Chapter 48 Fate in the Divine Lake (1/2)
After mastering the martial arts of four human limits, Wang Bugui planed two days that were fully arranged for the following cultivation. Every morning, he had to cultivate the prana blood. The rest daytime of the first day would be spent cultivating the Force Limit, and the nighttime cultivating the prana blood again. The first day's cultivation would stop until late at night. The second day was for the Speed Limit and the Acuity Limit. During daytime, he would practice what he had understood, and during the nighttime, he would continue to study the rest.
Today, after Wang Bugui combined those two martial arts of Speed Limit and Acuity Limit, it was not a problem for him to run around the Pure Land for three laps, no matter which kind of terrain. The only difficulty was the spirit of the array. After he recovered, the spirit of the array had made the whole forest area covered with the gravity field, and it would become larger as Wang Bugui's cultivation base increased.
In addition, there were countless bans set in the forest. If he accidentally touched them, he would be taught a lesson. Even the grass and vines here were given strength. As long as he entered the Ancient Forest, there would be numerous vigorous ancient vines rushing to him, and the magical flowers and grass would take the initiative to attack him.
Wang Bugui felt vexed about that. And what more terrible was that, in recent days, even the Divine Lake was set with bans. If he triggered them, he would be attacked by the various punishments. He had gone to the restricted area more than once to complain about that, but the spirit of the array denied they were set by it, and even tried to persuade Wang Bugui that one must be tempered before he took a great duty from the god.
”D*mn it!” Wang Bugui snarled with his great anger. Within the first lap, he had already been attacked a lot of times. Even with the help of those magical martial arts, he was not the opponent of the spirit of the array. Why didn't it make the entire Pure Land into a minefield? But the complaint was useless, after all, he was definitely not an opponent of the spirit of the array, so he could only try his best to endure its hell-style cultivation rules.
Wang Bugui swallowed a grass of old herbs to repair his wounded body. Then, with a roar, he returned to cultivation again. As soon as he stepped into the forest, several shadows suddenly appeared and dashed toward him. They were nine jasper-like leaves of the Nine-leaf Orchid. This red orchid had nine leaves, and each of them could fly out to kill people like sharp knives.
Wang Bugui immediately turned aside to avoid, and those nine leaves were almost pasted on his face. He just avoided the nine leaves, but was then blocked by the White Jade Flower. There was a ban among the flowers. If he couldn't avoid the flower rain, he would be hit by the martial arts of the spirit of the array. Confronted with the endless flowers, he didn't reduce his speed, and still passed through them like a traveling dragon.
Thousands of the white jade flowers floated in the air. One after one, they all dashed toward Wang Bugui. His body, however, was as light as smoke, coming and going through the flower net. His moves were unpredictable. When he seemed to the left, but he was actually to the right; when he seemed slow, he was actually very fast. Those flowers couldn't hit him. Just as he was about to get out of the flower net, several beams of power suddenly appeared in the air and clashed to him.
Wang Bugui got nervous. The spirit of the array had changed the ban. No matter whether he could avoid it or not, he would definitely trigger the ban when he was about to get out. Fortunately, he was a cultivator with a faster brain than ordinary people. It would only take him half a second to come up with such emergency countermeasures.
He released his prana blood at once, which forced him to turn left and avoid the attack of one beam of power exactly. Then, he made a flip to avoid the attack of another beam of power. But two other beams of power followed to fly to him. Like a flying swallow, he escaped from them lightly and elegantly. Finally, there were only two beams of white lights left unpassed. Not delaying, he mobilized his prana power to make a palm toward those two beams of power when he was about to land on the ground.
He stretched his body, like a roc swaying wings to hit the sky. The two beams of power were also like rainbows, breaking into the air. When he and the two rays of white light were about to collide, he suddenly spun two turns, and passed through the two rays of white light at an extremely strange angle. Like a golden roc, he smashed through the sky.
After landing on the ground, he continued to run. He would get out of the Ancient Forest after another more pass. He proceeded cautiously, but the ban of the spirit of the array was too secret, and he had suffered a lot. Now, his body was devastated by various martial arts of the spirit of the array, and his face was also covered with dust.
”Whizzing!”
Suddenly, there were dozens of vigorous ancient vines like pythons appearing and rushing toward Wang Bugui. He immediately jumped up to avoid. But when he was in the air, the ancient vines were coming to him in all directions.
Staying calm, Wang Bugui jumped back and forth among those ancient vines. He was like a traveling dragon, rolling in the veins, or like a flying flower, dancing in this ancient veins array. He took advantage of those ancient vines supposed to block him as springboards. However, the veins seemed to be irritated, and didn't just want to trap him anymore. Instead, they began to splash him, intending to injure him and then trap him.
”Hey!”
Wang Bugui shouted out loud, and quickly resorted to the martial arts of the Speed Limit and the Acuity Limit. It was not easy for the veins to trap him. His speed was improved a lot, and every time the ancient vines was a little slower than him. In less than three minutes, he completely broke through the besiege of the enraged ancient vines. At the next moment, he pierced into the sky like a sharp arrow, whistling out of the Ancient Forest.
”Boom!”
A strong figure fell on the edge of Divine Lake and left a small pit on the ground. Wang Bugui stopped here, looking at the steaming lake, and his ink-like eyes were full of waves. The degree of difficulty of the Divine Lake was second only to the Jade Stair. Fortunately, the spirit of the array had canceled the ban that without full speed, one would be sent back. So, it was still possible for Wang Bugui to consider countermeasures, otherwise it was really terrible.
He resorted to the Endless Golden Body Manifestation, and then the Innate Prana Power burst out from his Aura Sea to cover him with a layer of golden divine robe. Even his hair was dyed into gold, just like the God of War, majestic sacred.
Then he suddenly rushed out, and with a bang, a spider web crack appeared at his feet. He continued to rush out. He was so fast, leaving a long golden rainbow in the air. In a blink, he almost came to the center of Divine Lake.
”Ah!”
Wang Bugui roared in the air, because the spirit of the array had increased the gravity again. This sudden change almost made him fall into the water, but fortunately he quickly adjusted. With a burst of blood vigour, he dashed to the Stone Forest and jumped back and forth in it. After several leaps and flips, he had passed halfway. His moves were indeed elegant, and as free as a swallow.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Wang Bugui could be regarded as a master of martial arts. How could a simple comment good Lightening Kung Fu conclude his free leaping onto roofs and vaulting over walls? This was the gap between the cultivators and the mortals. To be with a little cultivation was at the height that mortals could not reach in their lifetime. Those cultivators known as masters were really the same as the true immortals in the eyes of mortals.
On the last stone pillar, Wang Bugui temporarily stopped. The gravity of the second half way was increased a little. To pass through it, Wang Bugui had to burst out stronger prana blood. Suddenly, some faint red lights began to blend with the golden lights covered on him.
That was the power of primordial blood vigour which had integrated with the Innate Prana Power. Wang Bugui looked like being made from red gold. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. At the next moment, his body burst out red golden lights. He rushed out with a momentum intending to go straight to the end.
”Clang!”
