Chapter 1046: Law of Heaven and Earth

Meng Jingzhou was puzzled as Lu Yang pulled out a giant set of clothes.

"Where did you get these clothes from, kid?"

"Cough, cough, this is a supreme treasure garment that I diligently cultivated for days, pouring my heart and soul into its creation. Your Dharma Idol looks indecent without clothes, so I specially crafted this for it to wear."

In reality, after Lu Yang discovered that the 'Sleeve Dimension' spell made clothes bigger, he kept practicing the spell to shrink them back, aiming to master the true 'Sleeve Dimension.'

However, he never learned the true 'Sleeve Dimension.' Instead, he found that his clothes repeatedly grew larger and could no longer shrink back.

Such large clothes were useless to Lu Yang, so he decided to give them to his good brother.

Meng Jingzhou rolled his eyes, thinking he'd be a fool to believe Lu Yang's nonsense.

But wearing clothes wouldn't hurt.

Meng Jingzhou had his Dharma Idol put on the clothes, and surprisingly, they fit perfectly.

The originally majestic Dharma Idol, holding a shield in one hand and a ge-halberd in the other, gained a touch of scholarly elegance after putting on the clothes, resembling a well-read scholar heading into battle.

Terrifying pure Yang flames pulsed on the Supreme Pure Yang Dharma Idol; a single wisp could incinerate a group of minor demons, its power immense. Ordinary clothing touching the Idol would instantly turn to ash.

However, the clothes Lu Yang wore were no ordinary items. They were impervious to blades, spears, water, and fire, and fearless of the pure Yang flames.

All things considered, Lu Yang was giving them away for free; he was the one taking a loss.

"Not bad," Meng Jingzhou said, quite pleased with his Dharma Idol's current appearance. It was much more refined; previously, it resembled a butcher, which was highly incongruous with his identity as Young Master Meng.

On the way back, the more Lu Yang thought about it, the more he felt something was off. He had spent so long learning 'Sleeve Dimension,' yet in the end, he gained nothing, and Old Meng benefited instead.

"How about I make myself bigger too? Immortal Fairy, do you know how to enlarge one's body?"

He recalled high-level cultivators he had encountered in battle, who often moved mountains, filled seas, and grew immense to fight. Learning how to enlarge his body would be useful in future combat.

"Then learn 'Heaven and Earth Manifestation.'"

'Heaven and Earth Manifestation' was a supreme divine ability, even more renowned than 'Sleeve Dimension.' Few cultivators in the Integration Stage could master it, and Lu Yang, only in the late Soul Transformation Stage, was even less likely to learn it. However, considering Lu Yang's extraordinary talent, the Immortal Fairy thought it might be worth a try.

Besides, if he practiced it incorrectly, it had nothing to do with her.

"Then I'll learn this one!"

Lu Yang returned to the place where he had previously learned 'Sleeve Dimension,' now personally tutored by the Immortal Fairy.

"'Heaven and Earth Manifestation,' as the name implies, is achieved by imitating the power of 'Heaven' and 'Earth,' reaching a state of fusion with the natural laws of the universe, thereby making one's body immensely huge, as grand as heaven and earth themselves!"

"You must form the Heaven and Earth Seal in your heart, and the hand gesture is like this..."

"Little Yangzi, calm your mind and feel the heaven and earth."

The main reason 'Heaven and Earth Manifestation' was difficult to learn was that there were no shortcuts; one could only rely on enlightenment.

Great cultivators who mastered 'Heaven and Earth Manifestation' typically refined a special giant set of clothes to wear after growing in size, but Lu Yang had no such concerns.

As night fell, cool silver moonlight spilled onto the lawn, illuminating a scene of peace and tranquility.

Lu Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, his five centers (palms, soles, crown) facing upward. He took a deep breath, slowly exhaling, as if at this moment, all distracting thoughts were excluded, leaving only a dialogue with heaven and earth.

A gentle breeze swept past, imbued with spiritual energy, bringing the fresh scent of distant mountain forests, as if even the spiritual energy was responding to his call.

Lu Yang also felt the pulse of the earth, seemingly synchronized with his own heartbeat. The earth was solid and powerful, containing infinite strength.

Three days passed in a flash. Lu Yang neither ate, drank, nor slept, completely integrating with heaven and earth.

The midday sun streamed through breaks in the clouds, falling upon Lu Yang's face. He opened his eyes and rose, feeling completely refreshed. Merging with heaven and earth was an unprecedented experience, leaving him with profound insights.

