Chapter 246: Training to Maximize His Domain Ability 2
He felt himself merging with the domain, sensing its flow of energy as if it were the flow within his own body. It felt strange, but he knew he had succeeded in making the domain an extension of himself. Although the flow of energy in nature was different from that of his body, he could sense that the energy within his domain followed a certain system.
The energy was not chaotic but neatly arranged, as if governed by certain laws that directed its flow. Aldrian knew he could control the energy within his domain, but he had never understood its intricacies. He only knew that he could manipulate the energy according to his will. However, it now seemed to be far more complex than he had realized.
Suddenly, another theory surfaced in his mind: what if he had always had this kind of connection with his domain? What if his domain could actually be considered a part of his "body," which explained why he could control the energy within it so effortlessly and comprehend everything so easily? What if the domain was not merely an ability but truly an extension of his body since long ago?
Thinking this way made his mind tremble; he truly didn’t know how to process it. If his domain encompassed the entire continent, did that mean his body was the same as the continent? What if his domain extended across the entire world and beyond? What if his domain spanned...
The universe?
He stopped his thoughts and calmed his mind, trying not to be distracted by things that were not yet important. For now, he would focus on this more "simple" ability. After sensing the energy throughout his entire domain, he directed his focus toward the vast land within the demon territory, where his test would take place.
He could feel the flow of energy in that place, and within his mind, he tried to shape it to create a simple technique using one of the elements he had comprehended—earth. He aimed to split the land. While splitting the land directly in front of him would be easy, this time, he needed to design his own flow of energy, treating both nature and domain as his body, in order to split the land within the demon territory.
There was no dantian, no meridians, but nature had its own system, which he could now sense within his domain.
His mind worked hard to shape the energy flow, making the "command" to split the land successfully take form. Now at the low marquess stage, his control over energy and his mind was much smoother and sharper than before. He experimented with a few ideas in his mind, and after a few minutes, he finally found one that he believed could succeed.
