Who Told Him To Cultivate Immortality!

Chapter 30 - Shrinking Earth to Inches

Three days later.

Lu Yang was dressed in a tight suit, his back ramrod straight. He had an excited smile on his face as he finally memorized the contents of the golden paper.

"Recite it once for me."

"A thousand miles of existence, at present, it will be relaxed..." Lu Yang recited smoothly without a pause. It was obvious that he had memorized the contents.

Yun Zhi nodded. The chant was rough, but each word contained great meaning. Reciting it consumed a lot of mental energy. Lu Yang being able to recite it to this extent was enough to prove that he had put in a lot of effort.

"This chant is a primer. When you are not familiar with the spell, reciting it in your heart will help you cast the spell successfully. When you are able to use Shrinking Earth to Inches, this chant will be useless."

"Shrinking Earth to Inches is a spatial spell. It is still early for you to practice it, but since you are Master's disciple, and Master learned this spell when he was at your level of cultivation, you may be able to do it too."

"The most important thing when practicing spatial spells is to pay attention to safety. Once the space is misaligned, you will end up with your head separated from your body and cut in half at the waist. There is an unwritten rule in the cultivation world that practicing spatial spells requires the guidance of an elder who is proficient in spatial spells."

Yun Zhi was rarely serious. Seeing this, Lu Yang stopped smiling and listened to Yun Zhi's lecture seriously.

"The principle of Shrinking Earth to Inches is to shrink the land to the size of an inch. The caster can easily cross an endless distance and arrive at another place. The more familiar you are with it, the larger the area of land you can shrink and the greater the distance you can cross. When you master it, no matter how big the Central Continent is, it will not be able to stop you."

"What you need to pay attention to is that practicing spatial spells requires understanding. You have never been in contact with spatial spells before, so you must be mentally prepared whether you succeed or not."

"Cultivators must remain calm and avoid great joys and sorrows."

Yun Zhiyan imparted her cultivation experience to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang nodded. He felt that Grand Senior Sister was the most qualified to say this. He had never seen Grand Senior Sister so emotional.

He was lacking in this aspect.

At first, Lu Yang saw that Grand Senior Sister always had the same expression and thought that she was emotionless. After interacting with her for a while, he realized that Grand Senior Sister had emotional fluctuations, just that they were too small.

Now, Lu Yang had a certain probability of judging Grand Senior Sister's mood from the subtle changes in her expression.

Like now... Hmm, he couldn't tell.

"Let me demonstrate it to you first."

Yun Zhi didn't know what Lu Yang was thinking. She threw a red flag to the top of the mountain. Before Lu Yang could see it clearly, she took a step forward and suddenly disappeared and reappeared with the red flag in her hand.

"That's it. After you succeed, practice a few more times and you'll be as proficient as me."

Lu Yang was stunned. He blinked, and blinked again.

What happened just now?

In Lu Yang's eyes, Yun Zhi seemed to have thrown out the red flag and then caught it back. He didn't even see if the red flag landed on the opposite mountain. There was no sign of magic being used at all.

Yun Zhi frowned, which was a rare sight. She remembered that when her master had taught her, he had shown her the same way. She had learned it in one try.

Yun Zhi was afraid that Lu Yang would not understand, so she demonstrated it again.

Thus, he threw down the flag, strode forward, and returned in a single breath. He was completely confused.

"…"

Sure enough, there were times when Big Senior Sister couldn't be relied on. He still had to rely on himself when it came to learning.

Lu Yang met Grand Senior Sister's gaze. This time, he could tell what she was feeling.

She was hoping that he could master it.

But Grand Senior Sister, you have to know that with your teaching skills, no one can master it.

Lu Yang sighed secretly. He couldn't count on Grand Senior Sister anymore. He cast the spell according to his own understanding of Distance Reduction.

"A thousand miles of existence, the present is calm, release it and relax it …" Lu Yang closed his eyes and chanted while casting the spell.

"Ground Shrink!"

Lu Yang shouted and disappeared. The surrounding scenery changed. It was pitch black, as if he had fallen into a different dimension.

Lu Yang was overjoyed. He actually succeeded on his first try.

He was indeed a genius!

Lu Yang heard from his senior sister that the principle of Ground Shrink was to twist and fold space. The caster walked in a different dimension, which was a straight line. Through the different dimension, one could reach the destination in the shortest time possible.

Lu Yang was about to laugh when he found that the black substance around him was pouring into his mouth. His body was also trapped by the black substance, unable to move his limbs. There seemed to be no air in the different dimension, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe.

After a short and calm thought, he realized one thing:

He had shrunk into the ground.

Now, Lu Yang had good news and bad news.

The good news was that he had learned half of Ground Shrink – Ground Shrink.

The bad news was that he had only learned half of it.

Yun Zhi, who was on the ground, did not know what to say. She watched as Lu Yang performed the spell, then shrunk into the ground and learned the Earth Escape Technique.

Why did the space spell deviate from the five elements spell?

Yun Zhi was the eldest senior sister of the Dao Seeking Sect and the eldest disciple of the Sect Leader. Her cultivation and talent were ranked first among all the disciples in the Dao Seeking Sect. She could write techniques casually and learn spells with a glance. Her comprehension was top-notch, rarely seen since ancient times. Any genius would pale in comparison to her.

Even she could not understand the principle behind Lu Yang's spell casting.

These were clearly two completely unrelated spells.

With a muffled sound, Lu Yang performed Ground Shrink again. His head popped out of the ground like a mole, making people have the urge to hit him or step on him.

Lu Yang coughed, trying to resolve the awkwardness.

No matter how thick-skinned Lu Yang was, he could not stand this awkward situation.

Yun Zhi pulled Lu Yang out of the ground expressionlessly and shook out a pile of mud.

It was like pulling out a carrot.

"That was an accident. Let me try again."

Lu Yang felt that he was about to find the trick.

"A thousand miles of existence, the present is calm, let it go and relax …" Lu Yang performed the spell again, even faster than before.

"Shrinking Ground into Inches!" Lu Yang shouted, and another change occurred.

Yun Zhi was tall, but she was still half a head shorter than Lu Yang. Usually, Lu Yang could see the top of her head, but it was different now.

Yun Zhi's body gradually grew taller, and Lu Yang went from looking down to looking up, and finally to looking up with all his might.

From Lu Yang's angle, he couldn't even see her face.

Yun Zhi was like a giant holding up the sky, her head touching the sky and her feet stepping on the ground.

"No, I've shrunk!"

Lu Yang shouted. When he saw the stone on the ground that was half the height of a person, he realized where the problem was.

The three-inch-tall Lu Yang was hopping on the ground, and his voice was much softer than before.

He learned a new spell — Inch Growth.

Lu Yang's talent in magic was also terrifying. Even geniuses like Yun Zhi only learned [Shrink into an Inch], but Lu Yang learned both [Shrink into an Inch] and [Shrink into an Inch]!

Yun Zhi squatted down to observe Lu Yang. She frowned slightly, as if she couldn't figure out what had gone wrong.
