Bexia kept murmuring what Huayi said, constantly trying to feel the sensation left in her mind. This was much stronger than Bexia's own understanding. The teachings she received were sufficient for anyone to quickly comprehend and break through. However, the extent of improvement one could achieve depended on individual circumstances.

After taking the first step, Bexia stood still and focused on feeling the strength of carrying the mountain on her back. The power emanating from her physical body supporting the weight of the mountain was vast, yet when it came to fine-tuning every aspect, it was extremely delicate. It was like a bull suddenly separating into a pile of cow hairs – controlling a single bull might be simple, but how does one control a pile of hair? The difficulty was not just double but a transformation of epic proportions!

Bexia continuously adjusted the power on her body according to her sensations, feeling the different forces on her back. She maintained a balance by applying equal forces to sustain harmony between them, ensuring that each part of the mountain carried a different force.

It sounded simple, but it was challenging in practice. Bexia finally understood why this was Huayi's unique skill – such terrifying control was not easy to master.

However, Bexia's comprehension was unquestionably impressive. After standing with the mountain on her back for a day and night, she finally achieved a balance of power, making her exert as much power as the mountain needed her to bear.

"Stable?" Huayi, who had been drinking for a day and night, seemed a bit tired as she laid on the mountaintop, lazily supporting her head with one hand.

Feeling that she had almost mastered the balance, Bexia prepared to take a step forward after a brief pause. However, as soon as she moved, the balance she had achieved was disrupted, causing the unequal distribution of power to make the entire mountain tremble.

"Balance in stillness is simple. The crucial thing is balance in motion. Do you think your opponent is an immovable mountain?" Huayi lazily remarked.

"Then, I must move first!" Bexia retorted, taking strides forward, trying to figure out how to maintain the ability to balance while in motion.

The power in stillness is stable, while the power in motion is ever-changing. Their interaction, one still and one moving, constantly calls for adjustments, making it millions of times more difficult than just maintaining stillness.

The mountain swayed irregularly, without rhythm, with varying force distributions. Bexia needed to perceive these changes and correspondingly adjust her power output, keeping the balance point between them in constant flux to maintain the so-called balance in motion.

Gradually, Bexia seemed to have an epiphany. The amplitude of the mountain's vibrations began to diminish slowly. Though the reduction was minimal, with each step, Bexia continued to understand this equilibrium power, eventually grasping the balance between stillness and motion!

This godly and bizarre technique had entered a new realm.

"I've gotten the hang of it!" Huayi's voice came again, with no surprise at all. She had witnessed Bexia's struggles firsthand. Failing to grasp this would mean Bexia's comprehension skills were inadequate – not worth her time to teach.

"But this is only the beginning. If you can comprehend how to wield external forces, to convert external forces for your use..." Huayi nonchalantly commented, unfazed.

"Heh, win or lose, I'll treat you to a drink!"

"Remember, you owe me a visit to the mortal realm when that happens!" Huayi joked.

"I won't forget!" Bexia replied.

Afterward, Bexia cautiously attempted to lessen her power, nearly losing control of the mountain on her back. Breaking the rules of universal power balance was no simple feat.

The reason Huayi agreed to this challenge was precisely because of this. Achieving peak power output was straightforward; it only required minor guidance. However, breaking such limitations was incredibly difficult.

It was akin to a saint utilizing saintly power or an immortal god harnessing their divine force – a universal rule that cannot be easily defied. And Bexia's current task was like wielding the power of a saint to unleash the might of an immortal god, a different kind of breakthrough, not against typical restraints but against established universal laws.

This was a terrifying breakthrough. Once crossing this threshold, a whole new path would open up before Bexia, allowing her to effortlessly unleash power beyond conventional limits.

Take Huayi, the King of Force, as an example. She was a pioneer on this path. Despite just surpassing the ruler's definition line in terms of strength, her combat prowess was formidable. Especially in pure power clashes, even entities with over five hundred rules and powers might not fare well against her.

And in her own definition, Huayi had reached the so-called Fourth Realm of Power, transcending her previous notion of encompassing heaven and earth to dismantling all laws, overpowering everything that stood in her way!
