Chapter 25: Upgrade, Six Harmonies Realm!
Gu Yi snorted. “Stop laughing. Since your energy has been upgrading too fast these days, let me teach you better control of the power.” Waving his hand, he opened a spatial gate and brought Hao Yun to the holy meeting place in the Himalayas.
For the next month, Hao Yun stayed in Kamar-Taj, cultivating diligently without venturing out. With Gu Yi’s guidance, he not only grasped the essence of space but also learned to control the flow of energy in his body with greater precision.
One day, a sudden idea struck Hao Yun. He spiraled the energy within his body to assault the final move of the Seventh Star Realm—the Yao Guang, Breaking Army. With a resounding boom, the Tianhui Acupoint at the crown of his head opened, and the last gate was completely unsealed. Hao Yun felt as if his body had immersed into a bath of countless converging energies. He had the illusion that the laws were within his grasp, ready to be manipulated at will. For a moment, he became lost in obsession, losing himself and his consciousness grew hazy, as if he had entered a deep sleep…
“Wake up!~”
Just as Hao Yun was unable to pull himself away from the energy pool, his soul seemingly about to merge into it, a shout echoed by his ear, suddenly jolting him back to awareness!~
Opening his eyes, it was the Venerable Gu Yi!~
“You’ve broken through?” Gu Yi frowned, his voice tinged with anger as he looked at Hao Yun.
“Uh… I suppose I have,” Hao Yun answered softly, fearing to incur Gu Yi’s displeasure. Secretly checking his status panel, indeed, he had broken through!~
Host: Hao Yun
Energy Level: LV1 Galaxy Level (PS: The Galaxy Level is also the initial stage of the Heavenly Father, and reaching LV10 will upgrade to the Star River Level.)
Constitution: Human Race.
Abilities: Human Race Supreme Martial Arts Inheritance: Initial Entry into the Sixth Harmony Realm (already fused with Electric Shock Technique, Wood Escape Ninjutsu, Immortal Body, and Advanced See-Hear-Color Dominating Aura)
Items: One weakened Super Divine Gene, one Xuanyuan Sword!~(Items that have been sent will no longer be listed.)
Sign-In Points: 39548.
Hmph, he really broke through and became a Heavenly Father level!~ However, this junior stage… Thanos must have been at the peak of the Heavenly Father realm, right?
He calculated that he probably had a gap of at least two major realms.
Then, in the Avengers: Endgame, how did the Scarlet Witch single-handedly defeat Thanos? Was the mutation ability of the Mind Stone that formidable? Or was the Scarlet Witch’s true power actually the chaotic magic from the comics?
“You don’t know your own situation?” Gu Yi’s rebuke snapped Hao Yun out of his musings: “Advancing to the Heavenly Father level, which in the cultivation of Eastern immortal arts is the Golden Elixir stage, the body will permeate throughout, and the soul will integrate into the universe. If not properly protected, your soul could very likely be assimilated by the will of the universe! This time, if not for me noticing the energy fluctuations, your soul would have been assimilated by the universe, leaving only your flesh body!~”
“Uh… I’m sorry.”
Hao Yun broke out in cold sweat. No wonder his consciousness had faltered after the breakthrough; he had thought he could control the world at will. In fact, this was the so-called integration of body and universe?!
Decisively admitting his mistake, without Gu Yi, he might have truly been able to only croon a “cool” song.
“Hmph, since you’ve been promoted, you should be able to perceive the cosmic laws, right? The greatest difference for the Heavenly Father level is the ability to draw upon cosmic energy using one’s own strength as a conduit and manipulate the laws. Try perceiving the location you wish to reach, and then control the space laws.”
Gu Yi instructed Hao Yun, who closed his eyes, using his own energy as a guide to sense the space laws… Then, opening his eyes, imitating Gu Yi, he slashed with his hand, and a spatial gate to a villa in the suburbs of New York opened!
This… was the space law?
