If it weren't for Liang Yi's move, everyone simply wouldn't be able to so easily clear away the force differentiated by the Abyss Will.
But what confounded Su Youyi was that, normally, the origin of a Law Domain unfolds around the Law as its core.
For example, Su Youyi's Sword Dao Emperor's Crown is the product of her Law incarnation, as well as the core of her Law Domain.
Yet her senior brother's Domain doesn't have any trace of Laws; it seems to center around the senior brother himself, which means the existence of the senior brother has replaced the existence of the Law!
This kind of scenario even overturned Su Youyi's cultivation world view, leaving her immensely baffled.
"It's not that there are no Laws; rather, this Law... it's inside my body."
Liang Yi scratched his head, and after some thought, still chose to explain it this way.
A Law Domain must indeed unfold around the Law as its core; this was an ironclad rule that even Liang Yi couldn't violate.
"The Law is inside your body, senior brother?"
Su Youyi's pretty face suddenly moved closer to Liang Yi, startling him.
Even Chen Hua and the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits blinked, their faces showing that they didn't quite catch the meaning.
Yue Bai and the White Tiger were even more confused, not understanding how the Law could be within Liang Yi's body.
Only Uncle Orange stroked his chin, his face thoughtful, as he seemed to recall something.
Initially, indeed, Laws were born within the body of a cultivator, but after the birth of a new Law, it would separate from the body of the cultivator and settle in an unknown place within this world, adjacent to the Heavenly Dao, existing as the cornerstone of this world.
Thus, the cultivation of cultivators in this world isn't about seizing the essence of heaven and earth for selfish benefit; it's more of a symbiotic and mutually beneficial relationship.
The world provides Spiritual Power resources to nurture cultivators, and cultivators create new Laws to strengthen the world, enhancing the power of the Heavenly Dao.
What Liang Yi noticed was different from the cultivation novels he had read in his previous life: this world had very few instances of Heavenly Punishment.
In the cultivation novels Liang Yi read in his previous life, when cultivators broke through, they often had to endure the ordeals of heaven's five thunders. Those who endured ascended to a higher level, and those who didn't perished. It was quite tragic.
Whereas in this world, other than excessive killing or doing something that incurs the wrath of heaven and harms the world's interests, which might invite the thunder punishment of the Heavenly Dao, most of the time, the Heavenly Dao and cultivators coexisted peacefully.
You cultivate your path to immortality, and I'll just happily wait for the emergence of new Laws.
However, Liang Yi found one aspect that hadn't changed: the cultivators in this world still liked to loudly proclaim things like "going against heaven" or "fighting the heavens," which was both amusing and ironic.
When a cultivator cultivates a new Law and gives it birth within their body, the Law is called upon by the Heavenly Dao and directly settles in some unknown place.
And when a cultivator wishes to use it, they resonate with the Law to manipulate it, displaying its mystical powers.
Once a Law settles in that unknown place, it's considered integrated into the entire Mystic Mechanism World and is essentially omnipresent in this world.
Even if a cultivator dies, the Law will still continue to exist silently within this world.
Therefore, whether the Law is inside or outside the cultivator's body doesn't make a difference, the effects are completely the same, and this has been why for millions of years there has been no issue with the coming and going of Laws among cultivators.
The Demon Spirit Ancestral Land is a place the Demon Clan created at some unknown cost; anyway, the Heavenly Dao didn't react, probably because it didn't harm the interests of this world.
Now, Liang Yi says that the Law exists within his body; this situation puzzled everyone since this was the first time they had seen a Law that wasn't summoned by the Heavenly Dao.
Everyone here is governed by Laws, so what makes you so special?
Being stared at with such a longing for knowledge by his junior sister, Liang Yi felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
"This explanation is really complicated because after I comprehended this Law, it has always stayed inside my body. As for why the Heavenly Dao hasn't summoned it, I speculate that it might have silenced the call of the Heavenly Dao Laws..."
"Hisss..."
The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits took in a breath of cold air, this kid spoke arrogantly, ignoring the Heavenly Dao?
But recalling how after Liang Yi unfolded his Domain, even the Abyss Will had a moment when it couldn't use the Power of Laws and Daoist Skills, the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits fell silent.
The Abyss Will and the Heavenly Dao are on the same level, so if this is how the Abyss Will acts, the Heavenly Dao probably isn't much stronger, right?
