I Am Shocked That You Call This Cultivation - Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Immortal!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Cultivation was a slow and steady process. It emphasized on the slow absorption of Spirit Qi, as well as the deep and steady breathing.

Chen Pingan was currently in such a state.

His body seemed to have gotten rid of all the restraints in the world and floated up as though he was rising to the surface of the sea. As the imaginary sea breeze blew over his body, the impurities in his body were removed and he felt refreshed.

In the next second, he suddenly felt like he had sunk to the bottom of the sea. Strangely, however, his body did not seem to be affected by gravity and he could wander freely at the bottom of the sea.

He even started imagining seaweed, colorful fish, and even… Spirit Qi.

The Spirit Qi floating in the air revealed its true form when it was at the bottom of the sea. It was crystal clear and had a mist-like quality. In fact, it was even better than mist.

More and more Spirit Qi sank to the bottom of the sea. The vast and boundless seabed was now filled with sparkling water vapor.

Chen Pingan subconsciously took a deep breath, wanting to absorb the Spirit Qi into his body. However, a corner of the mist at the bottom of the sea started to move.

When the Spirit Qi entered his nose, it felt cold and moist.

Chen Pingan took out a portion of his attention to control the Spirit Qi. Based on what he had learned from the diagrams in the book, he guided the Spirit Qi into the correct trajectory and allowed it to go through the process of entering the body.

“Did I succeed?!”

This time, the process was exceptionally smooth. The Spirit Qi entering his body was no longer rampaging everywhere like before. Instead, it obediently flowed in the right direction.

Part of it flowed into his Spirit Sea, while the other flowed into his meridians.

Chen Pingan’s furrowed brows relaxed. He checked his body and found no ruptured capillaries!

The Intermediate Level Compulsory Cultivation Lesson Book was indeed useful!

He continued to repeat the process for a very long time, until his body formed a habitual memory. Now, he didn’t need to control it, and the Spirit Qi would enter his body smoothly without any interruptions.

At this point, Chen Pingan simply let go and no longer tried to control his Spirit Qi. His body had already formed muscle memory, so he didn’t need to rely on his mental control at all.

He was completely immersed in the ocean of fantasy. He felt wonderful as he was immersed in the cold Spirit Qi.

In reality, Chen Pingan wasn’t hallucinating and was indeed submerged in the sea. It was just that he was submerged in a much bigger sea!

While Chen Pingan was cultivating, the outside world was in complete chaos!

A vast expanse of ocean appeared above Yang City, and dark blue waves swept through the entire city. Even the nearby cities were affected.

The moon hanging in the sky reflected the boundless ocean.

On the azure sea surface, everyone below the city was trapped. It gave everyone the illusion that the city had fallen to the bottom of the sea!

“Is this an illusion?”

A reporter who was standing by at the Xin Guang Residence accidentally saw the phenomenon in the sky and was shocked. He was dumbfounded and only spoke after a long time.

Ever since the two abnormal phenomena occurred, they had discovered that phenomena always appeared in the Xin Guang Residence. Hence, the reporter had decided to wait here. He wanted to be the first to discover the abnormal phenomenon and publish it on the internet before other newspaper companies in Yang City did.

Unexpectedly, he did not encounter a phenomenon above the Xin Guang Residence. Instead, he had come across a phenomenon that covered several cities.

It was as if they were in the underwater country of Atlantis. The other reporters were equally shocked.

They were shocked and wondered how this was possible.

The reporters looked at each other and saw the horror in each other’s eyes.

Then, when they looked at the vast ocean in the sky, they discovered that cracks had appeared on the calm seabed!

It was a huge crack!

“Look over there! There’s a streak of white light there! Is it splitting open?!”

A white light suddenly appeared on the azure seabed. It was very abrupt and conspicuous.

What exactly was that?

Everyone was surprised.

They stared fixedly at the sky mindlessly. At the moment, all of their attention had been attracted by the phenomenon in the sky.

At the center of the phenomenon, the white light gradually became brighter and wider. It was especially dazzling in the blue ocean, as if something was descending into the world!

“Hurry up and film it! This will definitely be reported as shocking news! Hurry up!” A bald man among the reporters slapped his forehead and shouted loudly.

The other reporters were startled and quickly regained their senses. The bald man was right. Once this piece of news was released tomorrow, it would definitely shock the entire province, no, the entire country!

Due to the fact that it was midnight, many of the residents in Yang City had already fallen asleep. Only a small number of people managed to witness the shocking phenomenon, which was several times more powerful than the two previous phenomena!

The reporters from a newspaper company in Yang City were all ecstatic, knowing that this phenomenon would be a hit. They couldn’t help but imagine what expressions people would have when they published this news online.

“This news will be extremely popular. Hurry up and film it so that we can post it tomorrow!”

