For many days following, Xiao Chen did not leave the Great Hall and chose instead to sort through his knowledge, reviewing it from beginning to end.

Now, he had reached the peak of the Towering Realm’s Stage Eight Sphere, his body’s ancient methods of cultivation refined, with eighty percent of his Blood Qi cultivated. As for his Combat Qi cultivation, although it had also been cultivated through ancient methods, it still fell somewhat short compared to his physical cultivation.

In the Stage Eight Realm, he had comprehended eight Mysteries, but his understanding of these Mysteries was uneven. For example, his grasp of the Mystery of weight in the Earth Dao was just at the introductory stage.

In the past, his perception of the Mysteries was simply to advance in Martial Arts and the Battle Qi Realm, not delving deeper into understanding them. Now, however, it was time to revisit and sort through them once more.

As it stood, with his current level of cultivation, he was not far from embarking on the kingly path. Completing the ninth layer of the Towering Realm and then stepping onto the path of kings represented a watershed for a warrior.

In the Desolate Wilds, warriors generally favored cultivating one Mystery and deriving corresponding Laws from it. There were also warriors who cultivated two Mysteries and derived Laws from them.

The more Mysteries one comprehended, the more Laws one could derive, naturally resulting in greater strength. The effort put in matched the benefits gained. However, even if one grasped multiple Mysteries, there was a limit. Those who truly chose to cultivate all nine Mysteries were exceedingly rare.

For all warriors, cultivating all nine Mysteries was akin to a dead end.

In the past, Xiao Chen had not seriously considered this issue until he stepped onto the God King Stage and sought enlightenment. Only then did this issue gain his attention.

Humm!

A hum sounded, and Xiao Chen’s hands emitted a brilliant sparkle, revealing a small arrow less than half a foot long.

It was the very Black Iron Arrow that the Divine Sky God King had finished in that temporal space, imbued with the nine Mysteries understood by the Divine Sky God King.

The existence of this small arrow was precisely what Xiao Chen found unfathomable. The space that had contained the residual soul of the Divine Sky God King had seemed like an illusory realm, yet he had somehow brought this small arrow out from it, an unexplainable phenomenon.

He was unable to discern whether that Illusion was real or a mere phantom.

In the end, he could only marvel at the profound power of the Divine Sky God King. Even in decay, the methods of the residual soul were beyond his imagination.

An ordinary Black Iron Arrow, infused with several Mysteries, transformed in strength qualitatively. Subsequently, after another round of forging, it came to contain nine Mysteries, ascending to the level of an artifact rivaling a half-king’s weapon.

Xiao Chen now grasped the reasoning within, a simple realization.

Just as the Divine Sky God King had said, comparing men to arrows showed how similar they were. A warrior’s body, like this Black Iron Arrow, served as a vessel for Mysteries.

The more Mysteries the body understood, the greater the power it wielded. To become stronger, one needed to understand more Mysteries, and to do so, a more robust physical body was essential to serve as the vessel. They naturally complemented each other!

The ancient body cultivation method paved the path to becoming an emperor, creating the strongest physical vessel!

The ancient method reaching up to the ninth stage of ascension brought together the most powerful fusion of Mysteries!

Even Xiao Chen speculated that today’s human race, being titled as God Kings due to their cultivation methods, could hardly emulate the Divine Sky God King’s act of challenging the heavens and claiming the imperial mantle even if they reached the peak of the supreme kings.

Because their own foundations did not reach the heights of the Divine Sky God King of the past, they naturally could not bear the explosive force that came with the fate of being titled.

Humm! Humm! Humm!

Inside Xiao Chen’s Soul Sea, colors continuously merged, the Soul Sea roaring tumultuously, with eight colors appearing faintly. These colors were the imprints of the Mysteries he had comprehended.

At the same time, Mysteries began to gather around his body, reflecting the Mystery imprints within his Soul Sea.

The pitch-black path of slaughter, imbued with dense killing intent, drew on the heaven and earth’s energy for killing. In fact, the denser the aura of slaughter was in a location, the more powerful the slaughter Mystery became.

The Mystery of slaughter was also the first Mystery that Xiao Chen had comprehended. He understood it shortly after advancing to the Blood Refining Realm, and later, through serendipity, his slaughter Mystery progressed by leaps and bounds to reach perfection.

Humm!

At this moment, the pitch-black Mystery emerged from the others that were barely visible, like a dark dragon. Under Xiao Chen’s control, it began to spiral together.

Xiao Chen wished to solidify it, to perfect the Mystery, to derive the Law. Once the Law was established, the king would be made.

To step from a Mystery to a Law seemed like a single stride, yet the path was fraught with insurmountable difficulties.

In reality, wishing to evolve a Mystery to a Law in one fell swoop was nothing but a fantasy. It required a lengthy transformation to succeed.

During this period of a Mystery’s transformation into a Law, when the Mystery had not truly become a Law, it was referred to as a Pseudo-Law.

Xiao Chen was indeed attempting to transform the Mysteries of Slaughter he had comprehended into Pseudo-Laws, but, obviously, he had not succeeded.

As the pitch-black Dao track of slaughter compressed, it only sustained itself for the duration of three breaths before the mysterious Dao track shattered, returning again into the Void.