Lu Yang pointed a finger skyward, intending to mimic the World-Honored One's stance of being supreme above and below the heavens.

"Heaven and Earth Manifestation!"

Lu Yang vanished, leaving only his clothes on the ground.

He felt like a high and mighty celestial deity, looking down upon all living beings, who in his eyes were mere ants.

"So this is what it feels like to become a giant? It's indeed a completely different sensation."

The Immortal Fairy flew up into the sky to find Lu Yang.

"Immortal Fairy, I succeeded!" Lu Yang exclaimed excitedly. It wasn't easy; after learning spells for so long, he finally got one right.

The Immortal Fairy scratched her head, unsure how to describe Little Yangzi's state.

The Immortal Fairy cast a spell to conjure a mirror, but when Lu Yang looked into it, he couldn't see himself.

The Immortal Fairy finally knew how to describe Little Yangzi's state: "Second Boss, you seem to have turned into spiritual energy."

A ball of spiritual energy floated in the sky; it was Lu Yang.

Startled, Lu Yang quickly dispelled the spell, reverting to his human form naked, and hastily flew back to put on his clothes.

"That scared me to death! I thought I was going to die," Lu Yang said, cold sweat pouring down him, as if he had just walked through the gates of hell.

For a cultivator to turn into spiritual energy was called 'dissolving into the Dao,' something that only happened after death.

"The steps for casting the spell must have been wrong just now. I'll try again."

There was no absolute safety in cultivating spells. As a cultivator and a seeker of the Dao, Lu Yang would not be deterred by such a minor setback.

"Heaven and Earth Manifestation!"

This time, unlike before, Lu Yang felt completely integrated with the earth, a feeling of profound peace.

The Immortal Fairy watched from the side. She saw Little Yangzi disappear, replaced by a pile of dirt.

"So, that was 'manifesting heaven,' and now it's 'mimicking earth'?"

The Immortal Fairy hissed, realizing how thoroughly Little Yangzi was mimicking heaven and earth.

Realizing the truth, Lu Yang tried several more times, only to find he either turned into heaven or earth, but never a person.

Lu Yang lay sprawled on the ground, staring blankly at the sky. Was it really that hard to become a giant?

Just as the Immortal Fairy was about to go comfort Lu Yang, he suddenly shot upright.

"Hey, I've thought of a solution!"

Lu Yang, true to his word, immediately cast 'Heaven and Earth Manifestation' as before, turning into a mass of spiritual energy.

Then, Lu Yang cast the Taotie clan's innate divine ability, 'Devour Heaven and Earth,' frantically absorbing spiritual energy to expand his size.

"Release!"

Lu Yang dispelled the spell, reverting to his human form. This time, he had become a giant!

"Haha, I knew this would work!"

Lu Yang excitedly jumped up. His idea was correct: if he turned into spiritual energy, he would use 'Devour Heaven and Earth' to consume spiritual energy; if he turned into earth, he would use 'Devour Heaven and Earth' to consume earth. Then, when he reverted to human form, he would be in his giant state!

On Tianmen Peak, a naked giant hopped around, completely oblivious to any problems with his appearance.

"Old Meng, unleash your Dharma Idol. Let's have a one-on-one."

Many days had passed, and Meng Jingzhou's complexion was normal, his strength having returned to its usual state. Lu Yang challenging him now was not considered bullying.

"Can you even defeat my Dharma Idol?" Meng Jingzhou scoffed with a slight smile. He absorbed the sun's power daily, and his Supreme Pure Yang Dharma Idol had evolved to a terrifying degree.

"If you're scared, then don't fight."

"Who's scared of you?" Meng Jingzhou retorted, not holding back. He immediately unleashed his Supreme Pure Yang Dharma Idol, and a majestic pure Yang deity protected him.

"Heaven and Earth Manifestation!"

Lu Yang turned into a small mound of dirt.

"Devour Heaven and Earth!"

Lu Yang frantically consumed the earth near the entrance of Meng Jingzhou's cave dwelling.

"Release!"

Lu Yang dispelled 'Heaven and Earth Manifestation.'

"Sleeve Dimension!"

Lu Yang made his clothes grow larger.

A giant Lu Yang appeared before Meng Jingzhou, matching his Dharma Idol in height.

Meng Jingzhou looked at his good brother with a strange expression.

"Why do you have so many steps to grow big?"

"You talk too much!"
