Chapter 1291: Chapter 1291: The Gap Between the Eighth Level and Ninth Level
After Xu Nian bid farewell to Murong Xue, he returned to his residence.
Now, his understanding of the Earth Attribute Profound Argumentation has reached the Eighth Level of the Realm of Profound Argumentation.
He even created a move called Guiyuan.
Since his comprehension of the Gravity Space Secret Profound Argumentation is relatively unique, the power of this Guiyuan move is closely comparable to the Ninth Level Attribute Profound Argumentation.
It was precisely this Guiyuan move that allowed him to defeat Black Evil.
However, Xu Nian still felt it wasn’t enough; with his current combat strength, he might be able to fight against Jiang Shengtian and the others, but ultimately, he was still slightly lacking.
According to the Jade Scroll, Jiang Shengtian’s comprehension of Profound Argumentation might not be as simple as just the Eighth Level; he may have already reached the Ninth Level Realm of Profound Argumentation.
Moreover, Jiang Shengtian seems to have mastered a peculiar force, a mysteriously powerful strength.
Therefore, to battle them, he must continue to enhance his strength.
The Gravity Space Secret Profound Argumentation of the Earth Attribute had only recently been broken through, so Xu Nian planned to try for a new breakthrough in the Wind Attribute Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation.
He has already reached the Eighth Level Realm in understanding the Wind Attribute Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation, and the Dragon King Cone has also activated the Seventh Style, reaching the realm of Wind Blade Mad Dragon.
If he could break through to the Ninth Level Realm and master the eighth and ninth styles of the Dragon King Cone, he would be even more confident in the upcoming battles.
Dragon King Cone’s Eighth Style: Immortal King Inquiry.
Dragon King Cone’s Ninth Style: Sword Immortal Cutting Red Dust.
Both styles are extremely powerful.
Once the Profound Argumentation reaches the Ninth Level, he can cultivate these two styles, especially the ninth style, which is a formidable move for slaying immortals.
However, wanting to break through to the Ninth Level in the Wind Attribute Profound Argumentation in a short time is no easy task.
Xu Nian didn’t care and simply sat cross-legged in his residence to begin cultivating.
And in his mind, he was recalling the Denor Emperor’s demonstration of the Ninth Level Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation.
He always felt that the Denor Emperor’s Wind Attribute Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation carried an indescribable special energy.
This energy seemed to elevate the Wind Attribute Dimension Cutting to a new level.
It seemed that the power of Dimension Cutting in the Denor Emperor’s hands was of one level, while in his hands it was of another.
The gap between these two levels is so vast that it can be described as a difference between heaven and earth.
"Why is there such a big difference? Clearly just the Eighth Level Profound Argumentation and the Ninth Level Profound Argumentation, yet there appears to be an insurmountable chasm," Xu Nian muttered to himself.
This Ninth Level Profound Argumentation felt significantly harder than the previous eight levels.
Sitting cross-legged for a full twelve hours, Xu Nian did not feel any progress.
He decisively got up and left his residence to head towards the Denor Emperor’s residence.
"You’ve come?"
The Denor Emperor saw Xu Nian arriving and seemed to have anticipated it, saying with a smile.
Xu Nian was a bit surprised; how could the Denor Emperor know he was looking for him?
"Strange how I knew you would come? Actually, I not only knew you would come but also knew what you wanted to discuss with me. Is it about the Ninth Level of Wind Attribute Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation?" the Denor Emperor chuckled.
"How did the Lord Emperor guess?" Xu Nian was even more surprised.
"Actually, it’s very simple; now that your Earth Attribute Gravity Space has just broken through to the Eighth Level, and you feel pressured, it’s natural to guess that you want to advance further in the Wind Attribute," the Denor Emperor laughed.
Xu Nian nodded; this indeed made logical sense.
Yet, how did the Denor Emperor know he would come to find him?
The Denor Emperor chuckled and continued, "Between the Eighth Level and the Ninth Level in each attribute’s Profound Argumentation, there’s a massive gap. This gap is generally very difficult to cross. Take Wind Attribute as an example; the difference between Ninth Level Dimension Cutting and Eighth Level Dimension Cutting can be described as a vast difference."
Xu Nian nodded.
This was something he had discovered earlier.
Black Evil’s comprehension of the Space Profound Argumentation, while reaching the Seventh Level, was comparable to the Ninth Level Profound Argumentation power but was not truly the Ninth Level.
So far, he had not truly battled against an expert of Ninth Level Profound Argumentation.
If Jiang Shengtian had indeed reached the Ninth Level Profound Argumentation, with his current strength, except for using the Space Profound Argumentation, it might be difficult to defeat him.
As for Shen Tu, he was probably even stronger and harder to deal with.
"Why is there such a huge gap between the Eighth Level Profound Argumentation and the Ninth Level Profound Argumentation?" Xu Nian immediately asked.
Upon hearing this, the Denor Emperor smiled slightly.
"Actually, the gap between Eighth Level Profound Argumentation and Ninth Level Profound Argumentation seems large but is just a step away. As soon as you cross that step, you can immediately break through to the Ninth Level, significantly enhancing your combat strength," the Denor Emperor said with a smile.
"Huh?" Xu Nian felt bewildered.
How could the huge gap between Eighth Level Profound Argumentation and Ninth Level Profound Argumentation be just a step away?
Seeing Xu Nian’s confusion, the Denor Emperor smiled and said, "Between the Eighth and Ninth Levels, the missing piece is just ’resonance’. Once you can achieve a resonance level with the elements of Wind Attribute from the heavens and earth, you can break through to the Ninth Level."
"Resonance? How can one achieve resonance?" Xu Nian looked puzzled.
"This is difficult to explain; you have to comprehend it yourself, and everyone’s resonance is different. You might feel a sense of resonance when a gentle breeze blows across your face, or feel it amidst roaring winds that topple mountains and rivers," the Denor Emperor explained.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian had a trace of understanding in his heart.
It meant that to reach the Ninth Level Profound Argumentation, he must develop a special sensation with the elements of Wind Attribute from heaven and earth.
Only when the Wind Attribute Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation is activated under this sensation can it maximize its power.
But how difficult it is to enter this special sensory state?
"Think it over yourself, maybe take a walk outside the Emperor Star, anyway, there’s a day before the competition," the Denor Emperor chuckled.
"Thank you, Lord Emperor," Xu Nian nodded, then retreated from the Denor Emperor’s grand hall.
"Hopefully he makes a breakthrough, if he truly crosses into the Ninth Level, then the first place in this Immortal Order Competition might not be much of a suspense," the Denor Emperor smiled faintly, with a hint of anticipation on his face.
Xu Nian had come this far, far exceeding his expectations.
If Xu Nian could achieve the first place, it would be a tremendous surprise.
Xu Nian exited the Denor Emperor’s residence, and after pondering for a moment, he pointed towards the Void.
At the next moment, a spatial vortex appeared in the Void.
Then, Xu Nian walked directly into the spatial vortex.
Indeed, he opted to listen to the Denor Emperor’s advice, to go out and see, perhaps gaining new insights.
With his current level of Space Profound Argumentation, planetary crossing was not difficult at all.
However, just as Xu Nian stepped into the spatial vortex, from the Void beside him emerged a figure.
The oncomer had cold eyes, full of killing intent.
This person was none other than the previous Haotian Sect Master, Kuang Lei.
