Chapter 506: Chapter 252: Dark Awakening, Elements Resonance_2

Wu Di gave a faint smile, saying: "I am just giving guidance to my own disciple. Dangdang, are you willing to truly become my disciple, the last disciple I will ever accept?"

Long Dangdang was taken aback. He subconsciously thought that Wu Di’s willingness to accept him as a direct disciple, and even a closed-door disciple, was because he had awakened the darkness element.

He already had two teachers, and having one more would of course be better, especially since this one is one of the strongest Magic Demigods in the world.

Without any hesitation, he immediately knelt down to pay respect, "Disciple Long Dangdang greets his master."

"Hahahaha!" Wu Di suddenly laughed loudly. His laughter was full of pride and indulgence, starkly contrasting his usual somber demeanour. With a wave of his right hand, a gentle and cold elemental force effortlessly lifted Long Dangdang.

"Good, good, good. Dangdang, I will definitely train you to become the strongest mage in the world. You shall surpass Zisang Liuying."

When Long Dangdang looked at his teacher again, he found that the current Wu Di seemed to have become a few years younger, his face full of vitality and spirit.

Although he did not fully understand Wu Di’s mood at this time, he vaguely guessed that his talent had attracted this teacher’s attention.

"Follow me. I’ll take you to choose a spirit furnace that suits you." As he spoke, a dark purple halo suddenly radiated from Wu Di’s chest, wrapping him and Long Dangdang. Before Long Dangdang could react, the space around them distorted.

After only a brief moment, their feet were solidly on the ground again, but there were no dizzy feelings as he usually felt after teleportation. They were now in a place where the elemental fluctuations were even more intense than in the Sacred Legate of the Magic Temple.

The sticky power of the elements felt like bathing in a hot spring; even simple actions would be affected by these elemental forces.

A dark purple halo naturally formed around Wu Di, attracting and absorbing the dark elements within the elements. However, Long Dangdang felt like a fish in the sea, feeling joyous elemental forces all around his body. The elemental forces naturally cleansed his body, making his skin appear translucent, like a gemstone.

"This is where our Magic Temple stores the spirit furnaces. Do you know how many spirit furnaces a human body can hold at most?" Wu Di said.

Long Dangdang replied: "Nine spirit furnaces, which are stored in the forehead, chest, lower abdomen, top of the head, back of the heart, and the palms and soles of feet."

Wu Di nodded in satisfaction, saying: "Correct, that is exactly the case. Among these nine spirit furnaces, the five core ones are the most important, and the four in the limbs are the most difficult to integrate."

Long Dangdang nodded. He learned about this principle beforehand. The importance of the five core spirit furnaces goes without saying. The reason why the spirit furnaces of the limbs are hard to integrate is because they must be highly compatible with oneself, and finding a spirit furnace that fits one’s limbs is not an easy task.

"Before you reach the 9th Rank, there are some issues that you don’t really pay attention to. For example, what kind of spirit furnace you are fusing with, and what sort of relationship they have with each other, are not considered very critical. However, once you ascend above the 9th Rank, it’s different. Whether the spirit furnace is compatible with oneself often determines your future upper limit."

Wu Di imparted earnestly, "Among the professionists, there is a saying, ’after the 9th Rank, start anew’. The entry threshold for the 9th rank is ten thousand units of spiritual power. Compared to the 8th Rank, it’s simply double, plus a little more. It doesn’t mean much. However, within the 9th Rank, even a small increase in level involves a change in the accumulation of spiritual power. The difference between a 9th Rank Level 1 and a 9th Rank Level 2 may sound negligible, but it’s the difference between one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand spiritual power. This gap in total spiritual power will result in a fundamental difference in strength. A professionist of the 9th Rank Level 2 could fight and defeat four professionists of the 9th Rank Level 1 at once."

Long Dangdang listened attentively without showing any impatience. After all, these teachings pointed the way to the path that he hoped to follow in the future.

Wu Di continued, "After the 9th Rank, the most critical aspect for improving cultivation is to sort out and consolidate what you have learned and possess. The better your foundation, the easier this process will be. So, if you want to truly become a top powerhouse, you must lay down an excellent foundation before reaching the 9th Rank. Only then would you have a solid enough base for future growth."

"You would know Na Ye, your brother’s teacher, wouldn’t you?"

Long Dangdang nodded, "I have received guidance from Teacher Na Ye."

Wu Di continued, "He is actually quite a pity. He could have become the fourth dragon knight of the Knights Temple, but because of his own issues, his potential was restricted. Personality problems made his foundation unstable. Despite becoming a 9th Rank divine knight at a young age, he will be limited to the 9th Rank Level 2 throughout his life. This is why he, as a dragon knight, isn’t part of the Sacred Legate despite the other three dragon knights of the Knights Temple all being members. That’s a result of inadequate choices and accumulation during his youth."

"After reaching the 9th Rank, harmonizing within and outside oneself is of utmost importance. In other words, you need to have a strong enough body or mental spirit ocean to accommodate the enormous spiritual power. For close-combat professionists, it’s the body that bears the spiritual power; for us magic professionists, it’s the mental spirit ocean."

"If your vessel is insufficient, no matter how much you cultivate, the gained power will only overflow. If you try to hold it back, you might even risk self-destruction."

"During this process of internal and external harmonizing, the spirit furnace often plays a significant role. Many assume that as long as they acquire a sufficiently powerful, or even a large number of spirit furnaces, their future will undoubtedly be robust. This assumption is entirely incorrect."

Upon hearing this, Long Dangdang blinked in confusion. His understanding so far inclined towards the belief that the more spirit furnaces he possessed that suited him, the better.

"Isn’t it better to have more spirit furnaces compatible with oneself?" Long Dangdang asked.

Wu Di shook his head, saying, "You see, your understanding is also flawed. Granted, generally speaking, the more spirit furnaces that suit you, the better. But, have you considered this? Each spirit furnace fuses with you individually; the compatibility between the furnace and you only involves you directly and does not encompass other spirit furnaces."

"What this means is that a spirit furnace that’s compatible with you may not necessarily be compatible with other spirit furnaces that you have already fused with. Do you comprehend?"

Long Dangdang immediately understood and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Therefore, when choosing a spirit furnace, especially when you already have multiple spirit furnaces, whether the relationship between them is compatible, or if there’s synergy can be crucial. This is particularly true for the core five spirit furnaces. Now, you possess three spirit furnaces, one of which is a fusion spirit furnace. Thus, it’s critical to consider whether these spirit furnaces are compatible with each other and how the relationship might change when you merge with other spirit furnaces in the future. These factors will determine the speed and height of your future growth."

Only now did Long Dangdang fully comprehend Wu Di’s intention behind these long explanations.

"So, I need to first understand your current spirit furnaces before selecting your fourth furnace for fusion. The Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace and Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace need not be considered for now. We mainly need to look at the properties of this latest fusion spirit furnace that you have acquired. I’m worried that there is an issue with this spirit furnace."
