Every time he failed, he would summarize his experience and try to comprehend it again. After comprehending the cultivation technique that he believed to be the most promising, he would try it again with confidence. However, the black gourd in front of him remained unmoved. The terrifying might contained within it easily incinerated the energy that he sent in. After failing time and time again, thousands of failures, even Dongbo Xue Ying started to feel anxious.
He had tried many methods. In fact, he did not even summarize his experience and simply tried to comprehend it randomly. He would comprehend one technique after another and try to 'guess'. Who knew, maybe he would be right? He spent three months to comprehend more than 2,000 cultivation techniques. However, all of them ended up in failure.
"Hu."
Dongbo Xue Ying exhaled deeply. A mountain in front of him was directly destroyed by the air current he exhaled. Violent hurricanes formed in the surroundings. Fortunately, in order to prevent any disturbances, there were no humans within 50,000 kilometers of him. Even if there were people who used to live here, they would be teleported away by Dongbo Xue Ying using his Mirage Dao.
After calming himself down, Dongbo Xue Ying turned and returned to his bamboo house.
He sat cross-legged in the bamboo house and poured himself a cup of precious fruit wine. After savoring it, he finally regained his composure.
"I definitely can't continue like this." Dongbo Xue Ying thought to himself, "I have already failed thousands of times. Even if I were to continue comprehending these techniques in the remaining two years, I would most likely fail again."
"Perhaps I have been thinking wrongly all this while."
Dongbo Xue Ying closed his eyes.
Within his sea of consciousness, there were still countless runes flashing. These runes formed a complete cultivation technique.
"Every rune is filled with endless profoundness. If I were to completely comprehend a single rune, it would take me a very long time. Comprehending those countless runes once would take far more than five years. " Dongbo Xue Ying thought to himself. "Therefore, I instinctively rejected this method. I have always been worried that I do not have enough time. Five years is too short. Therefore, I would only try to comprehend every single rune, combining the profoundness of the runes to comprehend the entire cultivation technique." Dongbo Xue Ying sensed the countless runes. "Perhaps I should focus on one rune."
"The first character."
Dongbo Xue Ying used all of his consciousness to sense the first rune of this technique.
The symbol's radiance flickered, fluctuating, incomparably profound.
Dongbo Xue Ying studied the runes attentively, comprehending all the ripples and mysteries contained in the runes. Gradually, he gained some understanding in his heart, and in the end, he managed to form a technique of his own.
"He can actually form a technique after thoroughly comprehending a single character?" Dongbo Xue Ying opened his eyes in shock. However, it did take a long time for him to fully comprehend a single rune. It took him a full three months! At this rate, he would only be able to comprehend seven more characters in less than two years.
"Let's see if I can control the Black Gourd." Dongbo Xue Ying waved his hand and the Black Gourd appeared on the table once more.
He willed it.
Immediately, a white character formed from luminous sun force flew out. However, it was different from the large number of characters in the past. This time, only a single character was formed. However, this character was clearly much larger and more profound.
When the rune flew into the black gourd, it was silently incinerated by the terrifying power within.
"I failed?" Dongbo Xue Ying was startled.
"I don't have any other methods. Let's continue." Dongbo Xue Ying closed his eyes. Having failed thousands of times previously, he kept the Black Gourd and continued to comprehend the second character.
The second character was also flickering, emitting mysterious ripples.
He studied it carefully.
The more he comprehended, the more he realized that there were many similarities between the second character and the first character. After all, it was the same type of character. Thus, the speed of his comprehension was much faster. In just a month, he had completely comprehended the second character.
"There seems to be a mistake in my comprehension of the first character?" After Dongbo Xue Ying comprehended the second character, he started to have doubts about his comprehension of the first character. He immediately modified it and formed a brand new technique.
"Weng."
When he executed this technique, a white character was formed as well. However, it still failed to enter the Black Gourd.
…
Dongbo Xue Ying had failed on the first path. Right now, he had already decided on the second path. After all, he had no other choice.
He spent twenty days on the third character. He realized that there were still some mistakes in his comprehension. He tried to modify it again, but to no avail.
He spent fifteen days on the fourth character.
He spent twelve days on the fifth character.
He spent eleven days on the sixth character.
He spent ten days on the seventh character.
He spent ten days on the eighth character.
…
Every single time, Xue Ying would alter his original comprehension. Even though he would always fail in forming the white characters, he had an indescribable feeling that he had found the correct path, and that he was nearing success in modifying the technique.
One must know.
In the first three years, he had comprehended a new technique. He had comprehended thousands of techniques, but they were all wrong.
Now that he was studying each character, he was able to comprehend the same technique. However, there seemed to be some mistakes and he had to modify them.
*****
A thick layer of snow covered the entire mountain range, including the mountain peak where Xue Ying was cultivating in seclusion.
Dongbo Xue Ying pushed open the bamboo door, pushing the snow away.
Stepping on the thick snow, he left behind deep footprints. He walked to the cliff and sat down cross-legged. He sat on the soft snow and closed his eyes to continue comprehending. He was already used to comprehending the techniques left behind by the Voidwalkers. However, he would often change his location. Sometimes, he would go to the lake at the foot of the mountain. Sometimes, he would sit on a thick ancient tree branch. However, most of the time, he would stay in the bamboo house or the cliff.
"The fifty-first character …"
Dongbo Xue Ying sensed the golden characters that appeared in his sea of consciousness. He was trying to comprehend the fifty-first character.
This time, it was much shorter. He finished comprehending it in eight days. He then made some slight modifications to the technique that he had comprehended.
"That's right."
Dongbo Xue Ying waved his hand. The Black Gourd appeared on top of the snow. Following which, his luminous sun force flew out and condensed into a character. When the character was condensed, it was white. Suddenly, a formless ripple flowed within the character. As the ripple flowed, the character's color changed rapidly. First, it turned pale gold. Then, it turned golden.
A golden character floated in front of him.
Dongbo Xue Ying was stunned. His heartbeat quickened. This was the first time such a strange scene had appeared. He was filled with anticipation. This time, it might be different.
"Hu."
The golden character seeped into the Black Gourd. "Weng ~" It was as though a key had been inserted into the keyhole. The original spirit designs within the Black Gourd immediately began to circulate. A formless energy started to form, enveloping and controlling the incomparably hot 'fireball' within the Black Gourd. The size of this' fireball 'was extremely huge. It was comparable to the Sun Star. Its power was also incomparably strong. The flames it emitted contained a destructive power. However, the formless energy within the Black Gourd had completely enveloped this' fireball '. No matter how strong the fireball was, it was unable to incinerate this formless energy.
"So heavy." Dongbo Xue Ying could feel the incomparably heavy weight of this fireball. In fact, the formless pressure had even seeped into his True Deity Heart, causing it to tremble slightly.
It was like a weak child trying to lift a stone lock. It was too heavy.
The difference between their levels was too great.
It was too strenuous to control it!
However, Dongbo Xue Ying had a feeling that if he were to forcefully control it, he should be able to control a strand of this terrifying 'fireball'. This was already the limit that his True Deity Heart could withstand. Even if it was just a strand of energy, it would be sufficient to instantly kill him.
"Congratulations, congratulations. You have finally comprehended the technique to control a protective treasure. I'm getting anxious. If you fail, I would have to wait again. I really wonder how many epochs I would have to wait for the next one with potential." The child wearing the red dudou appeared on top of the Black Gourd. The red dudou child was extremely happy.
