Chapter 735: Chapter 21: Comprehending Top-Level Earth Palace Skill, Kunyuan Academy’s Recruitment!_5

"Huan Tian, you shouldn’t get involved. Your illusion technique won’t do much here."

"Woof!"

The Mountain Cat and the Gray Lion Dog, one using fire and the other using thunder, quickly blasted a cave into the rocky mountain.

Zhao Xing watched the surroundings warily. Seeing no one appear despite the commotion, he guessed that there really was no one around.

So he let the three combat beasts rest inside while he continued to burrow into the earth to observe the Jiyuan Palace.

"Jiyuan Palace."

Upon entering the earth, Zhao Xing was involuntarily drawn to the palace’s shadowy illusion.

Although he had been studying it for more than six days, each time he looked, he felt something different.

The perfect Earth Palace structure, built upon the earth veins, circulated and flowed.

Each brick and tile, when observed closely, seemed to flow like water, circulating in endless cycles. Each piece appeared to be a whirlpool within the flow of water.

The existence of these whirlpools was fleeting, vanishing in an instant.

They seemed nonexistent, yet remarkably smooth.

Then they re-emerged from another location.

"Compared to the Endless Palace, it had no sense of constraint or oppression."

"But it seemed to pull my Dantian, causing my primordial energy to naturally escape in that direction."

"I used the Gathering Essence Technique to lock it tight, but I could only delay the time by double. I couldn’t completely stop the energy from dissipating because its pull on the energy was too profound."

Zhao Xing pointed a finger, casting the Endless Palace Technique above the Jiyuan Palace.

"Buzz~"

The Endless Palace was established on the earth veins, while the Jiyuan Palace seemed to be inside the veins.

If the earth veins were rivers, the Jiyuan Palace would be beneath the rivers while the Endless Palace was on the surface.

Their utilization of the earth veins was on different levels.

"The Endless Palace is grand and heavy, while the Jiyuan Palace has no large concept and seems to be everywhere."

"The binding power of the Endless Palace could clearly show the fluctuations of the earth veins, also being influenced by the environment. In places with strong earth veins, the power of the Endless Palace became stronger, while in places with weak veins, its power diminished."

"In terms of distance, my Endless Palace could affect enemies within a thousand meters above, but its power weakened greatly beyond that. Below a thousand meters, the closer to the ground, the stronger the binding force."

"The Jiyuan Palace had a consistently powerful energy absorption effect, whether on the ground or ten thousand meters high, almost akin to the ultimate principle of heaven and earth."

Zhao Xing didn’t expect to master the ’Jiyuan Palace’ while contemplating this Earth Palace Skill.

Because at that moment, the Jiyuan Palace wasn’t meant to be learned or cultivated.

It was impossible to learn a top-level Earth Palace Skill just by observing how others used it.

Zhao Xing used his knowledge of the Endless Palace Technique as a reference, attempting to make improvements.

The top-level Skill, Jiyuan Palace, and the Endless Palace had similarities. When Zhao Xing developed the Earth Palace Domain, he could prevent others from absorbing any primordial energy, though he couldn’t absorb others’ energy.

The Jiyuan Palace had no oppressive force yet could absorb energy.

At that point, there was no magic technique for cultivation; he could only observe and improve his Endless Palace Technique.

Just like Feng Qiu back in the day, who practiced the Wind Skill to ’Middle Order Eleven Turns,’ despite it not being a high-order skill, it possessed some high-order properties.

Like Old Minister of Agriculture, Xue Wenzhong, although only a Ninth Grade Minister of Agriculture, could summon Three-foot Heavenly Thunder and gather clouds in his palm. His Dao hadn’t made a substantive breakthrough, but his ’skill’ had reached a higher display.

"Transform!" freewёbnoνel-com

Zhao Xing pointed, causing the Endless Palace to start crumbling, making the earth veins flow again, dismantling the palace.

Then, Zhao Xing began to reconstruct the basic structure of the Endless Palace from a deep level, mimicking his recent insights.

"Buzz~"

Soon, a new Endless Palace appeared, a tenth the size of the previous one.

Zhao Xing felt that this Endless Palace only had seventy percent of its former power. His changes had actually lowered the spell’s potential.

"Split!"

Zhao Xing once again caused the Earth Palace Skill to crumble and tried again, modeling the whirlpool structures of the Jiyuan Palace within the basic frameworks of the tiles and beams.

With each attempt, sometimes the Endless Palace Technique failed, other times the power diminished. Occasionally, the binding force weakened, but a new effect occurred, spitting out a jet of Earth Fire.

"Boom~"

In the cave, the Gray Lion, Mountain Cat, and Spiritual Illusion Goat found themselves buried under debris and dust.

"Woof woof!"

The Gray Lion emerged from the sand, while the Mountain Cat shook off the dust.

"Baa!" The goat bleated pitifully, having lost a patch of fur to a sudden burst of Earth Fire, and then taken a big rock to the head.

"Woof woof!" The Gray Lion Dog walked over and gestured for it to stay under its belly.

As for the Mountain Cat, it protected the food supplies, rolling up the crate.

...

Time flew, and soon it was the twenty-seventh day of the Grand Arena.

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

The deadly fog already reached the rocky mountains.

Wherever the poisonous fog went, even stone corroded, turning to sand.

Its advance was much faster than on the first day.

"Awooo~"

The Xiao Tian Dog howled as it watched the cave begin to disintegrate, calling out to Zhao Xing to report the danger.

The toxic mist was less than ten meters away. If they didn’t move now, they would have to face it head-on.

The Gray Lion’s intuition told it that being enveloped by the poisonous fog would be extremely dangerous.

"It’s coming! Head east!"

Zhao Xing’s figure emerged from the ground.
