nChapter 558: Pressure

nBai Xiashuang made her breakthrough smoothly and she went to Lu Li for her gift at once.

nSince Lu Li had killed many in the small battlefield and had secured quite a number of Interspatial Rings, he had one extra Holy Grade Xuan Artifact which was given to Bai Xiashuang. He also let her go out and have fun for half a month.

nLu Li himself didn't achieve a lot during the month except with his Xuan Energy. He didn't progress well on the front of Soul Shattering and had only mastered some techniques of soul vibration waves.

nNow that he could form vibration waves of physical strength, it was easy to mimic that into soul vibration waves. Essentially, it was the same thing but with different types of energy. Vibration waves could also be formed using soul energy.

nLu Li didn't use people in trials. He could shatter other's souls if he was not careful. Xuan Beasts had no souls so they could not be experimented on, either. He would have to go out and find some condemned prisoners.

nTill now, Lu Li could only generate one vibration wave of strength. There was the Rolling Thunder for him to refer to. But that skill relied on Xuan Force and could generate more power, something that could not be done with physical strength when Xuan Force was not used.

nWhen one smashed at another warrior, only one wave of physical strength was used, naturally there was only one vibration wave. By separating the strand of strength into different vibration waves, the physical strength would be dispersed and the end result wouldn't change.

nFor example, when one smashed something with his fist carrying 10,000 pounds of strength and it was divided into two equal shares. Even if there were two vibration waves, the resulting combined strength was still of 10,000 pounds.

nBy smashing twice it would take longer and could not be regarded as one attack. Lu Li needn't worry about Noble Lord Realm warriors. It was the Human Sovereign Realm warriors that he needed to kill. Would they give him enough time for two strikes? Impossible!

nLu Li aspired to form several vibration waves within one strike with each one stronger than the last.

nIt was actually against common sense. How could one strike containing 10,000 pounds of strength be divided into several strands with each strand having a force of more than 10,000 pounds?

nStrengths were not created out of thin air.

nLu Li was stuck in a choke point and he had been for a month. No matter how hard he tried to deduce or ponder about it, he could not untie this knot.

n

"Should I ask God of Meng since it was him who made this proposal?

"

nAfter deliberating for two days, Lu Li decided to take the chance. God of Meng was a Human Sovereign Realm warrior after all and he had been living for so many years, which had bestowed him with wisdom. Maybe some random words from him could be the solution to Lu Li's problem.

nLu Li came out from cultivation. He checked on Little White and Bai Qiuxue in the ice room before he teleported to the territory of the Titan Race.

nThe territory of the Titan Race was located among high mountains and lofty hills. There was no city because the Titan Race were all giants so they could only dig out many large caves in the mountains. That being said, the caves were elegant. After all, the Titan Race had been operating in the Deserted World for many years.

nLu Li's arrival caused a sensation at the Titan Race. When the giants guarding the Teleportation Formation saw Lu Li, they howled in different tones and pitches. God of Meng came to greet Lu Li with several patriarchs. Many warriors of the Titan Race peeked from their caves with curiosity and respect.

n

"No need to make this formal. I only came for a casual conversation!

"

nSeeing that God of Meng was about to call on clansmen to welcome him, Lu Li waved his hand to stop God of Meng. Lu Li had come on an impulse so he didn't send anyone to inform them beforehand. What was more, Lu Li was not a fan of pleasantries and empty forms.

n

"Saint Lord, in here, please!

"

nGod of Meng didn't continue with superficial courtesy. He invited Lu Li to a cave which was spacious and lofty. The hall in here was miles wide and hundreds of feet high. There were air vents and lighting fixtures adorned with luminous pearl which gave abundance of light to the hall.

n

"Let them go. I have some questions I want to ask you.

"

nLu Li saw some patriarchs follow them in and some were ordering to put on a feast, so he told God of Meng his intention. God of Meng waved his hands and the others left.

nLu Li went straight to his point and he told God of Meng his thoughts as well. Then he asked,

"God of Meng, it is impossible to have strength generated from nowhere and I cannot make one vibration wave into several waves. I don't think your plan is possible.

"

nGod of Meng frowned in silence. That day, he was only speaking without thinking and offering Lu Li some inspiration for him to figure it out. After all, only the things Lu Li learned by himself belonged to him.

nBut God of Meng did feel that Lu Li's question was difficult. He thought about it for quite some time before he said,

"It is actually not from nowhere. I will give you a very simple example. I have 10,000 pounds of strength but I can borrow strength from heaven and earth and increase the power to more than one million pounds. There is another way. My fist still carries merely 10,000 pounds of strength but I have learned a Profound Meaning of properties of gold and it can transform my strength and make it one million pounds…

"

nLu Li was deep in his thoughts. God of Meng actually was swapping concepts in both examples.

nThe physical strength remained to be 10,000 pounds. In the first example, external forces were introduced in by using forces in heaven and earth. The second one transformed the strength to one million pounds, which was different from creating strength from thin air.

nThat being said…

nGod of Meng's words inspired Lu Li. He frowned. As God of Meng had said—if Lu Li wanted to create several vibration waves, he would have to integrate the skill with Profound Meaning.

nProfound Meaning?

nThat was the ultimate truth in the universe. Many warriors had spent their entire lives without being able to learn a single Profound Meaning and Lu Li had already learned two. Even though with the first one, he took a shortcut and stole it from that demon's memory, it was a Profound Meaning nonetheless.

nProfound Meanings were not something that could be mastered randomly. Was God of Meng constraining Lu Li to do something beyond his power by asking him to learn a Profound Meaning and combine it with the skill?

nGod of Meng grinned at Lu Li's reaction. Lu Li never ceased to amaze him so God of Meng wanted to put some pressure on Lu Li to see if he was capable of another wonder.

nTo bring the races back to the Central Plains was not something that could be done by speech. The Northern Desert and the Deserted World had a weak foundation. Theoretically speaking, there was no way they could fight against the Central Plains.

nIt was possible that any one of the 12 Royal Family could make a clean sweep of the Northern Desert and the Deserted World.

nTherefore, for the sake of accomplishing the goal, only one way could be taken, which was for a powerful warrior to appear, a supreme warrior that could beat the best warriors of the Great Land.

nLu Li had the potential but his capacities were far behind. Hence, God of Meng had deliberately exerted pressure on Lu Li, hoping it could stimulate his potential to create miracle.

nGod of Meng thought for a bit and offered an advice,

"Saint Lord, if you are tired from cultivation, you can walk around the Deserted World. Don't stay in closed-door cultivation all the time. Profound Meanings are the rules and orders of the universe. So, you must be in closer contact with the heaven and earth and learn more. Maybe, someday, you will be enlightened and you can make discoveries rapidly. A man who travels far knows more. It is true.

"

nLu Li thought it over carefully. He nodded and left. God of Meng had pointed him the direction and he would have to complete the rest of the journey on his own.
