CHAPTER 568: CHAPTER 543: KILLING WHILE COMPREHENDING

At this moment, Wang Xu figured everything out.

The reminder from the Ancestor of Wine and Music on the Law Realm was like a sudden revelation, thoroughly enlightening Wang Xu!

Although "Zheng" reached the Sixth Level, it still felt incomplete. This was not because there was a higher Seventh Level, but because it needed a path created from the cultivator’s own insights and creation!

This path will carry the cultivator’s own soul power and insights; only in this way can one truly enslave the Golden Dragon and make it submit!

"Why has Tai Xu Saint Venerable suddenly become so strange?"

"Laughing uncontrollably, could it be that Tai Xu Saint Venerable’s cultivation has gone awry?"

"The mind of a Saint Venerable is not as fragile as that of a Celestial God Realm, perhaps he gained some benefit," someone speculated.

The Saint Venerable Ancestors only heard Wang Xu’s laughter and had no idea what he was thinking at that moment.

Dark Night Saint Venerable, upon hearing Wang Xu’s laughter, also opened his eyes and frowned in Wang Xu’s direction.

A hint of unease flickered in his eyes.

His intuition told him that this unease originated from Wang Xu.

...

The sound of laughter gradually faded away.

"Wang Xu, what good thing happened to you? I’ve never seen you laugh so heartily." You Ji’s figure appeared, asking curiously.

Indeed, aside from the time when his family was reunited after being resurrected, Wang Xu had never laughed so heartily.

"I know the method to enslave the Golden Dragon," Wang Xu said, a lingering smile on his face.

"Really?" You Ji’s eyes lit up.

For tens of thousands of years, Wang Xu wasn’t the only one troubled; You Ji was also confused about the key to passing this trial.

However, no one could ultimately reach a correct conclusion.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xu now told him he had found a method.

"What method?" You Ji asked eagerly.

"Simple, carve out a path of your own!" Wang Xu’s eyes shone brightly, "You Ji, your ’Zheng’ should have also reached the Sixth Level, and you’ve been puzzled about why ’Zheng’ isn’t perfect, right?"

"That’s correct," You Ji nodded.

You Ji’s "Zheng" also reached the Sixth Level, but like Wang Xu and Dark Night Saint Venerable, he couldn’t enslave the Golden Dragon.

"The reason why ’Zheng’ is not perfect is not because there is a Seventh Level as we imagined, but because the Sixth Level has not yet integrated our own insights. Only by incorporating our insights into the Sixth Level can ’Zheng’ be truly perfected and enslave the Golden Dragon!" Wang Xu explained.

"Integrate our insights?" You Ji suddenly realized.

In the past, they passively devoured Silver Dragons and Golden Dragons, accumulating soul power. Once it was enough, the insights of "Zheng" would automatically surface, requiring no personal understanding.

It was this inertia in thinking that became their greatest obstacle.

Moreover, Chaos Primordial Technique was a magic created by the Great Emperor Realm. Even if they comprehended it, it was based on learning; it was like a textbook, and they only needed to understand the knowledge in it. How would they think to add their own understanding?

Wang Xu recounted everything the Ancestor of Wine and Music had told him before.

You Ji nodded repeatedly while listening.

"From now on, we will no longer devour Golden Dragons or Silver Dragons. We’ll focus all our efforts on comprehending ’Zheng’, just like we comprehend laws, understanding it thoroughly to create our own ’Zheng’!" Wang Xu declared.

"Oh come on, what’s the point of sitting idle? How about this, you kill the Golden Dragon while you comprehend. After all, those ten Golden Dragons can no longer harm you. Isn’t that even better?" You Ji said longingly.

The Golden Dragons were at the Ancestor Realm, and their massive souls made You Ji enjoy every devour immensely.

Comprehension isn’t an easy task and often requires time.

The last time Wang Xu elevated his Law Realm to inversion, it took a million years, much to You Ji’s consternation.

This time, it’s the Chaos Primordial Technique we’re comprehending. It’s likely even the Law Realm may be comprehended. You Ji doesn’t want to re-enter that boring state of silent meditation.

"But killing the Golden Dragon while comprehending would prevent me from concentrating, greatly reducing efficiency," Wang Xu said.

"Wang Xu, don’t forget, the Ancestor of Wine and Music mentioned that this realm requires luck. If you’re lucky, you can instantly attain enlightenment; if not, sitting idle for a whole Law Era would be in vain!" You Ji remarked, "So why not kill the Golden Dragon while comprehending? What’s there to lose?"

Wang Xu thought about it.

Indeed, this kind of thing cannot be rushed.

Neither the Law Realm nor ’Zheng’ can be deciphered in a short time.

It’s better to kill Golden Dragons to refine Realm Power while comprehending.

Although the progress would be slow, what if he got lucky and reached an insight?

"Alright, as you say!" Wang Xu nodded.

"Heh heh!" You Ji smiled contentedly.

Subsequently, Wang Xu and You Ji embarked on a massacre of epic proportions.

The Golden Dragons were slain one after the other, endlessly without end.

The vast Ancestral Qi, Power of Laws, and Soul Power all flowed into Wang Xu, refining his physical body and spiritual consciousness.

The Soul Power was reserved for You Ji, who, being a Seed of Chaos, grew stronger in his Flame Devouring Power with each soul devoured.

...

Again, tens of thousands of years passed by, and the scene inside the Profound Dragon Room remained unchanged.

As a lonely, small island hovered in the dark void, countless dragon beasts roared immensely. Within the Dragon Circle of Golden Dragons, every burst of brilliant golden light heralded the quiet demise of a life essence.

This scene persisted for tens of thousands of years and never changed.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Golden light flickered repeatedly as Wang Xu struck with his God-Suppressing Palm, slaying two Golden Dragons on the spot.

"You Ji, did you see that? My Palm Technique is getting faster!" Wang Xu laughed.

"I saw it; you comprehended the Law of Light, and speed isn’t something to boast about!" You Ji remarked while devouring the soul of a Golden Dragon.

"No! I hadn’t comprehended this level before; it seems to have arisen unknowingly. I don’t even know what’s happening," Wang Xu said.

"Who cares! Since your Palm Technique is faster, just kill more Golden Dragons!" You Ji lazily said.

Chatting with You Ji, Wang Xu continued to comprehend the Law Realm.

Even though he felt puzzled by the increase in speed of his Palm Technique, he was not overly surprised.

As You Ji mentioned, one of the traits of the Law of Light is speed.

Although Wang Xu’s main trait of the Law of Light had always been frenzied destruction, given his "inversion of laws" attempt, the increased speed made sense.

Then, another tens of thousands of years passed.

"You Ji, did you see that? My speed! Ha ha! Even I’m surprised!"

Wang Xu felt excited, his form like a flickering beam of light vanishing and appearing in the dark void.

"Huh?" Even You Ji found it puzzling this time.

It’s one thing for the speed of the Palm Technique to increase, but now even his movement speed had increased. Not just ordinarily fast, but unexpectedly, his life essence completely vanished.

As if needing only a thought, he could journey from one end of Chaos to the other.

This had surpassed You Ji’s understanding. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you’re welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users should visit m.qidian.com to read.)
