Chapter 194: Slashed Mountain Sea Taoist Monarch, Name Shakes the Eight Directions! Master 6 Laws, Lu Changsheng's Inference Divine Skill! _5
"If this gets out, that you've slain the Taoist Monarch of Mountain Sea, I'm afraid you'll be ranked among the pinnacle Dao Foundations within the Ancient Domain's third layer region..."
Zhao Yuanshan's expression was somewhat complicated.
He had a good relationship with Lu Changsheng, and the stronger Lu Changsheng became, the greater the benefits for Zhao Yuanshan.
However, witnessing Lu Changsheng's truly unparalleled cultivation speed, then looking at his own progress, Zhao Yuanshan couldn't help but feel an overwhelming bitterness within.
People truly can't be compared sometimes.
"Brother Zhao, I'm here to exchange for four drops of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood. Specifically, two drops of Gold Attribute Heavenly Demon Essence Blood, and two drops of Water Attribute Heavenly Demon Essence Blood."
Lu Changsheng directly stated his purpose.
"Not a problem."
Zhao Yuanshan had plenty of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood of various attributes in his possession.
Merely trading them had no real impact on Zhao Yuanshan.
Moreover, what Lu Changsheng sought to exchange for was Five Elements Attribute Heavenly Demon Essence Blood.
By nature, Five Elements Attribute Heavenly Demon Essence Blood was the most abundant and common type, hardly considered rare.
Soon enough, Lu Changsheng successfully acquired two drops of Gold Attribute Heavenly Demon Essence Blood and two drops of Water Attribute Heavenly Demon Essence Blood.
Just as Lu Changsheng was preparing to leave the Trading Hall, Zhao Yuanshan hesitated for a moment before advising him, "Brother Lu, this matter of you killing the Taoist Monarch of Mountain Sea will have significant repercussions. News of it will likely spread, and you may find maintaining a low profile in the future impossible..."
Lu Changsheng had already been prepared for this.
He thus smiled and said, "Back in the Ancient Domain's second layer, my reputation was far bigger than it is now. No matter how widespread my name becomes, it won't affect my cultivation."
Afterward, Lu Changsheng departed from the Trading Hall.
Zhao Yuanshan also smiled faintly.
Back then, Lu Changsheng was nothing short of a peerless figure, dominating the two rankings, surpassing both the immortal path and martial arts with unmatched grace.
His renown was known to all.
Compared to that illustrious fame, his current notoriety from killing the Taoist Monarch of Mountain Sea was trivial.
Zhao Yuanshan had indeed underestimated Lu Changsheng.
Upon returning to his Cave Mansion, Lu Changsheng took out the two drops of Gold Attribute Heavenly Demon Essence Blood.
As for the outside world's chatter about him, Lu Changsheng paid it no mind.
The Taoist Monarch of Mountain Sea was already dead.
Could there possibly be someone seeking revenge for him?
Even if someone came for revenge, Lu Changsheng had nothing to fear.
After all, after his next closed-door training session, Lu Changsheng's strength would rise to an unimaginable level of terror.
"I'll start by comprehending the Laws."
Lu Changsheng closed his eyes and began contemplating the Gold Law and Water Law.
He was exceptionally practiced in drawing from the Heavenly Demon Essence Blood to comprehend Laws, rich with experience.
One day, two days, three days, four days...
After four days, Lu Changsheng's brain trembled slightly.
A pair of new radiances flickered.
They were the Gold Law and Water Law!
"Success!"
Comprehending two Laws posed little difficulty for Lu Changsheng.
"Buzz."
With a single thought, Lu Changsheng commanded:
Gold Law, Wood Law, Water Law, Flame Law—altogether, four Laws.
Four radiances intermingled.
Lu Changsheng was now only one Law—Earth Law—away from completing the Five Elements Law.
Adding the Spiritual Law and Wind Law, Lu Changsheng had mastered six Laws in total.
As the six Laws simultaneously surfaced within Lu Changsheng's brain space, his brain quaked violently, expanding its coverage explosively!
In fact, each mastered Law greatly expanded the coverage area of the brain space.
With six mastered Laws, Lu Changsheng's brain space now extended extraordinarily far.
In that moment, Lu Changsheng reached a sudden realization.
"I now possess six Laws!"
"With these six Laws, the power of my brain space already surpasses most pinnacle Dao Foundations."
