Chapter 319

Great Xia world.

Inside the Yuanzhong Divine Palace.

Broken gray-white stone pillars rose to the sky, surrounded by gray mist.

Fang Xing gave a start and woke up.

Feeling the weakness of his body and the environment on all sides, a smile appeared on his face: "So... am I still Li Ying?"

In his mind, the memories of these three years came flooding in.

'After I left, Li Ying immediately dropped to the level of an ordinary person, and his progress in comprehending the Profound Meaning was almost zero...'

'The gray-robed person was surprised, disappointed... even desperate, but in the end, he didn't kill him, just cut off his food source...'

'Fasting for three years, if he hadn't already ascended to a True Energy Grandmaster, he might have died of thirst and hunger...'

'It seems the "Gray-Clothed Marquis" really has great restrictions; not only can he not actively kill the trial-takers, he can't even cut off the air...'

'As for Li Ying, being able to bite the bullet and not reveal the matter of my "descent", was he afraid of losing his utility value and being killed?'

'No... did he treat me as his second personality from schizophrenia?'

Although this body was a True Energy Grandmaster and could barely manage to abstain from grains, he definitely wouldn't have lasted three years without air.

Or perhaps, the Gray-Clothed Marquis still held a glimmer of hope? Deliberately torturing him to stimulate Li Ying to fight hard?

"Forget it..."

Fang Xing stood up, looking at the "Thirty-Six Volumes of the Profound Meaning of Fire" around him, his face full of smiles: "Since the inheritance is still here, making rapid progress is the right thing to do!"

Last time he traveled, he only descended for a little over a month.

This time he traveled over, perhaps the time is even shorter, he must seize the opportunity well!

He reached out and took a crimson scale from the ball of fire.

On the crimson scale, lines like flames were constantly changing, emitting a scorching temperature.

"Profound Meaning of the Heart of Flame?"

Fang Xing's eyes lit up: "Just the difficulty point I was thinking about before..."

He immediately sat cross-legged and became immersed in it.

Inside another palace hall.

The 'Gray-Clothed Marquis' watched the model of the Great Xia planet, motionless, and sighed: "That kind of talent that can be regarded as a peerless genius even in an intermediate cosmic nation is indeed extremely rare... For over thirty thousand years, there has only been Li Ying, and more importantly, he actually has such a special constitution..."

Because Li Ying refused to admit it to the death, and he couldn't observe the traversal of the Gate of the Heavens, he could only attribute Li Ying's intermittent comprehension to a special constitution.

The Gray-Clothed Marquis's true body was knowledgeable, having traveled to various civilized nations and seen all kinds of strange geniuses.

Naturally, he knew that some special constitutions often have speechless effects.

For example, a recessive constitution where even physical talent can appear and disappear.

Then... it is very possible that the same applies to comprehension.

"Periodically becoming stupid?!"

The Gray-Clothed Marquis prepared to observe for another period of time; at worst, after the ten-year term expires, he would just throw him out.

Suddenly, his cloak turned, and that deep, bottomless darkness looked at everything inside the Inheritance Hall again: "Started comprehending again?"

The Gray-Clothed Marquis just glanced at it and ignored it.

After all, after Fang Xing left, Li Ying also wouldn't give up, trying to comprehend those Profound Meanings of Fire, then became a "fallen genius", and then gave up.

Looking at it now, after being forced to a dead end by himself, it seems he finally ignited a glimmer of hope again?

He didn't know that Fang Xing was not a "fallen genius", but a "sleeping genius", and now, the "sleeping genius" was about to wake up.

Several days passed quickly.

"Wonderful... wonderful! So that's how the Heart of Flame works."

Fang Xing sketched casually.

He clearly wasn't using any True Energy now, just casual sketching with his fingertips, and crimson lines appeared in the void.

Countless lines sketched together, vaguely forming a heart of flame.

The heart of flame beat and burned vigorously...

Immediately, Fang Xing felt his "Fire Element Affinity" increase again, and the power of the moves he comprehended improved again!

'If this continues, after completely comprehending the Profound Meaning of Fire, can I, a Martial Saint, rival a Martial God?'

'Then what do I need a mecha for?'

'That's not right either, it's highly probable that after completely comprehending the Profound Meaning of Fire, I can only barely escape in front of a weak Martial God... But if equipped with a mecha, I could rival a weak Martial God, or even a senior Martial God, or a strong Martial God... it's not impossible to fight!'

A weak Martial God was just Fang Xing's classification; even the weakest Martial God far surpassed a powerful Martial Saint.

Therefore, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call them "newly promoted Martial Gods".

"Good, strike while the iron is hot..."

Fang Xing picked up a long flame feather again, looking at the dazzling tassels: "Profound Meaning of Fire Meteor? Once comprehended, my speed can at least surge several times more!"

He felt that his progress in the Profound Meaning of Fire now was like riding a rocket.

It should be because he had been forcibly comprehending it for the past few years without inheritance guidance, accumulating a large number of problems and experience.

Now that he saw the orthodox guidance and inheritance, it was a case of accumulation leading to a breakthrough.

