Under the action of the elixir and the Wood Spirit Art, the muscles and veins in the body were slowly repaired, and Cheng Ling's breath gradually stabilized. He managed to move his body, sat down cross-legged, and stared at the space barrier with bright eyes.
"No matter what, even if it takes several years, I still have to improve the artistic conception of space. Before, I could vaguely touch the threshold of the artistic conception of space when I understood the ultimate goal of mountains and rivers. Later, I realized 10% by using spatial crystallization."
"Shanshui Juesha and Jinghua Shuiyue are both swordsmanship techniques that integrate the artistic conception of space. However, the level of Jinghua, Shuiyue is too high and the spatial artistic conception is stronger, but it is difficult to find opportunities for improvement, so let's start with Shanshui Juesha."
After confirming the direction, continue to comprehend. The ultimate swordsmanship of mountains and rivers was obtained through his comprehension of the sword skills of Qingfeng Sword and Broken Cloud Sword. It covers four artistic conceptions: far, near, cloud, and illusion. However, far, near, and illusion are all "virtual" artistic conceptions. It is very difficult to comprehend. There is no direct understanding of the power of the artistic conception, only the cloud. The artistic conception was realized a long time ago.
Therefore, after he became a god, this sword skill gradually failed to keep up with his growth, and was replaced by second-grade sword skills such as Feng Lei Bian and Shen Lei Slay. However, the two artistic conceptions of far and near contained in the landscape painting can still be derived from the understanding of spatial artistic conception.
Space, in layman's terms, consists of several directions: up, down, left, right, front, back, far, near, etc. The deeper understanding of each direction can improve the understanding of the artistic conception of space.
The first six have not been in contact with each other in the past, and it will take longer to re-enlighten them, not to mention that the soul's carrying capacity is also limited. A monk cannot comprehend the power of artistic conception without limit, and must always make choices.
In his concept, through the knowledge recorded on the golden page, the nine artistic conceptions of the five elements, light, darkness, space, and time must be understood. What kind of spiritual qualifications does the body of chaos have? He is very much looking forward to it.
Therefore, the first choice for understanding the artistic conception of space is naturally to deepen the understanding of the two artistic conceptions, the far-reaching and the near, and these two artistic conceptions are derived from the understanding of mountains and rivers. Mountains and water are entities and are not difficult to comprehend, but distance and near are illusions, and each monk will not comprehend them the same way.
Seeing mountains as mountains and water as water is a manifestation of "nearness"; seeing mountains as not mountains and water as not water is a reflection of "distantness"; seeing mountains as mountains and water as water represents the intersection of far and near. , the end point where the two artistic conceptions are combined and consciousness takes the dominant position.
Far and near are relative and do not have a complete concept. The different sense of space reflected, the different sense of distance felt. This is the embodiment of the artistic conception of far and near, extending to the artistic conception of space.
The consciousness is immersed in it and constantly perceives the changes in space. It is a pity that although the Five Elements Land has rich aura, there are no soul-amplifying or spatial reference items to help improve it. Otherwise, with his understanding, he can easily touch the artistic conception of space.
Time passed slowly, and soon, three days passed. Cheng Ling was immersed in the comprehension of the artistic conception of space, when a burst of tears and joy filled his ears.
"Brother Ling!"
"Cheng Ling!"
"Boss!"
"Brother Cheng!"
"master!"
"metropolitan!"
Immediately afterwards, he felt the fragrant wind blowing over him, and his body was surrounded by three soft bodies. They are Xiyan, Gu Youlan and Bai Yiyi.
Xi Yan threw herself into his arms, her tears falling like pearls; Bai Yiyi's eyes filled with tears, and she hugged him tightly from behind; Gu Youlan grabbed his arm and hugged him to her chest without hesitation, her eyes filled with tears. It's also moist.
Three feet away from them, Liu Qingyan slowly shook her head and looked at them with a smile. Jian Ying's heroic laughter could be heard far away. Wu Chenlong, Zhang Hu, and Song Yingjie opened their mouths wide and could only giggle.
Cheng Ling's nose also felt sore, and she was moved in her heart. When she wanted to get up, she was surrounded by three women and couldn't move.
It’s the hardest to bear the kindness of a beauty, the scene in front of me is so refreshing
It felt good, but being stared at by so many people felt too awkward even though he was thick-skinned. He had no choice but to stretch out his remaining right hand and gently pat the three women.
He said to himself: "Okay! Okay! It's okay, I'm back now, be good, don't cry anymore!"
Liu Qingyan smiled, her tone sounded like coaxing a child. She didn't know that Cheng Ling was coaxing his wife like this on Earth.
After a long time, the three women calmed down, looked at each other, their faces turned red, and finally let him go.
Cheng Ling stood up slowly and asked, "How long have I been gone?"
Jian Yinghao said: "Brother Cheng, you have been missing for a year, and if there is no news, these three girls will all become hopeless. Hahaha...!"
When Xiyan heard this, she almost burst into tears again and asked, "Brother Ling, where have you been this year?"
Bai Yiyi's face turned red and she said angrily: "Brother Jian, you will talk nonsense about Wang Fu Stone. I just want him to take me to explore the secret realm...!"
Gu Youlan was even more embarrassed. Thinking of what she said on the sound transmission jade slip, she didn't know how to face it in the future.
Cheng Ling sighed, it was unbelievable that a year had passed outside for such a short time under the lake. Could it be that the passage of time in the two places is completely different, and at the bottom of the lake, the sound transmission jade slips cannot receive messages? What is going on?
He sorted out his thoughts and couldn't figure out the reason, so he put it down temporarily and said, "I didn't go anywhere, I was just looking for a way to leave under the ice."
"Under the ice? Where is that place?" Bai Yiyi asked curiously.
