Chapter 341: Let’s See How You Escape?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“He Lao, I have a presumptuous request. Can I try to learn this dao pattern attack? I can also exchange my dao pattern attack that I comprehended with you. It is also of the wind attribute.”
The Fire Demon Panther was a tier-three low-grade demonic beast which wasn’t of any threat to He Lao. After He Lao released the dao pattern attack to easily kill it, Jiang Yi was immediately excited and requested He Lao to teach him.
Although Jiang Yi didn’t have any certainty to get out of this Witch God’s forbidden ground, he still wanted to grow stronger and was extremely interested in dao pattern attacks. In the past, he was forced to grow stronger. After the Demon Empress opened the martial dao window, he had the strongest desire to become a martial expert.
He Lao heard the request and had this surprised expression. Seeing how serious Jiang Yi was, he let out a bitter smile and replied, “Young Master Yi, could it be that... no one explained to you about the dao patterns?”
“The Demon Empress mentioned some things to me. What about it?” Jiang Yi asked in a daze.
He Lao looked at Jiang Yi as though he was looking at a monster. When he recalled that Jiang Yi was still young, that he was born in a small clan, and that he had just stayed in the Mt. Spirit Beast College for just a short moment... he didn’t find it strange anymore.
He muttered for a moment before he explained, “Young Master Yi, dao patterns cannot be imparted. The martial skills created from it can be imparted, but the dao pattern itself cannot be passed on. It is impossible to elaborate on the essence and quintessence of the dao pattern by speech as it would easily misguide others. If they walked on a strayed path and wrong direction, they might never be able to comprehend this type of dao pattern. Since as long as history went, no martial experts would impart dao patterns and would only teach some basic knowledge to facilitate self-comprehension...”
“So that’s how it is!”
Jiang Yi nodded silently and revealed a trace of disappointment in his eyes. This dao pattern seemed very hard to comprehend, and no one could point him in the correct direction. He had to rely on himself to comprehend it.
After pondering about it, he realized that if dao patterns were that easy to comprehend, this world would but crawling with Vajra Realm martial experts. Everyone knew that there were plenty of peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts, but there were only over a dozen Vajra Realm martial experts.
“Young Master Yi!”
He Lao spoke again, “If you want to comprehend my wind attribute dao pattern, I can release it a few more times for you to observe in detail. It will be up to your luck if you can comprehend it. Your instincts should be exceptional, and there are plenty of people in this world with exceptional instincts, too—but comprehending a dao pattern is up to fate.”
“En, okay!”
Jiang Yi nodded and said, “Then when I attack, I will also release my dao pattern attack. He Lao can see if he can comprehend it.”
“There is no need, no need!”
He Lao laughed bitterly and continued to say, “Young Master Yi. Martial artists’ instincts are at their prime when they are young. After the age of forty—if one’s strength isn’t competent, various bodily functions would decline; and so would the instincts. People my age cannot have any more increase in strength. There are a number of Soul Travel Realm experts in the Zhan Clan, but after so many years, I have remained in this stage. I can’t even peek into the gates of the Vajra Realm, and I will probably remain at this stage until the day I pass away.”
“Vajra Realm!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up. He was completely oblivious about such things, and there happened to be some free time for him to ask He Lao. He quickly asked, “He Lao, what is the difference with Vajra Realm? How can one obtain the strength of a Vajra Realm?”
“This is simple.”
He Lao walked and explained at the same time: “When the essence force cultivation has reached the limit, the purple mansion will transform. When one has cultivated to this stage, one’s strength is basically at the peak stage of the Soul Travel Realm. Next would be to comprehend dao patterns. In order to break through to the Vajra Realm, one had to comprehend three types of low-grade dao patterns or one type of mid-grade dao pattern. One would then be able to emerge from the cocoon as a butterfly and step into the hall of the true martial experts.”
“Now I understand!”
Jiang Yi nodded. As he continued to advance, he asked, “How many types of dao patterns are there in total? Can one directly comprehend a mid-grade dao pattern?”