The bald man spoke excitedly as he guided the other reporters to take photos of the phenomenon. The sea of white light was like an ink painting that was both shocking and breathtaking.

“This is probably the first time such a frightening abnormal phenomenon has appeared.”

“I wonder what realm the cultivating expert is at. Could it be that some mighty figure is transcending the Tribulation Stage and ascending?!”

A few reporters had already recovered from their shock. At this moment, they could only exclaim endlessly in admiration when they saw this exquisite scene.

The bald man admired the beauty of the phenomenon with a slightly regretful expression. “It’s a pity that the source of this phenomenon isn’t originating from the Xin Guang Residence. It looks like it’s coming from the Qin Kai Cultivation School.”

Just as his voice fell, the phenomenon in the sky changed again!

Everyone’s eyes were filled with shock at this moment. They couldn’t utter a single word of praise as their hearts were filled with shock!

At this moment, the sky seemed to have been split open. The dividing line became bigger and bigger as a sharp light appeared and a strange beast jumped out from the white light!

It was hard to tell whether this beast was a large bird or a large fish. But it was as if the beast had been hiding at the bottom of the sea for a long time and had been busy obtaining the purest nutrients between heaven and earth. Its energy appeared to be endless.

The birdlike fish beast was hundreds of miles long and it leaped around in the sky above Yang City. When the birdlike fish beast’s body rose, it covered the entire Yang City with its shadow. It was as terrifying as the apocalypse. In fact, its body was so big that it could easily destroy the entire Yang City!

“Could this be an ancient magical beast?!”

A reporter cried out in alarm. The appearance of this strange beast instantly disrupted the beautiful scene in the sky. Suddenly, everything seemed to come alive.

“I recognize it! It’s a Kun Peng!”

Another reporter was even more excited. He immediately recognized that the ancient beast in front of him was the Kun Peng recorded in “Free and Unrestrained”.

There was such a record in the book “Free and Unrestrained”: “There is a fish in the Northern Underworld, and its name is Kun. Kun is huge, and it is unknown how many thousands of miles its body covers. When it transforms into a bird, it becomes Peng. The back of a Peng also stretches for thousands of miles. When it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds that hang down from the sky. Peng is a bird and its fate is to migrate to the Heavenly Lake of the Southern Underworld.”

The ancient beast in front of them was almost exactly the same as what was recorded in the book!

“It really is a Kun Peng!”

The bald man’s memory gradually became clearer as he recalled the paragraphs in the “Free and Unrestrained” book.

Everyone became extremely excited.

What luck! To be able to capture such a terrifying phenomenon at such a close distance, the newspapers they publish tomorrow would definitely be sold out!

The previous two shocking phenomena were nothing compared to this!

“What could the expert responsible for this possibly be doing… If he’s only cultivating, then just how terrifying is this expert?”

What realm must he be at for him to be able to create such a magnificent phenomenon?

“Such a terrifying phenomenon… Could it be an immortal above the Tribulation Stage?”

The bald man gulped down his saliva with difficulty. The phenomenon that appeared today was on a completely different level from the previous two phenomena.

As soon as the phenomenon in Yang City appeared, even though it was still the middle of the night, people were being awakened one by one by their friends and family. The entire Yang City gradually became lively.

Qin Kai Cultivation School, the origin of the phenomenon, soon attracted countless reporters.

Everyone knew that such a magnificent phenomenon would definitely be the biggest news in history!

Meanwhile…

At Star City, a city near Yang City.

All of a sudden, the strange beast that had appeared in Yang City disappeared and reappeared above Star city.

In the clear blue sea, the ancient beast that looked like the legendary Kun Peng appeared!

The entire Star City was in an uproar!

After the previous phenomenon appeared, Star City had finally regained its calm. However, because of tonight’s underwater phenomenon and the Kun Peng that had descended from ancient times, Star City had fallen into another frenzy.

The legendary Kun Peng had reappeared!

How could they not go crazy?

“An Immortal among humans?!”

The citizens of Star City cried out loudly. Those who were at the Tribulation Stage and above were known as immortals. However, no one had ever seen any of these so-called immortals.

Perhaps there were such immortals around, but people tacitly agreed that after experts in the Tribulation Stage ascended to become immortals, they would ascend to the Immortal World.

This was what people traditionally thought.

However, such a terrifying phenomenon made them wonder if an immortal had appeared among them.

It wasn’t just Yang City and Star City that were affected. The Kun Peng also appeared above other neighboring cities!

Overnight, several cities exploded into an uproar, setting off an unprecedented wave of discussion!

Apart from the people who were deep asleep, there was another person who was unaware of everything that happened in the outside world.

That person was Chen Pingan.

He did not know how big of a commotion his simple cultivation had caused in the outside world. By now, the phenomenon had alarmed several cities and set off huge waves.

Chen Pingan was still immersed in his cultivation, comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth..