Moreover, Fang Xing deliberately revealed the "Heart of Flame" Profound Meaning, naturally wanting to induce the Gray-Clothed Marquis to descend! Sure enough!

When the Heart of Flame was sketched, the Gray-Clothed Marquis was excited.

"This... this this... has his talent recovered?"

"My revenge, my resurrection... is there hope again?"

The Gray-Clothed Marquis wanted to go over immediately, but forcibly held back: "No... wait a little longer, observe a little more... he might just be a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, or perhaps this talent must manifest when no one is around?"

'Oh? Quite patient...'

Three days later.

Fang Xing smiled in his heart and raised his hand.

Flame meteors appeared one after another, circling his body.

"Fire Meteor? Comprehended another Profound Meaning?"

The Gray-Clothed Marquis finally couldn't hold back and appeared before Fang Xing: "Your talent... hmm?"

He looked at Fang Xing carefully and found that although it was still the same Li Ying as before, his temperament and demeanor were completely different.

Combined with Li Ying's previous performance, he was even more certain of his guess: 'Twin personality talent?'

This kind of talent is like a mental patient with split personality.

The key is that among some split personalities, they often carry unbelievable talent!

Li Ying's performance was very similar to this kind of "twin personality".

For the Gray-Clothed Marquis, it didn't matter what talent it was; the key was to help him take revenge!

"Your aptitude seems to have some problems. Deep in your soul, there is another personality hidden, a cowardly, incompetent, and weak personality."

The Gray-Clothed Marquis said to Fang Xing seriously: "If you want your talent to be fully utilized, you must solve this problem..."

"Oh? Then what is the solution?" Fang Xing immediately understood that the Gray-Clothed Marquis treated him as a split-personality patient, and asked with a smile.

"Two methods. The first is to practice a clone technique! Sever your weak personality..."

The Gray-Clothed Marquis said: "This is the best method. Apart from this, you can only rely on some secret techniques and treasures... to seal and suppress that personality deep in your soul... but it treats the symptoms, not the root cause. However, both have a problem, which is whether your comprehension talent will disappear or weaken after the treatment..."

Some special constitutions have this trouble; after solving the bad, the good is also gone.

What if Fang Xing's talent requires the twin personalities to be intact and constantly switchable to have this kind of comprehension?

"I can solve this problem myself..."

Fang Xing said indifferently after hearing it.

He secretly glanced at the attribute bar and found that the Profound Meaning of Fire had reached the "Proficient" level, feeling that he had made a huge profit.

If it weren't for the limited traversal time, he wouldn't have bothered to lure the Gray-Clothed Marquis out.

Isn't it better to cultivate silently by myself?

"Now, I have comprehended more than half of the Profound Meaning of Fire, and vaguely felt the 'Law of Fire'..."

In Fang Xing's eyes, two crimson flames quietly appeared: "As long as I enter the 'Law of Fire', I will be a true successor."

"..." The Gray-Clothed Marquis couldn't help but fall silent, then sighed: "Yes."

"I want to ask a question, what kind of realm is after True Energy Grandmaster? What are the differences? You need to answer me seriously!" Fang Xing said.

After the Martial God in the main universe, it is a dead end.

The Immortal Martial Dao might not be able to connect.

If there is a new smooth path, at least it can be used as insurance, leaving a way out.

"Fine, then I'll talk about it..."

The Gray-Clothed Marquis sighed: "True Energy Grandmaster is just an ant on the cosmic scale... The Jinli system is too low-level and rough... It's very, very difficult to advance... If a True Energy Grandmaster wants to go up, they must comprehend a Profound Meaning, it can be the Profound Meaning of Fire, or the Profound Meaning of Water, or the Profound Meaning of Wind..."

"Comprehending the Profound Meaning to perfection, and then entering a Law power, their strength will surge by billions of times, and they can truly rival a star, destroying a planet... Therefore, it is called 'Star Lord'!"

"Star Lord?"

Fang Xing was somewhat moved.

A True Energy Grandmaster in the main universe only has the strength of a Fifth Realm professional.

But the Star Lord realm can destroy a planet, which is the combat power of the Ninth or Tenth Realm!

Jumping from the Fifth Realm to the Ninth Realm all at once?

This difficulty is indeed outrageously large! It's even harming people!

"Crossing so much?" He simply couldn't believe it.

"The Jinli system was just developed on your tiny Great Xia planet... In other planets and civilizations, there are naturally more perfect and systematic paths to transcendence... But the end of all paths to transcendence is comprehending the Profound Meaning, from Profound Meaning to Law, and then from Law to Dao..."

The Gray-Clothed Marquis sighed.

'In other words, the Great Xia's Jinli system is too weak, there are many courses to make up... If you don't make them up, the path ahead is cut off, unless you encounter a super-standard "genius" like me...'

But Fang Xing knew that his genius had a lot of water in it; in fact, he had completed the accumulation of the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Realms.

Coming to comprehend the power of Profound Meaning again, with the attribute panel helping to cheat, it would be unreasonable if he didn't succeed.

"In the Star Lord realm, it can be further divided..."

At this time, the Gray-Clothed Marquis continued to introduce: "In terms of the depth of understanding of the Law, for every bit more comprehended, the destructive power will rise exponentially..."
