Chapter 422: The Flame Dragon
Chapter 422: The Flame Dragon
Within the stone chamber, Fang Xing used his claws to flip through the Azure Flower Volume One, constantly pondering:
"In this world, when it comes to battle prowess, aside from external factors, there are three key aspects: foundation, law perception, and techniques."
The foundation is divided into two parts. The first is the realm, and those who dominate through realm suppression still hold the upper hand. As long as one doesn't encounter a supreme demon capable of battling across great realms, they will generally have the advantage.
Even if they encounter a supreme demon, they can only surpass one great realm, right? It's not possible to surpass two or three great realms.
In the Mortal Realm, a demon prince or an exceptional true disciple of the Seven Kill Demon Palace can reverse the battle against an Essence Spirit Realm cultivator.
However, for an Essence Spirit Realm cultivator to reverse the battle against a Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator, they would have to be a dominant figure in the Essence Spirit Realm, and their numbers might even be fewer than the Celestial Immortals.
As for a Mortal Realm cultivator reversing the battle against a Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator? In the history of the Azure Flower Great World, such a feat has never been achieved!
The second aspect is the quality of Essence Energy, ranging from Mortal Grade, to Medium Grade, High Grade, and finally, Immortal Grade.
Under the same realm, Immortal Grade Essence Energy can definitely suppress High Grade and Medium Grade Essence Energy.
"In other words, the foundation is the quality and quantity of Essence Energy..."
"And of course, the higher the law perception, the better. The higher the law perception, the greater the boost to one's strength."
"Lastly, techniques include various burst and Essence Energy-burning secret arts, which can instantly increase the 'quality' and 'quantity' of Essence Energy... There are also techniques that utilize laws, allowing those with lower-level law perception to unleash the power of higher-level laws."
"To some extent, the third type of 'secret techniques' is even more valuable than the previous two... Only the strong in the Celestial Immortal Realm, or even Great Virtuosos in the Chaos Realm, might be able to create such techniques."
After pondering the beginning of the Azure Flower Volume One, Fang Xing gained a profound understanding of the power structure in the Azure Flower Great World.
"Then, let's talk about my Demon Race's Essence Energy foundation. The first is from cultivation methods, and the second is from bloodline... Some truly powerful bloodline demons can achieve Medium Grade or even High Grade Essence Energy solely through innate breathing techniques!"
This is the innate talent of the bloodline, which is truly enviable.
Fang Xing could only admit that he seemed to have 'Mortal Blood', not some noble bloodline within the Demon Race.
"Within the Demon Race, bloodline ranks are divided into four categories: Mortal Blood, Royal Blood, Imperial Blood, and Imperial Bloodline. Demons with Mortal Blood, without cultivation methods, can only achieve Mortal Grade Essence Energy through innate breathing of Heavenly Earth Essence Energy. Demons with Royal Blood have inherited memories and can cultivate Medium Grade Essence Energy solely through innate breathing. Those with Imperial Blood are born with a High Grade Essence Energy foundation, and with powerful inheritance, they can even touch upon Immortal Grade Essence Energy!"
"As for the final 'Imperial Bloodline', also known as 'Chaos God Demon Bloodline', they are born with Immortal Grade Essence Energy, which is too overpowered..."
"Of course, this is just a superior starting point. In the history of the Demon Race, there have been demons with Mortal Blood who eventually cultivated to become Celestial Demons, and even Demon Emperors in the Chaos Realm!"
Fang Xing's innate breathing only resulted in Mortal Grade Essence Energy, which spoke volumes.
"No... As long as there is an inheritance and perseverance, Mortal Blood can surpass Imperial Bloodline! It's just that the journey is a bit longer..."
"Even with Mortal Blood, it's not all bad. It depends on the comparison. Human cultivators without inherited cultivation methods can't even cultivate Mortal Grade Essence Energy solely through their innate breathing."
