Chapter 2969: The Earth Element

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Black Rock Prison Method was an earth-type King Grade Celestial Method. It contained the Gravitational Space Profundity that was the most important law of earth. The combination of Gravitational Space Profundity and the Earth Elemental Profundity would form an independent space made out of black rocks to imprison people. At the same time, the caster would be able to control the gravity through the Gravitational Space Profundity in the independent space.

In order to master the Black Rock Prison Method, one must first comprehend the Earth Elemental Profundity and the Gravitational Space Profundity. The Earth Elemental Profundity was a Fundamental Profundity. King Grade Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities usually had the corresponding element’s Fundamental Profundity. Therefore, King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities were also regarded as the law of fundamentals. If one did not comprehend and master a King Grade Celestial Method and Divine Ability, it would be impossible to comprehend Royal Grade and Emperor Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities in the future. This is because Royal Grade and Emperor Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities did not contain Fundamental Profundities. Therefore, it was absolutely necessary for one to comprehend the Fundamental Profundity of a certain elemental law from a King Grade Celestial Method and Divine Ability.

“Boy, I’m a third-form Chaos Divine Earth. With my help, you will comprehend the profundities of the law of earth ten times faster than other people… However, the profundities of the law of earth I mentioned don’t include the Earth Elemental Profundity,” the Chaos Divine Earth said just as Duan Ling Tian was preparing to comprehend the Black Rock Prison Method’s law of earth.

Duan Ling Tian who was sitting with his legs crossed and eyes closed frowned when he heard the Chaos Divine Earth’s words. “What do you mean? Are you saying that you won’t be able to help me comprehend the Fundamental Profundity of the law of earth, the Earth Elemental Profundity?”

“Of course not! I meant to say it’s different from the profundities I mentioned.” The childish voice of the Divine Chaos Earth rang again. It said arrogantly, “I can help you comprehend it overnight! Please bear in mind that normally it would take someone with a high level of understanding about three to five years to comprehend a Fundamental Profundity without help. For those with a weaker understanding, it’d take them at least decades or even centuries! There are even people who are unable to comprehend or master it at all despite trying their entire lives…”

“Comprehend it overnight?” Duan Ling Tian’s heart thumped. Did this mean the Chaos Divine Earth would be able to help him comprehend the Earth Elemental Profundity before the commencement of the Imperial auction tomorrow? He asked skeptically, “Comprehend the Earth Elemental Profundity overnight… Are you kidding?”

The Chaos Divine Earth scoffed, clearly displeased with Duan Ling Tian. “Why would I be kidding? You’ll know by the break of dawn. Now, relax! Empty your thoughts and let your Divine Consciousness wander. I’ll guide it to the earth element in this world. During that time, all you need to do is sense whatever comes to you and feel their characteristics. After you’ve familiarized yourself with the earth element, you’ll be able to merge it with your Celestial Origin Energy. At that time, the power of your attack will increase tremendously!”

Duan Ling Tian began to follow the instructions given by the Chaos Divine Earth. He felt nothing initially when he cleared his mind of distracting thoughts. After a dozen breaths had passed, he felt his Divine Consciousness effortlessly entered the depths of earth. After that, he could acutely feel the vibrations in the distance through his Divine Consciousness.

‘Is this caused by the Divine Chaos Earth?’

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian heard a vibration that resembled the rhythmic beat of a human’s heart.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Suddenly, the beat grew louder and increased in speed, It sounded as though tens of thousands of horses were stampeding across the ground!

The vibration was unpredictable as it constantly changed tempo.

During this process, Duan Ling Tian discovered his Divine Consciousness had become one with earth. He could feel the buildings, humans, flora and fauna, Celestial Beasts, and other life forms. He could also feel the lofty mountains and mountain ranges that were deeply integrated with the earth.

Duan Ling Tian completely lost track of time. He was immersed in familiarizing himself with the earth element. He realized the earth was not only the soil that nurtured the trees and plants, but even rocks that took tens of thousands of years to form into mountains were part of it.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Consciousness suddenly shot out of the ground into the air. To his surprise, he discovered even the air was filled with the earth element. It felt soothing, comforting, and warm.

‘So, this is the earth element?’

At the break of dawn, the sun rose and shone through the window into Duan Ling Tian’s eyes when he opened them. He wasted no time in mobilizing his Celestial Origin Energy. The void shook, and he saw streaks of earthy-yellow lights shining in his Celestial Origin Energy. All of a sudden, his Celestial Origin Energy turned completely earthy-yellow before it twined itself around his body like a python.

‘My Celestial Origin Energy has become so powerful after fusing with the earth element…’ Duan Ling Tian cried out inwardly.

After obtaining the earth-type King Grade Celestial Method, the Black Rock Prison Method, Duan Ling Tian gained a deeper understanding of the difference between King Grade Celestial Methods and Celestial Methods below the King Grade. After one had mastered a King Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability, it was still possible to use a lower grade technique. For example, the Earth Elemental Profundity was a Fundamental Profundity of the law of earth; it was not a technique. After Duan Ling Tian had incorporated the earth element into his Celestial Origin Energy, he was still capable of using methods he had used in the past to its greatest potential because they were not in conflict.

‘With my current strength, I’ll be able to defeat Jia Long with a single blow without having to rely on the powers granted by the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon!’

Previously, Duan Ling Tian had relied on the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon to defeat Huang Jia Long. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to best Huang Jia Long. However, now that his strength had increased after comprehending the Fundamental Profundity of the law of earth, he was confident he could defeat Huang Jia Long with a single strike without any external help!

‘That genius sectless cultivator from the East Ming Nation is only a Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, and yet, he’s invincible among those who are weaker than Celestial Dukes. It’s likely that he has also mastered the power of a law. Initially, I couldn’t fathom how strong he is after mastering a law. However, now I understand. After one has comprehended the Fundamental Profundity of a law and merged it with one’s Celestial Origin Energy, one would be able to easily defeat those weaker than Celestial Dukes. Nevertheless, the genius’ comprehension level is really high. He’s not even 100 years old, and he has already mastered the power of a law. It’s definitely not an ordinary feat,’ Duan Ling Tian mused inwardly.

At this moment, the Chaos Divine Earth said arrogantly in its childish voice, “Boy, do you still doubt me?”

“No, of course not,” Duan Ling Tian replied lightly, “However, does this means if I obtain a fire-type King Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability, the Chaos Divine Flame would also be capable of helping me to comprehend the Fundamental Profundity of the law of fire overnight?”

“This…” The Divine Chaos Earth hesitated to complete its sentence. It knew the Chaos Divine Flame was capable of doing so.

At this moment, the Chaos Divine Flame said arrogantly in its ancient voice, “If you obtain a fire-type King Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability, I’ll be able to help you comprehend the Fundamental Profundity of the law of fire, the Fire Elemental Profundity, within three hours.”
