Chapter 121 The Zhang Family of Nansi
Two months later, at Qiulongxing, at the Cliff Top Manor.
On the rooftop of the castle, Gao Sheng gazes at the sky alone.
A red, teardrop-shaped spaceship, over 300 meters long, appeared beneath the colorful clouds and quickly landed on the platform.
The hatch opened, and a blue figure flew out, pouncing on Gao Sheng.
"Brother Sheng!"
The two embraced.
After a long while, Gao Sheng stroked Nan Si's face.
"Nansi, I feel like you're a bit cold right now, just like your teacher."
"Really?" Nansi smiled, and the chill on the rooftop melted away instantly, disappearing without a trace.
"Is there no one else?" Gao Sheng looked at the spaceship.
"No, it's just me. This spaceship was a gift from my teacher," Nan Si said.
"This is an E-level, right?" Gao Sheng was taken aback.
Nan Si said with a hint of pride, "It's only E7 level, but it's almost the fastest among E7 levels. My teacher said that when you go on an adventure, you shouldn't waste time on the journey."
The fastest? That would probably require more than ten Chaos Units, which even most Realm Lords couldn't afford, right?
Gao Sheng secretly thought that Nan Si's teacher really doted on her.
"Not only this spaceship, but when I left, my teacher also gave me 10 Chaos Units and 1000 billion merits," Nan Si whispered.
Gao Sheng's eyes widened in surprise.
However, considering that Nansi will only be able to see her teacher in reality again after cultivating to the level of a World Lord, these gifts are quite normal. Nansi herself is definitely more than capable of doing so, but her Snow Taro Vine is far from enough to cultivate to the level of a World Lord.
Even with a less-than-ideal method, cultivating plant life to the level of a World Lord would require tens of thousands of Mixed Yuan Units, which is no small expense even for the teachers of the Southern Silk Road.
Unless… Gao Sheng shook his head.
Gao Sheng could afford an E-class spaceship, but the cheaper E-class spaceships weren't faster than his current ones, and the faster ones were too expensive for him to afford.
When Gao Sheng first came out of the Realm Within a Realm, his account once held more than 30 trillion cosmic coins. However, in the past eight years, apart from the one time he made a profit from betting in the Martial Arts Arena, he has basically only been spending money and not making any. Now he only has less than 15 Chaos Units left.
"Come, let me show you around the manor first."
……
What is it like to reunite after a long separation?
Anyway, Gao Sheng and Nan Si didn't cultivate at all in the following days.
Virtual universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island killing field, killing space.
Two figures moved like lightning, their sword energy crisscrossing as they engaged in a fierce battle.
"Swoosh!" A sword light flashed, and Gao Sheng fell to the ground with a thud, turning into an illusion and disappearing. Then the entire virtual space shattered like a bubble.
In the vast starry sky, Gao Sheng stood on an asteroid and suddenly opened his eyes.
"Setting this opponent as having mastered the Falling Leaf Sword Technique to the second level is indeed impressive. Using a third-tier weapon, I am no match for him." Gao Sheng frowned.
"If we both use the Azure Flame Sword, I can defeat him."
"My current swordsmanship, even at the second level, is still quite a distance from mastery," Gao Sheng pondered carefully.
Gao Sheng, the second level of the Seven Killings of Blazing Fire, has already reached a high level, and he has even reached a minor level in the third level. However, the levels of these two sword techniques do not actually correspond. The second level of the Seven Killings of Blazing Fire is only slightly stronger than the first level of the Falling Leaves Sword Technique.
"The opponent I've set up is someone who has comprehended the laws of wood and space, and whose Falling Leaf Sword Technique has reached the second level of mastery. They both use the Azure Flame Sword. The opponent, on the other hand, has not comprehended the laws of fire, so their weapon power is much weaker."
"It seems like I benefited from the weapon, but from another perspective, neither the Falling Leaf Sword Technique nor the Seven Kills of Blazing Fire can fully unleash my understanding of the laws. I clearly have a deeper understanding of the laws of fire, and the laws of wood should also exceed the requirements of the second level. It's just that my understanding of the laws of space is insufficient, so I can't master the second level."
Gao Sheng's eyes lit up.
"Xiao Ai, set up the practice space."
"They're here."
