Chapter 1776: The Clash of Qi Ends!
The Secret Realm, Peace City.
Deep within the city, a tranquil courtyard seems to exist outside the hustle and bustle of the world.
Ancient trees tower within the courtyard, their spiritual energy swirling like mist. In the quiet room within the backyard, one can hear a pin drop.
Only the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowed like a gentle stream, slowly converging towards the cloud bed in the center of the room, which emitted a hazy halo.
Cheng Buzheng sat cross-legged on the cloud bed, his figure as still as a mountain, his aura harmonious and restrained.
At that moment, he seemed to have touched upon a mysterious opportunity, and his tightly closed eyelids twitched slightly.
"Om..."
There was no real sound, but it seemed to emit a faint Taoist melody.
His eyes, which had been closed for who knows how long, suddenly opened!
In an instant,
As if an invisible lightning bolt had struck the quiet room, an indescribable glint of light shot out from the deepest recesses of his eyes.
Sharp as a newly sharpened divine sword,
Yet in an instant, it vanished without a trace, returning to the stillness of an ancient well.
Instead, an irrepressible joy, emanating from the depths of his soul, slowly spread across his handsome face.
"It's finally done!"
A slightly hoarse, yet relieved and contented murmur broke the silence, shattering the stillness of the room.
Yes,
After years of accumulation and refinement, especially after thoroughly absorbing and perfecting the last "blessing" left behind by the fallen progenitor of purgatory...
His Blood Law finally came to fruition, and he completely stepped into the second realm of perfection!
With a slight thought,
The divine thought immediately focused inward on oneself, sinking into the profound and mysterious depths of the sea of consciousness.
A panel, ethereal and interwoven with countless tiny rays of light, silently entered his field of vision, its characters crystal clear:
Master of the Jade Tablets of All Heavens: Cheng Buzheng
Realm: Nascent Soul Realm (Mid-stage 79.83%)
law:
The Laws of Chaos (Rune Realm 1/72)
The Law of Blood (Rune Realm 72/72)
Fifth-tier cultivation technique: ... (details omitted)
Ninth-Rank Divine Power: ... (details omitted)
Laws and Secret Techniques: ... (Details omitted)
Spiritual Power: (omitted)
Inference value: 45
Cheng Buzheng's attention immediately fell on the "Laws" section.
His gaze was fixed on the dazzling perfect value behind the "Law of Blood," and he could no longer hide the joy on his face, a slight smile curving his lips.
however,
Despite his joy, Cheng Buzheng's Dao heart remained as clear as a mirror.
He understood that although he had already perfected the second realm of the Blood Law, his progress far surpassed that of the Chaos Law, and he seemed to be only one step away from the profound third realm...
But he knew even more deeply that this seemingly short threshold was actually an insurmountable chasm!
Getting through this safely is by no means an easy task.
Its difficulty is by no means simpler than breaking through from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Deity Transformation Realm, and may even be...
Still have it.
Cheng Buzheng was well aware of this.
It was precisely because at the moment when the Law of Blood broke through to the second realm of perfection, he sensed, through a mysterious spiritual connection, the completely different enlightenment experience transmitted by his Dharma Body, who was comprehending the Law in the Forbidden Sea.
Before the Law of Blood is fully realized...
With each rune of law that one thoroughly comprehends, the mind is like drinking sweet spring water, able to clearly feel a sense of fulfillment, fullness, and progress, flowing smoothly and naturally.
But once the Law of Blood reaches the second stage of perfection...
This wonderful feeling came to an abrupt end.
Although he was still able to accumulate a deeper understanding of the Law of Blood with great difficulty thanks to his exceptional comprehension, his efficiency plummeted by more than a hundredfold!
Moreover, I can no longer find that mysterious and wondrous feeling of my soul becoming more fulfilled with each step forward.
In other words, after the Blood Law broke through to the second stage of perfection, it was as if it had hit an invisible barrier.
The efficiency of comprehending the laws plummeted from the highest heavens to the dust and mud.
Even after his true spirit returned to oneness, his comprehension increased dramatically, far surpassing that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, allowing him to comprehend the Law of Blood with unprecedented efficiency...
It also became so slow that even the methodical comprehension speed of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators was not as fast.
Upon noticing this dramatic change, Cheng Buzheng immediately understood—
This is the bottleneck of the Law Realm!
It is a crucial hurdle between the level of life and the understanding of laws!
Based on his extensive reading and years of experience, there are generally three ways to overcome this obstacle:
One,
By borrowing external force, they forcibly broke through the barrier.
