Chapter 677 Future Plans

The old man thought for a minute then said, "It's not that simple. Unless you're a strong rule cultivator, there's no way for you to simply master the Weapon Command Skill. That's because for one to completely master a weapon, they need to be one with it. After that, they can channel the power from heaven and earth through the weapons and absorb it into their body. This is said to be the ultimate way to strengthen the combat effectiveness as a rule cultivator."

After a moment's silence, Darren asked, "Sir, what's the difference between the Weapon Command Skill of the rule cultivators and the skills used by martial artists?"

"You've reached such a high level of Spirit Power, but you weren't taught by a master of the rule cultivation? Rule cultivators should turn the forces of heaven and earth into forces of attack. Martial artists improve their bodies, their strength, and their souls through their own exercise. That way they can enhance the effectiveness of their combat skills.

To put it simply, rule cultivation means borrowing power, while martial arts cultivation means controlling power. In other words, the power of a martial artist's weapon comes from his own body. However, the power of a rule cultivator's weapon is the inherent power of both heaven and earth. For example, someone can transform the Thunder Force, the Wind Force and the Fire Force into attacking skills. This is the Weapon Command Skill,"

the old man tried to explain briefly.

Darren thought for a while. Then he asked, "But I have a feeling that the power of a martial artist should be stronger than a rule cultivator's, when they reach a particular level. Because the forces of heaven and earth, which a rule cultivator uses, should have a limit. For example, a rule cultivator in the senior Holy Realm can use the Wind Force, but the wind is sometimes strong and sometimes weak. He can't control it."

"Ha-ha!" The old man couldn't help but laugh. "You are still too ignorant. Every power in the world is extremely terrifying when it reaches its limit. Take the Wind Force you just mentioned. It comes from the Wind Rule, right? If a rule cultivator is powerful enough, he can use all of the Wind Rules in the world.

Let me give you an example of something that was passed down from ancient times. A senior holy rule cultivator of commanding wind owned a special fan. This fan was said to be able to activate storms within thirty thousand kilometers. That kind of storm could kill one hundred senior holy warriors of martial arts cultivation!"

"W

n a hand to hand combat. Otherwise, you'll be easily hurt by the rules, you might even die."

"Oh! I get it," Darren said. "Then, I think I've made my decision, I want to use my blade and sword as a martial artist. When I acquire other divine weapons, I can also use them to develop my rule cultivation."

"Well, it's up to you. Now you should try to understand the Life Rule more. It will benefit you a lot when you fight with others in the future," the old man told him.

"Okay." Darren sat on the ground and entered the silvery eyes state, working on comprehending the Life Rule.

Soon enough, two months passed and Darren woke up from his meditation. There were some faint green lights faintly reflected on him. A moment later, he stood up, feeling that his body was full of infinite vitality.

"Ha-ha, you really a prodigy. You've learned twenty percent of the Life Rule. If you master all of them, you can master the Life True Rule." The old man appeared beside Darren.

"Thank you so much for leading the way!" Darren answered, bowing to the old man with his hands clasped. Then he added, "By the way, sir, I think I should go out now. Do you have any idea how?"

The old man nodded slightly and said, "There's only one road out, but it won't be easy. Do you know there're holy tombs outside? The dead holy warriors had attempted to break out but failed. After they died, I attached a wisp of Life True Rule to their bodies, and I asked some of my resurrected creatures to bury them there in the graves. Then they could rest in peace."

Hearing this, Darren's expression hardened. The holy warriors died when they'd attempted to leave. What sort of terrifying answer would he get?
