Snow Eagle Territory. On one of the peaks of Snowrock Mountain, Dongbo Xue Ying and Jing Qiu were taking a stroll together.
"Jing Qiu, you can go back first. Call me when it's time for dinner." Dongbo Xue Ying laughed.
"Mn." Jing Qiu laughed as she turned and left.
Seeing Jing Qiu's departing figure, Dongbo Xue Ying felt an invisible pressure lashing at his heart. He was enjoying his current life, but he had to protect it. He had to protect it from being destroyed.
'The demons are getting more and more arrogant. I have to quickly raise my strength and grasp the complete True Meaning.' Dongbo Xue Ying thought to himself. He stopped thinking about it and sat cross-legged on the ice-cold mountain peak. The pressure in his heart was tossed to the back of his mind, and all his thoughts were focused on the Profound Mysteries of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind. He had to first raise his Profound Mysteries before fusing them together.
Be it the embryonic form of the True Meaning of Extreme Piercing or the embryonic form of the True Meaning of Star, they were the result of fusing the Profound Mysteries of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind.
'Illusions.'
Dongbo Xue Ying thought to himself.
One could see six Xue Ying sitting cross-legged on the mountain peak soundlessly appearing at the same time.
The six black-robed Dongbo Xue Ying were all in deep thought.
'Back then, I relied on the Profound Mysteries of Water, Fire, and Wind to grasp the embryonic form of the True Meaning of Illusions.' Dongbo Xue Ying thought to himself, 'And when I fused the Profound Mysteries of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind … it actually didn't destroy the embryonic form of the True Meaning of Illusions. Instead, it became stronger. And it seems like the Profound Mysteries of Earth is of great help to the embryonic form of the True Meaning of Illusions.'
As he continued to ponder …
He realized that in the illusions … because of the Profound Mysteries of Earth, his own illusions seemed to have a 'soul'. There was a sort of stability, and it wasn't as pure as before.
Therefore, as Dongbo Xue Ying's understanding of the Profound Mysteries of Earth increased, he also constantly adjusted the fusion method of the four Profound Mysteries of the embryonic form of the True Meaning of Illusions.
At the start, Water, Fire, and Wind were the main three elements. The Profound Mysteries of the Earth were slowly and carefully integrated into it, for fear of destroying the embryonic form of this True Meaning. Even though he already had the embryonic forms of Extreme Piercing and Star, he still attached great importance to Dongbo Xue Ying's Illusion True Meaning. After all, the moment he grasped hold of the complete grade three True Meaning of Illusions, the threat he posed to his enemies would greatly increase.
However, as time passed, Dongbo Xue Ying realized that the Earth Profundity was no longer just a support to the True Meaning of Illusions. Instead, it was an extremely important part of it. Its importance had even surpassed Water, Fire, and Wind, becoming the most important.
Dongbo Xue Ying had been adjusting the fusion method of the Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind elements, striving to perfect the True Meaning of Illusions.
"This is —"
The six Dongbo Xue Ying's faces were suddenly filled with shock.
The six of them looked in all directions.
They could see the mountain peak that they were originally sitting cross-legged trembling. Countless mountain rocks were sent flying towards the mountain peak, causing the mountain peak to rapidly increase in size. The entire mountain peak was rapidly expanding …
"Mn?" The six Dongbo Xue Ying's raised their heads and looked towards the sky.
It was originally afternoon, but at this moment, dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky. Countless dark clouds rolled over and covered the entire sky, causing the entire world to become pitch-black.
Si la ~
The countless dark clouds were suddenly torn apart.
A huge hand pierced through the dark clouds, appearing in front of Dongbo Xue Ying.
The six Dongbo Xue Ying's stood up at the same time.
"Retreat," Dongbo Xue Ying said.
All the dark clouds had completely retreated.
That huge hand came down from the void, stopping right in front of Dongbo Xue Ying.
"Sunset, moon rise," Dongbo Xue Ying said again.
The sun in the sky was rapidly descending towards the west … and the moon was gradually rising.
"The ocean."
Dongbo Xue Ying smiled.
All of a sudden, countless waves surged over from afar, drowning the entire mountain range. The entire eastern side of Snowrock Mountain had turned into a boundless ocean. The waves were rolling, and some foam could be seen. The seawater gradually calmed down. Fishing boats could be seen on the surface of the ocean. Some seabirds could even be seen flying in the sky. A huge fish could be seen leaping out of the ocean.
"How mysterious," Dongbo Xue Ying muttered to himself.
Shua —
The huge hand, the boundless ocean, the huge mountains, the seabirds, the fishing boats, the dark night, the moon …
Everything disappeared!
