296: Chapter 296 Creation Divine Iron!!

A single thrust from him could make stars fall.

A single sweep from him could sever a river of stars.

A single twist from him could distort space and time.

A single stance from him could render all techniques ineffective.

Countless insights, understandings, and true meanings related to the Spear Dao surged into his consciousness like a bursting river.

The 'Dao' of Spear Technique unfolded slowly before him.

"Boom——!!!"

An unknown amount of time passed—it could have been an instant or ten thousand years.

As the golden light gradually faded and Qin Yan's consciousness returned to his body, he still felt dazed.

It was as if he had just awoken from an ancient, profound dream about the 'spear'.

However, the feedback from his body and soul was undeniably real.

He gently clenched his fist, then subconsciously made a grasping motion, as if a divine spear that obeyed his will and moved like an extension of his arm should have been in his hand all along.

His 'feel' for the spear was completely different now!

"Is this... the effect brought by a mere ten-thousandth fragment of a Spear Dao Profundity?"

A storm of shock raged in Qin Yan's heart.

Through the impact of that stream of information and the transformation of his own state, he had come to understand the terrifying weight represented by the words 'Profound Truth'.

A Profound Truth was not a martial skill, nor a cultivation method, nor even a simple fragment of a rule.

It was the direct manifestation of the 'Dao' in the world, a primal imprint condensed from a specific aspect of the laws of heaven and earth or the truths of the universe!

It was a ladder to the heavens that pointed directly to the Great Dao!

To grasp a Profound Truth meant you began to touch the most core, most essential power of that domain.

The Profound Truth itself represented the theoretical 'ultimate' and 'perfection' of that domain.

If a being could fully master (10%) a single Profound Truth, then they themselves would become the embodiment of that Dao, a deity of the 'Dao' walking the world!

Their words would become law, their thoughts would give birth to the Dao, and they would be omnipotent!

Of course, a ten-thousandth fragment was like a firefly compared to the bright moon when measured against such a realm.

But even so, the benefits it brought had already shocked Qin Yan beyond measure—it directly and fundamentally improved and elevated his innate talent for the 'Spear Dao'!

He summoned his panel and looked at the 【Spear Technique】 entry.

【Spear Technique: Fourth Stage (87%)】

"87%!" Qin Yan gasped sharply.

Before receiving the Profound Truth infusion, his Spear Technique progress had been just over 5%, having only recently condensed a six-foot Spear Light.

But now, it had skyrocketed directly to 87%!

Moreover, he clearly knew that this directly increased skill percentage was merely a 'bonus' that came along during the Profound Truth infusion process, a natural sublimation of skill following the elevation of his understanding.

Its true core value lay in the fundamental transformation of his Spear Technique talent!

Previously, his cultivation of Spear Technique relied more on forcibly pushing it forward through panel allocation.

But now... he felt the 'spear' had become 'simple' in his eyes.

Those once obscure and difficult subtleties, which required repeated contemplation to grasp even a trace, now seemed 'natural' and 'as they should be', imbued with a sense of clarity.

It was as if a tightly shut door had been pushed open a crack, allowing a glimpse of the vast scenery of the world beyond.

He acted on his thought immediately!

Qin Yan couldn't wait to verify the real effect of this talent enhancement.

He picked up his long spear and began practicing the most basic Spear Technique moves once more, right there in the space where the trial had just ended.

Thrust, lift, sweep, collapse, point, stab... The basic movements executed by his hands now carried an indescribable fluency, harmony, and precision.

Every ounce of force was applied perfectly, the trajectory of the spear tip seemingly in tune with some rhythm of heaven and earth.

Four hours passed quietly in the midst of his focused practice.

Qin Yan stood with his spear lowered, calming his slightly panting breath, and immediately looked at his panel.

【Spear Technique: Fourth Stage (88%)】

"This..." Qin Yan's breath hitched, followed by a surge of ecstasy!

Without investing any Skill Points, relying solely on four hours of pure, insight-driven personal practice, his Spear Technique progress had increased by 1%!

He knew that even using Skill Points, it would have taken him 8 hours to increase by 1%!

"How strong must those geniuses who have grasped more Profound Truth fragments be...?"

Qin Yan didn't dare imagine.

If a ten-thousandth fragment had such an effect, what about a thousandth, a hundredth, or even a tenth?

If someone could gather a complete Spear-type Profundity and become a 'god' of the Spear Dao...

They would likely truly be able to shatter stars with a thought and sever rivers of stars with a single spear.

Only now did he truly appreciate that for those beings standing atop the pyramid of martial arts, besides advantages in resources, cultivation methods, and bloodlines,

this 'Profound Truth' enhancement, which touched the very origin of the 'Dao', was the true chasm that separated them from ordinary prodigies!

It was a dimensional strike on the level of life essence and comprehension.

However, after the shock, Qin Yan's resolve quickly solidified once more.

Though the Profound Truth was good, it also allowed him to see clearly the vastness of the path ahead and his own shortcomings.

Ten-thousandth was just a starting point.

Moreover, through the infused information, he also understood that Profundities were not omnipotent.

A Spear Technique Profound Truth could only enhance comprehension and power related to Spear Techniques, offering no help to sword techniques, blade techniques, and the like.

There was no so-called 'Cultivation Method Profound Truth' in the world that could directly boost the cultivation efficiency of all methods.

"My foundation still lies in... the comprehensiveness of my own hard work... the panel."

The panel could enhance Spear Technique, but it could also enhance Alchemy, and all other skills.

This was a comprehensive advantage that a single Profound Truth could not match.

The Spear Dao Profundity allowed him to walk this 'Spear Dao' path faster and more smoothly.

While the panel ensured he 'had paths to walk', and that 'every path was walkable'.

Temporarily suppressing the tumultuous thoughts in his heart, Qin Yan's gaze finally fell upon the golden sphere of light in his right palm.

The 'Ten-thousandth Spear-type Profundity' had already given him an earth-shattering surprise. So what kind of divine object would this second reward—the 'creation divine iron'—be?

Just as Qin Yan focused his gaze on the piece of creation divine iron in his palm, wondering about its specific effects, the space about three feet above the divine iron suddenly rippled like water.

A faint golden light appeared from the void, rapidly condensing into several lines of text.

Qin Yan immediately concentrated and looked, reading word by word:

【Creation Divine Iron (Primordial State)】

【Origin】: 'A wondrous iron conceived during the birth of a world and the sprouting of all things', capable of accommodating myriad forms.

【Trait One: Supreme Hardness and Toughness】 In its primordial state, it possesses physical strength and energy resistance far surpassing ordinary divine metals. Forces below the fifth grade can hardly leave a mark on its surface.

【Trait Two: Infinite Growth (Core)】 This is the most precious aspect of creation divine iron.
