Chen Zhiyuan paid no mind to He Xiuyuan's loss of composure.
Only after He Xiuyuan had calmed down a little did Chen Zhiyuan say, "Although we called you the benchmark, you're still a genius. Haven't you noticed anything different since entering this Star Sea Secret Realm?"
He Xiuyuan shook his head. "No. Mainly because I've been killing people from the Star-Devouring Clan ever since I came in. Where would I find time to sense anything?"
Hearing that, Chen Zhiyuan finally understood.
Then Chen Zhiyuan shared his first discovery.
The rules of heaven and earth in this secret realm were exceptionally clear.
They weren't like those of the Hongmeng World, which were rather like flowers seen through mist.
The reason Chen Zhiyuan had become so formidable, even achieving a major breakthrough in his talent for formations, was that he had used this world's laws as a reference to begin correcting aspects of his own Dao fruit.
But he had not corrected it completely.
Chen Zhiyuan's foundation had not changed.
He had merely used this world's complete laws as a reference against which to compare his own Dao fruit.
That clarified how he should proceed along the road ahead.
Moreover, Chen Zhiyuan explicitly told He Xiuyuan that he must not change his own Dao just because this world's laws were exceptionally clear.
Instead, he had to use this world's laws as a reference to understand his own Dao.
Although doing so would not bring his own laws to perfection.
They were still founded on the Hongmeng World. Even if they remained imperfect, the increase in strength was enough to astonish anyone.
He Xiuyuan could indeed tell that Chen Zhiyuan was not mocking him. Rather, he was genuinely sharing what he had comprehended.
He Xiuyuan immediately sat cross-legged and began contemplating.
Sure enough.
