《Overlord in Cultivation》66. The Momentum!
Advertisement
“Boom!”
The lady in silver robe pushed the door open on the eleventh floor with expectation and helplessness in her eyes, and watched Su Yan entering it.
Su Yan stepped into the eleventh floor. It seemed like he was in a vast territory in a savage universe. This place was full of divine essence, like a natural treasure place that emitted divine light splendidly.
Su Yan was astonished for he had never seen this kind of territory which was so suitable for cultivation with abundant essence!
“Welcome!”
“Use the Taoist Formation you have learned to gather all the energy here until the gate of the twelfth floor is struck open. Then you will succeed. You have three years.” The lady in silver robe looked vague, standing in a high place with her eyes running down the territory.
“Strike the gate open!”
Su Yan’s eyes fixed on an ancient and mysterious bronze gate over this vigorous territory, which a tremendous aura like mountain and ocean emanated.
Su Yan was stunned by the heavy gate and was almost stifled by its aura. He felt that it would also be difficult for Yi Yuan to open the gate.
"What is in there?"
Su Yan murmured to himself. Then he stared at the vast momentum of earth and said with a wry smile, “Gathering the energy by Taoist Formation is extremely hard to finish, nearly impossible!”
"No wonder no one has ever succeeded before. It is so difficult that even those masters who are in Implement Constructing Realm can’t open this bronze gate only by force!".
Su Yan slumped on the ground. He could converge the formations according to what he had learnt, but it was impossible for him, by those formations, to open the gate hanging in the air.
He needed, by formations, to assemble all the energy from the earth together, evolve the power of heaven and earth, and then smashed the gate.
It was easy to evolve the power of heaven and earth, but it was so hard to open the gate.
"That is to say, it is what I saw on the fifth floor!"
Su Yan was excited suddenly and jumped laughing, "It is really my good luck. Although the test is difficult as hell, the inheritance in the black ore is a big cheating device!"
Su Yan was so excited and he took out the black ore. He always felt that the inheritance in black ore was similar to Taoist Formation.
Even the Taoist Formation was a simplified version of the inheritance in this black ore. If he could understand a part of the inheritance in this black ore, it might not be difficult for Su Yan to gather the momentum of earth and open the gate.
Su Yan’s spirit penetrated his frontal bone and entered the black ore again. His spirit almost collapsed when he saw this great world whose structure almost made the vast sea of stars tremble.

He could barely stay in the black ore for a short moment at his present degree of spirit. Su Yan didn’t waste any time and carefully studied all the interlaced lines between heaven and earth. These lines were like codes made up by the laws of the world which gave Su Yan great inspiration.
Su Yan had been familiar with the field of formations already. When again carefully studying the inheritance which was extremely complex and mysterious, he could understand part of it.
He didn’t hang in there for a long time because of great consumption of his spirit.
“Just wait! I’m sure I can pass the twelfth floor.”
Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He said, “The inheritance in the black ore is much grander than that in the fifth floor. To gather the energy from the earth here, I only need to understand a small part of it.”
Su Yan immersed himself in the earthshaking inheritance.
The whole Huaxia College seemed to be experiencing a violent storm because the No.1 of the Dragon-hidden List was changed.
“How is that possible!”
All students had pins and needles in their scalps. Su Yan had reached the eleventh floor. His score had surpassed Jiang Wuhen’s.
The palace where Jiang Wuhen stayed was filled with terror. An immemorial golden crow seemed to fly up into sky as if it could burn down the whole universe.
No.1 position was taken away!
It was a burning shame to Jiang Wuhen.
He was the disciple of Zu Yan after all and also was the most gifted student in Huaxia Alliance. But since Su Yan appeared, Su Yan became the student with the strongest savvy.
“Martial Lord, your student is really amazing!”
Xia Ze sent Yi Yuan a message, “I've already informed the steward of Training Pagoda to keep a secret about Su Yan’s situation. I'd like to see what kind of inheritance is in there!”
Yi Yuan was in a trance for a moment, and then a smile, together with concern, appeared on his rough face.
Yi had reached the eleventh floor before, so did Xia Ze. But unfortunately, they failed at the eleventh floor, and even their memories were erased.
“Su Yan, No.1 of the Dragon-hidden List!”
“He hasn’t opened his Destiny Spring, but he owns amazing savvy. God’s jealous of him. What a pity!”
Some disciples felt pity for Su Yan. As the No.1 of the Dragon-hidden List, Su Yan could have greater achievements than Jiang Wuhen in the future. But he didn’t open the Destiny Spring. He was a genius and a loser at the same time.
Time seemed to go by slowly.
One month later, the second mutation of earth’s cultivation environment was coming again!
This time, it was basically confirmed that the second mutation was speeding up and it should be earlier than expected.