It's like breaking through the bottleneck of magical power cultivation by relying on various elixirs and rare treasures of heaven and earth.
however,
In the cultivation world, resources that can be effective for Nascent Soul stage cultivators are extremely rare, and among them, 99% are like the "Mysterious Yellow Stone," used to assist in comprehending the corresponding fundamental laws.
I'm looking for a treasure that can directly break through the bottleneck of the Law Realm...
In this realm, it's simply a pipe dream.
Absolutely not.
Second,
Accumulate knowledge and experience before unleashing it; overcome skill with brute force.
Without relying on any external aids, but solely on one's own accumulated knowledge and boundless insights, one can forcefully trigger a qualitative change, like water overflowing when full, naturally breaking through barriers.
This method is the right path, but it is also a path as difficult as ascending to heaven.
It demands extremely high levels of cultivation, temperament, and even luck from a cultivator.
And there is another premise that cannot be ignored:
Sufficient lifespan is necessary to support this.
It takes a long time to accumulate the profound understanding of laws that is large enough to cause a qualitative change.
During a bottleneck period, when efficiency plummets, it will take an enormous amount of time to overcome this obstacle.
The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators only have a lifespan of ten thousand years, which is truly...
The hope is slim, negligible.
of course,
If one possesses a sufficient number of law-based spiritual objects, coupled with the incomparably heaven-defying [Heaven and Earth Sacrifice Method], and uses this massive amount of resources to forcibly accumulate...
This threshold might actually be broken down.
But the phrase "enough" itself is a despairing condition.
Third,
A sudden realization of opportunity, a meteoric rise to power.
This method is relatively "simple" and does not have stringent resource requirements.
It also does not require a long and painstaking accumulation.
But it is the most elusive and elusive thing, something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after.
What is needed is that legendary opportunity for enlightenment.
If one can obtain this opportunity, a flash of inspiration will occur, and the Daoist principles will naturally flow forth.
Perhaps a profound epiphany can bring sudden enlightenment, allowing one to break through barriers and enter a new realm.
As for treasures that grant sudden enlightenment or temporarily increase comprehension, such as the [Spiritual Rhinoceros Pill]...
This will not help at all.
Such treasures are ultimately man-made imitations, and compared to a true enlightenment bestowed by heaven and earth and aligned with one's Dao heart...
What about the "magnitude" of the effect?
Whether it touches upon the "essence" of the Great Dao, they are worlds apart and cannot be compared.
Fourth,
This is the method used to break through the previous Law Realm, which involves breaking through through analysis.
Thinking of this, Cheng Buzheng couldn't help but shake his head.
There is hope that this method can help break through the previous bottleneck in the realm of laws.
However, the deeper one's understanding of the laws, the greater the difficulty of breaking through them.
There are no profound, insightful, or secret methods...
To try to understand the current laws and take the path of analysis is tantamount to a blind man searching for a way through his own cognitive illusions.
The Chaos Strike is also a secret technique of this kind, although it was also summarized by him, but its level is very low.
It only has some effect on lower realms.
When the Chaos Law broke through from the Particle Realm to the Rune Realm, this secret technique contributed significantly to the breakthrough.
However, to research higher-level esoteric techniques based on personal experience alone...
The hope is slim.
Unless one has enough pure source of laws to comprehend secret techniques using low-level blood laws and forcefully deduce them.
The electric light and flint room!
Information and weighing the pros and cons related to breaking through the bottleneck of the law flooded into Cheng Buzheng's mind like a tide, and he calmly analyzed them one by one.
The road ahead is clear, but we also know it will be difficult.
After a few moments of silence, a hint of relief flashed in Cheng Buzheng's eyes, and he had already made up his mind:
"That's it!
If the opportunity hasn't arrived, forcing it will be pointless.
The opportunity to break through to the third realm of the Blood Law cannot be forced at present; let's leave it for later!
"The most urgent task is to decipher the method for forging that incomplete law."
After all, the Law-based Body is fundamental to one's future path...
Once the thought reached this point, it was like the clouds dissipating and the rain clearing, leaving no more obstacles in the mind.
Absolute tranquility returned to the quiet room.
Cheng Buzheng, sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, slowly closed his eyes again.
With a focused mind, free from distractions, I guided my thoughts to continue analyzing the Daoist text.
at the same time.
In the vast, blood-stained depths of the forbidden sea, above a certain desolate area.
High in the void, two golden cocoons, resembling miniature suns, hung silently.
It seems to have existed since time immemorial.
The cocoon of light rotated slowly in a constant, Daoist-inspired rhythm, emanating profound and magnificent fluctuations of law.
Like the hearts of two sleeping ancient gods beating, each imperceptible tremor stirs the tides of spiritual energy in the surrounding world.
