Chapter 47: Let him give up himself then

  Xu Yu certainly wants to learn, even if in today's society, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is fundamentally unable to display this type of martial skill. It's precisely because of this that he has made up his mind; otherwise, if it were truly like what was recorded in the secret manual, where one step would cause the heavens to collapse and the earth to shatter, he really wouldn't dare learn it.

  After all, he didn't mean to harm countless people in Linzhou.

  "With a hint of spiritual energy, the Void Step merged into his body. Even if he couldn't use it, just thinking about it made him yearn for more." Ignoring Lin Yan and his son's expressions, Xū Yú's mind flashed with a strange thought, a mere spark of spiritual energy, which he wasted no time in cultivating.

  It's like an ordinary person suddenly seeing a god-like figure, who with a wave of their hand can turn the world upside down, and naturally feels extremely envious and admiring.

  "By the way, Mr. Lin, could you prepare a quiet room for me and add some food?" Even though his mind was already elsewhere, Xuyu still reacted quickly and turned to face Lin Yan.

  "Ah…… okay, no problem." As he said this, Lin Yan, who had a strange expression on his face, finally came to and hastily nodded. However, afterwards, he suddenly realized what the other person was going to do and was taken aback. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but in the end, not a single word escaped his lips.

  "Dad." Lin Zhongzhi on one side was also tongue-tied, and looked at Lin Yan with even more caution.

  "Hurry up and prepare a clean guest room for Mr. Xu, and some food." Lin Zhong swept a glance at Lin Yan, who then spoke directly again, his tone filled with determination.

  After a sentence, Lin Zhongzhi immediately stopped talking and turned around to leave.

  "Thank you, Mr. Lin." It wasn't until then that Xu Yu suddenly expressed a sincere gratitude towards Lin Yan.

  "Hehe, it's all just small matters." Lin Yan smiled and waved his hand again, but deep down, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of frustration. He could understand Xu Yu's shock and longing at seeing that kind of power, after all, he had experienced it himself before. But the other party was actually so reckless... probably only when he himself had tried hard to pursue it but got nothing would he give up.

  As for how much more time would be wasted waiting for the other party to give up, Lin Yan didn't care in the slightest. After all, the other party wasn't even a martial artist, so how long could they make him wait?

  Very soon, Lin Zhongzhi, who had everything ready, rushed over again. Xǔ Yú also walked into a separate villa under the other's leadership, smiling. On the first floor, in a clean and refreshing guest room, on the table, there were a batch of exquisitely made drinks.

  After seeing Xu Yu, it seemed that he wanted to study the Treading Void Decision as soon as possible. Lin Yan and the others did not stay for long and directly bid farewell and left.

  It wasn't until he left the villa and walked out of the package that Lin Zhongzhi asked with a puzzled and strange expression, "Dad, can he really continue to study like this?"

  "Never mind, I believe it won't take him half a day to understand the difference between those who cultivate martial arts and those who cultivate immortality. It's better for him to experience these things himself than for us to remind him." As Lin Zhongzhi spoke, Lin Yan let out a bitter laugh and shook his head helplessly. This Xu Yu really didn't know anything about cultivating martial arts, despite having been explained so much before.

  "Heh heh, it can't be helped." Lin Zhong sighed and also smiled bitterly.

  ……………

  In the package room, Xu Yu didn't know about the conversation between the two people outside the door, but he could roughly guess. However, his face was still filled with excitement.

  "How many times do I need to merge and refine my energy to make it good? With my current 28-year-old vitality, even if I extract 7 or 8 parts of refined energy, leaving only around 20, I can still be radiant. At most, after returning home, I just need to rest a bit more."

  In his excitement, Xu Yu also began to merge, a new spiritual energy, directly with the disappearance of food, took shape in his mind, until his energy value dropped to 20, he suddenly stopped, and walked away from the dinner table, grabbed the Treading Void Decision placed on another table.

  Without any hesitation, Xu Yu directly opened Treading the Void and focused his attention on the vivid figure.

  In an instant, his entire train of thought was once again immersed in that strange space.

  This time, with mental preparation, when the figure reappeared and before it could take a step forward, Xǔ Yú directly merged a portion of his spiritual energy into himself, becoming even more focused, looking towards the opponent.

  He must seize the moment, for each spiritual energy has only a few seconds of fusion period. If it's missed, it means losing this opportunity to fuse.

