Chapter 263: Taking a Master?
In one month, Li Yang’s Fire Element Law had clearly improved significantly!
Of course, no matter how much his Fire Element Law improved in a month, it couldn’t possibly compare to several years of progress in his Space Law and Thunder Law.
At this point, the Fire Element Law only provided a small boost to his power.
"Kill!"
Li Yang’s face was ice-cold as he searched for an opening in the tiger-like demonic beast’s defense.
The battle lasted for a full five minutes, but in the end, Li Yang was still no match for it. He was killed by the tiger-like demonic beast and eliminated from the combat space.
"Failed again." Outside the stair, Li Yang felt helpless.
’The demonic beasts on this stair are really strong. It’ll probably take some more time to pass the second stair.’
Although Li Yang’s strength had greatly increased, it had only been ten months since he joined the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall.
Ten months ago, he would have been instantly killed by the demonic beast on the second stair in just two attacks.
Now, he could last for so long. His rate of improvement was already astonishing.
What he didn’t know was that it wasn’t just him; even Long Zhan, Dilunxi, and Mute were still on the first stair, which showed just how difficult it was to pass.
’In another two or three months, which will be exactly one year, I should be able to pass this second stair of the Path of Deities,’ Li Yang thought with anticipation.
Within a year of joining, he had gone from being instantly killed by the demonic beast on the second stair of the Path of Deities to being confident he could pass it soon.
One could only imagine his rate of progress!
"Master, it has been ten months now."
Just then, Virtual Assistant Number Six appeared and reminded him, "Sect Master Flame Wave and the others have been guiding you. Now that ten months have passed, you can choose a master."
Previously, Li Yang had not only attended the lectures given by Sect Master Flame Wave and the others, but whenever he went to the Path of Deities’ stair space to test his strength, the five of them would also send him messages, pointing out some of his shortcomings.
If they wanted to compete for a disciple like Li Yang, how could they not put in any effort? Did they really expect him to choose one of them as his master just from attending their lectures?
Rarity begets value. Even during Li Yang’s normal cultivation, they would occasionally send him a private message to offer some guidance.
"I know." Hearing Number Six’s words, Li Yang nodded.
There was a look of anticipation in his eyes.
’Should I choose Sect Master Flame Wave or Sect Master Lie Yuan as my master?’
Li Yang was feeling a little troubled.
Over the past ten months, the guidance from Sect Master Flame Wave and Sect Master Lie Yuan had undoubtedly been the most effective for him.
At the Flame Wave Sect, Sect Master Flame Wave returned from outside.
He didn’t always stay within the Flame Wave Sect and often went out. This time, he had been away for a full month.
’Hmm? Li Yang went to test his strength on the Path of Deities again?’
Seeing the message he had received, a smile touched the corners of Sect Master Flame Wave’s mouth.
He had set up a notification to be sent to him whenever Li Yang went to test his strength on the Path of Deities.
By observing Li Yang’s changes in strength on the Path of Deities, he could better guide him.
Previously, Li Yang’s rate of improvement had been a pleasant surprise.
Leaving aside the two special cases, Mixed Void and Lan Yu, Li Yang’s rate of progress was definitely among the top of the invincible Longevity Realm geniuses in his batch. Even Dilunxi couldn’t compare to him.
’Let’s see how Li Yang’s strength is doing.’
He opened the video, a smile on his face, ready to see how much Li Yang had improved this time.
However, after watching for only a few seconds, the smile on his face began to fade slightly.
’Fire Element Law?’
He had actually detected fluctuations of the Fire Element Law within Li Yang’s Hexagram Spear technique.
He knew that Li Yang had previously only comprehended the Space Law and Thunder Law; he hadn’t comprehended the Fire Element Law at all.
’What’s going on with this Li Yang?’
Watching the video, Sect Master Flame Wave furrowed his brow slightly.
’He’s already comprehending Space Law and Thunder Law, which already divides his focus. The two are complementary, so comprehending both at the same time is fine. But why is he comprehending the Fire Element Law now?’
When comprehending laws, the biggest taboo was dividing one’s focus.
Simply put, due to the lifespan limitations of each realm, one needed to break through as quickly as possible. That was the correct path.
Take a World Lord, for example.
It was better to comprehend only one law, master one of its profundities faster and better, and break through to the World Realm. Then, within the million-year lifespan of a World Realm expert, one could comprehend the remaining three profundities.
Once all were successfully comprehended, one would become a Deity with an eternal lifespan!
At that point, it wouldn’t matter whether you comprehended one law at a time or several simultaneously.
With an infinite lifespan, time was of little consequence to Deities.
However, in the early stages of cultivation, simultaneously comprehending multiple laws was the greatest taboo.
Even if one’s comprehension speed was fast, the time and probability of breaking through to the Divine Realm would be greatly affected.
Comprehending a single law was the mainstream path. Peerless geniuses like Mixed Void, who comprehended Space Law, and Lan Yu, who comprehended Time Law, all focused on just one.
This didn’t mean their Talent was limited to only Space Law or Time Law. They likely had Talent in other laws as well, but simply chose to suppress it.
There were also cases like Li Yang, who comprehended two laws. Space Law and Thunder Law were complementary, and this related to the Emperor Realm that came after the Divine Realm, so not many experts thought much of it.
But now, Li Yang had suddenly started comprehending the Fire Element Law. This particular law offered him no benefits at all and would even directly hinder his rate of progress.
After all, a person’s energy is finite. If Li Yang spent time comprehending the Fire Element Law, wouldn’t that reduce the time he had for Space Law and Thunder Law?
In the future, his breakthrough to the Star Lord Realm and World Realm would also be delayed.
One had to understand that only an earlier breakthrough was more conducive to comprehending laws.
’What on earth is Li Yang thinking? Has he gone down the wrong path?’ Sect Master Flame Wave wondered.
He thought for a moment and sent a message directly to Li Yang.
"Master, there’s a message from Sect Master Flame Wave." On the other side, Li Yang was contemplating the power gap between himself and the demonic beast on the second level of the Path of Deities’ stair space when Number Six’s voice suddenly sounded.
"Oh? A message from Sect Master Flame Wave?" Li Yang wasn’t surprised and opened it directly.
Sect Master Flame Wave had sent him messages before, all of them offering guidance.
Moreover, this guidance always came after he tested his strength in the Path of Deities’ stair space.
"Li Yang, I just watched the video of your battle on the second stair of the Path of Deities. I saw fluctuations of the Fire Element Law in your Hexagram Spear. The path of comprehending laws is incredibly arduous. It’s best to focus your energy on one or two types of laws. I suggest you temporarily set aside your comprehension of the Fire Element Law and concentrate on the Space Law and Thunder Law."
"Once you reach the Divine Realm in the future, you can then begin comprehending the Fire Element Law."
A long message appeared before him.
