" cough cough... this damn old thing!" At this moment, Ren Pingsheng appeared thousands of miles away. As soon as he stopped, he fell to the ground and couldn't even get up. His body was already stained red with blood, and even the Thousand Silk Armor underneath was dyed blood-colored.
Thanks to it, otherwise, whether Ren Pingsheng could survive a blow from a King-Level Expert was uncertain. This Thousand Silk Armor had saved his life several times.
"I can't stay here; I need to find a place to heal." He struggled to get up and wobbled away into the distance. Finally, after a moment, he found a secluded small hill, dug a cave there, and then crawled inside. He collapsed the entrance to block the cave.
At this point, he finally felt relieved and slowly expanded the space inside before leaning against the rock to rest for a while.
"The King-Level Expert is too powerful. Last time I was able to defeat an injured King-Level Expert, it was pure luck. This time, I almost died." Thinking this, he coughed again and spat out some blood, feeling somewhat better in his chest.
"Ha..." Ren Pingsheng held the Yuan Stone in his hand, holding his breath and concentrating to begin recovering his True Qi. At this moment, he felt weak all over; the pure Spiritual Energy from the Yuan Stone continuously flowed into his body. The Six-Colored Cyclone in his Dantian spun around, and drops of True Essence appeared in the True Essence Pool below.
Gradually, the True Essence within him began to gather more and more. By the time one Yuan Stone disappeared, half of his True Essence had already recovered. At this point, he stopped and began to heal his injuries.
The Wood Attribute True Qi within him started to circulate, fully releasing the complete Wood Realm. Under the operation of the Ancient Lan Divine Art, countless life forces emanated from him, gradually healing the damage in his Meridian.
He sat like this for three days; by now, most of his injuries had healed, and his aura had stabilized. His complexion was no longer as pale as it had been at first.
However, at this moment, he still did not open his eyes; the Ancient Lan Divine Art within him continued to operate. He was comprehending the last bit of green light left by the Azure Dragon within him. Previously, while healing, he inadvertently activated the green light in his Meridian, which then automatically followed the circulation of True Qi.
It was precisely because of this that he could recover so quickly; otherwise, it would have taken at least three or four more days to heal completely.
Ren Pingsheng immersed himself wholeheartedly in understanding the green light and gained new insights into the Wood Realm. The Wood Realm represented rebirth and boundless vitality but also possessed unparalleled offensive power.
The attack power of each Artistic Conception should not be underestimated. Each Artistic Conception is unique and has irreplaceable functions that cannot be substituted by others. Even if one focuses solely on one Artistic Conception, they can still carve out a path of strength. The key lies in how one comprehends it and how they perceive it.
Now Ren Pingsheng felt as if he were in a space of the Wood Realm. This last bit of green light formed a vast ocean of green. He swam freely within it; there were towering trees that shaded the sky, sprouting grass, resilient green bamboo standing proudly in storms, and vines clawing at the sky.
In every scene he encountered, he felt an indescribable spirit and sentiment that embodied the essence of the Wood Realm. He didn't know how long he had been here; it felt like dozens or even hundreds of years.
He traveled through many places until he finally reached the end of the ocean. There stood a great tree with lush branches and leaves adorned with countless flowers. Through spring and winter, year after year, it had endured countless storms and experienced countless ages.
Profound Changes reached the end of its life, collapsing to the ground. It then decayed into a pile of dead wood, ultimately turning to dust.
However, when it departed, it left behind a seed that fell into the dust it had become and surprisingly began to grow slowly, eventually becoming a large tree. The same place, the same flourishing growth; everything seemed unchanged. This scene continuously unfolded before Ren Pingsheng in the years that followed.
It seemed as if it had never truly died, merely undergoing one transformation after another. In the end, it would grow stronger and live longer.
“Wood Realm, Wood's Profound Meaning, I understand now. Wood Realm is like that tree's life from birth to death, and Wood's Profound Meaning is its final transformation, a metamorphosis from death to life. After transformation, one can welcome an even more glorious life. Just like cultivating to become a King-Level Expert, stepping onto the true path of the predecessors.”
Ren Pingsheng muttered unconsciously, and the entire ocean of the Wood Realm began to slowly dissipate. Green light appeared around his body, growing ever brighter until the entire cave was enveloped in green.
These green lights constantly changed, their colors deepening. Waves of vitality emanated outward. Through the soil, they gradually reached the surface. The wild grass and trees above burst forth with vibrant flowers. In just a short half-hour, what had once looked barren was now covered with wildflowers and grass.
This also attracted countless bees and butterflies fluttering about, along with birds landing nearby. In this early summer season, it added an extra touch of beauty.
Finally, the green light in the cave began to tremble and then merged together until only one beam of green light remained. This beam was so refreshing that it felt like a spring breeze, uplifting one's spirit. He felt completely at ease and clear-minded.