According to Western sayings, the Demon Race is innately superior, while the Human Race is not.
However, although the Human Race starts with a blank slate, they possess infinite potential.
"Forget it... Let's focus on cultivating the methods in the Azure Flower Volume first."
Within the Azure Flower Volume One, there are several breathing techniques, the highest of which can cultivate High Grade Essence Energy.
Regardless, it's still stronger than Black Dragon's current Essence Energy.
Fang Xing stretched his limbs, his scales quivered, and his wings fluttered.
Rumble!
In the void, the sound of flowing liquid suddenly echoed.
"Black Water True Art... Talisman formation!"
With a roar from Fang Xing, numerous Black Water Seed Talismans continuously formed.
One, two... seven, eight...
In the blink of an eye, it surpassed the seven Seed Talismans of the Seven Kill Art.
Furthermore, it surged to a total of seventy-seven!
Surrounded by a large number of Black Water Seed Talismans, they seemed to form a pitch-black circle, with black water churning within, combining with Heavenly Earth Essence Energy to transform into a drop of black water.
This is the most basic structure of Essence Energy! Once this drop of Essence Energy undergoes qualitative change, Fang Xing will use it as the foundation, and with each breath, a portion of Essence Energy will be transformed.
"Too slow!"
He flicked his claws, revealing a beast skin bag, from which he poured out a mountain of Yuan Shi.
Although the most challenging first step of transforming the foundation of Essence Energy structure had been completed, if he relied solely on his own breathing to transform Essence Energy, who knows how long it would take.
Therefore, Fang Xing chose a lavish cultivation method—to spend money and upgrade! Yuan Shi is the crystallization of Heavenly Earth Essence Energy, and absorbing its power is much faster than arduously absorbing Heavenly Earth Essence Energy.
These Yuan Shi were naturally spoils of war and loot.
Crack! Crack!
Black Dragon opened his mouth wide, like a whale sucking in water, and swallowed the Yuan Shi, beginning to chew and devour them...
Rumble!
The sound of black water became more vigorous, flowing through Fang Xing's bloodline, bones, and scales... making his body more slender, and a dark glow emanated from his scales.
"Black Water Essence Energy... As expected of a High-Grade Essence Power! It's incredibly powerful! I feel like it's at least a hundred times stronger than my previous Mortal-Grade, mixed Essence Energy. So, it seems that Medium-Grade Essence Power is ten times stronger than Mortal-Grade, and Immortal-Grade is a thousand times more powerful?"
"In other words, with this conversion of Essence Energy, I could defeat a hundred of my past selves? Perhaps even more..."
"If it were Immortal-Grade Essence Energy, I could defeat a thousand... But that's obviously not the case, as there's also Law Perception and Technique Secret Arts to consider... The larger the base, the more terrifying the difference becomes when multiplied!"
"This is a world where the gap between the winners and losers is as vast as the difference between clouds and mud."
In the main universe, although there are also levels and power disparities, humanity's greatest strength lies in its technology.
The highest level a professional can reach is the eleventh realm, and with the aid of forbidden technology, they can briefly burst out with the strength of the twelfth realm!
However, in the Qingyuan Great World, it is evident that the strongest reigns supreme.
"Although I've obtained the inheritance of a High-Grade Essence Power... But what if I fail? Will I be eliminated?"
"No wonder the inheritance is so easily accessible..."
Fang Xing shook his head; although his True Spirit could escape, it would be a huge loss.
It's better to first try to pass the test and become a disciple.
After a hundredfold increase in Essence Energy, the boost it brings is also not to be underestimated.
At the very least, when Fang Xing reread the "Azure Flower Scroll - Volume One," he felt that some of the previously confusing and obscure parts now seemed crystal clear.
"Life Law? It encompasses parts of the Water Law, Wood Law, and Earth Law..."
"So, the Blue Flower Empress achieved enlightenment through the Life Law? It's completely unrelated to me... No, wait, there might be a slight connection."
