Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 315: Depart at 314

Ying Hui extended his hand, and a streak of golden light flashed past, shooting towards Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai felt a surge of pale Primordial Spirit power rise within him, grabbing hold of the golden light.

The reflection of the golden light revealed a flying sword, appearing crystal-like with golden aura flowing through it like water streams.

It was indeed the Chengying Sword after its magical upgrade—a self-moving Gengjin flying sword.

Ying Hui introduced, "It retains the original sword embryo of Chengying, to which we added Taibai Gold Sand, Star Stones, and 21 other precious materials. On top of Chengying’s original runes, we also incorporated 180 third-realm runes. That’s how this self-moving Gengjin flying sword was crafted."

"However, because of this, the flying sword now cannot be fully activated without Primordial Spirit power of over 3000 points."

"Moreover, since it’s a flying sword, don’t forget to conduct Primordial Spirit Refining on it. You’ve learned how to refine with your Primordial Spirit, haven’t you?"

"Mm, Master She taught me," Zhou Bai replied, controlling the Primordial Spirit power to rotate the flying sword, able to see the faintly visible runes flashing beneath the crystal material.

Zhou Bai spoke in his mind, "Tina, come refine this flying sword."

Because flying swords belong to the long-range category of attacks, often operating beyond the range of Primordial Spirit power, Primordial Spirit Refining came into existence to prevent swords from being seized.

Primordial Spirit power, unique to the Primordial Spirit, requires continuous output from the Primordial Spirit to be maintained. Only after reaching the fourth realm and further strengthening the Primordial Spirit, one could ensure the power remains temporarily even when detached from the Primordial Spirit.

However, when the Heavenly Dao was distorted in the past, one could conduct Primordial Spirit Emergence, attaching to the flying sword, thus freely traveling vast distances for assassinations.

But now, with the twisting of the Heavenly Dao, there’s the risk of abnormalities during Primordial Spirit Emergence, so the method of using flying swords has also changed, turning to the art of Primordial Spirit Refining.

The so-called art of Primordial Spirit Refining is to infuse part of the Primordial Spirit power into the flying sword, using special materials and runes to allow the infused Primordial Spirit power to exist for an extended period after leaving the body.

Although the runes and the structure of the flying sword still require over 3000 points of Primordial Spirit power to activate, this allows cultivators at the third realm to possess the capability for long-range control of flying swords. The only requirement is to refine the flying sword daily by infusing it with Primordial Spirit power.

Of course, this flying sword range still cannot compare to the distances managed when the Heavenly Dao allowed Primordial Spirit Emergence to remotely control swords.

Nevertheless, being at the third realm, one could increase the combat range of the flying sword to over 300 meters, a distance that can continuously rise with the improvement of one’s cultivation level.

Christina asked, "Is it alright for me to refine this flying sword? Aren’t you using it to train with the Tianhe Star Explosion sword technique?"

Zhou Bai replied, "It’s fine. The sword contains techniques and extraterrestrial forces I’ve infused, and combined with the 500-meter reach of the Tianhe Star Explosion, I can control it even without Primordial Spirit Refining. After you refine it, both of us can remotely control this self-moving Gengjin flying sword over long distances. Within 300 meters, the flying sword can exert the power of both of us simultaneously."

Christina then began to refine the flying sword with her Primordial Spirit.

Meanwhile, Zhou Bai turned his attention to the results of his ten-day reclusive training.

Ten consecutive days without pause, nearly without any sleep, he persevered solely through extraordinary food and his body’s resilience.

Nevertheless, it brought a bountiful outcome, allowing Zhou Bai’s laziness value to break through the one million mark, and he finally completed the last star point "Decay Disaster" of the frailty figure.

Observing his own Sea of Consciousness, Zhou Bai saw that the Primordial Spirit, which had already assimilated with the Taiyin Roulette and combined with the divine figure, was undergoing a tremendous change.

Zhou Bai could clearly see a pale figure that resembled him sitting in the center of the Sea of Consciousness. Inside the figure’s belly, a tiny roulette spun incessantly, and on it were the star points of the Catastrophe Figures.

"Is this the Catastrophe Primordial Spirit?" Zhou Bai pondered inwardly, "I haven’t opened the new Catastrophe Domain yet, and I don’t know what kind of power the Guihai Black Demon will have."

"But no matter what, I shouldn’t need to use this in the forthcoming competition between the four schools. They are just a bunch of kids. With my current Primordial Spirit power, physical quality combined with the Tianhe Star Explosion sword, it should be enough to defeat them."

A moment later, the sword refining was complete, and Zhou Bai joined Ying Hui on a flying car, heading toward Beihai City.

The flying car zoomed northward at supersonic speeds, crossing countless wildernesses, forests, and rivers. Soon they saw the land beneath them beginning to exhibit snow accumulation, until everything was blanketed in white, presenting before Zhou Bai an expanse of snowfields.

When the flying car gradually slowed down, what appeared before Zhou Bai was an endless range of mountains. Enjoy new chapters from novelbuddy

Looking down at the snow-capped mountains with curiosity, Zhou Bai asked, "Why have we stopped? Are we there? I don’t see a city."

Ying Hui gave a slight smile and steered the flying car downward. "Beihai City isn’t like Donghua City; it’s an underground city."

Zhou Bai exclaimed, "An underground city?"

As the car descended towards the mountain range, it navigated turns left and right before arriving at a brightly lit checkpoint. They stepped off the flying car and were greeted by several soldiers.

Ying Hui introduced himself, "I’m Ying Hui from Donghua Dao School, and this is my student, Zhou Bai. We are here to participate in the competition between the four schools."

What followed were identity verifications and physical and mental checks. Once they were confirmed to be problem-free, Ying Hui and Zhou Bai, led by the soldiers, entered an elevator.

The elevator they took was surrounded by clear, transparent glass, offering a view. At first, they could only see dark layers of rock, but as they descended a few dozen meters, the rock layers vanished from their sights, revealing an incredibly vast underground world.

The entire underground space seemed like it had been hollowed out, with skyscrapers rising before their eyes. All around them on the rocky walls were elevators moving swiftly up and down, while above the walls, artificial lighting made the whole space as bright as day.

Ying Hui explained, "The entirety of Beihai City is an underground fortress carved down to 1500 meters below the surface, divided into seven major levels. Each level is akin to a separate city. What you’re seeing now is the first level."

Zhou Bai, amazed by the scene outside, thought to himself, "What immense effort and resources must have been spent here. If this place were sold, it might be even more expensive than Donghua City."

Ying Hui continued, "The competition between the four schools officially starts in four days. I’ll take you to our resting place first. All the students from the special training class have come to participate and watch the competition, and the principal has also arrived."

"Zhou Bai, I know you’re very powerful, but the competition is a team event. It’s not something one person can win alone. You must cooperate with your fellow students."

Zhou Bai nodded and then asked, "By the way, where is Meng Ruocun? Has she returned?"

Ying Hui was slightly taken aback and shook his head, "Meng Ruocun will not be participating in this competition between the four schools."
