The difficulty of the third stone was indeed much higher. Ye Li kept trying until that evening but had made almost no progress.
He persisted for another day until the next day, and his spiritual power finally reached a new level after repeated consumption, replenishment and pressure.
Nearing evening, when Ye Li's head was already starting to feel dizzy, he finally used the spiritual energy on his fingertips to support the stone that was the size of two human heads and held on for a quarter of an hour.
When Ye Li put the stone down, his eyes became blurry and his whole body was covered in sweat. Holding up the stone for a quarter of an hour was quite a mental drain on him.
"Well, it's great that you can still stand. I still remember that after Ye Hao held up this stone for a quarter of an hour, he laughed so hard that he fainted."
Ye Wuming looked Ye Li up and down, and seeing that he seemed just a little tired, he immediately nodded and praised him.
When Ye Li heard Ye Wuming say that Ye Hao fainted from laughing, he couldn't help but smile.
He found everything about his father very interesting.
"Ye Li, you've sweated so much, go wash in the stream over there and have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow's training intensity will be even higher than this."
Ye Wuming gestured to Ye Li towards the stream not far away.
Ye Li also felt sticky and uncomfortable with the smell of sweat all over his body, so he nodded and walked towards the stream.
After taking off his clothes, Ye Li dived into the water. The cool water made his originally heavy head suddenly clearer.
After washing his body, Ye Li showed a rare lazy look on his face and lay in the water with a stone as his pillow. Only at this moment did he finally have time to pay attention to the changes in himself.
The increase in the strength of spiritual power brings about changes not only in battle, but also makes a big difference in daily life.
Lying in the water, he felt that his perception of his surroundings had reached a new level.
The chirping of birds and buzzing of insects around him sounded so clear in his ears. Looking at a big tree about seventy or eighty meters away, he moved his mind and the power of his spiritual consciousness instantly enveloped the tree.
The lines and veins on the tree appeared clearly before his eyes, and his spiritual power was much stronger in detecting than before.
Details that he couldn't see clearly or might have overlooked in the past were now clearly visible in his perception. Lying in the water, he closed his eyes and used his spiritual power to sense any movement within a radius of 100 meters.
Everything around him, which originally seemed to be changing without any regularity, the blowing of the wind, the gurgling of the water, the swaying of the grass and trees, suddenly seemed to become regular in his eyes, as if there was a supreme being who had given the world rules and made everything change according to these rules.
In this illusory feeling, Ye Li gradually entered a trance state. The surrounding earth, water, and plants seemed to suddenly show him a painting full of traces of runes.
It seems that there are countless mysterious runes behind all things in the world, controlling the flow of water, the blowing of wind, and the growth of plants.
Just when Ye Li wanted to see these mysterious runes clearly, he was distracted and came out of the ethereal state.
All the mysterious runes that I had just inexplicably seen suddenly disappeared, and the world around me returned to its normal appearance.
Ye Li was stunned. He not only doubted whether what he had just seen was real, but when he wanted to enter that state again, he found that he could not enter it no matter what.
"Ye Li, you didn't fall asleep in the water, did you?"
Ye Wuming's voice suddenly came from not far away.
Ye Li was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded: "Fifth Grandpa, I seemed to have fallen asleep just now, but I'm awake now."
"I was saying, you've been washing for almost an hour, how could it take so long?"
Hearing Ye Wuming's words, Ye Li couldn't help but be stunned. It took him no more than half a quarter of an hour to take a shower before, and in his mind, no more than a quarter of an hour had passed while he was lying in the water. How could an hour have passed in just one go
I looked up at the sky and saw that the moon had indeed risen above the treetops. It seemed that a long time had indeed passed.
Fortunately, Ye Li's body is as strong as a monster, and it is summer now, so it is not cold to soak in the water.
Quickly standing up from the water, Ye Li casually threw out a flowing flame talisman and swept it around him, drying up all the water vapor on his body.
The increase in the strength of his spiritual power allowed him to control the talisman more precisely.
After putting on his clothes, Ye Li returned to the hut. Ye Wuming asked him a few more questions with a smile, and then said, "You should rest early today. You can fall asleep while taking a shower, which means you are very exhausted."
Ye Li nodded, then hesitated for a moment and asked, "Fifth Grandpa, all things in this world are made up of the combination of yin and yang, the five elements, wind and thunder. So are the movements of all things driven by the power of runes?"
Ye Wuming didn't expect Ye Li to suddenly ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment and then fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he looked at Ye Li with appreciation and said, "I didn't expect that you, Ye Li, would ask such a profound question. You know how to think about the origin of the world at such a young age. That's great."
Hearing Ye Wuming's praise, Ye Li felt a little embarrassed. He was not thinking about the origin of the world, but what he had seen before suddenly gave him some ideas.
After Ye Wuming praised Ye Li, he continued, "As for the cognition of the origin of the world, our seventh-grade family simply cannot get much exposure, but I have heard that from the highest level of the spirit talisman master, the realm of the divine way, the spirit talisman master begins to comprehend the power of the great way of the origin of the world.
It is said that the changes, births and deaths of all things in this world are all subject to the laws of the Tao.
These laws were differentiated from the original symbol mother that was born in chaos at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth.
The Origin Mother is the source of all runes and the origin of all great ways. It is invisible and formless, yet it has all kinds of forms.
The great laws derived from it gave birth to the forces of yin and yang, wind, thunder and the five elements in the original chaos. Subsequently, these forces converged and changed due to the laws at their core origins, giving rise to all things in the world.
If we follow this statement, there are indeed great laws controlling everything in this world, and the manifestation of the great laws is said to be runes.
In other words, the group of talisman masters who truly stand at the top of the world are able to use runes to return to their origins and explore the laws of the universe.
Perhaps they can use the power of the laws of the universe to directly change the sky and climate, and directly give birth to mountains and stars.
Of course, I have only heard about these things, and I don’t know the details.”
