CHAPTER 208: CHAPTER 5: SKY PIT (PART 5)

Li Shuning has always been the goddess of the younger generation in the Li Family. When the goddess is bullied, naturally, there are people who feel indignant.

However, the family continually stated that Li Tong’s actions were unintentional, so naturally, no one dared to mess with Li Tong.

After all, Li Tong’s current strength is impressive, and they wouldn’t gain any advantage even if they went.

During this period, Li Shuning devoted herself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

Her spiritual power was vast, and in combination with some of the Li Family’s cultivation techniques, it produced excellent effects during her cultivation.

Li Shuning found that her daily training yielded twice the results with half the effort.

She was already on the verge of breaking through to the Fourth Rank, and now her cultivation was loosening, and she could break through anytime she wished.

However, Li Shuning was unwilling to break through just like that.

As someone from the Li Family, even though she was no longer the original owner, it was the resources provided by the Li Family that made her today. Although Li Minglun was unfair in his dealings, it would be ungrateful of her to turn against him.

Over the years, Li Shuning had done many things for the Li Family. Whether Li Tong’s actions were intentional is evident, but Li Minglun disregarded her for a small piece of Yellow Crystal, which left Li Shuning feeling cold.

At the very least, in the future, she won’t be as loyal as the original owner was. Otherwise, she might be sold without even knowing and still be counting money for them.

Revealing one’s cultivation level and trump cards leaves no advantage.

Since Li Tong wanted to play, she might as well play thoroughly.

Even without practicing martial arts properly, how many martial artists could withstand her spiritual power attacks?

Not long after, the day to venture to the Sky Pit was approaching again.

Li Shuning prepared in silence. Since there were things in the Sky Pit that aided human cultivation, she could also take a look. If she found something, it would be good.

At that moment, people were flooding around the Sky Pit.

Regardless of whether you were an elder, clan leader, or a minor figure in the family, everyone was gathered before the Sky Pit.

Without time for greetings, each person jumped into the Sky Pit one by one.

Li Shuning had felt it before. Other than her body being out of control, her spiritual power was entirely unrestricted.

Even as she jumped into the Sky Pit, there was no feeling of weightlessness from a high fall, and her body felt no discomfort, as if she was still in place, though the surrounding scenery seemed to change.

Before long, Li Shuning found she couldn’t see anyone around her. She had landed by a river.

Li Shuning carefully shifted her position. The river looked clean and clear, but who knew what might be inside?

The original owner had encountered transparent fish in the river before. Someone once saw the clear river and wanted to drink some water, but when they reached out, their hand got bitten and was left with just bones. The fish could come out of the water and follow the bones to devour the person until only white bones were left.

Releasing her spiritual power and discerning slightly, Li Shuning chose a path.

Li Tong had found treasures in the Sky Pit. It was said to be the first time people realized that besides evading danger, treasures could also be discovered in the Sky Pit.

Previously, people had only focused on survival, never considering treasure-hunting in the Sky Pit to enhance themselves.

With greater strength, the chances of surviving the various dangers in the Sky Pit naturally increased.

However, Li Shuning was more curious about what exactly the Sky Pit was, why it could control people, and why it appeared in this world with what intentions?

Li Shuning’s landing place was by the river, surrounded by a vast grassland.

She headed eastward along the way.

A vast endless grassland; one might think of lying down to enjoy it if it were in the real world.

But Li Shuning didn’t dare to lay down here.

Didn’t she see the ants-like insects under the green grass, bustling busily back and forth?

Li Shuning’s shoes were special boots. Although the insects tried to bite her, they were blocked by the boots, and her True Yuan was circulating all the time. If something was amiss, she could repel the insects instantly.

With spiritual power, she discovered significant dangers and avoided them promptly, while facing less formidable threats head-on, also served as a training opportunity.

But for several consecutive days, she couldn’t find any treasures.

The item Li Tong found back then should have been taken from a swarm of strange bees, though she didn’t know what method he had used.

As she continued walking, although she chose the direction heading east, Li Shuning found that she seemed to have circled back to the starting point.

She was back by the river.

Li Shuning looked at the river, lost in thought.

Her spiritual power surged, detecting the positions of the transparent small fish in the river.

Gradually, she noticed that these transparent small fish had a pattern.

In the river, there were only two transparent small fish in every certain distance.

And the swimming directions of the two small fish were also regular.

Slowly, Li Shuning entered a meditative state, and as her spiritual power sensed the positions of those fish, she began moving like the small fish herself.

When Li Shuning woke up, she felt a sense of enlightenment.

Had she just comprehended a movement technique?

In battle, if she used such a Fish Walking Technique, she would move as slickly as a fish, making it nearly impossible for others to catch her.

Even in crossing rank challenges, she’d have a significant advantage.

Inspired by the transparent small fish, she named it Fish Walking Technique.

For some reason, Li Shuning felt an urge deep inside to enter the river after comprehending that technique.

Those fish seemed particularly dear to her.

Tilting her head, Li Shuning looked at the lively small fish in the river and suddenly smiled.

She dipped her hand into the river.

The small fish in that river section eagerly nibbled at Li Shuning’s fingers, ticklishly making her laugh.

Her laughter was like silver bells, crisp and clear.

In the river, countless transparent small fish swam over, gathering together where previously they were distinct in each section of the river.

Li Shuning removed her shoes, and with bare feet, strolled into the river, playing with the small fish.

After a long while, Li Shuning tiredly returned to the riverbank.

Her feet were still soaking in the river.

The previously terrifying fish were now affectionately kissing Li Shuning’s fair feet.

Suddenly, Li Shuning felt a slight sting.

She sat up and looked, finding a larger transparent fish had bitten the sole of her foot.

Suddenly, she felt her True Yuan surge.

This body, having consumed elixir pills, contained impurities in the True Yuan.

However, at that moment, the impurities were slowly expelled as the fish sucked on her foot.

When Li Shuning regained her senses, the small fish were no longer transparent but had turned gray.

Feeling pangs of pity, Li Shuning reached out to touch the fish, sighing softly, "Thank you."

The fish swayed their tails and dispersed.

Li Shuning sighed, realizing that even the family ties within her clan couldn’t match what she felt for these fish.

She only comprehended the fish’s movement technique, yet the fish treated her as one of their own.

However, she only felt it unfair for the original owner; after all, she herself was not the original owner, was she?
