black cave, a five-colored halo enveloped Ji Yebai's entire body.
In front of him were five floating five elements spirit beads, continuously overflowing with Five Elements Energy for Ji Yebai to absorb.
By now, Ji Yebai was about to make another Breakthrough.
He was about to enter the Late Stage of a Third-rate Martial Artist.
"Water overflows when full; it is time to make a Breakthrough!"
Ji Yebai smiled slightly.
His expression was calm.
This was only a Breakthrough from the Middle Stage to the Late Stage, not a Breakthrough of a major Realm.
He was not too nervous.
Ji Yebai did not delay any further and started the Breakthrough directly.
He used hand seals to perform a secret technique, activating the spirit beads.
The floating spirit beads immediately shone brilliantly.
Large amounts of Five Elements Energy appeared.
Ji Yebai took a sudden breath, like a whale swallowing water, absorbing all the Five Elements Energy.
The current five elements spirit beads, as the Spiritual Qi became increasingly dense, also became more miraculous.
Even though Ji Yebai swallowed a large amount of energy in one breath.
But.
The next moment.
The spirit beads manifested more energy again.
The newly emerged Five Elements Energy, accompanied by Ji Yebai's breathing, continuously entered his body.
Gold, wood, water, fire, earth—the five distinct energies, after entering Ji Yebai's body, were all attracted and continuously merged into his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
For a time, Ji Yebai's five internal organs suddenly erupted with an unusual luster.
"Now is the time!"
Ji Yebai held his breath and focused his mind.
Surging Internal Energy immediately poured out of his Dantian.
Like a colorful long river, it directly connected the five internal organs.
It built a bridge of divine rainbow between the five internal organs.
The vast Five Elements Energy seemed inexhaustible, following the cycle between the five internal organs, setting up the bridge of divine rainbow, continuously nourishing Ji Yebai's body.
His physical strength slowly increased, and his Internal Energy became thicker.
An Aura rose around Ji Yebai.
The Aura gradually became powerful and surging.
It grew stronger and heavier, like substance, pushing away the surrounding air.
Until it reached a certain peak.
The next moment.
Ji Yebai's whole body shook.
The substantial Aura suddenly collapsed.
Whoosh!
In the entire cave, a strong wind rose in an instant.
The sound of the wind whistled and stopped in an instant.
Half an hour later.
Ji Yebai slowly opened his eyes.
"It was actually this simple!"
Ji Yebai laughed.
The process of his Breakthrough to the Late Stage could be said to be smooth sailing, completely feeling like water flowing into a channel.
"Madly accumulating Internal Energy; when the amount of Internal Energy is sufficient, any obstacle will cease to exist."
Ji Yebai slowly stood up.
This Breakthrough strengthened his confidence in the future path of martial arts.
Moreover, that was not all.
Late Stage of a Third-rate Martial Artist.
His Internal Energy was incomparably profound.
His combat power was even more extraordinary.
In his previous life, the division of martial arts was proposed by Bai Zhu.
Although he did not know why he used Third-rate, Second-rate, and First-class to define it.
A Third-rate Martial Artist is divided into Early, Middle, and Late Stages.
The gap between each stage is huge.
If the total amount of Internal Energy in the Early stage is 10, then the Middle Stage is 50, and the Late Stage starts at 100 or more.
Internal Energy determines the strength of a Martial Artist.
A Late Stage Third-rate Martial Artist can easily defeat more than ten Early or Middle Stage Martial Artists.
The gap cannot be mentioned in the same breath.
Internal Energy is a magical energy.
Under the blessing of Internal Energy, a Martial Artist's strength, speed, and endurance will all be greatly improved.
Therefore, the strength and quantity of Internal Energy are, fundamentally speaking, the gap between Martial Artists.
"Is this the Late Stage!?"
Ji Yebai's eyes lit up, his expression excited.
He slowly mobilized his Internal Energy, and the Five Elements Qi gathered in his palm.
Boom!
Ji Yebai threw a punch.
The stone wall of the cave shattered instantly.
Gravel flew everywhere.
The entire stone wall was covered with dense cracks like spider webs.
