Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 280 - 279 I can fly now!
Feeling the conflict between the Primordial Dao Treasury and the auxiliary cultivation system, Zhou Bai naturally did not continue to allocate points. He saved all his laziness points well, planning to ask Jiaojiao to clarify many questions about the Primordial Dao Treasury after the cooldown time for the Time gemstone passed next week. Only then would he consider how to use this wave of laziness points.
So, for the next week, Zhou Bai would hang around during the day and cultivate at night.
His main focus of cultivation was the threefold Sword Intent: All Swords Broken by Me, All Living Beings Destroyed by Me, and All Stars Shattered by Me.
After all, the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword required the condensation of Galaxy Sword Energy to form the sword embryo, and Galaxy Sword Energy needed a balanced power among sword moves, sword weapons, and Sword Intent.
Zhou Bai’s sword moves and sword weapons had always been very powerful, but his Sword Intent was much weaker.
However, last time, after learning the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword, he received a thread of Sword Intent from Jiaojiao as a gift. Coupled with the daily pressure of high expectations, the speed of his Sword Intent cultivation had become incredibly fast.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed. Coupled with the previous week’s cultivation, Zhou Bai’s Sword Intent finally reached its peak, with 3000 points of Primordial Spirit power ready to be transformed into Sword Intent at any moment.
At this point, the powers of sword moves, sword weapons, and Sword Intent achieved a state of balance.
He sat cross-legged, gathering the powers of sword moves, sword weapons, and Sword Intent onto the sword shadow, condensing them into strands of Galaxy Sword Energy flowing into Zhou Bai’s sea of consciousness, continuously absorbed by the sword embryo within.
If the Galaxy Sword Energy condensed before was like fine drizzle, then now, after sword moves, sword weapons, and Sword Intent had all reached the peak of what Zhou Bai’s second realm could achieve,
the Galaxy Sword Energy condensed was like the mighty Yangtze River, rushing towards the sword embryo in Zhou Bai’s sea of consciousness, and the sword embryo crazily absorbed it.
Zhou Bai could feel the sword embryo within his sea of consciousness expanding at a rate visible to the naked eye, waves of gravitational fluctuations emanating from his body as the center, subtly dispersing around him, causing Zhou Bai and the matter beside him to float up.
However, he quickly regained control. After all, his practice of the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword had not been made public, so Zhou Bai did not reveal it to everyone in the training room.
But after feeling his control over gravity, Zhou Bai thought to himself, "Seems like I should be able to fly quickly now?" Thinking of this, Zhou Bai felt a bit excited, as this was his first true mastery of the ability to fly.
Previously, Zhou Bai could use Primordial Spirit force to lift himself up, but that was more floating than flying, unable to leave the ground too far without the support of Primordial Spirit force.
But now, by controlling gravity for flight, he could genuinely soar through the high skies.
He glanced at his fellow students; Xia Li and Jing Xiu had recently stepped into the first realm smoothly.
Among them, Jing Xiu followed the Heavenly Chart route, choosing the Spirit Healing Chart in the first realm, which could manipulate spiritual energy to supplement others’ bodies, accelerating the healing of injuries and the recovery of physical and Primordial Spirit power.
Xia Li took the ’Earth’ Chart route, mainly focusing on Arrays, and after the first realm, chose the Concealing Chart. With it, she could craft her own array flags, swiftly set up the Concealing Array—an Array that lacked offensive and defensive abilities but could be quickly deployed, effectively preventing the scanning of Primordial Spirit force and camouflaging the presence within the Array.
"Everyone is progressing," Zhou Bai sighed and continued to condense Galaxy Sword Energy, and then collected it with the sword embryo, constantly increasing the power of the sword embryo.
That night, after leaving the training room, Zhou Bai went to a secluded place, looked around, and focused his attention on a teaching building over two hundred meters away.
"The sword embryo can freely control the magnitude of gravity between any two objects, and can also reverse gravity. The stronger the power of the sword embryo, the stronger the gravitational force it can enhance or weaken."
As Zhou Bai intended, the sword embryo in his sea of consciousness trembled slightly, and the gravity between him and the earth was reversed directly, while the gravity towards the building increased frantically.
He shot up into the sky in an instant, flying towards the teaching building as fast as a running horse.
Zhou Bai laughed heartily, feeling the strong wind blowing past him, controlling the sword embryo to strengthen or weaken the gravity between himself and the trees, buildings, ground, man-made sky, and other things.
He looked like a mighty eagle soaring rapidly through the sky, darting around; a few times, he nearly crashed into a wall.
