Meng Jingzhou saw Lu Yang taking out a set of huge clothes, full of question marks.
"Where on earth did you get this set of clothes from, kid?"
"Cough cough, this is the Supreme Treasure Clothing that I've diligently cultivated for many days, exhausting countless efforts to refine. Your Dharma Aspect looks indecent, bare-assed, so I specially refined it for your Dharma Aspect to wear."
Actually, it was because Lu Yang found out that the result of 'Universe within the Sleeve' made the clothes grow bigger, so he kept practicing magic skills to revert the clothes, aiming to master the true 'Universe within the Sleeve'.
However, he didn't master the true 'Universe within the Sleeve', and in the end, he found that his clothes, which had grown repeatedly bigger, could no longer shrink back.
Having such a large piece of clothing was of no use to Lu Yang, so he might as well offer a bargain to his good brother.
Meng Jingzhou rolled his eyes, "I'd have to see a ghost to believe your nonsense."
But wearing the clothes wouldn't hurt.
Meng Jingzhou had the Dharma Aspect wear the clothes, and truth be told, it fit quite well.
Originally imposing, wielding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, the Dharma Aspect, upon wearing the clothes, gained a refined scholarly air, like a well-read scholar heading into battle.
The Supreme Pure Yang Dharma Image surged with terrifying Pure Yang Light Flame on its body, a single strand of which could burn a host of little demons to death, its power terrifying. Ordinary clothes that touched the Dharma Aspect would turn to ash in an instant.
But how could the clothes worn by Lu Yang be ordinary? These garments were impervious to knife and fire, water and flame, unafraid of the Pure Yang Light Flame.
Turns out this was a free gift from Lu Yang, and he was at a loss.
"Not bad," Meng Jingzhou was very satisfied with the current appearance of the Dharma Aspect, much more refined. His previous Dharma Aspect looked like a butcher, which didn't suit the identity of Young Master Meng at all.
On the way back, the more Lu Yang thought about it, the more something felt off. He had spent so much time learning 'Universe within the Sleeve', but ended up gaining nothing, instead letting Old Meng benefit.
"Should I also make myself bigger? Fairy, do you know how to enlarge one's body?"
Recalling his encounters with High-Level Cultivators in battle, they usually moved mountains and seas, and fought by enlarging themselves. Learning how to enlarge his own body would be useful for future battles.
"Then learn 'Law of Heaven and Earth'."
'Law of Heaven and Earth', a Divine Ability even more renowned than 'Universe within the Sleeve'. Not many Integration Period Cultivators could learn it. Lu Yang, only at the Spirit Transformation Late Stage, was even less likely to learn it, but considering Lu Yang's exceptional talent, the Immortal Fairy thought it wouldn't hurt to try.
Anyway, if he practiced it incorrectly, it had nothing to do with her.
"Then let's learn this!"
Lu Yang returned to the place where he had previously learned 'Universe within the Sleeve', with the Immortal Fairy personally instructing him.
"'Law of Heaven and Earth,' as the name suggests, is about imitating the power of 'Heaven' and 'Earth', achieving a state of integration with the natural laws of heaven and earth, thereby making the body immensely gigantic, grand like heaven and earth!"
"You need to form the Heaven-Earth seal in your heart, the hand gesture is like this..."
"Little Yang, calm your mind, feel the heaven and the earth."
The reason 'Law of Heaven and Earth' is difficult to learn is crucially because there are no shortcuts; it relies solely on enlightenment.
Great Cultivators who mastered 'Law of Heaven and Earth' usually specially refine a huge set of clothes to wear after enlarging. Lu Yang had no such concerns.
Night fell, cold silvery rays scattered over the lawn, reflecting a peaceful and tranquil scene.
Lu Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, assuming the Five Centers Toward Heaven position, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, as if at that moment, all distractions were excluded, leaving only a dialogue with heaven and earth.
A breeze passed by, mixed with Spiritual Energy, bringing a fresh scent from distant mountains and forests, as if the Spiritual Energy was responding to his call.
Lu Yang also felt the pulse of the earth, as if synchronizing with his own heartbeat, solid and powerful, containing endless strength.
Three days went by in a blink, Lu Yang neither ate nor drank nor slept, completely merging with heaven and earth.
Noon sunlight streamed through the clouds onto Lu Yang's cheeks; he opened his eyes and stood up, completely rejuvenated, the blend with heaven and earth was an unprecedented experience that left him deeply moved.
Lu Yang pointed at the sky, trying to imitate the Worldly Venerable's posture of 'above all under heaven, I alone am honored'.
"Law of Heaven and Earth!"
Lu Yang disappeared, leaving only his clothes on the ground.
He felt like a Heavenly God high above, looking down on all creatures, who seemed like mere ants in his eyes.
"Is this what becoming a giant feels like? Indeed, it's a completely different sensation."
Immortal Fairy flew up to the sky to find Lu Yang.
"Fairy, I succeeded!" Lu Yang said excitedly, "It wasn't easy, after studying magic for so long, I've finally gotten it right once."
Immortal Fairy scratched her head, unsure how to describe Little Yang's condition.
Immortal Fairy conjured a mirror with a spell, Lu Yang looked into the mirror, but could not see himself.
Immortal Fairy finally knew how to describe Little Yang's condition, "Second-in-command, you seem to have turned into spiritual energy."
"!"
A cluster of spiritual energy was floating in the sky, and it was Lu Yang who had transformed.
Frightened, Lu Yang hastily dispelled the magic skill, reverted to his naked human form, and quickly flew back to get dressed.
"I was scared to death, I thought I was going to die," Lu Yang broke out in cold sweat, as if he had just taken a walk past the gates of hell.
For a cultivator to turn into spiritual energy, that's called transforming the path and it happens only after one dies.
"It must have been a mistake in the steps of the magic skill I used just now. I'll try it again."
Cultivating magic skills is never absolutely safe, but as a cultivator, as a seeker of the path, Lu Yang would not let this minor incident stop him.
