The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 501 Giving and Receiving [Part Two]

"Heh, Murong is still as insincere as ever. He clearly left you with a divine opportunity, but he didn't point it out directly!" Jia Jiu looked at the projection of the seven Sumeru Divine Mountains and smiled contemptuously.

Immediately, she withdrew her gaze, frowned as she looked at Feng Ling, who was casting a hopeful glance at her, and pondered:
"Alright then, I'll give you a true analysis of the laws of the gods, as well as the secrets to becoming a god through the laws. As for how much you can comprehend from it, that depends on your own destiny! Listen carefully..."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling's expression sharpened, and he eagerly awaited the answer.

Jia Jiu then explained in detail, "On the surface, Murong's 'Great Sumeru: Celestial Melody' belongs to the Law of Sound; however, sound is like a whistling blade, sharp and piercing, like the hiss of metal, and is actually a mutation of the Law of Metal. Generally speaking, a demigod who comprehends and masters one divine law is enough to trigger a divine tribulation. If they overcome the tribulation, they can create a realm and become a god! If they master multiple divine laws, the difficulty of overcoming the tribulation will increase dramatically, and their strength after becoming a god will also be extremely formidable; however, if one is broad in the laws of gods but not proficient in any, they may not be able to defeat those who specialize in one divine law. For example, the Divine Envoy Murong, she has brought the Law of Sound to the level of seizing the creation of heaven and earth. At her peak, her strength was so terrifying that even the powerful gods of the ancient era who mastered four or five laws could not defeat her in a single blow!"

"Hiss!" Feng Ling listened carefully while secretly digesting the information, occasionally letting out a sigh.

So, this is how powerful the Murong Divine Envoy is?
So, how powerful must His Majesty the Eastern Saint be, whose strength and status surpass even that of the Divine Envoy Murong?
It's truly captivating!
"In short, the strength of a god after becoming a god depends to a large extent on two dimensions: the depth of their understanding of the mysteries of the laws and their skillful application of them, aside from the extent to which they control the laws and the influence of external factors." Jia Jiu paused here.

She stared at Feng Ling for a few moments with a complicated expression before continuing, "I observe that the cultivation method you practice is the Five Elements Method. When all five elements are perfected, one can touch upon the laws of the five elements. The laws of the five elements are infinitely profound and are one of the ten most powerful laws, but they emphasize the balance of yin and yang in all things, and the mutual generation and restraint of all things, making them extremely difficult to cultivate! Now that you have experienced the Nine Infants Tribulation, you should have reached the great success or perfect creation state of the four elements of fire, earth, wood, and water, but you are still missing the Golden Gate, right?"

"Hmm. Senior, you have excellent insight! The Golden Gate was indeed not open before! It was because I had never been able to grasp the essence of the final secret technique of the Five Elements Cultivation!"

Seeing Jia Jiu's questioning gaze, Feng Ling hesitated for a moment before frankly admitting it.

The four supernatural techniques—Flame Divine Spear Technique, Thick Earth Heavy Strike Technique, Myriad Manifestations Technique, and Crossing the Sea to Return to the Void Technique—correspond perfectly to the four elements of fire, earth, wood, and water mentioned by Jia Jiu.

Given Jia Jiu's stunning and mysterious past life, it's not surprising that he could sense the extent to which Feng Ling's Five Elements cultivation technique had reached through certain methods.

Feng Ling has always preferred to hide his talents, but now he can't hide them anymore, so why bother burying his head in the sand and doing something pointless!
"I have a deep understanding of the first four lines, and I believe that further study will allow me to naturally deduce the corresponding laws and mysteries. However, I have never been able to grasp the 'Geng Law Qiankun Formula' corresponding to the Metal element. But after listening to your words, senior, and then looking inward at the seventh Mount Sumeru, I suddenly felt enlightened and clear-headed, and I have gained some understanding of the Golden Gate!"

