Chapter 1688: Chapter 1690: Insights on Points and Surfaces
For half a year, Ye Luo couldn’t just sit idly by, so he decided to join in the excitement!
At the center of the Hundred Treasures Spirit Boat, there’s an independent square, not large, but certainly not small either, which makes it quite suitable as an arena.
Most of the time, the battles take place here.
When Ye Luo went over, there was a battle between phantom beasts happening.
It’s not Ye Luo’s first time seeing phantom beasts, but this time, he might truly be seeing them clearly for the first time in the proper sense.
At this moment, on that square, a fire-spitting tiger was battling a strange serpent covered in blue scales.
Ye Luo didn’t know the names of these phantom beasts, so he used the images of animals from Earth to name them.
The tiger looked like a tiger, and if it weren’t emitting flames all over, it might have seemed quite ordinary.
As for the scaly serpent, it was different. This creature not only had three heads, but its tail was akin to a scorpion’s, the blue scales continuously emitting a faint blue light, extremely cold, causing ice crystals to form all around the serpent!
One water, one fire, and they were both phantom beasts!
This time, Ye Luo was keen to see what was different about the battle between these phantom beasts.
By this time, the battle had evidently been going on for some time, and both the tiger and the serpent were clearly engaged in combat for a while, as a glowing aura belonging to their respective attributes lit up around them.
The auras in mid-air clashed intensely, making a sizzling sound!
One red, one blue, two different hues caused two distinct colors on that square!
One cold, one hot, two different temperatures gave the square two different seasons.
Indeed, these phantom beasts were not simple. The power in the battle between the two was astonishing.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the fire tiger roared loudly, perhaps realizing that continuing like this wasn’t a solution, or perhaps it found a flaw in its opponent.
In any case, the fire tiger decisively withdrew its spiritual power shield, allowing the blue light to suppress it.
The impact of the blue light caused ice crystals to form, an icy breath that even Ye Luo, some distance away, could feel clearly.
In just a blink, the whole area seemed to transform into a mass of ice crystals!
Suddenly, a red light flashed. Unlike the ice serpent’s comprehensive attack, this time, the fire tiger opted for a focused attack. It concentrated its flame in front of it and dashed towards the ice serpent like a shooting star!
The ice crystals melted rapidly, and the fire’s might was unstoppable!
"Pssst!"
A soft sound, as the flames pierced through the ice serpent’s body, determining the outcome of this battle!
This time, Ye Luo saw it halfway and didn’t witness the entire fight, but he still learned something.
Pierce the surface with a point?
Gather your power to a single point and unleash a powerful attack!
No particular technique, just the purest application of strength!
This was the fire tiger’s way of fighting.
It seems, this wasn’t unfeasible!
Ye Luo’s hands turned slightly, and a cluster of earth fire appeared. He then quickly compressed it, constantly condensing it, and in a moment, the flame shrank from the size of a fist to that of a thumb.
Looking at this flame, Ye Luo’s thoughts raced.
Something’s wrong, something doesn’t seem right. Although Ye Luo had compressed the flames, the attack power unleashed was about the same as the previous fist-sized flame, and changing its volume didn’t determine the strength of the attack.
Could Ye Luo have misunderstood?
With a wave of his hand, the earth fire disappeared, and Ye Luo switched to spiritual power.
But even after compressing the spiritual power, the result was the same.
While Ye Luo was pondering, Ao Long’s voice emerged.
"Kid, don’t try it. This is not a method you can control yet."
What’s that supposed to mean?
Ye Luo was slightly taken aback. Wasn’t it just a simple breakthrough by concentrating on a point?
Such a simple principle, could Ao Long really think Ye Luo wouldn’t understand it?
In any case, Ye Luo was educated, wasn’t he?
Ye Luo was about to refute, but heard Ao Long’s voice again.
"Kid, what you see might not be real. This point, you should understand without me saying. The fire tiger’s attack, though simple, actually contains certain laws within it. This might be the tiger’s racial talent. You shouldn’t be thinking about this now. Only when you encounter the power of law will you understand the mystery!"
"Thank you for the advice, senior!"
Ye Luo replied directly, but he didn’t fully agree with Ao Long in his heart.
Even though the words seemed simple and Ao Long appeared to be making some sense, that doesn’t mean Ye Luo would just accept it.
Ye Luo felt like he was grasping something, but he couldn’t quite catch it!
Frowning, Ye Luo kept trying to explore, but found he couldn’t even find a starting point.
Could it be, as Ao Long said, without contact with the power of law, it’s impossible to explore?
No, Ye Luo refused to believe it, as even the cultivation method he used was something he had made up randomly!
According to the people of the Martial Realm, Ye Luo was a wild cultivator, without even the most basic life-bound cultivation technique!
While others had Eight Realm Qi Cyclone, Ye Luo had a galaxy of stars, while others cultivated Spirit Martial, Ye Luo condensed spirits into a pill!
Ye Luo never walked the same path as others!
Suddenly, two huge fireballs appeared in both of Ye Luo’s hands.
The people around him were startled.
Then, Ye Luo quickly compressed the two big fireballs continuously, and when they reached the size of a fist, he couldn’t compress them further, so he just watched silently, still deep in thought!
Fireballs! Compression!
Point and surface!
Spiritual Power! Martial Techniques! Secret Technique! Divine Skills!
Each term surfaced, and Ye Luo found himself in a persistent loop!
Suddenly, Ye Luo thought of a phrase: "The Great Dao is formless!"
That’s it, these four words, "The Great Dao is formless!"
But what does this "The Great Dao is formless" truly mean?
Perhaps someone thinks it refers to the countless methods on the path of cultivation!
Indeed, this is true. Cultivation, cultivation, everyone follows existing cultivation techniques, at most just modifying them slightly!
