Free Web NovelChapter 2012: Chapter 2098: On the Power of Taoist Skills and Laws
Chen Nan’s face changed slightly; Jiang Yan had merely injected a stream of power into his body, yet he felt two distinct sensations on either side of his body.
Inside his body, one side was extremely cold while the other was scorching hot.
Sweat appeared on Chen Nan’s forehead as he stared blankly at the cook.
With his current strength, even encountering a Super Supreme wouldn’t make him feel so powerless.
"Senior!" Chen Nan spoke up.
Jiang Yan smiled slightly, gently shook his head, and gestured for him not to speak.
After a long time, he finally lowered his hand, "The foundation of the Five Elements Power within your body isn’t weaker than mine. I was born with strong water and fire among the five elements and later cultivated ’Kui Water True Technique’ and ’Samadhi True Fire.’ After countless years, I’ve achieved today’s accomplishments. Although you are influenced after birth, you are naturally a five elements genius. It’s strange, however, that your Five Elements Power is so strong yet you haven’t comprehended the corresponding laws. It’s truly puzzling."
"Comprehending laws?" Chen Nan frowned slightly, "It’s said that the laws comprehended even by late-stage Supreme and top Supreme are incredibly powerful, capable of maximizing combat strength."
Jiang Yan nodded, "Indeed, you can also comprehend laws, but as to why you haven’t, I think I’ve figured it out. Your Five Elements Power keeps mutually supporting, forming a balance within your body."
Chen Nan was shocked; the mutual support among the five elements provided him with a continuous source of power and a foundation for change during battles, but unexpectedly now it was one of the reasons hindering his comprehension of laws.
"What should I do to comprehend such laws?"
Chen Nan vaguely speculated that the gap between him and Supreme Kings wasn’t just a difference in strength, but perhaps also in laws; however, with his current strength, he couldn’t capture the opponent’s laws.
"Heh, that’s something you need to understand on your own. I can’t tell you, or it would affect your laws. Your achievements are destined to surpass mine; masters who grasp gold, wood, water, fire, and earth laws are few and far between even in the White Clan Domain."
Chen Nan was once again shocked; he originally thought he was the only person in the world able to master the Five Elements Power, but unexpectedly, according to the main chef at the Heavenly Food Pavilion, there were others in the Hundred Clan Domain.
"Could it be that in the Outer Domain, besides me, there are other holders of the Chaos Sacred Body?" Chen Nan was astonished.
In the Four Extremes World, his Chaos Sacred Body was unique, but in the Outer Domain, where there were more experts, perhaps there truly were holders of the Chaos Sacred Body.
Though shocked, Chen Nan remained composed; Jiang Yan was powerful, and although he helped clarify some doubts, he hadn’t reached the level where he could be fully trusted.
"Let’s take it as your kind words then," Chen Nan laughed heartily.
His gaze drifted towards the iron pot; initially it appeared to be just an iron pot, but on the second look, inexplicably, he saw two worlds within it.
One was a world of water, and the other a world of fire.
Although two worlds of water and fire should have formed a balance, the collision of their powers not only didn’t weaken but strengthened each other, growing increasingly powerful.
"That’s strange. This water-fire Dual World should have formed a balance, but this lack of balance continuously strengthens each side, resembling the theory of survival of the fittest from Heavenly Dao Laws, where the strong grow stronger."
Thinking to himself, Chen Nan looked at the iron pot again but found it unchanged.
He muttered to himself, as a strange look flashed across Jiang Yan’s eyes.
This young man gave him a peculiar feeling, especially when he whispered a few words just now.
Pursuing strength in imbalance.
When he comprehended laws back then, he spent hundreds of years on this theory.
In a mountain cave, he sat through hundreds of years in the blink of an eye.
He looked at this young man in front of him, his eyes widened a bit, soon chuckled self-deprecatingly, thinking to himself, "How is it possible? How could there be such an evil genius in the world?"
Jiang Yan instantly dismissed the thought.
When the iron pot returned to normal, within the Void Illusion Realm in Chen Nan’s Sea of Consciousness, a brilliant light flashed over the sun in that world.
Simultaneously, the Holy Bone Relic in Chen Nan’s brow emitted a warm sensation.
"It seems the Bone Relics helped me see through the mysteries of that massive iron pot at a critical moment; this iron pot should be the Ultimate Holy Weapon."
Chen Nan made an instant judgment in his heart.
He had long noticed the pot’s peculiarity, yet realizing it was an Ultimate Holy Weapon still left him astounded.
"Chen Nan, what are you zoning out for? You take your time in comprehension; for these past decades, nothing major has happened, I’ll be here at the Heavenly Food Pavilion.
Jiang Yan said his last words, seemingly intending to dismiss him.
In his view, a simple hint had trapped this junior in a predicament, from which he likely wouldn’t emerge for some time.
Raw jade is good jade, but it’s been dust-covered for too long.
Even meeting the best craftsman, it’s difficult to restore its inherent brilliance, fading into the crowd.
Chen Nan smiled slightly and bid farewell to Jiang Yan.
He left Heavenly Food Pavilion with Man Wuji and the others; no one acted curious, and Black Feathered Chicken maintained a pensive expression.
It seemed to savor the previous delicacy still.
That meal there was enough for him to digest over a month and comprehend its true meaning.
Chen Nan and the others just exited Heavenly Food Pavilion.
In the distance, Ziyi elder and two Supremes appeared in succession.
Each one with a gaze carrying killing aura.
"Nanchen, you caused our brothers to lose their bodies back then, but ended up allowing us to gain two Supreme shells, directly promoting to the Supreme Realm. In hindsight, we should thank you."
As these two Supremes spoke, their Supreme Sacred Weapon simultaneously attacked Chen Nan from both sides.
"You dare to act inside the city, aren’t you afraid of the law?"
Chen Nan was dumfounded, staring at the two Supreme First Layer Heaven individuals. At that time, when he was at the Heavenly Monarch Realm, he could easily kill such characters; now... it seemed long since he’d encountered anyone so fearless.
"We are the law, hahaha. Elder Li is our Heavenly People Clan’s Hanlin Academy’s Chief Grand Scholar, already reaching the Super Supreme Realm. In Yellow Wind City, he’s a guest of honor at the City Lord’s mansion, entrusted with its protection. Killing you not only doesn’t violate laws, but it might even earn battle merit by capturing your Star Domain bandit heads."
"So, you’re killing innocents for merit, impressive indeed," Chen Nan chuckled.
Looking at the two Heavenly People’s Supremes attacking him, not only was he unafraid, but a faint smile played on his lips.