Feng Ling's eyes shone brightly, and his aura became sharper and more intense, clearly not an exaggeration.

"Oh, really? You have such insight?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Jiu raised her eyebrows slightly, intrigued. She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and glanced at Feng Ling as if testing him: "Then I'd like to hear what your thoughts are?"

Although Jia Jiu, having awakened her memories of her past life, considered herself a senior and had changed her attitude towards Feng Ling, the successor, she was still very competitive at heart.

"In that case, I will make a fool of myself! If there are any inappropriate points in my discussion, I hope that you will criticize and correct me!"

Feng Ling, like a humble student, rose and bowed respectfully before speaking eloquently: "The secret technique of the Metal Element Divine Power that I cultivate is called: [Geng Lü Qian Kun Jue]. Geng means metal. Lü means law or rule, and can also refer to musical scales. Geng Lü refers to the variation of the law of metal—the law of sound! However, coincidentally, the Daoist rhyme contained in the seventh Mount Sumeru that the Divine Envoy Murong left in my body is also the law of sound! Or to be precise, the entire seventh Mount Sumeru is actually a manifestation of the law of sound!"

"Crack!" The words had barely left his lips when a crisp sound of porcelain shattering rang in his ears. Feng Ling turned around to look at the source of the sound. It was Jia Jiu, who, startled by the sound, had accidentally knocked his teacup against the edge of the table, causing it to fall and shatter into pieces.

"It's alright, don't worry about it! Just keep talking!"

Jia Jiu remained outwardly calm, taking out a new teacup to replace it while trying to suppress the surging emotions within him, thus preventing the fermenting, sour feeling in his heart from overflowing.

Feng Ling, unaware of Jia Jiu's inner turmoil, continued his analysis as instructed: "Previously, I had no clue about the origins of the Seventh Mount Sumeru. I only remembered what the Divine Envoy Murong said—that as long as I comprehended it, I could create a realm and become a god. However, I never connected it with the *Geng Lü Qian Kun Jue* that I urgently needed to cultivate. Therefore, while I was obsessed and blindly trying to comprehend it, even though I faced the Law of Sound at close range every day, I still couldn't comprehend it at all! Fortunately, you pointed out the essence of the Seventh Mount Sumeru. Therefore, by verifying it with the Law of Sound, all the difficulties I encountered in cultivating the *Geng Lü Qian Kun Jue* gradually became clear, and all the obstacles were resolved!"

After speaking, a circle of profound golden light illuminated his body. Feng Ling's eyes slightly closed, and he hovered in mid-air, having actually... achieved enlightenment!

"..."

This scene left Jia Jiu, who had just brought the tea to her lips to steady herself, speechless and almost choked.

"Ah, Murong, when you transformed the Law of Sound into the seventh Mount Sumeru and left it to my successor, did you anticipate that I would intervene? I wonder if this is a blessing or a curse!"

Jia Jiu gazed at Feng Ling, who was immersed in a state of enlightenment, his metal element aura steadily rising. A trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he murmured in his sleep, "Perhaps you still have other intentions. However, I still have to thank you for everything you've done to achieve our common goal in this life!"

Because of their intertwined destinies, Jia Jiu knew very well that, without affecting Feng Ling's cultivation level, the Divine Envoy Murong had no fewer than a hundred ways to resolve Feng Ling's past crisis of exploding body.

However, she chose to use the "Great Sumeru - Celestial Melody" technique to suppress and seal Feng Ling's rapidly increasing cultivation level, which was indeed making a mountain out of a molehill.

Furthermore, Murong's statement that it was "enough to open up a realm and confer godhood" intentionally or unintentionally misled Feng Ling's main cultivation direction.

If you say there's no hidden story behind this, Jia Jiu would never believe it. But Feng Ling was able to comprehend the laws of metal and understand the profound meaning of the Geng Law Qiankun Technique. In the end, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks!

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages and saints offer you a pure land for your souls.
