Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 479 - 188: Comprehension’s Transformation is Terrifying, Flame Law Seed Finally Reaches the Pinnacle!_4
The true hope of comprehending all eight Laws lies in mastering them collectively!
"With the Flame Law in hand, I can now attempt to slay a Heavenly Demon, obtain its bloodline, and exchange for the Heavenly Demon Essence Blood that suits me best to comprehend the other seven Laws."
Lu Changsheng rose and left the cave mansion.
He planned to find Gu Nian.
In the Heavenly Sect’s base within the Ancient Domain, the only person Lu Changsheng was familiar with was Gu Nian.
Over time, the two had become close friends who could talk about anything.
"Hmm? Gu Nian isn’t around, out somewhere?"
Lu Changsheng paused momentarily.
He hadn’t expected Gu Nian to be absent from the Heavenly Sect’s base.
It was well known that Gu Nian seldom left.
But thinking further, Gu Nian’s mental wounds had long healed.
Gu Nian needed to cultivate as well, to comprehend Laws. Venturing out to search for Heavenly Demons and obtain their bloodlines was quite reasonable.
"A note left behind for me?"
Lu Changsheng noticed what seemed to be a message in Gu Nian’s cave mansion.
Normally, if the owner wasn’t present, others couldn’t enter their cave mansion.
But Lu Changsheng and Gu Nian were so close that Lu Changsheng could freely come and go into Gu Nian’s cave mansion.
The note contained a message from Gu Nian.
"Skull Mountain. A Skull Heavenly Demon has appeared. Lu Changsheng, if you’re done cultivating, hurry to Skull Mountain!"
Gu Nian’s message mentioned a Skull Heavenly Demon.
A Skull Heavenly Demon – now that was truly rare.
This was a terrifying demon gifted with innate spiritual abilities.
Once a Skull Heavenly Demon was slain, its Essence Blood could be obtained.
This Essence Blood was the key to comprehending the Spiritual Law!
Gu Nian had been watching Skull Mountain closely, keeping an eye on Skull Heavenly Demons.
Whenever a Skull Heavenly Demon appeared, Gu Nian would never miss the opportunity.
However, Skull Heavenly Demons were exceedingly difficult to materialize.
And their appearance was extremely secretive.
Even though Gu Nian had been watching constantly, almost none had revealed themselves before.
But now, traces of a Skull Heavenly Demon had finally emerged at Skull Mountain. No wonder Gu Nian left the base and went directly to Skull Mountain.
This was a pivotal moment for Gu Nian to potentially form his Spiritual Law.
But the Spiritual Law—Lu Changsheng needed it too!
The bloodlines of Heavenly Demons that could enlighten the Spiritual Law were exceedingly rare.
This resulted in the scarcity of Dao Foundation cultivators in the Ancient Domain’s third level who had comprehended the Spiritual Law.
Just look at Gu Nian.
After so many years, he had finally encountered a spirit-oriented Heavenly Demon, bringing the opportunity to comprehend its bloodline and deepen his understanding of the Spiritual Law.
Spiritual Attribute bloodlines from Heavenly Demons were opportunities that couldn’t be forced, only sought.
"To Skull Mountain!"
Then, Lu Changsheng immediately made up his mind.
He needed to go to Skull Mountain.
The goal was, of course, the Skull Heavenly Demon.
And there was another reason.
Skull Heavenly Demons were exceedingly powerful.
In fact, a large number of Dao Foundation cultivators coveted the Essence Blood of the Skull Heavenly Demon.
Lu Changsheng worried that Gu Nian might not be able to handle it alone.
After all, Gu Nian hadn’t even mastered a single Law. Compared to those who had grasped Laws, he was relatively weak.
If it came to competing for the Skull Heavenly Demon, Gu Nian would have no advantage.
So Lu Changsheng immediately acquired a map of Skull Mountain and swiftly departed the Heavenly Sect’s base in the Ancient Domain, heading straight for Skull Mountain.
Meanwhile, Gu Nian was already at Skull Mountain.
He was deeply frustrated!
Gu Nian had rushed to Skull Mountain only to indeed encounter the Skull Heavenly Demon.
But he wasn’t the only Dao Foundation cultivator who had discovered it.
Many other Dao Foundation cultivators were eyeing the Skull Heavenly Demon as well.
"Three Skull Heavenly Demons in total!"
"Three full demons!"
"Yet I can’t even compete for a single Skull Heavenly Demon."
Gu Nian felt utterly stifled.
He stared at the three Skull Heavenly Demons ahead with bloodshot eyes.
Around him was a crowd of Dao Foundation cultivators.
However, only a mere seven or eight of them had the right to step forward and attack the Skull Heavenly Demons.
Those seven or eight people, without exception, had all mastered Laws.
Even the mastery of just one Law elevated their strength far above that of ordinary Dao Foundation cultivators.
The two were fundamentally incomparable.
Whether or not one had mastered a Law was an absolute divide.
Gu Nian had actually been the first to discover the appearance of the Skull Heavenly Demon.
But with three Skull Heavenly Demons appearing at once, Gu Nian didn’t dare move forward.
Even one Skull Heavenly Demon might be more than Gu Nian could handle, requiring various strategies and efforts to potentially contain it.
But three? If Gu Nian dared to charge in, he would face certain death!
More Dao Foundation cultivators began to arrive consecutively, joining the fray.
Their numbers grew steadily until a handful of Dao Foundation cultivators who had mastered Laws essentially drove away the others, allowing only themselves to approach and vie for the Skull Heavenly Demons.
As for everyone else?
Anyone who dared approach would be blasted away by their Laws.
This scene made Gu Nian’s heart bleed.
He clenched his fists tightly.
His gaze was filled with overwhelming frustration.
"Power!"
"It’s still a lack of power. If I had strength, I’d slay all three Skull Heavenly Demons by myself and acquire three drops of spirit-oriented Heavenly Demon Essence Blood. How could I end up like this, helplessly waiting and watching from the sidelines?"
Gu Nian was truly unsatisfied.
Such an excellent opportunity.
To comprehend the Spiritual Law, he needed Essence Blood with a Spiritual Attribute.
This was originally a perfect chance.
He was the first to find the Skull Heavenly Demons.
But due to his lack of power, he now had no choice but to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He was wracked with regret!
Frustrated and unwilling!
But it was futile.
Now the three Skull Heavenly Demons remained there, yet Gu Nian didn’t even have the qualification to approach them.
"Perhaps, if Lu Changsheng arrives, there might be a chance to fight?"
