Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 268 - 267 Abyss Fire 14 (Thanks to the overlord ’Takamachi Nanako’ for the reward)

"Gravitational forces have been altered."

Zhou Bai gently pressed his foot down, and his body fluttered out like a piece of paper. Under the influence of the sword seed, the gravitational pull between the earth and him had weakened.

Then the sword seed trembled slightly again, his body swiftly sank, and he thudded onto the ground.

At that moment, Zhou Bai felt a force pulling him downwards, increasing the gravity exerted by the earth on him.

Then Zhou Bai stepped out of the practice room, and looking toward a lawn three hundred meters away, accompanied by a slight tremble of the sword seed, the grass and dust on the lawn began to float in the air.

"Gravity, strong enough to move the sun, moon, and stars, far-reaching enough to reshape the galaxy and span an entire star system."

Zhou Bai thought silently, "The Tianhe Star Explosion sword has condensed a sword seed that inherits this incredibly potent and distant force. The sword seed I’ve just condensed can affect the gravitational conditions up to three hundred meters away. How much wider will the influence range be if I continue to cultivate?"

Zhou Bai couldn’t help but look forward eagerly.

However, his training time was too short, his Sword Intent too weak, and his Galaxy Sword Energy feeble, so the sword seeds he condensed naturally had limited power, barely affecting his opponent’s movements.

But when used to enhance oneself...

Then within the practice room, Zhou Bai’s form turned into multiple illusions, his movements across the field incredibly fast, whipping up gusts after gust with each motion.

’Indeed, by appropriately reducing and increasing gravitational control, combined with my original acceleration and Gale Breath Walk, my speed has increased by at least thirty percent. This is the current greatest enhancement Tianhe Star Explosion sword offers me.’

’Now, just by relying on barefoot acceleration and using Gale Breath Walk, I can break the sound barrier, and likely reach 1.5 times the speed of sound shirtless.’

’Unfortunately, besides controlling gravity, the Tianhe Star Explosion sword also involves gravity-assisted sword moves. Sadly, my current sword seeds are too weak to execute these moves.’

Today’s cultivation of the Tianhe Star Explosion sword enhanced Zhou Bai’s understanding of the technique’s effects and his own improvements. Being able to control gravity might not seem significantly impactful, but its enhancements are comprehensive.

It made him faster, Sword Control easier, and even added assistance to various attack movements.

After finishing his practice, Zhou Bai joined Qian Wangsun and others for a late-night snack, then headed to the place appointed by Lin Muqing, planning to exchange information and decide their next steps.

Meanwhile, while Zhou Bai was intensely cultivating the Tianhe Star Explosion sword.

In front of the Sect Hierarch, a short-statured young man slowly made his way forward, each step causing a faint thudding noise from within his body.

With each thudding noise, his body gradually grew taller until he finally transformed into Li Xiuzhu.

Li Xiuzhu looked at the distorted flesh in front of him and said, "Jiaojiao, let’s talk again. You must change your mind, otherwise Donghua City is on the brink."

"Li Xiuzhu..." the voice of the Sect Hierarch entered the young man’s mind: "You’ve intruded here over and over, do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?"

"Why would you kill me? I have come for the sake of humanity, for the future of Donghua City." Li Xiuzhu confidently said, "Unless you have completely lost your sanity, why else would you want to kill me?"

Jiaojiao replied, "Li Xiuzhu, your ultimate plan is too arrogant. I will not gamble Donghua City on your venture... however..."

The thoughts of Zhou Bai, who had recently learned the Tianhe Star Explosion sword, flickered in Jiaojiao’s mind, considering the already stretched resources in Donghua City and the formidable enemies they were about to face, a complicated situation.

Jiaojiao quietly said, "This time, I can cooperate with you."

Li Xiuzhu smiled, "You’ve made the right choice."

...

Zhou Bai and Lin Muqing walked along the campus path when Lin Muqing spoke telepathically, "Weren’t you planning to flee Donghua City, Zhou Bai? Have you changed your mind about staying?"

Zhou Bai chuckled and telepathically replied, "I thought about it and decided to stay. I want to fight the Heavenly Demon with everyone."

Hearing Zhou Bai’s words, Lin Muqing smiled slightly, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth from curling up.

Zhou Bai asked, "What are you grinning about? Come on, tell me, have you gotten in touch with your Sect Hierarch? What are your plans?"

Lin Muqing responded, "We’ve made contact, and the Hierarch has already arrived in Donghua City."

"What!" Zhou Bai exclaimed in shock. "He actually came over? Well, with his strength, he must be a big help to Donghua City, right? What does he plan to do?"

"Um," Lin Muqing nodded, "The Hierarch intends to collaborate with the Three Pure Dao Sect, though it’s uncertain whether it will work out."

Zhou Bai’s eyes brightened, actually hoping that the two sides would join forces. With Jiaojiao and Xiuzhu’s power, facing the current situation in Donghua City, their hope for victory increased significantly.

Lin Muqing asked, "By the way, Zhou Bai, have you mastered the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword technique?"

Zhou Bai smirked, "Hard to say, hard to say."

Lin Muqing pouted and leaned closer to Zhou Bai, "Come on, Zhou Bai, I’ve been so honest with you, and you’re still playing tricks? Being elusive?"

Zhou Bai explained, "The elder won’t let me say."

"If you and I don’t mention it, the elder won’t know," Lin Muqing winked at Zhou Bai. "Or do I need to kiss you before you’ll tell me?"

Zhou Bai’s heart raced a bit, feeling somewhat shy. This was still the first time in two lifetimes that a woman had spoken to him like this.

Inside Zhou Bai’s mind, Christina clenched her teeth, "I told you, why did you save this wicked woman! Shameless!"

At that moment, Lin Muqing’s complexion faltered slightly, and she suddenly began coughing.

"What’s wrong?" asked Zhou Bai, taken aback.

"It’s nothing." Lin Muqing took a breath. In fact, to cure the toxins in her body, she had Xiuzhu use the second hexagram on her. Although the toxins were completely removed, her constitution was also halved, leaving her exceptionally weak at the moment.

Lin Muqing said, "Fine, if you don’t want to tell, it’s okay. But I need your help with something." Although Zhou Bai hadn’t said it, from his smug appearance, Lin Muqing guessed he had probably mastered the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword.

"What do you need?" Zhou Bai asked.

"Fang Mo has disappeared," Lin Muqing stated. "You took the necklace hexagram, right? I want to use it to investigate Fang Mo’s whereabouts."

Zhou Bai, feeling a bit embarrassed, scratched his head. Seeing that Lin Muqing didn’t seem to want the hexagram back right away, he played dumb.

Following that, Zhou Bai accompanied Lin Muqing to the building where Fang Mo lived and used the necklace hexagram to track his past whereabouts.

Holding the hexagram in one hand, Zhou Bai’s eyes flickered as images from the past few days rapidly passed by.

"Found him."

Seeing Fang Mo’s phantom in front of him, Zhou Bai said, "Let’s go, we’ll follow him."

Thus, the two tracked across various districts of Donghua City, finally arriving in a small alley in Dao School.

Noticing Fang Mo’s suddenly broken ankle, Lin Muqing and Zhou Bai exchanged surprised glances.

"Not this again!"
