Chapter 711: You Are a Good Kid!
Chapter 711: You are a Good Child!
A good child!
"This..." Wang Lufei was stunned, but he felt that the turtle-like elder in front of him didn't seem to be deceiving him. So, after thinking for a moment, he took off his straw hat and placed it aside.
"Good child!" The turtle-like elder praised with satisfaction.
"Grandpa, please teach me, how can I become faster?" Wang Lufei couldn't help but ask.
Facing the Heavenly Dao's Five Calamities, Wang Lufei had once experienced the feeling of a million punches in a single strike!
Invincible!
At that time, he was truly powerful!
Unfortunately...
After exiting the state called "Enlightenment," he couldn't even deliver a thousand punches in a single strike, let alone a million!
After the battle ended, Wang Lufei pondered and tried various methods, but he couldn't achieve the feat of a million punches in one strike. It seemed impossible.
"You are too impatient, my child!" The turtle-like elder chuckled, then raised his hand and pointed to the void, conjuring a flower.
"Hmm?" Wang Lufei turned to look.
He saw a white flower bud slowly blooming and transforming into a vibrant and beautiful flower.
"Look again!" The turtle-like elder pointed again.
Wang Lufei looked again, and in the sky, a gentle golden rain drizzled down, sprinkling onto the ground.
"..." Wang Lufei vaguely felt something, but it seemed like he couldn't fully comprehend it.
"For you, it was just a single breath!"
"For that flower and that raindrop, those were the most splendid moments of their lives, or rather, calling it their entire lives wouldn't be an exaggeration!" The turtle-like elder spoke in a profound tone.
"Grandpa, I don't understand. What does this have to do with me wanting to become faster?" Wang Lufei curiously asked.
"Come, give it a try. Swing your fastest punch!" The turtle-like elder said with a smile.
"Alright!" Wang Lufei didn't waste words, immediately entering the second gear!
"Illusory Realm Color!" In the next moment, the four colors of the Illusory Realm merged into one, forming patterns that wrapped around Wang Lufei's right fist.
"Boom!!!" In an instant, Wang Lufei's fist struck out, and the sound followed shortly after!
Breaking the sound barrier!
"Hmm! Little guy, now try this!" The turtle-like elder smiled and casually grabbed a leaf, giving it a slight shake.
Countless leaves floated into the air.
"!" Without saying a word, Wang Lufei raised his fists and wildly swung them!
However, when the numerous leaves landed, he had only managed to knock a few hundred leaves away.
"I can't do it, there are too many leaves!" Wang Lufei felt a bit frustrated.
"Then, how about you try throwing leaves?" The turtle-like elder suggested.
"???" Wang Lufei was puzzled, but he still squatted down, grabbed a handful of leaves—easily over ten thousand leaves—and then tossed them into the air.
Then, Wang Lufei looked curiously at the turtle-like elder, wanting to know what the old man would do.
The turtle-like elder made a move!
The old man's hand moved very slowly, as if in slow motion.
Wang Lufei watched as the old man's hand slowly passed through the first leaf, then the second, and the third!
And then...
He went through ten thousand leaves!
"!" When Wang Lufei suddenly snapped back to attention.
He was shocked to find that before the ten thousand-plus leaves had even touched the ground, the turtle-like elder had effortlessly and neatly sliced every single one of them in half!
"How... how did you do that?" Wang Lufei rubbed his eyes, finding it hard to believe what had just happened.
"Time is a wondrous thing!"
"It flows like water, whether you want it to or not, it will continue to flow!"
"Some people lie in the flow of this water, drifting downstream, their speed getting faster and faster! So, they might reach the finish line ahead of others! Because of this, the scenery they see is limited, very limited!"
"But some people... they go against the current! It's difficult, very difficult. Even if they give it their all, they might only slow the flow down a tiny bit, but as long as they don't give up and keep pushing forward, they might eventually reach the finish line!"
"However, what they see along the way will be much, much more!"
"I believe you have experienced going against the current at some point!"
...
The turtle-like elder spoke with depth.
"!" Wang Lufei widened his eyes!
The words of the old man suddenly brought him an odd sense of enlightenment!
The old man's words weren't particularly profound or complicated.
This speech was essentially about life!
One breath of time was nothing more than taking a breath.
But...
That breath was the entire life of a raindrop from birth to falling, or the journey of a flower from conception to blossoming!
So...
What if those beings with cultivation and realms far beyond his own?
In their eyes, was his whole life merely a breath to them?
Wang Lufei used to believe that time was fixed!
To increase his punching speed, he needed to continuously enhance his physical strength and push his body's limits.
However...
Guided by the turtle-like elder, Wang Lufei felt like he had stepped into a whole new world!
The world of the Illusory Realm!
What determined his limits was no longer just his physical limits!
It was his will and heart!
"Thank you! Grandpa... Grandpa?" Wang Lufei turned around excitedly.
However, everything he had just witnessed seemed to have vanished!
He was now standing in a barren desert.
It was as if everything that had happened before was just an illusion!
At that moment, a familiar voice sounded once again.
"You are a good child! Innocent and sincere!"
"I've already passed away countless years ago. To be able to meet you, my final attachment can finally disperse in peace!"
"My child... remember your heart, remember who you're swinging your fists for! Don't let the rules of outsiders and the world constrain you!"
"Your heart is free! Everything about you is free!"
...
The turtle-like elder's words echoed like distant sounds, slowly dissipating.
"Grandpa!!!" Wang Lufei suddenly couldn't hold back his tears!
Even though they had only just met for the first time, Wang Lufei couldn't control his tears.
After a long while, Wang Lufei finally stopped crying.
"Thank you, Grandpa! I will never forget, I swing my fists for whom!" Wang Lufei said earnestly, then...
He picked up the straw hat again.
This time, Wang Lufei put on the hat once more, but he no longer felt the invisible sense of restraint he used to.
Yes!
"My heart is free!"
"So I, Wang Lufei, am also free!"
...
Wang Lufei raised his arms and let out a resounding roar!
"Boom, boom, boom!!!" Wang Lufei's Illusory Realm power erupted with a scale that was ten times, a hundred times, even a thousand times
greater than before, sweeping across a radius of thousands of miles!
At this moment, Wang Lufei truly comprehended the essence of the Illusory Realm!
[Explanation for those who didn't understand]
[Wang Lufei's previous understanding was that the physical determined the world. In other words, how powerful his physical body was would determine what he could accomplish. This was the way of cultivation for human cultivators during the Immortal Emperor Era.]
[However, after Wang Lufei grasped the true meaning of the Illusory Realm, he could achieve the concept that will determines the material world. For instance, water extinguishing fire—normal, but using the Illusory Realm's power, fire can extinguish water. Similarly, iron being harder than wood, but using the Illusory Realm's power, wood can cut iron. This is the concept of will changing the material world.]
[As the understanding of the Illusory Realm increases, one can enter higher realms. This will appear in subsequent plotlines. As for the Immortal Emperor level, they can create their own laws, even realms. Everything within the world they create is determined by the Immortal Emperor!]
[The turtle-like elder's existence predated even the Primordial Era and the appearance of the Heavenly Dao.]
