Swallowing the Stars: Becoming a God Starting with a Hundred Generations of Talent

Chapter 96 Ten Years Later, the Dance of Fish and Dragons [Eight Updates]

such a pity.

Luo Yun sighed inwardly.

It was so close.

With a little more time, he will be able to perfect the third form of the Star River Tears—the Fish and Dragon Dance.

This move is far more complex and powerful than "Star Whirl".

Once he masters the technique, his strength will leap to a new level.

Luo Yun stood up and walked out of the stone gate.

Outside the door, the guardian, Kandri, still smiled and nodded at him.

Luo Yun returned the greeting, then turned and left.

He knew that his chance to gain enlightenment for free was over.

To comprehend the Chaos Stele once more, one must cross the Heavenly Bridge.

However, Luo Yun felt that he was still lacking in experience.

The prototype of the "Fish and Dragon Dance" was already in my mind, but I always felt that it was missing the most crucial element, making it unable to be truly complete.

"Besides comprehending the Chaos Stele, there are other ways."

Luo Yun's heart stirred, and he thought of a place.

The rooftop of the City Lord's Mansion within Chaos City.

There, there are the cultivation residences left by countless powerful individuals throughout history who have comprehended the Nine Universe Chaos Stele.

Although those powerful figures have long since departed, traces and insights they left behind during their cultivation still remain.

Going to the rooftop to see the insights of other members of the Nine Schools of Thought might offer some inspiration.

Without hesitation, Luo Yun went directly to the rooftop of the City Lord's Mansion.

The rooftop was incredibly vast, covered with a dense array of cultivation buildings.

Each building represents a genius who once cultivated here.

Luo Yun's consciousness spread out, beginning to search for the residences left behind by the predecessors who had comprehended the Nine Universes Chaos Stele.

Soon, a public meditation dwelling, numbered 0290028981, caught his attention.

According to the inscription on the stone tablet in front of the residence, this was once the residence of a nobleman named Lian Luo.

This senior also follows the Nine Universe School.

Luo Yun stepped inside.

The dwelling was completely empty, except for the sharp sword marks etched on the walls.

Each sword mark seems to contain a unique charm.

Luo Yun sat down cross-legged, immersing his mind in the sword marks, trying to comprehend the sword intent left behind by that senior.

That sword intent sometimes flowed like a gentle drizzle, penetrating every nook and cranny, and at other times it was like a spatial rift, its sharpness fully revealed.

It combines the gentleness of water's origin with the advantage of space's origin perfectly.

The light in Luo Yun's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He found it!

This is the last thing he lacks—the will to kill!

His previous insights focused too much on the perfect integration of laws, neglecting the offensive nature of the moves themselves.

In Luo Yun's mind, the 108 Star Tear Blades reappeared.

He slowly integrated the sharp sword intent he had gleaned from the sword marks into his telekinetic weapon.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

Over the past decade, the public meditation residence, numbered 0290028981, has become a peculiar sight.

Luo Yun sat there cross-legged, motionless.

His black hair had grown much longer and was casually draped over his shoulders. His blue battle suit was also covered in dust, and he looked unkempt, like a stone sculpture.

Chaos City is vast, but the circle of geniuses is small.

Many of the geniuses who came here with us would unconsciously glance at this place when they passed by while moving around the city.

"Look, Luo Yun is still there."

"Yes, it's been a full ten years, and he hasn't moved an inch."

"What exactly is he trying to comprehend? Has he gone mad from practicing qi cultivation?"

At first, people were just curious.

But as time went on, curiosity gradually turned into discussion, and the discussion was mixed with a strange meaning.

After all, the outside world has changed so much in the past decade.

"Have you heard? Princess Xianyin passed the second level of the Bridge to Heaven in her fourth year!"

"It wasn't just Xianyin; Morosa and Wuchi also passed the second level in their fifth year!"

"Yes, those three are truly terrifying. The speed at which they have improved their understanding of the laws is simply unbelievable."

The three geniuses remain the objects of everyone's admiration. They have proven with their strength that they are worthy of their initial rankings.

Besides those three, the remaining nine hundred-plus geniuses were no ordinary people either.

For the past ten years, everyone has been practicing diligently.

Some people hunt down Chaos True Spirits in the Chaos Wasteland, honing their skills between life and death, and their strength increases by leaps and bounds.

Of course, some were unlucky and perished under the siege of the Chaos Beasts, remaining here forever.

But those who survived all made great progress.

Of those thousand geniuses, aside from the dozens who died, almost all of the rest have passed through the first level of the Bridge to Heaven.

And what about Luo Yun?

He is still on the first floor.

This unparalleled genius, who once overwhelmed everyone and won first place with an indisputable advantage, still has his record on the Tongtian Bridge remaining at "the first level" from ten years ago.

This has complicated the thoughts in many people's minds.

"Alas, what a pity." A genius who had just passed the first level and was full of vigor looked at the sitting figure and shook his head with feigned regret.

"It's not uncommon in the history of the Genius Battle," his companion chimed in. "They shine brightly in the beginning, displaying extraordinary talent, but soon encounter an insurmountable hurdle, and from then on, they fade into obscurity."

This statement immediately resonated with many people.

"That's right. The path of cultivation becomes more and more difficult as you go on. One hurdle can hold you back for a lifetime."

"He was probably able to pass the first level because of his solid foundation and high mental amplification. In terms of true understanding of the laws, he may have already reached his peak at that time."

"Now it seems that this is indeed possible."

The implication is self-evident.

Although they expressed their regret, a hint of satisfaction lurked deep in their eyes.

After all, they themselves had already passed the first level.

From this perspective, they are now on the same level as the former number one.

This feeling of catching up with the legends of the past gave them a secret sense of satisfaction.

Regarding the various discussions and even the subtle denigration from the outside world.

Luo Yun, as still as a stone sculpture, knew nothing.

His entire being was already immersed in the profound world of water and space, constructed by those sword marks, and he was unable to extricate himself.

For outsiders, it was a long decade.

For Luo Yun, however, it seemed to be just a moment.

His mind was completely absorbed in those sword marks.

In his mind, the 108 Star Tear Blades were constantly rehearsing.

He is perfecting a new secret technique.

The third level of Star River Tears: Fish and Dragon Dance.

His previous moves, whether it was "Star River Sword" or "Star Whirlwind," were too focused on fixed forms. It was like building a fortress with individual stones; although sturdy, it appeared rigid.

But the sword mark left by that senior showed him another possibility.

The intent to kill is merely a facade.

Its true core is "life".

In Luo Yun's mind, a thought flashed like lightning, instantly piercing through all the fog.

Space is water.

The weapon of telekinesis is a fish.

This single thought instantly illuminated his entire sea of ​​consciousness.

Everything is now clear.

Space is not empty; it is a medium that can contain everything, just like a vast ocean. And one's own psychic weapon should not simply tear this ocean apart brutally, but should swim freely in the water like a fish, using the power of the water to attack the enemy.

Fish are most agile and deadly in the water.

In Wu Luoyun's mind, the way the 108 Star Tear Blades operated underwent a fundamental change.

They no longer form a fixed sword shape, nor are they simply rotating vortexes.

They came back to life.

One hundred and eight blades transformed into one hundred and eight agile swimming fish.

Sometimes they disperse, transforming into a school of fish, drawing unpredictable trajectories in the vast ocean, launching attacks on the enemy from all directions and from any incredible angle.

At times, they converged instantly, transforming into a torrent of blades, like a dragon emerging from the water, unleashing its most powerful impact.

Space is water, and the blade is fish.

The central star core crystal is the Dragon King who commands the fish.

This is the real Fish and Dragon Dance.
