Chapter 1457 - 790: The Planetary Gamble and Becoming the Celestial Abyss! (Part 3)

Chapter 1457: Chapter 790: The Planetary Gamble and Becoming the Celestial Abyss! (Part 3)

The fishman was increasingly amazed the more he thought about it. He had felt it a total of 60 times, yet still struggled to grasp its essence.

And this ’Meng’ from the Sea Blue Star Realm had managed to achieve it the very first time he came to Whirlpool Star...

Such a powerful talent, it’s enviable!

His father had said that when encountering such Dao Realm geniuses, one must seize the opportunity to try to befriend them.

Meng was the most talented cosmic being he had encountered during his time on Whirlpool Star.

At this thought, as he was about to leave, he extended his Enlightenment time for another cosmic hour and quietly waited for Meng to finish his insights.

He didn’t have to wait long; as the time drew near, Meng Chuan’s consciousness gradually broke free from within, his eyes brimming with joy.

He understood, he fully understood!

Water is a fluid life-force, and the key to merging with it lies in converting bodily energy so it flows with the current.

Then, when facing Elder Zhao’s [Ten Thousand Rivers Return to the Sea] imagery, he could harmonize with the life-force, thus turning foes into friends and easily countering the move.

What, then, was his greatest insight this time?

Water cannot be forcibly controlled; like tightly gripping a handful of flowing water, it will only slip away through the fingers.

The tighter the grip, the more it completely escapes.

Adapting to the flow of water by enveloping it with heart intent is itself a form of ’control’.

With an enlightening thought, the time was up, and Meng Chuan’s form blurred and disappeared from the seabed.

"Hey? Wait! No... buddy!"

The fishman jumped and waved, having waited so long for him, how could he have just left?

However, flustered by his heart intent, he lost his composure. The rapidly surging seawater engulfed him and crashed him to the seabed.

"Don’t go, what’s your Dao Domain Network number..."

...

"Someone calling me?"

In his personal space, Meng Chuan scratched his head, perplexed.

His heart intent was entirely immersed in insight, unaware of changes in the outside world. He merely heard vague traces of ’buddy,’ ’number,’ through extraordinary hearing.

"Is it that fishman? Is he looking for me?"

Unfortunately, the Enlightenment time was only a cosmic hour, forcing him to exit.

Entering again, Meng Chuan was reluctant to spend the money.

The goal was achieved, and he wanted to use Star Coins for cultivation. Without a source of Star Coins yet, it was best to spend wisely and use valuable resources where needed.

Whirlpool Star’s Dao Principles were far more plentiful than this, but these were enough for him to start. He’d learn [Ten Thousand Rivers Return to the Sea] first and proceed.

Exiting the Dao Domain Network, Meng Chuan reminisced on his recent findings, his Heart Spirit slowly delving within.

Cultivation, digesting insights.

On the panel, the proficiency of the Celestial Abyss Skill increased at a terrifying rate in less than half an hour—

[Celestial Abyss Catastrophe Deterrent Harmony Dao Skill: Second Level (77%) → Third Level (1%)]

Over a year-long planetary interstellar journey, Meng Chuan cultivated the Celestial Abyss Skill for a long time, advancing the proficiency by 70% in an orderly manner.

Now, upon assimilating insights from the virtual planet’s enlightenment, succeeding in breaking through the third level, the proficiency continued to rise, reaching (30%) before gently halting.

Meng Chuan was exhilarated:

"These five thousand Star Coins were truly well spent!"

The essence of the Divine Skill was suited for Blue Star humanity’s Dao Principle cultivation method. Digesting related insights resulting in large proficiency increases was entirely normal.

Having moved closer once more to comprehending the Dao of Water, Meng Chuan also gained a hint regarding Limit Breaking.

"But it’s merely speculation; actual Limit Breaking is still worlds away, as Dragon King Cui remarked. The theoretical Perfection layers for Celestial Abyss Skill amount to 23 layers. Before Entering the Dao and Breaking Eight, there’s no point in thinking about it..."

The breakthrough of three layers in Celestial Abyss Skill massively bolstered Meng Chuan’s prowess.

It wasn’t just the battle strength and more Kidney Water Qi.

At this moment, the air was permeated with ubiquitous water vapor.

Upon contact, his body blended with it, swiftly analyzing numerous elements.

"The breakthrough of the Divine Skill’s essence is a breakthrough in corresponding Dao Principle insight, reflecting as enhancement in the physique, promoting life level advancement..."

Meng Chuan stood up, his heart intent stirring, and his perception spread outward.

The range extended further, beyond three thousand zhang, covered by his Heart Intent Power.

After encountering the Cosmos, he placed increasing importance on Heart Intent cultivation, rooted in the Three Flowers God, which was also his innate deficiency.

"Heart intent connects spirit and body, raises breathing speed, cultivation efficiency, perceives energy life-force, deepens Martial Arts control, and other core abilities. Hence, the heart intent training method realized from Lan Zhan must continue diligently without slack."

Converting Heart Intent Power into his Martial Arts is what he termed [True Martial Intent], a crucial aspect in future Creation Skill True Martial."

Buzz—

A faint gleam flickered before Meng Chuan’s eyes, stepping into the Inner World to once again contact the [Celestial Abyss World] imprint.

"Let’s begin!"

Meng Chuan commenced an unbeknownst number of times, challenging Zhao Linyuan’s imagery.

As his cultivation deepened, the power from Dao Principles and Martial Arts became increasingly abundant.

Every few months, his strength evolved substantially.

Today’s breakthrough in Celestial Abyss Skill, coupled with additional profound Water Dao insights, filled Meng Chuan with confidence of achieving great success in a single stroke!

Woosh!

A terrifying water storm swept through the heavens and earth.

Within the roaring torrents, Meng Chuan’s Heart Intent Power was severely restricted, only able to vaguely sense surroundings, barely preventing his body from resisting immense impacts and instead aligning with the flow, seeking to merge with it.

"Feels completely different now..." Meng Chuan resisted the Celestial Abyss Water using integration, indeed unveiling an entirely different vast world.

"What I previously considered, mastering Black Tortoise Series defensive Divine Skill to withstand directly, was incorrect. Humans definitely need to learn adaptability; facing the Power of Return Ruins, resistant to nothing, incapable of abrasion, let it erode, integrate internally, then assimilate, absorb, gradually dissipating its power is the right decision!"

Finally!

The great tide receded, and at this moment, Meng Chuan was drenched, but his gaze was intensely fiery.

For his mind received an abundance of information, all from the figure standing mid-air, instructing him on unleashing such a monumental water storm.

"[Ten Thousand Rivers Return to the Sea]..."

Meng Chuan murmured to himself.

Contemplating not long, the figure in the firmament moved once more.

Condensed the vast water stream to the utmost, gathering a water blade thin as cicada wings in his palm.

This blade was colorless, formless, like the winter sun fleeting to dusk.

Descending upon him, space seemed to split in two, light and shadow alternating, creating a remarkably intense sparkling scene.

"What a terrifying strike..."
