Chapter 261: Chapter 250 Mortal Realm Mission
"Senior Brother Lu Chen."
Wang Xu’s entire body shimmered with white light, exuding a strong intent of destruction. Every move he made was imbued with the Great Will, and if he were to take action, each strike would resonate with laws.
This is the difference between comprehending the laws and not comprehending them.
The current Wang Xu, if he were to deal with Balrog as before, the first strike of the Double-Headed Dragon Slash would heavily injure Balrog, and with a few more slashes, Balrog would certainly die on the spot.
The wound from the laws injures the very essence of the physical body, and the healing ability of the body cannot erase the damage caused by the laws.
In battles within the Mixed Cosmos Realm, without a law-inflicted wound, relying on the body’s powerful healing ability, unless one has something like Wang Xu’s Endless Fire, it’s impossible to kill the opponent. One can only desperately exhaust the opponent, but there are no fools at the Mixed Cosmos Realm. Once someone realizes the gap in strength is huge, the weaker one will turn and flee. Therefore, casualties between Mixed Cosmos Realm individuals are rare.
"Junior Brother Wang Xu, you... you truly have opened my eyes." Lu Chen took a deep breath. With Wang Xu now comprehending the Cosmic Law, his strength has become even more formidable. Killing a demigod in the Mixed Cosmos Realm is not impossible. More importantly, Wang Xu was born less than a thousand years ago, while Lu Chen spent millions, tens of millions of years to reach his current stage...
Such a comparison immediately highlights the stark contrast.
"I have comprehended the Law of Light, which is a common law, whereas Senior Brother Lu Chen has comprehended the extremely rare Law of Time in the cosmos; I can’t compare to you." Wang Xu said with a smile.
The Five Elements Law is the most common, followed by the cosmic laws like wind, thunder, light, and darkness, and finally the void and the Law of Time.
The rarer the cosmic law, the greater its role in combat. Just like Lu Chen’s Law of Time, it’s practically a lethal weapon in battle; once activated, it can instantly end the enemy’s life.
Lu Chen shook his head, "The Law of Time might be rare, but it’s extraordinarily difficult to cultivate. I’ve spent millions of years to reach a Half-Knowledge stage. If I had chosen a different law, I would’ve become a Celestial God Realm long ago."
"Senior Brother Lu Chen, this is also something I wanted to ask you. Why are you still at the White Hole Level when you clearly have enough qualifications to be at the Mixed Cosmos Realm?" Wang Xu asked the question that puzzled him.
"You haven’t spent enough time in the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion. Once you spend enough time there, you’ll realize that the lower the realm, the greater the potential one can excavate." Senior Brother Lu Chen said, "Now that you’ve comprehended the Cosmic Law, quickly attempt to condense the Sacred Image."
"Alright! I’ll try it now." Wang Xu had never been able to condense the Sacred Image before comprehending the Cosmic Law. Now that he has the law, perhaps this can be improved.
Lu Chen also wanted to witness whether the Sacred Image was as magical as Wang Xu claimed.
Wang Xu immediately sat down cross-legged and formed a series of complex hand seals.
Soon, a faint transparent phantom slowly emerged in front of Wang Xu.
With the Cosmic Law, the process of Wang Xu condensing the Sacred Image became increasingly clear. As the transparent phantom gradually solidified, Wang Xu noticed a significant improvement in his control ability compared to before.
A moment later.
"Condense!" The phantom in front of Wang Xu suddenly became substantial, and simultaneously, the Cosmic Law descended, revealing a life force identical to Wang Xu’s!
"It succeeded!" Seeing this, Wang Xu felt ecstatic and overjoyed. The formation of the Sacred Image meant having a second life, once again rapidly boosting Wang Xu’s strength.
Bang!
However, before Wang Xu’s smile could fully form, the solidified Sacred Image shattered with a bang.
Wang Xu’s face stiffened, his eyes dim, he had failed.
Even Lu Chen felt disheartened. Condensing the Sacred Image was truly too difficult, what exactly was missing?
"Wang Xu, you don’t need to be discouraged. This is the Secret Scripture of the Saint Venerable, and even the Saint Venerable failed. The difficulty is imaginable." The more Senior Brother Lu Chen said this, the more dejected Wang Xu became.
Indeed, if even the Saint Venerable couldn’t condense the Sacred Image, what chance did a minor figure like him, yet to reach the Celestial God Realm, have?
A moment later, Wang Xu suddenly raised his head, "Senior Brother Lu Chen, why don’t you try practicing the ’Formless Sacred Image’ to see if you might succeed?"
Lu Chen laughed in exasperation, "Wang Xu, are you truly oblivious or just pretending."
"The uniqueness of ancient inheritance lies in the fact that it contains the will of the inheritor. Only those who have passed the test and gained the inheritor’s recognition can smoothly practice the inheritance." Lu Chen explained, "If someone forcibly takes it, the inheritor will see it as an insult, at best destroying consciousness directly, at worst leading to death on the spot!"
