Chapter 634: The Mother of Natural Laws
After telling her this, Mingyue nodded and took him to a place where a house was built in stone.
That construction was a little strange. It looked primitive and rustic, but somehow, there were no weeds growing on the walls of this place. It was quite a big house with no rooms, only a vast living room.
"This is perhaps the oldest building on the continent. I never knew who it was that made it, but I found it by chance while looking around the world. It's hundreds of millions of years old." She said softly.
Judging by its appearance, it seemed to have taken much work to make.
'It looks like it was made with primitive tools.' Tang Yin thought.
Once inside, Ren Mingyue began to speak.
"Tang Yin, learning the Law of the Earth is not too complicated. But it is not easy either. You should know that the Earth is basically the mother of the other Natural Laws. The Law of the Earth never rejects a bearer who wants to control it, for it is not a demanding Law. Still, there are some important issues regarding its personality."
"Of rude personality, Earth has the purest personality among the Natural Laws; it is not a combination of personalities, but is a plain and simple personality. This is so because it is the Law of Earth that exerts its power over the other laws. Fire is arrogant and airy, and ice is proud and indifferent, wind is passive-aggressive, water has a personality similar to that of wind.
Each of these Natural Laws has defined personalities, but for the most part, they are like children who do not know what they want."
"If you want to understand the Law of the Earth, you only have to pass one test: understand why the elements have personalities. And why that is, I just told you."
"To the Law of the Earth: Fire, Wind, Water, and Ice, they're just little kids with explosive personalities in some way or another, so they don't control themselves."
"That's why Earth has a rude personality. Its only mission is to be able to control these little children that were born from it so that they can't destroy everything because, even though they are children, they are very powerful."
"If you learn that from the beginning, everything will become easier later on. Here, study this book; it will help you understand what I am telling you." At this point in her talk, she passed him a book.
It had numerous writings regarding the earth and how to understand it correctly.
"Before you do that, I will tell you one thing. Right now, you will be able to learn the Law of the Earth up to its initial stage, up to the bearer level. But you won't be able to advance any further unless you do something: Learn the Law of Nature."
"The two are one, though they can be learned independently. Together, Earth and Nature are called 'Mother Nature,' so you must learn both to advance to the next stages. That's it, go study the book; once you understand it, we can start the next stage." She smiled lustfully after saying 'second stage' but turned away so Tang Yin wouldn't notice and went to do something else.
Tang Yin then walked out of there and sat down to meditate.
With all the explanations she had given him, Tang Yin already knew what he could do. He always thought the Law of the Earth was a bit unusual and thought it might be the most difficult to learn, but that perhaps wasn't the case.
As he read the book, he realized that it was. In fact, for others, it might be more complicated to learn the Law of the Earth because the idea is not to 'understand' that the other laws are children but to treat them as such.
But for him, it was different.
From the beginning, the Natural Laws have been treated as children under his Law of Control. So he just needed to learn the other things and understand this more deeply—personality and everything else—which would not be difficult.
He sat meditating for a while, trying to understand the essence. Being a Natural Law that is divided in two in order to form 'Nature', it is an interesting and complicated Natural Law to learn.
It doesn't have too much power, so you must be prepared to have incredible defense but low attack to learn it. That implies that all your power could become defensive.
For many, that would be a problem.
But Tang Yin had no problem at all. Quickly, his understanding advanced and broadened amidst deep thoughts and meditations.
The rustic energy of the place swirled around him and constantly beat against his body as he meditated.
After spending numerous hours under this constant pounding, he understood the earth's energy in depth, the fastest he had ever managed to understand something like this. Even so, he still felt it was lacking, so he moved to a place with more energy and began understanding it.
For numerous more hours, no one disturbed him. Ren Mingyue was watching him from afar, but she said nothing.
She only gave him another book halfway through and made him study it. Both books explained the Law of the Earth very well, so they were of great help to Tang Yin.
After hours and hours of continuous training, Tang Yin felt that enough was enough.
'Could this be the Law that I will understand the fastest? So far, the Law of Fire is the shortest, but it is because I already knew about Fire. In this case, it's because of the Law of Control.' Tang Yin stood up and smiled towards Ren Mingyue, who was sitting far away from him.
"Mingyue, I think I understood what you meant. I have an idea of what you mean, so I think it's time to get started."
"If you think you're ready now, then let's start the second part. Come with me back to the cave." She replied, and both flew back to that place.
