Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 101: Thunderous Roar of the Sky

Staring at the Heavenly Human Sensing for a while, Zhong Cang vaguely realized something.

"Could it be because of the Rhythm of All Things?"

The talent of Rhythm of All Things allows Zhong Cang to sense the fluctuations of all things in the world. Although Zhong Cang has always used this talent to observe the weaknesses of his enemies through their weak rhythms, upon careful consideration, sensing the fluctuations of all things is essentially a different form of Heavenly Human Sensing.

Since it is used more frequently, it can be advanced to perfection... That makes sense.

"Huh... As I thought, I didn't miss anything."

With a reasonable explanation in mind, Zhong Cang relaxed and once again placed his hand on the true meaning stone tablet of Eternal Fall of the Heavens, receiving the cultivation method for the third level.

This time, there was a lot of information, and it took a bit longer.

However, after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Zhong Cang understood everything.

At the same time, he also understood the cultivation method and goal of this level.

"Heavenly Human Sensing."

"First realm, Unity of Human and Sword; second realm, Proficiency in Heavenly Human Sensing; third realm, Mastery in Heavenly Human Sensing... The difficulty of cultivating this sword technique is not lower than that of the Ignorant Heart Sword Art."

The so-called Sensing refers to moving perception.

Heavenly Human Sensing allows one to come into contact with and comprehend the senses of the natural world, understanding the true meaning of all things in nature.

Of course, in the state of mastery, Zhong Cang is not able to replace the perception of all things with his own senses.

He only needs to connect with one of the natural objects in the world.

At the same time, it is best if this natural object is related to wind, rain, or thunder, as the sky is synonymous with the heavens, and wind, rain, and thunder are the closest things to the sky.

Understanding all this, Zhong Cang also knew how to cultivate this Rank One stage.

For ordinary cultivators who want to connect themselves with the inspiration of wind, rain, and thunder, they would have to go to the mountains every day, experiencing the wind and rain, and silently contemplating the rhythm of wind, rain, and thunder.

Only when a flash of inspiration occurs, giving them the feeling of becoming autumn wind or gentle rain, can their cultivation be considered successful.

Such luck and comprehension are also the reasons why Zhong Cang said that the difficulty of cultivating this technique is not lower than that of the Ignorant Heart Sword Art.

Of course, for others, cultivation is difficult, but for Zhong Cang, it is much simpler.

He doesn't need to comprehend wind, rain, and thunder. Zhong Cang simply activates the Rhythm of All Things... No, in Eternal Fall of the Heavens, this move should be called Heavenly Human Sensing.

"Buzz..."

As the Heavenly Human Sensing was activated, instantly, all things around him emitted a wave of fluctuations that Zhong Cang sensed.

This time, Zhong Cang did not follow the rhythm to sense the weaknesses of the surrounding objects. Instead, he tried to merge his own consciousness with the rhythm of the wind, earth, rocks, stone tablets, and other objects.

This sensing and merging lasted for the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, and when everything was over, Zhong Cang... naturally didn't sense anything.

If Heavenly Human Sensing were so simple, then the disciples of the sect would have all possessed this technique a long time ago.

And the strength of the Cloud Firmament Sect would not be one of the major sects in the North Abyss Region, but the top sect in the North Abyss Region.

Zhong Cang had long anticipated the difficulty of cultivating this technique and didn't expect to comprehend it in one go.

But it didn't matter, the attribute panel would intervene.

"Ding, you have performed one Heavenly Human Sensing, increasing the proficiency of Eternal Fall of the Heavens by 1. Due to your cultivation of the technique reaching the second realm of perfection, you have now broken through to the third realm..."

Well, the attribute panel didn't make any sound. It was just Zhong Cang's own mental sound in his sea of consciousness.

But one thing is true, after Zhong Cang performed the Heavenly Human Sensing, there was indeed a slight increase in the proficiency of Eternal Fall of the Heavens on the attribute panel.

And because Zhong Cang had cultivated Eternal Fall of the Heavens to the second realm of perfection, this increase allowed him to enter the state of mastery in the third realm.