Fang Xing's 'Death God Mech' was a creation of the Death Law.
Starting from the aspect of death, he could gain insight into the opposing Life Law, and in the end, he might even touch upon the 'Life and Death Great Dao'...
Alright... It's too early to think about these things now.
But by approaching it from the perspective of 'Life and Death Opposition,' entering the Life Law should not be too difficult.
Once he grasps the fundamentals, he can rely on the attribute panel to make progress.
The mystery of the attribute panel remains unclear to Fang Xing even now.
However, its effect is astonishing—it's a 'reap what you sow'! No matter how challenging the laws are, as long as he understands the basics and adds them to his attribute panel, with daily persistent comprehension, there will be gradual progress.
'With this cheat, I need to plan my path through the laws carefully... Anyway, I must choose an extremely powerful Great Dao to ensure I have the advantage in the Chaos Realm, which is the Dao Lord Realm!'
'Unfortunately... There's no Nuwa Essence Spirit Achievement Law here, not even the Qian Tian Essence Spirit Law...'
Fang Xing sighed.
The "Azure Flower Scroll - Volume One" covers a vast array of topics, including many Essence Spirit methods collected by the Celestial Demon Grandmaster, Blue Flower Empress.
Unfortunately, none of them are what Fang Xing is looking for.
There isn't even a Void Essence Spirit Achievement Law.
However, there is a 'Flame Spirit Essence Spirit Law' that can help one condense a 'Flame Spirit Essence Spirit' upon breaking through the Essence Spirit Realm, greatly enhancing their comprehension of the Flame Law.
"The complete 'Azure Flower Scroll' should have three volumes. The first volume records some methods for cultivating Essence Energy and refining the Essence Spirit, with a slight touch on Law Perception... The second volume should delve deeper into the Life Law, including the complete comprehension of a law and the achievement of the Celestial Demon Law... The third volume covers secret techniques for burning Essence Energy, life-saving escape methods, pill refining, formations, and other miscellaneous studies... These were all mentioned in the first volume."
"Give me the first volume; what am I supposed to comprehend from this? How much progress should I make? There's no hint at all?"
Fang Xing feels like he's being targeted or discriminated against...
"I wonder what kind of treatment Song Zhong and Ning Qian received?"
He continued his comprehension, and indeed, after the Essence Energy section, he reached the Essence Spirit Achievement Law part.
This section describes the Life Law and the most suitable method for comprehending it, the 'Nuwa Essence Spirit Law.'
"Damn, this doesn't suit me..."
Fang Xing complained, understanding that not every inheritance is suitable for everyone.
Moreover, this Celestial Demon inheritance is extremely dangerous.
"Could it be... that one must enter the Life Law and even achieve the 'Nuwa Essence Spirit' to break through the Essence Spirit Realm to meet the requirements?"
"No... There are countless cultivators in the world, and it's impossible for everyone to be suitable for the Life Law... The Serpent Maiden World Spirit wouldn't be so foolish."
"Perhaps... just entering the Life Law or cultivating a certain Essence Spirit Law is enough to satisfy the requirements?"
Fang Xing began to speculate.
Soon, he reached the final part of the "Azure Flower Scroll - Volume One."
In addition to a large amount of content on the Nuwa Essence Spirit Law, the Blue Flower Empress, like her previous Essence Energy foundation, also recorded several High-Grade Essence Spirit inheritances she had collected.
The worst among them was the 'Flame Spirit Essence Spirit Law.'
There was even one that seemed to surpass the 'Nuwa Essence Spirit Law'!
"Hmm?"
Fang Xing looked at the last page of the book and saw an indescribable scene.
There was a dragon, coiled atop Zhongshan Mountain.
It had a single eye, a human face, and a serpentine body. It regarded its eye as day, its sleep as night, its breath as winter, its sigh as summer, and its rest as wind...
It was named the 'Flame Dragon Essence Spirit Law'!
