During his practice on February 27th, after several days of focused contemplation and deep accumulation, Geng Xuan finally broke through that thin layer of window paper.

After he overcame the mental barrier, a completely new cultivation method naturally emerged in his heart.

From a certain perspective, this new technique represents the culmination of his cultivation in the art of body movement.

The continuous steps, the fox leaping technique, the ten-thousand-mile flying cloud leap, and even the iron leg skill, horse judging technique... all the existing achievements related to movement and speed became his resources.

At the same time, he also drew heavily on Hongbo's swimming technique, water movement technique, and other martial arts secrets.

Because of the lingering memories of his past life, coupled with insights gained from numerous personal experiments, he suddenly realized something in a moment—

"Water flow, air flow... their properties are highly similar in many ways."

They can learn from each other and verify each other's findings.

"Since the two have many similarities, the void can be regarded as another 'water area' with slightly different properties."

Inspired by these ideas, the prototype of a brand-new martial arts technique began to emerge in Geng Xuan's mind.

After some experimentation, Geng Xuan named it "Hongyu Swimming Body Technique".

This "swimming technique" did not come from nowhere; there are many existing methods that can be learned from, referenced, and verified.

The most groundbreaking step was the first step in crossing the threshold.

He connected these many established methods, refined and elevated them, and produced a completely new "fruit".

For this reason, after Geng Xuan successfully grasped the basics, his progress in cultivating this "Swimming Body Technique" was exceptionally rapid.

Almost every day, the level of one's cultivation would rise to a higher level.

When Geng Xuan first learned the "Hongyu Swimming Body Technique," it brought him great surprise.

Originally, no matter how hard he tried, standing at the highest point of the mountain, he could only control the gliding distance to about seven or eight hundred meters.

Once you've mastered this "swimming technique," the situation changes abruptly.

The gliding distance has increased to about two kilometers.

Although this is still vastly different from his ultimate expectations.

However, if we only compare myself to my past self, the progress is obvious.

More importantly, this gave him a clear path to promotion, instead of blindly and inefficiently groping around.

Each advancement in his realm would provide him with direct and clear feedback in terms of results.

Compared to gliding further and further, and gliding more and more relaxed and composed, what Geng Xuan values ​​more is all the new experience and insights gained in this process of continuous progress.

These findings are very complex and involve many aspects.

In simple terms, Geng Xuan gradually learned how to coexist with the "void".

I'm becoming more and more adapted and more and more at ease.

The initial trepidation and anxiety I felt when I first tried gliding, the fear of accidentally falling and shattering into pieces, have completely disappeared.

Instead, he began to enjoy the wonderful experience that each glide brought.

The more relaxed your mindset, the more agile your body will become.

On the first day of the third lunar month, Geng Xuan easily pushed the "Hongyu Swimming Body Technique" into the Master realm.

The feeling of panic—that of being adrift in the void, with nowhere to lean on, and being completely out of control by the chaotic air currents—has vanished completely.

He not only fully adapted to the void, but could even adjust his body posture at will, as if he were in water.

They could flip and dodge without hindrance.

The biggest cost of this reckless behavior is simply that it shortens his gliding distance, nothing more.

The more and more complex the adjustments made to the body during gliding, the greater this effect.

The greater the impact, the better.

On the third day of the third lunar month, the "Hongyu Youshen Technique" took another step forward from the Master level and entered the Grandmaster level.

The gliding distance has been further improved.

Standing atop a peak with a drop of two to three thousand meters, one can leap down and swiftly traverse nearly ten thousand meters of empty space amidst the swirling winds, landing steadily in the campsite at the foot of the mountain.

But what Geng Xuan cared about most was not this result.

Instead, when this "Swimming Body Technique" is advanced to the level of a grandmaster, the formless and intangible void suddenly becomes as clear and intuitive as water in his perception.

He could clearly grasp the patterns of every turbulent current that swept past him.

The hurricanes that swept past him, in Geng Xuan's perception, transformed into raging waves that he could look directly at and touch.

"...Since it can be seen and touched, it can naturally be used as well."

"Those who ride the waves and are familiar with the water, and make good use of it, can walk on flat ground even in raging waves."

"If riding the tide is feasible, then riding the wind... is naturally possible as well."

When Geng Xuan put this insight into practice, he actually managed to get some "wind power" several times during his gliding.

The body, which had been descending slowly and steadily, suddenly and noticeably adjusted its angle, changing from a downward to an upward trajectory. However, it wasn't always successful in utilizing the "wind" to propel itself.