Although Eternal Fall of the Heavens requires the cultivator to comprehend Heavenly Human Sensing in order to enter the third realm, this logic is consistent with the attribute panel... When a technique crosses a major realm, Zhong Cang will have a major enlightenment.

And now is no exception.

And this enlightenment, without a doubt, is related to Heavenly Human Sensing.

"Buzz..."

Zhong Cang could feel himself entering a state of enlightenment, recalling his experiences fighting alongside Maple Flower and Thunderclap.

He also remembered the experiences of rising with the wind, creating the Wind Sword Technique, comprehending the spells Call the Wind, Summon the Rain, and Palm Containing Five Thunders...

These experiences greatly increased Zhong Cang's understanding of wind and thunder, and he could feel his spiritual awareness becoming extremely active in this state of enlightenment.

In this state, as long as he wanted to, he could merge with the wind and thunder at any time and achieve Heavenly Human resonance.

Without any fancy moves, Zhong Cang quietly contemplated the wind and thunder. When he realized that he could only resonate with one element, he decisively chose thunder without hesitation.

The reason for choosing thunder instead of the more familiar wind was because the might of thunder was naturally stronger.

"Buzz..."

It took Zhong Cang the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to comprehend thunder.

When everything was over, Zhong Cang touched the True Intent Stele once again and obtained the cultivation method for the fourth level of Eternal Fall of the Heavens.

Just as Zhong Cang sensed during his enlightenment, this level required him to comprehend wind, rain, and thunder completely.

What made Zhong Cang weary was that this was not the end.

In addition to comprehension, he also had to forge the wind, rain, and thunder into the Sword of Celestial Phenomenon.

"So, becoming a Grandmaster of the Four Realms is just the beginning?"

This situation left Zhong Cang speechless, but fortunately, he only needed to practice and didn't have to think too much.

Heaven Rewards Diligence would lend a hand.

After noting down the cultivation method for the fourth level of Eternal Fall of the Heavens, Zhong Cang went to the side and recorded the cultivation method for the fourth level of the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram.

Recording numerous pieces of information consecutively made Zhong Cang's head ache. At the first opportunity, he returned to his cultivation hut and fell into a deep sleep.

Before falling asleep, the only thought in Zhong Cang's mind regarding his many gains from entering the Flowing Light Grotto-Heaven was, "I've really struck it big this time. After ten or so days, when I advance to become a Grandmaster of the Five Beasts Infusion Technique and obtain the Five Elements Cycle, I will be able to fully learn the technique of the third realm of the Five Spirits Sealing Palm. At that time, my journey to the Flowing Light Grotto-Heaven will be complete."

Zhong Cang was extremely satisfied with his journey to the Flowing Light Grotto-Heaven.

Even if he didn't succeed in finding a master, the current gains before him made him ecstatic.

However, the sleeping Zhong Cang would not know which would come first, the surprise or the unexpected.

He wanted to peacefully cultivate until the end, preferably advancing his cultivation by one level during the ten-to-one time ratio of the Flowing Light Grotto-Heaven.

That way, he would have more confidence in competing with the other disciples of the sect.

But, this idea would ultimately be in vain.

While he slept, the people outside were busy.

"Boom..."

A loud noise suddenly came from the sky.

This sound was incredibly grand!

The vast and boundless North Abyss Region, which spanned billions of miles, actually heard this sound throughout its entire domain.

Even the other regions heard the loud noise.

This sound came from the extremely high and distant sky. Otherwise, just the immense sound alone would be enough to plow through the ground and annihilate mortals.

Even now, many mortals were frightened by this vast sound and fell to the ground, kowtowing incessantly.

This sound not only affected the outside world.

Zhong Cang inside the Flowing Light Grotto-Heaven also heard this sound and was awakened by the loud noise.

Subsequently, he realized that the entire Flowing Light Grotto-Heaven was shaking.

This shaking gave the Grotto-Heaven a collapsing feeling, which was unsettling. Even Zhong Cang, who possessed the Sword Heart, narrowed his eyes.

"!?!"

"What's going on?"

"Has someone breached the sect?"
