Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 785: Capturing Shadows as Essence

The airship was above the sea. Chen Chuan stood alone on the terrace, feeling the movement of the airship beneath him, while his eyes stared at the magnificent night sky that seemed to immerse one in it.

From a fighter's perspective, the vortex in the sky became more obvious, but it was a little erratic, as if blocked outside by an invisible layer. However, the force on the opposite side seemed to be constantly pressing in, trying to break through this thin barrier, and there were signs that it was getting closer and closer.

The big collision is approaching relentlessly, and sooner or later the two worlds will collide completely.

One of his previous goals was to reach the fourth limit before the big impact, and only now did he have some ability to protect himself before it came.

After a while, he looked in a certain direction again. It was the direction of the White Bird District. Although it was too far away to see anything, the fighter from the Linax Federation should be there.

Perhaps, we will have a chance to communicate this time.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze, walked back, said hello to the old captain, and returned to the cabin.

After arriving at the cabin, he closed the door, stood in the middle, drew out the Xuejun Sword, and slashed it down. In an instant, a crack as high as a person appeared in front of him, and a dazzling light shone through it.

The practice in this section is about the true form and the spiritual form. However, he is still not very clear about how to practice specifically. He asked Hongfu, but the Jibei Dao Wuyi College has almost no knowledge in this area. However, he is not in a hurry because both the government and the Pure Sect have channels to obtain it.

His body is still in the process of transformation, so he doesn't need to do these for the time being. He just needs to use his spiritual power to communicate with another world and bring in more energy as a supplement.

He put the Xuejun Sword aside and sat down in front of the crack.

Because of the biological field surrounding him within dozens of meters, it is almost an independent space. No one can get a glimpse of the truth inside before penetrating his field.

The biggest advantage of this is that if something comes from the opposite side, he can deal with it in time without alerting the outside world.

He was currently practicing the method of Taibaijingguan that Master Xue taught him, but he could feel that some of it was too conservative, so he made some adjustments.

There is a reason why fighters are given this title. Due to their spiritual elevation, they can deeply understand the role and essence of some methods and skills, and make them more suitable for themselves. Almost every fighter will walk a path that is unique to him.

Originally, his spirit had been communicating with the other side, and energy was being absorbed almost all the time, but there was always a layer of obstruction. However, before the crack, under the guidance of his improved method, this layer of obstruction seemed to disappear in an instant, and a large amount of energy fell on him along with the dazzling light.

He absorbed all of this energy and stored it in his body.

At this moment, the transformation of his body depends on the subsequent supply of energy on the one hand, and on the upper limit of the transformation that his body can withstand on the other.

Because he has made a breakthrough with an unprecedented foundation, his upper limit is obviously higher, more energy is required, and he may have to fight against people of the same strength, so it is always better to accumulate more energy.

After becoming a fighter, the body is completely different from that of an ordinary person. The alienated tissue is able to store a large amount of energy in the body and transfer it for use when needed.

This seemed to be somewhat similar to the Furnace Breathing Technique. He suspected that the Furnace Breathing Technique was probably created with reference to some alienated tissues and body structures of fighters.

After being immersed in practice for about half an hour, he suddenly smelled a strong fragrance. Looking up, he saw a vague black shadow on the ground of the crack. He could not make out its specific shape, but he could see some vague and long whiskers draped over the edge of the crack.

Without that lost item as a cover, these things would inevitably come knocking on the door.

This fragrance actually emanates from the depths of his alienated tissue and spirit. It is his body telling him that what comes is useful to him.

Therefore, he complied with this demand. Without waiting for the thing to come over from the other side, he stood up, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the place where there was nothing. Suddenly, a series of sharp screams drilled into his mind.

Although he had nothing in his hands, he felt a strong sense of struggle in his mind and in the field.

But he remained unmoved and forcibly pulled the thing out. As it fell to his side, the originally invisible body turned into a half-real and half-virtual thing. It seemed to be a fluttering membrane wing, surrounded by densely packed dancing tentacles.

