Fury Towards The Burning Heaven
chapter-296

“A mystical cultivation art? Where did it come from?”

Jiang Yi wasn’t surprised that the Demon Empress was able to see the anomaly in his dantian. He had heard that Vajra Realm martial experts possessed divine senses which could scout formlessly. The Demon Empress was an absolute expert at the Heaven Monarch Realm; examining his dantian was just an easy task.

Jiang Yi was rather surprised when the Demon Empress guessed that the anomaly in his dantian was related to his cultivation method. When he thought about the Demon Empress’ combat strength, he realized that it was normal for her to know more about such things. He hesitated in his mind as he himself didn’t even know how this cultivation art came to him. How was he going to explain?

“Alright, if you don’t want to say it, then don’t. The next time you want to test your strength, do it further away from the Fairy Peak, okay? Look at how frightened Xiao Fei is!”

The Demon Empress glared at Jiang Yi while white radiance came out from her hand. It quickly took form into a giant palm before it vigorously grabbed at the crack in front.

Buzz!

A mystical scene occurred.

That palm shadow was pasted on that giant crack while the soil actually squirmed, causing the surface of the ground to constantly tremble. That giant crack was closing up at a speed that was noticeable by eye. It finally closed up completely, and the crack had completely vanished. Because the surface of the soil was blasted by Jiang Yi, it still looked quite ugly.

“What—what is this ability?”

Jiang Yi’s eyes were widened like pearls and felt as though he saw a ghost in broad daylight. Xiaonu was also stupefied while her mouth was opened wide as she exclaimed, “Demon Empress, are… you an immortal that descended from the heavens?”

“Ke-Ke!”

The Demon Empress laughed out for the first time ever, causing Jiang Yi to stare blankly. The charm of this Demon Empress was much incomparably enchanting, which was the bane of all men. He quickly turned his face around and didn’t dare to look anymore.

The Demon Empress took a glance at Xiaonu and spoke apathetically, “This is an ability of a dao pattern attack. Once a martial artist attained Vajra Realm, they will rely on dao pattern attacks; all those saint artifacts have no use to us completely. Heaven and earth has various types of laws, and every law is formed by countless dao patterns.

“After comprehending the dao pattern, one will be able to borrow the power of the law and release abilities that are unimaginable. What I used earlier was the mother earth dao pattern, which belongs to a low-grade dao pattern. Once this mother earth dao pattern is comprehended to a higher grade, don’t even mention controlling the soil and rocks—the transformation of nature like shifting mountains and draining seas will be as easy as lifting the hand…”

Jiang Xiaonu was confused as she listened, but her small eyes were filled with worship while Jiang Yi’s eyes were lit up like stars. He clearly understood the explanation that the Demon Empress provided to Xiaonu, which was especially for him—also opening a window for him.

The window of martial dao!

He suddenly recalled something as he abruptly brandished the Fire Dragon Sword towards the front. The moment his Fire Dragon Sword cleaved down, the surrounding air immediately converged towards the tip of his sword and was finally released as several wind dragons.

“Eh?”

There was a trace of surprise that flashed in the eyes of the Demon Empress, but she soon regained her composure. After Jiang Yi finished his demonstration, he kept the sword and asked with cupped hands, “Demon Empress, is this Wind Shadow Sword considered an ability of the dao pattern?”

“En!”

The Demon Empress nodded lightly and replied, “Yours can be considered the lowest grade of wind attribute dao pattern. Dao patterns are segregated into four grades. The more dao patterns you comprehend, the higher the grade and the stronger the strength! Once you are at the Vajra Realm, essence force attacks are rubbish; and only the dao pattern attacks are the strongest. Vajra Realm martial experts are able to turn their essence force into battle shields. If their essence force doesn’t run out, their battle shield will not be broken. Normal attacks are basically unable to break an essence force battle shield.”

“I see.”

