Chapter 191 The True Saint on Earth, Walking on Water
This time the panel update has added a lot of new content, in addition to two new functions that can break the skill and status limits.
The panel also rates and categorizes the awakening status. For example, for the [Sacred Heart] status, the system gives a level 10 recognition.
The second one is [Red Dust Immortal (Level 8)]. Things like [Harmony between Man and Nature] and [Insight into the Mysterious Caves] are rated at Level 7. The next ones are [Inner Vision (Level 6)], [Cleansing the Meridians and Marrow (Level 5)], [Combining Hardness and Softness] and [Building the Foundation and Nourishing the Essence], all of which are Level 4 passive skills. Further down are the active killing moves of hard skills and perfect boxing skills, and passive bonuses, all of which are rated at a low level of 1 to 3.
For example, Chen Jue's initial learning of Boat Fist and the awakening of Eight Immortals Posture [Laughing Eight Immortals (Level 2)], and [Lü Zu's Enlightenment] were given a Level 3 rating.
As for the evaluation of Chen Jue, the system gave him an evaluation of "true saint on earth", treating him as a saint in human history and legend.
"A living saint walking among men?"
"You think too highly of me." Chen Jue said to himself while riding a yak and looking at the evaluation given on the panel.
While studying the newly updated panel, he spent 0.09 attributes to merge the three eye skills of [Vajra Wrathful Eyes] + [Giant Spirit Eyes] + [Candle Dragon Secret Eyes], all of which were Lv1, and obtained a new eye skill [Three Religions Eyes Lv2 (1/200)].
In addition, Chen Jue also integrated the three perfect [Flying Over the Eaves and Walking on the Walls] + [Piercing Through Flowers and Catching Butterflies] + [Night Walking Skills] to obtain a new [Wudang Light Skills General Principles Lv4 (1/2000)] that broke through the upper limit of perfect light skills, consuming a total of 0.12 free attribute points.
Chen Jue seemed to be addicted to playing a game. When he threw in several perfect boxing techniques and standing exercises to integrate them, he found that he only had 0.01 free attribute points left.
In the operation just now, Chen Jue also discovered that the fusion skill did not simply consume free attribute points. Through [Inner Vision], he found that the nutrients and energy in his body would also be consumed to a certain extent when fusing skills.
After the fusion creates a new skill, it will also feed back to him a strange memory, letting him know the specific practice method of this new skill. It is like an epiphany, extremely mysterious.
"The new features are a bit addictive, it's worthy of being a new version."
"It's just that the free attribute points are a bit too precious!"
Chen Determined sighed, looked at the dense skill list, and then reluctantly exited the panel. Sitting on the back of the ox to move the blood and qi around his eyes, he began to practice the newly integrated [Three Religions Dharma Eye].
This new eye skill combines the strengths of Buddhism, Taoism and martial arts. Practicing it can further enhance the visual ability of both eyes. In order to replenish the energy consumed during practice, Chen Jue even ate the last bit of dry food left in his backpack.
Watching the free attribute points slowly increasing and the proficiency of [Three Religions Dharma Eye] rising bit by bit, Chen Jue knew that it was time to end his journey of enlightenment from nature .
…
Driving the yaks at a quick pace, the man and the yak left the vicinity of the Qilian Snow Mountains, passed through the snow-white mountains and glacial valleys, and came to the edge of a huge lake that looked like the ocean.
Chen Jue knew that he had arrived at the famous Blue Sea Lake. The azure water in front of him was connected to the sky, surrounded by icebergs in the distance, and white clouds floated low above the lake.
The blend of blue, white and gray is magnificent and tranquil. In addition, there are traces of birds and animals by the lake. Although it is cold, the lake is not lifeless. It seems to be waiting for the coming spring to come alive again.
This is the largest inland lake in the Flower-Growing Country, right next to the Qilian Mountains. Chen Jue never thought that he would lead the wild yaks on a hike to attain enlightenment, and actually travel all the way from Tianzhu County to this Blue Sea Lake.
