I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart - Chapter 247
Chapter 247: Heaven-and-Human Oneness
“A fight between high-level opponents is a battle of law comprehension. Therefore, one’s comprehension ability is the most important.
“Of course, most of the time, it is difficult to snatch other people’s moves. Not only do they require the same attributes, but the opponent must at least be one level higher. For example, if you want to snatch a gold warlord’s moves, you must at least be a king and you have to use a long-range attack… It is difficult for people with the same attribute to fight beyond their rank.”
As his companions listened to Dongfang Yu’s explanation, they slowly understood how this worked. However, they had other doubts as well.
“Wait a minute. Since that kid named Lin Yao is better at manipulating clouds and mist than Lǚ Yang, why didn’t he show it in the first place?”
This time, not waiting for Dongfang Yu to answer, someone spoke up instead. “It’s not that he didn’t want to. It’s just that he can’t. Look over here. After the kid closed his eyes and reopened them, his aura was totally different. He must have unleashed a killer move to be able to manipulate the clouds and mist. After his victory, he looked very pale. This suggests that the move could not be used easily.
“Like I guessed, he must have used some explosive skills.”
Upon finding out that Lin Yao was using explosive skills, many people were relieved. However, they soon noticed that the young genius they relied on, Dongfang Yu, kept watching Lin Yao unleash his abilities, and his expression grew even more serious.
They could not help but stare at each other. After a few moments, someone asked cautiously, “Ah Yu, what’s the matter?”
Dongfang Yu finally came back to his senses after several of them kept prodding him. He then collapsed on the sofa with an ugly expression.
“Ah Yu, what’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing. I was dealt a harsh blow.”
“A harsh blow? It can’t be. This is merely an explosive skill.”
“No. Do you know what that ability is?”
Upon looking at Dongfang Yu’s sorrowful face, everyone present knew that this ability should not be underestimated.
Dongfang Yu did not wait for them to guess. He revealed the answer immediately.
“Heaven-and-Human Oneness!”
Dongfang Yu enunciated the four words slowly. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the room, followed by gasps of shock. At the same time, everyone shouted in unison.
“This is impossible!”
It was no wonder they reacted this way. They knew exactly what it meant to achieve Heaven-and-Human Oneness.
Strictly speaking, this ability was not rare. It was possible for anyone in the world to comprehend it. In fact, almost all human martial artists who had advanced to gold warlords had comprehended it.
However, its frequent comprehension did not mean that this ability was not strong. This was the ability that everyone most wanted and anticipated.
Heaven-and-Human Oneness could also be called Heaven and Mankind Interaction, epiphany, or something else. To be specific, it meant that a man was in harmony with nature in a certain state, allowing himself to converge with heaven and earth.
Such an ability sounded like nothing, but its importance was very extraordinary. After becoming a silver warlord, human beings could no longer rely on simple practice to improve. They had to comprehend combat skills and attain the acme of perfection, transforming them into their own skills.
Combat skills were difficult to master, but it was still feasible to achieve real success. As long as one worked hard, one could achieve it. However, one needed to have a comprehension ability and fortuitous encounters to achieve profoundness and the acme of perfection when it came to combat skills.
The comprehension ability and fortuitous encounters were in a way referring to Heaven-and-Human Oneness.
When one reached Heaven-and-Human Oneness, one could easily comprehend the laws of nature. People used to say that so-and-so had entered the state of Heaven-and-Human Oneness and had instantly comprehended something.
Most of the time, a genius with an extraordinary comprehension ability would reach such a state in their life. Dongfang Yu was such a genius. At a young age, he had entered this state four times.
Given the multiple times he had reached this state, he was even more able to appreciate the preciousness of this state. This state enabled him to reduce the years he needed to spend to comprehend combat skills.
He longed to enter this state all the time, and now, he had witnessed Lin Yao enter this state of Heaven-and-Human Oneness during the battle.
In this state, human beings were able to interact with heaven. Although it could not be said that humans reached heaven, one could be regarded as a celestial being, and one would naturally have an extraordinarily high ability to control the laws of the universe.
