Episode 8: A Journey of Ten Thousand Miles Chapter 56 – Magic Crystal Nuclei

“Where there’s wind, swords can appear!”

Hearing this, McKensie’s heart was also trembling, if he had heard this when he hadn’t fought Linley, McKensie would have thought that the other party was boasting. But he had just felt it, that terrifying sword speed had been ten times a hundred times faster than him.

He was unable to counteract it and could only use his Dou Qi Shield to defend himself.

To be able to force him to this point, McKensie had lost with conviction.

“Linley, you said merging into the wind, this, I still can’t understand.”

McKensie frowned.

Linley didn’t hide it and said with a smile, “McKensie, you have to know that the wind is essentially formless and faceless, and can be as swift as rushing thunder, or as slow as stillness. My Wind Upanishad is actually a small part of what I’ve gained from comprehending the laws of the wind element.”

“Laws ah.”

McKensie’s eyes were filled with admiration, “That is supreme.”

The major elemental laws were just too esoteric. In fact, one only needed to comprehend a sufficiently large portion of them, and the soul would be able to fully come into contact with the ‘elemental worlds’, and that would lead to obtaining a godly frame and stepping into the divine realm.

And nowadays, Linley was only at the edge of the Laws.

Whether it was the ‘Earth Upanishad’ or the ‘Wind Upanishad’ it was just a dipper of water in the boundless ocean of laws.

“Integrating into the wind, my sword can appear anywhere in the wind. However, this method requires a particularly high level of material for the sword itself. It’s because the sword itself is under a great deal of stress during that near-instantaneous shuttling.”

Linley bristled, “If this move has no requirements for material, then wouldn’t I myself be able to instantly move?”

Linley could indeed merge himself into the wind, but his own body. It simply couldn’t withstand the speed of a near-instantaneous movement.

“Haha, instantaneous movement, that’s something even a god-level expert can’t do, right?”

McKensie lamented.

No matter how powerful an expert was. Even an existence such as a Martial God would at most be as fast as lightning. It was also impossible to instantly move. Although there was the expression ‘instantaneous movement’, it was only spread by some weak people who saw some Saint Domain powerhouses fighting.

The movement speed of the Holy Realm powerhouses was so fast that those ordinary people just felt that the Holy Realm powerhouses were here for a while and there for a while, so they thought that it was an instantaneous movement.

In fact, this instantaneous transfer does not exist at all.

Perhaps it existed, but at least Martial Gods of this level couldn’t do it yet.

“McKensie. What happened to that attack of yours again? Just now, I couldn’t feel your aura at all. I felt as if the countless gun shadows around me were all real.”

Linley also looked at McKensie in confusion.

The exchanges of Saint realm powerhouses would indeed promote each other’s progress, and Linley certainly wouldn’t want to save face by not inquiring.

McKensie laughed, “Actually, this method of attack of mine is relatively popular. It’s what peak Saint realm powerhouses generally do.”

“Eh?”

Linley looked at McKensie in surprise.

“Back then, the Martial God fought the High Priestess. Many powerhouses saw how terrifying the divine realm was. And afterward, many Saint realm powerhouses wanted to be able to create an attack of their own that would achieve the effects of the divine realm. In fact, the kind of attack I just did is even a ‘pseudo domain’ attack.”

McKensie said with a self-deprecating smile.

Linley continued to look at McKensie.

What Linley wanted was the principle of this attack.

“Actually, this attack is very extravagant.”

McKensie lamented, “For example, I took the path of comprehending the ‘Laws of the Fire Element’.”

Saint realm powerhouses. All walk the path of comprehending the Law Grounds. It was just a matter of comprehending different things.

“This move, ‘Pseudo Domain’, is to completely explode the stored up Dou Qi in a split second, while detonating all the surrounding fire elements at the same time. Causing a sea of flames to fill a hundred meter radius in a split second. Because my fighting qi is also integrated into the fire element, this makes the entire ocean of flames contain my breath. This is also the reason why you can’t recognize my true body.”

