nChapter 43: No Law, No Shape, No Void, No Me

nThe water flow slowly turned into a mighty flow of stormy waters. Yi Yun knew that he was approaching the waterfall.

nHe kept adjusting his breathing rhythm, keeping his body in its optimum state.

nOn Earth, people had dived from sixty meters without dying, as for the East River’s waterfall, it was at a height of a hundred meters.

nAlthough Yi Yun’s fitness level was superior, he had never undergone professional diving lessons. Besides, he was not in his best condition, so it was a huge challenge.

n“Boom!”

nYi Yun could hear the sound of the waterfall crashing into the plunge basin. The rapids had already sucked Yi Yun forward.

nAfter churning in the water, Yi Yun suddenly felt an emptiness under his feet. The instant feeling of weightlessness overwhelmed Yi Yun. All he saw from above was the whiteness of the torrential waters.

nWith that, he fell a hundred meters down the waterfall.

nFrom afar, the majestic cliffs looked like a giant standing at attention. The waterfall that flowed from the cliffs looked like the sword of the giant. With the giant leaning on the sword, the scene was extremely breathtaking.

nAs for Yi Yun, he was just a tiny black dot rolling down the giant sword at an impressive speed!

n“Splash!”

nThe large splash resembled a lotus in full bloom.

nThe water assault Yi Yun experienced after resurfacing was tremendous. The powerful force attacked his organs and body. It made Yi Yun feel like his body was on an anvil, being forged by a hammer.

nThis heavy blow loosened Yi Yun’s muscles. Although it caused immense pain throughout his body, he still felt an incredible sense of comfort.

nYi Yun held his breath and dived straight down!

nHis body was on fire. The deeper he went into the icy cold water, the more comfortable he felt.

nBy doing so, he had quietly dived to a depth he had never previously reached.

nTill he…

nReached the bottom!

nThis was the first time Yi Yun had managed to reach the bottom of the plunge basin!

nAt the bottom of the plunge basin was clean and pure sand. The sand was like polished jade. Yi Yun curled up his body into a fetal position, and seemed to fall into deep sleep at the bottom of the plunge basin.

nHe had seemed to lost the concept of time. After an unknown period of time, Yi Yun felt a cool feeling in his heart. It prevented him from suffocating even though he wasn’t able to breathe.

nThe heat in his meridians began to cool down from the cold water. The water carried on exerting its pressure on Yi Yun’s organs…

nYi Yun felt as if he had returned to his mother’s body. He felt like a baby in his mother’s womb, cut off from the outside world…

nIt was as if a fire was burning in his body. Yi Yun’s only thought was to digest that energy as fast as possible. If not, it could burst his channels, and result in a devastating outcome.

nIn the nearly zero degree celsius plunge basin, Yi Yun’s body temperature rapidly decreased. A person in zero degrees air would not die as long as they stayed awake. But when surrounded by zero-degrees water, it would not take ten minutes for the person to be frozen completely.

nThe low temperature, high pressure and lack of oxygen was a harsh environment. It allowed Yi Yun to quickly consume the desolate bones energy within his body. As his body consumed the energy, his body’s constitution was improved, and went through a Marrow Cleansing.

nAs the passage of time flowed, it was silent underwater. There was not the slightest movement in the plunge basin. It was as if Yi Yun had entered a completely independent space-time dimension. In this dimension, he could hear his slow but lingering heart beat.

n“Dum! Dum! Dum!”

nAgain and again, the rhythm spaced out in intervals like a pendulum.

nSlowly, it seemed like Yi Yun’s soul had left his body. His last thought in his mind had disappeared. Yi Yun seemed to had frozen up.

nA person who loses his consciousness during a deep dive was doomed to die.

nAlthough Yi Yun had lost consciousness, the Purple Crystal in his chest was slowly pulsating, sending energy to every part of Yi Yun’s body.

nYi Yun had entered an ethereal state. Every cell of his body was absorbing the desolate bone energy to fight the cold and fighting the alarming pressure!

nIn fact, even a top skill like “Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist” was unable to train every inch of flesh and blood. No matter if it was “Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain” or “Dragon Rising to Nine Skies”, there would be parts of the body it would miss.

nWherever it missed, it would become a weakness of the warrior.

nThe only stance “Dragon Dancing in Vast Water” could use the enormous water pressure to, in theory, uniformly train every inch of a warrior’s body.

nNonetheless, there was a physical limit. Not many could practice “Dragon Dancing in Vast Water” to the extreme.

nTo be able to temper every inch of flesh and blood, one had to enter an ethereal state of mind, or a person’s body will be subjected to the regulations of the mind. It will consciously use the most often used strong organs. For instance, when a person pushes a boulder, they will inadvertently use their familiar hands, and exert pressure.

nOnly by emptying one’s consciousness could every cell resist the pressure and cold naturally. Only then can the body be tempered completely. Under such a state, a person’s body will follow its instincts. This was also the concept of “No Law, No Shape, No Void, No Me”!

nTo be able to enter this state was extremely difficult. It was even harder to achieve that in the deep waters as losing consciousness was equivalent to suicide!

nAlthough Yi Yun had lost his consciousness, the Purple Crystal Origins was distributing energy through Yi Yun’s blood. Yi Yun’s brain, meridians and organs were nourished by the energy. A person’s body needed to breathe because the body needed to release energy through respiration. But with the Purple Crystal Origins providing energy, oxygen was no longer needed.

nIn this state, Yi Yun unwittingly spent a whole day and night underwater!

nAll his bones, organs, and cells were suddenly alive. It seemed like they had developed their independent consciousness.

nIt was until late in the morning of the second day that Yi Yun slowly floated up. It was just like a drowned body floating…

n…

nThe Cloud Wilderness was one of the twenty-four wild lands of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. Besides the wonderlands protected by the large tribes, few people trod through the wilderness.

nIn the Cloud Wilderness, besides the wonderlands people gathered around, there was another place known as “Desolate Lands”!

nThe Desolate Lands had rich Power of Desolates. And the really strong desolate beasts were all found in the middle of the “Desolate Lands”!

nA lacking warrior would definitely die if he entered the Desolate Lands!!

nBut…at this time, along the boundaries of the “Desolate Lands” of the Cloud Wilderness appeared an elder and a young girl.

nThe elder was dressed in a yellow robe. His body was overweight and he had a ruddy complexion. Only his eyes were small, making him look ugly.

nAs for the young girl beside him, she had a slim figure. She looked seventeen. Her eyebrows were curved above a pair of slender eyes. A pair of pupils as clear as spring water resided within those eyes. They were extremely clear.

nThe young lady wore a set of linen clothes. Under the rough sleeves, an arm as white as a lotus root could be seen.

nThis girl had delicate white skin, with thin blood vessels running through.

nGenerally speaking, such white skin with redness was very beautiful. This was also a symbol of health. However, this girl’s skin though white gave off a feeling of weakness.

nBut one wouldn’t think so just by looking at the situation.

nThe young girl’s jade like hands were dyed red from blood. And in front of the young girl laid a dead fierce beast the size of a cow. This girl had slain it single-handedly!
