Chapter 307: The Road of Different Paths Leading to the Same End!
Buzz.
The Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Cannon, which had been radiating a brilliant energy light track from its center, gradually faded after containing the ultimate high-energy.
As the ratio of Dou Qi energy flowing inside the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Cannon changed, the external energy pressure overcame the internal energy repulsion. Under the immense energy pressure, the initial light track that Jiang Lin had expanded to the width of a finger was instantly compressed and disappeared with a loud bang!
After all, this was not the place to experiment with weapons, so Jiang Lin absolutely could not recklessly activate the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Cannon in his hands.
"Since I don't know the depth of energy manipulation at the Dou Zong level, I'm not sure if I can reach that level, but the energy track I've embedded in the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Cannon uses the characteristics of the energy itself. By leveraging the special properties of seventh-grade materials, it forms a self-returning field. In this field, the energy of the heavens will continue to be absorbed by the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Cannon, applying both repulsion and pressure," Jiang Lin explained as the energy fluctuations from the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Cannon gradually dissipated, returning it to its original Xuan Heavy Ruler form.
"In the energy gathering field, the repulsion and pressure generated by the spontaneous formation of heaven and earth's energy will eventually find their own balance. According to the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Cannon's balance, it should be capable of gathering a strike that rivals the full power of a Dou Huang."
What Jiang Lin referred to as "spontaneous balance" meant that, without external intervention, the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Cannon could naturally absorb energy and eventually reach a Dou Huang-level light cannon strike.
"That's why the activation conditions for the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Cannon are so strict. A Dou Wang's control over energy can barely open a small gap, and then time is needed to increase its limit. The balance point for this weapon's energy gathering field is at the Dou Huang level."
Of course, Jiang Lin could adjust the balance point of the energy gathering field lower, but that would be unnecessary. The higher the balance point, the higher the upper limit of the energy gathering field's explosion.
"If there's external intervention, there are specific patterns inside the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Cannon to adjust the repulsion and pressure. By using one's Dou Qi to smooth out the peaks and fill the valleys, the energy pressure will strengthen the repulsion and open the light track. If the energy repulsion is strong, energy pressure will be added, and both human and heavenly power will work together to further compress the energy," Jiang Lin explained.
Operating the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Cannon was very simple. First, due to the properties of the materials, the user must gather energy with the strength of a Dou Huang to open the second form. Before this second form, almost all of the user's energy is fed into the repulsion circuit of the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Cannon. The goal during this stage is to open the light track.
Opening the light track meant that the repulsion circuit and the pressure circuit had reached a special critical point. If the user wanted to continue increasing the energy intensity, their Dou Qi would need to be injected into the pressure circuit, thus forming a situation where human power and heavenly power worked together to oppose the energy of the heavens.
"At this point, the limit of this energy cycle depends on whether the cultivator or the seventh-grade material is the bottleneck," Jiang Lin said, his eyes appreciating the now calm Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler in his hands. This weapon held extraordinary meaning for Jiang Lin. On one hand, it proved that his energy route was correct. On the other hand, this forging experience gave him greater insights, and his understanding of energy application had once again surpassed his previous self.
In the special energy field designed by Jiang Lin, the violent Dou Qi of the heavens was used to "contradict itself." As long as the material's strength could support it, Jiang Lin could continue to drive the spear, forged from the energy of heaven and earth, into the shield made from the same energy, continuously causing more powerful energy explosions.
For the energy spear to break through the energy shield, more energy from heaven and earth must be gathered. The more energy that gathered, the higher the shield's resistance would rise, and with the strengthening of the energy spear, the shield would also be reinforced.
Until a certain energy balance was reached, the energy field would return to balance, and the energy spear and shield would merge.
However, at this point, external pressure could be used to break the balance and allow this high-energy reaction to continue until the material in the field reached its limit, or until the person applying additional external pressure reached their limit. Only then would balance be restored.
Whoosh.
The Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler in Jiang Lin's hand suddenly flew up, and Yao Chen, who was nearby, reached out to catch it. He first examined the unique, beautiful lines on the surface of the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler, then directly infused his soul power into it.
A flash of deep surprise appeared in Yao Chen's eyes as he stared at the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler in his hand. His eyes flickered slightly, and then his soul body transformed into a faint white mass of energy and entered the floating weapon.
Buzz!
The next moment, the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler suddenly emitted a soft hum, and its streamlined patterns once again burst into light. The previously dissipating energy winds in the room reignited! However, the energy winds were soon dispersed, and the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler returned to its calm state. It hovered eerily in mid-air, swaying slightly before flying back toward Jiang Lin.
But just as Jiang Lin reached out to grab it, the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler suddenly veered off course and circled around him several times.
Finally, the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler emitted a voice full of emotion: "I think I understand now… why weapon refiners are so obsessed with 'spiritual weapons.'"
Wrapped in soul power, which was infused with surrounding heaven and earth's Dou Qi, the Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler completed a flight similar to that of a Dou Wang, reducing its own gravity and floating like a fish in the energy-filled world of Dou Qi.
"If I could have a weapon with its own intelligence, capable of self-cultivation and containing immense power... just thinking about it makes me feel like I might go crazy."
The Strange Fire Xuan Heavy Ruler floated before Jiang Lin. This time, however, Jiang Lin didn't reach out to grab it but instead smiled faintly.
"Many people have tried. Many factions are exploring, and they are willing to risk everything—bloodlines, families, bodies, and even relationships."
"Perhaps many people stubbornly believe that they are right. They think only their path will lead them to the end."
"Some have reached the limits of their soul path."
"Some have reached the limits of their bloodline path."
"Some have reached the limits of their physical path."
"Spirit weapons, imperial pills, or even legendary realms…"
"They're all different paths leading to the same end, aren't they?"
