CHAPTER 451 THE RULE AND MARTIAL ARTS CULTIVATION (PART TWO)

"You have finally come."

A hoarse and gruffly voice reached Darren's ears. He looked up and found that the sound emanated

from a transparent ripple that floated high up in the air. The ripple danced in the air and gradually

formed into the shape of an ape.

The ape seemed quite aged with the appearance resembling the Giant Ape. The only difference was

that this ape was much smaller in size and was almost as tall as a human.

"Sir!" Although the ape was only a shadow, Darren cupped his hands and bowed to him modestly.

"I am just a shadow created from a rule power. The purpose of my dwelling here is to teach you the

knowledge about the rule cultivators. But you ought to know that my cultivation method is different from

you human beings. Mine is a lot like what you humans call it black magic. Because of that, I cannot

teach you powerful fighting skills directly. Instead, I can only offer you suggestions when you are at a

loss for what to do next. The final decision is still yours to make," the ape stated with an authoritative

voice.

"I understand!" Darren answered and nodded his head in agreement.

"Now, I will explain to you the basic principle of becoming a rule cultivator. The road to being a rule

cultivator is nothing different from all the other cultivation methods in the world. The powerful skills that

rule cultivators possessed originated from the forces of the heaven and earth and the Universe Rule, of

course. Powerful as they are, they still cannot match up to the genuinely prominent rule cultivators in

strength. A compelling one can easily comprehend the true rules through the Universe Rule.

For instance, human rule cultivators can perform such means of attacks like Wind Blade and Wind

Spear with the help of the Wind Rule. Those means all belong to the basic standard of utilization. The

compelling rule cultivators can master and control the forces of heaven and earth and comprehend the

true rules progressively.

As for comprehending the true rules, there are also apparent differences in strengths and weaknesses

in it. By embracing the true rules, one can control the rule and make himself immortal."

After the ape's long and detailed narration, Darren finally had a little understanding of rule cultivation.

"Then, sir, how can I comprehend the true rule?" Darren inquired as he grew curious. He was eager to

learn more as he was desperate to win his battles against the Red Inferno Sect.

"You are only at the starting point. So don't try to bother yourself about comprehending the true rule so

early. Let me give you a brief introduction so you will not be in the dark about it.

I will take the Wind Rule as an example, as well. The power of the true rule can be divided into three

levels: the superior level, the medium level, and the inferior level. If one could acquire Speed True Rule

by comprehending the Wind Rule, then even if he is in the inferior level, his speed can still be as fast as

a swishing wind. For example, you know that it is elementary for a six-star grand warrior to kill a one-

star grand warrior. But what if the one-star grand warrior has comprehended the Speed True Rule? The

result is: there is no way the six-star grand warrior could lay hands on him as he had long gone away.

Only the martial arts grand warriors, at least at the seven-star level, can catch up to him and kill him.

On the other hand, the true rules that were comprehended from the same rule could also be different.

One can understand the Speed True Rule while others contain Attack True Rule. For example, the

Storm Whirl and the Limit Penetration are the Attack True Rule that belongs to the Wind Rule, and

those are very formidable. It depends mainly on how you would like to comprehend it. If you

understood the Speed True Rule, you could use it to dodge from attacks or harass your enemy's

concentration, or if you grasped the Attack True Rule, then you would put your energy on attacking

your enemy."This material belongs to .

After hearing the ape's simple introduction about rule cultivators, Darren started to yearn for the way of

becoming a full-fledged rule cultivator.

By now, he had known that even a one-star grand warrior could simply escape from the hunt of a six-

star grand warrior if he had comprehended Speed True Rule. It went without saying that the news the

ape transferred to Darren was really tempting.

He could not help wondering about how potent one would become if he thoroughly comprehended the

Attack True Rule.

"True rules are indeed amazing things to comprehend. But, sir, what would become of a seven-star

martial arts grand warrior if he comprehended a true rule?" Darren asked earnestly as the thought

popped in his head.

The ape replied with his head shaking in doubt. "It is impossible," he pointed out.

"Why is that so?" Darren was puzzled. His brows were pulled in a tightly creased furrow.

"What you are yearning for is far beyond your ability at the moment. At the same time, it is complicated

to explain as well. Let me ask you a question first! You are holding both blade and sword intents in you.

That means you are cultivating the conflicting martial arts skills, am I right?" the ape questioned.

"Yes, it is true that I am cultivating the conflicting martial arts skills." Although still confused, Darren

answered the ape's question obediently.

"Do you know what the cruelest Conflicting Cultivation is?" The ape continued to ask Darren strange

questions.

'The cruelest Conflicting Cultivation?

Is it Ice and Flame Cultivation? Or is it Blade and Sword Cultivation? Or the Feminine and Masculine

Cultivation?'

Darren's mind swiftly went over all the skills he had known that were conflicting with each other.

After a while, he seemed to have realized the correct answer to the question. He knew all this time that

all the conflicting martial arts skills were nothing but martial arts cultivation. What about the rule

cultivation?

"Do you mean that cultivating the martial arts and rules at the same time is the cruelest Conflicting

Cultivation?" Darren blurted out. The thought was so abominable that he himself was even astonished

by his answer.
