The Return of Cambrian Period Volume 1 Chapter 20 26 Mar 09, 2020

After the group brought Liu Fengyu back to the headquarter, Wang Lian called for the doctor. The doctor examined for a while and said that he was only temporarily unconscious. It was not a big deal. Then he asked a few soldiers to use the tweezers to help him pull out the pine needles on his body.

After pulling out one pine needle, everyone broke out in a cold sweat. The pine needle was five or six centimeters in length. It sunk into Liu Fengyu's body for at least three centimeters in depth. When they pulled one needle out, Liu Fengyu's body was left with a small bloody hole. There were at least fifty or sixty needles on one side of his body. Although they did not hit fatal places, the taste of being pierced like a hedgehog was unimaginable. Cong Xia picked up a pine needle and sighed.

"It is twice longer in comparison with the beginning."

"When was the beginning?"

"On the second day of the earthquake, we passed by the pine tree. It was not that big at that time, but it had already started attacking people. At that time, the pine needles were only as long as the fingernails."

Zhao Qian touched his chin.

"This pine tree grew too fast. Within its attack range, no living creatures dared to approach. How could this person be so reckless? Moreover, he hasn't even died yet."

Another person said.

"There isn't any correlation between the disappearance of the big pine tree and this star, right?

"We will know when he wakes up."

"There are so many pine needles on his body, tsk, it must be extremely painful."

Cong Xia asked.

"Doctor, when can he wake up?"

"It's hard to say. I can't even tell the reason of his unconsciousness."

Wang Lian said.

"Wait a minute, comrade Cheng. At the moment, most of the communicating stations in the entire country have been abandoned due to various reasons. It is also difficult for us to contact Beijing. Right now, the communication resources are almost as scarce as food. I don't have the authority to let you use them. You can only wait until the commander returns. You two can take a rest at the headquarter for the time being. Xiao Liu, you arrange a dormitory for them and get them some food."

At the moment, being provided the most fundamental food was already a very high grade of hospitality. Cong Xia thought about the fact that he could eat normal food for human. He was so craving for it and it made his mouth water.

Xiao Liu took them to an office room that was converted into a dormitory. The office room was very small. There were simply two camp beds arranged inside. He then handed them two vacuum-packed bags of bread and two bottles of water.

"I'll come to notify you again when there's any news."

After Xiao Liu left, the two men sat on the beds and started eating the bread. Because they had just eaten the mantis meat, they were not very hungry. Small bites after small bites, Cong Xia cherishably chewed the butter-scented bread. He felt like it was the world's most delicious food. If it was not for the fact that after opening, it could not be preserved, he really wanted to keep it for tomorrow.

After Cheng Tianbi finished eating bread, he sat with his legs crossed on the bed, closed his eyes and breathed steadily.

Cong Xia knew that he was training. He could see with his naked eyes that there was slight wind surrounding around Cheng Tianbi's body, it was gently blowing the tips of his hair and the corners of his clothes.

Cong Xia didn't dare to bother him. Although he was very curious about what Cheng Tianbi and the battalion commander Wang had talked about, he knew that his question would be fruitless, so he simply laid on the bed, clenched the ancient jade and once again entered the void.

The glowing Sanskrit wall reappeared in front of him. Cong Xia tried to find what he had always been wondering about - what exactly was the non elemental energy.

The ancient jade said that the non elemental energy was the same as the five elemental energy, which could be obtained and enhanced through self cultivation. Although the non elemental energy was different from the five elemental energy, it was also closely related to the five elemental energy. The paragraph about this information was very obscure. After a long time of comprehending, Cong Xia could somewhat understand that compared to the five elemental energy which had colors, the non elemental energy was transparent. The non elemental energy could fill up the substance of the five elemental energy at will, which meant that the non elemental energy could be used just like the five elemental energy, as long as he could master the method.

This sounded really terrific. If he mastered the five elemental energy, did it mean that he could also have the power to control the wind like Cheng Tianbi?

The information retained in the ancient jade was too vast. Only comprehending this part had already taken Cong Xia several hours. Moreover, even though the way that the text was narrated was already automatically translated into modern language in his mind, it was still very difficult to read as before. Cong Xia spent a lot of time linking the context before and after in order to comprehend it. Sometimes when he was tired of reading this paragraph, he would jump to a very far away paragraph to have a look at.

Gradually, he discovered that the content of the second half of the Sanskrit wall constantly mentioned a word - primal consciousness.

What is primal consciousness?

Cong Xia hastily scanned once. It seemed that many details directed to this 'primal consciousness'. Moreover, it was rather hostile towards this 'primal consciousness'.

Cong Xia became completely dizzy. He didn't even understand what the non elemental energy was, so he really didn't dare to go so far as to comprehend what 'primal consciousness' was.

In short, the biggest gain this time was that he understood that the non elemental energy could link up with the five elemental energy, but this seemed to be one way. The non elemental energy could be the fuel for the five elemental energy, but the five elemental energy could not turn into the non elemental energy. However, it was also possible that Cong Xia hadn't reached the part about this matter yet. He already felt very tired. He really couldn't continue anymore.

He opened his eye and left the void. As soon as he got up to take a look, he found that Cheng Tianbi was still sitting with his legs crossed. The breeze distributing around his body had gradually begun to have color. The color was very, very light green. It looked like Cheng Tianbi was wrapped up by a transparent light green mist. Cong Xia looked at Cheng Tianbi in surprise. Was this the Wood energy?

He didn't dare to make any sound, for he feared he would disturb Cheng Tianbi. Just like that, he stared blankly at Cheng Tianbi. He felt like Cheng Tianbi was like a beautiful and powerful elf in the legend, illuminating the holy light of life all over his body.

Energy could be obtained through cultivation. According to the old voice, he was the one who inherited the ancient jade. Why didn't he have an energy core that could be cultivated?

Was the energy core something that only the mutants have? Since he did not evolve, there was no energy core. Without the energy core, there was no way he could cultivate the non elemental energy. Wasn't this self contradictory?