After bringing this thing in front of him, the fragrance became even stronger, and the alien organization seemed to have begun to urge him. Chen Chuan ignored the noisy screams, held the center of the thing with both hands, and then exerted force, and with a swish, he tore it into two pieces, and then large pieces of gold-like things leaked out.

However, due to the influence of his biological field, these things did not fall to the ground, but floated in the air. Under the light, they seemed to be surrounded by a layer of golden mist.

Among them, there was one thing that immediately caught his attention. It was a crystal clear object like a fat ball, about the size of a fingertip, and most of the rich aroma emanated from it.

He reached out, took the thing with two fingers, and then swallowed it. After a while, the alienated tissues in various parts of his body responded with joy, and wanted to get more. Obviously, this thing was indeed what his body needed, but such a small amount seemed to be a drop in the bucket.

At this moment, Chen Chuan suddenly remembered what Principal Yao had said to him. Whether it was them or those beings in the opposite world, they were feeding on each other. It seemed that this was what he meant.

He looked at the crack. It seemed that in addition to spiritual practice, he could occasionally gain some extra benefits from splitting the crack. However, it also depended on how powerful the thing coming from the other side was. In other words, he could deal with the thing just now. If the thing coming was too powerful, then he might be the food of the other side.

But fortunately, this situation should not happen. After all, the ring curtain blocks the two worlds. Those overly powerful things cannot come through for a while, and even if they come, they will cause a huge noise. He has enough time to close the gap.

After dealing with this thing, he continued to sit down and practice.

The night passed like this and lasted until dawn.

However, he was only concerned with his own training, and the airship took a long time to land in the sky, giving people the impression that he was competing with another fighter from the Linax Federation. Otherwise, they really couldn't figure out why Chen Chuan took an airship to the sea at night. Apart from people who were also fighters, who else was worthy of his targeting and attention?

To outsiders, his actions seem to show that he is extremely tough. If you take a step forward, then I will take a step forward too. He doesn't care about any coercion or threats at all.

The most nervous party was the consortium, so they once again began to urge the municipal council to resolve the matter as soon as possible, otherwise they would have to seriously consider whether to continue their cooperation.

At this time, Mr. Long had already arrived at the checkpoint outside the central city and came within the coverage area. Then they immediately heard the news about Chen Chuan from the Municipal Council, and at the same time urged the pick-up personnel to move faster.

When Mr. Long heard the news, he laughed first, then commented: "It seems that this person is very enterprising."

The other people in the car were a little panicked and very enterprising, or in other words, very aggressive. So who knows what this person will do next?
The person in charge who came to pick up Mr. Long this time said solemnly: "Mr. Long, this time it all depends on you."

Mr. Long laughed again, then immediately restrained his expression and said coldly: "It is not a good idea to think that using a fighter to fight against another fighter can often make the opponents cautious of each other, because every fighter has different ideas. If you don't understand the opponent's situation, you don't know whether the opponent will go to extremes. Sometimes it will be regarded as a threat, which will lead to a more intense response.

In fact, wasn't the idea that Linax the fighter came up with earlier pretty good? You just need to give me the conditions, and you need to pay for inviting me, so why not give me enough benefits to appease him?"

"Mr. Long, it's not that we are reluctant to give it up, but we are worried. Due to the unequal power, it is difficult for us to believe the promises made by the other party. After all, the other party is on the side of the government, and the government has always been hostile to us. We are worried that even if we give the things away, we may still not be able to solve this problem. Here we need you, Mr. Long, to step in."

"Hahaha...well, your worries do have some truth to them."

Mr. Long thought for a moment and said, "I remember that the two members of the Purity Faction didn't enter the city last time, right? How about this, I won't enter the city this time. If you want to negotiate, it's best to invite them outside the city. Wait a minute..."

Everyone in the car looked over with puzzled eyes.

It seemed that because of the short interval between his words, Mr. Long only opened his mouth briefly and let out a short laugh before saying, "I'll go directly to him without going through you. Um, find a reliable client for me to contact the other party, and you don't have to intervene for the time being."

The others looked at each other and roughly understood what he meant. This might be that Mr. Long intended to talk to the other party as a fighter, rather than representing any party.

The person in charge immediately said, "Okay, Mr. Long, we'll arrange it for you."