One's own speed, body posture, the direction of the hurricane around one's body... every factor must be just right to work together to bring about such a good thing.

Roughly speaking, it takes about one in five attempts to succeed.

Another time, the result was neither good nor bad.

On the remaining three trips, they were unable to use the "wind" to glide any further.

Instead, the futile attempt disrupted the established gliding rhythm, causing the rider to land on the ground even earlier.

Two days later, it was the fifth day of the third month.

The "Hongyu Youshen Technique" has taken another step forward, advancing from Grandmaster to Perfection.

Not only is normal gliding more effortless and farther, but "borrowing the wind" also becomes easier.

It succeeds about once every two attempts.

Even if the attempt to "borrow wind" fails, at most the situation will return to the state before the attempt was made, and it will not lead to a worse outcome.

Originally, Geng Xuan wanted to try more things and fully experience the various changes that the "Hongyu Swimming Body Technique" would bring him after it was perfected.

However, the immense commotion, like a tidal wave, that the "earth-listening spider web" captured coming from the wasteland in the northwest made him pause his attempt.

Geng Xuan even interrupted his cultivation and returned to the camp.

Soon, more definite news came.

Huck is back.

He was not the only one to return; a massive army of nearly 30,000 also came back.

Having come from Xuanzhou, they had to detour to the far north before heading west to avoid Dong Guan's eyes and ears, making their total journey more than several thousand miles.

Now, he is carrying the "essence" of Xuanzhou, traveling thousands of miles to join him.

Geng Xuan was deeply moved upon hearing the news.

When he initially arranged for Hakmonto and the others to go out, he only pointed out a general direction of action and some key time points.

As for what Hack and his team should do specifically, and to what extent they could achieve it, he didn't have any very specific requirements.

In terms of specific actions, he only gave four words: "Act as you see fit."

Therefore, he had neither given specific orders nor placed excessive expectations on how far Huck could accomplish the mission.

Now, with such a result presented before him, Geng Xuan couldn't help but feel amazed.

If he had a "standard answer" in mind, then the answer sheet that Huck submitted was already better than the scope of the "standard answer".

Faced with Hake and his group heading straight for the camp, Geng Xuan did not wait in the camp, but took the initiative to go and meet them in the direction they were coming from.

When this massive force of nearly 30,000 people came into view, Geng Xuan was utterly startled.

What frightened him was not their tattered clothes, nor the overpowering, almost suffocating stench.

Rather, it was the "ripples" emanating from nearly 30,000 individuals, whose rhythms were too uniform.

The change reached its peak when they all knelt down before him.

At this moment, a strange thought arose in Geng Xuan's mind, one that had little to do with the scene before him.

"If I, the 'divine child,' were to consciously craft and package an item, I could probably create a 'divine artifact' in no time!"

This wasn't the first time such a thought had crossed my mind.

Even earlier, after realizing the genuine and unwavering faith these "Crimson Wolf Followers" had shown in him, the "Son of God," he had entertained such a thought.

But when he thought about his true purpose in doing this, he resolutely rejected the temptation.

At least for now, it's not the right time to do such a thing.

So... when is the "right time"?

This must be done at least after the initial transformation of the "Crimson Wolf Followers" is completed.

At that time, "Azure Wolf Heaven" would no longer be the "Azure Wolf Heaven" they now worship, but "Azure Wolf, son of the Azure Emperor." That would be the right time for creations like "divine artifacts" to be born.

Producing one or two such items now would be completely harmful and useless to his fundamental purpose.

If he doesn't destroy it immediately, it could become a hidden danger in the future.

During this time, Geng Xuan also learned about the "legendary" experiences that Ha Ke and others had on their journey from them.

With this thought in mind, Geng Xuan spent almost the entire rest of the day receiving and accepting this group of "pilgrims."

After incorporating these nearly 30,000 "pilgrims" into the "Black Wind Army" system, the size of the "Black Wind Army" expanded further, from over 144,000 to over 173,000.

However, the old problem remains: the vast majority of them only have the cultivation level of refining skin and flesh.

Although they have crossed the threshold of cultivation, they are all at the bottom of the cultivation community.

After incorporating these nearly 30,000 "pilgrims" into the "Black Wind Army" system, a total of 4,400 points of White Luck gradually "arrived" according to "Flint Pearl's" reminder. (End of Chapter)
