Chapter 308 Moving Heaven and Earth with One Hand, Imprisoning Heaven in the Great Wilderness!
Cai Lin and the others exchanged glances, knowing that Lu Yu had his own plans, and then stepped into the spatial passage one by one.
After the last person left, Lu Yu turned around and gazed at the vast continent beneath his feet.
His eyes flashed with lightning, and nine lightning patterns lit up in succession around his body, instantly pushing his Nine-Patterned Lightning Body to its limit. A vast imperial might spread out, enveloping the entire void under his aura.
It then slowly rose into the air, finally hovering directly above the continent. As its hands formed a seal, a surge of powerful battle energy erupted, condensing into a gigantic hand ten thousand feet tall in the sky.
The giant hand slowly descended, attempting to lift the entire continent. However, at that moment, the continent trembled slightly, the surrounding space began to vibrate violently, and dark spatial cracks spread like a spider web, emitting a tearing sound that made one's teeth ache.
"That was a bit too much noise—"
"If we really move them like this, Canaan Academy might not be able to survive—"
Lu Yu frowned slightly and immediately withdrew the giant hand formed from battle qi. He stood with his hands behind his back in the void, pondering for a moment, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
Then his hands formed a seal again, this time the movements were even more mysterious and unpredictable, his ten fingers flying as he outlined countless ancient runes, and a vast power wave originating from the ancient times spread out.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the entire void stabilized, and the previously shattered spatial cracks healed at a visible speed. A gigantic hand, blotting out the sky, appeared out of thin air, its five fingers as majestic as pillars supporting the heavens, and the lines on its palm as clearly visible as the veins of mountains and rivers.
Even more miraculously, a spatial force that imprisoned heaven and earth flowed around the giant hand, like a galaxy surrounding it, completely stabilizing the space of the entire continent.
"Divine Power, Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Hand!"
Since breaking through to the Dou Di realm, he has mastered this perfected divine technique to perfection, possessing a profound power comparable to divine abilities within the inheritance, capable of changing the world with every move.
At this moment, at the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower outside.
As Little Fairy Doctor and her group stepped out of the spatial passage, Elder Su Qian, who had been waiting there, immediately came to greet them.
"You all got up here so quickly?"
Su Qian stroked his beard and smiled, then asked, "What's the situation down below?"
-
"all the best."
Little Fairy Doctor smiled and replied, "We also cleared out the fire lizardmen in the lava. From now on, the Grand Elder can arrange for the students to go deeper into the lava to cultivate."
"That's excellent!"
Su Qian nodded with satisfaction, then her gaze fell on the distinguished middle-aged man beside the four women. "May I ask who this is—"
Before he could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly arose outside the tower. Su Qian frowned slightly: "Why is it so noisy outside?"
The group quickly walked out of the Qi Refining Tower, only to find a large number of students gathered below, all looking up at the sky with expressions of shock.
The once bright sky had darkened without anyone noticing, as if dusk had arrived prematurely.
"What happened?" Su Qian asked in a deep voice.
A student pointed tremblingly to the sky: "Elder, look—up there—"
Su Qian looked up and immediately gasped.
Above the heavens, a colossal hand, blotting out the sun, was slowly moving a majestic continent. The continent was dotted with continuous mountain ranges, winding rivers, and scattered forests and lakes, resembling a complete world suspended in the sky.
What's even more awe-inspiring is that the five fingers of this giant hand are like pillars supporting the sky, and the palm lines are like the veins of the earth, exuding a terrifying pressure.
"Clang—"
A freshman's longsword fell to the ground, but he was completely unaware.
"This...this is a hand supporting the continent?"
Some trainees' voices trembled, almost unable to believe their eyes.
The entire Canaan Academy fell silent; everyone was stunned into silence by the scene. Even the experienced Su Qian and the elders had never witnessed such earth-shattering power, and they all stood there dumbfounded.
Little Fairy Doctor and the others stood there, gazing at the giant hand that held up the continent, their beautiful eyes filled with shock.
Although they already knew that Lu Yu was a Dou Di powerhouse, witnessing such earth-shattering divine power still stirred their hearts.
"This is what a Dou Di powerhouse looks like—"
Zhu Kun stood with his hands behind his back, a complex expression in his eyes. This once invincible ancient dragon emperor of the Void couldn't help but feel longing as he gazed at the supreme divine power that could change the world.
He had lived for tens of thousands of years and witnessed the rise of countless geniuses, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a scene.
It was truly an eye-opening experience.
"Father—" Zi Yan noticed Zhu Kun's expression and called out softly.
Zhu Kun withdrew his gaze and revealed a relieved smile: "To see you safe and sound, my thousands of years of waiting have been worthwhile. Whether I become emperor or not is no longer important."
At this moment, Lu Yu's voice rang in everyone's ears: "You all wait here at Canaan Academy for a while, I'll be right back."