Hao Yun looked at the other side in astonishment, extending his hands forward to support… This time, it was the Mirror Space!~ He had self-taught the magic of the Mirror Space without a master!~
Stepping into the Mirror Space, Gu Yi the wizard following closely behind, his face broke into a smile of satisfaction—that of a mentor seeing his true disciple attain enlightenment!~
Within the Mirror Space, Hao Yun could feel that the space laws here were exceptionally clear and easier to mobilize!~
Recalling Gu Yi’s display in Doctor Strange, Hao Yun stomped down, causing the space of the entire Himalayas to invert and reorganize, hard-constructing a floating platform in mid-air. Around it were seats and walls encircled by the buildings of the holy meeting place; he had actually built an arena!
The laws and things of the universe within the Mirror Space seemed all within Hao Yun’s grasp!~
“Not bad. From now on, you will stay in the Mirror Space and deeply comprehend the space laws. Remember, only by thoroughly mastering the space laws can you consider the next law; greed will not allow you to chew it properly!~”
Gu Yi nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave… That effortless mastery of space caused Hao Yun’s excited heart to instantly calm.
The gap to the strongest beings of the universe was still vast!~
Sitting cross-legged at the center of the arena, Hao Yun pondered the upgrades in his body martial arts technique.
The Seventh Star opens the hidden gates of the human body, permeating heaven and earth; the Sixth Harmony encompasses up, down, east, and west, generally referring to the control of energy over various positions around the body. Sixth Harmony great completion means every movement, every word can draw upon the energy of heaven and earth, absorbing or releasing it—that is the first step toward becoming one with the Heavenly Dao and opening one’s inner universe!~
Initial entry into the Sixth Harmony meant Hao Yun was only preliminarily drawing energy around his body, far from the completion of free and easy control!~
But merely an upgrade of one major realm had already brought about a tremendous increase in his abilities. He could feel that releasing ninjutsu, the Super Electromagnetic Cannon, and other skills no longer required forming seals or raising his hand; with a thought, the corresponding effects would manifest immediately.
For example, before the upgrade, releasing the Super Electromagnetic Cannon required the hand as a medium to form an electromagnetic channel; after the upgrade, it only took 1-2 seconds to construct the electromagnetic channel one meter outside the body and fire directly!~
The gap here was a qualitative leap!~
No wonder the human race martial arts are the supreme inheritance, capable of crushing the skills obtained from lottery draws, yet still require seals or items for conduction—this ability was simply too powerful!~
In the following time, Hao Yun gradually mastered the power of the Sixth Harmony Realm. However, his divine sense was too weak, controlling too little law energy, and he couldn’t reach the point where a single thought could destroy the heavens and the earth.
One day, as Hao Yun was about to continue his cultivation, Gu Yi came over.
“Hao Yun, you should leave.”
“Ah? Master, I want to continue cultivating.”
Hao Yun was reluctant to part, as the spiritual energy in the holy meeting place was abundant, and with Gu Yi as a teacher, he could ask questions anytime. How could he be unwilling to stay until he was invincible before coming out?
As for the earlier idea of heading to Sandal Star… Hmph, he wasn’t that shallow!~
“No, you should leave. You have your own destiny. Furthermore, seeking quick improvement through bitter cultivation is not a path suited to you.”
Gu Yi the wizard shook his head and waved his hand, opening a spatial gate… Through the gate, one could see various skin tones—red, pink, white, purple, and other bizarre human and non-human intelligent beings.
“Sandal Star?”
Hao Yun asked subconsciously.
“Yes, you should go.”
With that said, Gu Yi didn’t wait for Hao Yun to prepare and slapped him out… The space laws trembled, and before Hao Yun could choose, he was sent into the gate.
Watching the other leave, Gu Yi restored the space fluctuations, sighed slightly. Then he turned and called out toward the outside.
“Strange, from today onward, this is your place to practice time magic…”
