62: Chapter 62 Beast Roar

The Earth.

Great virtue carries all things.

The land is undoubtedly the oldest entity of this heaven and earth.

It is also this land that bears everything.

All things are born with the earth as their Foundation.

Even the sky is no exception.

And at this very moment.

Ji Yebai touched this trace of the oldest will.

This vast will was impossible to describe concretely; it was simply incredibly heavy and thick, containing an attitude of embracing all things, exceptionally gentle.

Under this will, Ji Yebai felt as insignificant as a single seed.

The heavy, ancient will remained as immovable as a mountain.

Ji Yebai gradually immersed himself in it.

He was like an infant, held in a mother's gentle embrace, tirelessly absorbing nourishment.

He was also like a seed, constantly thirsting for the earth's sustenance.

Ji Yebai's mind relaxed; with no movement, no thought, and no desire, he fully immersed himself.

Gradually.

He felt a breath.

That was the breath of the earth, the oldest pulse.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

One beat after another, extremely heavy, echoing from an endless distance away.

Ji Yebai subconsciously chased after it.

In a state of no thought and no desire, he constantly listened to the pulse of the earth.

He was addicted to it, unable to extricate himself.

And at this time.

Within Ji Yebai's Physical Body, subtle changes were also taking place.

Wisps of Earth Vein Qi rose continuously, surging into Ji Yebai's body.

Starting from his spleen, it constantly radiated throughout his entire body.

Tendons, bones, flesh, and skin.

Layer by layer, they were all permeated.

A sense of heaviness grew.

If there were a high-powered microscope capable of observing Ji Yebai's cells, one would find that every single moment, Ji Yebai's cells were undergoing changes.

They became heavier, tougher, and more capable of bearing heavy loads.

Time was like flowing water.

Moonlight fell and then vanished.

It was unknown how much time had passed.

Ji Yebai slowly opened his eyes.

Boom!

A beam of five-colored light shot out from his pupils, instantly causing two small pits to appear in the ground before him.

Ji Yebai was slightly stunned.

“My Internal Energy has actually surged this much?!”

He raised his right hand, and a cluster of Five Elements Internal Energy emerged.

Crimson, Earthy Yellow, Bright Gold, Deep Blue, and Fresh Green.

At this moment, the Crimson, Earthy Yellow, and Deep Blue colors were significantly brighter; not only that, but looking closely, one could faintly see flickering textures spreading within these three colors, intertwining with each other.

Ji Yebai carefully sensed the Internal Energy within his Dantian.

His vast Dantian was now completely filled with Five Elements Internal Energy.

Moreover, a colored galaxy continuously poured in from between his five organs and six viscera, causing his Internal Energy to grow every second.

It gave his body a sense of heaviness.

Ji Yebai waved his hand, his Internal Energy circulated, and a backpack not far away immediately flew over.

He opened the backpack.

Five precious pearls were shining brilliantly.

He activated a secret technique.

Immediately.

Wisps of Five Elements Power constantly overflowed and then began to be absorbed by Ji Yebai.

Ji Yebai slightly closed his eyes, guiding the Five Elements Power to nourish his internal organs.

This, in turn, transformed into energy that entered the colored galaxy's circulation.

Just ten minutes later.

The aura all over Ji Yebai's body suddenly erupted.

A ripple of five-colored light spread out, causing the surrounding dust to shudder.

Following that.

Ji Yebai suddenly felt his body become light and relaxed.

“It's finished just like that?!”

Ji Yebai clenched his fists, feeling somewhat emotional.

Breaking through to the First-class Middle Stage had actually felt so simple to him, as easy as getting out of bed and putting on clothes.

One could see how effortless this Breakthrough was.

As for the reason, it was because his five organs were too powerful.

Furthermore, the three types of Divine Will were intertwined, making his Internal Energy incredibly heavy and pure; thus, the Breakthrough was naturally easy.

Boom!

Ji Yebai suddenly stomped.