Before the words had even finished, the giant hand in the sky that held up the entire continent suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
With a slight tremor, it transformed into a streak of light that stretched across the heavens and earth, hurtling towards the Central Plains at a speed beyond comprehension. Wherever the light passed, the clouds naturally parted, leaving a lingering trail of light in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the streak of light had traversed countless mountains and rivers, appearing above the Tianmu Mountains in the northern region of Central China.
A massive shadow fell, plunging the entire mountain range and even the whole of the northern region into silence.
Qinglin, who was handling the affairs of the palace, hurried out of the main hall. When she looked up and saw this earth-shattering scene, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim softly, "That is—Young Master?"
Venerable Heavenly Fire rushed out of the weapon-refining room, gazing at the giant hand in the sky that seemed to hold up the continent. His old eyes were filled with shock: "Moving mountains and seas with a mere gesture—is this the might of a Dou Di?"
Numerous elders and disciples poured out from all directions and gathered in the square. When they saw the majestic continent above them, they were all stunned into silence.
Meanwhile, high in the sky...
Lu Yu stood in mid-air, surveying the vast continent in his hands. Roughly estimated, this continent, retrieved from the ancient emperor's cave, was about a quarter the size of the Central Continent.
It should be noted that Zhongzhou is the most expansive of the five regions of the Dou Qi Continent, and the scale of this continent is already quite astonishing.
"It's not bad, this will do."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yu looked at the void in front of him, let out a soft shout, and suddenly stretched out his other hand, his five fingers slowly spreading out, tearing a huge spatial rift in the sky above the Tianmu Mountains.
The interior of the crack was vast and boundless, like a newly discovered little world.
Immediately, he maintained the spatial rift with one hand and lifted the continent with the other, gently placing the entire floating continent steadily into space.
Then Lu Yu looked down at the Lingbao Pavilion beneath his feet and said loudly, "Gentlemen, do not panic. Today we are changing the mountain gate, so everyone should just do their job."
Before the Lingbao Pavilion members could react, a colossal hand gently swept across the area, uprooting the familiar Tianmu Mountain Range and slowly rising towards the floating continent.
"Look! Our sect is moving towards that continent!"
"The sect leader is trying to give us a better foundation!"
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the Tianmu Mountains landed steadily in the center of that new continent.
As the mountain range settled, Lu Yu waved his sleeve, and an unprecedented spirit-gathering array instantly enveloped the entire continent. Countless profound array patterns flowed in the void, drawing the energy of heaven and earth across the entire continent to converge on the Tianmu Mountain Range like rivers flowing into the sea.
The dense energy almost solidified, turning into a hazy mist that swirled above the mountains, making distant scenery appear and disappear in the mist.
"The current energy concentration is sufficient to support the cultivation of a powerhouse who has just entered the Dou Di realm."
Lu Yu sensed the surging energy fluctuations within the formation and nodded slightly. "However, as one's cultivation progresses, it's hard to say what will happen in the future."
Venerable Heavenly Fire took a deep breath of the mist, feeling an indescribable joy coursing through his meridians. His voice trembled with excitement: "This Spirit Gathering Array can actually gather the energy of the entire continent! It's truly astonishing!"
Qinglin gazed at the mountain gate shrouded in mist, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder. She could clearly sense that the cultivation environment here was hundreds of times better than before, and she could even feel the progress in her cultivation with every breath.
You must know that her cultivation level has now reached the peak of Dou Zun! Nourished by such rich天地能量 (heaven and earth energy), she can even feel that the bottleneck that has troubled her for so long is loosening.
"A man-made paradise—"
Qinglin sighed softly, "Young Master's methods are so advanced that even those ancient races would be ashamed of themselves."
""
Upon hearing this, Venerable Tianhuo nodded repeatedly: "That's right! Even for ancient races like the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan, whose lineages are so ancient, their Ancient Realm and Soul Realm might not be able to compare to this place."
Just then, a streak of light descended from the sky, and Lu Yu's figure slowly appeared. He glanced at the newly renovated Lingbao Pavilion and nodded in satisfaction.
"Qinglin, you can keep this safe."
Lu Yu took out a jade bottle that emitted a soft white light. "Inside are ancient devouring insects that I collected from the Heavenly Tomb. I sealed their cultivation. You can decide for yourself whether to feed them to Xiao Cai or nurture them properly."
Qinglin carefully took the jade bottle and immediately felt the immense energy contained within it, which even subtly affected her peak Dou Zun cultivation.
Lu Yu turned to Venerable Tianhuo: "I need to return to Canaan Academy for a while. I'll have to trouble you to take care of Lingbao Pavilion during this time."
"Rest assured, Pavilion Master!" Venerable Heavenly Fire quickly bowed and replied.
Just then, a nine-colored ray of light suddenly shot into the sky from the direction of the back mountain. A middle-aged man dressed in a seven-colored robe walked through the air; it was none other than Mo You, whom they had not seen for a long time.
