82: Chapter 82 Crossing the Vast Ocean

This year.

It was the twelfth year of Ji Yebai's Rebirth, and the second year of the recovery of Spiritual Qi.

"Unknowingly, it has already been more than twelve years..."

Ji Yebai gazed at the rapidly changing world outside the window and sighed softly.

With the recovery of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, it was extremely easy to achieve a Breakthrough in the martial arts Realm, at least for those below First-class.

This also raised the baseline for all citizens, and the speed at which Geniuses emerged far exceeded any other era.

It wasn't just martial arts Geniuses; what was even more shocking was the emergence of technological Geniuses.

One difficult mathematical problem after another was solved, and all these contributions were made by the newest generation of young people;

Not only that, but even basic physics was advancing rapidly once again.

Almost every few days, great news reached people's ears.

Even though he was experiencing this era of change for the second time, Ji Yebai still felt shocked.

That intense atmosphere, which condensed changes that should have taken years or even decades into just a few short months, permeated the entire world.

"In my previous life, I was nothing more than a small shrimp, drifting with the tides of the era. But now, I have the strength to sit back and watch the winds and clouds rise... Everything in this world is truly profound and unparalleled!"

Ji Yebai sighed softly, marveling at the unpredictable nature of the world.

His strength had already reached a vertex, or rather, the Peak that a conventional human life could reach.

To go any further, one must transform into an Innate being and raise the upper limit.

Innate, where flesh and blood transform, a Treasured Body is born, Internal Energy evolves into True Essence, and Mental Energy transforms into Divine Sense.

And now, Ji Yebai's Physical Body had undergone an extreme transformation, almost becoming a Treasured Body.

He had also given birth to Divine Sense.

The only thing lacking was the transformation of his Internal Energy.

For Internal Energy to transform into True Essence, it required an opportunity.

This point was mysterious and profound.

It required constant realization and constant searching.

As long as one found this thread of opportunity, one could instantly transform Internal Energy into True Essence.

"An opportunity is also a thread of Qi!"

Ji Yebai smiled.

Having read so many ancient books and martial arts secret manuals, plus the expositions by Bai Zhu in the General Outline of Martial Arts, he had long understood what he was lacking.

Within Heaven and Earth, there existed the power of the Origin.

This was an extremely pure aura, the aura of Heaven and Earth, of the world, containing the power of creation, known as the thread of Qi.

As long as one captured this thread of Qi, it could trigger the change in True Essence, and furthermore, it could connect the Physical Body, Internal Energy, and Divine Will.

With the three connected, the Innate power would be born!

The Qi of the world occurred at any time and in any place.

For example, the alternation of Yin and Yang, the purple Qi coming from the east with the first ray of sunlight;

For example, the vast ocean containing the rolling waters of the Yellow River;

For example, the unstoppable eruption of lava;

...

In short, the Qi of the world existed at every moment.

The key was whether a Martial Artist could capture this thread of Qi.

Not only was this thread of Qi fleeting, but it was also not something that could be perceived at will.

This required sufficiently strong Mental Energy and a sufficiently clever time node.

A second too late and it could not be seen; a breath too early and it could not be heard.

If it was said to appear at exactly three seconds, then it was exactly three seconds—not three point zero zero one seconds, nor two point nine nine seconds.

It only appeared in that subtle instant.

It was so wondrous, and therefore rare.

"I have already transformed my Divine Sense, and my power of perception far exceeds that of a First-Class Martial Artist. Capturing this thread of Qi is not difficult for me; I only need to wait quietly for the thread of Qi to arrive!"

Ji Yebai laughed.

He got up, went downstairs, and walked towards the steamed bun shop downstairs.

At this time, it was the transition between night and day, and the sky was just beginning to brighten.

However, the steamed bun shop downstairs was already bustling with activity.

A day's plan starts with the morning!

Today, with martial arts prevailing, the greatest change to the world was that everyone had developed the good habit of waking up early.

"I don't know where this thread of Qi from the purple Qi coming from the east was born. Although I didn't encounter it, that doesn't stop me from enjoying the soup dumplings!"

Ji Yebai smelled the fragrance in the air, his mood pleasant.

Between Heaven and Earth, when Yin and Yang alternate, only one thread of this aura is born, and it could appear in any corner. Generally speaking, it requires a special Cultivation Technique to entice it.