The ground within a three-meter radius collapsed with a bang.

Dense cracks spread out like a spiderweb.

“My Physical Body has actually become this powerful!?”

His strong bones and internal organs in turn drove his flesh to become incredibly tough.

Ji Yebai's current body and the strength he could erupt with surprised even himself.

“Current me, relying solely on my Physical Body, is already no weaker than a conventional First-Class Martial Artist, right?!”

Feeling the explosive energy within his body, Ji Yebai was filled with emotion.

A First-Class Martial Artist masters Divine Will and guides Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to wash their body, allowing their Divine Brave Body to take a step further; with every movement, they possess at least several thousand catties of massive strength.

Such a body, accompanied by the augmentation of Internal Energy, produces an explosive force enough to make one's jaw drop.

Yet Ji Yebai was confident that he could rival or suppress such experts with his Physical Body alone.

To be honest, he was very surprised himself.

If one only considered physical strength, even a Martial Artist specializing in external arts would likely be unable to compare to him.

Whew!

“This is truly an indescribable feeling...”

Ji Yebai took a deep breath, and the energy within his body quickly withdrew.

The experience brought by a strong and healthy body could not be described in words.

Yet it could make one feel invigorated and full of confidence.

“Haha, time to go, to Nanjiang!!!”

Ji Yebai leaped up with a bang; he didn't use a shred of Internal Energy, instead relying purely on the physical elasticity of his body to charge straight into mid-air.

Seven meters!

Ten meters!

Twenty meters!

Only at a full thirty meters high did Ji Yebai's upward momentum slow down.

Ji Yebai smiled slightly.

He was extremely satisfied with his own strength.

Internal Energy erupted with a bang as his toes kicked forcefully against the stone wall.

Whoosh!

Ji Yebai's body suddenly blurred, turning into a black shadow that charged straight up.

The bright moonlight fell silently.

The full moon in the sky appeared exceptionally large.

At this moment, if anyone were deep in this dense forest.

They would witness a magical scene.

The silver moon hung high.

A black shadow, like a cloud-piercing arrow, shot straight toward the sky.

It rose for dozens of meters before slowly descending.

...

The next day.

Ji Yebai walked leisurely through the dense forest.

His gaze was calm as he walked slowly.

From time to time, he stopped to look around at his surroundings.

Over these years, he had spent most of his time practicing in the deep mountains.

He had grown increasingly fond of natural scenery.

Staying in nature for a long time always made one feel dazed, as if the various things in the Mortal World were the true dreams.

Furthermore.

As his Divine Will increased, his sensory abilities grew stronger by the day.

Just like right now.

Walking through this deep, dense forest.

He could clearly sense the unique Concept emitted by all sorts of things.

The tenacity of life, the unyielding nature of grass stems, the sturdiness of great trees, and he could also sense the joy emitted by blooming flowers.

Life—everything was thriving.

Working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

“This world is truly wonderful.”

“All lives have their own unique will. That will may be concentrated, dispersed, manifested, or hidden. Most wills are nothing more than ordinary throughout their lives, yet there are a very few wills that can always erupt with miracles!”

Ji Yebai gave a soft sigh; he stroked the small grass before him, his eyes filled with emotion.

This was a small blade of grass growing on a rock.

Its roots were deeply embedded into the rock below.

That rock was already covered in cracks.

Even though those cracks were very tiny.

“Under the influence of will, a seemingly weak grass stem can actually erupt with brilliant power, making a rock ten thousand times harder than itself recoil.”

“Will is truly a powerful force!”

Ji Yebai could clearly perceive the persevering will within this small grass; this will was so intense that within this hundred-meter radius, it was like a lighthouse, making Ji Yebai notice it immediately.

Just as Ji Yebai was carefully experiencing the will emitted by the grass stem.

Suddenly.

An angry roar came from deep within the jungle.

“Roar!!!”

Following that was the crackling sound of trees breaking.

The strange beast roar made Ji Yebai stop and gaze into the distance.