“What happened outside? Many teachers and core disciples in college left.”

“It is said that an ancient relic was found in Base No.9, even with the Dragon Vein inside. All masters of the college have united together to explore this relic, even the Deputy Dean Liu Peng leads the team in person!”
Students of the whole college discussed about it heatedly. Every time an ancient relic appeared, some excellent masters would unite together to explore it. But this time was different, because of the appearance of the Dragon Vein, many beast kings also wanted to occupy the ancient relic. Overmatches from different forces wanted to take a share of the profits.
“Buzzing!”
In the eleventh floor of Training Pagoda, blasts of strong spirit power emerged like bolts of golden lightning.
Su Yan’s spirit was heavier than before!
Su Yan had been studying the inheritance in the black ore without rest during this month. He experienced life exhaustion each time he entered the black ore and studied the inheritance. Su Yan’s spirit was getting stronger and stronger as a result.
He made great progress in spirit cultivation, because this unique territory owned abundant essence which played an important role in his spirit cultivation.
“My spirit was twice as strong as before!”
But Su Yan still did not take any actions. The deeper he understood about the black ore’s inheritance, the more he could feel the grandeur of the world.
Su Yan gained a lot as if a formation master was here guiding him.
“In the boundless territory with innate momentum.”
“Dragons and snakes hidden emitted killing aura!”
“The momentum between heaven and earth could reverse the whole universe. The rules I learn control the whole world!”
Su Yan deduced what he had learned and seemed to forget the formation!
Formation and momentum.
From formation to momentum, it was a complete qualitative transformation. The formation could converge power between heaven and earth, while the inheritance in that black ore explained the momentum which, together with Qi of Earth Vein, could be triggered and operated by human’s force to generate formidable power of killing.
Another month passed, and the speed of Su Yan’s spirit strengthening gradually slowed down.
He found some problems about the manual. The Soul-refining Manual, just as Yi Yuan said, was not really a top manual. But Su Yan felt that if he could seize the opportunity, his spirit would reach the soul level.
Gradually, Su Yan found a crucial issue!
He felt that the current earth environment lacked one thing that was the momentum between heaven and earth --the rules and power of heaven and earth!
“Taoism is the rules of heaven and earth, namely the power of heaven and earth!”
Su Yan suddenly realized that no wonder people said the second mutation of the earth was a rising feast. Once a man mastered the mighty power of the rules of heaven and earth which was so incredible, he could be called as an overmatch.
Su Yan felt a sense of urgency. If the rules of heaven and earth derived from Taoism on the earth, then the distance between him and Zu Yan would be an insurmountable gap.
“I’m ready to begin!”
With strong momentum, Su Yan stood up suddenly and his black hair was dancing in the air.
Bursts of aura emitting from Su Yan’s body looked like formation lines, evolving into ancient characters representing black tortoise, rosefinch, real dragon….
The powerful structure was fluctuating up and down, ready to rise along with Su Yan’s momentum faintly.
“Hahaha!”
Su Yan laughed and walked steadily in this area.
Wherever he passed, the momentum emerged and the Qi of Earth Vein erupted!
Numerous complex formation lines appeared every time Su Yan set his feet on the ground!
Every footprint caused the rising of the momentum!
Of course, with Su Yan's current strength, it is impossible to motivate all the momentum. Su Yan estimated that if he wanted to possess the power of heaven and earth, he had to understand the mystery of it, which was the next realm all masters on the earth pursued!
Even so, it is difficult to stop Su Yan!
“A piece of cake!”
Taking out dozens of ores, Su Yan started to write and draw on them.
He did not have the ability to motivate the Qi of Earth Vein and deduce the killing formation. But these ores could help him. Su Yan engraved what he had learned on them and buried the ores in the territory, expecting to motivate all the momentum of the whole territory!
His eyes were red. It had been three days and nights!
Su Yan took a brief rest and continued his frantic carving.
It took him ten days to engrave twenty ores. Each ore was dazzling, engraved with interweaved formation lines.
Su Yan buried them in earth. When he awaked the formation structure, the ore exploded one by one. At that moment when the ores exploded, strong divine energy erupted and formed into beams of light rushing into the sky.
It was like twenty dragons rushing to the sky and motivated the momentum of earth.
This vigorous territory was motivated by the force of the formation structure. During the fluctuations of this territory, billowy divine essence gushed out, and the Qi of Earth Vein burst out and, like lightning, gathered in the sky, where the vague shadow of a formidable dragon appeared!
To deduce the killing formation with the momentum of earth, one must master the Qi of Earth Vein which was equal to mastering the power of this territory.
“Ah!”
Su Yan roared, and then used the power of dragon form to strike the bronze gate, like a dragon coming out of the sea!
“Creak!”
The heavy bronze gate was opened slowly upon this strike with all the momentum of earth.