"In the entire Ancient Domain's third layer, mastering four Laws is enough to be considered an exceptionally powerful Dao Foundation cultivator. Mastering five Laws is frightfully rare. As for mastering six Laws, perhaps only a small handful exist..."
Lu Changsheng murmured quietly.
At this moment, he belonged among that small handful of Dao Foundation cultivators within the Ancient Domain's third layer!
His current strength was truly overwhelming.
If he were to encounter the Taoist Monarch of Mountain Sea now...
Lu Changsheng could annihilate him with a mere flip of his palm.
That was just how "dominant" he had become.
Six Laws had elevated Lu Changsheng's battle prowess exponentially!
However, there was still something Lu Changsheng eagerly anticipated.
Divine Arts!
Divine Arts born from the combination of Wind Law with Gold, Wood, Water, Flame, and other Laws—how earth-shattering would their power be?
Lu Changsheng was immensely looking forward to it!
Thus, Lu Changsheng headed straight to the Divine Skill Hall.
Inside the Divine Skill Hall, Lu Changsheng browsed through the Divine Art bookshelves.
Typically, the more Laws involved, the fewer Composite Divine Arts available.
The Divine Skill Flame Flow, which Lu Changsheng had previously found, was already one of the top-tier Divine Arts.
Its power was utterly terrifying.
Now, Lu Changsheng had added two more Laws to his arsenal.
He sought to select a top-tier Composite Divine Art formed from the rearrangement and combination of five Laws.
However, after searching for a long time, Lu Changsheng found nothing suitable for his current conditions.
The strongest books only contained Composite Divine Arts derived from three Laws; Flame Flow being one such top-tier Divine Art.
Lu Changsheng had already cultivated it to perfection.
As for Composite Divine Arts involving more than four Laws, none were available in the Ancient Domain's Heavenly Sect's Divine Skill Hall.
Let alone his ambition for a Composite Divine Art utilizing five Laws.
"Nothing matches my current mastery of Laws..."
"At present, I've mastered Wind Law, Gold Law, Wood Law, Water Law, Flame Law, and Spiritual Law—a total of six Laws. Excluding the Spiritual Law, I could reorganize Gold, Wood, Water, Flame, and Wind Laws into a new Composite Divine Art."
"However, the Ancient Domain's Heavenly Sect seems devoid of any cultivators who have mastered these specific five Laws, meaning no one has ever created such a Divine Art."
Lu Changsheng fell silent.
With no Divine Arts suitable for him, what should he do?
He could only rely on himself!
"All Divine Arts are derived from the rearrangement and combination of Laws, tested through countless trials to ultimately discern one Divine Art after another, even top-tier Composite Divine Arts."
"The process of testing and verifying could demand decades, perhaps centuries, of unwavering focus."
"But I don't need to verify. All I need to do is deduce, because I can rely on my attribute panel for validation. Only successfully deduced Divine Arts will appear on the attribute panel."
Lu Changsheng's eyes lit up.
In truth, verifying Divine Arts was the most time-consuming part.
As for deducing, it required both profound insight into Laws and extraordinary comprehension.
These two qualities, Lu Changsheng lacked for nothing.
Now that Lu Changsheng had the attribute panel to validate Divine Arts, he could save himself an incalculable amount of time.
Thus, the remaining task of deducing Divine Arts became entirely feasible for Lu Changsheng.
"I will deduce a Composite Divine Art formed from five Laws, potentially a top-tier Composite Divine Art of immense power!"
"With my current level of comprehension, this shouldn't be a problem."
"Moreover, once successfully deduced, I can directly cultivate it to perfection, though it may require a considerable duration."
Lu Changsheng was well aware that deducing Divine Arts was far more time-consuming than simply cultivating them.
Previously, he spent five months cultivating the three-Law-based Divine Skill Flame Flow.
Now, he aimed to personally deduce a top-tier Composite Divine Art utilizing five Laws. How long would that take?
Perhaps eight months, ten months, or even a full year!
"In cultivation, time is of no significance."
"This time, I may undergo an extended closed-door training session."
"But deducing Divine Arts is absolutely necessary!"
Lu Changsheng's resolve solidified in his heart.
Soon after, Lu Changsheng shut down his Cave Mansion.
He refused all visitors.
Alone, he remained within his Cave Mansion.
"Let's begin the deduction."
Lu Changsheng then closed his eyes, with five Laws encircling his brain space, initiating his first Divine Art deducing process!
