Chapter 183: God’s BlessingTranslator: Flying-Lines
The teenager who made a breakthrough was called Yun Zheng. Now, as the vigor around him surged, his spiritual energy roared, and his momentum raised steadily.
It could be seen that wisps of golden-rain-like luster curled upwards from the stone platform on which he sat cross-legged, which was rather beautiful.
Many drillmasters couldn’t help sighing on seeing such a scene. Golden Gang Qi turned into rain, which was a harbinger of the second-class Pond of Spiritual Power.
In other words, Yun Zheng, with the help of Gang-producing Lake, generated a second-class Pond of Spiritual Power, which was barely satisfactory.
It was well-known that Gang Spirit Realm was divided into three small realms, namely Human-gang Realm, Earth-gang Realm, and Heaven-gang Realm. A practitioner broke through into the Gang Spirit Realm meant that he reached the Human-gang Realm.
A Pond of Spiritual Power established in the Ocean of Qi was an indication of a breakthrough into the Human-gang Realm. After the breakthrough, the spiritual energy would be refined by Gang energy and turn into the Spiritual Gang Power.
Based on different qualities, Ponds of Spiritual Power were divided into three categories.
The first-class Ponds of Spiritual Power were collectively called “God’s Blessing”, indicating that such ponds were generated because of God’s Blessing.
Such kind of Pond of Spiritual Power could turn into different forms in different bodies. In the long history of thousands of years, the empire had witnessed the appearances of Fire-born Green Lotus, Ocean Coffin, Whirlwind Wings, Gold Tower, Sumeru Pearl…, all of which were the first-class.
A person in possession of such a Pond of Spiritual Power was always reputed as the genius which might not occur even in ten thousand years. Once making a breakthrough, one could surpass all the peers in the same realm in the cultivation foundation and power.
The second-class Ponds of Spiritual Power were collectively named “Spiritual Qi of Earth”. The special scene it presented was like the agglomeration of earth Qi. Like the “Golden-gang Rain” Yun Zheng generated when he made his breakthrough belonged to this category.
Someone who owned such a Pond of Spiritual Power was regarded as an outstanding talent who might not be found in in a thousand years.
The third-class ones were ordinary Ponds of Spiritual Power that were owned by the normal Human-gang practitioners. Ponds of Spiritual Power of most Human-gang practitioners in the world belonged to this category.
It was obvious to tell the big difference among the three categories of Pond of Spiritual Power.
Different categories of Pond of Spiritual Power meant different tracks of cultivation. The path, power, and the achievements obtained in the future were destined to be completely different.
Of course, there was nothing absolute in the world, but it was nearly impossible to make up the gap.
That was the significance of the Pond of Spiritual Power.
Yun Zheng, who generated the second-class Pond of Spiritual Power was destined to fall behind those who owned the first-class Pond of Spiritual Power in cultivation. And if he wanted to make bigger achievements, he had to put more effort into cultivation than others.
That was also why the drillmasters sighed.
Cultivation was like sailing against the current and competing with numerous boats. A nuance was like as far apart as heaven and earth!
As the experienced hands, these drillmasters naturally knew clearly about that.
“It’s not bad for him to generate the Golden-gang Rain. At least when he leaves the Bloodthirsty Camp, he is extraordinary enough. As long as he tries hard to cultivate, he’ll also become a big shot in the empire sooner or later.”
Cao Shiliu said gently, “We can’t expect too much. Compared with most of the practitioners in the world, the trainees in our camp are the top-notch elites.”
The other drillmasters all agreed with him.
Indeed, a practitioner with a second-class Pond of Spiritual Power was rather rare in the entire empire. Therefore, Yun Zheng was deemed very excellent.
However, he was quite mediocre compared with the other trainees in the Bloodthirsty Camp.
…
Not long after making the breakthrough, Yun Zheng came to himself from his cultivation. Having swept his eyes over the trainees who were still in their cultivation, he couldn’t help giving a bitter smile on thinking of his second-class Pond of Spiritual Power.
He failed to generate a first-class Pond of Spiritual Power even with the help of the Gang-producing Lake, which made him rather frustrated.
Shortly, a vortex appeared suddenly out of nowhere, involved him into itself, and took him out of the lake.
A few hours after Yun Zheng left, some trainees made breakthroughs in succession.
However, what made Shu Sanqi and the others disappointed was that no trainees generated the first-class Pond of Spiritual Power among those trainees yet.
All the trainees who had made breakthroughs generated the second-class Ponds of Spiritual Power.
Provided happening outside the camp, such a scene would definitely cause a great sensation, making numberless practitioners uproarious and astounded.
After all, the second-class Pond of Spiritual Power was already quite rare, and those who owned it were all one-in-a-thousand talents.
But to Shu Sanqi and others, this was nothing special and didn’t deserved any attention. After all, these trainees were quite extraordinary, plus they had the heaven-sent help of the Gang-producing Lake, it was abnormal if they could not generate the second-class Pond of Spiritual Power at least.
During the two days after Yun Zheng made a breakthrough, 13 trainees made breakthroughs successively.