An immense pressure, like tangible sunlight, descended, filling every inch of space and even calming the surging crimson waves below.
It was as if even this raging ocean held its breath in awe.
Just then, the one belonging to Cheng Buzheng among the two "suns" vibrated slightly without warning.
This vibration is not a physical displacement, but a ripple effect originating from the core, at the level of laws.
And in that very instant...
Inside the "scorching sun," the silhouette of a figure sitting cross-legged in mid-air suddenly opens its tightly closed eyes!
It seemed as if countless runes of the laws of blood were being created and dying.
"Om-!"
As the eyes opened, the golden cocoon of light suddenly erupted with a magnificent fluctuation several times stronger than before, its radiance shining brightly.
It was as if an ancient god, long dormant, had been fully awakened and was about to descend upon the world.
A terrifying force swept out, instantly causing the blood-red sea below to cave in, creating a huge bowl-shaped depression.
However, this terrifying aura came and went quickly.
Like a receding tide, it quickly subsided, vanishing in an instant, and returned to the seemingly calm cocoon of light.
Only the subtle tremors of the laws of nature remained in the air.
Inside the cocoon of light, Cheng Buzheng's Dharma body opened his "eyes," his thoughts stirred slightly, and he glanced at the illusory "futon" beneath him that was dissipating in the wind. He then immediately stood up.
Without any hesitation, he flicked his finger and gently pointed to the empty space in front of him.
"laugh!"
A mysterious rhythm, difficult to detect with the naked eye but clearly perceptible with divine sense, rippled outwards from his fingertips like water ripples, instantly spreading outwards.
At the same time, in the highest reaches of the sky, the void, which was already filled with endless golden light, seemed to receive a summons and suddenly flashed.
Countless complex array patterns flashed by.
Clearly, Cheng Buzheng's avatar is activating the authority of the peerless array that covers the entire Forbidden Sea.
as predicted.
The next moment, the golden cocoon of light, derived from the peerless grand formation and incredibly sturdy enough to easily withstand the full-force attacks of a Nascent Soul cultivator, along with the solidified golden light curtain surrounding it,
Like ice and snow under the sun, it vanished silently in that instant, revealing Cheng Buzheng's Dharma Body standing in mid-air inside.
As the Dharma Body manifested, its gaze first instinctively turned to the very top of the sky, to the core void of the array where golden light surged.
Immediately, his gaze involuntarily fell, with a hint of scrutiny and coldness, on another golden cocoon of light that was still slowly rotating not far away.
A thought, like a venomous snake, crept into his mind:
"The High Priest's seclusion is not yet over..."
This is a golden opportunity; should we strike first and launch a surprise attack?
"Anyway, the oath I made before against my inner demons only applies to the period of seclusion and enlightenment, and that we must not interfere with each other."
Now that I have emerged from seclusion and am in perfect condition, even if I were to act now, it would not violate my oath in the slightest.
Thinking of this,
Cheng Buzhengfa's dormant power began to stir slightly, and a hidden killing intent lingered in his heart, ready to strike.
However, just as his murderous intent began to rise—
"Boom!"
The golden cocoon of light belonging to the high priest seemed to sense this undisguised malice and lock-on, and suddenly trembled!
The rotation suddenly accelerated, then erupted with a terrifying and magnificent wave that was in no way inferior to the one Cheng Buzheng had unleashed when he left the pass.
Blood-red patterns of law appeared and moved across the surface of the cocoon of light, emanating a chilling aura.
see,
A fleeting hint of regret, almost materializing, flashed deep within Cheng Buzheng's Dharma Body's eyes as he sighed inwardly:
"Pity!"
He knew perfectly well that the old monster's seclusion had just ended at that moment.
"If the high priest had delayed even a moment longer, even just half a breath..."
That's enough for me to gather the power of the formation and unleash a fatal blow.
There might actually be a great chance to catch this old monster off guard and cause him to lose a significant amount of his precious Law Essence!
Thinking of this,
Standing in mid-air, his robes fluttering in the invisible wind, Cheng Buzheng's avatar shook his head slightly, suppressing his regret.
He made no further movements, his face expressionless, his gaze calmly fixed on the gradually dissipating golden cocoon of light not far away.
A few breaths later, the golden light barrier completely dissipated.
The figure of the high priest, clad in an ancient, blood-red robe and exuding an abyss-like, terrifying aura, stepped out and manifested in mid-air.
His blood-red eyes flashed with a sharp light as they opened and closed, directly meeting the gaze of Cheng Buzheng's avatar.
Two powerful figures standing at the pinnacle of this realm confront each other from afar...
There was complete silence for miles around; even the waves seemed to have frozen in place.