As for the wild yak next to him, after arriving at the edge of the blue sea lake, it suddenly became excited, because several kilometers away from Chen Jue and his party, there was a large group of wild yaks licking the natural crystallized lake salt by the lake.
Animals, like humans, need to consume salt and minerals. For example, the well-known panda was known as the iron-eating beast in ancient times. This is because when there was no salt to eat, pandas liked to go to humans' homes and lick the remaining salt in iron pots. Humans at the time mistakenly believed that pandas were eating iron, hence the name "iron-eating beast."
This group of wild yaks are blessed with the Blue Water Lake, a natural salt factory, for replenishment, so they don't have to go into the herders' homes to lick the iron pots.
Looking at the wild yaks in the distance, and sensing the eagerness of the silly yak beside him to return home, Chen Jue smiled slightly, knowing that his fate with this silly yak had ended, and it was time to send it back to nature. He reached out and stroked its head affectionately for the last time, patted the yak's butt and urged: "Go quickly! Return to your tribe, that's where you should stay!"
The wild yak looked back at Chen Jue with some reluctance in its eyes. After several days of companionship, it had already deeply remembered Chen Jue, this god-like human being. It nudged Chen Jue with its head, and finally let out a long "moo", turned around and rushed towards the herd of cattle in the distance, raising clouds of dust on the muddy ground by the lake .
Chen Jue watched the wild yak that accompanied him in enlightenment go away, wishing it a good home in the future. He turned his head and looked at the place across the lake where there was vaguely a town.
"It seems a bit far to take a detour!" Chen Jue thought so, took off his boots, rolled up his trouser legs, held up his boots with both hands, and walked into the cold lake step by step.
Not until the lake water submerged his calves did Chen Jue exert force with his feet, like a duck stepping on water. The light and dark forces burst out at the same time, and the whole person actually floated on the surface of the Blue Sea Lake!
Every time he exerted force with his feet, he would create a shock wave several meters deep under the water, making the bottom of the lake turbid. The reaction force of stepping on the water lifted Chen Jue and kept him suspended above the water, preventing the part of his body above the knees from sinking.
It is actually not difficult to jump out of the water by treading water. After swimming for a few years, some experienced swimming experts will be able to dive into the water, even roll upside down in the water, and then jump out of the water in an instant.
But Chen Jue stretched this moment into a normal state, walking on the water without letting the water wet his clothes!
It has been recorded in boxing classics that when boxing martial arts are practiced to the highest level, one can indeed achieve the skill of "water cannot reach above the knees".
However, that also requires the simultaneous explosion of light and dark forces to lift a person out of the water. This is a very physically demanding task, and ordinary people would not be able to hold on for long before sinking back into the water.
But Chen Jue is already a true saint on earth, with the added bonus of powerful attributes and a series of bonuses from light skills such as [Light as a Swallow], which have turned walking on water from a legend into reality. Moreover, the Blue Sea Lake is a saltwater lake with greater buoyancy than normal lake water, which can support Chen Jue and prevent him from sinking.
Chen Jue enjoyed walking on the water and improving his proficiency in the [General Principles of Wudang Light Kung Fu].
In ancient times, Bodhidharma crossed the river with only a reed. Now here comes Chen Jue, a true saint on earth, who doesn't even need the reed to help him step on the water. He simply and roughly walks on the water and crosses the surface of the Blue Sea Lake.
After spending half an hour crossing a section of the Blue Sea Lake diagonally over a distance of more than 20 kilometers, Chen Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the lakeside on the other side.
Using the strength of his legs to shake off the water droplets on his calves, Chen Jue put on his socks and boots again, and slowly walked into the sparsely populated tourist town in the distance.
It was snowing and icy at the moment, and it was the off-season for tourism at Blue Sea Lake. There were not many tourists in the tourist town, so Chen Jue walking across the lake did not cause any commotion.
He found a small supermarket, opened the glass door and walked in. Seeing the store owner playing computer games at the counter, Chen Jue took out his long-unused mobile phone and charger and asked, "Boss, my phone is out of battery. Can I borrow a plug to charge it?"