"The lake is below. It's so dark that you can't see anything. It's also very cold at the bottom of the lake. I advise you not to go in."
"You said you found a way to leave, what was that?" Liu Qingyan was mature after all, and she focused on the key points.
Cheng Ling then said: "Uncle Master, this space is a barrier. For some reason, we have entered it. To leave this place, we can only have a chance by finding the intersection of the space barrier."
"Then did you find it?"
"I found it, right here! You see, the ground here glows with light from time to time. This is the result of the transformation of the barrier space. It's just that the transformation speed is too fast, and there is only a pause time of three breaths, so it is impossible to catch it."
"so what should I do now?"
"The solution that can be thought of at present is to improve the artistic conception of space. Use the power of artistic conception to delay the time of space transformation, and then find a way to break the barrier, so that we can leave the Land of Five Elements."
"Is the defense of the space barrier strong? How to break it?"
"I just tested this. With my ultimate attack, I can break through the space barrier and it can last for up to three breaths. But if we gather the power of the nine of us, it may last longer."
Liu Qingyan nodded silently, and Jian Yinghao asked: "Brother Cheng, the defense of the space barrier here is very strong. Does the other places where the five elements meet have the same defense?"
Cheng Ling's eyes lit up, he really didn't expect this. Among the five elements, the land with the strongest defense must be the land of earth, followed by the land of water, followed by the land of wood, and the land with the weakest defense should be the land of fire and metal.
These two attributes have extremely strong attack power, but correspondingly, their defense power is much worse. He then said: "Yes, Brother Jian's reminder makes sense. Let's go to the land of fire and gold to have a look."
When everyone heard this, they all understood, and Liu Qingyan said: "The land of Jinxing is closest to here, let's go there first!"
Cheng Ling agreed, and they flew to the land of gold together.
On the way, Cheng Ling asked, "How are you making up for your Five Elements Spiritual Roots?"
Jian Yinghao said: "My Five Elements Spiritual Root has been replenished, Senior Liu should be close to it, right?"
"Yes, in another half month, the golden spiritual root will be full."
Gu Youlan and Bai Yiyi said at the same time: "We still lack the golden spiritual root."
"Brother Ling, I still have earth spiritual roots and golden spiritual roots that are not full."
"Boss, all I have left is the golden spiritual root!"
"Sect Master (Master), we have not enough earth spiritual roots and golden spiritual roots left."
Cheng Ling nodded slowly and said: "Then you should seize the time and try to supplement as much as possible while I understand the artistic conception of space. Also, the spiritual roots are bred and must be cultivated to meet the needs of multi-attribute true energy. Fortunately, this place is the center of the Five Elements. The earth and spiritual energy are also very rich, which is of great help to the cultivation of the Five Elements attributes."
"Remember, you must maintain the balance of the true energy between the multiple attributes, so that they can eventually be integrated together to form a whole. Only by practicing in the future can you get twice the result with half the effort."
Multi-attribute spiritual root monks can often exert greater power because their true essence attributes have changed and can accommodate five attributes of true essence. The higher the overall volume, the stronger the combat effectiveness displayed.
However, the situation of supplementing spiritual roots like the eight people is different. Monks with mixed spiritual roots must make several attributes go hand in hand at the beginning of their cultivation. Over time, their true essence attributes will stabilize without any changes.
However, they only completed the other four attributes in the state of distraction. The true essence attributes in the body were not uniform, and the power they exerted did not add much. There may even be an imbalance between the attributes. One of the attributes dominates the family, and the true energy is difficult to control. On the contrary, it is not as arbitrary as a single attribute.
This is like a bucket made up of five wooden boards. Only the five wooden boards are the same length and can carry more water. If one or the five pieces are of different lengths, even if the longest wooden board is taller than the other barrels, the amount of water it can carry will not be much higher.
Naturally, we all understand such a simple truth, but in practice, we often don’t realize that in the early stage, only cultivating for a single attribute will lead to an imbalance. In the later stage, we often pay double the price to make up for it. Cheng Ling’s reminder can be regarded as Very timely.
The nine people walked all the way, and after two days, they arrived at the junction of gold and water. Cheng Ling observed carefully and saw that the time required for space transformation here was the same as before, which was three breaths. The rest depends on the defensive power of the barrier.
Having had previous experience, he planned to take action himself. Heavenly Demon's Body Sacrifice Art, 80% Sword Intent, Divine Thunder Killing, 10% Sword Intention, and Maximum Infusion of Sword Essence. With all his strength, he struck the barrier hard with his sword.
The powerful attack pulls the air flow, as if the surrounding space is torn apart. Speed, attack power, and explosive power reach the limit.
There was a rumble, a loud noise, and the ground shook violently. The space barrier rippled from the center of the attack, and ripples spread out.
Jian Yinghao was shocked in his heart. This sword was so powerful, its speed and explosive power were astonishing. Is this his ultimate attack? If it were him, even if he could dodge, he would still be injured by the sword energy. His swordsmanship talent and progress are really amazing!
The powerful counter-shock force bounced Cheng Ling away again. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground slumped, but his consciousness was always paying attention to the changes in the barrier. Sure enough, the defense here is much worse than the water-wood junction. An inch-long hole was opened in the barrier, and the duration was increased to thirty breaths.
Everyone was surprised that such a powerful attack could only last for such a short time. Not only that, the powerful counter-shock force will also affect oneself. It is so difficult to stabilize the body and break out of the barrier within a limited time!
However, Cheng Ling became energetic and hurriedly stopped the secret technique, swallowed a few pills, and recovered with all his strength.
The defense of the land of gold is much weaker than that of the land of water, almost ten times. There is also no test in the land of fire. If the defense there is weaker than here, you will have greater confidence if you leave the space here!
