Chapter 1636 Whole, Idol, Transcendent and Omnipresent
"I see..."
Ryu had never paid attention to these details in the past. It was clear that, at least sometimes, he should listen to those with greater experience than himself. It was times like these that he missed having Ailsa by his side, she would have corrected his path a long time ago.
Ryu shook his head and forced himself to remain focused.
The problem he was facing right now was a bit... complex.
According to what he was learning here, the main reason he wasn't gaining as much from his Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation as he thought he should was because rather than being in his dantian like it should be, it was instead in his Realm Heart.
Due to this, his Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation was technically a world away. And as a result, because he wasn't paying much attention, it was likewise easy for him to miss what it was trying to do for him, on top of the fact many of its uses had been... mutated.
Originally, in the Fragmented Control Realm, one would have small sparks of control. They could be limitedly applied to techniques and in single bursts. When the Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation erupted, these small sparks of control truly bloomed and brought it to Perfect Extreme before taking a step beyond.
Logically, this seemed to mean that he would gain access to False Control a step early, but this would be incorrect.
Instead, the Beyond Perfect Extreme of Fragmented Control was instead something called Whole Control.
Whole Control was capable of taking the single targets of Fragmented Control and elevating them to a new level, taking a Fragmented Technique and raising it to the standards of a False Technique.
Essentially, when Fragmented Technique was under the influence of Fragmented Control, it would reach its full potential. Under Whole Control, it would transcend that potential.
A step beyond that, the Beyond Perfect Extreme of False Control was Idol Control. He could control himself so freely that he could increase to the size of those the battling Dragons from earlier if he so chose, his ability to Body Realm Cultivate would be on an entirely different level, and if he really put some effort in... at least in terms of raw power it seemed that he could leave even the Nine Pillar Flame Sect methods in the dust.
Of course, that was just in terms of raw power. In terms of profundity, Ryu's Idol Control would be far behind that of the Nine Pillar Flame Sect... at least if he was using Idol Control alone.
It was quite clear to Ryu that if he put as much effort into this, the profundity of a Taboo Sect wouldn't mean much to him either. What could compare to the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Pupils in terms of comprehension? Although it would surely take time... would he ever need the Taboo Sects anymore?
It was just a shame that he had no easy way to reverse the progress he had already made with the Nine Pillar Flame Sect's inheritance, and at least for now, it probably wasn't in his best interest to do so either. For now, it was still more powerful than whatever he could do with Idol Control.
The Beyond Perfect Extreme of True Control was where matters really became a bit... extreme.
The main issue was that True, Perfect and Transcendent were all in a line. Rather than gaining new abilities, they were rather akin to extensions of one another... somewhat.
Due to that, the Beyond Perfect Extreme of True Control was actually Transcendent Control, moving to perfect and then going beyond, allowing one to break the mold of the world and shatter its laws.
The Beyond Perfect Extreme of Perfect Control was, likewise, Transcendent Control, or, rather... Perfect Transcendent Control. Rather than having to rely on force to break the laws of the world, it would be far more controlled under Ryu's Control.
Ryu couldn't help but remember the attacks of Pyrothos and Lysander. Their strength was more than enough to shatter the void and destroy reality, and yet their attacks seemed to forcefully stabilize the face and force the world to bear their might.
Comprehending what Perfect Transcendent Control could mean... Ryu had a feeling that it was analogous to this. Not just breaking the laws, but taking a step beyond and forcing them to stabilize.
In a lot of ways, Perfect Transcendent Control was akin to concentrating one's attack and not allowing the force to disperse through other means.
Whenever Transcendents attacked and the world collapsed, they were losing a lot of their own strength and less of it actually ended up impacting their actual target. This allowed a person to control 100% of their strength all the time...
Then there came the Beyond Perfect Extreme of the Transcendent Control of the Transcended Sky God Realm was a step beyond Perfect Transcendent Control.
If Transcendent Control broke law, and Perfect Transcendent Control strengthened them, then Omnipotent Control, the Beyond Perfect Extreme of Transcendent Control acted like the True Control equivalent of Fragmented Control.
The reality was that Transcendent Control, much like Fragmented Control, could only be applied to limited techniques and attacks. But Omnipotent Control made it much more Domain-like...
Breaking into the Realms of Control that only Dao Lords could have.
And then there came the Beyond Perfect Extreme of Omniscient Control... Omnipresent Control.
Although it was called Omniscience, Omniscient Sky Gods could only sense things and read the future that was aimed at them directly.
However, with Omnipresent Control, a wielder of the Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation could extend that Omniscience beyond themselves into an Omnipresent State, reaching the Realms of Dao Sovereignhood.
Why was it that the Chaotic Space Dao Sovereign had been able to sense Ryu the moment he appeared on the Eighth Heaven...?
Wasn't it because he had an ability similar to this?
Now, the trouble that Ryu was facing was the fact his path was a little different from this...
