Shrouding the Sky: The System Arrived Thirty Years Early

To travel at full speed for dozens of miles, comparable to a car traveling at 70 or 80 miles per hour, what does that mean? It's already beyond the realm of ordinary people!

But Luo Qianqiu's face was normal at this moment, not pale, and his breathing was calm. He did not look like he had been through strenuous exercise at all, which shocked Lin Jia.

Are cultivators really that powerful? They've only been cultivating for a day, yet they've already undergone such a terrifying transformation!

"Because of the divine embryo, I have a very deep grasp of cultivation knowledge, and I also have sacred fruits and divine springs. This is an exception, not the norm."

Luo Qianqiu seemed to know what Lin Jia was thinking and explained.

But the reality is clearly not that simple. While opening up the sea of ​​suffering can indeed transform a person, the transformation produced by a sea of ​​suffering the size of a corn kernel is extremely limited.

After all, not everyone is like the Holy Body, whose divine power flows endlessly and whose blood and energy surge after the sea of ​​suffering is opened, making them inexhaustible.

Even if an ordinary mortal breaks free from suffering, they are only physically better than ordinary people; in the early stages, they do not possess many extraordinary abilities.

At the very least, one must open up the Sea of ​​Bitterness to a certain scale, connect with the Spring of Life, release the source of divine power, and cultivate profound techniques before one can demonstrate the divine might of a cultivator.

The reason why Luo Qianqiu was able to endure for so long was partly due to opening up the sea of ​​suffering, but more importantly, it was because his physical constitution had been strengthened by two times.

Otherwise, a mere mortal cultivator who had just opened the sea of ​​suffering should have been exhausted after carrying someone at full speed for dozens of miles, instead of looking normal with steady breathing.

To be honest, cheating is really awesome. Suddenly your physical constitution is doubled, you're incredibly strong and can fly bricks, and there's no skill involved, it's all about the numbers.

Luo Qianqiu was like a perpetual motion machine, tireless, and soon carried Lin Jia for another 150 miles.

Only then did he begin to pant slightly, and fine beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.

Even so, Luo Qianqiu's speed did not decrease much; his legs moved out like a spinning propeller.

And so he ran another fifty miles in one go, until Lin Jia behind him suddenly let out a painful groan, and he abruptly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Luo Qianqiu put the person down and asked in confusion.

"I don't know either. At first, I just felt hot, but then... my flesh and blood felt like they were drying up!" Lin Jia said with a pained expression.

Luo Qianqiu was taken aback at first, but then he realized that the power of 'Wilderness' had taken effect.

In the original story, when Ye Fan and the others first arrived at the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, the power that could strip away lifespan did not appear.

Instead, it erupts shortly after they leave the forbidden area, and it is not intense, precisely hitting the upper limit of each person's lifespan, causing aging but not death.

Otherwise, these mortals would have turned to dust long ago after spending a day and a night in the forbidden area.

It was because of this encounter that Ye Fan and his group were targeted by the Holy Land. They were simply too special. As mortals, they were able to walk out of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land alive, which was a miracle that has been created for all time!

The holy lands believed they possessed something special, so they captured them and used force to compel others to follow them into the forbidden area to gather herbs.

In this life, Luo Qianqiu and Lin Jia were separated from the others and were now more than two hundred miles away from the forbidden area.

Judging from the timeline, Ye Fan and the others should have already left the area of ​​the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

Therefore, the power of 'wilderness' erupted!

"Well……"

As Luo Qianqiu pondered, he felt himself getting hot, but not intensely. He figured it was because he had digested a lot of the sacred fruit, which counteracted the power of the 'Desolation'.

After a moment of reflection, Luo Qianqiu found that he could move freely and had no other problems except for the heat. So he picked up Lin Jia again and carried her slowly.

Only after discovering a natural cave did he secretly go inside.

The cave was vast, over a hundred feet deep and about ten feet high, winding and rugged inside, and pitch black.

Luo Qianqiu carried Lin Jia to the deepest part of the cave, gently leaned her against the stone wall, and then walked out of the cave.

About 15 minutes later, he returned to the cave, carrying some firewood and two prepared rabbits.

Clearly, Luo Qianqiu had left to find firewood to roast the rabbit he had killed earlier.

He was lucky, though. While looking for firewood, he encountered a gray rabbit, which he killed on a whim, plucked its fur, gutted it, and cleaned its internal organs all in one go.

After putting the things down, Luo Qianqiu first checked Lin Jia's condition and, finding that she was alright, took out a lighter, lit some dry firewood, and began roasting the prepared rabbit.

The fire blazed fiercely, the dry firewood crackled and popped as it was licked by the flames, and the aroma of meat quickly filled the cave, accompanied by the sizzling of grease.

Luo Qianqiu's cooking skills weren't very good, and since there were no seasonings available, the barbecue didn't taste delicious.

Fortunately, the Big Dipper Starfield is rich in spiritual energy. Although the two gray rabbits are ordinary beasts, they have been cleansed by spiritual energy over time, and their flesh has a fragrance. Even without seasoning, the taste of the meat itself is not bad.

Luo Qianqiu ate one of the two roasted rabbits and left the other for Lin Jia to eat when she woke up.

After finishing everything, Luo Qianqiu didn't waste any time and began practicing the Shakyamuni Sutra.

The essence of heaven and earth flowed slowly, entering through the pores of Luo Qianqiu's body. After flowing into his limbs and bones, it headed towards the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

At the same time, the vital energy hidden within the wheel of life is also guided out and surges towards the sea of ​​suffering.

The two streams of energy merged into the sea of ​​bitterness, and the light spots that were originally the size of corn kernels gradually brightened, spreading outwards from their edges.

This time, however, the speed was much slower and could not be compared to the last time.

Seeing this, Luo Qianqiu opened his eyes, took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, opened it, took a sip, carefully tightened the cap, and put it back in his backpack.

Then, he once again activated the ancient scripture, opening up the sea of ​​suffering.

"boom!"

As the divine spring water entered his stomach, a burst of pure energy exploded, accelerating the opening of the Bitter Sea, with its edges rapidly expanding outwards.

There were no amazing phenomena during the process; everything was calm and uneventful, except that the sea of ​​suffering was gradually growing larger.

Time passed quietly, and as the essence of the divine spring was completely refined, the Sea of ​​Bitterness had transformed from the size of a grain of corn into the size of a peanut.

Luo Qianqiu had an aura flowing around him, which made his black windbreaker billow out, and his short black hair danced wildly.

Everything calmed down only after the ancient scripture stopped functioning.

The cave returned to silence and darkness, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, with only occasional drops of water falling from the cave ceiling.

"Sizzle!"

Luo Qianqiu opened his eyes, and a divine light flashed across them, like two bolts of lightning, illuminating the dark cave for a moment.

He calmly stood up, a smile appearing on his face. The effects of the divine spring were beyond his imagination; just a small sip could bring about such a great change in the sea of ​​suffering.

Compared to this, the so-called Hundred Herbs Elixir is far inferior. Even a sacred place would probably not be able to produce such a divine substance for its disciples to use in order to escape the sea of ​​suffering.
