Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 580: Seize
As that sensation of moistness sank into Chen Chuan's body and spread to every part of him, he immediately felt his body and mind become clear and transparent. A sense of lightness and etherealness arose from within him, and his mind felt clear as well.
It was as if he had been carrying something incredibly heavy before, but after consuming this, it had lessened slightly.
This feeling was extremely profound, as if his physical body and Spirit had been washed, leaving him feeling refreshed and comfortable.
Moreover, this was also expressed in his observation of that world. If his previous observation of the front was obscured by a hazy mist, making it difficult to see clearly, then now it was as if it had been lightly wiped, making it somewhat clearer.
However, this feeling only lasted for a moment before it began to fade. Although he had changed as a result, it seemed to be only a slight change at the moment.
Chen Bitong had told him that if a Martial Artist's Strength was very strong, then the Pure Essence required would also increase accordingly.
So this bit of Pure Essence was not enough; he needed more.
Therefore, he continued to concentrate all his attention on the opposite side.
Having had the previous experience, he knew that Pure Essence appeared and disappeared almost in an instant, and that it was entirely necessary to rely on Spirit to capture it.
If one's Spirit was strong enough, then the chances of success would be greater.
However, he had only seen a wisp pass by just now, which was easy to capture. If several wisps came over at the same time, then he would have to choose one.
But as long as that gap was still there, presumably more Pure Essence would continue to fall from it, so there was no need to be too burdened, as that would only hinder his own Spirit.
After waiting attentively for a long time, it suddenly seemed that two more wisps of essence appeared, this time one strong and one weak. He immediately understood in his heart that Pure Essence was not all the same as what he had just consumed, but each was different.
Because the weaker wisp was too small compared to what he had just seen, it had almost no presence. Therefore, he directly ignored it and wrapped the full wisp with his Spirit, then tilted his head back and swallowed it directly into his stomach.
This time, perhaps due to accumulation, or perhaps because this wisp was stronger than the last one he had consumed, the effect he felt was slightly stronger than the last time.
If he compared himself to a deep pool of water, then obtaining this Pure Essence was like light shining in, dyeing certain parts of the pool with the color of light. However, only a little had entered now, not enough to illuminate everything, so he needed to draw in and swallow more in order to make this essence bright and clear inside and out.
At the same time, on Qingding Mountain, Chu An was also fully searching for Pure Essence, but he had spent a long time without any harvest.
Just as a hint of doubt arose in his heart, suddenly, he felt as if something had floated past, and he immediately used the Skills taught by the old man to capture it.
However, this light stream seemed as illusory as light smoke, formless and without substance, and almost leaked out of his Spirit, which had not yet solidified.
Fortunately, the Spirit Skills he had learned had their own way of dealing with it. After transferring it, he barely restrained it, and then hurriedly sucked it in with force. For a moment, he felt as if he had sucked some cool air into his body, and couldn't help but shiver.
He opened his eyes and said with slight excitement, "teacher, I seem to have captured Pure Essence."
"You've captured it?"
The old man nodded. "Pure Essence was called Jade Purity Ambrosia in old times," and was also called "Flowing Soul Elixir", which can harmonize the inside and outside and purify your Spirit and flesh.
Needless to say, if it is accumulated for a long time, it can also strengthen the mysteries of your physical body. Words are not enough to fully describe it, you can understand it yourself.
Chu An's expression moved slightly. Although teacher had said so much, he always felt that something was missing. There were benefits, but it didn't seem so magical.
Thinking that it might be because he didn't master the knack at the beginning, and the Pure Essence he obtained didn't seem to be much, it might take a larger amount to feel it.
So he composed his mind, straightened his posture, emptied himself, and continued to search.
However, in the following time, he didn't seem to have the same luck as the first time, and there was no harvest for a long time.
The old man was a little surprised to see that he still had no reaction. "Why, haven't you sensed it yet?"
Chu An nodded.
"That shouldn't be."
Chu An hesitated for a moment. "It's also possible that it leaked past, and the student failed to capture it in time."
The old man nodded slowly, which was very possible.
It was very likely that his disciple's Spirit cultivation was shallow, causing a lot of Pure Essence to leak past.
The fact that his disciple can feel these now is due to Mother Split's reproduction, which led to the opening of Heavenly Gate, but in terms of true foundation, there is still some insufficiency.
If one's SpiritCultivation reaches the point of perfection, especially entering the level of Spiritual Perception, then there is no need for any Skills at all. At this moment, one only needs to pay a little attention to easily capture Pure Essence.
In fact, it is better to use Pure Essence at that time, and it is also more beneficial to self-improvement, because if the Spirit is insufficient, the essence of Pure Essence may not be completely absorbed.
