"Thanks, Brother Fu. Next ti, let’s gamble again." Zhang Jie cheerfully cupped his hands.
"A man always honors his bets. Brother Fu, you’re a real man!" Hu Bing gave a thumbs-up.
"..."
Fu Ying forced a smile, but his heart bled.
These bastards are so despicable!
.....
Inside Yunn.
Cen Sanji flew back to his courtyard with three students. On the way, he patiently answered their questions.
"By comprehending the Heavenly Ti Sect Secret Classic and reaching the Fourth Transition of the Knowledge Realm, you will understand the ’Phenology Skill’ and ’Hou Transformation Technique.’ The Heavenly Phenonon Observation Skill that Zhao Xing used at the end was a manifestation of his enlightennt in the Dao.
"Teacher, how powerful was that single rain drop?" A student asked.
"Both the Phenology Skill and the Hou Transformation Technique are at least high-level spells," Cen Sanji said. "Zhao Xing’s rain drop had already t the basic standard of a high-level First Transition."
"Teacher, why is Feng Qiu’s spell called Mid-level Eleven Transitions if it rivals the power of high-level spells?"
Cen Sanji patiently replied, "That’s because the realms of the Dao differ. Feng Qiu’s spell can rival high-level spells in power, but essentially his comprehension of the Dao is still mid-level."
"Zhao Xing’s comprehension of the Dao, as reflected in that drop of rain, is already at the high-level standard."
"Feng Qiu can cast his spell once and he’s spent, due to the enormous consumption of primordial energy, proving his comprehension of Dao hasn’t reached high-level."
"However, Zhao Xing could easily cast it twice, thrice, showing his understanding of the Dao is strong enough to use the spell without consuming too much primordial energy."
The students beca enlightened, understanding the difference between sustained high-level and explosive high-level abilities.
A student asked, "Teacher, why does Zhao Xing say Feng Qiu has gone astray?"
Cen Sanji explained, "Because Feng Qiu focuses on spells rather than the Dao. In the ancient cultivation system, Ninth Grade is called the Gathering Essence Realm, and Eighth Grade is the Spirit Bridge Realm. Why is it called Spirit Bridge?"
"It’s because the Spirit Bridge Realm is mainly about communicating with the heavens and comprehending the Dao within it. During the Gathering Essence Realm, emphasis is on techniques; the stronger the primordial energy, the more powerful the spell."
"Using one unit of energy versus using two units to cast a spell will obviously make the latter more powerful. But once you reach Eighth Grade, this thod reaches its limit. Hence, the need to construct the Heaven and Earth Spirit Bridge, further enhancing understanding of the Dao through nature."
"After that, the Seventh Grade Earth Evil, and the Sixth Grade Heavenly Gang, all progress on this path of comprehending the Dao of nature."
Pausing for a mont, Cen Sanji continued, "Feng Qiu is extrely talented in wind spells. He can easily control the Wind Power, where others would stop at Nine Revolutions. Choosing instead to comprehend the Dao of nature, he believed he could continue to elevate, so he kept researching."
"Even after losing to Shi Yong and Zhuang Ziqing earlier, though advised by the strong, Feng Qiu didn’t listen, developing a spell of Eleventh Transitions in power."
"Now defeated by Zhao Xing, hopefully, he will wake up."
"If he realizes in ti and bravely breaks out of his comfort zone, his path will extend far."
"If not, continuing to waste ti... he may miss the best period for cultivation, and when his Three Souls weaken and Seven Spirits wither, the Sixth Rank could be his lifelong limit."
.....
Outside, discussions were rampant. Within Yunn, Zhao Xing sat quietly in the preparation area.
The battle with Feng Qiu brought him many gains, most importantly, his Seasonal Order "Start of Spring" had finally broken through to the Fourth Transition of the Knowledge Realm.
"Comprehending the Heavenly Ti Sect Secret Classic, Start of Spring and Rain Map were what I visualized the most."
"Now that I’ve broken through, I finally derived a high-level spell from the Start of Spring season."
A drop of water floated in front of Zhao Xing.
The newly understood spell belonged to the Water Elent Skill. It was derived from the Seasonal Order and involved the ultimate principles of phenology changes, thus also considered a Phenology Skill.
By continually adding high-level spells to the Seasonal Order, enhancing the power of nature within it, one could reach the second layer of fixing the Heavenly Ti, vastly altering seasons with a thought, producing various incredible effects."
"Using it for attacks would cause natural disasters. For nurturing life, it could induce species’ transformations."
"Descended from Spirit Mountain, I felt my cultivation speed in the Water Elent greatly increase. My Rain Skill also reached perfection early on."
