Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 15: Future Planning

Sigh...

Returning to reality, Yang Ning suddenly realized that he was lying on top of a grass carp that was over two meters long, with his whole body floating in the water.

Not only did he not feel his arms, but now he couldn't feel half of his waist either, and he couldn't even feel his legs!

"Could my spine be broken?" Yang Ning thought about the impact he received when jumping off the waterfall. Although he was a cultivator, he hadn't been practicing for long. How could he withstand the impact of a thousand-meter waterfall?

"By the way, how am I able to breathe underwater?" Yang Ning was always someone who could find joy in adversity. He quickly discovered that even though he didn't have gills, he could freely breathe underwater.

Moreover, he could control the grass carp beneath him, but not through language, but through another strange sensation, like a spiritual connection?

However, the grass carp had simple thoughts, and all Yang Ning could sense were a few emotions: tiredness, hunger, and a few others.

Was this the ability given to him by the Dragon Ball?

"Please get off at the next corner, thank you!" Yang Ning noticed a shallow bay ahead, with fine sand and lush water plants growing underwater. He could squat down inside and no one would be able to see him.

It's a good place to recuperate.

With a flick of its tail, the grass carp arrived at the spot in just a dozen seconds, and then it tilted its body, throwing Yang Ning off.

Fortunately, it was in the water. If it had been on land, he would probably have been injured even more.

"Where is this?" Yang Ning asked.

He was unconscious, but Deep Blue wasn't. It had been monitoring the surroundings all along.

"336 kilometers downstream from the waterfall."

"Great!" Yang Ning nodded. This place was good, not close to human settlements and a certain distance from the central area of Qinshan.

Finding a comfortable spot among the water plants, Yang Ning tried to repair his body.

He used the bioelectric control method. He couldn't sense his waist, abdomen, or thighs, but the ability he obtained from the Dragon Ball allowed him to sense the bioelectricity in these areas. Combined with the cell-level manipulation power from the Spirit Realm, he directly controlled the bioelectricity to stimulate the nerve cells near his spine and move the muscles and bones back into place.

Soon, he confirmed that his spine was indeed broken. If he were on Earth, he would have been paralyzed.

But this was the world of cultivators. After adjusting his spine, he took a Fasting Pill to absorb its medicinal power, and then used bioelectricity to stimulate the growth of bone cells near his spine. In just half an hour, the originally fractured area had healed!

He also had to thank his age for this. It was the time when his body was growing rapidly, and his cell and bone growth rate was extremely fast.

With his spine back in place, his lower body regained sensation. Yang Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to repair his arm.

His left arm had been twisted into a spiral by Tuo Buchuan, but it was only the muscles. Although the bones had turned, they hadn't broken.

He gritted his teeth and reset the bones first. The muscle problem was a minor issue.

No bioelectricity was needed. He punched a few times, allowing blood and qi to flow throughout his body. In no time, the dead cells were carried away through internal circulation.

That's why Yang Ning was wary of Tuo Buchuan but didn't hold much hatred towards him. The injuries caused by Tuo Buchuan seemed severe, but they were easily dealt with.

It was similar to a small cut on the thumb with a small knife on Earth.

On the other hand, Lin Tianheng had delayed his absorption of the Primordial Chaos Qi, which might prevent him from manifesting his Innate Divine Ability. That was the grudge that hindered his path!

After a series of operations, Yang Ning felt a significant depletion of energy in his body, and he was starving.

"Bring me some fish, big ones!"

With a command, the nearby fish swam over on their own.

Grass carp, carp, crucian carp, and even Professor Puff Pastry.

"This ability is really useful!" Looking at the large fish in front of him, each one over two meters long, and even three to five meters long, Yang Ning was somewhat surprised. No wonder the Dragon Race had such a big appetite and never starved. With a command, the fish lined up to be eaten. Even if their bodies died and rotted in the mud, as long as they had a mouth, they could survive, right?

Seeing how obedient these fish were, Yang Ning felt a bit guilty about eating them.

Not only did he have little conscience, but his body also didn't allow him to be picky. He could only choose a few large grass carp and let the others leave.

Placing his hand on the grass carp, he first manipulated the water flow to create a space, then with a flash of electricity, the grass carp was cooked in no time.

