Chapter 422 Comprehending the Laws, Origin of Darkness and Essence
"call----"
A long, drawn-out breath escaped from Li Xijun's mouth.
He slowly opened his eyes.
The golden light in his eyes was completely internalized, transforming into a deep dark gold color, calm and undisturbed, yet seemingly able to reflect the birth and death of stars and the rise and fall of all things.
He looked down at his palms.
His fingers were long and slender, and his skin was smooth and supple, just like any other person's.
But as soon as his thoughts stirred slightly, and he clenched his fist a little—
"Buzz!"
The entire palm was instantly enveloped by that layer of dark golden flesh-body holy light as thin as a cicada's wing. With the five fingers closed, without using any spiritual power, only the purest physical strength, the air in the palm emitted a series of fine spatial tremors, as if it could not withstand the invisible grip!
Li Xijun stood up.
"Crackling—crackling—"
Every joint, every muscle, and even every cell in his body emitted a soft yet powerful hum, like a sleeping dragon stretching its limbs, or like ancient stars being relit.
He carefully contemplated his current state and compared it with the aura of the Martial Saint he had sensed in his memory.
"The strength of a Martial Saint's body lies in the imprint of laws; every move he makes moves draws upon the power of the laws of heaven and earth, making him infinitely powerful."
"And my physical body right now—"
Li Xijun's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "In terms of pure physical strength, power, defense, recovery ability, and tolerance to damage from illegal activities—it is already comparable to the physical foundation of an ordinary Martial Saint. Even in terms of 'tenacity' and 'life essence,' it surpasses them!"
This is a surprising conclusion.
This means that, without considering the "Martial Saint Privilege" granted by the laws, he already possesses the qualifications to directly confront a Martial Saint in close combat with just his physical body.
Of course, the power of a Martial Saint goes far beyond the physical body; the laws governing them are the foundation.
But having such a foundation undoubtedly gave him unprecedented confidence and survival capital when facing the Martial Saint.
"The Vajra Realm has now been perfected."
Li Xijun slowly suppressed the powerful aura that naturally emanated from his body, and the quiet room returned to tranquility.
But in his heart, a storm was just beginning to brew.
The Vajra Nine Revolutions bring the physical body close to sainthood.
This is the pinnacle of martial arts for mortals.
The next step is to shed one's mortal form, master the laws, and become the true supreme power in the starry sky—a Martial Saint!
The key to this step lies in "understanding" and "guidance".
"My soul has now undergone two tribulations of lightning and glimpsed cause and effect between life and death. Its strength and spirituality have long reached the required level."
"His physical strength far exceeds the minimum requirements for bearing the laws, and is even strong enough to withstand the impact of more powerful and domineering laws."
"What is lacking is only a profound understanding of a single law, and the ability to draw upon it from the rules of the universe to complete the ultimate transformation of the essence of life."
Li Xijun's expression became extremely serious, even carrying a long-lost excitement and longing stemming from a life-or-death instinct.
Martial Saint!
By mastering the laws, one's words become law, and with a single thought, one can influence the movement of stars and the rise and fall of civilizations!
That is the ticket to truly step onto the center stage of the universe, the ultimate power to practice one's own way and protect everything one cares about.
The seemingly small step from the Vajra Nine Transformations to Martial Saint is actually a chasm of life levels.
Throughout the history of the Federation of Humanity, in the centuries since the Great Cataclysm, the population has reached trillions, geniuses are as numerous as carp crossing a river, and countless individuals possess decisiveness and unwavering will.
The powerful beings of the Great Vajra Realm, through the accumulation of resources, life-and-death battles, and the tempering of time, can always emerge steadily and become the backbone of the human race's conquest of the starry sea.
However, the Martial Saint—
To date, there have only been seven people!
These seven majestic beings are like seven pillars supporting the sky of human civilization; their status is unshakeable, and their power awes all races.
Why is it so difficult?
The laws of perception are the coldest, fairest, and most ruthless first line of defense.
It cannot be obtained through arduous training, nor can it be earned through bloody battles; it is not even necessarily related to combat talent or the strength of one's will.
It concerns the most fundamental "understanding," which is the "intuition" and "resonance" with the underlying rules of the universe.
For ordinary martial artists, many need to spend decades to barely reach the "unity of heaven and man" realm, which is merely the initial fusion with the spiritual energy of a region.
The comprehension of "true meaning" has stifled countless geniuses.
Some veteran Vajra warriors who survived the carnage of the early stages of the Great Cataclysm possess terrifyingly rich combat experience and unwavering conviction in their own paths, yet they are unable to elevate and refine their paths into a perfect "true meaning."
This has nothing to do with effort; it depends entirely on comprehension and spirit.
The "law" is a force that is more expansive, more essential, and closer to the origin of the universe than the "true meaning".
True meaning is the crystallization of an individual's understanding of the principles of heaven and earth, just as a painter uses unique brushstrokes to depict the landscape in their heart.
The laws are the physical rules, light and shadow principles, and color essence that constitute the "mountains and rivers" themselves.
The difference in difficulty between the two is like an ordinary person trying to understand the profound unity of relativity and quantum mechanics, which cannot be bridged by time and brute force.
"If one follows the conventional methods, sitting in meditation and contemplating, trying to capture the elusive rhythms of the laws—"
Li Xijun shook his head slightly, his eyes as deep as the night.
"Even with my current strength of the second level of the lightning tribulation, my ability to glimpse cause and effect, and my extraordinary foundation and accumulation, it would probably take several years."
But for him, it was too slow.
The situation in the cosmos is turbulent and unpredictable, the shadow of the Cyclops King looms large, the Anagad gods' murderous intent remains undiminished, and the entanglements of one's own karma urgently need to be untangled.
He doesn't have that much time to squander.
Moreover, what he pursues is by no means merely "entering" a common rule.
"Fortunately—" A confident smile curved Li Xijun's lips, "I was prepared."
His thoughts sank into the inner universe within his body, which was formed by the intertwining and evolution of the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Si Xiang Jue" and his own path.
Within it, stars flowed and the four elements revolved, and at the center, the first-grade nine-turn Dao trace golden elixir shone like a star.
At this moment, his "gaze" passed over these familiar scenes and landed on something suspended deep within the inner universe, radiating a unique fluctuation.
[Essence · Original Darkness of the Universe. 】
It floats silently, like the deepest "nothingness" before the birth of the universe, without a fixed form, more like a "deficiency of existence" that constantly devours the surrounding light, concepts, and even perceptions.
It is a law that represents the concept of "primordial darkness of the universe," which is a manifestation of an unimaginable being in that world, separated from itself.
According to the rules of the potion system in the Great Sheng world, if a being with a seven-god rank can fuse with this source essence, they can directly advance to the "Old Pillar" realm, which is comparable to a Martial Saint.
Li Xijun follows the orthodox path of martial arts, so naturally he cannot and is unwilling to follow the path that bears a strong foreign imprint.
A path of "devouring" with unknown hidden dangers.
but-
"It cannot be devoured, but it can be used to directly gain insight."
