Comprehension

P. S.: Because the ambiguous parts in chapters 39 to 41, "The First Intimate Contact," were a bit too suggestive, the book was blocked for over a day. Today, with the editor's guidance, I made revisions, and it's finally seeing the light of day again. I'm truly sorry for the reading inconvenience caused; I hope you understand and continue to support the book. (The editor said: Only kissing is allowed; anything below the shoulders is...)

After replenishing Spirit Stone Deficient Flame Mysterious Fruit, Yue Qianchou returned to the lakeside where Bi Changchun had demonstrated and sat cross-legged, carefully reviewing Bi Changchun's previous actions. Although the huge ice floe had been shattered into pieces, it still had a considerable volume floating on the lake. Under the scorching sun, the crystal-clear ice was gradually melting, and water droplets fell from its edges, constantly splashing on the lake surface. The cracked ice floe swayed not far from the shore.

Having witnessed Bi Changchun's imposing presence, capable of turning rivers and seas upside down with a mere wave of his hand, Yue Qianchou had no doubt that he could split a mountain in two with a single sword strike. However, he simply couldn't understand how Bi Changchun could instantly turn water into ice, and in such large chunks at that.

Bi Changchun said he could do it too! Yue Qianchou frowned, his gaze lingering on the ice floes that were drifting closer and closer. Suddenly, he stood up abruptly, took a few quick steps, pushed off the edge of the shore, and his body sprang out lightly. He did several somersaults in the air and flew diagonally onto the largest ice floe, which was more than 30 meters away from the shore and more than 20 meters high.

Standing on the ice floe Yue Qianchou glanced back at the spot where he had jumped, about thirty meters away, a smile appearing on his face. He figured that with a full-force jump and some momentum, he could probably exceed fifty meters. That distance would definitely place him among the top-tier masters of lightness skill in the mortal world. He hadn't practiced any mortal-style lightness skills; his ability to jump so far was undoubtedly related to his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation. At least at the Core Formation stage, he couldn't have jumped that far.

Remembering that reaching the Nascent Soul Realm would allow one to fly, Yue Qianchou's eyes lit up. He casually took out a jade tablet from his Storage Bag. The contents of the tablet were stolen from the Cultivation Pavilion on Fu Xian Island, containing methods for flying after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.

For someone whose cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, this wasn't a particularly profound method, merely a matter of mastering some techniques. After a cursory glance, he had a clear understanding of it. Yue Qianchou put away the jade tablet, circulated his True Essence, and spread his magic throughout his body, controlling the subtle relationship between his body and the air. His feet gradually detached from the floating ice, and he slowly floated into the air. However, his precarious appearance showed that he was not yet proficient enough.

After struggling for a while, he could barely lift his body about twenty meters into the air. Flying was even more difficult; he had to dodge and weave, almost crawling, which was hardly flying. He finally understood why most cultivators who had reached the Nascent Soul Realm still Sword Flight. The key was that their cultivation level was not high enough. Only when one's cultivation was high enough to control their body freely in the air could one truly fly.

This won't do. At least flying on a sword will be faster than before! Yue Qianchou struggled to maintain his balance in the air. With a "clang," the long sword on his back sprang out, a cold light tracing a half-circle, steadily supporting him. With a slight step and a thought, the flying sword carried him diagonally into the sky, instantly turning into a black dot.

A moment later, the black dot enlarged. Yue Qianchou shifted to a horse stance, sword in hand, hands behind his back, his clothes and long hair billowing behind him. He then swooped down, heading towards the ice floe where he had just been standing. Just as they were about to collide, Yue Qianchou swiftly sprang from his flying sword, transforming into a figure and falling towards the lake surface. A cold light flashed and swirled, chasing after him and catching him once more.

A figure darted nimbly and swiftly among the shattered ice floes. Finally, he circled rapidly around the largest ice floe, and suddenly, Yue Qianchou sprang into the air again, spreading his arms and landing lightly in the center of the ice floe. The instant he landed, his flying sword swiftly followed, sheathing itself with a clang, and fell silent along with him.

"Awesome! The Sword Flight of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator is indeed far superior to that of Core Formation stage. "Yue Qianchou let out a relaxed breath, his gaze falling on the massive floating ice, his brows furrowing once more.