However, using Heaven-and-Human Oneness was the most extravagant way to fight. It was meant to be used for improvement and comprehension.
If Lin Yao had been just an ordinary person, Dongfang Yu would have found it a pity and thought that Lin Yao had one less opportunity. However, he saw for himself how Lin Yao had entered the state of Heaven-and-Human Oneness after closing and opening his eyes.
Dongfang Yu was not stupid. He naturally knew what this meant. This meant that the young lad in the video knew that he would enter a state of Heaven and Mankind Interaction and could actively enter such a state.
‘How unexpected. Someone can actively achieve Heaven-and-Human Oneness and do so at any time. Damn it! How can there be such a super-genius in the world?’
In the past, others had hailed him as a super-genius, but now Dongfang Yu was ashamed to discover that the times had changed, and someone else was the super-genius.
He was not the only one who could tell that Lin Yao had achieved Heaven-and-Human Oneness, and Lin Yao indeed had this ability. Heaven-and-Human Oneness was the third talent given to Lin Yao by the Bodhi Tree, which was also called the Tree of Enlightenment.
[Bodhi Tree (7,000/1,000,000)]
[Level: Gold Person (King Potential)]
[Talent 1: Photogenic Memory—Agile Mind]
[Talent 2: Light-Bulb Moment LV3: When the host is thinking hard, there is a 9% chance of entering the state of a sage. In this state, the host’s mental realm will be elevated and will enter a state of enlightenment.]
[Talent 3: Heaven-and-Human Oneness. The Bodhi Tree is the root of wisdom, and there is “Tao” in it. Tao is in harmony with heaven and earth, and the host grows the Bodhi Tree in his heart and gains the ability of Heaven-and-Human Oneness. The host can actively enter the state of Heaven-and-Human Oneness once a month for 10 seconds each time.]
The Bodhi Tree was also known as the Tree of Enlightenment and the Tree of Wisdom. The talent it provided Lin Yao with was also related to wisdom. The first talent was enhancing his memory and brain function.
The second talent was enabling Lin Yao to be enlightened. However, this was a small enlightenment that was mainly meant to make use of his own knowledge base, which was basically seeking answers within himself. The Light-Bulb Moment actually dealt with trouble. This was why Lin Yao had been reading books in order to maximize the Light-Bulb Moment and enhance his own knowledge.
Reading was a good hobby. As he read, he found that not only could he expand his knowledge base, but the Tree of Wisdom would also grow, which meant that his mental strength would grow as well.
Lin Yao’s original mental strength had been barely over 120 points. Breaking through from a martial artist to a warlord would not increase his mental strength. He could only increase his mental strength when he was a silver warlord.
However, as the Bodhi Tree advanced to gold, Lin Yao’s mental strength doubled, breaking through to more than 240 points. It was also because of this that his electromagnetic induction could extend 2,000 meters away.
The first talent and the second talent of the Bodhi Tree were already very strong. However, Lin Yao had a big surprise after advancing to a Gold Person.
Heaven and earth perception, which was also called the Great Epiphany, was garnering strength from the external environment. Although it could only be used once a month and would only last 10 seconds each time, Lin Yao was satisfied with it.
It was because of this ability that Lin Yao was fearless when he faced Lǚ Yang’s provocation.
‘When my body and mind are in harmony with heaven and earth, I am akin to a celestial being. My understanding of the rules is no lesser than a king’s. Although there are only a few seconds a month and I can’t use king-level abilities because of the limited vital energy, I can snatch the abilities of a gold warlord for my own use within these few seconds.’
Of course, his ability to snatch them did not mean that Lin Yao could be a match for a gold warlord. Lin Yao had to consume vital energy when he deprived others of their moves. It was still fine if the attack came with the spirit energy of heaven and earth. It would not consume a lot of vital energy this way. (The cloud whale condensed by Lǚ Yang was mostly comprised of spirit energy of heaven and earth). If a gold warlord mixed their aura with the spirit energy emitted in their attacks, Lin Yao could still deprive them but would consume a lot of vital energy.