"It feels like having mastered superpowers." Yang Ning felt the sensation just now. Controlling the wind, clouds, thunder, and water seemed instinctual, only consuming physical strength and not much of it.

No wonder Dragon Balls are so precious. While others are still struggling with using their qi and blood, you can already use lightning, surpassing others by several eras!

Does the Gold Core of cultivators also have this effect?

Moreover, Yang Ning discovered that this was not just an improvement in combat power.

He had thought about using lightning for Body Tempering, but he would need to build a generator first. But now he could control lightning, so lightning Body Tempering could be put on the agenda directly!

In addition, there was also metallurgy.

Yang Ning was involved in technology, and technology cannot be separated from component processing. However, the casting equipment in the refining room was too primitive, and Yang Ning didn't want to give them more advanced equipment.

Now, with the control of lightning, he had the ability of lightning metallurgy. In the future, he could create any components just by using his hands.

Yang Ning also didn't forget that lightning is one of the four fundamental forces, the electromagnetic force. Among the four fundamental forces, the electromagnetic force, strong force, and weak force have already been unified and can be converted under certain conditions. Only gravity is missing.

If he could complete the unification of the four fundamental forces, he didn't know if he would become an immortal at that time, but at least he wouldn't be able to escape being a god of physics!

"This Dragon Race possesses the power of thunder, but they only use it to punish people. They're not very good! If I have the chance to encounter the Dragon Race, let me teach them how to properly play with lightning! Hmph!"

After eating and drinking his fill, Yang Ning canceled the control of water, and the surrounding river water immediately flowed back, covering Yang Ning directly.

Being stirred by the cold river water, Yang Ning, who was still somewhat excited, calmed down again.

Fortunately, his mentality had always been stable. Even with such a big event as transmigration, it was just a supreme Dao Technique, nothing more than a sprinkle of water!

"Controlling lightning, water, and qi, these abilities cannot be openly used. At least not until I have learned the corresponding techniques." Yang Ning didn't know if what Tuobu Chuan said was true or not, whether the development of book boys was really restricted. But being cautious was never wrong.

"Furthermore, I have to tell Ning Rong that what I teach her cannot be leaked!" Yang Ning thought of Ning Rong, who could potentially expose him.

But my reputation as a genius is already known. Suddenly becoming mediocre doesn't seem reasonable either.

How can I show my talent reasonably while making others not suspicious of me?

Yang Ning thought of the methods used by famous generals and ministers in ancient times, self-deprecation.

For example, Wang Jian was greedy for money, Xiao He was greedy for land, and Shi Shouxin was lustful.

It's worth learning from!

After all, one opponent is a genius who does nothing all day but focus on cultivation, and his cultivation level increases day by day.

The other opponent is also a genius, but he drinks and enjoys himself every day, indulging in lust.

If you were Lin Tianheng, which one would you tolerate more?

"No!" Yang Ning shook his head. Lust was fine, he had no interest in beauty, and lust is a poison for longevity.

Unless there is an emperor-level technique or a system that rewards multiple children, otherwise, this option is not worth considering.

Then, refining tools?

This can work. Research and development naturally require refining tools, and Extreme Eternal Sect also cultivates non-official disciples through refining tools and alchemy. It's a two-way street.

As long as I don't touch those offensive Dao Techniques, and only focus on refining tools, they naturally won't be suspicious of me.

After all, I don't need Extreme Eternal Sect's offensive Dao Techniques. I have the Azure Emperor's World-Shaking Fist, which is a top-notch offensive Dao Technique.

As long as my strength is strong enough, it's not impossible to snatch the techniques of Extreme Eternal Sect in the future.

"Oh, these days of cultivation can be put on hold. I should focus on practicing meditation!" Yang Ning thought that after Tuobu Chuan's death was discovered, these disciples might be called to confront Lin Tianheng.

Mind-reading and soul-searching, I don't know if they can do it. Even if they can't, charm-type techniques, micro-expression analysis, and heartbeat monitoring should not be difficult for Qi Refining cultivators. Being able to tell if someone is lying should be as clear as day to them!

"I need stronger mental cultivation to face all of this!"