Unfortunately, none of them generated the first-class Pond of Spiritual Power.
This made most drillmasters a little worried. Almost half of the trainees had made breakthroughs now, but none of them generated the first-class Pond of Spiritual Power, which was not a good sign.
Facing such a situation, even Shu Sanqi could only keep silent.
Compared with previous sessions, the number of qualified trainees entering the Gang-producing Lake in this session was much more.
As Shu Sanqi predicted, it could break the record if five or six of the 30 trainees could generate the first-class Pond of Spiritual Power.
Would this really happen?
Shu Sanqi wasn’t sure of it.
Soon three days ticked away.
The drillmasters gathering in the camp all felt a little tired. The long waiting had almost drained their patience.
Till now, 20 trainees had made breakthroughs, but all generated the second-class Pond of Spiritual Power.
In other words, ten trainees were left in Gang-producing Lake, who hadn’t made breakthroughs yet. However, how many of them could generate the first-class Pond of Spiritual Power?
No one dared to make assertions.
This was cultivation. Sometimes, there were unpredictable variables in those seemingly sure things.
The variables in cultivation were also called Luck.
With good Luck, even a pig could obtain the Spiritual Intelligence; with bad Luck, even the most outstanding talent would meet setbacks in life.
Against the backdrop of a depressing atmosphere, someone suddenly shouted, “Here it comes! Here it comes!”
All the drillmasters felt shocked, and they immediately fixed their eyes on the huge optical screen reflected by the Spiritual Projector.
In the optical screen appeared Gong Ming who sat cross-legged on the stone platform. Over his head, dazzling rosy clouds emerged suddenly, got together, and finally became a funnel-like pagoda.
The rosy clouds turned into a pagoda like burning in the sky, illuminating the world!
The first-class Pond of Spiritual Power – Burning Pagoda!
Shu Sanqi and the others were all amazed. The Burning Pagoda was merely a name, but actually it referred to the pagoda-like Pond of Spiritual Power generated by Gong Ming. Inside of it was a wisp of innate spiritual fire. In cultivation, it could supply miraculous effect!
This was the first Pond of Spiritual Power reputed as “God’s Blessing”. Like a gift from God, it was filled with unimaginably mysterious power.
“Since he was born in the Gong’s Family nicknamed ‘Tumbler’s’, the Manual of Burning Turtles he’s practicing perfectly fits the Pond of Spiritual Power he generated. It’s so amazing,” someone exclaimed.
Just at the moment, someone else made a breakthrough in Gang-producing Lake. The moment he made a breakthrough, the thunder surged, the lightning was everywhere, and the momentum was earth-shaking.
It was Ning Meng!
He also made a breakthrough at the moment. Moreover, based on the abnormal phenomenon he caused, he also had generated the first-class Pond of Spiritual Power.
Shu Sanqi and the other drillmasters felt surprised again. They could see clearly that the thunder and lightning in the sky interwove into a book-like form.
What was it?
Most drillmasters felt confused, for they couldn’t recall what kind of Pond of Spiritual Power could represent such an abnormal phenomenon.
Shu Sanqi said after keeping silent for a while, “It should be ‘Sutra of Spiritual Thunder’! If my speculation is right, this kind of Pond of Spiritual Power hasn’t appeared for hundreds of years.”
All the people felt extremely shocked.
Gong Ming’s Burning Pagoda and Ning Meng’s Sutra of Spiritual Thunder appeared in succession. Besides, they all belonged to the first-class Pond of Spiritual Power. This was really a rare thing.
However, this wasn’t over. Shortly after Ning Meng made a breakthrough, Shi Yu, Ouyang Zhun, a boy, and Meng Xiulin, a girl, broke through into the Human-gang Realm at the same time!
Instantly, three completely different scenes appeared in the sky.
Silvery tides were waving like the Milky Way.
Clear and translucent flowers were blooming in the sky.
A majestic blue eagle spread its wings and roared in the sky.
The three scenes stood for three totally different first-class Ponds of Spiritual Power!
“Tidal Milky Way! Bodhi Flower! Blue Eagle!”
Shu Sanqi and other drillmasters were completely stunned by the scenes with their pupils dilated. Everything happened so fast that their eyes were fully occupied.
They didn’t see one single first-class Pond of Spiritual Power in the past few days. However, now five first-class Ponds of Spiritual Power appeared consecutively in one fell swoop!
More importantly, each of them was rarely seen in the world.
This alone was enough to astonish the empire, cause a stir in the world, and make countless practitioners uproarious!
However, it didn’t end yet!
There were still five trainees who hadn’t made breakthroughs, among whom Lin Xun, Bai Lingshi, and Lee Duxing were the most high-profile!
“According to the current situation, the trainees who possess the first-class Pond of Spiritual Power are bound to set a new record!” some drillmasters exclaimed.
The others also thought so. That was for sure. There were at most five trainees in possession of the first-class Pond of Spiritual Power in the past. However, five trainees had already generated the first-class Pond of Spiritual Power now, and the five left would be destined to obtain the first-class.
Therefore, setting a new record was beyond all doubt.
