Chen Tianwen recalled the scenes he had witnessed over the past three days and slowly began to speak:
"I saw flowers bloom and fade, I saw all things grow, and I saw vitality."
Bai Zhiwen nodded, signaling Chen Tianwen to continue.
Chen Tianwen let out a long breath and continued:
"I also saw everything withering away, withered flowers and fallen willows, and even rotten wood and dead branches!"
Chen Tianwen then shook his head again and asked Bai Zhiwen with some doubt:
"But I don't think this is the true Law of Wood. The Law of Wood shouldn't just be about life or death. I always feel like something is missing."
Bai Zhiwen nodded again, and said to Chen Tianwen with some approval:
"Mr. Chen is indeed a person of exceptional intelligence. If an ordinary person had your level of understanding, they would have already mastered the Law of Wood."
Chen Tianwen shook his head. He could indeed master the Law of Wood, but he always felt that something was missing, so he had been suppressing it.
Bai Zhiwen did not hold back his praise and continued:
"It was only after I reached the Immortal Lord realm that I built this cultivation chamber and gradually gained some new insights. It's no exaggeration to say that when I was at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, my understanding of the Law of Wood was not as good as yours now, Mr. Chen."
Chen Tianwen's eyes lit up, and he said with a mixture of anxiety and surprise:
"Uncle Bai, what I need right now is the new insight you just mentioned! To be honest, Uncle Bai, I can now comprehend the Law of Wood at any time, but I always feel like something is missing. I hope Uncle Bai can enlighten me!"
Bai Zhiwen nodded approvingly. How could an ordinary person have Chen Tianwen's temperament, being able to control himself from comprehending power when it was readily available?
"Mr. Chen, have you ever witnessed a building about to collapse? Have you ever heard of a single pillar being unable to support it?"
Bai Zhiwen had barely finished speaking when Chen Tianwen stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning, muttering to himself:
"A single pillar cannot support a collapsing building."
Countless images flashed through Chen Tianwen's mind: a towering wooden pagoda, crooked and in danger of collapsing at any moment.
A towering tree struggles to hold on, but how can it possibly withstand the strain?
A gentle breeze swept by, and the towering tree finally reached its limit, shattering with a crash.
The wooden tower collapsed with a deafening roar, turning everything within a radius of 10,000 meters into ruins!
As spring arrives and flowers bloom, new buds sprout anew from the broken giant trees atop the ruins…
Chen Tianwen's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Destruction and prosperity coexist; life can create all things, and destruction can wreak havoc on all sides!"
Bai Zhiwen was somewhat surprised. Chen Tianwen's understanding had now gone beyond the scope of the Law of Wood, but Bai Zhiwen also knew that this was a good thing.
However, in order to help Chen Tianwen fully understand the Law of Wood, Bai Zhiwen still spoke up:
"The laws of wood lack the weight of earth, yet it struggles to survive without it. The laws of wood lack the sharpness of metal, so it is often cut by metal. The laws of wood lack the softness of water, yet it coexists and thrives alongside water. The laws of wood are no match for fire, often being refined into nothingness by fire!"
Chen Tianwen listened quietly to Bai Zhiwen's words, but he couldn't help but speak up as well:
"Although the Law of Wood lacks the weight of Earth, wood, even when reduced to ashes, can give rise to earth! Although the Law of Wood lacks the sharpness of Metal, a giant tree can cut through metal! Although the Law of Wood coexists with Water, it can stop the flow of Water! Although the Law of Wood can be consumed by Fire, a giant tree can also extinguish fire!"
"All things exist in the heart, not in form! Uncle Bai, I understand!"
After Chen Tianwen finished speaking, he didn't bother to understand and immediately left Bai Zhiwen's cultivation chamber, running towards his own room.
Bai Zhiwen sat there blankly, pondering Chen Tianwen's words:
"All things exist only in the mind, not in form..."
After a long while, Bai Zhiwen smiled knowingly, realizing that he had actually gleaned many new insights from those words.
It's important to understand that at Bai Zhiwen's level of cultivation, each new insight he gains means a significant boost in his combat power.
This kind of improvement is not necessarily an advancement in one's realm; it could also be an understanding of oneself, leading to better control over one's own or external energies!
Bai Zhiwen sighed inwardly:
I really don't know whether I guided Chen Tianwen or Chen Tianwen guided me!
After leaving, Chen Tianwen couldn't wait to return to his room, where he activated the original formation and entered the spiritual energy space.
Sometimes, enlightenment comes very suddenly, but it often leads to a huge improvement in one's spiritual level.
But sudden enlightenment is something that can only be encountered by chance!
Chen Tianwen's current situation is not so much a sudden enlightenment, but more like a natural outcome of accumulated knowledge and experience.
Chen Tianwen guessed the location of the spiritual energy space, so he sat down cross-legged, with the lightning-struck divine wood floating around him.
Streams of immortal energy entered the lightning-struck divine tree, and the lightning-struck divine tree generously returned the power of law to Chen Tianwen.
With the power of the laws at his fingertips, Chen Tianwen no longer suppressed his cultivation level, and all the insights he gained reached their peak at this moment.
Although the power of law output by the lightning-struck divine tree is the law of yang, the law of lightning and the law of wood coexist.
However, after entering Chen Tianwen's body, the Law of Wood became exceptionally active.
Chen Tianwen knew that this was because he had a deeper understanding of the Law of Wood.
Although Bai Ze had instructed him to comprehend all three laws simultaneously, sometimes things happen naturally. Rather than deliberately suppressing them, it's better to let things unfold naturally.
Meanwhile, the immortal spiritual energy within the spiritual space was constantly converging towards Chen Tianwen.
The cauldron spirit, who had recently become engrossed in alchemy and weapon crafting, was also drawn to this scene.
Is the moment of advancement that we've been eagerly anticipating finally approaching?
The spirit of the cauldron was somewhat excited, knowing what the current situation meant.
Fortunately, Bai Ze had left behind a top-tier spirit-gathering immortal array, otherwise the cauldron spirit would have been in a complete mess.
The spirit of the cauldron quickly activated the Spirit Gathering Immortal Array, which made the immortal spiritual energy gathered around Chen Tianwen a hundred times more concentrated.
In addition, the room Bai Qingbo prepared for Chen Tianwen already contained a high-level spirit-gathering array. Over the years, the spiritual energy reserves in the room had reached a terrifying level.
When the cauldron spirit activated the Spirit Gathering Immortal Array, Bai Ze, who was hundreds of millions of miles away, also sensed it and knew that Chen Tianwen was about to break through. So he took Peach Blossom Girl and quickly returned to Chen Tianwen's side.
Chen Tianwen has now cut off all contact with the outside world and is completely immersed in his breakthrough.
Chen Tianwen could also clearly feel that after the immortal spiritual energy entered his body, most of it was transformed into pure wood law and gathered in his sea of qi!
