Chapter 46
Chapter 46 The Fate
Time passed fast, and it had been two months since Wang Bugui escaped from the restricted area. Now, the Ancient Forest and Deep Lake had already been covered with a gravitational field of up to a thousand pounds. Wang Bugui worked hard to cultivate during the period of time. Yun Jinghong also, for the first time, personally guided a disciple. He blurted out his own understanding of the three limits that Wang Bugui had learned, as well as the predecessors’, to lead Wang Bugui to a new road of himself.
Being lost in cultivation, he finally got a small achievement over the maximal speed. Now, it only took him at most one hour to run around the Pure Land for three laps. Dressed in black, he passed the Pure Land like a gust of wind, and the surrounding things seemed to be retreating fast.
He arrived at the Ancient Forest again. The gravitational field here was now failing to bring him too much pressure, but it just influenced his speed a little slower. He swept through tens of trees like a gust of black wind, and then bounced into the sky on an old tree.
Meanwhile, he activated his prana power to spread all over his body, and released it all at the next stop, which enabled him to get to the other side of the Ancient Forest in a flash. When his agile dragon-like body landed, once again, he would rush to the distance with the help of impact. Just as he was three hundred meters away from the exit of Ancient Forest, he speeded up again, and dashed a hundred and fifty meters in merely three seconds.
Suddenly at this moment, his muscles in legs instantly became a bit larger, and then tightened. Like a humanoid black arrow, he whistled through the forest in a blink, and arrived at the Deep Lake.
“Boom!”
He made a small pit in front of the lake. Brows knitted, he stared at the lake, and then close his eyes, releasing his prana blood.
The gravity here was even heavier. When the prana power was all accumulated around his feet, he abruptly opened his eyes, and leaped out to the middle of the lake in an instant. However, the gravitational field could not drag him into the water. Instead, he released his blood vigour to get rid of the strict of the gravity, and became highly concentrated at the same moment.
Just as he stepped on the surface of the water, he suddenly accelerated to the extreme and rushed across, causing a strong spray. Occasionally when his speed slowed down on the way, he would immediately heavily kick the surface of the water to bounce toward the distant Stone Forest, and then passed the Deep Lake without any other stops. What a quick improvement! A month ago, he had to swim to pass the lake, for he would fall into the water after at most two or three steps. But now he could rush across it.
He maintained this speed and continued to run around the Pure Land, and stopped an hour later when he had run for three laps. He came to the Jade Stair to meditate and restore his energy, preparing to start the most difficult training of the maximal speed. Yun Jinghong had intended to let Wang Bugui start that some time later, but after returning from the restricted area, he asked Wang Bugui to train at the Jade Stair every day.
Wang Bugui was highly concentrated to stare at the steps, and prepared for the challenge by mobilizing his prana blood all over the body. He suddenly rushed on it, leaving a strong wind. But his speed began to slow down by half at the first step. He managed to pass the first step under the burden of a weight of 500 kilograms.
Then he moved on to the second step where he was subjected to a weight of 1,000 kilograms. He still got it passed at one fling. When he was at the third step, he suffered a weight of 1,500 kilograms, and he clenched his teeth, persisting to pass it. On the fourth step, the weight rose to 2,000 kilograms, which almost slammed him down. However, at the crucial moment, he utilized all his effort to get it done. But when he stepped on the fifth step, he was hit out of the stairs in only two seconds.
“Ah!”
With a bang, he slammed into the ground, spread-eagled and with gasps. To be deprived of cultivation on the Jade Stair was suffering, and to have such progress within two months was uneasy. He had moved one step ahead of a few days ago, and there were only five steps to overcome to reach the requirements of the medium stage. He cheered for in his heart and then slowly got up to meditate.
“Now I have made the small achievement of the maximal speed, and I must gain the fate of the edge of the restricted area!” Confidence spread over Wang Bugui’s face. He determined to win the fate, and not to live up to Yun Jinghong’s injury for him.
After mediation for an hour, Wang Buigui headed for the restricted area. On the way, he picked up a few grasses of herbs, ate two grasses, and then received the rest in his pocket. He believed that since the fate was good for cultivation, but then its test would be difficult. Facing with the incomplete array immortal spirit, even Yun Jionghong would suffer a loss. Wang Bugui knew that the test to prove whether he was a stunning talent would be a barrier to all geniuses, even if it was placed in ancient times.