Therefore, after trying once, Ji Yebai gave up on this thread of Qi.

But what he didn't give up on were the soup dumplings downstairs.

These soup dumplings were not ordinary.

They were fragrant and delicious; one bite and the juices would overflow, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. They were extremely tasty.

Moreover, it was said that the raw Materials the boss used were meat from a Vicious Beast wild boar. The meat was not only firm but also rich in a large amount of Spiritual Qi, making it very nourishing.

Because of this, the people coming to eat soup dumplings every day were endless.

The boss's business was incredibly good.

Ji Yebai walked downstairs, and by this time, there were already many people.

Fortunately, he walked to a seat.

"Boss, three baskets of dumplings!"

Ji Yebai said to the boss.

"Coming right up!"

The boss answered with a chuckle.

He then came to the side of a steamer that was stacked more than three meters high.

He lifted the steamer, and the three-meter-high steamer was surprisingly lifted steadily by him with one hand, leaving only three layers of the steamer below.

Then, with his free right hand, he gave a light, airy push. A gentle Internal Energy radiated out, directly tossing the three baskets of dumplings onto the dining table in front of Ji Yebai.

Although the three baskets of dumplings were tossed over, covering a distance of five meters, not a single drop of juice spilled out. When they landed on Ji Yebai's table, there wasn't even the slightest tremor.

That gentleness was even steadier than picking it up and putting it down gently.

Ji Yebai smiled.

This boss's Thousand-Silk Hand could be said to have truly mastered its essence.

Turning Internal Energy into silk was extremely exquisite.

Ji Yebai picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth in one bite.

"Mmm, delicious!"

Ji Yebai chewed slowly, enjoying the expansion of his taste buds.

His need for food was becoming smaller and smaller, but he enjoyed food more and more.

As the dumplings were consumed one by one, time passed quickly.

At this moment, the steamed bun shop had gathered more and more people.

These people were all sweating, with an aura surging on their bodies.

Apparently, they had all just finished Cultivating.

Ji Yebai smiled slightly.

Looking around, everyone had a rosy complexion and was full of energy and spirit.

Most importantly, they were full of Life Qi.

They were completely unlike the indifferent and weak appearance they had a few years ago.

Ji Yebai paid the bill and gave up his seat.

At this time, the sky had cleared, and the sun was bright.

Ji Yebai breathed in the fresh air, preparing to go to the library to continue reading.

Now, he liked reading various myths and legends more and more.

The more he read, the more questions he had.

He always felt that something was hidden within the various myths and legends, but when he thought about it carefully, he gained nothing, making him suspect that he was overthinking.

Just on the way to the library, a message on his phone caught Ji Yebai's attention.

"Suspected appearance of a top-tier Heaven And Earth Treasure in the Amazon Rainforest!?"

Ji Yebai looked at the location on his phone, his brows furrowed.

He remembered something.

In his previous life at this time, this matter had also vaguely exploded on the internet.

Beasts wanting to evolve into Vicious Beasts generally relied on spiritual plants, so Vicious Beasts did not actually appear on a large scale.

However, an abnormal phenomenon appeared in the Amazon.

An unusually large number of Vicious Beasts appeared there, and they were all of the same species.

Giant pythons!!!

"Being able to allow a python tribe to evolve, it seems to be a spiritual plant capable of repeated growth, and it contains extremely strong efficacy, far from what a low-level spiritual plant like the bone-forging flower can compare to!"

To evolve into a Vicious Beast, conventional low-level spiritual plants were very difficult to achieve this.

"I remember this matter... it seems it even attracted Bai Zhu!?"

Ji Yebai pondered slightly.

Thinking about the news from his previous life.

It was said that a great battle broke out there, where First-Class Martial Artists from other countries fell, and in the end, it even attracted Bai Zhu to go there.

Because this matter was too far away and involved levels that were too high, not much information flowed out.

Ji Yebai couldn't recall too much for a moment.

"The Amazon Rainforest, the lungs of the Earth, why not go take a look!?"

Ji Yebai stopped.

A moment later, he turned around, checked out of his room, picked up his backpack, and walked towards the seaside.

Bai Zhu once went into the sea alone, killing his way into the Sakura Island.

Now, he was also struck by a sudden impulse.

He also wanted to go into the sea alone and cross the vast ocean.
