Chapter 6582 The Trick
“Evilmoon!” Long Chen shouted, summoning Evilmoon in his grasp.
The Void Breaker Rune instantly condensed at its tip. With a light stroke, the void parted, almost identical to the green parrot’s demonstration.
Green Old Sixth really is incredible!
Long Chen was delighted. This rune fused two diametrically opposed energies to create astonishing force.
Those black and white runes were Old Sixth’s essence runes. Earlier, Long Chen had tried imitating them using his violet blood, but they collapsed instantly.
However, he immediately realized the crux of the problem and switched to using his seven-color Supreme Blood and his violet blood. By unleashing his own Heaven Earth essence runes, he instantly succeeded.
The parrot coughed, attempting to hide its shock. “Hmph. The rune’s formation was clumsy, and your movements were stiff. Quite painful to watch, really. But... despite the many, many flaws, you did manage to fuse the Void Breaker Rune to your weapon. Out of my three thousand disciples, I suppose you can squeeze into the top two thousand in terms of learning speed. At least, you didn’t embarrass Old Sixth too much.”
Long Chen shot it a cold, contemptuous look. From start to finish, the bird had clearly not intended to teach him anything.
This Void Breaker Rune was impossible to condense unless someone happened to possess Heaven Earth power. Furthermore, the parrot hadn’t explained a thing—it had merely shown off.
However, Long Chen’s comprehension ability was something even the sweeping elder praised. With just a single demonstration, he could deduce the proper hand seals from the energy fluctuations.
After all, the parrot didn’t have hands, nor did it understand the nuances of hand seal formation. It controlled everything through its core energy.
For Long Chen to decipher the technique so quickly shook the parrot to its core, but it swallowed its regret and instead doubled down on nitpicking his “flaws.” It seemed that its face was just as thick as Long Chen’s.
“And next?” asked Long Chen.
“The next step is simple. Concentrate your mind on where you want to go and dive in! It’s just like swimming in water, understood? Put your hands above your head and bend your back. Then, dive right in!” the parrot declared proudly, making a diving motion with its wings.
Long Chen snorted. “What nonsense. If you didn’t want me to learn it, you shouldn’t have shown it off. I despise petty little birds the most.”
Although Long Chen did not know this technique, he would have to be an idiot to think that these idiotic motions were required.
“Who are you calling petty?! You think I’m afraid of you learning my techniques?! Listen well—Old Sixth has countless arts accumulated over the ages! I’ve forgotten more techniques than you’ve ever seen!”
Long Chen’s scorn instantly provoked the parrot, and it jumped onto Long Chen’s shoulder.
It explained, “If you want to move through the void, the first rule is not to cause spatial fluctuations. It’s like cutting through ice on the surface of a lake without disturbing the water beneath it. If you cause the slightest ripple, you lose control over the destination. Just now I taught you the basics. But if you insist on biting off more than you can chew, then fine! Old Sixth will show you the hardest part right now. Whether or not you can learn it is entirely up to yourself, so don’t blame me when you fail!”
As the parrot pulled Long Chen into that spatial crack, he instantly felt a gentle spatial energy envelop him.
This was different from the spatial energy he had felt before. This one was like motionless water, not the maelstrom of rapid vortices.
“Concentrate your mind! Sense the spatial nodes! Link them together in one go! First like this, then this...”
Space folded in on itself, and they vanished.
A moment later, space burst open thousands of miles away, and the two tumbled out.
“So, how was it? Do you understand?” asked the green parrot.
Long Chen didn’t say a word. As the sweeping elder had said, this parrot was no good bird.
It had practically shoved him into the water without teaching him how to swim. It then tossed out a bunch of meaningless principles and called it instruction.
Fortunately, Long Chen had known that it wasn’t so kind as to properly teach him, so he had been focused entirely on the fluctuations.
Long Chen sliced through the void, stepped in, and then reappeared right where he had just been.
“Hahahaha!” The parrot erupted into laughter.
Long Chen continued slicing through space, but he was randomly appearing within a few thousand miles of his original location.
Then, finally—
Long Chen stepped into a crack and vanished completely. The parrot’s laughter cut off. Seeing Long Chen truly disappear, it froze, stunned.
It then tore through space itself and chased after Long Chen. It was completely shocked. Long Chen had actually managed to control the general direction of his spatial transportations so quickly.
“Hey, not bad, you found the trick so quickly!” This time, the parrot didn’t mock him because it was genuinely impressed.
“What’s the point? Shuttling through space requires law power, but my essence runes are incomplete. This isn’t even as fast as my normal movement,” said Long Chen.
Although that was what he said, he was overjoyed inside. Once he fully condensed his essence runes and possessed law power, he would be able to shuttle through space. He had found the crux of this technique.
Seeing that Long Chen had not fully mastered this technique, the parrot relaxed.
It said, “Hehe, youngster, don’t be dejected. Don’t you have Old Sixth to look after you? Whatever danger you encounter, Old Sixth can bring you away safely.”
But after this incident, the green parrot became much more obedient. Although its mouth was still annoying, it was now tolerable.
It wasn’t long before Long Chen arrived at the Heaven Dragon Law Domain. However, the moment he arrived, he saw countless experts in front of the domain entrance.
Most of them were weak, with the strongest being only Human Emperors. They were currently hurling verbal abuses at the Heaven Dragon Law Domain.
There were many races among them: human, demon, Blood, devil, and several Long Chen didn’t even recognize. But when he saw this gathering, his expression darkened.
A flame lotus appeared in his hand, and a terrifying wave of heat washed over them.