“I can control my surroundings to form various attacks while I’m hidden in the ocean of flames. Just now, I used my other fighting aura to form an attack while I myself was sneaking in from behind.”

“It’s just that my control isn’t enough. I can only control the fighting qi and elements to form one move attack, if I can make all the other gun shadows form a solid attack. You’d be in big trouble.”

McKensie laughed.

Linley understood somewhat.

The principle of this move was simple. The difficulty lay in the control of the elements.

For example, ‘potential’ was merely a means of utilizing the momentum of heaven and earth. However, the ‘pseudo domain’ was different, it was entirely about control! Generally to control the elements within a space. Saint realms simply couldn’t do it. That was something only a God-level expert could do.

But Saint Domain experts were also smart. They completely erupted a large amount of fighting qi, and their fighting qi and the elements were completely fitted together, and their fighting qi indirectly controlled the elements. Although they consumed a large amount of fighting qi. But they could barely form a ‘pseudo domain’.

But even so, to control the elements, it was still far inferior to the ‘divine domain’.

Linley had felt it for himself, that the King of Killers, ‘Hisser’, with his God’s Domain, had instantly immobilized Linley as well as the peak Saint realm powerhouse, Steller, who couldn’t even move.

That kind of elemental control was simply terrifyingly strong.

Compared to that, the ‘pseudo domain’ was much weaker.

“This pseudo domain, too, has its advantages. Although it consumes a large amount of Dou Qi. However, as long as the realm is high, it can form millions of attacks in an instant. And it can also hide where the body is, and is even more powerful than my ‘Windstorm Movement’, the only weakness is that it consumes too much Dou Qi and wastes too much.”

But in an instant, Linley shook his head.

“This is merely a sneaky attack created by borrowing from the ‘God’s Domain’. Although it also tests one’s control over the elements. But for the comprehension of the laws themselves, it’s almost non-existent.”

Linley believed in his heart that this was only a partial path, not the right path.

Earth, fire, water, wind, and other various laws, such as the Earth Elemental Law.

A perfect elemental law was like a perfect building. And every brick and tile of this building is a law of the arcane. A law was made up of the ‘arcana’ of the Universe.

When Linley comprehended one, he created the vibration wave attack. This should be considered one of the more superior of the many arcane mysteries of the Earth Elemental Laws.

After a battle, both Linley and MacKenzie’s clothes were tattered, but of course Linley only had tattered pants. The duo changed their clothes. Talking and laughing, they left.

“Squeaky Bebe was on Linley’s shoulder and was able to grimace at McKensie next to him. It seemed to make fun of McKensie for losing.

“This little thing, really ……”

McKensie was dumbfounded.

Linley also laughed. Bebe was also listening to Linley’s instructions not to display its holy domain abilities in front of the outside. Unless it came to a moment of necessity, Bebe, the bottom card, Linley would display it.

Under the bright moonlight, these two great Saint Realm powerhouses talked and laughed all the way to the provincial city of Bazil. ……

The next morning, no matter how much McKensie retained him, Linley still decided to set off for the imperial capital. There was no way around it, and McKensie sent him off all the way, surprisingly sending him off for a hundred miles. In the evening, the group arrived at the mouth of the Yulan River bank.

McKensie had long ago sent people and prepared a three-story building boat at the mouth of the Yulan River bank.

“Brother McKensie, there’s no need to send it again.”

Linley’s relationship with McKensie was also very good nowadays, and this McKensie had even sent a hundred miles each way until and the Yulan River bank. Treating himself so well. How could Linley not be grateful?

“Linley brother, I really hate to get together with you for a few more months, but you’re in a hurry to get together with your brother, so I can’t afford to stay any longer.”

McKensie solemnly said, “Brother Linley, take care all the way.”

Under McKensie’s gaze. Linley’s group of people boarded this building ship, and then followed the waves of the Yulan River, flowing straight downstream, directly towards the south.

The Yulan River was extremely wide, its waters vast.

