Thirty Years in the Blink of an Eye
In the midst of peace, Luo Feng's Star-level Powerhouse Honor Badge was exceptionally upgraded to a Five-Star Powerhouse by the Ice Prison King when he returned to the Ice Blood Fiendgod Citadel. Apart from Maddy occasionally coming to spar with him, Luo Feng really couldn't find any other fun in the Fiendgod Citadel. To a certain extent, he hadn't reached his peak and instead seemed a bit idle. Fortunately, Luo Feng's nature was to reach the peak, so he focused on cultivation in the days that followed.
"Ha, Maddy, although you have fused the Profound Mysteries of speed and slowness, your strength is not that great. On the contrary, I have fused the mysteries of Sound Waves and Profound Mysteries of Vocal Music, and my strength has increased many times over." Luo Feng fought with Maddy again, but he only used the fusion of the Profound Mysteries of the Laws of Sound Waves and Vocal Music. Maddy's Wind Element also fused the Profound Mysteries of speed and slowness.
Maddy smiled wryly, "Although I've fused the Profound Mysteries of speed and slowness, those are only intermediate-level Profound Mysteries. You, this Profound Mysteries, have fused the most bizarre and famous mysteries of Sound Waves and Profound Mysteries of Vocal Music among the High-level Profound Mystery of the Wind Element. Under the same conditions, of course I'm no match for you."
Luo Feng smiled and looked at Maddy, saying, "I really owe you a lot for explaining the Profound Mysteries of merging fast and slow to me during this time, and for sparring with me. I have already stepped into the realm of the Profound Mystery of Slow of the Laws of Wind. If I had to rely on the mysteries of Profound Mysteries of Speed to deduce things on my own, I don't know when I would have comprehended the Profound Mystery of Slow. It wouldn't have been this fast."
Maddy waved his hand. "No need to thank me. If you hadn't explained the profound mysteries of the Profound Mysteries of the Laws and the levels of fusion to me, I would have been completely clueless. Speaking of which, you know more about them than my uncle does."
Since the end of the battle in the City of Slaughter, Luo Feng and Maddy had developed a complex relationship that was both adversarial and friendly. Maddy then challenged him to a duel on Laws of Wind. Over time, although McGrady always ended up getting thoroughly thrashed, he also gained a great deal from the Wind Element. Maddy generously shared his process and principles of fusing fast and slow Profound Mysteries -elemental techniques with Luo Feng. Luo Feng, naturally not one to take advantage of others, shared his understanding of other Profound Mysteries -Laws of Wind, including the Sound Waves Profound Mysteries of Vocal Music he had fused with his own.
Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Luo Feng was plucking the strings of his zither in the courtyard, while his other three Divine Clone were all cultivating. Luo Feng's mastery of the Profound Mystery of Slow was nearing completion. With a Profound Mysteries of Speed Wind Divine Clone like Maddy, who had integrated the profound mysteries of Profound Mystery of Slow, Luo Feng was constantly sparring with Maddy, constantly verifying and deducing, and his comprehension speed was countless times faster.
In just thirty years, he has almost mastered it, and has even begun to fuse the mysteries of Profound Mysteries of Speed and Profound Mystery of Slow, though he has no clue how yet. In his repeated battles with Maddy, Luo Feng Luo Feng has deeply felt the power of the fusion of the mysteries of speed and Profound Mysteries. In fact, there is no use in being taught by others to fuse them; one must rely on oneself. So, all that can be said for now is that Luo Feng has a strong feeling about the power of the fusion of speed and slowness. Although he has no clue how, the fact that he has comprehended four Profound Mysteries of the Laws and fused three Profound Mysteries of the Laws in such a short time is a testament to Luo Feng high level of comprehension and spirituality.
On the path to becoming a strong person, aptitude and talent seem less important. Even those with the body of a divine beast, who are called geniuses and achieve the status of Lowgod in ten years, Midgod a hundred years, or Highgod in a thousand years, may not necessarily become top-tier powerhouses. In the original work, there are many powerhouses with the body of divine beasts, and even more so, such as Beirut, who is comparable to Paragon High-God, but he is never truly at the Paragon. Good talent and good bloodline are not the main factors; the most important factors are a person's spirituality and comprehension.
While talent might help in comprehending laws—for example, divine beasts can comprehend laws and become Lowgod upon reaching maturity—it certainly aids in the comprehension of laws. However, Fusion Law has absolutely nothing to do with talent or bloodline; it relies entirely on comprehension. Who is Bluefire in the original story? He is an indigenous person of the Yulan Continent, with a bloodline vastly different from Beirut's, yet Bluefire achieved the Paragon through sheer willpower. This is comprehension.
