Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was wood-attributed!
And the Death Attribute was particularly effective at restraining wood-attributed plants.
If Tang San had followed the life path, Li Qinglian would not have had such an easy time.
On the field, Li Qinglian gently exhaled. The pitch-black tree shadow around him slowly receded, while most of the ashes on the ground scattered away with the wind.
He looked at Tang San, his tone as calm as ever.
"Your Blue Silver Grass is very resilient, much stronger than I expected."
"Ordinary attacks truly have difficulty cutting through it. Therefore, you can use a considerable number of Blue Silver Grasses to control your opponents."
Li Qinglian analyzed.
Tang San's path could not be considered wrong.
Against most opponents in this world, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was indeed quite formidable.
Under the control of those Blue Silver vines carrying the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, ordinary people would find them difficult to deal with.
Whether they burned them with fire, cut them with sharp weapons, or shattered them through brute force, all would require a great deal of effort. And Tang San could use that opening to defeat his enemies.
"But... why did my Blue Silver Grass have no effect on you?"
Tang San's face turned deathly pale.
This was the first time his Blue Silver Grass had performed so poorly.
It had no combat power whatsoever!
He could not even get close to Li Qinglian, so how could he possibly control him?
"Because... I am in a Higher Dimension."
"A Higher Dimension? How could that be?"
Tang San's pupils contracted. Feeling the deathly still aura around Li Qinglian, he understood what Li Qinglian meant.
That aura was powerful.
None of the Soul Masters he had encountered before had ever given him this feeling!
A Higher Dimension!
Tang San's face suddenly turned pale in an instant.
He suddenly understood something.
Every genius he had encountered, including himself, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong, all belonged to the same category.
He and Dai Mubai were on the same dimension.
Within that same dimension, he was a top-tier genius.
But Li Qinglian was a monster from a Higher Dimension!
But what exactly was a dimension?
"A Higher Dimension?"
Xiao Wu recalled the scene from a long, long time ago, when she had seen that pitch-black giant tree.
Though it had only ten thousand years of cultivation, it possessed power capable of making even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts wary!
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai...
All the Soul Masters present fell into deep thought as they listened to Li Qinglian's words.
That was right!
Li Qinglian had rendered Tang San incapable of fighting without the slightest effort.
There had not even been any obvious fluctuation of Soul Power around him!
This kind of overwhelming dominance was definitely not the suppression of the strong over the weak.
It was the absolute crushing of a higher dimension over a lower one!
But what was a dimension?
What did this dimension represent?
Thinking back on the battle they had just witnessed while listening to Li Qinglian's words, everyone felt that their understanding of Martial Souls seemed woefully inadequate!
At the very least, they had never heard such a theory before.
In the current world of Soul Masters, the mainstream view was that control-type Soul Masters restrained defense-type Soul Masters, agility attack-type Soul Masters restrained control-type Soul Masters, defense-type Soul Masters restrained agility attack-type Soul Masters, and power attack-type Soul Masters restrained defense-type Soul Masters.
Therefore, whether in individual combat or team coordination, all Soul Masters seemed unable to escape this cycle of restraint.
But now, they suddenly realized something.
Whether they were control-type, power attack-type, agility attack-type, or defense-type, they all seemed to be Soul Masters of the same dimension fighting one another.
Li Qinglian had definitely broken free from this strange cycle of restraint!
"Judging from Li Qinglian's Martial Soul, whether it is a power attack-type, agility attack-type, control-type, or defense-type Soul Master, none of them seem capable of inflicting effective damage on him."
"Could this be a Higher Dimension?"
Ning Rongrong murmured.
Her heart pounded wildly.
She knew that even Bone Grandpa and Sword Grandpa had never taught her this.
As an auxiliary-type Soul Master, Ning Rongrong's own combat power was practically negligible. Any combat-type Soul Master could restrain her.
The Death Divine Tree itself belonged to none of the categories of power attack, agility attack, control, or defense, nor would it be restrained by any of them.
Likewise, the only things capable of threatening Li Qinglian would be the five high-level attributes from the God Realm, or other attributes capable of rivaling them!
Only when attributes existed on the same dimension would differing Martial Soul types produce a chain of restraint.
But when the dimensions of their attributes differed, it would be the absolute crushing of high-level attributes over low-level ones!
Absolute crushing! There was no room for maneuver at all!
"Xiao Wu... you seem quite familiar with Li Qinglian. Do you know what he means?"
Zhu Zhuqing tugged lightly at Xiao Wu's hand and asked in a soft voice.
Her talent was the weakest among the Shrek Seven Monsters. She had only reached her current level through her own diligence and hard work. Zhu Zhuqing thirsted for knowledge of theories she had never learned before.
"I don't know either. Maybe it has something to do with attributes..."
A sharp light flickered in Xiao Wu's eyes.
A Higher Dimension!
Perhaps that was why even the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest's core region treated Li Qinglian with such respect. When Li Qinglian had appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, Bi Ji had personally come to receive him.
A Higher Dimension...
This guy definitely took human form because he was pursuing the path to godhood!
Only the path to godhood could possess such a fatal attraction for him!
And judging from the ferocious beasts' behavior, his chances of success are very high!
A sharp light flickered in Xiao Wu's eyes.
"Grandfather, did you understand? Why was Tang San's Blue Silver Grass so utterly powerless before Li Qinglian...?" Meng Yiran tugged at Meng Shu's sleeve.
"I don't understand it, and I can't make sense of what he said either. Perhaps Spirit Hall has come up with some new trick again."
Although Meng Shu did not understand much of it, he could sense that there was indeed a gap between Li Qinglian and Tang San. This gap was not one of cultivation, but of level.
The gap was like that between a Soul Saint capable of using a Martial Soul Avatar and a Soul Emperor unable to take that step. The distance seemed small, yet the difference was as vast as a chasm!
"Li Qinglian, what is a dimension?"
After pondering for a long time, Tang San could not help asking.
He knew.
If he could not even understand this concept, then comparing himself to Li Qinglian would be out of the question!
Since he, Tang San, had come to this world, how could he be willing to remain merely a second-rate genius!
For a moment, he even forgot about Xiao Wu.
Men only considered love after their careers were stable. When their careers ran into trouble, love naturally became less important. Tang San was clearly the most typical example of this kind of person.
"You defeated Meng Yiran with throwing knives just now. Tell me about that technique, as well as the methods you use to make those devices, and I'll tell you what a dimension is."
Li Qinglian stood with his hands on his hips.
Tang San's Hidden Weapons techniques were essentially a massive encyclopedia of mechanical knowledge.
A Soul Tool could be divided into two parts: soul guidance and tool.
The tool required exquisite mechanical structures...
And the principles of soul guidance were similar to electrical conduction in his previous life, except the form of energy had changed from electric current to Soul Power. Li Qinglian himself could already organize most of the principles behind soul guidance.
But mechanical knowledge was far too broad and complicated. Li Qinglian had no time to study it, so Tang San's complete guide to making Hidden Weapons was extremely important.
"I can't give them to you."
Tang San's face instantly turned deathly pale as he looked sharply at Li Qinglian.
Hidden Weapons were the most core possession of the Tang Sect.
The Tang Sect could exist without anything else, but it could not lose its Hidden Weapons.
Without the support of Hidden Weapons, was the Tang Sect still the Tang Sect?
