Li Chen stepped into Deep Meditation a year ago.
The opportunity came without warning.
At that time, he had just returned from Underworld. The authority of the three gods Hainuo, Doria and Yuantan had been officially activated. Underworld's god summoning mechanism was also running smoothly. When he needed it, the three gods could freely travel between the Douluo Continent and Underworld through the summoning contract.
After the matter at hand came to an end, he returned to Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, intending to do a regular meditation to stabilize his state.
Then he sat in the training room for a whole year.
Deep Meditation, the description of this state in ancient books is very brief, "Soul Master is triggered under a specific opportunity, and the consciousness sinks into the depths of the law, ranging from a few days to a few months. After waking up, there is often a qualitative leap." Phoenix God's evaluation of this is,
"I have seen many talented Soul Masters. I can count them on one hand who can trigger Deep Meditations at your age."
As for Na'er's evaluation, it was much simpler. Every few days, she would go to the door of the training room to take a look, and then report to Leng Yaozhu that she was "still sleeping."
At this moment, the Soul Power fluctuations in the training room began to fluctuate violently.
This training room is located on the upper floor of Spirit Pagoda Headquarters. The four walls are embedded with array patterns that monitor the fluctuations of Soul Power. At this moment, all the array patterns light up at the same time. The light blue light flickers on and off, making the entire stone room look like the bottom of the water.
Li Chen's consciousness slowly floated up from the deepest part of Law of Fate, passed through Law Starry Sky, passed through the rushing water of River of Fate, passed through those future images that were constantly splitting and changing, and finally fell back into his body again.
He opened his eyes.
An extremely dim chaotic light flashed in the depths of his pupils, and it slowly faded away after a moment. He looked down at his hands. The dark golden luster on the surface of his skin was more restrained than a year ago. It was no longer as sharp as when he had just finished Gold-Grade Awakening, but every inch of his bones was emitting an extremely subtle hum, like a knife that had been repeatedly tempered and finally sheathed.
After moving his stiff wrist, the joints made a series of crisp sounds.
The things I understood in Deep Meditation in my mind are like organized bookshelves, clearly arranged in rows, with many applications of fate.
Capture time breakpoints to retroactively correct and superimpose combat experience.
Tamper with cause and effect and cut off the ties of bad luck.
Fortune Exchange, transfers the cost of casting spells, borrows others' luck to increase one's own, and spreads aura to suppress the opponent.
Deduce multiple future trajectories and choose the best one to move forward. Cover your destiny and hide your traces.
Shred the original destiny to reshape the extraordinary physique, and switch between the two destiny forms at will.
Entanglement Lifeline shares vitality and cuts off the enemy's vitality foundation.
These are not seven separate Soul Skills, but different aspects of Law of Fate itself.
In Deep Meditation, he disassembled every aspect to the level of rule units, and has mastered the keys to unlock them. All that remains is to activate them one by one in actual combat.
In addition, there is Primordial Body.
He closed his eyes, and his consciousness swept over the chaotic light that was sealed alone in the sea of consciousness.
That is the highest dimension he touched in Deep Meditation, beyond the source of River of Fate, beyond Law Starry Sky, the concept captured at the fundamental source of all tangible and intangible things.
Not words, not sounds, but a complete structure of rules. This technique is too grand.
Li Chen evaluated it in his mind, and at his current level of Soul King, even Xiao Cheng couldn't do it.
But the direction is already there, the framework is set up, and the idea is so clear that it seems like it has been polished in my mind for many years.
He named it "Primordial Body" and temporarily sealed it in the deepest part of the sea of consciousness, alongside Death God Position and Creation Rune.
The rest is to walk through step by step.
Just as he was thinking about it, an arrogant voice suddenly sounded from the sea of consciousness.
"Are you awake? I thought you planned to sleep in there for the rest of your life."
Li Chen curled his mouth helplessly.
Phoenix God has been quietly staying in the depths of the sea of consciousness for this year, neither urging him nor disturbing him, but every time his consciousness emerges from the depths of the law, he can feel the pale golden divine thought standing beside him steadily like an eternal lamp.
"Senior doesn't wake me up, which means it's not time to wake me up yet."
