Chapter 768 - 768: Law 719: Part 2

Everything was destroyed.

However, Ling and a few members of the Dragon Race opened a nearby spatial channel and arrived on a new planet.

While sympathizing with Ling's plight, Zhang Rongfang took the opportunity to raise his own questions.

"Elder Ling, essentially, my physical cultivation has reached an extreme pinnacle. But in terms of consciousness and spirit, I just can't break through to a higher level."

Zhang Rongfang carefully described the martial arts realms of Entering the Microcosm and other transformations to Ling.

"This is the classification of the Spirit Eye Race, very classical levels of martial arts realms. You are now stuck at Entering the Microcosm, unable to progress further, and the reason is actually quite simple," Ling said casually.

"Your spiritual consciousness is not strong enough, nor stable enough. Such highly refined segmentation requires an extremely stable spirit and consciousness, and a sufficiently powerful supply of consciousness, both of which you lack."

"Then, may I ask the elder, how can one effectively enhance their spiritual consciousness?" Zhang Rongfang inquired earnestly.

"Why should I teach you? You're neither my student nor related to me." Ling countered.

"Disciple Rongfang greets Spirit Master!" Zhang Rongfang, without hesitation, immediately bowed in respect.

"If Spirit Master generously imparts knowledge, I vow to do my best to rescue you from this space."

"....." Ling was momentarily taken aback.

Usually, those who reach the Entering the Microcosm realm are proud individuals with a sky-high sense of self-respect.

Even those who appear gentle inevitably possess a deep-seated arrogance.

But this one...

"Spirit Master need not worry, disciple has mastered the art of flesh regeneration to such an extent that crafting a body suitable for you is not difficult," Zhang Rongfang promised confidently.

"I am just a fragment of consciousness. What use is there in leaving? It's meaningless," Ling paused for a moment and replied.

"There is no fixed method for cultivation; the most suitable way is the one you comprehend yourself. But I can tell you what the key to Entering the Microcosm is."

"Please, Spirit Master, enlighten me!" Zhang Rongfang was overjoyed.

After being defeated by Long several times, his desire to reach the Entering the Microcosm realm was intense.

In terms of power types and quantity, he had long been sufficient.

But because he could not reach Entering the Microcosm, the same strength, when wielded by Long, required him to use at least a hundredfold, or even more, to form a tsunami-like intensity to counter Long's offensive.

This was the root of his quick defeat in confrontations with Long.

Essentially, the bloodline abilities he gained were strong, but his mastery level was far deficient.

"As you said, Long follows the path of countless divided focuses, instantly splitting innumerable consciousness to control power offensively and defensively, which you... cannot do, right?" Ling asked.

"Indeed... my consciousness and spirit are indeed weak," Zhang Rongfang nodded seriously.

Before crossing over, he was just an ordinary person. Even with countless experiences and trials in this world, compared to old monstrous beings like Long, the gap was naturally huge.

"To reach Entering the Microcosm, you first need to purify your consciousness. The so-called consolidating thoughts into threads requires you to divide your consciousness finely enough," Ling replied.

"May I ask Spirit Master, how to consolidate thoughts?" Zhang Rongfang respectfully pursued.

"Your consciousness is extremely chaotic, with many components," Ling said, "The so-called consciousness is closely related to the flesh itself; it is formed by the aggregation of countless tiny flesh consciousnesses. Thus, spirit and flesh inevitably influence each other, which no individual can avoid. With such a chaotic consciousness, your body is evidently chaotic too..."

Having lived for so long, Ling had indeed never seen such a chaotic patchwork consciousness.

"It was for survival, I had no other choice," Zhang Rongfang sighed.

"The direction you have to take now has two paths; you choose," Ling, rarely encountering someone to talk to, generously guided.

"One is to select one characteristic and abandon everything else, purifying both consciousness and body."

Isn't this just abandoning all other bloodlines except one, then purifying it intensely?

Zhang Rongfang immediately understood, his brows slightly furrowed.

"What's the second option?" He asked respectfully.

"The second is to comprehend a path that can include all your characteristics and accommodate all your chaotic consciousness. This path is much more difficult than the first. After all, the first one is ready, you just need to follow it.

But the second requires you to create something from nothing, to forge a unique path suitable for yourself," Ling explained.

"Then, can the yin and yang dual method be applied?" Zhang Rongfang pondered for a moment and asked.

"The yin and yang theory of the Daoist school can accommodate your situation, but that requires reaching yin-yang balance, and with your current state... it won't balance without a thousand years of refinement," Ling sighed, "but it's a thought."

"You also understand Daoism?" Zhang Rongfang exclaimed in surprise.

"High-level consciousnesses have been here before you; I know more than you might think," Ling replied.

"With Spirit Master's vast knowledge and experience, can't you guide me to a somewhat nearer path?" Zhang Rongfang earnestly requested.

"Your chaotic state is miraculous enough to be alive. I'm afraid I can't help," Ling pondered momentarily.

"Well, since you can't leave, you can ask the two stone steps ahead; they might have a solution."

"Do those two steps ahead also have powerful consciousnesses like yours?" Zhang Rongfang's eyes lit up, his heart stirring.

"Naturally, they do. One is called Dao and the other Yuan, both slightly stronger than me, especially Yuan, who is just one step shy of entering the Daoist school. Unfortunately..." Ling mused nostalgically about the two.

"Disciple shall soon pay respects to them. But if I go now, wouldn't approaching the Daoist school..."

"You overthink. Without the awareness level, even if you're thrown into the Daoist school, you wouldn't touch it. The door you see is there, but its essence is not, it's within your heart," Ling solemnly replied.

"Understood... disciple understands now," Zhang Rongfang immediately spread his wings and headed towards the second stone step.

But at this moment, a huge pull suddenly enveloped him from behind.

"Blood King, it's time for you to come out. There were many misunderstandings before; perhaps we should have a good talk face to face..."

Nabux's voice echoed again.

"Wait!" Zhang Rongfang panicked; he might be able to get the answers from the other two steps.

But just at this moment...

"I will wait... then!!" Before his words finished, a blinding blue light instantly enveloped him.

With a sizzle, the blue light dissipated, and Zhang Rongfang had disappeared from the original location.
