Chapter 168: Guidance and Development
“Earth’s Wind, Water, and Fire should be in solid, gaseous, liquid, and plasma states. Among these, plasma state has stricter requirements. For instance, flames need to reach a certain temperature, and materials must also be combustible to produce flames.”
“Fire Spiritual Roots essentially simulate these states using spirit energy. Higher temperatures and faster temperature propagation can allow materials to burn and transform, thus increasing the range of effect. These are the four essential elements of flame spirit.”
“Perfect Spirit means, after understanding these essences, to shift the simulated elements of spirit energy to three, two, or even just one.”
Yun Ye raised his hand, and an invisible flame appeared, easily melting steel. “Heavenly Fire, the invisible high-temperature fire.”
Black flames descended, igniting the soil. “Immortal Flame, the fire that is capable of burning everything with extreme combustibility.”
The fire lotus soared into the air and exploded with a roar. “Sky Fire, a flame with explosive characteristics, possessing the widest attack range and speed.”
As everyone stared in awe, Yun Ye summarized, “This is Perfect Spirit. All five elements show similar phenomena. Once you grasp the mysteries within, you can master Perfect Spirit and induce a qualitative change in the power of your flames.”
“Fire Element: Transfer energy, create flames.”
“Metal Element: Gather materials, create metals.”
“Wood Element: Infuse life, accelerate growth.”
“Earth Element: Manipulate materials, create solids.”
“Water Element: Create liquids, lower temperatures.”
“I cannot completely exhaust the mysteries of the five elements; I can only provide a direction for your own research.”
“As long as you understand that there is no need to use Spiritual Roots exactly as in reality, you can gain some degree of Perfect Spirit, enough to greatly increase your strength. You can try now.”
Yun Ye dispersed the water and fire.
“Master, let me go first!”
Tian Jing was the first to step forward. After Yun Ye nodded, he chose Immortal Flame as his first goal.
“Infuse all other spirit elements into the burning element…”
Tian Jing silently recited in his heart, visualizing the flame’s form.
Repeatedly, black flames rose from his hand, but onlookers could see its visible instability!
After several minutes, the flames in Tian Jing’s hand never stabilized and ultimately exploded.
“Sorry, I don’t know why, but I can’t control it for a moment!”
Tian Jing showed a look of embarrassment. He tried again, but the result was the same; the flames remained extremely unstable.
“What could be the reason?”
Yang Shu and the others frowned. The flame form had taken shape but was unstable and could not be maintained?
“Practice more. Even though he has recognized the flames, it’s still a challenge for someone used to using their right hand to write with their left. It took me a month to adapt. With Tian Jing’s talent, a few days should be enough.”
Yun Ye did not find it surprising.
The most challenging part of mastering Perfect Spirit is the mental understanding. Once grasped, it simply becomes a matter of practice makes perfect.
“Let’s try as well. The former top student achieved effects close to innate spirit fire with this method. Even I couldn’t break through; clearly, every type of Perfect Spirit has its unique usefulness!”
Tong Huo Yang recalled the first battle, a glimmer appearing in his eyes.
Every time he thought about the invisible fire from back then, he felt an unusual sense of helplessness.
Now, she could also master the same power; how could this not make her happy!
If she were at the Tong family, even with perfect confidentiality measures, such top-tier secret techniques would never be taught to outsiders, and probably not even to direct blood relatives—most likely only the family heir would be qualified to learn!
Such an unreasonable matter could only be accomplished by the Tomorrow Society!
Tong Huo Yang’s admiration for the Tomorrow Society and Yun Ye grew once more.
This heir was indeed steadily walking his own path!
If they continued to monopolize knowledge and power, even if they succeeded in challenging Baishi Town, it would merely be replacing one aristocratic family with another.
As long as the strongest Yun Ye unleashed his fury, the Tomorrow Society would instantly become another Spiritual Law team or the Black Armored Army.
However, once knowledge and power were shared, whether or not people wanted to walk the path of tomorrow would be beyond the leader’s control!
Once veering off the path, there would be many who could resist!