Jiang Yi silently engraved everything that the Demon Empress said into his memory. The Demon Empress seemed to be in a good mood and was actually giving him pointers. He naturally didn’t want to let go of such an opportunity and quickly inquired, “Demon Empress, my dantian transformed because of my unique cultivation art. I don’t even know what realm am I in now; how am I going to cultivate in the future? Furthermore… I thought that a martial artist will not be able to comprehend the dao pattern before reaching the peak stage of Soul Travel Realm? Why am I able to comprehend the dao pattern of the wind?”

The Demon Empress muttered for a moment and suddenly sent a message: “This world is bigger than you can imagine. Your cultivation art might be mystical, but it isn’t considered exaggerating. How are you going to cultivate? I am not sure either because you humans have completely different cultivation arts than the demon race, and your cultivation art is unheard of, too. But… any martial artist cultivates with a few goals in mind.

“First is to strengthen the physical body, second is to enhance the essence force, and third is to comprehend dao patterns. You don’t have to think about it so much. Just think of a way to turn all the other eight star spheres into what your first star sphere looks, and your essence force will reach terrifying volumes.

“Of course, an abundant amount of essence force doesn’t mean that you will be formidable. Just take two martial artists for example. One of them has huge strength while the other has the ingenious martial skills, and the former will never be a match for the latter. Essence force and the physical body are the foundation, but the crucial factor is the comprehending of dao patterns. Only by comprehending dao patterns that are profound will your essence force truly evolve into formidable attack power, defense power, and all sorts of abilities!

“As for why you are able to comprehend dao pattern before you reach the peak stage of Soul Travel Realm… it might be related to your cultivation art, or perhaps you have a special body constitution. This world is filled with wonders and all sorts of races. The world you are seeing is just the tip of the iceberg. Once you are stronger and have the opportunity to venture out, you will be able to feel the mystics of this world.”

After the Demon Empress finished her final sentence, her body suddenly vanished as she obviously went back into the palace to cultivate.

“Huuu…”

Jiang Yi sighed lightly and memorized everything the Demon Empress said. After carefully comprehending it, he soon realized the principles.

The physical body was the cauldron, and the essence force was the root. The dao pattern was the path towards the pinnacle.

He remembered someone mentioned that martial skills were all created from dao patterns. After thinking about it, the Wind Shadow Sword must be a martial skill that was created by Zhuge Qingyun from his comprehension of the dao pattern. It was fused with the quintessence of the wind dao pattern, making it so much hard to master.

“Cultivate, cultivate!”

At this moment, Jiang Yi’s passion for cultivation was at an unprecedented high.

Shui Youlan was able to project her image over ten thousand miles. The Demon Empress had the ability to freeze time and space, and she was also able to control the earth with the abilities of the dao pattern, too. This made Jiang Yi even more determined to grow stronger.

It was only by constant cultivation and improvement that he would be able to possess abilities that Shui Youlan and the Demon Empress had. The ability to alter the laws of nature and the capability to look down from above at those martial experts.

Martial dao!

A martial artist’s dao was to continuously surpass themselves and seek the path to the pinnacle—to be able to stand above everyone and never stopping. This was the true essence of the martial dao.

The Jiang Yi of the past only wanted to change his destiny because of the outside world factors. He only wanted to be stronger in order to make Jiang Bieli kneel at Yi Piaopiao’s grave and to let no one control his own fate. Right now, he was truly desiring to be stronger from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to pursue the extremes of the martial dao and wanted to possess those formidable and mystical abilities. He had the heart of a true expert, which was extremely determined at this moment.

Bang!

Right at this moment, a giant shadow suddenly flew up from the below the mountain peak. It was the giant Demon King named Xiao Hong.

Its mace-like eyes glared at Jiang Yi like ice as it spoke with a muffled voice, “Kid. Fairy Peak is our race’s sacred lands. The Emperor is kind enough to let you stay and cultivate. The next time you dare to be reckless, this King shall tear you apart! Do you understand?”

Jiang Yi embarrassedly rubbed his nose while the little fox behind him wasn’t like him. It was crying out non-stop with a fierce expression. The Demon King’s vicious eyes immediately waned. It dared to yell at Jiang Yi impolitely, but when facing the Demon Empress’ only daughter, it was like a jackal facing a lion king as it shrunk.
