Chapter 393 - 195: Remaking the Land, Celestial Attraction of Myriad Phenomena
Chapter 393: Chapter 195: Remaking the Land, Celestial Attraction of Myriad Phenomena
Lin Ye had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
At first, it was just a faint, barely perceptible anomaly.
Inside the Spirit Core Hall, a few specks of dust floating in the air abruptly froze in place.
Then, in a way that defied all logic, they began to slowly orbit Lin Ye, who was positioned under the All-Seeing Instrument.
Dongfang Zhen and Zhang Daoxuan, who were standing guard outside the door, were the first to notice something was wrong.
"Hey, do you feel... lighter?"
Dongfang Zhen frowned and tried a small jump. He shot up effortlessly, soaring more than three meters into the air and nearly hitting the ceiling.
Zhang Daoxuan said nothing. He simply looked down at his feet, where a single drop of water that had leaked from a cup was hovering in midair, trembling slightly.
Then, the anomaly suddenly intensified!
RUMBLE—!!!
A terrifying, heart-stopping roar erupted from the depths of the earth!
The entire vast valley where the Qiming General Star Training Camp was located began to shake violently without warning!
Everyone struggled to keep their balance.
"Holy shit, an earthquake?"
"What’s going on!"
"Get to open ground!"
"Fuck, Ninghai isn’t even on a fault line! How could there be an earthquake? Did you fucking sleep through geography class??"
The next moment, everyone inside the Spirit Core Hall also realized—
This was no earthquake!
Yin Liulan, Nie Cang, and Su Yunjin rushed out of the Spirit Core Hall, their expressions grim as they scanned their surroundings.
However, in the next second,
they witnessed a sight they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
The valley basin beneath their feet, dozens of kilometers in diameter, along with all its buildings, vegetation, and rock formations...
...was rising at a visible speed, as if it had broken free from the planet’s gravity!
An invisible force had ripped the entire basin from the ground, roots and all!
"What is that?!" Su Yunjin cried out in shock.
At the valley’s edge, a massive, fractured rock face was exposed to the air, emitting a terrifying subterranean groan.
Countless tons of soil and rubble became a black waterfall, pouring down from the edge of the ascending landmass they stood upon!
A river that had once flowed through the valley was now severed in two.
Its upper half rose with the landmass, forming a magnificent waterfall hundreds of meters high at the edge, which cascaded back into the abyss below!
The roots of countless trees were torn apart with a sharp, crackling sound!
Upward!
Upward!
Still rising ever upward!
This was no tectonic shift known to man.
"This is... a gravitational anomaly!"
Finally, as if she had seen through it all, Yin Liulan spoke.
In an instant, Nie Cang felt a rush of blood to his head.
’A gravitational... anomaly?!’
Just a Martial Arts Spirituality awakening could cause such an earth-shattering phenomenon!
The basin they were on.
It was being forcibly lifted into the sky by a gravitational force so terrifying it was incalculable!
Within minutes, the low-lying valley basin, originally located on the outskirts of Ninghai City, vanished completely.
In its place was a new mountain range, towering and majestic, that had appeared out of thin air!
It hovered nearly a thousand meters in the air, casting a colossal shadow large enough to envelop a small town, blotting out the sky!
Countless citizens of Ninghai City craned their necks.
They stared at the new mountain range slowly rising on the outskirts of the city.
They felt as if their entire worldview was being overturned!
Even with Yin Liulan’s advance warning, the entire Ninghai City disaster prevention department was in a state of utter chaos!
Some even thought an expert from the Celestial Abyss had descended upon Ninghai!
Just then,
inside the Spirit Core Hall, the All-Seeing Instrument, a product of cutting-edge technology, finally blared a piercing alarm!
[Warning! High-rarity Martial Arts Spirituality Awakening detected!]
[Performing Data Analysis... Analysis complete!]
[In accordance with the International Martial Arts Spiritual Naming Method, this Martial Arts Spirituality is automatically named—]
[Celestial Attraction of Myriad Phenomena!]
When Lin Ye’s consciousness withdrew from the Creation Star Sea and returned to his body, he slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was a group of faces, each with a different expression.
The three instructors, Yin Liulan, Nie Cang, and Su Yunjin, were there, along with Dongfang Zhen and Zhang Daoxuan.
They were all staring intently at him, as if they were looking at some monster beyond their comprehension.
Lin Ye suddenly felt that something was off.
He moved his body. He didn’t feel any discomfort. In fact, he felt more refreshed than ever, as if an invisible shackle had been removed.
’But why is everyone looking at me like that?’
He followed their gazes and subconsciously looked down at himself. Nothing seemed wrong.
Then, as Lin Ye’s gaze swept past the Spirit Core Hall’s window, he sensed something was wrong.
Very wrong.
He clearly remembered that outside the Spirit Core Hall’s window should be a beautiful valley with a waterfall in the distance.
But now...
...there were clouds floating outside the window.
White clouds, so close he could almost touch them.
Lin Ye stood up and rushed to the window in a few strides.
He looked outside, and his whole body froze.
The familiar training camp buildings, the vast Martial Arts Hall, the distant dormitories... everything was still there.
But they, along with the vast expanse of land beneath them, were now hovering nearly a thousand meters in the air!
Soil was still trickling from the edges of what used to be the basin.
"Mr. Lin..."
Dongfang Zhen’s voice was a little hoarse. He swallowed hard, the first to break the silence.
"Do you have any idea how much of a commotion your Martial Arts Spirituality awakening just caused?"
Lin Ye turned around, stunned. He glanced back at the unbelievable scene outside the window, his heart pounding with shock.
’My Spiritual Awakening sent the whole basin into the sky?’
At that moment, Lin Ye belatedly realized that his perception of the world had changed somehow.
