"Thank you, I will make sure to use all my strength!" Flashing a smile filled with joy after hearing Xuan Hao agree to his request, Chu Li wasted no time before starting to gather his power to show off his comprehension and mastery of the Dao of Illusions.
"…"
Feeling the terrifying power that Chu Li was gathering, Xuan Hao narrowed both his eyes as a hint of surprise flashed through them.
Even though Chu Li was still someone in the Soul Ascension Realm, the strength he was displaying far exceeded that of someone in the Soul Ascension Realm and instead gave a feeling similar to the two Earth Immortal Realm cultivators he had seen fighting to the death almost a year ago.
No… It's similar, but there is clearly something lacking compared to those two Earth Immortal Realm cultivators. If I had to say anything to describe it, it feels similar to the difference between someone in the Half Step Domain Lord Realm and the Domain Lord Realm.
Someone in the Half Step Domain Lord Realm might have a pseudo domain and have far exceeded the strength of anyone else in the Nascent Soul Realm without a pseudo domain, but they are ultimately still inferior to someone in the Domain Lord Realm… But if that's the case, what is someone in the Half Step Earth Immortal Realm lacking compared to someone in the Earth Immortal Realm…?
Shaking his head as he thought about this to himself, Xuan Hao focused his full attention on Chu Li. Even if he wanted to know more about the Earth Immortal Realm and was curious about what it was Chu Li was missing compared to the Earth Immortal Realm Experts he had seen, he first had to ensure that his status as a senior remained intact.
Not aware of the thoughts going through Xuan Hao's head as he was looking at him with a stern expression on his face, Chu Li just thought the senior was analyzing his every move to get a better understanding of how far he had progressed and what things he might be able to improve on.
"Senior, I will begin now."
As Chu Li said this, he narrowed both his eyes before he took a step forward and cupped one of his hands, causing a surge of ethereal energy belonging to the Dao of Illusions to spring forth all around him, manifesting into all sorts of mystical creatures, ancient warriors, and other things before gathering in his hand where it merged together into a luminous sphere of light. Rumble~!
Only a short instant after the sphere had gathered together in the palm of Chu Li's hand, did it start to shake uncontrollably as if it would collapse at any moment.
However, before it had a chance to do this, Chu Li decisively thrust his palm forward, sending the sphere hurtling towards a group of Soul Ascension Realm illusory beasts who happened to be passing by-
Roar?
RUUUMBLE-!
Only turning around in time to see the sphere appearing directly in front of them, the illusory beasts had no time to react as the sphere hit, causing reality itself to fracture as the terrifying illusory power contained inside the sphere rippled outward, destroying everything in its path in the process. Including the group of unlucky illusory beasts.
"…"
Observing the terrifying power of the small sphere as the different countless illusory creatures inside of it had merged into some kind of large-scale illusory construct that destroyed everything in its path, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a shiver run down his spine.
Although the attack was not directed directly at him, he still felt like he would die if faced with the attack head on. Making him certain that the level of the sphere should have already transcended the Soul Ascension realm and reached the earth Immortal Realm!
Not only that, but the dao contained in the attack doesn't just contain the Dao of Illusions, but also contain the Dao of Space. Although… The Dao of Space in the attack just now is extremely rudimentary and doesn't even reach the Elementary Realm…
Trying his best to analyze the attack, Xuan Hao also realized that the attack didn't just contain the Dao of Illusions but also contained the Dao of Space.
The Dao of Illusions was used for the attack itself, while the Dao of Space was used to compress and contain the power for long enough to reach its target. In the end, the reason why the sphere had grown unstable earlier was because Chu Li's comprehension of the Dao of Space was insufficient to compress and contain such a large amount of large amount of illusory power.
If he wanted to improve on the attack in the future, he would have to increase his understanding of the Dao of Space, or the attack might end up blowing up in his face at some point in the future.
Hm? His understanding of the Dao of Illusions is clearly far above my own, but won't I be able to guide him in the Dao of Space with ease?
Suddenly realizing this as he finished analyzing the attack just now, Xuan Hao turned to look at Chu Li who had already sat down on the ground to recover the large amount of qi he had just used. "Senior…? Did you already finish analyzing my attack?!" Feeling Xuan Hao's gaze, Chu Li opened both his eyes as he turned to look up at Xuan Hao filled with shock. Thinking that Xuan Hao's gaze meant that he had already finished analyzing his move just now and was ready to give him guidance on how to improve.
"As expected of senior! Really worthy of admiration!" Not even giving Xuan Hao time to answer, Chu Li seemingly went off on his own as he began praising him happily the next second.
This f… Hah… Need to calm down… "S-sure…" Trying his best to not curse at Chu Li, Xuan Hao could only reluctantly nod his head in agreement. Fearing that doing anything else might end up with him having to face the terrifying illusory sphere of light.
In any case, he had already decided to use his understanding of the Dao of Space to improve on the attack instead of trying to use his clearly inferior Dao of Illusions to try and help him. Even if this might not be what Chu Li had originally been hoping for, it wasn't too weird considering that a more profound Dao of Space would indeed improve the power by several times. If taken far enough, it might even be possible to merge the power from the Dao of illusions together with a more powerful Dao of Space to create an even more terrifying attack…
With this in mind, Xuan Hao didn't bother delaying the inevitable as he began pointing out the different mistakes he had spotted when analyzing the attack. Pointing to hundreds of different ways that Chu Li could improve his compression and containment of the illusory power while at the same time throwing in some of his ideas about the possibility of merging the two together into a single attack instead of the dao of space only being used to temporarily store the illusory power.
Of course, knowing that Chu Li might not understand some of the things he said with his rudimentary understanding of the Dao of Space, he also decided to personally show it without using his Dao of Illusions. Ensuring that he didn't end up revealing his far lower comprehension of the Dao of Illusions in the process…
"…And that will be all, I still have something to do, so I will take my leave for now." After over an hour ended up passing with him teaching Chu Li about the Dao of Space, Xuan Hao didn't dare stay around after finishing his lecture- contemporary romance
Swish-!
Wasting no time in using his Drifting Cloud Steps to disappear before Chu Li had the chance to ask him more questions- or even more dangerous, ask him about the Dao of Illusions!
"Senior…!?" Only realizing Xuan Hao was leaving when he had already disappeared into thin air, Chu Li looked around himself filled with surprise for a short moment before calming down again.
"To think senior would leave so fast after he finished teaching me, but… To think senior would not point out my mistakes in the Dao of Illusions but instead my utilization of the Dao of Space. Hah… I did indeed disregard the Dao of Space in my pursuit of the Dao of Illusions.
Even if I just implement a small bit of what senior taught me, I might be able to double- no triple the strength!" Muttering this to himself as both his eyes started shining, Chu Li could not help feeling a new sense of respect towards Xuan Hao.
"Not just my attack, but maybe he was also hinting towards my current stagnant progress in improving my strength. Maybe what I need to do is not just focus on the Dao of Illusions, but instead try and comprehend a new dao to supplement it. If that is the case, the Dao of Space does indeed seem fitting…"
Feeling like he saw a new path appearing in front of him, Chu Li felt all kinds of different feelings surging up inside of him. However, before things went out of control, he quickly calmed himself down and found a place nearby to sit down and go over everything slowly.
After all, the things he had learnt from Xuan Hao would take some time to fully digest before he was prepared to take the next step…
