About fifteen thousand kilometers into the Great Canyon.
The hands of the black-skinned teenager, Lord You Lan, were folded in front of his chest. He was frowning at the picture on the cliff ahead of him. The scar was likely formed using sword and blade techniques and was probably left behind by an ancestor from the Deity world.
“Time and space.” Lord You Lan squinted his eyes at the image.
“Sword as time, blade as space.”
“He could actually use the might of both time and space simultaneously. He might not have fused them together as one and transformed them into the complete Time and Space Deity Heart, but to have even fused just those two Laws of Profound Mysteries to this extent can already be considered quite amazing.” Lord You Lan’s eyes shimmered with greed. He could determine that before him was likely the result of a secret skill created by a Deity with both a Time Deity Heart and a Space Deity Heart.
Of course, one could only have a single True Deity Heart!
Like Transcendents, however, Deities could ponder many different True Meanings. They could cultivate all sorts of True Meanings to the Deity Heart realm, but ultimately, the final condensation of a True Deity Heart could only be done using a single one of them.
For instance, Xue Ying might raise the True Meanings of Extreme Piercing, Star, and Mirage to the Deity Heart realm, but he could only choose one of them to condense into his True Deity Heart! He would then be destined to walk down that road as his main path, and the evolution of his Deity Heart would follow the same route too.
“Of my two grade two True Meanings, one is a Time-related Profound Mystery, and the other has some Profound Mysteries of Space mixed within. If only I could fuse these two into one and create my own secret skil…” Lord You Lan’s eyes glimmered with hope.
Secret skills… Even Xue Ying was originally not that powerful. But once he created his secret skill, his combat power increased explosively!
“If I manage to create my own secret skill, I’ll have some hope to cross the Sky-Reaching Vine.” Lord You Lan immediately turned to give the picture a thorough inspection. He would occasionally close his eyes, his mind fully concentrated on deducing the secrets within.
…
In another place.
Xue Ying and Chen Jiu stood by the side of the river, watching spherical particles spitting out from the mouth of the volcano. A day had already passed outside, yet the two of them remained fully engrossed.
Transcendents at the very start of their path would usually not look at weapon techniques created by others, in worry that they would veer off path!
Once they grasped hold of a True Meaning, their hearts would already follow their own True Meaning. At that point, they would naturally already be walking on their own particular paths, and there would usually no longer be any issue in viewing the techniques of others.
There would ultimately always be some exceptional cases, though—
Even Deities or World Deities could become suspicious toward their own Dao, resulting in their True Deity Heart crumbling and their imminent death!
Naturally, such cases were few and far between. Thus, jaded seniors would always advise their pupils according to their own experience, instructing them to inspect only techniques that followed a similar path.
So that’s how it is. These experts of the Deity world have walked farther than us Transcendents in terms of understanding of the Laws of Profound Mysteries. The more Xue Ying pondered, the more things he discovered that left him gasping in astonishment. The comprehension of Extreme Piercing in his heart grew stronger, causing him to unknowingly wave about his fingers as he tried out different ideas with his fingers in place of spears.
All of a sudden, two enormous creatures appeared atop another cliff behind Xue Ying and Chen Jiu. These nearly ten-meter-long creatures of metal and stone had four hooves and sharp teeth! Even their claws seemed very powerful.
Hu! Hu!
They abruptly charged out, turning into two streams of wind that moved closer with terrifying speed.
“Be careful.”
Xue Ying and Chen Jiu had both been keeping watch over the surrounding five thousand kilometers of space, so they naturally sensed the creatures as soon as they surfaced. Yet even then, they found the creatures’ emergence quite abrupt.
“So fast. They can likely cover about a thousand kilometers in a single second.” Xue Ying was quite startled by such speed. Since they had leapt over from behind the cliff, they were now really close. Xue Ying first released his Gravity Domain in the direction of those two beasts, which seemed more like metal and stone constructs, reducing their speed. Yet even under its effect, they still moved at about seven hundred fifty to eight hundred kilometers per second.
Xue Ying disappeared from mid-air, entering the Mirage.
“So fast!” Chen Jiu immediately turned around, forming eight arms.