Tong Huo Yang looked at the young man who had been guiding everyone and felt a surge of respect in her heart: “Perhaps, Dao is unsure whether he would decay after success, so he simply cut off his retreat. This way, thoughts of transformation would have to consider the opinions of others!”
The reason for her admiration was that she knew she could never do the same.
If the same choice were presented to her, her selfishness would lead her to completely monopolize this transformative knowledge; even if it meant her death, she would never let outsiders benefit.
Such knowledge was not something a small place like Baishi Town deserved. Only those deeply-rooted celestial clans could possibly master it.
Yet clearly, even those celestial clans would never allow the knowledge to spread, let alone pass it on to outsiders.
If such powerful forces were like this, how could she be any different?!
There was not even a blood relation between them; they were purely ‘fellow friends.’
A person who could make such decisions had an unimaginable generosity.
Perhaps, this is what is called a hero, a great leader!
“I believe Ultimate Spirit Fire can be combined with specially made Spiritual Tools! When the flaws are removed, the power of ultimate fire is nearly unimaginable!”
Tong Huo Yang stepped forward and joined the discussion.
Seeing this, Yun Ye nodded in secret appreciation, providing guidance multiple times.
Apart from having B-level Spiritual Roots, all of Tong Huo Yang’s attributes were D-level, making her an average talent; it was indeed hard for her to understand immediately.
However, after multiple reminders from Yun Ye, she made significant progress.
“Using Perfect Spirit also requires finding the right direction. For instance, if your Spiritual Roots lean more towards spirit energy manipulation, the effectiveness of your spirit energy isn’t very high. Given this situation, what type of Ultimate Spirit Fire do you think suits you best?” Yun Ye asked.
Tong Huo Yang showed a faint smile and said, “Using spiritual laws requires more time for me to achieve equivalent power to others. Since that’s the case, I’m more suited to a charging type of wide-range attack, right?”
Having stood out in the Tong family, how could she not be aware of her flaws? Major Spiritual Law was prepared for this.
“Exactly, while the amount of spirit energy may enhance spiritual laws, the size will also increase correspondingly, not entirely enhancing power. In that case, choosing to compress your power means that even if you add a lot of spirit energy, the effects may not be good.”
“Knowing your flaws means you should maximize your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. You are more suited to Sky Fire and should build a corresponding battle system around it; Heavenly Fire and other Ultimate Spirit Fires should only be kept in reserve.” Yun Ye nodded.
Understanding is pointless; the key is how to effectively utilize Sky Fire.
Only by perfectly combining Spiritual Tools, formations, and even Talismans could she possibly challenge the weakest spiritual realm.
To make an impact, the spiritual realm is the minimum requirement.
Just maintaining the previous level would lead to elimination.
“Perfect Spirit is just the beginning; how to construct a subsequent battle framework is the real challenge. You need to bring out the explosive power of Sky Fire to the utmost…”
With this guidance, the whole day passed.
By the evening, everyone was hungry, and Yang Shu clapped his hands: “Alright, let’s stop crowding around Dao! Sharpening the knife does not delay chopping wood. Let’s eat first, and after we regain our spirits, we can continue! Don’t worry everyone, we’ve gained so much today; we must celebrate properly! We still have some chickens and ducks!”
“Really? I’ve been craving these chickens and ducks for a long time. They kept putting it off for experiments; what’s there to experiment with chickens and ducks? Finally, I can taste it! I must gnaw the bones clean!” Chai Xin exclaimed happily.
Everyone burst into laughter, and Tong Huo Yang also smiled slightly.
Tomorrow Village was suddenly lit up, smoke rising from cooking fires, vanishing into the sky.
After Yun Ye gained a wealth of knowledge, to be safe, he used Ultimate Spirit Fire—Halo Fire, and Ultimate Spirit Water—Transforming Mist to set up an Illusion Array. To the outside world, it looked like an ordinary forest.
The Illusion Array was very simple, but the chances of being discovered were greatly reduced.
Additionally, the array could absorb and purify the smoke; once the cooking smoke fell on it, it would be carried away by the flowing mist, no longer needing to worry about the smoke exposing the Tomorrow Society.