"The Water Elent Skills are the easiest for to cultivate. Even when I gained an official position and received magic at the divine temple, my first realization was the Rain Map, though it was interrupted."
"Nevertheless, what’s mine will remain mine." Zhao Xing looked at the interface.
[Dripping Water: High-level]
[Category: Water Elent Skill, Phenology Skill]
[Progress: First Transition]
[Effect: Utilizing the power of Water Elent, gathering the might of heaven and earth, one drop of water embodies the world.]
"Regarding the use of the Dripping Water Technique, I wonder if there’s any information in the Earth Mirror." Zhao Xing took out the Earth Mirror to check.
Achieving high-level magic, using spells beca more profound.
Now understanding the Dripping Water Technique, it was rely the simplest control. How to grow and continue cultivation? Naturally, by relying on the experiences of predecessors.
After a brief search in the Earth Mirror, nurous secret techniques related to the Dripping Water Technique quickly erged.
Countless people had comprehended the Seasonal Diagram by now, making it extrely difficult to create a new spell. Usually, what one understood, others had already comprehended, and developed in many new ways.
Zhao Xing’s gaze fell on the first-ranked secret technique with the highest rating in the Earth Mirror—[Dripping Water Domain]
[Dripping Water Domain is a four-form advanced secret technique based on the Dripping Water Technique.]
[First Form ’Dripping Water into a Line’, applicable from First to Third Transition, capable of controlling nine drops of water to attack the enemy, forming a line between them, utilizing the nine drops for trapping, attacking, or defending.]
[Second Form ’Dripping Water Hundred Line Flow’, applicable from Fourth to Sixth Transition, capable of controlling a hundred drops of water to attack the enemy.]
[Third Form ’Dripping Water Ten Thousand Threads’, requires reaching the Seventh Transition, rain drops forming thousands of threads, layered killings.]
[Fourth Form ’Dripping Water Domain’, perfected Dripping Water Technique, infinite rain drops, wherever they cover, is the domain, granting the power of life and death.]
[The four forms of secret techniques are profound and difficult, requiring point costs to purchase, covering the creation costs from originator ’Nangong Ye’ and the Fifth-tier Preaching Painting creation costs.]
[First form secret technique includes ’One Fifth-tier Preaching Painting’, purchase cost: fifty thousand points.]
[Second form secret technique includes ’Two Fifth-tier Preaching Paintings’, purchase cost: one hundred fifty thousand points.]
[Third form secret technique includes ’Four Fifth-tier Preaching Paintings’, purchase cost: three hundred thousand points.]
[Fourth form secret technique includes ’Eight Fifth-tier Preaching Paintings’, purchase cost: one million points.]
[Note: First-class geniuses can receive discount benefits, graded as seven, eight, or nine tenths off. Once purchased, no refunds or resale allowed, choose cautiously!]
"Damn, that’s expensive." Zhao Xing couldn’t help but grouse. "Even with the discount, the first form costs thirty-five thousand points."
But expensive for a reason.
[Dripping Water Domain] provided not only the cultivation direction of the Dripping Water Technique but also its secret applications.
The sa spell, in different hands, would have varying effects.
The Dao is the root, spells are the manifestations, and techniques are the experience.
For example, Feng Qiu’s wind spell had greater power than others because he developed several secret techniques.
The Grassman Technique "Liu’s Technique of Weaving" taught by Xue Wenzhong was similarly unique. Derived from a master surnad Liu, different weaving thods in the Grassman Technique naturally led to subtle differences in effects.
Likewise, what Zhao Xing sought was the Self Sect’s unique "Xuanhuang Analysis Technique." Essentially another Elental Analysis Skill, Mi Fei’s creation utilized external aids to allow practitioners to acquire ’Pure Essence Soil’ ahead of ti!
Of course, Mi Fei’s variant could be considered a new spell.
Now, what Zhao Xing aid to buy was the cultivation direction and secret techniques of the Dripping Water Technique.
If he found it too expensive, he could choose not to buy and comprehend it himself.
But if he wanted to purchase, he’d have to pay the cost of creating the Preaching Painting and the originator’s copyright fee.
If everything were free, the court wouldn’t be able to sustain it; demanding creators offer their work for free would result in no one being willing to create, all waiting for others instead.
"Looks like I’ll need to find a way to earn more points in the future." Zhao Xing thought inwardly.
Still, there was no rush to buy it now, as the power of a high-level spell alone made him already stand out among the other geniuses in the Minister of Agriculture Supervision.
"Let’s finish this Third Rank promotion battle first." Zhao Xing clicked on the opponent matchup in the Earth Mirror.