This green light circled around Ren Pingsheng before merging into his body. He was enveloped by the green light as if undergoing a transformation. The light spun within him for a while before enhancing his body.
After spinning for ten rounds, this green light flashed and disappeared. His already strong body was not only enhanced but also gained additional resilience and vitality.
“Wood's Profound Meaning, I have finally comprehended it.” Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes; five days had passed. He spoke calmly to himself as countless greens gathered in his hand.
He noticed a patch of withered grass among the rocks in the cave and waved his hand; numerous green lights gently fell upon it. Under the illumination of these green lights, the withered grass began to slowly regain its vitality. The once yellowed leaves gradually turned green again until they swayed with life, transforming into a vibrant little plant.
“Wood's Profound Meaning, truly miraculous.” He smiled lightly as all the green light in the cave vanished. “I didn't expect that this time I would turn misfortune into fortune; after being severely injured by a King-Level Expert, I inadvertently evolved into understanding Wood's Profound Meaning. That means I am now also a Half-Step Monarch.”
“However, I have only grasped two parts of Wood's Profound Meaning, and there is still a long way ahead!” He said with mixed feelings of joy and helplessness because he recalled how he had initially understood Wind Realm in a similar manner—from just one or two parts to complete mastery. Now everything had to start over again.
“Nevertheless, Profound Meaning is indeed incomparable to Artistic Conception. Its power is likely thirty times that of Artistic Conception at the same level,” he sensed carefully and was filled with astonishment.
To put it simply, one part of Profound Meaning equates to thirty percent of Artistic Conception's power; that is truly terrifying. This is merely a numerical comparison based on minimal power calculations. In reality, one part of Profound Meaning is far stronger than thirty percent of Artistic Conception. He also recalled how fortunate he had been in his previous battle against the Evil Sect's King-Level Expert.
To become a King-Level Expert martial artist, even at the initial stage, as long as their cultivation is solid, they can comprehend the Profound Meaning to some extent. The King-Level Expert from the Evil Sect is clearly at an Intermediate level, so their comprehension of the Profound Meaning is at least two-tenths. This corresponds to at least six times the complete Artistic Conception, or even more.
If it weren't for his severe injuries, he wouldn't be able to unleash even twenty to thirty percent of the Profound Meaning's power. If a true ultimate martial technique were to strike down, even with the Thousand Silk Armor for protection, it would be difficult for him to survive.
"Profound Meaning... It seems that my next task is to comprehend Wood's Profound Meaning as much as possible. At the very least, I need to reach a level where I can fight. Two-tenths of Wood's Profound Meaning would have power equivalent to a fully realized Artistic Conception; even if I were to surpass it, it wouldn't be by much. In a real battle, it wouldn't determine the outcome; I need to comprehend at least five-tenths."
Ren Pingsheng suppressed his emotions and changed out of his tattered clothes before leaving the cave. Looking at the small hill covered in wild grass and flowers, he was momentarily surprised but then smiled and turned to leave.
"That damned old fellow! Since he dares to openly hunt me down, this Xuanjian Sect might not be safe even if they don't help. Returning to Xuanjian City now wouldn’t guarantee their safety either. Although I've become a Half-Step Monarch and comprehended the Profound Meaning, my True Essence has also become twice as pure, I still cannot match a King-Level Expert. The only option left is to head to Jizhou alone."
After carefully considering for a moment, Ren Pingsheng shook his head helplessly and abandoned the idea of returning to Xuanjian City. Even with his strength doubled, he was still no match for a King-Level Expert.
"It's a pity that there are only five months left; crossing two states is simply impossible in time. It seems I can only go to Xiangzhou and hope that Situ Kong has connections with the dominant Sidu Family in Xiangzhou so that I can enter Jizhou through them."
Now he had no choice but to take this approach. Situ Kong gave him the impression that he was definitely not a genius cultivated by just half of a force. His intuition told him that Situ Kong was a disciple of the Sidu Family in Xiangzhou and likely had an impressive background.
Thinking of this, Ren Pingsheng immediately changed his appearance and returned to Xuanjian City. He dared not use his original face; there might be many people watching him in Xuanjian City right now. As soon as he appeared, he would likely face a thunderous strike.
Fortunately, Xuanjian City is a royal city with teleportation available to other states in the Eastern Region. There are even Teleportation Arrays that directly transport to Xiangzhou's royal city, Xiangzhou City; unfortunately, the cost is too high and may not be worth it.
In the end, Ren Pingsheng chose to teleport to one of the Secondary Cities on the outskirts of Xiangzhou. Once inside Xiangzhou's territory, the cost of further teleportation would be much lower. After all, he still had three months left, which was more than enough time for him to reach Xiangzhou City.