“This...”
He Lao was stumped by Jiang Yi’s questions. He mulled over for some time before he replied, “There are countless dao patterns in the world, which interweave with the laws of heaven and earth. Hence, there are many types of dao patterns. According to the Zhan Clan’s information, there are at least nine types of wind attribute low-grade dao patterns, six mid-grade dao patterns, and three high-grade dao patterns. The fire, water, earth, and metal attributes have the same number of dao patterns. There are also light and dark attribute dao patterns, along with various types of special dao pattern. As to exactly how many are there, even the Vajra and Heaven Monarch realm experts might not know...
“One can directly comprehend a mid-grade dao pattern, but one will need to have instincts that defy heaven, and I am not sure about it either...”
“There are so many dao patterns!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes looked around and at this world. He felt that everywhere was filled with mystics. If a low-grade dao pattern could have such mystical ability, what about a mid-grade or a high-grade dao pattern? Or perhaps the legendary ultimate dao patterns? What kind of astounding ability could it have? Could a single blade rip apart the sky?
“Young Master Yi, be careful!”
Just as Jiang Yi was muttering to himself, He Lao suddenly exclaimed. His eyes instantly took in the view in front of him. His eyes shrank immediately as he cried out in surprise, “It’s this sorcery again?”
Tsk-Tsk!
There were green lights glowing out of nowhere, and countless trees started to transform. The tree branches turned and extended over like venomous snakes—forming a prison cage—while the weeds and roots from below grew with insane speed, wrapping at the two of them.
“Is there someone nearby? Or is this restriction activated automatically? Attacking the people that trespass?”
Jiang Yi was suspicious, but he didn’t have the time to think about it now. He immediately released the Earth Fire to incinerate all the weeds and roots that extended towards him. He then looked over at He Lao and yelled out, “He Lao, don’t let those tree branches and weeds catch hold of you. The green substances on the surface are corrosive to the flesh.”
He Lao trembled with a shock. The three peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts from the Zhan and Qian Clans were turned into skeletons, which he had witnessed personally. The heaven artifact in his hand was brandishing frantically, chopping off all the weeds and roots.
“Ahhh!”
However, the number of tree branches, weeds, roots, and vines were just too many to handle. He Lao grew slightly careless and was hit by a tree branch on his back. The skin on his back instantly corroded and was drenched with blood.
“He Lao, don’t resist. I will keep you into the Green Clear Vase; otherwise, you will die.”
The Earth Fire around Jiang Yi quickly vanished while an emerald green vase appeared in his hand. He used his essence force to cover the green vase while a green light quickly shot out from the mouth of the vase.
Jiang Yi had already refined this vase for a long time, but he didn’t know how to use it. Right now, he just subconsciously pointed the mouth of the vase at He Lao. An amazing phenomenon happened as He Lao actually vanished after being enveloped by this green light. Jiang Yi was immediately relieved when he immersed his thoughts into the Green Clear Vase and noticed that He Lao was within the vase.
Tsk-Tsk!
When Jiang Yi’s Earth Fire was withdrawn, the branches and vines shot over at rapid speed in all directions. Just as he was about to be wrapped, Jiang Yi reacted quickly. He released the Earth Fire and rushed ahead, incinerating patches of branches and vines.
“Eh? The trees aren’t as solid as the previous time!”
When Jiang Yi noticed how fast the Earth Fire was burning through the trees, he couldn’t help but gasp; but he wasn’t bothered by it. He tried to escape as quickly as possible and took around fifteen minutes to rush out of the prison cage.
“Uh...”
The moment he rushed out of the prison cage, there was a startling voice that suddenly attracted Jiang Yi’s attention.
He looked over with lightning speed and saw a figure that was shuttling through the tree branches like a primate, vanishing into the distance. The killing aura from his body instantly poured as he revealed a smirk with cold intent. He yelled out, “Yun Lu! I didn’t expect you to still be alive uh? Hahaha, let’s see how you escape this time?”
