Chapter 483: Chapter 289: The Unsung Hero Meets Dongfang Ji_4
 

“`

Guess as you will, I won’t admit to anything anyway.

“Ha ha, let’s go and meet the Alliance Hierarch,” Duanmu Mountain Master said with a smile as he turned to walk towards his own palace.

“This?” Li Yuan looked puzzled.

“Through my palace, you can go directly to where the Alliance Hierarch is in seclusion. This is a secret,” Duanmu Mountain Master chuckled. “Apart from me, only a few exceptional Prime Warriors throughout the generations have known about this.”

Li Yuan understood that only those who were qualified to meet with Dongfang Ji would be privy to this secret.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Following Duanmu Mountain Master, Li Yuan entered the palace. From the outside, the palace looked ancient and majestic, reminiscent of a historical palace, but inside, the decor was quite modern.

They proceeded to a corridor on one side of a side hall.

Li Yuan then saw, not far away, a passage shimmering with flowing light, faintly leading to another world.

This immediately reminded Li Yuan of the pathways to the World within Worlds, the two being very similar.

“Enter,” Duanmu Mountain Master beckoned.

“The Alliance Hierarch is already waiting for you,” Duanmu Mountain Master said solemnly. “Remember, there’s no need to be overly humble in front of the Alliance Hierarch, but you must not be disrespectful either. Treat him as you would a normal elder.”

“Yes, thank you for the reminder, Mountain Lord.”

…

With one step, Li Yuan walked into the light-screen passage, surrounded by flowing luminescence, still feeling as though he was being washed over by flowing water.

Enveloped by an invisible force, after a long while,

Whoosh!

Li Yuan gently landed on the ground, looking around.

It was a rather dim space, and it felt as though he was standing on glass, with a void deeper in and a mist enshrouding the surroundings.

There was no end in sight.

And it made Li Yuan cautious about making any rash moves.

“Where is this? Even my smart ring has lost its signal,” Li Yuan thought to himself. “Could this be another space similar to the World within Worlds?”

Suddenly.

Hum~

An invisible force enveloped him, carrying Li Yuan forward. The force was so strong and powerful that Li Yuan couldn’t resist it at all.

Whoosh! After flying only a few hundred meters, Li Yuan gently landed.

“Li Yuan.” A deep voice rang out.

The voice, like thunder on a clear day, made Li Yuan’s spirit tremble.

Only then did he realize that in the midst of the fog not far away sat a tall, sturdy man with short hair, dressed in black robes. His figure was indistinct, seated cross-legged in the void.

His face was blurred and indistinguishable, but the invisible presence that he emitted enveloped the area, making Li Yuan hold his breath and his head buzz.

Rumbling~ Li Yuan’s ‘vision’ seemed to change, as if all that remained was the silhouette of the man in black robes.

He was like the very essence of heaven and earth itself.

In an instant,

It gave Li Yuan an illusion, like the time he saw the Phantom of the Ancient Torch Divine… but whereas the Ancient Torch Divine was a phantom, the man in black robes before him was real.

Moreover, Li Yuan also had the strange feeling that even though there were only a few tens of meters between him and the man in black robes, it was as if a layer of space separated them.

It was all very strange.

Li Yuan also deeply felt the terror of Dongfang Ji, the sensation he gave far surpassed any demigod Li Yuan had seen.

Even Lie Feng, as a Demi-God Peak Powerhouse, seemed far inferior to Dongfang Ji in Li Yuan’s senses.

“`

After a long while,

Li Yuan, relying on his strong spiritual power, just barely managed to come back to his senses, then he respectfully performed a salute, “Li Yuan, greets the Alliance Hierarch.”

“Not bad!”

“Fang Hai is right, both your spiritual power and willpower are extremely strong.” Dongfang Ji finally spoke, his voice low and devoid of any emotion, “Your Visualization Method probably surpasses the ordinary Divine Visualizations.”

Li Yuan’s heart stirred, unsure how to respond.

“Everyone has their own encounters.”

“Having your own set of encounters is a good thing.” The ethereal voice of Dongfang Ji sounded: “Li Yuan, do you know why I did not oppose your decision to comprehend The Mystery of Wind again?”

“Law Integration?” Li Yuan asked curiously.

“Correct! And also not correct.” Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan calmly, “Law Integration is the goal, but it is not the ultimate goal.”

Li Yuan looked puzzled.

“The Law of the Great Dao is vast and boundless,” Dongfang Ji slowly said, “like your teacher ‘Lie Feng Semi-Divine,’ like Fang Hai, like Bai Shan Semi-Divine, they have all stepped into the threshold of Laws.”

“Even for Lie Feng Semi-Divine, what he has comprehended is but a drop in the ocean of the Wind Law.”

Li Yuan listened attentively.

The more he cultivated, the more he perceived the profound mysteries of the operation of heaven and earth, and the more he agreed with Dongfang Ji’s words.

The heavens and earth are vast, and the operation of Laws indeed difficult to fully comprehend.

“Attempting to comprehend a single Law of the Great Dao alone is tough,” Dongfang Ji explained, “thus, many Demigods and even Divine beings also try to comprehend other Laws of the Great Dao in the hope of gaining insight by analogy… The mysteries of heaven and earth are one whole.”

“The Mystery of different Laws, when come into contact, might provoke new enlightenment within oneself.”

“And even—fusion with each other!”

“The integration of different Laws is very difficult,” Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, “for you, currently, it’s just the Mysteries of True Intent combining, which is relatively easier.”

“However, relative to your age, it’s already quite astonishing,” Dongfang Ji continued.

Li Yuan couldn’t help but nod.

His own achievements, if not considering age, indeed were not too exaggerated; probably many Demigods could hope to achieve the same.

“When you began following Lie Feng Semi-Divine in cultivation, I originally just had the thought of ‘letting you try,'” Dongfang Ji indifferently said, “the results proved that you are very suited for this path, achieving considerable success in just one year.”

“The combination of Earth and Wind is also extremely beneficial for sensing the existence of space.”

“My expectation for your future progress,” Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, “is separate advancement of Earth and Wind into the threshold of Laws, and then their integration… you will have the chance to perceive the Mysteries of Space.”

“Then, your path as a Demigod, and even as a Divine, will be exceedingly smooth.”

“You will truly have the hope to surpass me,” Dongfang Ji’s voice was soft, yet it contained expectation.

Li Yuan, however, was astounded.

Both Earth and Wind stepping into the threshold of Laws, their integration? The chance to sense the Mysteries of Space?

But in reality, it seemed as if he had already perceived a hint of Mysteries of Space when he initially combined True Intent.

“It seems you do not understand,” Dongfang Ji said as he sat cross-legged in the void.

“The operation of heaven and earth contains the ultimate Mystery, the most elusive to contemplate is the Mystery of Time,” Dongfang Ji spoke calmly, “Time is taboo, difficult to touch, even Divine beings cannot step into that domain.”

“Just after Time, comes the Space Law.”

“Space is the origin of all laws, the foundation for the birth of all life and everything in heaven and earth.”

“Without space, everything would be meaningless.”

“Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder… the Seven Great Laws all originate from the Space Law, yet are distinct from the Space Law,” Dongfang Ji continued slowly, “Comprehending a single Law of the Great Dao independently, the further you progress, the harder it becomes.”

“But if one could touch the Mysteries of Space early on, even stepping into the threshold of the Space Law,”

“Using the overall sense of the Space Law to re-deduce the Seven Great Laws, one’s efficiency could increase tenfold, a hundredfold, and one might even break through many bottlenecks with greater ease.”

“This is the greatest significance of Law Integration,” Dongfang Ji said.
