Chapter 238: Enlightenment

The white Luck Energy condensed by Luolong County and the blood-red Luck Energy of the Demon Race army collided with each other.

Within that white Luck Energy, the shouts of over forty thousand humans were contained, crying out in unison.

Within that red Luck Energy, the frenzied roars of Demon Beasts were contained.

A long time ago, the regions where humans lived were all the territory of the Demon Race; humans were merely a very weak branch among the Demon Race, and their status was very low, serving as food for many powerful Demon Race clans.

Later, humans rose up, built cities, and drove out the Demon Race; the two sides fought battle after battle, and in the end, the Demon Race was soundly defeated and forced to migrate into the Ten Thousand Mountains, where miasma filled the air and poisonous creatures ran rampant, to linger on in a desperate struggle for survival.

Many Wild Beasts that had not yet gained intelligence also remained in the areas of human activity, from then on being hunted continuously by hunters; the furs of the Wild Beasts were made into clothing, and their flesh and blood were eaten by humans.

It can be said that the war between the Demon Race and humans has never ceased; now that the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty is suffering from natural and man-made disasters and its national strength is waning, the Demon Race army is taking the opportunity to emerge from the Ten Thousand Mountains to exterminate humanity, reclaim their homeland, and rebuild the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

The Faith Power of the common people of Luolong County collided fiercely with the Faith Power of the Demon Race army.

There are more humans in Luolong County than there are in the Demon Race army, and furthermore, the loyalty of the common people in the city toward Meng Yifan is high, so the Dynasty Luck that condensed was even purer and its power greater.

This resulted in the human side gaining the upper hand in this confrontation of Dynasty Luck, squeezing the Luck Energy of the Demon Race and forcing it to retreat continuously.

"It seems you are a fellow who is very popular with the people, but it's a pity your strength is too weak; once you are finished off, those Dynasty Luck powers will naturally dissipate."

Lang Jiao gave a contemptuous smile, then continued to control the Earth Domain, continuing to compress it toward Meng Yifan.

Ever since Meng Yifan was enveloped by the Earth Domain, he had been carefully examining the Earth Domain with his Spiritual Power; to an ordinary person looking with the naked eye, the Earth Domain was just a layer of earthy-yellow light film.

But under the scanning of Meng Yifan's Spiritual Power, it was as if he were carrying a magnifying glass, and he could clearly see that the structure of this Domain was very special.

It was constructed from Earth Spirit Power into tiny regular hexagons, and these regular hexagons then combined with each other to form a stable Spirit Power framework.

"Huh! How is this somewhat similar to the benzene molecular structure diagram in high school chemistry textbooks?" A flash of inspiration struck Meng Yifan's mind.

"The physical theorems and formulas in high school textbooks expound on the laws of energy conversion and the rules of object movement on a macroscopic level."

"From the collision of two small iron balls, where energy is conserved, to the movement of celestial bodies and the explosion of stars, scientists have provided the principles; although they may not be absolutely correct, within the regions that humans can currently observe, these principles and theorems really work."

"The various molecular structure diagrams in chemistry textbooks explain the composition of objects on a microscopic level."

"The blood circulation, cells, cell nuclei, cell walls, and so on in biology textbooks explain in even greater detail what living things are composed of and in what way they survive."

Thinking of this, Meng Yifan felt as if he had been enlightened, and he suddenly understood many principles.

On Earth, there is a widely circulated famous saying: the end of science is metaphysics.

Einstein was the greatest scientist in the world; he proposed the famous formula E=mc², revealing the equivalence between matter and energy, which in turn guided the research into the ultimate human weapon, the Atomic Bomb.

The Second World War ended because of the Atomic Bomb invented by Einstein.

It was precisely such a world-renowned scientist who, in his later years, became obsessed with the study of metaphysics, which further illustrates that there is an inextricable connection between science and metaphysics.

Meng Yifan was already a Third-Grade High-Level Immortal Cultivator; what he lacked was Enlightenment, and originally, he had no clue how to achieve Enlightenment.

This also caused him great distress, and he could only follow the teachings of Zhang Sanfeng, practicing Taiji Fist every day, hoping to comprehend the Great Dao of Yin and Yang from it, but for some reason, he had yet to gain anything.

At the critical moment of life and death, Meng Yifan came into contact with the Earth Domain of a Fourth Grade Demon Race, observed the structure of the Domain, and then associated it with the physics, chemistry, and biology knowledge from his high school textbooks, which made him suddenly realize the truth and instantly enter a state of Enlightenment.

Especially at the moment when the Dynasty Luck of Luolong County broke through the blockade of the Earth Domain, Meng Yifan saw clearly the splitting and recombination at the joints of the Earth Spirit Power regular hexagons, which gave him a deeper understanding of this special combination of Spirit Power.

Meng Yifan drew inferences from one instance and began to achieve Enlightenment; he used his Spiritual Power to mobilize the Spirit Power within his body, causing them to condense together and imitate the benzene molecular structure, with those equilateral hexagons combining together.

The Yin Spiritual Power was like a mischievous child, unwilling to be restrained, so Meng Yifan coaxed them with his will; slowly, six Yin Spiritual Power particles connected into an equilateral hexagon, forming a separate whole, and then more equilateral hexagons connected to each other, becoming a new type of Spirit Power structure.

"Hum!" Meng Yifan's body shook; he felt that with the formation of this unique Spirit Power structure, the Spirit Power in his body was compressed, its volume reduced by two-thirds, but the remaining Spirit Power was more condensed and its power even greater.

There are three thousand Great Daos, and changing the Spirit Power structure is also a type of Great Dao; after Meng Yifan achieved Enlightenment, his cultivation realm began to rise toward the Fourth Grade.

"Huh! To actually break through one's realm in the middle of a battle and want to become a Fourth-Grade Powerhouse; it's a pity, this princess will not give you that chance. Go to hell."

Lang Jiao struck quickly, the Earth Domain accelerated its contraction, squeezing Meng Yifan's body, and at the same time, Lang Jiao's Wolf Claw, flashing with earthy-yellow light, clawed toward Meng Yifan's neck; she wanted to strangle Meng Yifan in the process of his breakthrough.

Meng Yifan was startled; with his current strength, he was indeed no match for Lang Jiao, but Meng Yifan had the Game Panel, and with the great battle against the Demon Beasts, a large amount of Experience Value had already accumulated on it.

Previously, he could not break through his realm because Meng Yifan had not achieved Enlightenment and was stuck in a bottleneck period; now that Meng Yifan had achieved Enlightenment and the Spirit Power structure in his body had changed, he could already use Experience Value to raise his realm.

"Upgrade!" Meng Yifan's mind stirred, and a large amount of Experience Value on the Game Panel was consumed; inside his body, those Spirit Power structures that were still changing were like being pressed on a fast-forward button, changing rapidly at an incredible speed.

Almost in an instant, Meng Yifan completed the leap from a Third-Grade High-Level Immortal Cultivator to a Fourth Grade Lower Tier Immortal Cultivator.

"Bang!" A black ring of light appeared around Meng Yifan's body, forcefully pushing away the constraints of Lang Jiao's Earth Domain.

Immediately following, Meng Yifan threw a punch with his right hand, smashing toward Lang Jiao's Wolf Claw; the two collided, producing a loud noise, and the air was shaken into ripples by the scattered energy.

Lang Jiao was knocked back a step; her expression changed drastically, and she said in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