Therefore, although Luo Feng's bloodline and talent are not top-notch, his comprehension is definitely among the best. With the Startling Cloud Zither assisting him, and considering the influence of music in Luo Feng's previous life—music can cleanse the soul, make the mind more in harmony with heaven and earth, and make it easier to enter a state of selflessness—his understanding of things is naturally twice as effective. Coupled with Luo Feng's own top-notch comprehension, this has created the Luo Feng we know today, who has integrated the profound mysteries of three Profound Mysteries of the Laws over two hundred years.
As he plucked the strings, scenes from the past few years flashed through Luo Feng's mind: his exile to Gebados Prison, his perilous situation, his despair, his escape from despair, and his peaceful yet fulfilling life after integrating the Profound Mysteries of the Laws. His mind cleared instantly.
A sudden realization, yet another sudden realization.
"Boom!"
A Azure Light burst forth in Luo Feng's mind, instantly Azure Light into the sun and illuminating his entire mind.
Luo Feng raised his hand, which had been playing the strings, into the air, and sat there motionless, even closing his eyes. He had suddenly realized something and broken through!
The Profound Mystery of Slow the Laws of Wind have been perfected.
At the very beginning of enlightenment, the speed of comprehension is astonishing, advancing by leaps and bounds with overwhelming force. Luo Feng often plays the zither, and in a state of complete absorption, he is most likely to enter into enlightenment. Therefore, Luo Feng has indeed found a shortcut to cultivation.
The Profound Mysteries of the Laws. In the initial stages of understanding them, the difficulty of integrating them is relatively low. It's like a large tree: when it's just growing, if you make it bend, it will naturally become a bent tree when it's fully grown. But if the tree has already grown, it's difficult to make it bend naturally again.
Therefore, Luo Feng was never in a hurry to become Highgod as soon as possible. He only sought to integrate the profound Profound Mysteries step by step, so that when he became Highgod, this tree would grow into a towering tree.
"This fusion is even more difficult than entering the realm of a Profound Mysteries," Luo Feng said, shaking his head in frustration. "Fortunately, I've grasped the mysteries of speed and Profound Mystery of Slow, as well as the mysteries of Sound Waves and Profound Mysteries of Vocal Music. They have commonalities, so I can slowly deduce them myself, making the fusion relatively easier. Otherwise, Paragon High-God wouldn't have been so rare over the countless years."
Luo Feng smiled calmly, "Life in the Fiendgod Citadel is too monotonous. We've reached a bottleneck, and it's difficult to advance further unless we can integrate the Profound Mystery of Slow into those three Profound Mysteries. However, it seems too difficult. After so many years of secluded cultivation, it's time to go out and explore." When reading the original Coiling Dragon novel, Luo Feng had wondered what kind of plane Gebados Prison was, and he was curious about Gebados. However, he had always been struggling to survive, and staying alive was the priority. He hadn't thought about taking the time to explore.
"Ace, you guys come here." Luo Feng said softly in the courtyard.
Speaking of Ace and the others, over the years they've followed Luo Feng, everyone has made some progress. Take Ace, for example; he originally comprehended three Wind Element Profound Mysteries, but now he's comprehended five. Adkins and Shali have both become Midgod. Without the constant fighting, they often listen to Luo Feng's music, and their hearts resonate with each other to some extent. They were already at the peak of the Lowgod, so becoming Midgod isn't anything special. The main problem is that Ian has actually surpassed his brothers in strength, becoming Midgod, second only to Ace, and even reaching the level of a one-star expert on the Blood Battle Platform.
"Back then, you followed me only seeking a peaceful life. Now, Ace, Ian, and Shali, you've all reached the level of Midgod, and you've established a foothold in the Fiendgod Citadel. I'm relieved. I'm preparing to leave the Fiendgod Citadel now. My strength has reached a bottleneck, and I want to travel around. You can stay here and live in peace." Luo Feng was deeply moved when he saw Ace and the others come to his courtyard. They had been by his side for over sixty years, and now that he was leaving, he felt a little sad.
Without a second thought, Ace knelt down and said, "My lord, what are you saying? If it weren't for you, we might still be living in constant fear in that Ice Prison, or even worse, we would have been reduced to dust long ago. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be where we are today. Since you are leaving, we will naturally follow you. Even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire behind you, we will jump down with you."
The sixth brother Ian, said with a grin, "My lord, look at me now. Ian is a one-star expert. If it weren't for you, my lord, we wouldn't be where we are today. Besides, my lord, by following you, how many good things can we pick up that you don't want? How can we leave you?"
The most taciturn of the burly men, Shali, said, "Sir, we only ask to stay by your side. We know you want us to live a comfortable life, but to be honest, we like to stay by your side and face those unknown hardships."
Luo Feng was overwhelmed with thoughts. He stood up, said nothing more, and laughed, "That makes me seem pretentious. Alright, if you want to come, then come. Tomorrow you'll come with me to see the other cities of Gebados Prison."