"This method of flying by controlling gravity needs a lot more practice—it feels completely different from moving on the ground."
"And because the power of the sword embryo is not strong enough, the flying speed is much slower than climbing on the ground, probably similar to a car going a hundred yards. It’s good for traveling, but not suitable for combat."
```
"However, using the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword directly in combat..."
Zhou Bai’s thoughts shifted slightly, and the sword seed trembled again, causing the surrounding grass and dust to fly back, then violently drawn inwards, and then they changed again, all sticking onto a single tree.
"It’s very useful, with the current strength of the sword seed, suddenly reversing and changing the gravity in battle is too helpful."
After practicing for a while, Zhou Bai gradually became more adept and flew at high speed along the artificial sky of the Dao School area to the location of the sky corridors.
This evening was also the time he had agreed to meet with Lin Muqing.
However, upon arrival, Zhou Bai felt a restlessness coursing through his heart, wanting to continue using the power of the sword seed to maintain the state of reversed gravity, which seemed to possess a magic that made him feel at peace...
After noticing the anomaly within himself, Zhou Bai immediately spent lazy energy points to start treatment, using over 200 lazy energy points before the restlessness in his heart disappeared.
"Indeed, using the Twilight Taoist Skill, the more you use it, the closer you get to madness and distortion. Lucky I have lazy energy points to cure it."
Upon seeing Lin Muqing, Zhou Bai immediately asked, "How about it? Can you arrange for me to get out?"
Although tomorrow the gemstone’s cooldown would be over, and he could ask Jiaojiao about the Primordial Dao Treasury,
Zhou Bai also planned to be prepared in advance and inquire if the Sky Flipping Sect could help him leave Donghua City as an additional option.
Lin Muqing rolled her eyes, "Mr. Zhou Bai, do you realize how much the principal values you now? You really..."
Zhou Bai: "I know, with my identity as a treasure of Donghua, it’s indeed hard to leave the Dao School on my own."
Lin Muqing smirked, "Zhou Bai, not to mention leaving Donghua City, even if you step out of Donghua Dao School, if someone sees you, they’ll report to the principal. You burn a ton or two extra of crap, and the Night Army has to file a report."
Zhou Bai asked, "Ah, I’m doing this for Donghua City. Let’s not talk about this, so there’s no way you can take me out?"
Lin Muqing: "Why do you insist on going out? Isn’t there the Four Schools Tournament in two months? If you stay obediently at school for these two months, eat well, drink well, and cultivate well, wouldn’t that be quite nice?"
Zhou Bai stroked his chin and didn’t answer Lin Muqing’s question, but suddenly said, "How about having Li Xiuzhu kidnap me?"
"That’s impossible." Lin Muqing patted Zhou Bai’s shoulder, "I think you should just stay in Donghua City properly, cultivate hard, and prepare for the Four Schools Tournament in two months."
Watching Lin Muqing walk away, Zhou Bai clenched his fist secretly, "So the Sky Flipping Sect won’t work?"
The next day the cooldown of the gemstone finally passed, but before going to Jiaojiao to ask about things, Zhou Bai made a trip to the library first.
There he was seen carrying away a large bag of martial arts and Taoist secret texts, all of which were the highest level of secret texts he could borrow with his current permissions.
He found that after the battle with the Heavenly Demon, his permissions had been raised again; he wasn’t sure whether it was because he had learned the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword or due to his outstanding performance in the battle against the Heavenly Demon. Although he was only at the second realm, he could now borrow texts meant for training in the third realm.
"It seems that after I mastered the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword, Jiaojiao and the others are quite confident in my ability, not afraid that I’ll go mad or become distorted, letting me see the third realm’s secret texts."
Carrying a large bag of secret texts, Zhou Bai went to see Jiaojiao.
Zuo Lu, who had come to comprehend the Twilight Taoist Skill today, was just leaving from the presence of the Grand Elder and couldn’t help but look curiously at Zhou Bai: ’Is Zhou Bai here to cultivate the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword again?’
So he followed Zhou Bai, wanting to see him practice the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword.
And he saw Zhou Bai lay out book after book of secret texts in front of the Grand Elder.
Jiaojiao’s voice reached Zhou Bai’s ear, "Zhou Bai, what are you doing here? Didn’t I say, unless you step into the fourth realm, you are not allowed to cultivate other Twilight Taoist Skills."

Zhou Bai waved his hand, "Elder, wait a moment, I will learn these secret texts first and then talk to you." Then he saw Zhou Bai activate his Primordial Spirit power, rapidly flipping through the secret texts before him, as if he was learning dozens of texts simultaneously.
