Chapter 278, Step 6: The Illusory Heavenly Step
"Senior Thief King, I never expected things to turn out this way..."
Ye Kang looked at the Thief King, who wiped away his tears and said with a wry smile, "Lord Ye is joking. This is Huanhuan's good fortune to be taken as a disciple by such a powerful figure. Her achievements are limitless."
"Indeed, if Huanhuan returns in the future, she will likely be no ordinary person."
Ye Kang sighed, but said nothing more. Instead, he instructed Xie Jinghong to send the Thief King back.
Xie Jinghong was completely confused and didn't know why she had to obey Ye Kang's orders. She sent the person away as if possessed.
Ye Kang then returned to the cultivation room.
What he had just experienced made him realize that the world is vast, time is of the essence, and it was not time to give up.
"System, activate the Furnace of All Laws!"
【Ding】
[Host has used 1 activation opportunity; the Forge of All Laws has been successfully activated.]
next second.
Before Ye Kang appeared a huge furnace. Unlike the bloody furnace of demons and the scorching heat of the divine furnace, this furnace was filled with scrolls and words, as if all the truths were gathered within it.
It is because it refines not physical objects, but mental techniques.
【Ding】
[The Furnace of Myriad Laws Notification: Host has been detected to possess martial arts techniques that can be fused]
[Integration Method: Shadow Step + Sky Step + Flying Swallow Soaring Clouds + Roc Demon Fire Control Technique (Flight Component)]
[After fusion, all martial arts techniques disappeared, and a brand new grandmaster martial art was born.]
Whether to merge
Upon seeing the system notification, Ye Kang's breathing became much more rapid.
That was his original intention: to combine the Shadow Step and the Sky Step into one.
Unexpectedly, the Furnace of Myriad Laws incorporated both the Flying Swallow Soaring Clouds Technique and the Roc Demon Fire Control Technique.
The Flying Swallow Soaring Through the Clouds technique is easy to understand. The Peng Demon Fire Control Technique, as a body-refining method, is only included because it is the inherited technique of the Fire Element Peng, and contains some raptor flight techniques.
The Furnace of Myriad Laws should also fuse this part of the flying techniques, and it will not affect the body refining techniques.
Ye Kang nodded without hesitation: "Merge."
【Ding】
[The Furnace of All Laws Opens]
[Nature gives rise to myriad laws, the Dao manifests in three thousand forms, and within the entire universe, the Dao's laws are infinite and endless, ceaselessly generating life, participating in the free creation. This furnace integrates with the host's own being, and based on the provided basic fusion methods, it automatically deduces entirely new methods.]
[Deduction begins...]
[The host has permanently lost the Shadow Step ability...]
[The host has permanently lost the Flying Swallow Soaring Clouds...]
【…】
[Congratulations, host, on successfully fusing all techniques and master-level lightness skill: Six Void Sky-Walking Steps]
[Congratulations, host, on successfully mastering the Six Void Heavenly Steps]
[This opportunity to activate the Forge of All Laws has ended. Please try again, host.]
Ye Kang's lips trembled slightly as he watched the various light-foot techniques on the panel disappear one by one.
What follows is a completely new footwork technique for automatic entry.
[The Six Illusions and Heavenly Steps: Heaven and Earth possess six illusions and six realities. Moving from illusion to reality, without shadow or form, between the transformations of illusion and reality, one step can ascend to the heavens, and another can bring down the sun and moon...]
Looking at the long, detailed introductions, Ye Kang felt overwhelmed and decided to stop reading. No matter how much he read, it was not as good as doing it himself.
With a thought, he casually used his newly acquired lightness skill, and his figure instantly darted away.
Without being touched at all, Ye Kang's figure appeared out of thin air outside the training room.
"An upgraded version of the Shadow Gate! You can even walk through it in real life!"
Ye Kang was greatly shocked, but he quickly calmed himself down and looked up at the sky.
Just then, Xie Jinghong returned, cursing and swearing.
"You surnamed Ye! Why should I help you..."