But Pure Essence is quite rare. Except for the allocation from above, or some channels of Convergence Zone, there is almost no way to obtain it.
So now it is not a question of whether it is appropriate, but first of all whether it exists. Once an opportunity appears, one must try to get it by any means.
He thought for a while, let it leak if it leaks. Fortunately, no one should be competing with him now. If he finds it, it is his own. Besides, it is also possible that the crack has just been torn open, and there should not be much Pure Essence coming out.
He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was 6:17 now. Looking at the current situation, the opening of Heavenly Gate is likely to continue until tomorrow, and they have plenty of time.
At the same time, on the east coast of Central City, several airships passed through the towering buildings of Central City and flew towards Ferris Wheel Corporation in Luminous Dew District.
In the sky, large swaths of insect clouds were dispersed, densely packed and dancing, and the buzzing sound was drowned out by the sound of propeller blades.
At the same time, hundreds of ground response troops were also advancing along the streets towards here under the leadership of a number of vanguard armed vehicles, forming an encirclement of the entire protruding peninsula when viewed from the sky.
This is most of the mobile Strength that Processing Bureau, Ministry of Defense, and Government Affairs Hall can currently provide, including several Martial Artist approaching the limit of the Third Limit.
Xu Chan led the command team to the top floor of a temporarily requisitioned tall building. He walked a few steps to the edge of the floor and looked at the opposite side.
The huge Ferris Wheel came into view first, followed by the Ferris Wheel Corporation Building standing there. The top of the Building had eaves in the old timesOuter Ocean style, and the whole body was white, and the surface was covered with decorations of gilded mythical beasts.
This building is right in front of the Ferris Wheel, and it seems to support the entire Ferris Wheel.
Although it was night at this moment, the opening of Heavenly Gate made the front look like daytime. Scarlet rays of light were spread horizontally on Sea surface, intertwined with clouds and mist. Gusts of sea breeze blew from the opposite side, driving the clothes and hair of the people here backwards.
Xu Chan looked carefully for a while. A lot of solid fortifications can be seen on the periphery of Ferris Wheel Corporation. If it weren't for the fact that some of the Security guard troops inside were wiped out, and there were not enough manpower to defend the opposite side at present, it would really be difficult to fight.
Ferris Wheel Corporation also noticed the movement on the periphery at this moment.
Guan Shangjing watched a large force surround him here. How could he not know what had happened? He immediately activated the internal emergency signal and called all the remaining Companysecurity personnel into various defensive facilities.
At the same time, he informed the Board of Directors of the situation here and his judgment, and requested further instructions.
At this moment, in the internal conference hall of Ferris Wheel Corporation, several directors staying in Company were holding a meeting.
Everyone's expression was extremely solemn, because the long-awaited news from the sea finally came back.
What they waited for was unbelievable news, Company's fleet was defeated, and almost the entire army was wiped out.
One director clenched his fists, staring at the deputy with a face full of cold sweat and despair, and squeezed his voice out of his teeth, "Is the news certain?"
The deputy hurriedly straightened his body and responded loudly: "Report, the news is true. It was brought back by the airship that escaped, and someone witnessed one of our damaged Yuanshan-class battleships being chased by Sea Dragon Company's airship, it should be reality."
There was dead silence in the conference room.
Ten years of hard work were wiped out in one day.
One director then said loudly: "We haven't lost yet, we have sent out the Security guard troops, as long as we seize Split Offspring, we can still get Union's recognition!"
Another director gritted his teeth and said: "This news must not be leaked. Before we seize Split Offspring, it must not be leaked!"
The defeat of the fleet made them unable to open up sea routes anymore, and even Linax Federation might abandon them.
"Gentlemen, there is no need to be so pessimistic."
The director sitting in the chair of the meeting now looks relatively calm. Said: "If there is no us, Linax Federation will no longer have any interests in Outer Ocean, so even if we lose, they will not abandon us..."
He glanced at the directors present, "Because besides us, they have no choice, unless they are willing to see their flanks completely exposed to Great Shun Government without any cover, so we just need to make sure we can get..."
As he spoke, a series of harsh alarms sounded inside Company, and everyone's faces changed when they heard it.
Director Yingwei immediately contacted Guan Shangjing and asked with a serious expression: " Guan Shangsupervisor, what happened?"
After a while, he raised his head under the gaze of all the directors present, and then clicked on Boundary Token. After a while, a light curtain fell above the conference table, showing the scene outside at this moment.
The directors present couldn't help but widen their eyes, their eyes filled with bewilderment, anger and fear.
Looking at the airships flying in the sky and the armed personnel surrounding them, they didn't know what was happening?
Director Yingwei said in a deep voice: "The Security guard troops we sent out should have been wiped out.
Gentlemen, it is time to make a decision."
