Realm-Hopping Martial Master
Chapter 957 - 520: Opportunities in the Deep Space Sea (2)
After reaching the Forget Form Realm, cultivators start comprehending Law Origin. The time spent here is often calculated in decades or even spans of hundreds of years.
Those geniuses who always regard themselves as the best in the world naturally are not content to cultivate just one Law Origin, which makes them take more time in their cultivation. The gap between them and those they previously surpassed diminishes, triggering Heart Demons, causing their realms to stagnate, or even leading to their demise.
Jiang Shu, as a supreme genius, not only masters multiple Law Origins, but he can also rapidly enhance his battle strength based on this foundation, which is simply incredible.
"I had already raised my estimate of your talent significantly, but still did not expect you to start fusing Law Origins in such a short time. So, it turns out you're even a late bloomer, truly enviable."
Even Luo Venerable, with his temperament, couldn't help but sigh:
"What problem are you facing?"
"I can only give you some general guidance. For a genius of your caliber, revealing all my insights might instead trap you in a rigid framework, harming your path."
Everyone's path in Law Origin is different, and the method of cultivation is similarly diverse.
Only because Luo Venerable is a strong cultivator of the Forget Realm, if it were any other, even a strong cultivator of Forget Form Realm Peak, they wouldn't dare to instruct other Forget Form Realm cultivators.
Jiang Shu shared the problems he encountered in cultivation with Luo Venerable. Upon hearing this, Luo Venerable first praised:
"Almost all Forget Form Realm cultivators encounter such issues. Generally speaking, it's only when cultivators think about such problems in Forget Form Realm Late Stage, when their origins are about to manifest in reality."
"Besides, there are those like you, who have mastered several, even ten or more, Law Origins as a supreme genius."
The so-called Power of Great Dao and Law Origin are essentially the same; only the differing Heaven and Earth Rules make their cultivation slightly different. Luo Venerable could sense a very complicated aura on Jiang Shu but didn't know exactly how many Law Origins Jiang Shu had mastered, saying slowly.
"We often say, the Three Thousand Dao are high in the sky, far-reaching, and also around us, everywhere."
"But laws never exist independently. They depend on each other, forming the world we see now."
"Take the simplest example, why can a mortal easily kill another mortal with a sharp blade?"
Jiang Shu heard this, seemed to grasp something, but his thoughts flashed fleetingly, elusive, and unable to capture, so he said: "Mortals are like us cultivators, blades are like the Law Origins we master, which can enhance ourselves, naturally able to kill the enemy."
Luo Venerable nodded gently and said: "It's this reasoning, but from a certain perspective, this is the use of law."
"If the blade is sharp enough and the force is strong enough, one can easily kill another. Isn't this the combination of Law of Power Origin and Cutting Law Origin?"
"Conversely, if the knife in hand is extremely sharp, but the wielder lacks enough power, even if they pierce the enemy, they cannot cause fatal injuries. They can only watch as the enemy takes the blade away and stabs into their own chest."
"On the other hand, if you have enough power, even without a blade in hand, you can still kill the enemy with a punch."
"This is the level of origin."
"But when facing enemies similar in strength to yourself, or even stronger, whether your attack is sharp, whether you can cut through the enemy's defense, becomes crucial."
"A strong Law Origin doesn't necessarily greatly enhance battle strength. What cultivators need is to match their own origin, fill in gaps and gradually achieve perfection."
Luo Venerable's teachings may sound simple, but the Great Dao is profound, and true wisdom only requires expression in the simplest wordsβthis is already sufficient.
Jiang Shu now is like an unarmed person, relying on the Power Dao he masters to sweep through opponents invincibly in the same realm, knowing only fist and foot techniques, at most replacing his fists with a small wooden sword. But the clone at the Eighth Floor of the Eternal Tower is like a fully armed general; whether the fists fall on him or the small wooden sword waves, it's hard to cause any significant damage.
Jiang Shu's task is to replace the small wooden sword in hand with a longsword made from hundred-refined steel.
In other words, it's about truly combining the Power Dao and Cutting Dao, to achieve a synergy greater than the sum of its parts.
"Hmm, this point, I have thought about before, but knowing is easier than doing."
Jiang Shu said.
Luo Venerable looked at his state, inexplicably satisfied.
Upon reaching the Forget Form Realm, even at its onset, he becomes a pillar in the Star Ruins Realm.
He is already beyond the younger generation, yet many strong cultivators, upon reaching this realm, inevitably feel proud or slacken, indulging in philosophy.
But Jiang Shu remains immersed in cultivation, possessing a supreme Dao Heart.
"Everyone's cultivation methods are different, but I put aside space origin cultivation temporarily back then and turned to another origin, gradually becoming familiar with it, and eventually it merged."
"I can't give you more suggestions in this regard. Actually, you can tell from the layout of the base, the Eternal Tower just provides more time for cultivation. But some laws can't just be honed over time; you may need to enter various Law Secret Realms. For example, the Thunder Sea you entered before; you can suitably reveal your talent to obtain greater authority from the Trading Building and access better Secret Realms."
Luo Venerable said thus.
When Luo Venerable spoke of the example of blades and power, Jiang Shu immediately realized that among the Three Thousand Dao, the Cutting Dao, though not highly ranked, is currently the most fitting for him.
Whether it's Power Dao, or Space Dao, having the existence of Cutting Dao, the lethality would increase exponentially, extremely frightening.
Though, once this Dao is comprehended till later, it will certainly cause trouble.
It is highly likely to draw a powerful Demon Monarch, resurrecting from the Dao.
But Jiang Shu, having fought all the way here, how could he be afraid!
As long as he's prepared, the day of the Demon Monarch's resurrection will be the day he fully grasps the Cutting Dao, and the day the Demon Monarch falls!
Looking at his appearance, Luo Venerable was even more satisfied, secretly glad it was Jiuyu Commerce Alliance that first discovered this gem. π³π«ππ²π ππ―ππ¨πππΉ.π°πΌπΊ
All geniuses are undoubtedly proud.
They are used to being ahead. Even Luo Venerable, when comprehending another law himself, had some self-doubt.
But now, Jiang Shu, after hearing the words, is still willing to try.
Such disposition, no wonder he can grow to such a realm.
For such genius, just supporting him a little, Jiang Shu can climb all the way, which is crucial for Jiuyu Commerce Alliance which urgently needs to enter the Inner Circle. With Jiang Shu's joining, their future expansion will undoubtedly be smooth sailing.
"Recently, possibly some opportunities have appeared in the Deep Space Sea, then, some spaces might stabilize; if you really find it difficult to ascend in the Eternal Tower, and don't want to explore other Secret Realms, you can try entering the Deep Space Sea."
Luo Venerable suddenly said, interrupting Jiang Shu's thoughts.
Star Ruins Realm has three major Secret Realms: Eternal Tower, Deep Space Sea, Immortal Stairs.
The importance of the Eternal Tower to Jiang Shu needs no elaboration, because even the terrifying difference in time acceleration alone is more important than Wenxian Palace. Not to mention the battles with clones within, which continuously allow him to find his own deficiencies.
