Chapter 672 Second One...
After adjusting to this feeling, he was able to perceive things more clearly, and suddenly felt something familiar in the ground beneath.
"Is it...?", he whispered under his nose, not sure of his guess, and then immediately decided to test it out.
Far above his head, clouds started forming, swirling above him and he felt that there was a part of his Lightning Rune that reacted to the ground below him, as he could feel the charges in the clouds react with the ones under his feet. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
And as soon as it reached a critical point, an invisible current stretched from the clouds that Wu Long summoned with the Lightning, Water and Wind Runes, followed by a small current reaching from the ground, and at the moment they touched, the surroundings lit up as the lightning formed, while Wu Long perceived a new Lightning Rune forming in the ground below, and being attracted to his own.
"The Heaven above Earth, Earth raising Mortal...", he spoke one of the axioms of the Dao Cultivators that he heard numerous times, feeling that he just saw it from a different perspective.
At the same time, he had another realization, as his Lightning Rune absorbed the new one, he could finally understand why the Earth Rune that he tried to perceive for quite a long time was finally in his grasp, as what he actually perceived in the Concept of Annihilation was part of the Concept of Earth, as the lightning of annihilation was turning its target to dust, returning it to the earth.
The reason he so vividly perceived the Earth Rune just now, was that he was so close to the place where this element became highly unstable due to the space distortion, allowing him to briefly peek into the fundamental existence of Earth Element.
It was like something clicked, as if several pieces of a puzzle that previously could not be linked, suddenly perfectly fit together when a missing piece was found, giving rise to a profound realization, and a formless wave of spread from him, raising dust and pushing away the distant grass in one direction, and even disturbing the border between the two world planes.
He could feel everything coming into place, forming an understanding, about the nature of his powers, as enormous amounts of Spiritual Qi formed giant currents, rushing toward him.
As he established these two truths, he decided to focus on the more realistic realizations first, rather than chasing bits and pieces of knowledge that were beckoning him, as if from a veil of unknown, only attempting to grasp some of the concepts if he had time.
His enlightenment lasted longer than the previous one, so he still had some time to try and gain knowledge from the unknown source, and eventually as he woke up, his mind stirred, concentrating and holding on to what he gained in that state.
There were parts that he could not retain no matter how hard he tried, and those he vividly held, at this moment realizing that the realizations he made on his own were far easier to retain than the knowledge he gained from the 'infinite wisdom'.
As he was processing all of this, he sat down in a meditative pose, using all of his current mental capacity to digest the comprehensions in order to not lose any of them.
Fen Baihu did not disturb him, quietly sitting in her small fox form in a distance, though like previously, she was not physically here, but with Gong Cui.
What was interesting to her, was that as soon as they heard that chanting, those he shared a bond with entered a similar state of trance, though lasting only a short amount of time, and seemingly less powerful, but that likely still greatly benefited them.
As Wu Long finished his meditation, his eyes opened, a profound light flashing within them for a moment, before being hidden in the depths.
"Haa~", he exhaled and as he stood up, the ground that was already constantly shaking from the healing of the World, began more intensely trembling with a rumbling sound, chunks of landmass rising around him.
'Haha, oh now he's just showing off', Fen Baihu's astonishment and dumfoundedness reached heights where they simply morphed into a feeling of defeat and oversaturation with surprise, a kind of apathy that said that nothing could surprise her anymore. So she just inwardly chuckled shaking her head, giving up on trying to comprehend what was happening anymore.
Though she could perceive a change in him that she could not clearly identify, but was sure present.
