In the Interstellar Era, cultivation was the main focus of humanity.
But not everyone would have the talent and ability to be qualified enough to enter the peak interstellar universities and receive a proper education pertaining to cultivation.
Many were reluctant to give up on their cultivation dream and could only depend on themselves to continue striving on, preserving. With no genetic cultivation art, with no genetic potions, with no genetic martial arts…they had completely no resources and had to depend on themselves. They had to contend against others for it or even…seize it!
These people were all known as unaffiliated interstellar cultivators.
In truth, in the most backward region in the interstellar space, only a minority of the people could enter interstellar universities. And among them, the vast majority were all interstellar cultivators.
Earth, as the mother planet of humanity, naturally had the most suitable environment for humans to stay. Although it wasn’t the largest planet in the solar system, the population here was the highest, resulting in the highest number of unaffiliated cultivators.
Cultivation was extremely profound, and one couldn’t simply cultivate alone. They needed all sorts of external conditions to stimulate them.
Everyone was either in the depths of the water, using the pressure to temper their bodies, or they were soaking themselves in lava to refine their bones. There were all sorts of methods.
And also, as the third pole of the world. The Himalayas was like a land of death to ancient humans, but this environment was nothing to cultivators. In fact, it was a holy ground as there existed all sorts of unique environmental conditions, which allowed humans to train their physical and mental attributes. This was why so many unaffiliated cultivators would love to come here and train.
Feng Lin exited his flying vehicle and saw streams of humans moving up and down the Himalayas. At the foot of the mountain, a small town could be seen as bustling noises rang out.
Top-grade snowy mountain cave, rental is only 1,000 star coins per day. Conditions: Extremely comfortable, it will even increase your cultivation speed!
Snowcapped Ice Spring, 5,000 star coins per usage for one people. You can use the frosty temperature to temper yourself, strengthening your body!
Luxurious Apartment at the peak of the Himalayas. Enjoy the beautiful scenery, refresh your mind and spirit!
…
Numerous shouts rang out, like tour guides from tourist centers.
Feng Lin ignored them all. He knew that for the agents of some companies, they would monopolize certain supreme locations in the Himalayas and earn star coins from the unaffiliated cultivators.
Since it was cultivation, one naturally had to train their heart and mind.
What was the point of enjoying life during cultivation?
Was there even any meaning to it?
For those ancient cultivators, their companions were the mountains and rivers as they used the land for their bed and sky for their blanket. They didn’t even know when their next meal would be, yet they were content with life. Although they didn’t have transcendent abilities, their lifestyles could be considered a form of cultivation of the mind as well.
If these unaffiliated cultivators wanted to enjoy life, why would they come to the third pole of the Earth? Even if they awakened the mythological gene, their mindsets would render them nothing more than false cultivators!
The heart was the Dao, strength was the law.
These two couldn’t be spoken together as one.
Feng Lin didn’t halt his steps, and he continued on his way up.
Ai, young man, hold it. You came here to cultivate, right? I’ve got a top grade cultivation room with an ice bath and cold springs, even a meditation cave and high-pressured wind valley was equipped. Do you want to give it a try?
An agent rushed over, his eyes shone when he noticed Feng Lin.
Swish~
A gentle breeze of wind gusted.
Feng Lin didn’t stop. He increased his speed and transformed into after-images, causing a burst of wind as he sped up. In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the crowd.
The tip of his foot lightly tapped the ground as he maintained his speed despite the incline.
Wind and snow intersected. The bitter chilly winds hushed forth, feeling as sharp as blades. The air was gradually growing thin, causing some to feel that it was hard to breathe.
Such an environment was naturally a forbidden land where most ancient humans would find it tough to get near.
However, Feng Lin didn’t seem bothered.
One must know that for the extreme limits of a cultivator’s evolution, there would be an existence with vast longevity that could endure all sorts of harsh environments.
This current environment was nothing but the tip of an iceberg.
Feng Lin continued on his way and was at a height of 6,000 meters above sea levels.
Casting his gaze toward the horizon, a chain of snowy mountains that extended outward could be seen. Such a scene caused him to be awed and feel a sense of submission to mother nature.
On his way here, he could see many artificial buildings in the surroundings. Those people staying inside were all interstellar cultivators. Ordinary humans would surely not come here to suffer for no reason.
Feng Lin still wasn’t satisfied with this altitude.
If he could reach an altitude where there were no layers of cloud obstructing him, the more abundant would the astral energy be.
He continued ascending at rapid speed. His footprints were soon covered up by the falling snow, leaving no traces behind at all.
The cold wind whistled. Even for Feng Lin, he could feel the bone-biting chill, but this was still not sufficient to affect his movements.
Ever since the Ancient Earth Era, Mount Everest of the Himalayas had been continuously growing taller. After ten thousand years, its height now had already surpassed ten thousand meters.
Even for someone with Feng Lin’s speed, he still needed over an hour before he reached the peak.
Standing alone on a lonely peak, he felt a sense of loneliness as though he was the only one in this world.
His vision took in the wondrous sight nature had presented, calming his state of heart. It was like his state of heart had undergone a formless baptism.
Just when he ascended the peak, dusk arrived.
The cluster of stars shone brightly, cascading their silvery radiance down unimpeded since the layers of clouds were not present at this altitude.
The boundless starlight cascaded down onto Feng Lin, causing him to feel a sense of coolness.
A crescent moon hung suspended in the air, illuminating the sky. Silence was everywhere; the noises made by humans earlier had all subsided.
Feng Lin calmed his heart, tossing aside all thoughts of distraction. The pores on his body all opened and his entire body was like a black hole that was absorbing the astral energy from the stars unceasingly.
The clusters of stars lost their color. It was like this painting of a starscape was swallowed whole by a terrifying interstellar monster. The skies were no longer beautiful as there seemed to be an empty hole there now.
In a radius of a thousand meters, the astral energy provided by the clusters of stars all turned into silvery lines of energy that were drawn over. This became a phenomenon that could be seen by the naked eye, beautiful to the extreme.
The astral energy was absorbed through his pores into his body and circulated all around, nourishing every part of his body.
There seemed to be a cooling breeze gusting through his heart and mind. Feng Lin felt a refreshing sensation as his spirit seemed to glow brighter. He also felt a floating sensation.
It was like his spirit had just consumed extremely nutritious substances and were now like floods of water gushing around as they strengthened with every wave.
His state of heart was completely liberated as he basked in the astral light. It felt like he was floating in space, carefree and relaxed, as he sensed the energy of heaven and earth.
It was unlike how his perception could have merely sensed external things before, his current mental energy was powered by spirit force and had already turned into a corporeal energy type that could affect the multitude of things.
RUMBLE!
A thunderous boom rang out.
Spirit energy churned wildly in the air, as violent as a hurricane.
The formless energy swept out as the wild winds increased in ferocity. A layer of snow on the ground was swept up into a snowstorm that produced terrifying whistling noises.
Feng Lin sat there unmoving, and the snowstorm swirled above his head, becoming a phenomenon observable by the naked eye.
The snowstorm then separated, becoming clusters of snow clouds that floated above his head and not falling even after a long time.
As the person producing the force, Feng Lin didn’t even notice this.
He was now immersed inside a special state where heaven and man were as one. It felt like he had fused with the universe. His spirit was expanded boundlessly in scope, and every star in the sky felt like an extremely distant yet majestic life. Even his heartbeat matched the frequency of Mother Earth’s pulse.
His spirit force formed torrents, sweeping outward with wild abandon. Everything it swept by was turned topsy-turvy.
