Chapter 161: Chapter 161 Training Body Underwater
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Before the Chill Serpent evolved into a Dragon, it was naturally born with a mysterious chiling ability that was difficult to control. Thus, wherever it was located at any given time would freeze for hundreds of miles around.
Apart from the water temperature being slightly warm, and the water quality and air being clear, everything else was similar to ten thousand years in the future.
In the future, this place would be owned by a friend of his, creating a private island. His friend had changed the landscaping and renovated the place. However, looking at it now, it seemed like the natural scenery was a small battlefield.
Looking around, Zong Shou took out a few pills from his sleeves and swallowed them. Among them, the Body Washing Pill was necessary. Next would be the Psychic Mysterious Sense Pill, as well as two more pills called the Yang Fire Body Warming Pill and the Foundation Breathing Pill.
The latter could help one’s breathing, while the former didn’t have much use besides keeping the body as warm as an ember. These items were frequently seen even among commoners, especially in the slightly colder regions, where every house stored plenty of the pills.
In the end, after hesitating a little, Zong Shou decided to swallow a Spiritual Meridian Pill. When his body started to warm up, he took off his jacket, only keeping his under clothes. He somersaulted and dove into the pond.
He dove down to 1700 feet, where he felt currents flowing.
By the time he got to that point, the air in his chest was already used up. Luckily, using Little Gold and the Spiritual Vein Pearl, along with the fact that he was already a fake pill Xiantian, he was able to breathe by using the Breathing Pill and spiritual energy, so he had no fear of running out of air.
He continued to dive down, and about every ten feet he felt the pressure on him increase little by little. It was like there were five thousand kilograms of weight on him, about to crush his body. The currents at the bottom of the pond were an unstoppable force, charging and smashing into him.
Each hit brought about five thousand kilograms of force.
This lake was different from other lakes in the Cloud World. Although it seemed calm on the surface, the water was surging down below. The closer one was to the center, the more apparent it became.
This blackwater pond looked independent, but it was actually connected to the lake outside. Similarly, there were many currents that were even stronger. However, this place had abundant spiritual energy and it was away from where the Chill Serpent was resting; it was the most abundant place within a thousand square miles.

A roughly thousand-foot round stone platform appeared in front of his eyes. His body instantly tensed, and shot forward like an arrow.
Just as he was about to step up, a sudden current knocked him over with a force that could part the seas.
Zong Shou wasn’t astonished, but instead was delighted. If he wasn’t deep underwater, he would have just laughed out loud.
Ten thousand years from now, there were still not many changes to this place. But the current in this era was much stronger.
Conveniently, such a situation was exactly what he wanted!
He punched out using all of his strength, borrowing the tens of thousands of kilograms of the External Pill, to directly shatter the water current.
He then stepped onto the middle of the stone and right into the middle.
Now, although he felt immense pressure on his body, his bones even crackling, the vital energy and qi in his body was swiftly swarming. His heart was also like volcano pumping, warm and exciting.
In his last life, he borrowed the strong water pressure and currents, using a full three years to breathe through his barriers of Heaven. However in this era, using the essence of the lightning phoenix, he should be able to shorten that time to a tenth!
The effects of the Meridian Spirit Pill started to work, his veins and meridians began to soften, twist, and turn.
Zong Shou smiled, not bothering about the pain, moving himself towards the center of the platform. He started to train the series of the Spiral Meridian Energy Leading Technique.
Unlike normal, every action he did underwater was many times more difficult.
Under the water’s pressure, moving his hands and legs needed tens and hundred times more strength than usual. In the hidden current, if he wasn’t careful and his actions went out of shape, his entire body would be intense pain.
However a short moment later, not only did Zong Shou’s meridians start to twist, all his blood vessels and even his flesh and bones started to burn.
It wasn’t just because of the Body Washing Pill and Yang Fire Body Warming Pill coming into effect, it was because Zong Shou’s motions had started to move all the energy in his body.
“Having the Lightning Phoenix Essence, the feeling of training underwater is so much different from my last life! However it is also thanks to the Psychic Mysterious Sense Pill that Yiren refined..”
The effects of this pill was exactly what Yiren said. Not only did it reduce pain, it also helped one maintain a clear mind. action
This was exactly what was happening to Zong Shou. Under the effects of the pill, his senses was really clear. However, he found he would rather faint.
The feeling of being swallowed and consumed by ants all through his body, in his meridians and muscles, was challenging his limits.
Luckily the Psychic Mysterious Sense Pill also helped increase soul power. Using this immense pain to torture himself, the whirlpool in his soul ocean started to shrink. The spiritual energy inside, however, was starting to slowly increase.
