Qin Hao and Hong's battle ultimately ended in a draw. The clash between their domains meant neither could completely suppress the other. Of course, this was also the result of Qin Hao only releasing the first layer of his Wood Domain.
After their battle, the two returned to the Elite Training Camp's tea room.
"The things you asked for will be delivered shortly. Since you don't want to serve as an Inspector so early, that's fine too," Hong said while sipping tea. Qin Hao's rise made him feel much more relaxed.
Ever since he acquired information about the universe, Hong had been in a constant state of tension. Earth was too fragile, vulnerable to powerful beings. Although he didn't understand the true state of the universe, he didn't hesitate to speculate with the worst possible mindset. Even before the Great Nirvana, there was the Dark Forest Law; the real universe would be even more complex.
Now, with Qin Hao's growth, his strength and talent would rapidly increase in a short period. Furthermore, he brought a complete legacy, which provided a new layer of protection for Earth.
About ten minutes later, a flying saucer landed outside the Elite Training Camp.
"Your things have arrived. Are you planning to return to Jiangnan Base City next, or do you have other arrangements?"
"I'll go to the Australia continent. I often hear about life-and-death adventures at the Elite Training Camp; I'll go see one this time," Qin Hao said casually, the dangerous Australia continent seeming like a stroll in the park to him.
"Alright. If you have any problems, contact Inspector Wang directly. I'll have them cooperate with you." Hong didn't say anything about Qin Hao's plans.
Boarding the flying saucer, Qin Hao looked around, filled with a sense of futuristic technology.
"Gu Lao, accept control."
"Accepted."
"Target Australia continent, proceed."
As soon as Qin Hao finished speaking, the flying saucer instantly reached its maximum speed, heading towards Australia. Although it wouldn't take too long for him to travel to the Australia continent at his own speed, the comfort level was completely different.
Upon entering the Australia continent, Qin Hao stepped directly out of the flying saucer and onto the land.
For Qin Hao now, his domain had reached the ninth layer, and the law fluctuations were very clear, but he always couldn't grasp them. Regarding this situation, Gu Lao had told Qin Hao that it was largely due to factors like comprehension, serendipity, and inspiration.
One must know that Qin Hao's clone, with a thousand times the genetic factor, had an explosive affinity for laws, yet still hadn't fully grasped the law fluctuations. It could only be said that laws were too distant for Planetary Level individuals. If he were to step into the Astral Rank, there would be no obstacles to comprehending laws whatsoever.
However, Qin Hao was not ready to immediately step into the Astral Rank. Although in the Swallowed Star world, as long as one's comprehension was sufficient, one could rapidly grow through a nutrient cabin.
Nevertheless, Qin Hao believed that every stage had its meaning, and every step of growth was crucial for the future. Although this was a conclusion drawn from reading thousands of novels, Qin Hao was willing to try it. After all, it was just a bit slower.
Strolling on the Australia continent, Qin Hao was like when he graduated from the Elite Training Camp, experiencing everything around him and the changes in the world through his walk. With a domain, Qin Hao felt the world's changes even more clearly.
This trip to the Australia continent was just a whim for Qin Hao. On one hand, he had been cooped up in one place for too long and wanted to get out and walk around. On the other hand, he also wanted to check on the status of Mist Island and Luo Feng's transformation.
"I wonder where Mist Island is exactly? And I wonder what Babata will choose to do after detecting me?"
For several consecutive days, Qin Hao traveled back and forth between Australia and home. With the flying saucer, travel was very simple, taking only a dozen minutes to arrive, without delaying time with his family.
"Luo Feng's battle with Vulture and Scorpion should be in the next few days." Qin Hao didn't have a clear understanding of the exact timing. In the novel, they almost met shortly after entering Australia.
However, Australia is so vast; it's too difficult to find someone in reality, and even if they met, it would take time. Qin Hao was not anxious, stepping on the Earth, feeling every subtle sensation transmitted from the ground with each step, feeling the surrounding trees, water flow...
Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, the Five Elements, represent the five common material forms and their movements and changes in nature. These five material forms are interconnected and influence each other, forming the basis of the world.
Among the Ten Great Laws, the Five Elements exist as a Lower Law of Space, relying on space for their existence. Similarly, the Five Elements should also be a part of space.
The theory of the Five Elements has existed in ancient China for a long time; it is a basic category of ancient Chinese thought and also represents the ancient sages' understanding of the world.
One must know that the era these sages lived in did not have cultivation conditions, yet they relied on their great wisdom to comprehend heaven and Earth. At the same time, their comprehension of mind nature is unique in the universe. Hong, relying on the ninth-grade bloodline of Earthlings, became a True God, and Thunder God became a Universe Lord; the blessing of mind nature was key.
Stepping on the Australia continent, Qin Hao gradually fell into comprehension, his understanding of the Five Elements continuously becoming more thorough. His Five Elements Domain, which had already integrated a bit, showed more points of convergence, and the Five Elements Domain was unconsciously released.
The five great domains formed a fusion point at Qin Hao's location, constantly exchanging with each other: Metal generates Water, Water generates Wood, Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, and Earth generates Metal, forming a complete closed loop. Although not completely fused, the two adjacent domains showed points of intersection.
With this point, the fusion of the Five Elements Domain will continue, and the complete fusion of the Five Elements comprehension can be considered to have truly begun its first step.
"Although it's still just a domain, it's a good start." Qin Hao was very happy about the changes in his domain. The fusion of laws was still too distant for him; even comprehending laws, the difficulty of fusion far exceeded imagination. From the Undying ones who walked the path of Fusion Laws in Swallowed Star, one can see that the difficulty of Fusion Laws is no lower than cultivating space and time simultaneously.
"Hmm, I didn't expect such an unexpected gain." Qin Hao retracted his Five Elements Domain, and a new domain was released. As the new domain appeared, the surrounding space began to fluctuate, as if it were confined, and even the speed at which dust fell slowed down considerably.
Space Domain.
Following the Five Elements Domain, Qin Hao, under the comprehension of the Five Elements Domain, mastered the Space Domain. The Five Elements Laws are a Lower Law of the Space Law; similarly, the comprehension of Lower Laws will further promote the domain of the superior law.
"The gains from this trip to Australia are considerable. Indeed, cultivation cannot be done in isolation."
"Boom!"
As soon as Qin Hao retracted his Space Domain, a huge crashing sound came from afar.
