“The Unity of Man and Nature? Old Qin! Wait for me and Old Enz!”
The Lin Liqiang in the projection disappeared instantly. Even though they were people who focused on science, they would never give up the opportunity to enter The Unity of Man and Nature.
Qin Fen looked at Xue Tian, who had no sign of shock in his face, “The two masters…”
“Sure!” Xue Tian snapped his fingers and disappeared out the door. Only his voice was left echoing in the room, “I am going to find them, wait a moment.”
In just a few minutes, the small room was packed with a group of martial dao pros. If any one of them were to go out, it would be a jaw-dropping shock to the outsiders.
Normally, these pros were looked up upon as a towering mountain and brought shock as well as admiration to the people. Now, these pros were staring at Qin Fen with varying degrees of shock, like how one would stare at a monster.
Being able to become a pro like those in the Sacred Martial Hall’s heads of departments, they possessed all kinds of vast resources and had seen countless strange things, but they had never heard from anyone that someone could bring other people into the Unity of Man and Nature.
If this matter was not brought up by Qin Fen, who had always been steady, but from talkative Xue Tian instead, Ferrero would have already tapped Xue Tian’s shoulder and said to him, “Young man, when Mr. Wu Zun comes to look for you next time, I will say some good things on your behalf and ask him to go easy on you. You see, such a clever child is beaten by Mr. Wu Zun into someone so soft-headed, this is not a good thing.”
Now, this super big news that could shock people to death and resurrect them again, was actually passed by Qin Fen.
For a moment, Ferrero didn’t know whether to believe Qin Fen’s words or to suspect that Qin Fen remembered April Fool’s Day wrong.
“Let’s change to another place.” Qin Fen thought and said, “How about Saturn’s first mountain peak? The environment is pretty good there.”
Saturn’s first peak was no longer the first peak which was the Founding Society’s base. After Qin Fen fought with Nezha there, Saturn’s map merchants reaped a huge profit.
Saturn’s original second peak was now Saturn’s first peak. Apart from the slight difference between the height, there was almost no difference from the previous peak. There were only bare stones here with no soil nor green vegetation at all. In addition to the skin-scraping strong winds, no one would come to this place for sightseeing.
Quiet and accessible to nature.
Everyone stood on the top of the mountain, and there was a kind of inexpressible pleasure as they looked up and around the peak.
There was an old saying that said being at the top of Mount Tai was like being on the top of the world, and now at the top of Saturn’s first peak, everyone shared a similar feeling.
The strong wind blew at their clothes, making slapping sounds, and everyone shifted their attention back to Qin Fen. Everyone took the plane to come here, not to see the scenery, but for more important things.
Following everyone’s attention, Qin Fen quickly dry-coughed, “Simply said: everyone, put your hands on me later, then close your eyes. There is no need to think about anything. That’s all.”
“Hey…” Xue Tian shook his head and sighed while sitting cross-legged on the ground. He shook his head continuously as though he had to suffer a massive grievance, “Who knew that there would be a time in my life where I would have to touch a man?”
Lin Liqiang’s facial expression resonated the same feeling, and he smacked Xue Tian’s shoulder, “This thing must be kept secret.”
“Yeah, yeah, otherwise both of us, as the wisest of this era…”
Enzo Rota ignored the two clowns. He simply placed his hands on Qin Fen’s shoulder and preemptively occupied a position that was not too awkward.
Pa pa pa pa pa…
In a blink of an eye, Yang Lie, Ferrero, Sakra, Caesar, and the others extended their hands and stuck their wide palms on Qin Fen’s body, almost covering Qin Fen’s entire body.
Lin Ling landed slowly on the summit. As the last person to arrive, she had to follow the others to place her hand on Qin Fen’s body, but she realized that there was not much room left to place her palm.
Xue Tian seemed to be ready to watch a good show. He stared at Lin Ling’s exploring palms and guessed her landing position.
Lin Ling’s hand simply stretched out, and in the face of the few places on Qin Fen’s body able to fit her palm, her hand landed on Qin Fen’s palm.
