A strange sensation stirred in Lin Mu's chest. He read on, fascinated. The writings went on to describe how ancient monks attempted to synthesize divine metals using the Five Elemental Forces, aligning Earth to support and stabilize Metal, making it resistant to shattering under worldly stress.
Lin Mu's eyes widened.
"This… This is it!"
He stood, the parchment shaking in his grip.
This wasn't a recipe for the Dominator's Breath, but it was the precursor to the ideas that birthed it. And now, Lin Mu understood—he didn't need to find the Dominator's Breath as it once was. He only needed to understand its nature and reconstruct something functionally equivalent.
"Metal stabilized by Earth… Earth pressurized through Gravity… Gravity resonating with Dao…"
It was suddenly so clear.
The missing piece of the True Gold Body Forging Art wasn't just some ancient treasure. It was a process—one that required the elemental fusion of Metal and Earth, driven by an overwhelming external force.
