The top-tier talent improved rapidly. With the infusion of the Mark of the Dead, the top-tier talent had been upgraded from Super Talent to Divine Talent in just half an hour.
Divine Talent - Top Showdown: Engage in a decisive battle in the name of death, and the loser will be stripped of 70% of the Deep Sea Mystic Arts (Cooldown: 1 day).
Looking at the upgraded top-tier duel, Jiang Yuan still frowned. Upgrading from a super talent to a divine talent added 20% more to the Deep Sea Mystic Arts, and the cooldown time was also reduced from three days to one day, but this time was still too long.
"Never mind, since the Prison Abyss only opens for one hour a day, once should be enough!"
Jiang Yuan had no intention of continuing to upgrade the top-tier duel. Upgrading a divine talent to immortality required tens of millions of dead marks. Even though his reincarnation world was much more complete now, it would still require around one million, which was too much of a price.
After completing the talent replacement process, Jiang Yuan chose to meditate and examine his physical universe.
After opening the Eight Gates twice, he keenly perceived the flaws in the Eight Gates physical technique.
The Eight Gates of Heaven are: Qian (☰) for Heaven, Kun (☷) for Earth, Zhen (☳) for Thunder, Xun (☴) for Wind, Kan (☵) for Water, Li (☲) for Fire, Gen (☶) for Mountain, and Dui (☱) for Lake. These are the eight basic gates that constitute the world. However, the fire energy in the Li position within his body is excessive, while the energy in the other seven gates is scarce. This is the most important reason for the imbalance of energy in the eight gates.
Because of this, even after mastering the true Eight Gates Body Technique, he was not as powerful as he was when he took the Eight Gates Body Pill. This was originally impossible, because the Eight Gates Body Pill was just a pill, while he had now completely mastered the Eight Gates Body Technique, and the two were not comparable.
But the reality is that the difference lies in the imbalance of the eight elements' energy.
The Golden Gate possesses endless flames, but that's all it has. It doesn't possess things like Heaven and Earth, Wind and Thunder, Mountain and Lake. So, although Jiang Yuan's physical universe is very large, only the sixth gate of the Fire Gate, the View Gate, is powerful. Moreover, because the View Gate is fire, he can't unleash the power of the Eight Gates Body Techniques in the deep sea.
"This is troublesome!"
Jiang Yuan fell into deep thought. He was at the complete opposite of the Golden Gate and the Ancient Sea Abyss. He was reborn from the flames and comprehended the physical universe from the flames. But now he had come directly to the ocean, which was full of water. The Eight Gates, which relied on fire, would hardly perform well here.
"Jingmen, Lihuo, Lili Jiuhuo, Tianhuo Tongren."
"The Gate of Rest, the Kan Water, the interaction of strength and gentleness, the highest good is like water."
These are two opposing gates, the second gate, the Rest Gate, and the sixth gate, the View Gate, which are respectively associated with water and fire. Jiang Yuan's eight gates are currently in an extremely unbalanced state. The flames within the Golden Gate have almost pushed the View Gate to its peak. If he were placed in a flame environment, with all eight gates open, he would definitely be able to unleash combat power comparable to the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm.
However, this was the ocean, and the endless seawater became a constraint on his physical skills.
While comprehending the Eight Gates, a bold idea came to Jiang Yuan's mind.
The idea is simple: plunder the profound mysteries of the deep sea to fill the water element energy of the Rest Gate. The essence of the profound mysteries of the deep sea is the water element. If one can master the most fundamental profound mysteries of the deep sea, then the Kan Water position of the Rest Gate in the Eight Gates Body Techniques will definitely be strengthened, perhaps even reaching the same level of concentration as the Li Fire position of the View Gate.
So the problem comes full circle: he needs to kill more sea creatures, and the speed at which he can absorb the profound mysteries of the deep sea in the top-tier battles is far from enough.
"Let's see if the profound mysteries of the deep sea are effective."
Any speculation is just theoretical; he needs to put it into practice to determine the effect of the Deep Sea Mysteries on the Xiu Gate.
He currently only possesses the profound mystery of the deep sea—sound waves, which was passed down from the merfolk ancestors. His own comprehension of the profound mystery of the deep sea is still close to zero, but it doesn't matter if it's not his, as long as it can activate the water element at the Xiumenkan level.
The Eight Gates move in response to water. The Li position was once filled with a large amount of top-level flames. Therefore, when the Kan position needs the water element to fill it, the energy of the entire Eight Gates system is rapidly decreasing. Even the physical universe becomes extremely unstable due to the repulsion of attributes.
But Jiang Yuan knew very well that all the instability was only temporary. If the Eight Gates wanted to be completely connected to the physical universe, water, fire, heaven and earth, wind and thunder, and mountains and marshes had to be unified. Otherwise, the Eight Gates would always be in an unstable state.
"Deep sea, give me strength!"
Jiang Yuan completely released his Kan position; he needed a massive amount of water element. As for how much he needed...
The ocean will provide the answer!