As her cold, soft palm gently placed on Qin Fen’s palm, Lin Ling’s cheeks suddenly felt a little hot. On her emotionless face, there was a little doubt. Qin Fen’s palm is not some kind of Nine Sun Divine Art, why do my cheeks feel like they’re burning? The strangest part is my heartbeat. Why is there a sudden acceleration?
Qin Fen felt that Lin Ling’s palm changed slightly after the contact. He thought that this fearless woman was finally nervous at the moment of this huge event, and so he slightly gripped Lin Ling’s palm.
This grip caused Lin Ling to blush even more. She wanted to withdraw her hand but felt that she shouldn’t do so. Holding hands like this was a little weird.
“Don’t be nervous…” Qin Fen whispered, “I’m here…”
“Don’t be nervous, I’m here…”
Simple and usual words of concern echoed in Lin Ling’s mind for a long time. Her previous tension disappeared with Qin Fen’s reassurance.
Why? Lin Ling asked inexplicably, Master once said that people can only rely on themselves. Other than my own promise to myself, others’ promises are not guaranteed. Why do I believe Qin Fen’s promise?
“Well then, I am going to start…” Qin Fen slowly closed his eyes with some regrets in his heart. Since I have brought up this matter, it must be done quickly. It is a pity that Song Jia couldn’t make it in The Unity of Man and Nature realm this time, nor Zhao Huzi and my own disciple, Kyokushin Genichi.
There would always be regrets in life, and a life without regrets was not a real life. Qin Fen relaxed his mind and slowly let himself fall asleep.
The spiritual space was as dark as usual. Master looked at Qin Fen who entered the spiritual world and said, “Are you ready?”
“En.” Qin Fen nodded, “Although there are some regrets, I am ready.”
Master put his hands behind him and stared at Qin Fen’s eyes with a little more satisfaction. Despite his regrets, his mentality was still good. The previous two months of special training seemed to have given him a lot of progress.
“So…” The master came in front of Qin Fen with one step, and his five fingers turned in front of Qin Fen’s eyes. The spiritual space was filled with a variety of stars.
In an instant, Qin Fen felt like dust floating in the middle of the universe, surrounded by the endless universe of stars and planets.
In the next moment, countless stars in the sky blasted striking aurora at the same time. These rays, like a physical precious sword, pierced through Qin Fen’s body.
What is the meaning of a thousand arrows penetrating the heart? Qin Fen didn’t know about it before, but he finally understood at this moment. Even though numerous light rays penetrated into his body, the severe pain was still very unbearable even in this spiritual space.
All of sudden, Qin Fen raised his head high, his closed eyes suddenly opened, and he released a loud roar! This roar penetrated through the clouds and sun. The sound shook through the nine skies like thunder during a draught. In an instant, there was a Surge of the Brewing Storm in the sky! The strong wind turned into a hurricane, huge auras came from all sides of Saturn and even rushed from the universe’s sky to the top of the mountain through the atmospheric layer.
With Qin Fen’s roar, everyone felt the deep pain at that moment. It felt as if hundreds of millions of steel needles pierced through every inch of the body!
Everyone present was either a martial dao grandmaster or a great grandmaster. Everyone’s pain tolerance was first-class in this era, but no one could endure this. The pain seemed to burn everyone’s soul!
Everyone’s roars mixed with the Qin Fen’s and along with the roars, everyone’s thoughts seemed to be completely unified at this moment. They could feel each other’s body changes.
The severe pain caused everyone to forget everything! The true meaning of The Unity of Man and Nature, in the master’s point of view, was to forget everything and enter a certain state of enlightenment on the things in life.
The world’s most straightforward way to let a person forget everything was pain! A pain that hit straight into the bones, something that hurts even for a superb master! If you did not die from the pain, then congratulations! You have temporarily entered the counterfeit Unity of Man and Nature.
The wind was blowing and clouds were moving! The energy of heaven and earth ran through the sky, and everyone was so in pain that their hairs were stood straight up. They entered the most painful and longest realm of the Unity of Man and Nature.
There was no enlightenment, no other thoughts, and they couldn’t even feel the continuous surge of the true energy within the body. Everyone had only one feeling: pain!
A pain that made people wanted to turn over and roll on the ground while crying their heart out!
