Shen Yuan observed closely without interrupting it. The beast stood there warily, watching him. ‘Hmm…the healing powers are still there, but they have greatly reduced. After some time, this forest will turn normal as well.’
He nodded his head after verifying what he wanted to check. ‘Now, time to end this. Second Form: Tyrant’s Judgment!’ he internally shouted before his spear began to absorb the surrounding mana and converted it into lightning Qi.
Boom!
He jumped above the beast before stretching his arm back, aiming directly at the head of the beast, but before he shot out his spear, he infused it with his Fire Intent together with Yin and Yang Intent as well, wanting to see if he could make a preliminary fusion of two elements.
The beast’s hair stood on end as it felt doom coming. It hastily raised its arms above its head and began gathering all of its beastly Qi.
BOOM!
Shen Yuan shot out his spear, which descended toward the beast like tribulation lightning, but it was more destructive due to the infusion of multiple elements.
BOOOOMMM!!!!
A massive explosion ensued upon the impact between the beast and the spear. The surrounding forest was destroyed as raging flames spread in all directions with crackling thunder.
Shen Yuan softly descended beside his spear that was stuck in the ground. He glanced around in surprise, not expecting such destruction to happen.
“This is almost on par with my Heaven and Earth Severance technique. Looks like there is a lot of potential to excavate from fusion techniques.” He softly muttered before grabbing the shaft of his spear and pulling it out of the ground.
[Yes, but you only got lucky. That wasn’t even a 20% fusion of your Fire Qi and Thunder Qi. If you had achieved perfect fusion, the power would be much more devastating.]
His eyes lit up with excitement at her words, but his expression dimmed as he remembered that his success rate for fusing elements was lower than 10%.
Even in ten attacks, he would be lucky if one of them managed to fuse somewhat, let alone the fabled perfect fusion.
Yue Lan softly smiled upon seeing Shen Yuan’s despondent expression,
[No need to be sad about it, you still ha—]
“I’m not sad, why would I be?” Shen Yuan raised his head and said with a calm smile. “There is no point in that. It’s not even been a few years since I started learning the Intents, and I’m already thinking about fusing them. That is an achievement in itself. I just need a bit more time to polish my cultivation and break through to the next level. My Dao Armor is weak right now as well.”
[Haa…I forgot that you have already reached the first level in Dao Heart. These minor setbacks won’t stop you.]
“Yes, now let’s leave.” He said before looking at the end of the forest that he had reached after traveling for a few days. He had fought with a few more disciples of other sects over some Heaven and Earth treasures in the past few days.
Since there was no Apex genius from a Divine Grade Sect, he won most of the fights, while some left him alone after seeing which sect he belonged to.
The treasures collected during this time were mostly useless to him due to his own treasury. But he could trade them with the sect for something he wanted.
Even though the Sect would now support him even if he didn’t give them anything, it wasn’t his style to take something without giving anything in return.
…
“Did you manage to comprehend anything?” one male disciple of a minor power asked another person. They had met inside the mystique realm and decided to team up.
It wasn’t easy to survive and get some benefits in this Mystique Realm. If they didn’t band together, the large sects would devour all the benefits.
So, the rogue cultivators and the cultivators from minor powers formed a small alliance to support each other.
The two disciples were sitting some distance away from a large ancient wall that seemed to have been standing there since the beginning of time.
It exuded an archaic and primal aura, and all who gazed upon it would fall into a trance if their Dao Heart was not strong enough. As for those who had trained their Dao Heart? They would not only gain a technique or increase their own comprehension of their technique but also receive the chance to strengthen their Dao Heart.
Currently, disciples from various sects and clans had gathered in front of the stone wall. The wall wasn’t very big, only about five meters in width and ten meters high. The Divine Grade Sects had taken the front seats, while those from the Imperial Sects were behind them.
With Royal Grade Sects/Clans and rogue cultivators at the very back, it was common knowledge that the closer you were to the Wall of Comprehension, the more you would be able to feel its special Dao.
But most disciples didn’t care about the special Dao of the Wall of Comprehension, as no one had managed to master it since ancient times. They only wanted to learn a new technique. If they managed to comprehend an Emperor or Sovereign Grade technique, then they would have a high status no matter where they went on the continent.
Cultivation powers would send invitations to them just to have them join their sect or clan. But there were risks as well: if someone got exposed too soon or to the wrong powers, they could very well die before growing fully.
However, the Apex disciples here had no such worry; they were already members of peak powers in their region. No one dared to steal from them.
Wan Ling, together with four more members of the Radiant Lotus Sacred Sect, was meditating in front of the Wall of Comprehension. They had gotten one of the best spots due to their special status as the healer sect of the Aurora region.
There was a common saying among cultivators: ‘If there is a saint in the mortal world, it will be from the Radiant Lotus Sacred Sect.’ From this, one could understand the special status the Radiant Lotus Sacred Sect had in the hearts of common people.
The sect had saved far too many cultivators in its long history, and some of those cultivators later created their own powers and left behind powerful legacies that ruled over certain areas.
And that’s why the Radiant Lotus Sacred Sect had amassed a lot of favors. If the sect were to use these favors and call all of its power, it could very well flatten other Divine Grade Sects.
But at that time, it would also be a test to see who would dare go against a Divine Tier sect for a favor. That’s why there was a delicate balance, and no other sect dared to get into direct conflict with the Radiant Lotus Sacred Sect.
Even the Thunder Cloud Sect only did things in the dark. They didn’t want to become an example to warn the others. But here inside the secret realm, they could fight for benefits and “accidentally” injure the disciples of the Radiant Lotus Sacred Sect, and no one would say anything.
