Chapter 36 - The Mysterious Truths (1/2)

...

”In the world of cultivators, the strong understand the Dao, the mighty can manipulate the Dao, and the supreme can...create their own Dao!”

The three simple phrases were words that had taken the human race countless millennia to learn, and even more, millennia to comprehend. Will knew that he had received the most valuable gift he has ever received; these words were far more valuable than any weapon, technique or ability.

They seemed simple, yet they were incredibly profound, so profound that Will completely lost his sense of conscious and sat down on the spot cross-legged. He immediately began to meditate on those words.

Sebastian was speechless, he knew the true value of these words, and he knew that they were only valued by the most acute and the most talented of martial artists. Sages would meditate for centuries and glean nothing from these words, monks would cleanse their minds with mantras just get a glimpse at the grandest understanding of the Dao, high immortals would even trade their never-ending lives just to gain a slight chance at seeing the doors that lead to the secrets of the universe. And yet, despite all of this, almost all of them would fail to understand the incredibly deep and profound truth within these three phrases.

Yet here, in front of him, a young man who had slightly above average talent in terms of his body, an ordinary physique, and a ridiculously foul mind was able to attain an insight into these words. Even more shocking was that he did not hesitate to meditate in front of The King of Titans! A man who had razed continents just because they pronounced his name wrong, outrageous!

Modus was laughing like a lunatic within his room, while Adelda was speechless. Her mouth would open and close at random intervals yet no words came out. Sebastian shook his head and sat on the ground, waiting for the young man to gain his insight. Even if he was the King of Titans, Modus was Modus, and interrupting an insight being gained by Modus' disciple was courting death, even for him.

A few days passed, and Will eventually opened his eyes. His face was stunned as he got out of his stupor. ”What...just happened?”

”I don't know young man, you tell me. Exactly, what insights did you gain?”

Will knew that there was no way to put what he had just gone through into words. Thus, he could only scratch his head shyly when questioned by Sebastian.

”Ha-ha, don't worry young man; as long as it was productive, I am happy. Now let's move onto the real deal!”

Once again, the red and blue balls condensed themselves in Sebastian's hands. This time, however, he made the spheres face each other and slowly fused them. The moment the two opposing spheres touched, a sound, unlike any Will, had ever heard entered his ears.

It was as if he was hearing flesh being burned by flames as hot as the sun.

It was as if he was hearing titanic waves crashing into each other in a stupendous storm.

It was as if he could hear time and space itself freeze and boil at the same time.