One second… two seconds… five seconds… ten seconds…
Master excitedly and nervously gripped his fists! His eyes stared at a stopwatch he simulated. This could be said to be the greatest masterpiece of his life, the extension of a millisecond was enough to make him inexplicably excited.
Twenty seconds… thirty seconds… Master was excited to the verge of tears. He never thought that they could actually hold on for more than thirty seconds…
Thirty-five seconds! The planet of the spiritual world, which shot millions of aurora, began to weaken rapidly.
“Unfortunately…” The master sighed while looking up to the sky. Unfortunately, this time, it only lasted for thirty-seven seconds.
The moment the master closed his eyes and sighed, the planets’ light rays that had already begun to dim started to brighten again gradually in the next second, as if it was suddenly charged by something.
“This… how is this possible?” The master stared at the occurrence which violated the research’s conventional reasonings, “How could this be?”
“Of course it should not! But I am here too! Master, I never thought we could meet again after so many years!”
A second figure of light walked out of nowhere. His body was like an iron tower. He still had the prestige of the Dragon-Tiger Movement while walking in the void, and he revealed a smile after meeting a long-lost friend.
“Arinacas!” The master stared at the sudden appearance of the visitor dazedly, “You…”
The man who was called Arinacas by the master raised his chin slightly and smiled proudly, “I am also a genius of Atlantis. You came up with this method, I can do the same! Of course, it was not as perfect as yours. I cannot store that many spiritual imprints into one heaven breaker level computer. Zong Juelu is indeed an incredible super-genius. He can put eight of such powerful imprints together.”
“You made an imprint by yourself?” The master smiled bitterly, “You are really lucky that Zong Juelu did not look for you. Of course, you don’t have to abide by the gambling agreement. We lost to him, so we could only be tied with him, waiting to see the so-called ultimate strength that is beyond himself.”
Arinacas put his hands behind him. His proud face showed a little sympathy, “Nobody asked you all to become the seven most powerful people in this era? As for me? Only my martial dao’s research level is comparable to yours, but my real strength is still slightly behind you. ”
“You…” Master’s doubtful expression was relieved and he smiled, “Are you in the body of this kid called Xue Tian? That explains everything! No wonder this kid gave me the feeling that he can improve even when he sleeps. However, he must also be a genius because he can always maintain the same level as Qin Fen with just you alone.”
“I am only responsible for guiding the way…” Arinacas shook his head again and again, “This world is sometimes unfair, everyone’s talent is different. I’ve rarely seen a talent like Xue Tian. Seriously speaking, his talent is even greater than you and the other six.”
“So what?” The master pouted, “Such a great talent, but isn’t it almost the same as Qin Fen’s strength?”
“Humph!” Arinacas sneered, “Qin Fen’s talent is not too bad, but to be precise, he should’ve been far worse than Xue Tian. However, this person has a special instinct in martial dao, and it was not his martial dao talent that gave rise to this special instinct, but his extreme concentration in learning martial arts instead. Any martial art can be deduced to extended usage in his hands. Of course! This is also inseparable from his foundation…”
Arinacas sneered, “You really need to thank the person who gave Qin Fen his foundation! I think before you got in touch with Qin Fen, he already had a deep foundation that he was not aware of.”
The master nodded. Qin Fen’s foundation was quite solid at the time. Not only was his Dragon Elephant Prajna Art deep-rooted, but more importantly, he had already seen thousands of fist techniques before he touched the metal ball. He had developed superior analysis skills, and the prolonged life of poverty had developed a more persistent and unyielding heart like no other!”
“I never thought that you would also come up with this method of simulated Unity of Man and Nature.” The master smiled with appreciation, “Plus, it’s via pain too! When my creation was about to end, you came and reignited it.”
“Yeah…” Arinacas shrugged and smiled, “I’m really surprised to see you again. However, the Unity of Man and Nature I simulated is coming to an end too. I don’t know when I will see you again.”
“There should be more opportunities.” Master looked at the disappearing Arinacas, “After so many years, I can still meet my old friend. What a wonderful day.”
Bang!
At the end of the Unity of Man and Nature, the mighty power exploded within everyone’s body. Saturn’s first peak which was under their backsides became the first place to be taken care of.
The massive power directly smashed the mountain into pieces! Saturn’s second peak, which became the first peak not long ago, disappeared again…