What made him happy was that under the effects of the Body Washing Pill, the Xiantian essence energy in his body was merging with him at a shocking speed.
Pretty much every few moments he could clearly feel his body becoming stronger and stronger. His meridians were getting tougher and firmer.
In his last life, when he cultivated to the 9th meridian peak of the Bodily Chakra level and was obstructed by the barriers from Heaven, he was able to improve for a year and a half. In the depths of the Water Spirit Lake, he practiced various fists methods as well as his self-created Energy Leading Art.
The other time, his thoughts were simple; since the amount of energy the Bodily Chakra level could keep was not enough to break through the barriers from Heaven, then he would train and make his body stronger. It made his meridians wider and firmer, until the accumulated true qi was enough to shock and break through the barriers of Heaven.
However, although the past him had borrowed the help of spiritual herbs, it couldn’t be compared to the Xiantian essence energy in his body now.
Using such a method to train the body consumed a lot of stamina and was like having an intense battle, like the one he had with Li Yaling. In just half an hour, Zong Shou was already panting. Luckily, even though this was underwater, when he was tired, he could stop and hide at a place where the currents were weaker.
His blood was boiling and the accumulated Xiantian essence energy was merging into the body. Bits of impurities were excreted out from his pores from his body.
Not even needing to breathe, his body could maintain itself, and not feel any suffocating feeling.
————–
Several hours later, when the effects of the Meridian Spirit Pill slowly faded, Zong Shou kicked the stone hard and swam upwards.
His entire body felt soft and sore, unable to use any strength. Happily, he still had the Lightning Traveling Spirit Bone, which could still be of help underwater. When he floated out of the water, he saw that it was already evening. The sun was touching the western horizon.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Great! I’m able to use this Energy Leading Method five times more than previously. My bodily strength has increased, although it can’t be compared to the potential brought out in the battles with Li Yaling and Hu Qianqiu, accumulating it over days and months it will amount to more. Who knows, maybe in three or four months I can try to break the barriers from Heaven!”
The meridians within Zong Shou’s body were numb and soft. All the energy within his body was used up, and he could only lie on the surface of the water, devoid of energy.
He felt really relaxed, enjoying the comfort of the pain all disappearing, feeling delighted about his benefits from the training. He also thought back to the past, and his tough training days.
Then he thought of Chuxue, who was still catching fish.
“With my current situation, I should be able to train a series of fist techniques under water. However with her personality, if she doesn’t see my return she will be really anxious...”
With a thought, a talisman flew into the air from the clothes he had placed by the pond.
Zong Shou also casually called over the spirit ink within the bag, writing, “I’m fine, I’ll come back now”, before folding it into a crane.
He exclaimed about how these spirit masters were more convenient than martial cultivation and more amazing. Just a thought, and the crane flapped its wings, shaking them to its sides before flying east.
After eating several dry biscuits, Zong Shou laid motionless on the water’s surface. He seemed to have fallen asleep, only his breathing was still regulated.
——-
Who knows how long passed, until when the sun totally set did he feel the energy in his meridians filling up once more. The swelling and soreness in his bones slowly dissipated.
Zong Shou suddenly opened his eyes, the World Shocking True Energy exerting some force. Numerous acupoints were easily broken inside his external meridians.
Only when the energy within his body rotated once more did he dive into the water once more.
In his last life, when he trained here he could only borrow specialized diving equipment. In this life with Little Gold, the external pill and the Xiantian essence energy in his body, the effects were similar. He could even stay underwater for a longer time.
Actually training the fist underwater could be done anywhere in this Water Fairy Lake. However, only the strong spiritual energy in this pond would allow his body training effect to reach the highest point.
He still went down two thousand feet, onto that stone platform. This time he didn’t eat the Meridian Spirit Pill, just the Body Washing Pill and Foundation Breathing Pill, before standing on the platform.
This time, he didn’t use the soft Energy Leading Technique, and instead punched out fist after fist. Simple fists flew one after another, the fist strength not slowing down or decreasing, not rushing; they were really stable and simple, nothing hidden and nothing spectacular.
But when this fist struck out, the smoothly flowing underwater current suddenly moved.
Zong Shou’s fist speed slowly grew quicker and quicker, pretty much going all out with each fist. His internal energy was boiling as he stirred up the surrounding water.
In just a short moment, a whirlpool formed underwater, getting bigger and bigger, swirling with no signs of stopping. The speed of the current also increased by several times as it swirled around him!