In the vast desert, Gao Sheng appeared alone, sensing the fluctuations of the laws in the space. Fire was the clearest, followed by the law of wood, then water, metal, and earth. The fluctuations of the laws of space were more blurred, and there were also extremely faint wind, thunder, light, and even a little bit of the law of time.
Although there are many fluctuations of the laws that can be sensed, human energy is limited, and Gao Sheng only focuses on the analysis of the laws of fire, wood, and space.
"Previously, I was learning two sword techniques, and I dared not make the slightest mistake. But now I have comprehended three laws. My sword can communicate with all three laws, not just the laws of fire and wood plus the law of space."
Gao Sheng slowly drew his sword, following his instincts, attempting to change the way the Force operated.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Sword after sword, each one different.
After a long while, a line of sword light appeared.
"Yes, that's it. This modified 'One Line Kill' has absorbed some of the secrets of the Falling Leaf Sword Technique and connected with three laws at the same time." Gao Sheng frowned. "However, its power is actually much weaker than the original 'One Line Kill'."
At this moment, Xiao Ai said, "Master, you want to create your own secret technique? That won't be easy, but the sooner you create your own secret technique, the better."
"The sooner the better? I do have the idea of creating my own secret technique, but I've heard that it's better to learn from the secret techniques of predecessors in the early stages of cultivation. Creating your own secret technique too early may not be a good thing," Gao Sheng said, puzzled.
Xiao Ai said, "Yes, if one's understanding of the laws is still shallow, creating secret techniques on one's own is easy to go astray."
"However, this self-created secret method is actually a process of deepening the understanding of the laws," Xiao Ai said. "The teacher said that as long as you don't rush to pursue the depth of the laws or the power of the secret method, but focus on thoroughly understanding the laws you have comprehended and laying a solid foundation, you won't go astray. After all, you have comprehended three laws, and the secret methods you have learned are not entirely suitable for you. It is also acceptable to create your own now."
Gao Sheng smiled. "Completely understand? Understand the essence?"
Indeed, the secret methods that humankind offers for others to learn primarily involve the study of laws. These are either single laws or a combination of a basic law and a corresponding higher-level law. Even secret methods that combine two basic laws are extremely rare.
However, everyone's understanding of the laws is different, and the depth of that understanding is also different. To maximize combat power, one should indeed create one's own, because what one creates is the most suitable.
"Whoosh!" A large number of silver needles flew out from Gao Sheng's side, instantly combining into twelve fire snakes that coiled around him.
"And this Serpentfire Realm, although it is a psychic weapon composed of a single law, is actually similar to a Force weapon. How to use a Force weapon after activating its runes is another secret method."
This is precisely the difference between Force weapons and psychic weapons. Force weapon runes are not secret techniques; one still needs to use combat techniques to enhance their power.
Telekinetic weapons, on the other hand, possess powerful secret techniques for combining forms, but they are also difficult to use. Once successfully combined, while they offer many advantages in use, the additional power they can generate is not significant.
"Whoosh!" A fiery snake flashed past along a strange trajectory.
"This move, combined with the insights gained from the Void Sword, carries the power of the laws of space, making it far more powerful and profound than simply using this fire serpent."
"I've made some progress with the first three volumes of The Clear Sky Sword, and I've even comprehended five other spatial mysteries... Unfortunately, I can't afford the second volume of The Clear Sky Sword. Without guidance, it's too difficult to comprehend."
"There are nine fundamental mysteries of the laws of space. I still haven't mastered the Nine-Line Flow, which means there's one more mystery I haven't grasped yet..."
The thought of promotion arose instantly.
Whoosh! Eight illusory giant snakes formed a nine-square grid, attempting to trigger deeper spatial laws...
"Yes, that should be it."
"No, this isn't right..."
Clang! The 3x3 grid collapsed.
Gao Sheng's face turned red; this test had put too much pressure on his mind.
……
After half a day of experimentation, Gao Sheng left the virtual universe and entered his personal virtual space.
He took out a pile of books and looked at them carefully, sometimes feeling happy, sometimes deep in thought.
After reading for more than a day, Gao Sheng closed the book.
"Let's try again."
Gao Sheng has acquired many elementary sword techniques, but he only practiced them casually and never fully mastered them. However, upon re-examining and comparing them, he discovered some previously unnoticed rules and patterns of application.
