It is said that deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains, mysterious tribes have always lived.
Throughout history, even with the rapid advancement of technology, people’s understanding of the Ten Thousand Mountains remains very limited.
And deep within these mountains, there are both sects like the Wanshou Sect and the enigmatic Beast God Cult like the Divine Control Sect.
At this moment, a crane’s call was heard from the sky, followed by a flicker of shadows as the Yin Yang Dao Grandmaster gently descended onto the bow of the ship.
"Ming Zhengyi, instead of observing the battle from afar, why have you come to my ship? Aren’t you afraid of catching the poisonous insects on my ship and being brought back to the mountain, only to become a monster?"
Gui Tusheng said leisurely, letting out an eerie laugh.
Ming Zhengyi frowned slightly, seeming somewhat disdainful.
"The Celestial Gate has already opened, and the previous rumors of a new era coming have proven true.
Lin Beichen may have taken only half a step ahead of us. Though his divine techniques are powerful, they are merely wasting Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. When it comes to the intricacies of technique, how can he compare to people like us?
Gui Tusheng, what do you think of the outcome of this battle?"
Ming Zhengyi did not deliberately lower his voice.
Gui Tusheng could hear him, and so could everyone else.
Voices of debate arose from all the boats.
Everyone could see clearly how unpredictable and variable Qin Wenwu’s moves were, while Lin Beichen, apart from his Spiritual Light, showed no other divine techniques.
This could only mean that Lin Beichen, though he opened the Celestial Gate, was merely a fortunate soul born in this era.
A person’s luck might carry them for a while, but not necessarily for a thousand years.
Those who had stepped into the Death Gate Realm, who among them was not a supreme talent forged by the times?
On Zhou Ya’s boat, Wei Qingqing and the others stared dumbfounded at the battlefield, their jaws almost dropping in shock.
"This is not a movie, not a dream, but reality?"
Wu Haoyu said in horror.
Qin Wenwu walked amidst the Heaven and Earth’s ice, summoning countless icebergs with a wave of his hand, freezing everything within a thousand-meter radius.
Lin Beichen stepped in the void, wielding Cyan Wood Spirit Light. With a flick of his wrist, he countered with changeless to respond to all changes, breaking ten thousand swords with a single move, causing the lake to surge and ripple.
The battle between the two seemed like a dragon stirring the sea, bringing the wrath of nature.
No matter how much attention Qian Mingxing and the others had paid before, they only thought of it as a martial arts spectacle. But now, the battle had tilted toward a magical scene.
Even in this era of rampant film effects, such magical scenes are difficult to produce within a range of a thousand meters.
Even so-called Hollywood blockbusters could only manage effects within a range of a hundred meters.
Judging by the so-called immersive experience of sound, light, and visual shock, this battle had already shattered their worldview.
Wei Qingqing and Yan Zhenyue didn’t say anything, just kept nodding, clearly awestruck as well.
Qian Mingxing gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, filled with a deep sense of unwillingness.
"So this is the new era, and there really are people in this world who can attain immortality and enlightenment! If I could become like them, what in the world could I not achieve? Even Zhou Ya would only need a beckoning to have her by my side!"
At this thought, he couldn’t help but look toward the cabin door.
At the door, Zhou Ya leaned against it, her brows slightly furrowed.
She did not notice Qian Mingxing’s gaze; her mind was completely captivated by Lin Beichen.
"Although this person’s appearance has changed, and his demeanor is a bit different, his voice sounds so familiar. Could he actually be Lin Beichen?"
She silently wondered.
Meanwhile, in midair, Qin Wenwu’s body suddenly trembled, and a thousand talismans around him erupted with brilliant light, freezing everything within range, trapping Lin Beichen within.
"Though Qin Wenwu’s divine techniques are old and inefficient, his talent is truly remarkable. In just a moment, he’s already shown signs of breaking into Tier Five Spiritual Qi."
Lin Beichen marveled in his heart.
If he hadn’t achieved the Withering Flourishing Body, tightly relying on Five Elements Qi to suppress Qin Wenwu, he could never have defeated Zhao Tianjie so effortlessly.
Zhao Tianjie was nothing more than an ant to Lin Beichen.
This ant was slightly strong, understanding a bit about Inner Strength Release, but other than that, he was no different from an ordinary person.
But Qin Wenwu was different.
Qin Wenwu had pioneered a path on his own, utilizing a special conversion method to condense Ice Qi before the Celestial Gate even opened.
Once the Celestial Gate opened, he instantly captured the dissipating Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and, combining it with his vast knowledge, managed to keep breaking through within a mere month, mastering the Tier Four Five Elements Essence.
In fact, if Lin Beichen had condensed anything other than the Withering Flourishing Body, even just a typical single Spiritual Energy Body, Qin Wenwu might have caught up quite quickly.
But that’s all hypothetical.
"A month ago, if I wanted to kill you, I would have had to completely exhaust your Inner Strength with Five Elements Qi over three days and nights. But now, with the Withering Flourishing Body condensed, all things are illusion beneath it."
Though Lin Beichen’s body was sealed in ice, his expression was exceptionally calm. His eyes gradually turned an almost transparent cyan-green.
With the condensation of the Golden Core, divine techniques arose naturally.
The Withering Flourishing Body, nearing the state of celestial beings!
So-called celestial beings merge Heaven and Earth with themselves, evolving a small universe within the body.
Though Lin Beichen could only manifest the power of vegetation and the earth, he had already possessed a part of Heaven and Earth’s divine techniques.
And this was why he did not fear Qin Wenwu or anyone else in the world, regardless of how quickly they grew.