Ultimately, Xiao Chen abandoned the idea of condensing it into a Pseudo-Law, beginning instead to sort through the eight Mysteries he had comprehended.

HummingSounding!

The sharp Mystery of the Golden Dao, its golden Dao tracks flickering faintly, was not yet perfect. Currently, he had only realized it to the peak of minor achievement.

The life-giving Mystery of the Wooden Dao, its green Dao tracks brimming with exuberant vitality, was likewise imperfect, but it was longer than that of the Golden Dao track.

Perhaps because Xiao Chen had cultivated the Golden Battle Body and taken the Ancient Body Cultivation road, with vigorous life energy and Blood Qi as vast as the sea, even though he had not deliberately comprehended it, the life-giving Mystery of the Wooden Dao still reached the major achievement stage.

The utmost softness of the Water Dao’s Mystery, its azure Dao tracks sparkling clearly, water being the softest yet able to overcome all things, the supreme good is like water, benefiting everything without contesting. He had comprehended the Mystery of Water’s utmost softness to the minor achievement stage.

The fiery Mystery of the Fire Dao, as red as the dawn, showed a complete trace of the Dao track. The Fire Dao had been fully comprehended by him, emitting a scorching and violent aura.

The weighty Mystery of the Earth Dao, profound yellow and vast, where terrain embodies virtue and bears all things, the entire Wilderness was composed of earth. This vast and weighty aura was emitted from just a half-tracked Dao track.

The speedy Mystery of the Wind Dao, with its light blue Dao track, seemed very light, continuously floating. Although the Wind Dao is outside the Dao of the Five Elements, it is still one of the fundamental Great Daos composing the entire Desolate Wilds.

Even though Xiao Chen was comprehending the Mysteries to imprint Martial Arts God Techniques for the purpose of advancing to the Battle Qi Realm, when he chose which Mysteries to comprehend, he did not do so at random. The Five Elements’ Dao of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are the basic Great Dao Laws forming the entire world.

In fact, apart from the Great Dao of the Five Elements, there is another saying in the Desolate Wilds that earth, water, wind, and fire are the four fundamental Mysteries. However, such debates have never ceased over the ancient years, and it all depends on each Warrior’s own understanding.

Yet, Xiao Chen comprehended all the Mysteries mentioned in these two sayings completely. Although they are basic, they are easier to understand compared to other, more obscure Great Daos, and they allow Warriors to better harmonize with the entire Desolate Lands.

Besides, there is the Mystery of Destruction of the Thunder Dao, the Purple Lightning Silver Light, punishing the wicked and eradicating demons, which he also comprehended to the fully achieved stage.

All eight great Mysteries gathered: three fully realized Mysteries and five further Mysteries to comprehend. There was still one last Mystery left for him to choose.

Now that he had decided to follow two ancient Cultivation paths, he naturally needed to solidify his Martial Arts foundation. With the Body Cultivation path, using Chaotic Airflow to forge his body, there was no need to worry, but he was concerned about the cultivation of the Battle Qi Mystery.

In that space-time, Xiao Chen saw the Yutian Tribe’s Warriors, whether men, women, young or old. Their control over the Mysteries was as flexible as their own limbs. In their hands, the Mysteries were no longer rigid—instead, it seemed as if they were united with them.

After failing to give rise to a Pseudo-Law, Xiao Chen attempted to sense the charm radiating from the surrounding Mysteries, trying to establish a connection with them.

However, now, Xiao Chen had just realized how wild his previous cultivation path had been. Although he had reached his current realm and even possessed a not weak combat strength through groping his way through, there were many drawbacks to it.

Prior to the Towering Realm, these drawbacks may not have been obvious, but once he steps on the road to becoming a King, these drawbacks would completely cut him off from advancing to the realm of the King, missing by a fraction but losing by a mile.

In the Soul Sea.

Within the Soul Sea, all eight Mysteries converged, representing his insights into various Mysteries. The Mysteries that gathered outside his body were also because of the insights in the Soul Sea that they gathered.

Destruction, Slaughter!

The two fully-realized Mysteries within the Soul Sea began to fuse with each other. Xiao Chen took a deep breath, having seen the fusion of Mysteries by the Yutian Tribe’s Warriors and even the fusion of nine Mysteries by the Divine Sky God King in that space-time, which made him realize the gap between them.

"Condense!"

Within the Soul Sea, a pitch-black Mystery Dao track and a streak of Purple Lightning Silver Light started to slowly fuse together. This was a deduction within his Soul Sea and not an actual mobilization of external Mysteries to merge.

Hum!

The two Mysteries merged halfway before almost instantly separating and collapsing, generating monstrous waves in the Soul Sea.

The fusion failed!

The fusion of Mysteries is a method for Warriors to increase their strength. Those whose paths in the Martial Arts have been severed all attempt to comprehend multiple Mysteries, then enhance their combat strength through the fusion of Mysteries.

Exhale!

Eventually, after a long while, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and dispersed the converging Mystery Dao tracks around him. Giving rise to Pseudo-Laws and merging Mysteries were still somewhat beyond his capabilities.

Releasing a long breath, Xiao Chen stopped forcing himself. He realized he had been too anxious, having been greatly shaken by his experience in that space-time illusion, and had lost his usual calmness.