Having mastered the water technique, controlling water shouldn't be a problem, but how did he manage to turn water into ice? Yue Qianchou slowly walked to the edge of the floating ice, his gaze lingering between the ice and the lake water. He believed that since Bi Changchun said he could do it, he definitely could.

Yue Qianchou extended his Divine Sense into the lake, a sense of intimacy welling up within him, as if the lake were an extension of his own body. Suddenly, with the teasing of his fingers, streams of clear lake water would leap out of the surface and fall back in, making a "plop, plop, plop" sound. When his Divine Sense reached the point where the floating ice met the lake water, his fingers suddenly stopped teasing.

Just then, he suddenly heard Bi Changchun's voice transmission reminding him. "Everything has two sides, and things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes."

"How stupid!" Yue Qianchou slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing that water can freeze because of its low temperature. He had cultivated a fire technique, and controlling temperature was his forte. If he controlled it well, he could make the surrounding temperature frighteningly high, and absorbing the temperature would naturally lower the surrounding temperature. Isn't this the principle of reversal when things reach their extreme?

"Thank you for your guidance, Master," Yue Qianchou bowed to the center of the island. He then flicked his wrist towards the lake, and a stream of water flew towards him, forming a water sphere in his palm. Holding the water sphere in one hand, he activated his fire technique, causing the temperature in his palm to drop rapidly. Instantly, a white mist rose, and a crystal-clear ice sphere formed in the blink of an eye. The heat absorbed into his palm was immediately devoured by the fire element, becoming nourishment for the azure fire element. This amount of heat, absorbed into the azure fire element, was utterly insignificant.

"Things reach their extremes and then reverse, I see, I see, haha!" Yue Qianchou danced excitedly. He casually tossed the ice puck aside, then stirred up the lake water, practicing his skills. All sorts of ice crystals took shape under his hands. As he became more and more proficient, he raised both palms, and ten columns of water rose from the lake. He then extended two fingers from both hands and quickly pointed at the ten columns of water, and ice pillars formed in the blink of an eye, only to fall back into the water.

"That was awesome!" Yue Qianchou yelled, then suddenly leaped straight into the water beneath the floating ice. The moment his feet touched the surface, white frost instantly formed, crackling and spreading outwards. In no time, all the floating ice within a radius of several hundred meters was frozen solid by the ice that had instantly formed on the water. Yue Qianchou cheered and jumped for joy on the ice. This kind of Law Technique, which almost conquered the laws of nature, was truly exhilarating. Just as Bi Changchun had said, if used properly, it would undoubtedly be incredibly effective in future conflicts.

The saying goes, "Once you understand one thing, Yue Qianchou," which leads me to think that even without absorbing fire elements, I could probably conjure fire out of thin air simply by absorbing the surrounding temperature. Of course, this kind of fire cannot be compared to the Divergent Flame like the Azure Fire.

After calming down a bit, Yue Qianchou suddenly thought of something and felt a little strange. Bi Changchun had never cultivated the Fire Technique, so how did he turn such a huge wave into ice in an instant? Even he himself couldn't do it with his current cultivation level. With such a huge wave, let alone turning it into ice, the enormous force it generated would probably kill him half to death.

After a moment's thought, he made a guess. Bi Changchun always talked about the Dao of Heavenly Dao, so his understanding of natural climate change must be beyond that of others. He must have used his profound cultivation to create an extreme reversal in the warmth, quickly freezing the giant wave into ice.

If that were truly the case... Yue Qianchou shuddered. He didn't know about the other Spirit Transformation stage, but that old man's cultivation was truly terrifying. His earlier comprehension confirmed his guess; Bi Changchun's method was exactly as he had imagined. But it was precisely because he understood the reason behind it that he could better appreciate Bi Changchun's terrifying power—a towering wave instantly turning to ice!

Yue Qianchou shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about it. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became, and the more insignificant he felt. He raised his hand, and with a "hum," Azure Nether flame ignited. Looking around at the condensed ice, he thought, "I'd better listen to the old man and try using the Returning Origin Sword Art Technique to control the blue flame..."
