Chapter 766: Primary Form of the Foundational Principle

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li had been making smooth progress in the Noble Lord Realm. He had all the Mystical Materials which were the best of their kinds. His Soul Pond had been growing, and he had already reached the standard with regard to Profound Meaning. The only thing he required more of was Xuan Energy.

It was stunningly fast to cultivate in the Wicked Bead. Lu Li didn’t need to dissolve the seal of the bead currently so he had been pouring all Xuan Energy into his Bead of Life. In merely three months, he had reached the later stage of the Noble Lord Realm.

Before he could think about the Human Sovereign Realm, he must evolve to the peak of the Noble Lord Realm from the later stage, which could take some time. Human Sovereign Realm was not one that could be reached easily.

Lu Li had given Zi Huanyu and Yu Huashen many Mystical Materials, but neither had reached the Human Sovereign Realm. After checking with Hu Lang and God of Meng, Lu Li understood the reason—to reach the Human Sovereign Realm, one must learn a Profound Meaning of at least the fifth or sixth rank.

The higher the rank of Profound Meaning was, the easier it would be to reach the Human Sovereign Realm. Lu Li had learned several Profound Meanings, the Mirror Image, the Speed, and one that could shatter space. In the Forbidden Ground of Elder God, he had picked up another wind-related Profound Meaning, giving him the ability to control Feather Wind.

However, he didn’t think any one of the four Profound Meanings was of high rank. The only one that stood out was the wind-related Profound Meaning that enabled him to control Feather Wind. Nonetheless, he didn’t think it was above the fifth rank.

Feather Wind was something unique to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God and was not available out here.

Lu Li tried to use that Profound Meaning here and realized that he could only form some wind dragons of modest force.

Therefore!

Lu Li had shifted his focus in cultivation. Learning Profound Meanings now had become the priority. If he could not learn a Profound Meaning of fifth or sixth rank, he would not be able to reach the Human Sovereign Realm even if he had the best of the top level Mystical Materials.

“High-rank Profound Meanings!”

High-rank Profound Meanings could be obtained either by merging several Profound Meanings together or direct learning. Usually, to learn high-rank Profound Meanings directly could be difficult, unless the person was more than lucky and talented.

“Merging?”

Merging Profound Meanings was not an easy matter, either. Nobody could speak for sure what kind of Profound Meanings could be merged together, or how to achieve that, or where to begin.

Mirror Image, Speed, space-shattering, and wind force!

How to merge the four Profound Meanings together? Which two could go together? At the moment, Lu Li felt puzzled. The several Profound Meanings seemed utterly unrelated. How could they be merged?

Should he learn a new Profound Meaning?

But Profound Meanings were not random skills that could be picked up at all times. If he had still been in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God, he might have a bigger chance of learning Profound Meanings given that it had marks of nature’s rhythms.

“Wait a minute…”

Lu Li suddenly remembered that the Crippled Zen Master had been living in the Zen Valley for three thousand years. Could it be that the valley presented some natural meanings and laws? Was the Crippled Zen Master living here to learn a powerful Profound Meaning?

Yin Qingsi had told Lu Li that he could wander around the Zen Valley provided that he would stay away from the cabins. After a long period of cultivation, he had become bored. So, he took the chance and left the bead.

He didn’t alert Yin Qingsi and only notified the maid outside. He strode into the Zen Valley.

The valley was a spacious one with ponds, streams, bamboos, and flowers. In some corners, there were woods in which resided some animals. The view was stunning, radiating in idyllic beauty.

Lu Li walked very slowly. He didn’t use psychic power and just moved around as he wished. He was completely absorbed in the pretty scenery.

He walked into the sea of flowers and enjoyed the beautiful smell. At the pond, he sat down on the rocks and gazed blankly into it. In the bamboo forest, he watched as the bamboo leaves danced in the wind, rustling. Near the steam, he stepped onto a meandering road, appreciating the music of the running water…

He walked on and on like this for half a month!

Since he didn’t ask the maid to tell Yin Qingsi, and the maids and servants didn’t dare to alert him, Lu Li had been idling about in the valley all alone, almost like an imbecile.

Eventually, he wandered into a bamboo forest and sat down. It was a dense forest. He had chosen a spot nearby a stream.

When Lu Li sat on a slate with his legs crossed and started cultivating, under the phoenix tree in the backyard of the cabins, the Crippled Zen Master suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked toward Lu Li’s direction, shocked. “That kid sure has a sharp sense. In the valley, there are 10 spots that have nature’s rhythms, and he has chosen the best one. But this nature’s rhythm is the most difficult one to perceive. The kid’s realm is so low. Asking for the moon? I think it is too soon for him,” murmured the Crippled Zen Master coldly.

Half a month later!

Yin Qingsi stopped cultivation as well. She realized that Lu Li was staying in the bamboo forest nearby a stream. She was surprised as well. She knew that there was nature’s rhythm because she had been going there since she was a kid. That being said, she was never able to perceive any Profound Meaning there.

Therefore, Yin Qingsi wanted to remind Lu Li, telling him not to waste time there and that the Profound Meaning contained in that nature’s rhythm was extremely intricate. It should be a Profound Meaning of high rank. He would be practically asking for the impossible to try to learn it when his realm was not high enough yet.

Yin Qingsi strode over. She sensed his rigid face with psychic power. In the end, she refrained from waking him up. What if Lu Li could indeed learn a powerful Profound Meaning here?

As a matter of fact, Lu Li did not have a particularly strong sense which enabled him to find the most powerful nature’s rhythm in the valley. He was merely fortunate.

It was where the stream turned. Along with the trickling stream, there came a breeze. Around where the stream turned, there located a bamboo forest. Some bamboos were found in peculiar spots. When the breeze brushed over them, those bamboos would move around. Bamboo leaves would dance around as well, forming a mysterious rhythm.

This rhythm was similar to the one in the island in Forbidden Ground of Elder God when Lu Li learned the wind Profound Meaning.

Therefore, when Lu Li came to this place, he felt inspired. He stopped and cleared his mind to feel the finding.

There was no man-made mark, which meant that the movement and rhythm were naturally formed, instead of being left behind by some human warrior.

Nature’s rhythm was difficult to see because there was no mark of it. However, what the nature’s rhythm contained was an embodiment of natural laws. Once a warrior could pick up and understand the nature’s rhythm, the warrior could go into the depth, following the clue, and eventually learn a mighty Profound Meaning.

Truth be told, Lu Li was not learning the nature’s rhythm here!

He sat here to better reflect the nature’s rhythm he had sensed in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God. He wanted to take the chance to further his understanding of the wind Profound Meaning to evolve it.

Ming Yu’s “Force” had evolved to a seventh rank Space Sealing Profound Meaning when he cultivated in the Inferno. Low-level Profound Meanings could advance. This was a path that Lu Li wanted to travel on.

To cultivate in the Zen Valley could be almost as fast as in the Wicked Bead. Lu Li had been living in the Zen Valley for some time now, and he had encountered no danger. He felt very at home to cultivate here.

“Splash, splash, splash~”

On the sixth day of his cultivation, the wind suddenly began to swirl around him. Then, the bamboos started to shake violently. Bamboo leaves fell. The waters in the stream nearby traveled upstream because of the wind. Countless leaves were stirred up, and a strange whirlwind formed around Lu Li.

“What?”

The Crippled Zen Master was startled again. He used psychic power to check at once. His white eyebrows twitched as he said to himself, “Primary form of Foundational Principle? The kid can make out the Foundational Principle? Yes, this is just the primary form but still, how strange…”