Therefore, in the face of such a test, he must be fully prepared with more than one final resort, and he must go all out at the beginning. The surrounding scenery slowly receded, and the old trees that caught the eye gradually became rich, and the gravity heavier.
After dozens of steps, a stone tablet appeared in front of him. There were only two words engraved on it: Restricted Area. These two words were too scarlet and bright, just like condensed with a lot of blood, fresh blood still.
“Good, you are here. Come to the cliff.”
Just as Wang Bugui entered the restricted area, a voice came over from the distance. He saw a light group on the cliff from afar. It should be the spirit of the array. Without too much consideration, he ran towards the cliff. Now the gravity here couldn’t hold him back. After these two months, he was unable to accommodate the gravity of all areas except for the cliff.
“Oh, good, you not only adapt yourself to the peripheral gravity, but also the gravity of the cliff.” The spirit of the array seemed to be gratified that the pendant’s words were not false.
“I will definitely take the fate! Start the test now!” said Wang Bugui firmly.
“In fact, my test is not difficult. As long as you can successfully arrive at the cliff top, you will pass the test. Let me see your ability,” replied the spirit of the array.
“You will know!” Wang Bugui said back.
“Well, then here we go. The time limit is half an hour. Getting to the top of the cliff means you pass the test.” The spirit of the array chuckled. As its voice just fell, a gold light was emitted from the cliff, and the gravity increased a little.
“Ah!”
With a shout, Wang Bugui resorted to the Endless Golden Body Manifestation as a protection, so that the sudden stronger gravity did not cause any obstacle to him. Then he tried his best to make a jump. The ground suddenly cracked and he jumped to a height of more than ten meters. But after nearly two seconds, a dozen beams of golden power suddenly appeared and rushed to him from all the directions.
The number of beams of power was exactly the height of his jumping. Wang Bugui made punches to defend. He just tried to explore with his body energy. But after familiar with the power, he resorted to the Blood Sea Surge Fist to smash a few beams of the golden light, letting them disappear into the cliff. After that, he made continuous heavy kicks to kill the rest beams of power, and only one was left existing. Then he took advantage of the power to activate his prana blood, and perished all the golden power.
“Boom!”
When he leaped to a higher place, a golden heavenly sword broke out of the sky, and rushed to him in clangs with a strong sword power.
The heavenly sword cut through the sky, leaving a golden rainbow. Indifferent, Wang Bugui calmly turned aside to escape, and grabbed the cliff rocks. The sword failed to hit him at first try, so it made the second attack toward his waist.
“Sure enough, it’s not that simple!”
Slightly browning, Wang Bugui flipped to avoid, and then mobilized his prana blood to resort to the Blood Sea Surge Fist. The violent prana blood smashed the sword directly. Then, he jumped to the cliff by the force of blood released. In just a few seconds, he had taken dozens of steps forward, and passed half way.
However, the test was far more than those. After the half-way, a dozen of heavenly swords appeared, smashing toward him, which was almost an all-round attack.
“Humph!”
With a snort, Wang Bugui resorted to the magical martial art of the maximal speed. The moves and patterns spun in his mind, then he chose the most suitable one to display to escape the net woven by the heavenly swords. But still he didn’t manage to avoid a few handles of the heavenly swords, and took them all with his body protected by the Endless Golden Body Manifestation.
Though lightly injured, he did not delay, and he continued to rush after taking two grasses of the old herbs. The gravity once again increased as he was about to approach the top of the cliff. At this moment, he used all his energy, going all out to rush to the top of the cliff.
But all of a sudden, three black figures appeared in front of him. Two of them held a black sword, and another one a golden lance. They rushed to him one by one. He used the extreme speed to run the three-poles mystical skill, constantly changing his position to fight against them three.
The two long swords smashed toward him from the two sides. Wang Bugui raised his hand, punching on the right sword, and then made a round kick to resist the left one. At this time, the golden lance blocked him in the air, taking the opportunity that he got no time to make attacks again to smash to him.
