Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 216 - 215 Outer Heaven Flying Sword Technique
Listening to the voice in his mind, Zuo Lu’s expression turned solemn as he respectfully said, "Master Deng, what should I do next?"
"Just stand over here, and I’ll proceed to comprehend this Nine Revolutions Flame Formation," the voice that was called Master Deng spoke unhurriedly.
"You needn’t worry about being discovered by others. I’ve used the Heavenly Demon Parasitic Technique to infect your Primordial Spirit, turning a part of your Primordial Spirit into me.
You are still yourself—it’s just that part of your spirit now possesses my personality and memories, and no one can detect it," continued the voice of Master Deng.
Speaking of which, he let out a cold huff, "However, this Heavenly Demon Parasitic Technique cannot be sustained for long. When I finally retract it, your Primordial Spirit will be greatly harmed, reducing at least by two thousand points in spirit value, and you will be so weak that you cannot cultivate for over half a year. Do you hold any resentment in your heart?"
"I dare not," Zuo Lu said in his heart. "To serve the Master is my fortune. As long as the Master can further comprehend the Dao and enhance his cultivation, adding to our chances of defeating the Heavenly Demon in the future, even if it means giving up all my cultivation, I am willing and content."
"Willing and content?" Master Deng chuckled. "Zuo Lu, do you know what I appreciate about you the most? It is this ability of yours to lie without a change in expression or a skip in your heartbeat, the attitude of stopping at nothing to achieve your goals."
Zuo Lu’s heart tightened, "My lord…"
"Alright, no need to explain. Your Primordial Spirit is after all your own. Even if it gets hurt in the end, the Twilight Taoist Skill that I’ve learned will still belong to you, which is a great benefit for you."
"Your Primordial Spirit is too weak, at most I can exert but a sliver of power to comprehend the array. From now on, do not speak. Completely relinquish control over your physical body and the power of your Primordial Spirit."
"Yes."
In the next moment, strands of Primordial Spirit power emerged from Zuo Lu’s body, followed by flames ascending on the platform, and countless array patterns emitting bright light, as if awakening from an ancient slumber.
A few teachers nearby who were also trying to comprehend the Great Black Flame Fire Dragon Formation on this fifth floor were all shocked by the scene: "So quickly?"
"How long has he been comprehending? And he can already move the array patterns?"
"A natural-born genius, truly a natural-born genius."
…
More than 8 hours later, Zhou Bai let out a long breath, "This ’All Techniques Nurture My Sword,’ I’ve finally managed to master it."
"However, after all, this is within a dream. It’s impossible to truly execute it, it’s only that I have learned it."
Zhou Bai thought to himself, "To truly unleash the power of ’All Techniques Nurture My Sword,’ I need to return to the real world, take a sword as the foundation, and keep inputting various swordsmanship. Only then will it become stronger and stronger."
"But in the real Material World, every time I use the Twilight Taoist Skill, I have to face the twisting effects of the Heavenly Dao, meaning the power of ’All Techniques Nurture My Sword’ is greatly weakened."
"However... I am different. I have the healing from my laziness points to eliminate the distortion effect. As long as I have enough laziness points, I can use the Twilight Taoist Skill without limit, and I can push the power of ’All Techniques Nurture My Sword’ to its peak."
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai felt a surge of excitement. He looked up at the time, 50:21:34.
"Let’s continue."
With a step forward, Zhou Bai arrived at the fourth layer under the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword, the Outer Heaven Flying Sword Technique.
And as Zhou Bai took this step, countless people also noticed the change in Zhou Bai.
Zheng Wentian’s eyes bulged, staring intently at the light screen in the sky, unable to muster the slightest desire to cultivate anymore: ’The fourth layer? Zhou Bai has already cultivated to the fourth layer?’
To know that Zheng Wentian, even with his overflowing confidence, only hoped to cultivate to the fourth layer before the 72 hours were up.
But the allotted time wasn’t even halfway through when Zhou Bai stepped into the fourth layer.
At this very moment, Zheng Wentian felt as though his self-esteem was being mercilessly trampled upon, especially when he thought of the thousands of points Zhou Bai owed him, making his heart even more uncomfortable, as if it were bleeding.
