648: Chapter 207_4 648: Chapter 207_4 Utilizing divine skills requires mana, but without spiritual energy, one naturally cannot gather mana, and the divine skills naturally disappear.
On the shore, the others hadn’t jumped into the river with Cao Zhen.
At this moment, seeing the protective divine power vanish from Cao Zhen’s body, each of them was horrified and shocked.
“Master!”
“Master, what’s wrong with you?”
“Master, come back quickly!”
“Little Six, what’s happening?
Did you get attacked?”
The crowd exclaimed in a panic, and Ling Xi even moved forward, about to jump into the water.
Thankfully, Li Lingwei, quick to react, grabbed Ling Xi, urgently saying, “Don’t go down!
We can help your master better from the shore.
Ask your master first, what happened.”
Cao Zhen, feeling the spiritual energy vanishing from within him, was filled with concern and immediately turned back to shout at the people on the shore, “Don’t come down, there’s no spiritual energy in this river!”
“What?
No spiritual energy?” Beichen Ying was stunned for a moment before he shouted, “We can clearly feel the spiritual energy.
How can there be no spiritual energy in the river?
Could it be that something in the river is blocking the entry of spiritual energy?
But that shouldn’t be possible.
Little Six, did anything attack you?”
“No, I wasn’t attacked.
Wait, let me go to the shore first!” Now that Cao Zhen had fallen into the water and could not feel a trace of spiritual energy, he felt as if he were simply an ordinary person!
An ordinary person, in a strange river where his feet could not touch the ground, he unexpectedly felt a sense of unease that he hadn’t experienced for a long time.
So, in a certain situation, he was still just an ordinary person.
Previously, his mindset had changed because he had his cultivation base, but now, without spiritual energy, he didn’t have any cultivation base at all!
Cao Zhen paddled with his arms and quickly swam toward the shore.
Fortunately, the river was not wide, and soon he reached the opposite bank, grabbed the edge, and with a strong push, he leaped up, climbing onto the shore.
Turning back to look at the people on the opposite bank, Cao Zhen’s expression became even more grave.
“Spiritual energy, I still don’t feel any spiritual energy,” Cao Zhen shouted across to the opposite side, “How about you all, can you feel the spiritual energy?”
“Of course we can,” replied Beichen Ying from across the river, “this spiritual energy is no different from before.”
“We feel the same.”
“So it seems that this river is like a boundary line, with no spiritual energy on that side, while this side has spiritual energy?”
“What do we do now?”
“Let’s cross the river.
The Heaven Illusion Sword Monarch said only by crossing the river can we get his treasure and leave this place.”
Hearing the crowd’s words, Cao Zhen quickly shouted again, “Wait a moment, especially all the women, be careful.”
Cao Zhen, feeling the changes in his body, shouted, “It’s not just the lack of spiritual energy here, but our body’s strength too.
I’ve found that my body’s strength now is only slightly stronger than an ordinary person’s, not at all like what someone at the Golden Core Stage should possess!
I even struggled to climb out of the water just now.”
His body’s strength was comparable to that of Xiang Ziyu, having reached the limit of the Golden Core Stage, yet now, Cao Zhen felt he was only a little stronger than an ordinary person.
What about the others?
Would they become like ordinary people, or remain like him, just slightly stronger than an ordinary person?
“What?”
“Our body’s strength too will change?”
“This…
what kind of method is this?
After such an immense period of time, not only can it still isolate spiritual energy, but it can even change the strength of our bodies.”
“How did he manage to do it?”
“Isolating spiritual energy, I can still understand, but for our body’s strength to become like an ordinary person’s…
”
“It must be a formation…
There must be a great formation on that side!”
“Such a method, I have not seen recorded in the ancient texts of our Hundred Peaks Sect.
Even in those records involving strong practitioners of the Immortal Realm, there was no mention of such miraculous skills.”
“That person, he couldn’t be stronger than the Immortality Regainment Realm, could he?”
At this moment, everyone was completely dumbfounded.
After a short while, Beichen Ying was the second to jump into the water following Cao Zhen.
If they were all without cultivation, essentially ordinary people, men are naturally stronger than women.
Besides Cao Zhen, there were three other men left; Little Beiyan was still a child, Xiang Ziyu was still in a period of weakness, so it was up to Beichen Ying to cross the river first.
After Beichen Ying swam to the bank and tried to climb out, he needed even more help than Cao Zhen, and even required Cao Zhen’s support to make it to shore.
Beichen Ying, having survived the Wind Fire Tribulation, now climbed onto the shore and began to pant heavily.
“This…
this is barely stronger than an ordinary person,” Beichen Ying complained bitterly, “I feel like, my breathing is even worse than an ordinary person’s.”
After Beichen Ying, the crowd, one by one, entered the water.
Now that Cao Zhen and Beichen Ying were on the shore, they could help pull people out together.
It was just about helping people onto the shore, but after everyone was up, Beichen Ying even shook his arm and muttered softly, “I can actually feel my arms are sore.
How long has it been since I felt this?
I really feel like I’m no better than an ordinary person, or like an elderly ordinary person.”