Chen Hua, on the other hand, had a look of admiration; indeed, he was proud of his disciple. The words Liang Yi spoke were all true, except for a slight vagueness in one concept.
To say that the whole affair's ins and outs were just a figment of his imagination is true, he didn't even know what was really going on!!
Because in Liang Yi's prediction, the complete form of his Silence Domain is an existence that defies all reasons.
No matter who you are, just shut up, and then take my sword!
And such an unreasonable Law Power Liang Yi searched high and low without finding it, could there be such a Law that could directly silence other Laws? Even the Heavenly Dao Laws are no good...
The progress of the Domain thus fell into a long stagnation.
One day, when Liang Yi was idling and looking for fun on a player forum, he suddenly had a brainwave while looking at the system panel; he had found the most unreasonable thing in this world.
The System!
What's the most unreasonable thing in this world, if not the System? Even the Heavenly Dao doesn't compare, does it?
The issuing of quests, the acquisition of Experience, the enhancement of Daoist Skills, the leveling, and attribute distribution of a character.
Which of these system functions, when taken alone, isn't completely irrational, let alone the System itself?
So, Liang Yi let his imagination run wild, not to directly control the System, but to leverage the unreasonable nature of its rules!
If Liang Yi could truly control the System completely, he wouldn't be here painstakingly working on some Silence Domain; wouldn't it be wonderful to upgrade himself to level 999 and instantly destroy the heavens, earth, and air?
However, the existence of the System is elusive, and even as a Seventh Realm Cultivator, Liang Yi couldn't find any clue under his Investigation, and could only temporarily suppress this crazy idea.
The turning point came when he ascended to the Eighth Realm and received the World Origin sponsored by various Super Forces in a gesture of friendship.
After devouring the World Origin this time, Liang Yi's system permissions were promoted once again, besides the standard increase in the Experience ratio, what surprised Liang Yi the most was that he could vaguely sense the existence of the System within him.
Liang Yi was not clear about the specifics, and he didn't know if the System could be considered a Law, but since he could vaguely sense it, he could utilize it, and finally, there was new progress in the long-halted Law Domain.
Liang Yi didn't want to talk about the bitterness and struggles involved; he had to harden his resolve, losing quite a few pounds and a bunch of hair before finally forming the prototype of his Law Domain.
Of course, the effectiveness of this Domain mostly depends on the strength of the user. Now, let alone directly silencing the Heavenly Dao and Abyss Will, even for Ninth Realm's Chen Hua, Liang Yi couldn't manage to silence him for too long.
But that doesn't mean Liang Yi's Law is useless, because at the heart of Liang Yi's Domain is the unruly System.
No matter how high your Realm and strength are, the moment the Domain unfolds, you must obediently fall silent for a breath.
It doesn't work on anyone coming in; that is truly unreasonable!
It's precisely because of this feature that Liang Yi dared to use this move against the Abyss before.
According to Liang Yi's estimate, to ignore this effect of his Law, one must inherently be above the System's existence.
But for now, it seems that both the Heavenly Dao and the Abyss Will are under the System, and they must also join him in a fair fight of swords after the Law Domain unfolds!
And currently, the Domain is only in its embryonic form; Liang Yi can't even distinguish between friends and foes, once activated, it's a non-discriminatory silence spell.
"What should the Law be named?"
Su Youyi was somewhat excited; her Senior Brother could always do unexpected things that shattered people's perceptions!
Generally, the naming of a Law is done by the Cultivator, so Su Youyi was very interested in the name of this Senior Brother's special Law that was destined to go down in history.
"I haven't thought of one, as you know I'm terrible at naming."
Liang Yi shrugged and spread his hands helplessly; he was afraid to directly name it System Law, that would be truly awkward.
"How about calling it Disruption Domain? To disrupt all deliberate and non-deliberate Laws in the world."
Su Youyi tilted her head and thought about it, finally making the suggestion.
"Good, that's it!"
Liang Yi agreed immediately without even thinking, for there was no reason not to accept his Junior Sister's suggestion.
Once Liang Yi agreed, an invisible fluctuation emerged from the depths of his heart.
Liang Yi had an epiphany in his heart that this fluctuation represented the Heavenly Dao's recognition of his Law Domain.
