Chapter 489: Hitching a Ride

On an empty hill of yellow sand, a person was standing in solitude. They were wearing a set of tan colored modern military fatigues, complete with sturdy boots and a wide brimmed hat that drooped slightly at the edges. The man even had a solid shelled backpack on his back, the hexagonal outline looking much like a turtle shell. At the moment that man was looking up at the empty sky.

After a few minutes, he dropped his head and looked down at his hand. Upon his open palm, there was a golden coin, one that looked to have a rough texture to it. There was only a single character upon its surface that read simply one. Of course, that solitary man might be recognized by some of the locals as Acumen Asan, though the name he used far more was Lang Sheng. The last descendant of the Lang Clan. In his own mind, he would always be Sage, but he hadnt actually heard that name said by anyone using the sounds of his native language in many decades. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

Hed already been staying on that sand dune for the last month, not wanting to miss his ride home. The long stay had certainly not helped his anxiousness. Hed been waiting inside the comfortable manor in the Universe Ring for a few weeks, but as the time ticked down he couldnt help but to stay outside and keep a constant watch on the skies. There were also many days he just spent walking back and forth, trying to pinpoint the exact position that the token drew him to most strongly, worried he might be in the wrong spot when the time came.

If he missed this ride, he might just end up stuck on this world for good. Hed already spent so much time and effort getting accustomed to the Cultivator World and he sure didnt want to start all over again! This place was a dump!

Inwardly cursing, his lack of confidence was not only about missing the appointment, but also whether or not he had the qualifications to return! It was hard not to pace back and forth. He felt like he had arrived at the airport twelve hours before his flight, but he forgot his ID and wasnt sure if the ticket hed printed weeks ago would work.

Crack!

It was not impressed.

Sage didnt waste any more time. He didnt want to lose the window of opportunity and let the Cloud Swallowing Thunder Eel leave. Guan Zhenyan had not led him astray in the past, pointing him to a number of methods that he could use in this situation. Spirit Power flickered to life inside his mind, the ocean inside his Spiritual Sea started to move. Huge waves forming as a reflection of the amount of Spirit Power he was bringing to bear. He couldnt afford to be stingy here, putting all of his force into creating a complex symbol in the core of his mental fortress. The huge symbol formed in an instant, the result of his constant practice, and the spirit power flowing into it was transformed. The energy was changed and then emitted into the outside world, a beam of invisible intent that bridged the space between Sage and the huge eel shaped cloud of electrically charged gas.

At that instant, Sage felt like someone had just ripped off his scalp. A cold stinging sensation like a raw wound had been exposed to the elements, and that wound was his mind. A sharp pain assaulted his brain from every direction at once. The feeling upgraded from exposure to burning. This new sensation helped him to imagine what it might feel like if someone drilled a hole in your skull and poured in a cup of acid.

Of course, this was all his own colorful way to cope with the new sensations. He was pretty sure there were no nerve receptors in his brain that could feel things, then again as a Cultivator his body had changed in ways he would have thought impossible back on Earth. Even the technique hed developed to avoid pain did nothing at this point, something about this new technique he used avoided it entirely.

Just when he thought the pain was going to escalate to a completely new level, it suddenly disappeared and Sage felt the whole world change around him.