Phoenix God snorted, "You are self-aware. The Law Power in your body has been reorganized at least three times this year, and every time it is a risk. But the result is not bad, you Law of Fate's control is more than one level stronger than a year ago. After all, when it comes to things like fate, most Soul Master will never be able to touch the threshold in their lifetime, and that Three-Eyed Golden Lion is the best negative example."
Li Chen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words "Three-Eyed Golden Lion".
Emperor Auspicious Beast, the master of the power of destiny.
Regarding her memory fragments, some are his own, and some were accidentally glimpsed through the gap of Law of Fate in Deep Meditation. Soul Beast, who has the talent of destiny, used a sacrifice to integrate himself into the destiny of another person in order to save Huo Yuhao.
He stood up and walked to the window.
Outside the window is the street of Shrek City in the afternoon. There is a lot of people and the sun is just right.
"She sacrificed herself and used the power of fate to save others." Li Chen said, his tone seemed to be evaluating a wrong forging process, "The person who weaves fate with his own hands ended up weaving himself into fate. His spirit is commendable, but his technique is too rough."
Phoenix God made a meaningful "tsk" sound.
"Law of Fate is not that useful. Using Law of Fate to sacrifice is equivalent to using a forging hammer to chop firewood. It can be chopped, but it is wasteful. She has better options, such as capturing time breakpoints and making sacrifices. Backtrack and correct before triggering; or deduce multiple future trajectories and find the one that can achieve the same result without sacrifice. Her destiny talent is the same as mine. She can theoretically use these methods, but she didn't use it, or she didn't expect it."
He paused and his tone was as calm as stating a fact.
"That three-eyed kitten can't play with fate, but that doesn't mean I can't play with it."
The sea of consciousness was quiet for two beats, and then Phoenix God let out a chuckle, with undisguised approval in the laughter.
"If others hear this, I'm afraid they'll get angry with you, but I like it, I'm crazy enough, and I'm qualified enough to be crazy. Come on, don't stare at the window. The two girls outside have been waiting for you for a year. If you don't go out, the little girl with blond hair will probably shoot the door through."
Li Chen The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he turned and walked towards the door.
Pushing open the heavy stone door of the training room, the light in the corridor is much brighter than in the training room.
Gu Yue is leaning against the wall, reading a book. She is wearing a plain silver-gray dress. Her posture is almost unchanged from a year ago, as if time is flowing extremely slowly on her body.
Na'er squats to open a new pack of chicken wishbones, with a golden ponytail hanging behind her shoulders.
Seeing him coming out, Na'er raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed through his golden eyes at first, then a habitual excitement, and finally his eyes turned red inexplicably.
She stuffed the chicken wishbone into the snack bag, stood up, patted her skirt, raised her chin, and tried to sound as confident as usual.
"One year! Do you know how many packages of chicken wishbones I ate?"
She folded her fingers and counted them, but gave up halfway through the count. "Forget it, I can't count anymore. Anyway, you owe me. Come with me to buy new ones later."
Li Chen looked at her red eyes and was silent for a moment. "Okay."
Gu Yue closed the book and his purple eyes stayed on Li Chen for a moment.
After not seeing each other for a year, his breath became more restrained and deep, but his eyes remained the same, still calm and calm without blinking even if the sky fell. She slightly curved the corners of her mouth.
"Just wake up."
Na'er has switched back to the usual mode from the brief emotion. He walked around to Li Chen and reached out to poke his shoulder. "What did Deep Meditation understand this time? Are there any new moves? Show it to me, by the way, are you hungry? One You're still standing after not eating for years. Deep Meditation You must be saving food too much. Let's go eat before we go. Heaven Dou City That barbecue restaurant is still open. Aunt Leng said that you should notify her as soon as you wake up. I haven't informed her yet. I'll send a message while walking."
She rambled on for a long time, but Li Chen didn't say a word and could only nod.
Gu Yue followed him, his pace still steady, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth was a little deeper than usual.
Na'er was walking at the front, already thinking about what to eat; Gu Yue was walking in the middle, turning the pages of a book quietly; Li Chen was walking at the end, walking unhurriedly.
Compared with a year ago, nothing seems to have changed, except that there is a complete Law of Fate system in his body, and there is a chaotic Primordial Body prototype in the sea of consciousness. Phoenix God is humming an ancient Phoenix Clan ballad from an unknown era in his body in the posture of Second Soul Spirit with satisfaction.