He had just opened his mouth when Ye Kang transformed into a rainbow and disappeared from the spot, leaving only a black dot in the air.
Xie Jinghong froze, her expression frozen on her face.
"What speed is this!"
He was completely dumbfounded.
Everything that happened today made him feel that the world was so unreal.
His last vestiges of arrogance have now been completely extinguished, and he no longer harbors any competitive spirit.
The world is full of strong people, countless heroes!
Meanwhile, Ye Kang was already a thousand meters above the ground, overlooking the snow-white city of Jinling.
"The last time I climbed this height was when I climbed the Tiannan Stone Pillar."
That's right. It's impossible for a martial artist with innate martial arts skills to fly at a height of 1,000 meters. Even Ye Kang, who has an unparalleled physique, can only climb.
But now that he has the Six Void Heavenly Steps, Ye Kang is like a bird without wings, able to fly straight up to a thousand meters without any abnormality, and move freely wherever his gaze falls.
This feeling is freedom!
And this is merely the beginning of the Six Void Heavenly Steps. If he were to master it to perfection, Ye Kang couldn't believe how free he would be.
In short, his speed right now can be summed up in one word: incredibly fast!
It's improved by at least five times compared to before!
Even the speed at which the Golden Mouth Diviner escaped that night could not compare to Ye Kang's speed at this moment.
"When I first saw Huo Yuanpeng instantly defeat the Three Heroes of the East Sea, I thought he was incredibly fast. But now it seems he's nothing special."
Ye Kang sighed, then gracefully landed, gazing down at the snow-white Nanjing with a look of superiority.
Along the Qinhuai River, small vendors come and go, scholars and literati use the snow as their light, and beautiful women in the buildings reflect each other's beauty. A strong man in a red shirt looks up strangely.
Ye Kang and the red-clad warrior met eyes, and a smile immediately appeared on Ye Kang's lips as he landed steadily.
"Lord Garrison Commander, it's been a long time."
Indeed, this person was none other than the Sky Eagle Guardian, who was not wearing a cloak and was dressed in plain clothes, which made Ye Kang a little dazed.
The latter rubbed his eyes in astonishment: "Ye Kang!? What kind of lightness skill is that? How come you didn't reveal any aura at all!"
"It's a martial art I acquired by chance, nothing to mention. But I must congratulate you, Lord Garrison Commander, on reaching the ninth rank."
Upon hearing this, Tianying rolled his eyes: "Why are you mocking me, kid? Compared to you, what am I?"
"That's not quite right. I was just a bit lucky. By the way, what brings you here today, Lord Garrison Commander?"
The two then joined each other for a stroll along the river.
Tianying sighed, "It's just boring. Ever since I broke through to the ninth rank, the demons in the area I guarded have fled. Jinling has nothing to do now."
"I see, that's a good thing."
"It's good, of course, but it's a little strange to have nothing to do for the time being."
Tianying shook his head self-deprecatingly, then said, "By the way, I happen to have something to discuss with you. A letter came from Qiantang that Duke Wei, Zuo Mingyue, has been colluding with the White Lotus rebels. The evidence is conclusive, and his entire family has been escorted to the capital. The Emperor has decreed that they be executed upon arrival."
Ye Kang smiled and said, "As expected of the Azure Scale Guard, their efficiency is truly remarkable."
"Lord Ye, you'd better not say such things. Everyone is guessing that the mysterious person who defeated the Golden-Mouthed Diviner that night was your master. You are now in a precarious situation and have become a thorn in the side of all the dukes."
"A thorn in my side? Me?"
Ye Kang was completely baffled. How did this matter become so closely related to him?
"If only I had a master like that, I wouldn't have to work so hard..."
"You flatter me. Your master's reputation has long been enough to make everyone in the court tremble with fear."
Tianying's words immediately made Ye Kang freeze.
What do you mean?
Is this an attempt to intimidate the imperial court by using me, a non-existent master?
Am I being used as a scapegoat again?
