Over the next half a month, Cheng Hao engaged in a frenzy of challenges. One of them even had the combat power of a peak Middle-stage World God and was able to suppress Cheng Hao. In the end, Cheng Hao used his boundless life force to grind him to the brink of insanity and forced him to admit defeat.
The cultivators of the Astral Islands were extremely lacking in cultivation resources. Every bit of divine power they could conserve was worth it. For a madman like Cheng Hao who didn't care about energy consumption at all, no one was willing to fight him to the death!
Half a month later, Cheng Hao was able to collect all of the Gale Legacy. It could only be said that he was quite lucky. This legacy was so weak that he didn't really care about it, and so he didn't encounter any particularly strong competitors.
However, Lin Xi, who was collecting the Weakwater Legacy, was caught in a tough battle. This legacy was ranked higher than the Gale Legacy, and even some of the cultivators of the second layer of the Astral Islands were collecting it. It would be very difficult for anyone to collect all of this legacy in a short period of time.
Cheng Hao wasn't in a hurry to collect all of this. After branding the techniques recorded in the Gale Legacy into his Primordial Spirit, he immediately issued a challenge to Lin Xi through a jade slip.
Buzz!
Space began to twist and distort. Lin Xi accepted the challenge, and the two of them disappeared from their respective islands, reappearing in a world filled with blue seas.
Stepping on the blue waters, the two of them chatted for a while about what had happened during this period of time. Afterwards, Cheng Hao chose to admit defeat and handed the Gale Legacy over to Lin Xi.
"I can put off collecting the Weakwater Legacy for a while. Let me finish training in the Gale Legacy first. It won't be too late to collect it after I've grown stronger!"
Cheng Hao knew very well that given Lin Xi's talent and comprehension ability, she would definitely be able to train in the Gale Legacy much faster than he could. Perhaps by the time he finished, Lin Xi would have collected all of the Weakwater Legacy as well.
Lin Xi nodded. She didn't say anything. With a flicker of her body, she disappeared into the void.
Cheng Hao sighed. This girl was still as cold as ever. It really wasn't easy to hear words of concern from her.
.....
On Star Island, Cheng Hao sat cross-legged in the void.
At this moment, his entire body had turned into a green translucent shadow. Endless gales swept around him, wrapping him up and scouring his translucent body again and again.
Cheng Hao closed his eyes and used the Gale Art again and again. He fused himself into the Laws of Wind and used this to comprehend the ethereal mysteries of wind.
The speed of the wind, the sharpness of the wind, the violence of the wind, the piercing of the wind …
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Cheng Hao's body fell from the sky, directly withdrawing from the state where he had just merged with the Law of Wind.
"No wonder the high-level experts of the Gale Inheritance are unwilling to collect it. To them, it is indeed of little value!"
The Gale Legacy cultivation method had two obvious flaws. One was that the Wind Law could only be integrated for an hour. After an hour, it would be expelled, and one could only continue to circulate the cultivation method to integrate it back in.
To the vast majority of cultivators, an hour was most likely enough for them to begin to comprehend the Laws of Wind before they would be expelled. This sort of interrupted state of comprehension was quite unbearable.
If that was all, it wouldn't be such a big deal. At most, they would just waste a bit more time. However, the other flaw was something that not even supreme Fifth Stage World-level experts would be willing to accept.
Every time they cultivated, they would have to use up divine power to activate the Gale Art. Even after they had fused it into the Laws of Wind and were in a meditative state, they would still have to use up divine power.
This was especially true when one was in a meditative state. The rate at which divine power was being used up would increase dramatically. Normally speaking, every half an hour of cultivation would use up a bottle of chaos nectar. This sort of consumption rate was something that even supreme World-level cultivators would find hard to endure. Rather than wasting resources on the Gale Legacy, they might as well collect other legacies that were ranked higher.
To others, this sort of consumption of divine power would be completely unbearable. However, to Cheng Hao, this wasn't a problem at all. Within the ten thousand insight acupoints in his body, the Divinities within them were constantly accumulating divine power. To him, divine power was virtually inexhaustible. He wasn't worried about using it up at all.
"Heh heh. Fortunately, there are so many flaws. This is a great advantage for me. Otherwise, there's no way I would've been able to collect this legacy so easily!"
Chuckling to himself, Cheng Hao flew into the air, then once more sat down in the lotus position. He continued to circulate the Gale Art, transforming his body into the wind. Amidst the wild winds, he merged himself into the ripples of the Laws of Wind and began to meditate on the various mysteries of the Laws of Wind.
Time slowly flowed on. During this period of time, aside from training in the Gale Legacy, Cheng Hao had also challenged several other cultivators. He had collected a few dozen fragments of the Yi Wood Legacy from them, then didn't go out again. Instead, he focused on meditating on the Laws of Wind.
There was no end to the years of cultivation. In the blink of an eye, fifty years had quietly passed.
"My comprehension ability really isn't that great. With this Gale Legacy Art, I can merge myself into the ripples of the Laws of Wind to comprehend the mysteries of wind. Currently, I've only comprehended nine of the ten mysteries. The last one will probably take me at least twenty years to comprehend!"
Cheng Hao felt somewhat helpless. This Gale Legacy Art was equivalent to a cheat for comprehending the Laws of Wind. Even so, with his comprehension ability, he would still need seventy to eighty years to comprehend all ten mysteries of the Laws of Wind to perfection. If he didn't have this Legacy Art, with his comprehension ability, it would probably take him over ten thousand years, or even longer, to comprehend all ten mysteries of the Laws of Wind to perfection.
Cheng Hao sighed. The path of cultivation was indeed more difficult the further one went.
Compared to fusing ten mysteries of the Laws of Wind to condense a Dao Seed, simply comprehending all ten mysteries to perfection was much simpler. Even so, Cheng Hao felt mentally exhausted, not to mention the other bitter cultivators who didn't have any cheats to use.
"At this rate, it will take me at least a hundred thousand years to completely fuse all ten mysteries of the Laws of Lightning or the Laws of Fire and condense them into a Dao Seed. That's too much time. It seems that if I have the chance in the future, I'll have to comprehend some Laws of Time!"
After comprehending the Laws of Time, he could set up some time acceleration arrays. Inside the arrays, time would pass quickly, but in the outside world, time would pass slowly. This way, he could increase the time he spent in seclusion. After all, the time he could spend in each world was limited. Seclusion for cultivation was truly a waste of time.
Just as Cheng Hao lamented the difficulty of cultivation and was preparing to activate the Gale Legacy Art to comprehend the Laws of Dao, the jade slip suddenly transmitted a message of challenge from Lin Xi.
"Challenge? Could it be that Lin Xi has already comprehended all the Laws of Wind? Or could it be that … she has even collected the Weak Water Legacy? "
