Chapter 964 964 Comprehension
As the system's notification tone faded away.
In Jun Xiaoyao's mind, forty-nine War God Illustrations immediately surfaced.
Each of these forty-nine illustrations bore the imprint of a supremely powerful figure who could reach the heavens and span the earth.
Some wielded war spears thrusting toward the sky, others swung great axes cleaving the ground apart.
Some battled the heavens and the earth, others swept through the primordial wilderness.
Every single one of them could be called a peerless War God, unmatched in might.
And within them were condensed the very essence of countless battles, containing the profound truths of divine arts and the great dao.
"So this is... the War God Catalogue?"
Jun Xiaoyao felt a sense of surprise.
He had originally assumed the War God Catalogue would be something like a cultivation technique or a divine art.
But now it seemed the War God Catalogue was neither a cultivation technique nor a divine art.
Strictly speaking, it was a supreme method that expounded upon the subtleties of martial arts and the mysteries of divine powers.
Each of the forty-nine War God Illustrations contained incomparably profound combat essence and secrets.
As the saying goes, the great expansion number is forty-nine.
These forty-nine War God Illustrations had already pushed the essence of divine art combat to its absolute limit.
"For me, this might be exactly what I need most."
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes shone brightly.
He was not lacking in cultivation techniques right now, nor was he lacking in divine arts.
What he lacked was comprehension.
This was also why Jun Xiaoyao's self-created divine art of the primordial great dao, Genesis, had been unable to comprehend its third form for so long.
It was not because Jun Xiaoyao's comprehension was weak.
Rather, his foundation was too thin, lacking in accumulated experience.
Those capable of creating their own divine arts were, at the very least, powerful beings who had lived for tens of thousands of years.
Their experiences and breadth of vision were incomparably rich, like a treasure trove unto themselves.
And Jun Xiaoyao?
He was still far too young.
At an age of twenty or thirty, among cultivators, he could not even be called an infant — at most, he was equivalent to a fledgling youth just starting out.
That Jun Xiaoyao had reached this level at such an age already made him an absolute prodigy.
His life experience was obviously incomparable to those ancient monsters who had lived for tens of thousands of years.
And the War God Catalogue could just fill in what Jun Xiaoyao lacked in accumulated experience.
"Even a single one of these forty-nine War God Illustrations, if given to a heaven's pride to comprehend, could forge a War God."
"Let alone all forty-nine — if one could fully comprehend them all, they would probably be no inferior to the Chaotic Ancient Emperor at his peak." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
The Chaotic Ancient Emperor had spent his entire life in battle.
His combat experience and accumulated insight were incomparably rich.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to create the Chaos Heaven Secret Art, a top-tier forbidden technique.
And the War God Catalogue, in a sense, saved Jun Xiaoyao the time needed for accumulation.
If he were to fully comprehend all forty-nine War God Illustrations, his understanding of divine art combat would be no weaker than that of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.
It might even ascend to an entirely new realm.
"I have a feeling that if I can comprehend the War God Catalogue, combined with a spark of inspiration, my primordial great dao divine art will evolve into its third form."
Jun Xiaoyao's self-created divine art, Genesis, currently had only two forms.
Divine Light, and Divine Punishment.
There was also a fusion killing strike that unleashed both forms simultaneously.
However, that killing strike could not be counted as a third form.
Jun Xiaoyao was confident.
If Genesis could evolve into a third form,
it would absolutely be more powerful than the combined might of the first two forms!
After signing in for the War God Catalogue, Jun Xiaoyao sat cross-legged directly beside the Divine Wail War Halberd and began to comprehend it.
In any case, Prince Mojie had not yet arrived, so he could take advantage of this gap to gain an initial grasp of the War God Catalogue's essence.
"Huh, why did the Chaos Physique just sit down?"
Many people were puzzled.
"With a great enemy approaching, it makes sense to settle one's mind."
Many people assumed Jun Xiaoyao was calming his mental state.
After all, his opponent this time was no mere heaven's pride of the ten great kings level.
This was a true supreme heaven's pride, one of the Seven Little Emperors.
Likely no young cultivator from the foreign realm could remain unmoved when facing one of the Seven Little Emperors.
They naturally had no idea that Jun Xiaoyao was comprehending the War God Catalogue.
Time passed little by little.
What puzzled everyone was that Prince Mojie did not arrive quickly.
It seemed as though he was deliberately stalling for time, leaving Jun Xiaoyao to wait here idly.
"I understand now — attacking the mind is the superior strategy. Prince Mojie wants the Chaos Physique to feel the pressure."
"Exactly. The longer it drags on, the more likely one's mental state is to waver. Prince Mojie's psychological tactic here is truly masterful."
Not just the academy disciples, even the elders were full of admiration.
As one of the Seven Little Emperors, Prince Mojie was indeed extraordinary.
True character reveals itself in the details.
This delaying psychological tactic alone showed how meticulous Prince Mojie's mind was.
"I wonder if this young friend can withstand such pressure."
Elder Mu's gaze turned toward Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao remained seated cross-legged in place, eyes closed.
In this brief span of time, Jun Xiaoyao had already gained an initial comprehension of the subtleties within several War God Illustrations.
"So that's it — the War God Catalogue actually conceals such a wondrous method within it, one that needs to be extracted."
Jun Xiaoyao felt a sudden clarity in his heart.
In this short span of time, he had comprehended an essence from within the War God Catalogue.
The Holy Combat Method!
Master one method, and all methods are mastered!
This kind of method could deduce all divine arts and simulate every form of combat technique!
This was the very core of the War God Catalogue.
Jun Xiaoyao had only just made initial contact with it, yet had already comprehended this essence.
One had to say, his talent was prodigious to the extreme.
Outsiders naturally had no idea what gains Jun Xiaoyao had made.
If Prince Mojie were to learn that his deliberate stalling had done nothing but allow Jun Xiaoyao to comprehend a new method,
he would probably be coughing up blood.
In the time that followed, Jun Xiaoyao further comprehended various scattered divine arts from the War God Catalogue.
Such as the War Stele Hand, the Mountain-Moving Seal, the Heaven-Splitting Fist, and others.
While none of them were earth-shattering great divine arts, they could still enrich Jun Xiaoyao's combat arsenal.
After all, his current identity was that of the Chaos Physique, and many of his previous techniques could not be used, lest he expose his true identity.
Finally.
Ten days later.
Above the War God Academy.
A golden road woven from the power of laws stretched and unfurled from the distant horizon.
Upon that golden road, a transcendent figure strolled leisurely forward.
It was an exceptionally handsome young man, his long hair reaching his waist, swaying gently in the wind.
His skin was like white jade, even more delicate than that of many women.
Around him, ten divine rings enveloped his body.
He was like a beautiful deity stepping out of myth, wreathed in the halo of the great dao.
Prince Mojie had arrived!
"It's Prince Mojie!"
The entire War God Mountain erupted in commotion, as the gazes of heaven's pride from all directions converged upon him.
Many among them were seeing a heaven's pride of the Seven Little Emperors level for the very first time.
A single glance was enough to make one's heart tremble.
He was simply like the son of a deity, descended into the mortal world.
Prince Mojie's aura was too transcendent, his supreme pressure surging outward.
Those ten divine rings of magical power immunity made him appear all the more like the son of a god.
The overwhelming presence and pressure that washed over them filled all who felt it with awe.
At that very same moment, Jun Xiaoyao, who had been sitting cross-legged beside the Divine Wail War Halberd, slowly opened his eyes.
The gazes of the two met and crossed in the void.
Heaven and earth fell silent, ten thousand people held their breath.
A world-shaking great battle was about to unfold!
