Above all spirits

Chapter 461 The Road Under Your Feet

Lin Fan waved his hand.

"You've got a good tongue."

"But I don't like flattery, with people calling me senior and junior so formally. Since I've given you an internal protection spot, you're practically one of us now. Just call me Head Lin like the others."

"Speak naturally; I've been through the same stage as you."

Lin Fan suddenly recalled that Gu Yun looked worried when he first came in, so he asked.

"By the way, now that you've condensed your true form, shouldn't that be something to celebrate?"

"Why do I look so dejected as soon as I walk in?"

“Um… Lin Tou.”

It felt a little strange the first time I shouted it.

It felt less awkward and more welcoming.

Gu Yun frankly stated.

"It's because we realized that the road ahead would be difficult once we grasped the true nature of things."

"Just as you said, those who possess power can comprehend domain power, form a domain, and step into the position of a demon lord."

"Then what level must one reach to be considered a demon lord?"

Gu Yun spoke to Lin Fan with a glimmer of hope, hoping to hear a different outcome from him.

Lin Fan nodded slightly, understanding.

"I see."

"What's the harm?"

"Aren't roads made by walking?"

Lin Fan's every word possessed a profound power that was awe-inspiring.

"Did you think that the path to the power of rules was always one of power?"

"It's just that more living beings have walked on it, and the road has become well-known for its width."

"Your feet are on your body, your path is under your feet."

"As long as you keep walking, you will naturally create a path."

Lin Fan paused for a moment, then continued.

"The best example is the Asura clan."

"They can't muster any real power, but the Asura King is truly on par with the God King and the Demon King."

Gu Yun's brow twitched, as if deep in thought.

He had long heard that the Asura clan did not follow the lineage of the gods, but most likely the lineage of the body among gods, souls, and bodies, but so far he had never met a single member of the Asura clan.

It seems that, as the rumors suggest, the Asura clan lives in seclusion, and the only way to find them is probably to go to the Asura clan's territory.

Thinking of this moment, Gu Yun shook his head slightly. This was not something he could look forward to now. If he wanted to seek opportunities in the Asura Clan, he would at least have to reach the rank of Demon Lord.

"This is why sometimes we don't tell you about spiritual practices that are beyond your comprehension."

"Because this would stifle your own potential. What if some being were to forge a path that would never be seen before?"

"However, now that you have condensed your true form, you have embarked on a special path that is different from other realms."

Gu Yun quickly seized the opportunity, because this might be his only chance to so deeply unveil the "veil" of the power of the upper realm. If he missed today, Gu Yun might not be able to access it for a long time.

"Head of the Forest! Could you tell me how a domain evolved into rules?"

“I come from a humble background and have no way of understanding these things.”

"Understanding the connection between domains and rules might provide some inspiration for my future cultivation of my true nature."

Lin Fan frowned slightly but did not speak, seemingly considering something. After a moment, he finally chose to reply to Gu Yun.

"This is common knowledge about the Demon Lord rank; it may be helpful for you to refer to it."

"I won't go into the details, it's too complicated to explain in a short time. As for contact... let me just tell you this directly."

"There are only two conditions for a domain to be promoted to a rule. The first condition is that your domain covers at least half of the characteristics of the rule you belong to, and the second condition is that you possess the origin of the rule."

"There are two known ways to obtain the origin of rules. The first is to rely on one's own comprehension to evolve one of the characteristics to the pinnacle, resonate with the rules of the world, and then automatically condense the origin of rules and transform into the power of rules. The second is to seize the existing origin of rules. Whether it is a sleeping demon king or the rule consciousness of the lower realm, they are all nothing more than this."

"All right."

It's unclear whether Lin Fan intentionally wanted to end the conversation or realized that Gu Yun had lingered there for too long.

He then patted Gu Yun on the back rather forcefully.

This indicates that the discussion has come to an end.

"Stop thinking about all that nonsense and hurry up and get on with me. Being late will result in forfeiture."

"The consequences of abstaining are very serious."

This shot.

Gu Yun felt as if he were being lifted up by a giant wave.

Despite having been enhanced, this body still resembled a small boat, swaying with the waves.

He staggered forward two steps uncontrollably.

Lin Fan's words make a lot of sense.

Don't think about these unnecessary things.

Right now, let's hurry up and participate in the trials.

of course.

We cannot let our guard down completely.

Gu Yun did not have the habit of placing all her hopes on others.

Although he estimated that his situation would soon be known to all the high-ranking members of the Extreme Emperor Demon Clan.

However, whether one lives or dies is still uncertain.

Lin Fan's nod did not mean that the Extreme Emperor Demon Clan's nod was the same.

The upper realm is not as peaceful as it seems.

Gu Yun made a silent vow that if anything unusual happened, he would immediately return to the other side without hesitation.

...

Lin Fan took Gu Yun to Huan Gong Sanxing and then left.

Gu Yun knew that Lin Fan had gone to report to the Supreme Demon King.

No sooner had Lin Fan left than Werner's voice echoed in his mind.

"Finally, I can breathe! I was afraid he'd notice me. To be honest, this is my first time experiencing moving around in my own private space; I feel a little dizzy."

'My situation is worse than yours.'

Gu Yun slapped his head hard.

The feeling of extreme instability and tremors still lingers in my mind.

It made him feel nauseous, but he couldn't vomit anything.

at first.

Gu Yun thought that Lin Fan sent her out of the prison only to create the impression that he cared about her and to deepen her feelings for the prison.

But it turns out they just wanted to use their spatial powers to get themselves here as quickly as possible in an open space.

Rather than saying it's a gift.

It's more accurate to say it was thrown away.

This was absolutely the most brutal spatial journey I've ever experienced.

It feels different from the smooth and stable sensation of a space teleportation array.

Transmission by breaking through space and temporarily setting anchor points to form a channel is highly unstable.

It's good if you understand some spatial abilities and can stabilize your body in spatial gaps.

But for a being like Gu Yun, who knows nothing about spatial powers, it was a disaster.

It feels like putting yourself in a washing machine and turning it on the highest setting.

'Gu boy, you trust him that much?'

'This isn't called trust; it's just a reasonable survival choice.'

Aren't you afraid they'll resort to underhanded tactics?

'His status and position are what they are; is it necessary for him to use tricks against a mere demon general like me? If he wanted to make a move, he would have done so already.'

That's true.

"Moreover, this is my true form, not some chaotic spiritual treasure. Even my potential has a pseudo-uniqueness, making it impossible to replicate someone else's path, let alone my true form. The only value I can offer them is the experience of condensing my true form, and the future expectations of this demon who possesses a true form. The former has already been given to them; as for the latter... it depends on whether they acknowledge the authenticity of the former."