This building ship was much better than the one Linley had rented last time, and the level of the crew’s sailors was much higher, so although it was also traveling downstream with the same current as the last time, this time the ship traveled at a significantly faster speed.

“This is the Yulan River. It’s really big.”

The five Barker brothers also stood in front of the chains, looking at the turbulent river. Their eyes were also glowing.

The five Barker brothers were from the eighteen principalities of the Northern Domain. They were used to seeing icy scenes, but they had never seen such a large river.

Sisters Rebecca and Lina were equally excited. Jenny was also talking to them about the Yulan River.

And at the moment, the two magical beasts, Bebe and Heilu, were instead communicating with low growls.

Linley knew that ever since Bebe had reached the Sacred Realm, Blackru had been even more unable to raise his head in front of Bebe. Blackru was, after all, a peak level nine magical beast that had been used to being proud in the past. But now, it was struck to death by Bebe.

“Heilu, come with me.”

Linley glanced at Heilu and directly entered the second floor of the building ship, and Bebe and Heilu immediately followed. There was no one else in the second floor of this building ship today.

“Boss, why did you let Blackru come over?”

Bebe inquired out loud at this time, when there were outsiders, Bebe didn’t dare to speak. Now it was natural to speak properly, Bebe actually enjoyed speaking human language.

Heilu’s pair of ghostly cold ground pupils also looked at Linley in confusion.

He didn’t know what Linley, the master, was looking for him for.

“Heilu, didn’t you and Bebe, at first, both want that Darkness-type Holy Realm Demon Crystal Core?”

Linley said with a smile.

As soon as Linley said this sentence, the clever Heilu had already guessed what Linley was up to, and his eyes instantly lit up.

“Boss, you’re going to give that Saint Realm Demon Crystal Core to Heilu?”

Bebe guessed it as well.

“What, do you object?”

Linley looked over at Bebe.

Bebe shook his little head cheerfully, glancing at Heilu, who was looking at him pitifully, and playfully said, “Of course I don’t object, although Heilu is a bit arrogant sometimes, he’s not bad. He’ll be hanging out with me in the future, I’m a Saint Realm Magical Beast, if he’s too weak, I’ll lose face ah.”

Linley couldn’t help but laugh dumbly as he listened.

“Alright. Heilu, after you eat this Saint realm magic crystal core, stay in your room. I won’t let anyone disturb you.”

With a flip of his hand, Linley took out the Dark Sanctuary Demon Crystal Core that he had obtained back then.

Recalling his youthful self, he saw the gut-wrenching scene of the Spineback Ironclad Dragon fighting the Holy Realm Purple Striped Black Bear. He couldn’t help but secretly sigh.

Time is like flowing water, nowadays, I am afraid that when I face the Spineback Iron Armored Dragon and the Holy Realm Purple Black Bear at the same time, I have the strength to fight against them. And the self of that year could only hide in the distance.

“Bei Bei, you also go into the Black Ru room. You’ll watch from the side for me, and if anything important happens while Heilu is in the middle of his breakthrough, let me know immediately.”

Linley was also worried that something would happen to Heilu if he ate this Saint Realm Demon Crystal Core.

“Got it, boss.”

Bebe raised his chest and answered the order.

Linley threw the Dark Sanctuary Demon Crystal Core to Blacklue, who, with his mouth open, first titled it in his mouth and glanced gratefully at Linley. With Blacklue’s intelligence, he understood the value of a Sanctuary Magic Crystal Core, and the probability of him breaking through by eating a Sanctuary Magic Crystal Core wasn’t one hundred percent, and there was still a possibility that he would fail.

But Linley still gave it the Holy Realm Magic Crystal Core.

“I hope Heilu doesn’t let me down.”

Watching Heilu and Bei Bei enter that separate room, Linley sighed in his heart before walking back out onto the deck to admire the waves of the Yulan River.

The building ship was still moving through the Yulan River as quickly as it had earlier, while the black-striped clouded leopard ‘Heilu’ had begun its sprint towards the Sacred Realm.