“Ah!”
After a howl, he resorted to the Blood Sea Surge Fist to resist. His fist hit on the lance and caused clangs. Then he turned to the swords. After several dozens of rounds, he finally smashed the figure, as well as his lance, with the embryo Break Heaven Fist. Then the figure transformed into golden light and returned to the cliff. But then, he was hurt by nine beams of sword power, and a black sword even embedded in his shoulder.
“Come on!”
Ignoring his injury, he grabbed the black sword on his shoulder, and resorted to the Break Heaven Fist toward the enemy. The enemy was also defeated and turned into black light, melting into the cliff. The last enemy was beaten within 10 strokes, he paying the price of blood also.
Wang Bugui slightly browned, and after swallowing the last two grasses of old herbs, he gritted his teeth, continuing to climb the cliff. There must be more difficult obstacles in the last distance. However, he couldn’t hold on gradually. Excessive bloodshed blinded him. He clenched the rock wall and shook his head to wake himself.
“Only to ignite the blood can help me. No, I can’t fall down…”
He was forced to use the Blood Ignition Technique. There were four levels of that forbidden art, according to which, the blood-burning speed and the exchanged power were gradually increased. This time he resorted to the second level. His body gave out red light, and his veins were visible clearly. The next moment, he slammed the cliff and bounced highly. Suddenly, he was only nine meters away from the cliff top.
“Rumble!”
Given the last few seconds, he was about to succeed. But at the same time, golden lightning appeared and hit on him. He began to cough with blood, and fell down the cliff.
“No!!”
When he fell halfway up the cliff, he roared out, bearing the pain, and mobilized his prana blood. Suddenly, a golden and a red beam of power emerged and knitted together, helping him stop falling temporarily. Then, he resorted to the Enraged Dragon Turns Its Head to change his position and return to the cliff. Though covered with blood all over his body, he didn’t delay a simple second, and immediately grabbed the rock to bounce out. At the next stop, he used all his strength to take three big steps for the final dash.
Like a blood-stained golden arrow, he cut through the sky, and finally climbed to the top of the cliff. He saw a lot of purple flowers everywhere on the top of the cliff, surrounded by the purple aura. The spirit of the array turned into human shape from the light group and came towards him.
“Very good. The heavenly thunder is such a catastrophe, but you have come over it. You got my approval in all aspects of your talent, perseverance and timidity. You can be regarded as an amazing genius,” said the spirit of the array, smiling.
“Haha, the fate…” asked Wang Bugui with a sigh of relief and vague sight.
“Don’t worry, wait a moment,” smirked the spirit of the array. Then it waved his hand, and a five-colors grass came out. Like a jade, it shone with five-colors radiance.
“It is called the Dreamy Fairy Grass, a supreme treasure to train primordial spirit. Even in ancient times, the major cultivation sects would fight for it at any price. There is only one in the world, which was found before the God of War ascended to the heaven. Eating it with the Universe Spirit Blood Ginseng used for forging, you can get full quenching.”
The spirit of the array pointed at the Dreamy Fairy Grass, introducing, and then handed it over to Wang Bugui. He struggled to grab the grass, and before he tried to take a smile, he closed eyes and fell on the ground. The spirit of the array immediately sent him outside the restricted area, where Yun Jinghong had already been anxiously waiting for a long time.
“Hey, Bugui!” Seeing his disciple covered with blood all over his body, Yun Jinghong quickly rushed to pick him up. Seeing a faint smile on Wnag Bugui’s face, and the five-colors fairy grass in his arms, Yun Jinghong felt both comforted and sad.
He felt sad for the miserable life of his disciple who lost his family when he was only 12 years old, and now in great injuries. He felt comforted because his disciple had finally paid off in his daily hard work and had not lived up to anyone’s expectations, even gaining the recognition of the spirit of the array.
“Don’t worry. He’s fine. This is just a must test for a really amazing genius. Take him back to take the blood ginseng and the fairy grass. When he wakes up, he will have completed the second full remoulds, and his primordial spirit can also reach the Second State.”
The voice of the spirit of the array came from far away. Yun Jinghong instantly put away his emotions, and took Wang Bugui back to repair his wounded body.