At this moment, he exuded a powerful aura of a six-star Dou Sheng, and his long hair had transformed into a dazzling nine-colored hue, which was a sign that the Nine-Colored Devouring Heaven Bloodline had been fully awakened.
"Congratulations on Elder Mo You's breakthrough!" Qing Lin said happily.
Mo You bowed deeply to Lu Yu, his tone filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Pavilion Master, for reshaping my physical body earlier, which allowed me to fully awaken the Nine-Colored Devouring Python bloodline."
Lu Yu nodded slightly: "With Elder Mo You here, I feel much more at ease. In that case, I will now set off to return to Canaan Academy."
Not long after, in a square within the inner courtyard of Canaan College.
Lu Yu sat upright on the high platform, with hundreds of inner court students gathered below. His voice was calm, yet clearly carried throughout the entire square: "Today's lecture will be about the Way of Spirit Arrays."
"The so-called spirit array is to borrow the power of heaven and earth. It sounds mysterious, but in reality it is to make one's own battle qi resonate in a special way, thereby attracting the energy of heaven and earth to achieve the effect of offense and defense."
He glanced at the students listening attentively below the stage and smiled slightly: "You must be familiar with this method of drawing upon the energy of heaven and earth. The reason why Earth-rank combat techniques are far more powerful than Profound-rank techniques is precisely because they have begun to touch the threshold of drawing upon the energy of heaven and earth."
A student raised his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, what is the difference between a spirit array and a combat technique?"
"Good question."
Lu Yu nodded approvingly, "Combat techniques use oneself as a trigger to temporarily borrow strength; while spirit arrays are based on heaven and earth and are designed for a long time. One focuses on instantaneous bursts, while the other focuses on continuous operation."
He casually drew a simple spirit array in the air, and the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) surged in like a tide: "This is the most basic spirit gathering array. Can you feel the change in energy?"
A gasp of amazement immediately rose from the audience. The students closed their eyes and sensed the energy around them, and sure enough, they found that the surrounding energy had become much denser.
"The essence of the spirit array lies in comprehending the universe."
Lu Yu continued to explain, "If you can grasp the secrets, even if your cultivation is insufficient, you can still use the power of heaven and earth to defeat your enemies."
Not far away, Little Fairy Doctor, Su Qian, and others stood quietly under the corridor to watch the ceremony.
Su Qian stroked his beard and chuckled, whispering to the Little Fairy Doctor beside him, "Although His Majesty the Emperor has already reached the pinnacle, he is still willing to guide junior students, which is truly a blessing for the academy."
Little Fairy Doctor smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes gazing tenderly at the figure on the high platform.
Only Zhu Kun looked thoughtful, muttering to himself, "The way of formations was once very popular in ancient times, but it was gradually lost later—I never thought that I would see its inheritance again today."
After the sermon, Lu Yu slowly descended from the platform amidst the students' admiring gazes and approached Su Qian and the others. Sunlight shone on his blue robe, making him appear even more distinguished.
"Elder, now that this matter is settled, we should take our leave."
Lu Yu cupped his hands to Su Qian, speaking in a gentle tone.
Su Qian quickly returned the greeting, his aged face filled with sincere respect: "Your Majesty's lecture at the academy has greatly benefited the students. Even I have learned a great deal from your profound yet simple explanations."
He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "When will you be able to visit the academy again?"
Lu Yu waved his hand gently, his expression humble: "Elder, there's no need for such formalities. Just call me Lu Yu."
He paused, gazing at the distant horizon, his tone calm yet tinged with a hint of etherealness: "As for when I'll come again, I can't say for sure."
"Why is that?" Su Qian asked, puzzled, her brows furrowing slightly.
Lu Yu withdrew his gaze, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable firmness: "Now that this matter is settled, I am preparing to ascend."
"
"Ascension—"
Upon hearing this, Su Qian's face immediately showed a complex expression, a mixture of shock and reluctance.
Lu Yu then looked at Zhu Kun: "Father-in-law, would you like to leave with us?"
Zhu Kun stroked his beard and laughed, "This old man wants to go back to Dragon Island for a visit. After all, I've been away from the island for thousands of years, and it's time to go back and see my clansmen."
His gaze towards Ziyan was full of affection, yet tinged with a hint of helplessness: "I originally wanted to spend more time with the girl, but—"
Zi Yan understood and took Lu Yu's arm, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Seeing this, Zhu Kun felt both gratified and somewhat wistful: "You two are so loving and harmonious. As your father, I can't just keep being the one who doesn't know better."
Lu Yu nodded in understanding: "Father-in-law, please go back. If you need anything, just let me know."
Little Fairy Doctor asked softly, "Shall we go back to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion now?"
Lu Yu nodded: "It's time to go back. There are still affairs to attend to in the pavilion, and—"
With a far-sighted look, he thought, "It's time to make some preparations for ascension."
