At those words, Chen Qingyu was delighted and said repeatedly:
"Cousin, how generous!"
He had only asked in passing and had never expected Chen Qinggu to be able to explain everything.
He had not expected Chen Qinggu to be so generous, willing to teach him all the mysteries of primal magnetism he had comprehended.
"Hahaha!"
Chen Qinggu laughed freely.
"Shaojun, my younger cousin, your future is boundless. Your upper limit far exceeds mine."
"I only hope these mysteries of primal magnetism I have comprehended can someday help you defeat Zhou Chenlong and ascend to the divine pedestal of [Blood Sea Heaven]."
"Rest assured, cousin."
Chen Qingyu laughed.
"My next goal is to defeat Zhou Chenlong."
"I believe these mysteries you have comprehended will certainly come in handy."
Chen Qinggu smiled, then turned and called out:
"Waiter, bring us a lamp."
"Coming right up!"
The waiter beside them said with a cheerful smile:
"Please wait a moment, sir."
Soon, the waiter brought an exquisite lotus lamp and set it on the table.
"Shaojun, watch closely."
Chen Qinggu smiled slightly and extended a finger. Specks of pale blue True Qi emerged from his fingertip as he pointed it toward the lotus lamp.
When the wick of the lotus lamp touched the Star True Qi, it actually ignited out of thin air, producing a small, deep blue flame.
"This?!"
Chen Qingyu's expression shifted.
He studied the deep blue flame before him closely. Seeing the dim starlight radiating around it, he had a sudden flash of inspiration and blurted out:
"Light! It's starlight!"
"Exactly!"
Chen Qinggu laughed and praised him:
"Shaojun, your comprehension truly is astonishing."
"The reason I can freely manipulate the power of Earth Star Primal Magnetism and fly through the sky at will is this method of converting starlight."
As he spoke, he paused before continuing leisurely:
"All the cultivation methods of our Chen Clan were born from the power of the stars."
"And the most common manifestation of stellar power is actually the starlight from the sea of stars in the night sky."
"Starlight itself is light, but it is also one of the countless kinds of primal Qi. It is a source of True Qi, as well as a manifestation of primal magnetic force."
"Starlight is primal magnetism, and primal magnetism is starlight!"
Hearing this, Chen Qingyu could not help but marvel:
"Cousin, your thinking truly gallops like a heavenly steed across the sky. To think you could comprehend mysteries like these."
At that moment, he finally understood:
Why, in their earlier battle, Chen Qinggu had been able to reverse primal magnetism and fly at will with such incredible agility;
Yet when he had activated the "Celestial Star Attraction Method" and tried to reverse primal magnetism, the point his senses reached had been empty, leaving him unable to exert any force.
It was simply because Chen Qinggu had relied on converting starlight into primal magnetism, while he had failed to comprehend this aspect and had not even known such a method existed.
"Shaojun, listen carefully..."
Chen Qinggu lowered his voice and explained at length how to sense, manipulate, and convert starlight and primal magnetism, along with all the various details.
Chen Qingyu held his breath and focused, silently committing everything to memory.
With Chen Qinggu's selfless instruction, he would only need to practice diligently for a while after returning to integrate everything and fully master these mysteries of primal magnetism.
When that happened, his combat strength would rise another level!
A short while later:
Chen Qinggu finished explaining the mysteries and said with a sigh:
"Shaojun, if you want to defeat Zhou Chenlong, you must make haste."
Chen Qingyu's expression shifted at those words.
"Cousin, you mean..."
Chen Qinggu sighed.
"Two years ago, Zhou Chenlong cleared the eighth floor and ascended to the divine pedestal. He could be called invincible within the Blood Sea Realm."
"The reason he still remains in [Blood Sea Heaven] is actually to clear the [ninth floor] of the War God Tower and truly create a legend for this era."
"But..."
He shook his head.
"The ninth floor is far more terrifyingly difficult than the eighth. He has been stuck on the ninth floor for two whole years without clearing it."
"He possesses peerless talent. He won't tolerate standing still forever."
"If he truly has no way to clear the ninth floor, he will definitely break through directly to the Golden Bridge Realm and head to [Golden Bridge Heaven]."
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Qingyu.
"When that happens, even if you still want to defeat him, you will no longer have the chance."
Hearing this, Chen Qingyu nodded.
"I understand..."
A short while later.
The two left the Moon-Gaining Tower and said their farewells at the entrance before going their separate ways.
Chen Qinggu left the Supreme Void Dao Realm and returned to the real world to cultivate diligently in seclusion, striving to break through to the Golden Bridge Realm as soon as possible.
Chen Qingyu, meanwhile, logged off and had lunch before returning to the [Martial Practice Hall] to train hard in his three supreme martial techniques and continue improving his strength.
Not until dusk:
Did he leave the Supreme Void Dao Realm, eat dinner, and hone his martial techniques in his family's Martial Practice Ground, fully digesting everything he had gained that day.
And meanwhile-
The sensation caused by his taking first place on both rankings and replacing Chen Qinggu had long since spread throughout the Desolate Continent, stirring up quite a few waves.
Among them, two little girls in the Heavenly Crystal Ancestral Court and the East Sea Crystal Palace were extremely displeased that he had avoided fighting them and angrily cursed him as a coward.
But Chen Qingyu could not be bothered with any of these outside storms.
He simply devoted himself wholeheartedly to practicing his martial techniques, improving his strength, and advancing toward his next goal.
In the blink of an eye:
Three full days of this peaceful life had passed.
On the morning three days later:
Riding an auspicious cloud, Chen Qingyu watched the nine layers of golden astral winds before him automatically part to reveal a passage.
This is already the ninth time.
Chen Qinggu's expression was calm as thoughts surged through his mind:
I wonder what divine ability I'll obtain this time?
On the previous two mornings, he had arrived at the Floating Heavenly Palace on time to check in, obtaining the two divine abilities [Seeing Through Walls] and [Summoning Wind and Rain], respectively.
Both divine abilities were likewise among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations.
Of these, [Seeing Through Walls], put simply, allowed him to see through walls.
Of course:
As a great divine ability ranked among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations, the true power and wondrous applications of [Seeing Through Walls] were beyond comparison with ordinary sight-penetrating spells.
Cultivated to its pinnacle, this divine ability could grant penetrating sight into all things and a seated view of the ten directions; nothing in heaven or beneath the earth could obstruct it.
Sitting at home, one could use this divine ability to observe every sight throughout the nine heavens and ten lands, the eight wildernesses and six directions, ignoring all obstructions and missing not the slightest detail. It far surpassed the Buddhist Divine Eye.
At his current stage, however, when Chen Qingyu used it with his strength, its effects differed little from those of a sight-penetrating spell.
Next was [Summoning Wind and Rain].
This divine ability was not an offensive art, but a method of commanding wind and summoning rain. It could gather clouds and spread rain, safeguarding a region with favorable winds and timely rainfall, leaning toward support.
Its only standout feature was its enormous range.
Even with Chen Qingyu's current Blood Sea Realm cultivation, using [Summoning Wind and Rain] could cover a radius of ten li, far exceeding [Flying Sand and Moving Stones].
[Seeing Through Walls] has decent potential.
But for me right now, the usefulness of [Summoning Wind and Rain] is practically negligible.
A trace of irritation arose in Chen Qingyu's heart:
I've already drawn eight great divine abilities in a row. The Floating Heavenly Palace's prize pool will run dry sooner or later!
If I can't draw a stronger offensive art before then, defeating Zhou Chenlong will be far too difficult!
