Chapter 575 - 182: A Seed of Thought in the Yin Yang Soil, An Unexpected Conclusion
For a moment...
Li Yuan and Qing Hancheng achieved a new balance.
Qing Hancheng was searching for "how to continuously maintain these four zones", in other words, he was looking for a better way to utilize this power, as well as to discover the source of this new power.
He felt that if successful, he could truly step into the Third Grade.
Li Yuan, on the other hand, was seeking "how to fuse the Ancestral Talisman power with the power of fire within the scope of the Domain".
Both of them were pondering.
For a moment, the two stood firm on Feiyan Platform, the surrounding mountains had long been shattered beyond recognition, transforming into scorched earth brimming with toxins, with high temperatures wrapping around the poison and dispersing outwards.
One could say, if anyone dared to approach, they might be instantly killed by this strange fire poison.
...
...
Time passed by the second.
In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.
During these seven days, the people arriving in the small town outside had also watched for seven days.
But in those three days, they could only vaguely see that the "walls" piled up by the mountains had become a "big chimney".
The high-temperature fire poison in red and green rolled out, rapidly destroying everything in the surroundings.
No one knew what was happening inside.
And in seven days, it had attracted more and more strong experts to come.
Gu Xuejian came...
White Spirit Water quietly arrived...
Yuan Zongzi of the Holy Fire Palace came with Old Tie...
The fairies of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Palace also came...
But because the Divine Wood Hall was hosting, and no one dared to disturb this level of battle, even tigers lay low, and dragons stayed hidden.
But everyone began to be shocked by one thing: the monster from the rural area called Dian Wei had actually contended with Qing Hancheng for so long?
In Gu Xuejian’s view, Qing Hancheng was unfathomable.
In White Spirit Water’s eyes, Qing Hancheng was Half-Step Third Grade, and this battle aimed for a breakthrough.
What was going on?
Everyone became curious about the conclusion in the mountains and what the two were doing?
Why was there no movement, only the sound of geological changes?
...
...
’Seven days...’
Li Yuan stood in the garden.
During these seven days, he had completely understood how to solve his problem.
The problem lay in the Ancestral Talisman.
The Talisman Seeds within his Ancestral Talisman were not enough.
Once increased to a certain extent, it could balance with fire, thereby creating new forces, and even stepping into a new Realm.
Upon realizing this, he began to be intrigued by Qing Hancheng.
Because Qing Hancheng’s "Yin and Yang" were not balanced.
His Ancestral Talisman couldn’t possibly support the vast and pure Shadow Blood within his body.
And the "Withered and Flourishing Sword used by successive Hall Masters" precisely made up for this point.
It was like a cripple given a crutch in advance.
If there was a cripple first, then a crutch would be fine.
But... perhaps this crutch was born before the cripple, which posed a problem.
Li Yuan looked at Qing Hancheng beyond several Domains.
Over these seven days, the two not only fought but also talked.
Because they both realized that the "opportunity was right here", confronting each other in different ways became meaningless, and so they conversed like old friends.
"Old Qing, your Cultivation Skill has problems."
Li Yuan finally figured it out and spoke, "Your Cultivation Skill has an inherent flaw.
The Ancestral Talisman thoughts cultivated by the Cultivation Skill are simply insufficient to harness the power in your body.
And as the Realm advances, this phenomenon will become increasingly severe.
You should be able to feel it now, right?
The fact that you can wield this power is due to the Withered and Flourishing Sword, and to maintain this power or even advance further is unthinkable...
For you to hold on until now, considering how many genius methods you’ve probably devised, is truly remarkable, and I’m not sure I could have done it."
"Aren’t you also cultivating the Ancestral Talisman Skill?" Qing Hancheng asked unwillingly.
At this moment, he looked very troubled because he had tried countless paths. After eliminating them one by one, he was nearing an endless approach to the truth.
A grim, despairing truth he was unwilling to acknowledge.
He even began to understand why there were no Third Grades in this world.
Because the Cultivation Skill he practiced would never produce a Third Grade from the start.
The deeper the cultivation, the deeper he was trapped, the further from the Third Grade.
Unless he overturned everything and started from the beginning.
Li Yuan said, "Old Qing, I feel like you’re almost at your limit. When you discover this truth, only two paths remain: one is to push through to reach the next Realm, and the other is..."
He sighed softly, "You’re already in a situation where you can’t back down, and the momentum of your current power has already formed a kind of inertia. If you can’t push through, it will destroy you.
This kind of destruction, I really don’t know if you... can survive it.
Because this type of destruction seems more like a man-made design.
If it weren’t for the Withered and Flourishing Sword, you wouldn’t have come this far. But since you have the Withered and Flourishing Sword, you inevitably use it, and once you use it, you will see the power of the next Realm, thus creating an illusion.
It’s like a traveler in the desert sees a mirage. Originally, his path might have been correct, but from the moment he saw the mirage, he was destined to be lost in the desert, completely dead."
"As for my power...
It is an inheritance I accidentally obtained from deep in the mountains.
That person said his Cultivation Skill was self-created.
The only reason he could create it was because he saw a diary during his Low Grade.
The expert in the diary was curious about how the ancestors created the Life Atlas, so after experimenting, he introduced the concept of blood compression and blood refining..."
Qing Hancheng paused upon hearing this, then suddenly asked, "Did that expert ultimately fail, because he ventured too far down someone else’s path, unable to look back?"
