The moment Su Mu's fingertip touched the orb of light.

The scene around him began to change, turning into a vast expanse of white, where nothing else could be seen, except for this emptiness.

At this moment, Su Mu instinctively prepared to activate his cultivation technique, but was shocked to find that he could no longer sense the spiritual power within his body, nor even the presence of his Dantian; it was as if he had completely become an ordinary mortal.

Indeed, usually calm and collected, Su Mu found himself somewhat flustered in this instant.

He stood up and began walking forward aimlessly.

However, this world seemed like a gigantic empty box; everywhere he looked was blank. After walking for an unknown duration, he lost his sense of direction, or perhaps this blank world had no direction to speak of, as every direction was the same.

Su Mu took several deep breaths to calm his mood and began to analyze.

He had just touched that mysterious orb of light, and after contact, he was forcibly drawn into this blank world.

Moreover, in this blank world, he had become a mere mortal, unable to run his cultivation technique or harness spiritual power, uncertain how to break this predicament.

Thus, he could only choose a direction and keep walking.

But the more he walked, the more exhausted he became. Clearly, it seemed like only a few hours had passed, yet it felt like he had walked for decades. The overwhelming fatigue made Su Mu have to stop walking.

At this point, Su Mu noticed the peculiarity of this world.

Here, there was no day or night, no wind, rain, thunder, or lightning, not even a sense of time passing. This blank world was like an empty shell without any world rules.

Suddenly, Su Mu's eyes lit up.

Light!

This blank world had nothing but "light."

Immediately, Su Mu comprehended something, sat down with his legs crossed.

What is light?

Light is the beginning of everything; with light, life comes into being.

If a world had only light, then there would only be a beginning—no process, let alone an ending.

At this moment, Su Mu closed his eyes, entering into a special state of enlightenment. In this state, his heart was as clear as a mirror, and his thoughts were lucid.

The next second, he grasped something, realized something, and as he slowly opened his eyes, the surrounding scenes began to change. With the appearance of light, mountains rose, life appeared, the great rivers and mountains stood the test of time...

In just a few seconds, the evolution of a world unfolded before Su Mu's eyes.

So this is it, this is the true meaning of light's existence...

With Su Mu's sigh, he felt the fluctuation of spiritual power, his aura started to surge.

This blank world began to shrink continuously until it converged into Su Mu's Dantian.

As it turned out, Su Mu had always been in place; the previous blank world was just a different dimension.

At this moment, in Su Mu's mind, there were light rune texts, fragments of the Law of Light.

After absorbing the previous blank world, Su Mu comprehended some of the Law of Light.

This was the power of law, not a cultivation technique. Even if he only grasped the surface, it surpassed countless cultivation techniques.

Moreover, his cultivation realm was directly elevated to the Fifth Realm of Ascension, advancing five small realms at once!

At this time, he sensed something in his Dantian, and with a thought, the scene around him changed again, reverting to the previous blank world.

However, this time, he could feel that he had absolute control; with a wave of his hand, the space began to fold and twist, and flowers and trees could even appear!

It seemed that he mastered an independent different dimension, which he could release at any time.

The next second, with a wave of his hand, he returned to reality.

This was effectively a domain.

.....

Su Mu opened his attribute panel:

[Host: Su Mu]

[Cultivation: Fifth Realm of Ascension]

[Mastered Divine Techniques: Water Control (Level 2), Swimming (Level 2)]

[Mastered Cultivation Techniques: Cyan Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique (Fourth Level), Divine Elephant Prison-Suppression Strength (Fourth Level)]

[Mastered Power of Law: Power of Spatial Rules (Level 1), Law of Light (Level 0)]

[Water Beast Tamer: Apychelodraco, World Stingray Beast, Stone Axe Beast, Chaos Golden Spirit (Fusang)]

[River Affinity: 0.7%]

[River Favor Points: 48320 points]

At this point, he noticed that among his contracted water beasts, the text in the parentheses after Chaos Golden Spirit had changed to "Fusang."

"Fusang?"

Su Mu murmured.

Is that its name?

However, mentioning this "Fusang," Su Mu recalled some memories.

Before crossing over, Su Mu was quite fascinated with ancient mythology, and among the ancient books, there was one called the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there are four divine trees: Fusang Wood, Sunrise Wood, Wander Wood, Skypillar Wood.

Fusang Wood, as the name suggests, is two mulberry trees growing from the same root, leaning on each other, supporting each other, hence called Fusang.

In the records of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the legendary Fusang Wood is said to be thousands of meters tall, with its trunk alone having a circumference of thousands of meters. Its leaves are red, and moreover, it is the resting place of the sun, where it rises each day.

But surprisingly, Little Golden Ant's true form is an ant?

Why is it called Fusang?

It doesn't fit with trees at all!

Could it be that its name is "Fusang"?

At this time, Su Mu released his spiritual sense to try to detect Xiaojinzi's direction, only to find that he could no longer sense it.

No, sensing was possible, it was just too weak, unsure of where it had gone.

Is its home this far away?

...

Let's not think about this for now; the Favor Points are enough, let's first raise the affinity by a level.

[Favor Points - 30000]

[River Affinity: 0.7%]→[River Affinity: 1%]

When the Favor Points increased to one percent, Su Mu could feel that his connection with the river had directly increased by several levels. Though it seemed like only a 0.3% increase, it was a qualitative leap!

Finally able to enhance divine techniques.

[Static: Level 2 (0/1000)]

[Stripping: Level 2 (0/1000)]

[Acceleration: Level 2 (0/1000)]

[Retreat: Level 2 (0/1000)]

...

[Swimming: Level 2 (0/1000)]

....

Upon increasing the affinity to 1%, the restriction on upgrading the [Water Control] divine technique was lifted, allowing further upgrades.

With 1000 Favor Points, a divine technique can be upgraded to Level 3.

Level 2 Stripping can control "ten jins" of water to leave the surface for manipulation.

Level 2 Static can stop water flow over an area of fifty square meters.

Level 2 Acceleration can increase the water flow speed over an area of fifty square meters.

Level 2 Retreat can make an area of water of fifty square meters flow backward.

Level 2 Swimming allows for swimming in any body of water and walking on water, with speed increased twenty times, endurance increased twenty times, and the negative effects from the water reduced by 30%.

.....

System, add points for me!

First, upgrade these divine techniques to Level 3 and see how much they can be improved.