Everything returned to its original state. It was still afternoon. Snowrock Mountain was still the same as before. The people in the distant Snowrock Castle were still living their lives, not noticing the previous commotion.
"Mirage?" Dongbo Xue Ying's heart was incomparably excited.
"The four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind can actually form the embryonic form of the Mirage." Dongbo Xue Ying was incomparably shocked.
The True Meaning of Mirage was a grade two True Meaning.
Furthermore, it was ranked at the bottom of all grade two True Meanings in terms of pure offensive power. Those who grasped hold of this grade two True Meaning could barely reach the threshold of a Demigod in terms of offensive power. One had to know that a Saint who grasped hold of a grade three True Meaning would be able to display the combat power of a Demigod, and their offensive power would be slightly stronger than the True Meaning of Mirage.
But it was a grade two True Meaning!
The higher the level of a True Meaning, the harder it was to improve. As a legendary True Meaning, its offensive power was weaker than a grade three True Meaning?
But to many experts, they would rather meet someone who grasped hold of other grade two True Meanings than an enemy who grasped hold of the True Meaning of Mirage.
What was the Mirage?
The contrast between reality and illusion!
The world of normal living, this was the real world! And on the other side of the real world … there was a corresponding illusory world! In other words, the Mirage!
The Mirage was a world of its own.
It could be said to be the source of all illusory techniques! No illusory technique could surpass the Mirage of Mirage. Once this True Meaning was mastered, it would be able to control the illusory world. Within the illusory world, everything could be done as one wished. Other than that … there were many other strange and powerful aspects to it.
"Right now, I have only grasped hold of the embryonic form of the True Meaning of Mirage." Dongbo Xue Ying was shocked. "And yet, it is already so unfathomable."
At the embryonic form stage.
He could create unfathomable illusory techniques! Changing the world was an easy task for him.
"Stealthily, he could cause the enemy to fall into an illusory technique without them knowing. Then, he could take their lives. " Dongbo Xue Ying muttered, "I've heard that experts who have grasped hold of the True Meaning of Mirage can hide within the Mirage … and their enemies would not be able to find their true bodies."
That's right.
Experts who had grasped hold of the True Meaning of Mirage had very weak offensive capabilities.
But it was extremely difficult to find their true bodies! Back then, the grade two True Meanings left behind by the Deity World had very vague records regarding the True Meaning of Mirage. It was only because the ancestors of the Xia people had passed down many secret messages. One of them was related to the True Meaning of Mirage. An expert who had grasped hold of the True Meaning of Mirage would not need to use his true body to kill within the Mirage!
Thus, he would not need to use his true body to kill. How difficult would it be to find his true body?
Even if he were to hide within the Mirage, his enemies would not be able to find him. Because his enemies were in the real world, without any methods to attack the Mirage, they would not be able to harm those who walked within the Mirage.
"I originally wanted to perfect the True Meaning of Mirage, but who would have thought that after fusing with the Profound Mystery of Earth, and even using the Profound Mystery of Earth as the main one! Not only did I not destroy it, I even allowed it to improve, allowing me to grasp the embryonic form of the True Meaning of Mirage? "Dongbo Xue Ying was shocked.
Fusing them was an extremely difficult task.
Just the fusion of the Profound Mysteries of Water and Fire was enough to trap many people. Three was even more heaven-defying, let alone four. Even the Profound Mystery of Earth could be divided into many aspects. Just the path of the Earth was sufficient for one to cultivate to become a Deity. Dongbo Xue Ying had chosen the aspect of the Earth's ability to bear and contain. This was precisely what his spear techniques required.
He had chosen the four different aspects of the Profound Mysteries of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind.
As the saying went, 'A flower planted intentionally will not bloom, but a willow planted unintentionally will grow into shade.'
However, when cultivators pursued the so-called powerful True Meaning of 'a flower planted intentionally', if the flower bloomed … that would be a real joke! As for 'a willow planted unintentionally', was it really 'unintentional'?
...
Having grasped hold of three embryonic forms of grade two True Meanings, Dongbo Xue Ying understood that if he were to be exposed, the Demonic Faction, demons, and others would not hesitate to pay any price to eliminate him. After all, he was only a single step away from grasping the complete True Meaning! Currently, he was at his weakest. After grasping hold of the embryonic form of the True Meaning of Mirage, Dongbo Xue Ying had the confidence of surviving a battle against a rank five demon.
But against a Demigod, he was still much weaker.
Thus, he had to endure!
As for the embryonic forms of the True Meaning of Star and True Meaning of Mirage, Dongbo Xue Ying did not tell anyone else! He had to minimize the possibility of this secret being leaked.
