Talismans Manifest Myriad Laws, Proving My Immortality

Chapter 121: Chapter 121: The Supreme Art of the Free and Easy Way

Lu An sat cross-legged, recalling the results of mixing the three primary colors.

Mixing red and green produces yellow. This means that, if the theory is correct, merging fire and wood elemental energies should produce energies related to the earth attribute.

Let's give it a try.

He activated his technique, drawing a trace of fire and wood elemental energies from the air into his body, but instead of letting them enter his dantian, he concentrated them on his fingertips.

Merging different types of elemental energies was very risky; he didn't dare to do it in his dantian.

By concentrating them on his fingertips, with such a small amount of energy, even if an unknown reaction occurred, it wouldn't harm his core.

The two energies slowly gathered at his fingertips, with fire on the left and wood on the right.

Once they formed two small spheres of light, Lu An stopped absorbing more.

He adjusted his emotions, trying to calm his mind, and then cautiously maneuvered the two spheres of energy to approach each other.

The moment they touched, the two spheres of energy reacted violently and exploded on his fingertips.

Lu An felt a slight pain but remained still, enduring the impact.

Fortunately, his body was far tougher than other cultivators at his level, and the spheres he absorbed were very small, so the damage wasn't severe.

"Could it be that my guess is wrong? These two energies react so violently; they don't seem to be able to merge."

He paused for a moment, his brow furrowing slightly, and continued to experiment with other combinations.

After a while, his expression darkened.

He had tried all possible pairwise combinations and found that none of them could merge; they all reacted violently.

Especially with water and fire energies, which seemed inherently opposed, the explosion was much stronger than with other combinations, nearly causing his fingers to be blown off.

Even though he withstood the impact at the last moment, his fingers were severely damaged.

He pondered for a moment, a trace of hesitation appearing on his face.

"There's one last combination. Should I try it?"

The last combination he referred to was merging all three types of energies simultaneously.

If it exploded, the force would likely be greater than all previous attempts combined.

By then, his entire hand might be blown off.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator with no body tempering techniques, he wouldn't have a way to regenerate lost limbs.

He didn't want to end up with just one hand, so he hesitated for half a day before deciding.

According to the theory of primary colors, red, green, and blue mixed together should produce white.

White?

What elemental energy is white?

He pondered for a moment and suddenly had a realization, looking up sharply.

White, isn't the Supreme Intent white? Could there be a connection?

His face showed uncertainty, and after a long while, he sat back down, resuming his cultivation.

This time, he didn't directly merge all three colors but only used fire and wood energies.

Even if it exploded, it would still be within his tolerance.

The difference was that he now incorporated the Supreme Intent into the fusion.

The two types of spiritual energy clashed again, and the situation was the same as before—they were about to explode. However, with the introduction of the Supreme True Intent, the two types of spiritual energy suddenly became gentle.

The Supreme True Intent acted like a harmonizer, slowly blending into the two types of spiritual energy and gradually fusing them together.

Lu An felt a surge of joy in his heart and focused intently on the scene within his body. As time passed, the fusion gradually improved, with the two true energy light spheres merging into one, and the color also changed.

Yellow!

He sensed a strong earth attribute aura. However, this aura was not pure; it was more akin to the scent of sand, a side branch of the earth attribute.

Lu An was not surprised. Pure earth attribute spiritual energy should be brown, as he had observed countless times with the five-colored disc and was certain of it. The combination of red and green had resulted in yellow, so there was some deviation.

But this was a minor issue. By adjusting the proportion of the two types of spiritual energy, he could produce genuine earth attribute spiritual energy.

Suppressing his joy, he continued to experiment with other combinations. Indeed, under the harmonization of the Supreme True Intent, other attribute spiritual energies also became obedient.

A glimmer of excitement flashed in Lu An's eyes. As long as he remembered the corresponding proportions of spiritual energy attributes, he could master all types of heavenly and earthly spiritual energy. This would not only enhance his understanding of various types of spiritual energy and help him reach the realm of talismanic mastery but also enrich his combat strategies using the principles of mutual generation and restraint.

He could deduce that other cultivators might have attempted this before, but they had failed due to the absence of the Supreme True Intent.

"I wonder if the ancient cultivators used the same method for fusing spiritual energies."

After a moment of contemplation, he shook his head and continued to try other combinations. After testing all possible pairs, Lu An remembered the initial question.

"Should I try fusing all three types of spiritual energy at once? With the Supreme True Intent to regulate, it should be safe."

He hesitated for a long time but ultimately decided to proceed. He began to cultivate, guiding water, fire, and wood spiritual energies into his body and directing them towards his fingertips.

Once the three were stabilized, he used the Supreme True Intent to slowly merge them. As soon as the three energies touched, the explosive reaction he had experienced before occurred again, even more violently. However, with the intervention of the Supreme True Intent, the three energies gradually calmed and mixed together like flowing water.

The originally chaotic colors gradually turned white. Just as the three energies fully merged into a single color without any trace of impurity, an unexpected change occurred!

The Supreme True Intent within his body suddenly became ferocious, greedily devouring the white substance. It seemed to have encountered a delicacy and broke free from Lu An's control.

Lu An was startled and was about to stop it when his hand, performing the technique, froze in mid-air. After consuming the white substance, the Supreme True Intent seemed to have grown slightly before calming down again.

"Hm?"

Lu An repeatedly confirmed the state within his body and then showed a hint of joy.

"It actually directly increased the Supreme True Intent—heaven is helping me!"

He had possessed the Supreme True Intent since leaving the secret realm, but its growth had been extremely slow. He had no corresponding cultivation method and could only rely on the Yi Wood Soul Formula to produce the "Extreme of the Soul," which was then converted to the "Extreme" in "Law" and "Body" through the Divine Soul Refinement Method. Only when all three produced the "Extreme" did the Supreme True Intent grow a little.

Over the past year since leaving the secret realm, the growth of the Supreme True Intent had been minimal, almost negligible. Now that he had found a method to increase it, it was indeed a great help.

He would not forget the wonderful use of the Supreme True Intent. Not only did it regulate the balance within his body, but it could also be used in dual cultivation with Xiao Qian to enhance her cultivation. Most importantly, the Supreme True Intent possessed the aura of an upper-level being, naturally suppressing other true energies.

Otherwise, when he left the secret realm, he wouldn't have easily killed three early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. One could imagine how terrifying his strength would be if all his internal true energy were converted into Supreme True Intent. With future advancements in realm, he would be able to go anywhere in the world.

"Since that's the case, I'll name it 'Supreme Art of the Free and Easy Way.'"

After thinking for a while and naming the technique, he felt quite satisfied. Then, as if recalling something, he raised an eyebrow.

If there is an extreme for the soul, the law, and the body, is there also an extreme for talismans?
