Instructions Before Departure (Seeking Monthly Votes)
A curious feeling.
As Chen Chu slowly flew down from several thousand meters in the sky, he felt as if he was a fish in water, as if he was born to "fly."
This sense of fulfillment is one of the hallmarks of the eighth level of heaven.
Gathered from the cultivator's essence, spirit, and martial arts, when breaking through the seventh level of heaven, the interaction between heaven and earth granted a "real" true martial illusion, which is actually another type of the spirit of heaven and earth.
Bestowed by heaven and earth, being in harmony with the world allowed the cultivator to mobilize the energy of heaven and earth, amplifying their strength by several times.
In this scenario, as the cultivator broke through to the eighth level, their body naturally fused with the true martial illusion, thus possessing the characteristics of innate spirit.
Looking at Chen Chu, who descended from the sky and landed not far away, Ji Wuji, dressed in white and with a sturdy and resolute physique, exclaimed, "Junior Chen's talent... is admirable."
Facing Chen Chu's talent, who was in the first year and had condensed a four-form world at the eighth level, even Ji Wuji felt ashamed.
Although he was interrupted every time he was about to show off, the other party's talent was unparalleled in his life, even more exaggerated than those innate awakened descendants of kings.
Chen Chu humbly replied, "Senior Ji, you're not bad either. Breaking through to the eighth level before graduation is not something anyone can do. If we look back ten years, there wouldn't be many in the entire Eastern Summer."
Chen Chu certainly did not overrate Qing Qiu Ming Hui, whom he met earlier as a descendant of royalty, who awakened bloodline power, and at the age of twenty was only at the late stage of the seventh level.
This trip to the ruins gathered nearly all the young geniuses of the federation, yet only five or six had broken through to the seventh level.
Moreover, Jia Baifina only broke through after entering the ruins.
However, Chen Chu felt that someone would achieve the ninth level this year.
That girl, whose talent was already against the heavens, obtained a sword array inheritance in the ruins and walked the path of a king, nearing the end of the heavenly king path.
Such talent, without Chen Chu, she would undoubtedly be the first, even Li Daoyi, an innate awakened one, would fall a bit short.
With this thought, Chen Chu looked into the distance, where An Fuqing, Xia Youhui, and others were looking this way.
Xia Youhui shouted, "A Chu, stop blowing smoke over there!"
Chen Chu couldn't help but smile, his foot moved, and he instantly appeared more than a hundred meters away. With another flash, he covered another hundred meters, arriving at the edge of the residential area in the blink of an eye.
The rune divine seed, ten times swiftness, made Chen Chu's speed even more astonishing.
In fact, this ten times is just a conceptual calculation. When the core rune coalesces into the divine seed, it transforms into a power similar to divine ability.
Just like when the Thunder Flame Emperor Dragon broke through to the eighth level, the talent, initially just muscle strength, condensed into a rune sequence chain.
At this moment, under the influence of this power, Chen Chu not only covered more than a hundred meters in a single step but also did not cause an air explosion or a rapidly generated shockwave.
The strength and defense of the rune divine seed were not simple enhancements; they formed an invisible divine ability that constantly reinforced him.
These instinctive divine abilities were effortlessly controlled by Chen Chu, avoiding situations like crushing chopsticks into powder while eating.
Lin Mei, who was beside Lin Xue, spoke first with a beaming smile, "Junior Chen, congratulations on breaking through to the eighth level!"
Chen Chu smiled, "This time, I'm just a step ahead. Senior Lin, your gains this time are also substantial; you might catch up in 'no time.'"
