Chapter 588: Chapter 532: Guidance from the King of Mountains and Rivers

As the King of Mountains and Rivers spoke, an invisible force surged forth. Illusions of mountains and rivers materialized, and the Power of Realm flooded the entire Martial Arts Room.

WHOOSH!!

A howling gale formed, and Lin Qi saw towering, massive mountains and endlessly flowing rivers.

Mu Hong, standing nearby, was also watching. He too was a disciple of the King of Mountains and Rivers and had come today for guidance.

Although he had recently achieved Tier Five Spear Technique, he wasn’t that much more advanced than Lin Qi.

He was no longer able to guide Lin Qi, who now had to rely on the King of Mountains and Rivers.

A spectral image of mountains and rivers appeared behind the King of Mountains and Rivers, and Lin Qi felt their power pressing down on him.

He slowly said,

"Tier Five Spear Technique is Domain. You must construct your own."

"Within this Domain, your opponent’s strength will be suppressed, and they may even be attacked directly."

"Meanwhile, your own strength will be greatly enhanced."

"As they weaken and you strengthen, it will effectively help you defeat your opponents."

"However, comprehending a Domain is not easy. It’s even more difficult than breaking through to the Eighth Realm."

"To reach the Eighth Realm, one can use things like Blood Ganoderma, Dragon Blood Grass, or Blood Spirit Potions for a chance to transform the physical body and break through."

"But the difficulty of mastering a Domain is exceptionally high."

Lin Qi nodded to himself. ’Every step in improving one’s Martial Arts Skills is exceptionally difficult.’

The King of Mountains and Rivers said,

"Our Xia Country doesn’t lack Eighth Realm Martial Artists, but we have many whose Martial Arts Skills are stuck at Tier Four!"

"Take Liu Jing, for example. Although he has already broken through to the Eighth Realm, he’s still stuck at Tier Four Swordsmanship."

"It might take him a very long time to break through!"

"As for your master, he’s an exception."

"His Comprehension is even greater than his Cultivation Talent. As long as he has enough resources, he can continue to improve indefinitely!"

Lin Qi looked at his master, Mu Hong, agreeing with the King of Mountains and Rivers’ assessment.

As soon as his master, Mu Hong, broke through to the Eighth Realm, his Spear Technique quickly reached Tier Five.

In comparison, Dean Liu was lagging far behind.

’He’s a Spiritual Mind Master, which should make him better at comprehending skills, yet he can’t compare to Master Mu Hong. The gap in their Comprehension is just too wide.’

The King of Mountains and Rivers began to demonstrate the Mountain and River Spear Technique.

In his hands, the Spear Technique flowed seamlessly, without a single flaw.

He had created it himself, and it was the Spear Technique that suited him best.

Lin Qi activated his [Golden Eyes] to watch the King of Mountains and Rivers perform the Spear Technique.

He was incredibly familiar with this set of Spear Technique, but in the hands of the King of Mountains and Rivers, it exuded an entirely different aura.

Various abilities like Super Vision, Energy Vision, and X-ray Vision activated all at once.

He saw through the King of Mountains and Rivers’ body, clearly perceiving the vibrational frequency of his form, the trajectory of his energy’s movement, and the mobilized Power of Realm.

All the hidden secrets of the Mountain and River Spear Technique were laid bare.

As the King of Mountains and Rivers demonstrated the Spear Technique, he instructed,

"Tier Four is for cultivating the Mental Realm; Tier Five is for cultivating the Domain!"

"Comprehend the Power of Nature, master your Cell Power, and let your Life Energy Field undergo a metamorphosis."

"This is the essence of the Spear Technique!"

"You need to gather and compress the Power of Realm into a single point, then let it erupt, undergo a complete sublimation, and transform into a Domain!"

"The moment you break through, you will feel as if the whole world has suddenly opened up to you."

Hearing this, Lin Qi felt a flash of insight!

His mind raced as a flood of realizations washed over him.

Lin Qi’s eyes lit up. He instantly saw the path to his breakthrough.

A restless energy stirred within him; he felt himself getting closer and closer to breaking through.

WHOOSH!!

A moment later, the King of Mountains and Rivers finished his demonstration, sending gusts of wind across Lin Qi’s and Mu Hong’s faces.

The King of Mountains and Rivers looked at Lin Qi and slowly said,

"Truthfully, while the Metal Attribute can be integrated into the Mountain and River Realm..."

"...it is ultimately not the most suitable."

"Only the Earth Attribute and Water Attribute are truly compatible with the Mountain and River Spear Technique!"

"Your Metal Attribute falls a little short!"

"Honestly, you should specialize in a Spear Technique Secret Manual that is based on the Metal Attribute!"

"However, a Five-star rated, Mental Realm Level Spear Technique Secret Manual for the Metal Attribute doesn’t exist yet!"

"For you to be able to cultivate the Mountain and River Spear Technique while in the Seventh Realm and still defeat Gu Jian... I can only say your Talent is truly formidable!"

The King of Mountains and Rivers couldn’t help but sigh, his tone tinged with a hint of regret.

Lin Qi wasn’t bothered. "The difference isn’t that significant. The Mountain and River Spear Technique is already the top spear technique in our Xia Country."

This was what he truly thought. ’After I completely master the Advanced Spear Skills of the Mountain and River Spear Technique—the King of Mountains and Rivers’ own Ultimate Skill—’

’—only then might I consider creating my own Spear Technique Secret Manual.’

’After all, creating your own spear technique is much more difficult than practicing an existing one.’

The King of Mountains and Rivers then turned back to Mu Hong and asked,

"Mu Hong, do you have any questions?"

Holding his spear in one hand, Mu Hong voiced his confusion,

"Master, my Spear Technique has reached Tier Five, and controlling my cells is becoming increasingly difficult..."

The King of Mountains and Rivers understood immediately.

"More words won’t help you comprehend it!"

"Experience it for yourself!"

With that, he placed a hand on Mu Hong’s shoulder, and a terrifying Domain enveloped him.

From the side, Lin Qi felt the immense weight of a mountain; it was as if his master, Mu Hong, was being crushed beneath its peak.

Lin Qi activated his [Golden Eyes] to observe the release of the Domain up close.

The more he watched, the more he was able to comprehend.

...

「An hour later」

The guidance session ended. Inside the Martial Arts Room, the King of Mountains and Rivers said to Lin Qi and Mu Hong,

"As the saying goes, ’A master can lead you to the door, but your cultivation is your own!’"

"Today’s guidance should be enough for you to work on for a long time."

"Lin Qi, when your Spear Technique breaks through, you can ask Mu Hong about cultivating at Tier Five."

Lin Qi nodded in thanks. "Thank you, Master!"

Mu Hong bowed. "Thank you, Master!"

Then, the two of them left.

Only the King of Mountains and Rivers remained in the Martial Arts Room.

He swung the Big Gun in his hand and muttered to himself, "Once you reach the Domain, every single step forward is fraught with difficulty."

"The power gap between different Ninth Realm Martial Artists can be immense—even greater than the gap between the First Realm and the Ninth!"

"Emperor Red... I wonder just how far he has gone!"

The King of Mountains and Rivers thought of Emperor Red, the number one powerhouse and greatest genius on Blue Star.

After several decades, no one knew just how powerful the current Emperor Red truly was.

During the hunt for the Level 10 Calamity Beast, the Celestial Calamity Flame Dragon, Celestial Blade Liy Qifeng claimed that Emperor Red had very likely not used his full power.

Emperor Red’s purpose had simply been to train the other Ninth Realm Martial Artists.
