Dual Cultivation God Returns-Chapter 671 The sand opens the eyes

After his ladies returned to the Mystic Realm, he returned to high speed of travel, now traversing vast lands, as he reached a former giant continent, one of the main continents of this World.

Though he switched from flying to traveling on land, raising his speed even more as he could now use high-level movement techniques.

Everywhere he passed there was only wilderness, until he reached another crack between the worlds.

The area near it was turned into a lifeless desert, as enormous wall of dust and sand rose into the skies much like the water before, covering the deserted area in a perpetual sandstorm as it all rained down back.

As he approached the wall of sandstorm, he used the Wind Rune, to move through the sand and dust.

But, at one moment, he suddenly stopped, much to Fen Baihu's surprise even stopping shielding himself from the sand.

While it was completely harmless to him, as his Body Tempering had already reached a level where even a full-powered attack from someone in Core Formation Realm with an 8th-tier Mortal Grade Treasure Weapon would not give him so much as a bruise.

But that did not mean that he did not feel anything, as pain sensitivity was part of the sensory system that gave awareness in battle, so while his Body Tempering techniques always tempered his body, he never used any that had the effect of numbing his pain sensitivity. If anything, he used several techniques that heightened his senses, which made his pain sensitivity much higher than norm.

The fact he rarely, if ever reacted, to it was simply an insane level of pain tolerance rather than any methods to prevent feeling it.

Not to mention, that it was an uncomfortable feeling, and inconvenient as his clothes instantly got dirty and began accumulating wear and tear.

He closed his eyes and hovered in one place, feeling an already familiar fleeting feeling.

Fen Baihu silently watched from the side, the vertical pupils of her pink glowing eyes intently watching him, trying to understand this man.

However, there was no visible change, as he stood on the sand, quite dangerously close to the place where the edge of the shard of this World was, sand caught up by an invisible force, of massive moving current upward, passing all around him. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

His hands spread, feeling the sand grains hitting the open palms of his hands.

From then on he just stood in this pose for a few hours, motionless, causing Fen Baihu to slowly run out of patience, as she did not see anything happening or feel anything different.

'Haa~, what is he doing? Is he just resting from the travel?', she eventually thought of a possible answer, after all, he did move almost non-stop through such vast territories that even an Essence Awakening Realm would have been exhausted only covering a fraction of that distance. Not to mention that for most of this travel he was using an inefficient flying technique, and only recently switched to a more comfortable mode of travel.

But then, she noticed something different at last, as the sand grains started swaying before hitting Wu Long, until they only gently touched his skin, and sliding across his palms and fingers continued onward to join the rising wall in front of Wu Long.

The sand and dust then started swirling around him much like when he used his wind to shield himself, but Fen Baihu could clearly tell that there was no wind current around him.

'Is he... is he moving the sand itself?', she inwardly questioned, as she witnessed a moment when he gained control over another element, something she never even heard of being possible.

There were many things unexplainable about him, but she never vividly saw him gain a new ability in front of her eyes, which greatly shook her.

After all, him having mysterious abilities was one thing, gaining them in such an inconspicuous manner was a completely different one, especially as she was someone who almost rivaled his knowledge of what is possible and not in the context of the wider world.

Someone who only knew part of the Seven Boundless Worlds could chalk it up to him using some kind of know-how from the higher Boundless Worlds, or some arcane knowledge that was available, even if in limited access, to others. But she knew clearly that what he did just now was at least in theory absolutely impossible, and yet could not deny witnessing the scene.

Though she of course could not perceive Dao Runes in any way, which made her even more confused as to what just happened.

Meanwhile, Wu Long smiled, as it was surprisingly a bit harder to grasp this Dao Rune, despite the snowball effect. Though that difficulty lied in the fact that sand was not the true form of the element he grasped, but its dispersed and disintegrated form.

However, this gain greatly satisfied him as he got his hands on the second element of the Five Elements, Earth.

And, once he gained it, it proved to be almost as easy to grasp understanding of, and therefore learn control, as the Water Rune.

This discovery surprised him, as he now felt like he had uncovered a small mystery, peeking behind a veil that shrouded the very concept and existence of the Dao Runes.

He did not linger on the spot, crossing toward the border between two shards of the World as he did the others, the only difference being spreading earth and sand in his path instead of water, and moving forward.

There was a similar desert on the other side, after crossing which he briefly stopped again, getting on one knee and touching the dry soil of a prairie, exploring the new sensation as now he could perceive the very earth he stood on in intricate detail, every insect or animal within a yet relatively small radius of about two kilometers, sensing the position and movement of every plant taking roots in the soil, every water running deep inside, all becoming part of his sensory system, allowing him to greatly expand his ability to 'see' his surroundings.

The only sensation which was a bit similar was his Water Rune, as he could feel through water around him, which was especially potent during rain or when he was near sea.

Now possessing both Dao Runes that comprised almost everything that made up the World below the surface, he could quite literally 'feel' the world beneath him, not just perceive it through his Spiritual Sense, which passed through solid substances much harder than liquid, most easily traveling through gaseous state of matter.

"Suu~ Haa~", he took a deep breath, getting used to this feeling as it was at first quite disorienting, as he felt his consciousness spreading too thin across such a new sensory path.

He could also feel the tremors that shook the plast of land he currently was on, feeling as it grinded against the shard he just left, and feeling the reverberations coming from much deeper as it collided with hundreds of small chunks of the World beneath the surface that were before just floating in the void between the core of the World and the shattered surface plains.

His current ability only covered around two kilometers around him, but even that was a bit overwhelming for such a profound feeling, unlike normal Spiritual Sense.
