"I command Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind, as well as Light, Darkness, Space, and Time!"
Su Wen was surrounded by streams of elemental energy. Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind—the four basic elements—swirled around him, evolving into space. Above his "Heavenly Skill Projection," a space seemed to open, where black and white separated, and Light and Darkness emerged. A profound and unfathomable power manifested along with them.
The Power of Time!
The Eight Great Attributes!
Having just demonstrated his "Heavenly Bead Transformation" technique, Su Wen had informed the world of his comprehensive mastery of cultivation techniques, making every Heavenly Bead Master realize: I can provide guidance for your cultivation. Now, Su Wen was demonstrating his mastery in another dimension: elemental attributes.
Su Wen commanded the eight great attributes! Outside of the Holy Lands, where could one find a Heavenly Bead Master with holy attributes? They were nearly non-existent. Su Wen did not need to display "Spiritual" or "Sacred" attributes; their absence was not noted. He had displayed the four basic elements—Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind—alongside the three superior elements of Light, Darkness, and Space. Excluding Life, he had demonstrated all the most common classifications.
Even the mutated Lightning attribute emerged in the space above him as the evolution continued, a crackling power of thunder manifesting and then erupting.
Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Light, Darkness, Space, Time? No, he had even mastered elemental evolution, manifesting the Lightning attribute! He controlled far more than just eight attributes! Was that all? In this world, beyond common attributes, there existed many mutated ones: the Lightning attribute, the Metal attribute, as well as variants like the Rock or Sand attributes of the Earth element. Most were products of specific environments—like the Sand attribute in the Northwest Desert—but even there, they were rarely fully formed mutations.
Since Su Wen could evolve the Lightning attribute, could he evolve others? What about the Ice attribute? It was a variant of Water, and once mutated, it was no less powerful than Lightning. Before the crowd could even process these thoughts, Su Wen had already evolved them.
The reenactment of the world through Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind was, in itself, a process of creation. It allowed for the deduction of countless elements; common ones were easy, but the evolution of Space and Time was difficult. Su Wen, however, was clearly not focused on the deep deduction of advanced elements, but on the breadth of his mastery. The more attributes he evolved, the more he proved his comprehensiveness. Join the Academy, and you will not only receive guidance on techniques but also rich cultivation experience for the skills you imprint!
And it didn't end there. Su Wen's display continued.
"I possess a technique that can strengthen the physique, making the cultivation of Heaven Essence Power twice as effective with half the effort!"
"I possess a method that can clarify the mind and nourish the soul, making the cultivation of Heaven Spirit Power twice as effective with half the effort!"
"I possess a method..."
Su Wen's voice echoed across the plaza. At this moment, in the Heavenly Bead Plaza, aside from Su Wen's voice, there was absolute silence. Every Heavenly Bead Master held their breath, listening intently. Su Wen was not just speaking; he was demonstrating. Even though the Academy had not yet been established, he held nothing back, displaying one method after another on the spot.
"I possess a method that can increase the probability of manifestation and imprinting!"
After listing numerous secret methods he had developed that did not involve the core secrets of other factions, just as the audience grew dizzy and fatigued from the sheer volume of information, Su Wen dropped another bombshell.
Increasing the probability of manifestation and imprinting!
Shangguan Tianyang's Heavenly Power erupted in a sudden surge of excitement as he stared at Su Wen on the podium. What did he say? A method to increase the probability of manifestation and imprinting?
Damn it, this fellow has truly lost his mind. He's going to pass this on, too?
Shangguan Tianyang felt a creeping sense of unease. Su Wen was too serious. He was actually going to pass on such knowledge; was he going to throw the entire world of Heavenly Bead Masters into chaos? Although these were beneficial actions for the development of Heavenly Bead Masters, the elevation of their overall strength would inevitably trigger a transformation in the balance of power among factions. Those who seized this opportunity would rise; those who did not would be drowned in the torrent of history.
He was forcing all Heavenly Bead Masters to support his Academy and join his ranks, thereby cementing the establishment of the Academy as quickly as possible! Is this fellow really doing this just for fame? Shangguan Tianyang sensed the urgency behind Su Wen's actions, but he could not understand why such a young man would be so desperate.
Long Shiya was left dumbstruck. He had exchanged ideas with Su Wen and discussed cultivation theories, but even he had not known that Su Wen possessed so many methods—methods that could fundamentally overthrow the current status quo of Heavenly Bead Masters! And Su Wen was making them public, right here at the Heavenly Bead Tournament, at the moment when the Zhongtian Empire had gathered everyone in the Heavenly Bead Plaza! He was beginning to evolve these numerous methods for all to see!
The momentum had become unstoppable. Afterward, even if the representatives of the Four Great Holy Lands were unwilling to cooperate, they could not refuse him to his face. The establishment of the Academy was now an inevitability. And if one added the "Academic Realm" as a trump card—as long as the Academy could be opened rapidly across every corner of the continent—the reputation of the Academy as a Holy Land would be secure!
Long Shiya was both excited and deeply shocked. Even without his participation, the Academy's rise to become a Holy Land was inevitable. The only question was whether it could withstand the blockade of the Five Great Holy Lands. Establishing the name of a Holy Land was one thing, but how long one could hold onto it was the key. That was why Su Wen had pulled him into the Academy, and why he had done so before the Academy was even founded.
What was the most troublesome aspect of cultivating as a Heavenly Bead Master? Cultivating Heavenly Power? That was secondary. In reality, the most troublesome aspects were Imprinting and Manifestation. They cost money—a lot of money. And beyond the cost, they consumed massive amounts of time and energy. One could only imprint once a day; one could only manifest once a day. Failure, moreover, impacted one's daily cultivation of Heavenly Power. Most imprinting of skills required hundreds of attempts; manifestation was even worse.
This was the reality for the majority of Heavenly Bead Masters. Of course, great factions had special ways to increase these odds—higher-level manifestation scrolls or techniques to assist in imprinting. But even for Holy Lands, such techniques were not exactly widespread. And yet, Su Wen claimed he had a method—a self-cultivation technique—to increase these probabilities. This touched the heart of every person present.
But that was not all. Su Wen tossed out a final bombshell, one even more shocking than the last.
"I possess a method that can increase the probability of awakening in one's descendants!"