On the other side, Liu Bingxin watched the screen in the sky, her eyes fixated on Zhou Bai’s name, gradually revealing a look of admiration and envy.
Despite her reluctance and being continuously defeated by Zhou Bai, as a natural-born Sword Cultivator, Liu Bingxin held admiration and respect for those who had gone further on the path of Sword Dao.
Especially since she herself had taken more than 20 hours to reach the 48th Stele of the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source, she was well aware of the difficulty involved.
...
In the real world, many teachers watching the screen also noticed the changes in Zhou Bai.
"He’s reached the fourth level!" Ying Hui exclaimed, more excited than if he had made the progress himself, "I told you Zhou Bai could do it. Look! He’s already at the fourth level, who’s to say he won’t reach the fifth or even the sixth level by the end?"
Beside him, Snake Teacher pursed his lips, worriedly watching Liu Bingxin. He was concerned that his favorite student would be negatively influenced by Zhou Bai and lose her momentum.
Kuang Tu helplessly said, "Alright, alright, we get it. Zhou Bai is amazing. But honestly, what really surprises me is Zuo Lu."
Hearing this, the other teachers also nodded silently and looked towards Zuo Lu’s name, which had now appeared at the sixth layer of the Great Black Flame Fire Dragon Formation.
’Zuo Lu is actually this amazing?’ Tina was equally astonished, ’If this keeps up, could he reach the seventh, or even eighth layer before the 72 hours are up?’
’But that’s just about it. No matter how well one practices the Twilight Taoist Skill, without mastering the true Supreme Divine Power, one is nothing more than a slightly larger ant in front of a Heavenly Demon or an Immortal God.’
Just then, Zhao Shouyi burst into hearty laughter: "Chongyang has begun."

Everyone quickly turned their gaze toward Lv Chongyang’s name, and saw that in a brief flash, he had arrived at the fifth level of the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword.
But more than ten seconds later, another flash occurred, and he reached the sixth level of the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword.
"What? Skipping two levels?!" Kuang Tu exclaimed, "How did he do that?"
The faces of the other teachers also displayed shock. The Twilight Taoist Skill, ranking below the five Supreme Divine Powers, had each level of cultivation fraught with extreme difficulty. Yet now someone had managed to skip not just one, but two levels?
Snake Teacher, also a practitioner of swordsmanship, had his eyes shine with excitement: "Impressive, Lv Chongyang. Who would have thought that after all these years of silence, you’ve been preparing for the Twilight Taoist Skill? This 72-hour continuous cultivation session allowed you to truly soar."
"What exactly is happening?" Kuang Tu inquired, "Why can he skip two levels at once?"
"What else could it be?" said Snake Teacher, "Obviously when he was on the fourth layer, not only did he perfect the Outer Heaven Flying Sword Technique of that level, but he also prematurely grasped and mastered the Clustered Stars Sword Technique of the fifth layer. These two levels are intrinsically connected, echoing one another. However, being able to achieve this speaks volumes about Lv Chongyang’s talent and realm in the Sword Dao."
Ying Hui softly added, "I still think Zhou Bai is more impressive. Both Lv Chongyang and Zuo Lu are at the fifth realm. They already improved their talents in the third realm, possessing photographic memories and multitasking abilities, with their Primordial Spirits finely controlled. Upon reaching the fifth realm, they even condensed their Dao Fetus.
Their talents have been elevated repeatedly, unlike Zhou Bai; Zhou Bai is raw jade."
However, not many were paying attention to his words; they were all watching the changes on the screen, anticipating if anyone would come closer to the five Supreme Divine Powers.
On the other side, within the pit of flesh and blood, Christina, controlling Zhou Bai’s body, didn’t dare to move an inch, thinking to herself as she heard their conversation: ’Heh, a bunch of fools. Zhou Bai hasn’t even used the Lazy Energy Value yet. Wait until he does, it’ll scare you to death.’
’But lying here like this is so boring.’
’And Zhou Bai’s body is feeling a stronger and stronger urge to urinate, damn it... It’s so uncomfortable... and I can’t even get up to help him relieve himself.’
