Chapter 141: Zone (1/2)
”Of course not! If there is something that makes me afraid is not having battles. But, can you start explaining Zone now? What is it? How can I enter Zone? And, why should I enter Zone?” Qin shook his head and asked with a curious tone.
Lan Ming sighed breathe of relief and explained ”Zone is a state for a cultivator. This state generally boosts one's comprehension ability. And, if it is used during battle, it can also boost your strength in the middle of a battle.”
”To enter the zone, there are only two ways. First is constant practice with all your focus on it and second is an inborn talent. Let's take Zhao Tan and Chu Xieyi as an example. Both of them have entered Zone but Zhao Tan entered Zone through sheer training while Chu Xieyi had the inborn talent to enter Zone.”
”Zone is based on a certain path that you choose or the talent that you possess. Chu Xieyi possesses a talent for ice and thus granting her the ability to enter Zone. Once she enters Zone, her comprehension over Ice element get boosted by three or even five times.”
”Basically, Enlightenment is Zone or rather Zone is the broader concept for enlightenment. We go to the Enlightenment Room to comprehend something. The enlightenment room has a tree which has uncountable leaves.”
”That Tree is a small version of World Tree. This tree has the function to help others enter the Zone temporarily. And, it can maintain nearly a hundred people only. That's why there is always a restriction for the number of disciples that can enter Enlightenment Room at once.”
”But, this tree is just a small version that's why it can only help other enter Zone Temporarily. You could feel this as well. Only when you focus completely on something inside the Enlightenment Room, you trigger that enlightenment state which can be called Zone.”
”This should have given the answer for how to enter Zone and why to enter Zone, right? But, that's not the point I am trying to make.”
Hearing his words, Qin stared at Lan Ming and waited till he took a breath and continued ”My point is if you go against your original path, you will break the ability to enter the zone. And, once you break it, you can't repair it. Unlike your sword cultivation, you can't fix the zone. Unless you walk on a completely different path and enter another zone.”
”I feel like you can enter the Zone. But, if you started dual cultivation, you might break it and regret it. Sword Path is strict and there are many rules that you can't break as a swordsman. This is why most of the true swordsmen never bend.”
”But, this is also the reason why there are very few true swordsmen in the upper world. There will always be the moment where you might have to bend and even surrender to keep yourself alive. But, if a swordsman does that, he will break this sword cultivation.”
”It's amazing, isn't it? You are the one walking on the sword path but this path is something that's dictating your journey. I am not trying to be rude or anything. But, aren't you in the same position where Zhao Tan was?”
Qin's pupils shrunk upon hearing his words. His heart was shaken for a moment.
'Am I?' Qin asked to himself while clenching his fists. But, Lan Ming cleared his throat and continued ”But, I have a way to solve your problem.”
