NOVPUBAfter that, the drop of purple liquid exploded.
In an instant, it transformed into a purple poison fog and enveloped Lin Jing.
This purple liquid, both when it suddenly appeared and when it exploded, was at least a hundred times faster than the last time he faced the Flood Dragon.
Shrouded in poison, Lin Jing immediately felt surrounded by the poison fog, and breathing became somewhat difficult.
However, although he was within the range of the poison, the toxic fog swirling around his body did not enter his system at all.
He did not show the slightest sign of being poisoned.
This must be the control that the Divine Toad mentor mentioned earlier.
It was then that Lin Jing heard the Divine Toad mentor say:
"When facing that Flood Dragon before, I was simply trying to force it to turn back, so I didn’t use my full strength. Actually, I can control the speed of this Divine Skill’s eruption."
"You must have felt it just now."
Lin Jing nodded and said,
"I felt it. The speed of the poison fog’s eruption just now was indeed very fast, making it hard for one to react in time."
After a moment, the poisonous substances around Lin Jing all dispersed, and the surroundings became clear again.
The Divine Toad mentor then continued:
"The speed at which different Divine Arts are unleashed can actually vary."
"Some Divine Arts require a buildup of momentum, which is why they incorporate binding effects."
"Others, however, do not need this at all, and thus their release is considerably faster."
"In fact, no matter the Divine Art, the longer one comprehends it, the more proficient one becomes at casting it. The speed of deployment also becomes faster, and if it’s a Divine Art that one has comprehended oneself, it can be continuously improved, making it stronger and stronger."
Lin Jing nodded, then asked the Divine Toad mentor again,
"Senior, do domain-type Divine Skills require some form of medium? Like the drop of purple liquid you used."
The Divine Toad mentor shook his head and said,
"I need a medium because my Cultivation Technique is special; I practice the Poison Art, which aids me in using Divine Arts."
"However, if one cultivates other Cultivation Techniques associated with the Five Elements properties, one can directly condense the Divine Skill and then invoke the Five Elements Spiritual Force from the outside world, using it directly to cast Divine Arts without needing a medium."
"Moreover..."
"What I just demonstrated is just one of the ways to use the domain-type Divine Skills."
"In fact, there is another way to use domain-type Divine Skills, which is to use oneself as a medium, expanding the domain outward from oneself."
"However, fights among Cultivators nowadays usually involve Magical Treasures and various Spells. Thus, if one centers themselves, the scope of their domain is limited, making it difficult to harm the enemy."
"Furthermore, because domain-type Divine Skills are related to the strength of the Soul Spirit as well as the domain’s range, if the domain is expanded too large, then the power of the domain’s Divine Skill naturally decreases significantly."
"In that case, it would not only fail to threaten the enemy but also put oneself in great danger."
At this point, the Divine Toad mentor paused, then spoke again:
"Unless, you yourself are a Body Refinement Cultivator..."
After saying this, the Divine Toad mentor suddenly looked at Lin Jing and said,
"Right..."
"I seem to remember Old Yan saying you’ve practiced some Body Refining Techniques, haven’t you?"
Lin Jing nodded:
"Yes, senior."
"I have practiced some."
Lin Jing had never concealed the fact that he practiced Body Refining Techniques. Yan Ming knew, so naturally, the Yan Family patriarch did too.
"Body Refining Techniques..." the Divine Toad mentor stroked his chin, lost in thought for a while.
After pondering for a moment, the Divine Toad mentor continued,
"If you can raise your Body Refinement Cultivation to the Divine Transformation Realm and step into the Martial Dao, and if you can further comprehend a domain-type Divine Skill,"
"then, I fear that within the Divine Transformation Realm, there will be very few who dare to make enemies with you."
"Cultivators who have entered the Martial Dao are already very formidable. If one adds a domain-type Divine Skill to that, it’s unimaginable how terrifying that would be."
Having said that, the Divine Toad mentor sighed and then said,
"Alas..."
"It’s just a pity that for a Body Refinement Cultivator to enter the Martial Dao, it is much more difficult than for a Cultivator to enter the Divine Transformation Realm."
"As for you, you could actually abandon the Body Refining Techniques by now."
"After all, it’s extremely difficult to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm, and if you also divide your attention to practice Body Refining Techniques, it will become even more difficult."
After hearing this, Lin Jing said,
"Thank you for the reminder, senior. I’ll consider it..."
Lin Jing had now entered the Divine Transformation Realm, and even his Martial Dao Cultivation was at the Divine Transformation level.
He simply didn’t want to reveal it yet, which is why he was concealing it.
Facing the kind advice of the Divine Toad mentor, Lin Jing could only reply in this manner.
...
Afterwards.
The Divine Toad mentor told Lin Jing many things.
It wasn’t until a day later that the Divine Toad mentor imparted all his understanding and insights on domain-type Divine Skills to Lin Jing.
Furthermore,
he also demonstrated his Divine Skills for Lin Jing several times, each experience bringing different sensations to Lin Jing.
After patient explanations from the Divine Toad mentor, Lin Jing also gained some insights into domain-type Divine Skills.
After the discussion, the two returned to Spirit Rock Island.
Not having stayed long on Spirit Rock Island, Lin Jing bid farewell to several people and returned to Li Yan Island.
As soon as he got back to Li Yan Island, Ye Yun, having heard of Lin Jing’s return, hurriedly sought him out.
It turned out that the vial of Demonic Beasts’ blood essence the Divine Toad mentor had given to Ye Yun hadn’t been used. Instead, Ye Yun had been waiting for Lin Jing to come back, intending to offer it to Lin Jing.
The blood essence was a gift from the Divine Toad mentor to Ye Yun. Besides, with Lin Jing’s current Cultivation level, even if he used the Demonic Beasts’ blood essence, the improvement would be insignificant.
Ye Yun had recently advanced to the next stage, so the blood essence was particularly suitable for his use, and it would bring him the greatest enhancement.