The center was even blasted into a pit.
"In the same Realm, the gap between the Early, Middle, and Late Stages is actually so huge!"
Ji Yebai looked at the scene in front of him, feeling emotional.
At this moment, he was more than ten times stronger than before.
Not only was his Internal Energy improved, but his five internal organs had also become stronger.
The deeper the Internal Energy, the better it is for the five internal organs.
The more Five Elements Energy that can be mobilized.
The stronger the five internal organs, the stronger the endurance, and the stronger the explosive power naturally becomes.
Ji Yebai was inexplicably excited.
He couldn't help but walk around.
Clatter!
A sound of gravel moving.
Ji Yebai looked down and was immediately dumbfounded.
The scattered gravel filled the entire cave.
Tonight was a sleepless night, a night for deep cleaning.
...
Meanwhile.
Kunlun Mountains.
Nameless Grave.
Bai Zhu was inexplicably sorrowful.
The Kunlun Saint, who treated him like a teacher and a father, was gone.
On a quiet morning, he left with a smile on his face.
Leaving behind only endless sadness and unforgettable memories.
Bai Zhu raised his head, eyes tightly closed.
But tears still spilled from the corners of his eyes.
In the last three months, the Kunlun Saint taught him too, too much.
A long time later.
Bai Zhu opened his eyes, which were full of pain.
His voice was hoarse.
"Master, although we did not have the name of teacher and student, we did have the reality of it."
"Bai Zhu will never forget the kindness of Master."
"Bai Zhu will also keep Master's teachings in his heart."
Bai Zhu pursed his lips, suppressing his sadness: "Master, no matter how great the difficulties I encounter in the future, I will strictly follow your instructions, work for the public and the people, and benefit the world!"
After speaking.
Bai Zhu kowtowed.
He was unwilling to get up for a long time.
...
Time drifted.
Half a year later.
Spring.
Zhangjiajie Hehua Airport.
Tourists were increasing day by day, and the airport was in a crowded state.
Among them, there were quite a few foreigners.
And in an inadvertent corner.
There were some people who looked like ordinary people, but had slender and tall figures and were strong and powerful.
"Captain, why do you think Hansen Cornell insisted on coming here!?"
Pang Qiu asked in a low voice.
His gaze was fixed on the exit, not relaxing for a moment.
Hansen Cornell started applying to enter China a year ago, but was rejected every time. Until now, there was no reason to refuse him.
Captain Zhuang Xiuming slowly frowned and sighed: "Only he knows the specific answer."
He paused and continued: "But according to the intelligence team's speculation, Hansen Cornell most likely came for the mutant creatures!"
"Huh!?"
On the other side, Bai Yangrong withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhuang Xiuming in surprise: "Captain, do you mean that mutant creatures have also appeared in our country!?"
Zhuang Xiuming slowly shook his head: "I don't know. Since mutant creatures appeared one after another two or three years ago, the higher-ups conducted the third national animal census, but no mutant creatures were found for the time being."
"Then..."
Bai Yangrong blinked, puzzled.
"Hansen Cornell is one of the earliest known people to evolve because of eating mutant creatures; his understanding of mutant creatures is higher than ours. The intelligence team only speculated on the purpose of his trip based on his movements in the past two years."
Pang Qiu tilted his head slightly and pondered: "We rejected him for a year, and he actually insisted on entering the country. I also think he must have discovered mutant creatures."
"But why didn't the national census find any mutant creatures?!"
Bai Yangrong was also puzzled: "Mutant creatures are basically huge. If there really were any, it would be impossible for us not to discover them!"
"The eyes of the masses are sharp. If there were any abnormalities, it would have been widely announced long ago!"
"Why didn't we find them!?" Bai Yangrong muttered.
And just at this moment.
Zhuang Xiuming looked up and saw a figure different from ordinary people appearing at the exit.
"Quiet! He is here!"
Zhuang Xiuming shouted in a low voice.
Pang Qiu and Bai Yangrong immediately became serious.
"Let's go, let's go meet him!"
Zhuang Xiuming said in a low voice.
Immediately, the three of them walked forward.