  But in just over ten seconds, it was enough for him, and the figure took a step forward in the next second.

  "Hmm"

  The entire quiet valley also started to sway slightly, and the figure of the other party completely merged into the surrounding environment. At this moment, Xu Yu's eyes suddenly bulged out, staring tightly at every change in the figure.

  It is a process of relying on physical movements and integrating one's entire being with the surrounding environment to become completely unified.

  Under the terrifying effect of spiritual energy fusion, all the breath and movements of the opponent were directly imprinted in Xu Yu's mind, and even began to drive his own body to change in the same direction.

  "Wow!"

  Following suit, Xu Yu also relied on his instincts, only taking a slightly slower pace than the other party, and took the first step.

  However, even he didn't know that this was a step taken in that illusory ancient tome space. When it extended to his real body, that physical form also really took a step forward.

  After all, he was only drawn into this strange space for some reason, but his thoughts still affected his body.

  Just as he took a step out, Xǔ Yú's body suddenly underwent a strange transformation in the guest room, as if at the moment he lifted his foot, he was like an outsider trying to forcibly insert himself into the originally interconnected and self-contained environment of the guest room.

  At first, he still had a somewhat stiff feeling, but in that one step, the process of crossing over, his movements suddenly became smooth and gentle, as if only for an instant, he found a gap that perfectly fit him into the environment, just enough to accommodate himself entering.

  "Hmph!"

  One step, finally stepped down, and at the moment he touched the ground, Xu Yu's entire body somehow merged into the surrounding environment. Perhaps, at first glance, his fusion with the environment still had a hint of discord, but he really did blend in.

  What's even more terrifying is that this slightly discordant feeling disappeared at a visibly rapid speed.

  "Wow!"

  At the same time, in the secret space, that illusory figure raised its second step. As it did, the valley within the space, which had already merged with him completely, also let out a clear and loud rumble.

  It's as if the other party took a step forward, merged into the environment, and thoroughly cut their thoughts into the environment. Then, like controlling the body, they controlled the surrounding rocks and had the action of starting to move forward.

  This is the true essence of Treading on Air, using one's body to transform objects, with one's own strong physique as the medium, issuing commands for movement to the environment that has already merged with oneself, and the omnipresent spiritual energy is the driving force behind his control over heaven and earth.

  Silently, a flash of insight suddenly appeared in Xu Yu's mind. He didn't know how he came up with this realization, perhaps it was the effect of the spiritual energy merging, but he didn't have time to think about it either. He directly took the second step he had just learned in the midst of the merge.

  "Hmm"

  Inside the room, the body that was originally closed-eyed also took another step forward. As soon as this foot lifted off the ground, all the original awkwardness and stiffness had completely disappeared, perfectly blending in with the surrounding environment.

  But almost at the same time, a change that even Lian Xuyu did not expect suddenly arose.

  Suddenly, a thread of spiritual energy burst out from his closed mind.

  These spiritual energies were the ones he was using to perform the Void Step, which required a massive amount of spiritual energy to support it in order to mobilize the power of heaven and earth. When the surrounding heaven and earth's spiritual energy was insufficient, Xǔ Yú's own spiritual energy actually served as this source of power directly.

  Of course, if there was only this spirit, it would be too insignificant. What's terrifying is that these spirits, after leaving Xu Yu's mind, directly disappeared into the heavens and earth without a trace.

  At the same time, within a radius of several meters around him, the extremely thin and weak spiritual energy that was originally at its limit suddenly surged up and frantically poured into Xu Yu's body.

  Indeed, in today's society, spiritual energy is scarce, but it's not completely nonexistent.

  If there wasn't a hint of spiritual energy, I'm afraid that even a martial arts family like the Lin's wouldn't exist. For cultivators, it's only when the sky is divided into Yin and Yang at midnight that a wisp of spiritual energy will appear, which can be used for cultivation.

  But in fact, the spiritual energy has always existed, but at other times, it is a dead silence, and even thinner, pitifully thin, even if there is, it cannot be used by cultivators, only when the midnight, various spiritual energies become dense, active, is the best time for cultivation.

  At this moment, the spiritual energy within a few meters, even if all gathered together, is still an negligible amount. However, from this point on, a larger range of tens of meters, hundreds of meters, and thousands of meters around it, the originally dormant and invisible spiritual energy suddenly moved, like flowing water, rushing towards the central independent villa.