In addition to his vision and the senses granted by his external Spiritual Power, there was now a new, wondrous perception he couldn’t describe.
’How should I put it...’
If he closed his eyes right now, even if he deliberately withdrew all his Spiritual Power...
...he could still clearly "see" everything in the room.
He could "see" Dongfang Zhen, "see" Zhang Daoxuan, "see" the giant All-Seeing Instrument, and even "see" the layout of every steel rebar inside the walls.
But it was different from simple X-ray vision.
It wasn’t a visual sense, but a more fundamental perception.
He could intuitively feel their "presence," or rather...
...their mass.
"Mr. Lin, what exactly is this Celestial Attraction of Myriad Phenomena ability?"
Dongfang Zhen leaned in, his face full of curiosity and excitement. His earlier shock had been replaced by a fervent thirst for knowledge.
"Can you show us what it does?"
Lin Ye frowned, a hint of embarrassment on his face.
He answered honestly, "I’m not too sure myself."
"Basically, it feels really strange right now. My perception of whether objects are light or heavy feels... blurry."
"Huh?"
Dongfang Zhen was taken aback and scratched his head instinctively.
"But the All-Seeing Instrument rated your Spirituality as SS-rank rarity. The ability can’t just be... knowing how much something weighs without touching it, can it?"
Zhang Daoxuan rolled his eyes.
’Sometimes, I really have to admire Dongfang Zhen’s train of thought.’
’He always manages to pull some crazy stunt at the most critical moments.’
Yin Liulan, who had been silent all this time, turned her gaze to Lin Ye and spoke calmly.
Her voice was slow and firm.
As if every word held a magical power.
"You feel it’s blurry because whether things are light or heavy..."
"...is now up to you."
As soon as she said this, the entire room fell silent!
The goofy smile on Dongfang Zhen’s face instantly froze.
Zhang Daoxuan’s expression faltered as well.
Even Nie Cang and Su Yunjin drew a sharp breath.
That one simple sentence contained so much information that everyone’s brains seemed to short-circuit!
Lin Ye, in particular, felt as if he had been struck by lightning, frozen to the spot.
The next moment, as if her words had awakened him, he had a flash of inspiration.
With a single thought,
a strange sensation surged from deep within his body.
Then, under everyone’s horrified gazes, his feet slowly left the ground, and he began to levitate in midair.
He felt as if he had lost all his weight.
No, he was lighter than a feather.
He couldn’t even feel the existence of his own body’s weight.
However, before his excitement could fade, it became clear that his control over this new ability was still clumsy.
The moment his concentration wavered, the strange sensation vanished instantly.
He felt an irresistible weight pull him back down, and he fell to the ground in a heap with a loud THUD. His whole body felt as if it were filled with lead, and it was a struggle to even lift a finger.
For the first time, an unconcealable look of envy appeared in Zhang Daoxuan’s eyes.
He asked, "Mr. Lin, is your ability Telekinesis?"
Telekinesis was a top-tier Spirituality that nearly every object-manipulating Martial Artist dreamed of, allowing one to use Spiritual Power as invisible tendrils to move objects from a distance and kill without a trace.
But Lin Ye quickly shook his head.
He could feel that his ability was fundamentally different from simply moving objects.
Yin Liulan’s voice rang out again, capturing everyone’s attention.
"The essence of your Martial Arts Spirituality is... controlling gravity."
BOOM!
Everyone’s mind went blank.
Telekinesis, at best, was using Spiritual Power as a lever to move objects.
But controlling gravity...
...that was prying at the very laws of physics themselves!
The two weren’t even in the same dimension!
Yin Liulan’s expression turned exceptionally grave. She looked at Lin Ye and continued, "I never expected that after all these years, someone in Great Xia would awaken a root-sequence Spirituality."
"From this day forward, you must be prepared to be marked for death by other nations and the major Celestial Abyss Planes."
Lin Ye frowned. That was a term he had never heard before.
"Root... sequence?" Lin Ye asked.
Yin Liulan waved her hand dismissively.
"These concepts are too distant for you right now."
"When you reach the Celestial Human Realm and come into contact with the laws of nature, you will naturally understand what I mean."
"I just want to tell you that your Martial Arts Spirituality has immense potential, is highly developable, and has a terrifyingly high ceiling."
"But conversely, the cost of mastering and improving it is also immense."
Her words carried a hint of warning.
"Forty-nine years ago, a Martial Artist appeared in Great Xia who had awakened a Spirituality almost identical to yours. Unfortunately, by the time he fell, he had only managed to push his Spiritual Level to the third level."
This sentence sent a chill down the spines of the group, who had just been feeling excited about Lin Ye’s awakening.
’To spend a lifetime and only reach the third level?’
’The difficulty is just too terrifying.’
"Alright, I won’t say any more."
Yin Liulan didn’t seem to want to dwell on the topic.
"As for the development and use of your Spirituality, you’ll need to figure that out yourself."
"I have to report your graduation list from the training camp to my superiors now, and also deal with this mess you’ve made. I don’t have time to mentor you."
After saying this, she turned to leave, adding to the others, "All of you, leave as well. Let him have some quiet time to think."
Nie Cang and Su Yunjin exchanged a look and followed Yin Liulan out of the Spirit Core Hall.
Soon, only Lin Ye, Dongfang Zhen, and Zhang Daoxuan remained in the room.
Dongfang Zhen thought for a moment before speaking:
"Mr. Lin, don’t be spooked by Instructor Yin’s words. She’s just afraid you’ll get arrogant."
"Your Spirituality has just awakened, so you’re still in a vague and hazy stage. Overthinking it won’t help."
"What you need to do now is first develop its simplest applications and build a foundational understanding."
"Come on, let’s go to the Martial Arts Hall. I’ll share some of my insights with you."