"Never underestimate these super-powerful beings who left behind inheritances. Their methods are unfathomable... Unless you are killed and the will of the inheritor dissipates, no one dares to meddle with ancient inheritance."
After hearing Lu Chen’s explanation, Wang Xu realized his words were greatly disrespectful to the Saint Venerable, and he awkwardly smiled.
......
After receiving guidance from Senior Brother Lu Chen, Wang Xu finally found direction.
The Cosmic Law aids the Sacred Image, and as long as the stage of the law elevates further, the Sacred Image can eventually be condensed.
Thus, Wang Xu returned to the Sand Tower to continue comprehending the Law of Light, constantly improving.
In an instant, a hundred years passed, while within the Sand Tower, six thousand years flew by.
"The progress in law is so difficult. The unknown in the first stage has yet to reach Perfection." Wang Xu sighed.
Whether it was the inheritance of Secret Techniques, Realm advancement, Wang Xu’s Cultivation speed was extremely fast, but when it came to Law comprehension, it was even slower than a snail.
Wang Xu sought advice from Lu Chen, and Senior Brother Lu Chen directly rolled his eyes at him.
"The fact that you could comprehend the Law upon first touching it is already remarkable. It’s only been six thousand years, and you expect to reach half-knowledge? You have to know that I spent sixty million years back then, only to comprehend the Law of Time to the Prophet stage, and my comprehension talent is above many disciples... Slowly comprehend it. Without hundreds of thousands, millions of years, you can’t achieve much in Laws." Lu Chen patted Wang Xu’s shoulder.
Wang Xu took a deep breath, the Cosmic Law was indeed the most elusive existence, just comprehending this path alone was enough to take Wang Xu a lifetime.
"Focusing solely on comprehending Laws makes it difficult to achieve much. You can observe other people’s Laws, which would be greatly beneficial to you." Senior Brother Lu Chen said.
Will Cultivation Field.
Stele after stele stood tall. These were "Will Martial Steles," the inscriptions on them were chaotic, yet they exuded Will, created by a cosmic powerhouse from Cyan Yang Hall.
Within the Will of the cosmic powerhouse, there might be the Laws they comprehended. As long as you observe the Laws, you can gain Law Insights, and your understanding of the Laws will become clearer.
"It’s simply a treasure trove!" Wang Xu’s eyes sparkled. Each Will Martial Stele was an invaluable treasure left by predecessors, containing their Will Laws and also exuding fierce pressure. Only if not harmed by the pressure would the Will Martial Stele acknowledge you, allowing you to comprehend the Will Laws on it.
Soon, Wang Xu found a Will Martial Stele, and his Spiritual Consciousness was directly drawn into it.
"It’s the Law of Fire!" Wang Xu’s eyes shone, the fluctuation of the Law of Fire continuously sparked new insights in his mind, assimilating these insights into the Law of Light, which was interconnected.
Wang Xu absorbed eagerly, now like a sponge absorbing everything.
"The Law of Water!"
"The Law of Earth!"
"The Law of Wood!"
Wang Xu was immersed in the Will Martial Stele, unable to extricate himself, as if possessed.
Meanwhile, Wang Xu didn’t notice that the Mysterious Flame within him, which had not moved for a long time, was trembling, as if influenced by his abundant Law Insights.
"The first stage of the Law, unknown, finally reached Perfection!" Wang Xu felt exhilarated.
It took only fifty years for Wang Xu, through abundant Law Insights, to finally make a small achievement in the Law of Light, the first stage achieving Perfection.
With the first stage reaching Perfection, Wang Xu felt that the power he unleashed casually was even more fierce, with a casual strike enough to kill an Initial Chaos Universe Realm!
However, following it was the trouble. The Will Martial Steles in the Will Cultivation Field had mostly been perused by Wang Xu once, and revisiting them had little effect.
"I have it, after finishing the Will Martial Steles of Cyan Yang Hall, I’ll go to White Sun Hall, after White Sun Hall, then to Mingyang Hall... The Seventy-Two Halls are enough for me to thoroughly comprehend the Law of Light!"
Wang Xu’s wish was beautiful, but reality was cruel. Even with Lu Chen’s help, Wang Xu couldn’t enter the Will Cultivation Field of White Sun Hall.
"You don’t have enough White Jade, and I’m broke, I really can’t help you." Lu Chen said helplessly.
Disciples of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion can complete the tasks of the Pavilion to earn White Jade, which can be exchanged for treasures, secret techniques, guardian beasts, etc. Wang Xu wanted to go to other Sub-Halls but had to submit a certain amount of White Jade, otherwise, it’s not negotiable.
"Senior Brother Lu Chen, I want to take on tasks to earn White Jade." Law Insights were Wang Xu’s only way to advance. Only by improving his Laws could he get closer to the Sacred Image.
"You’re prohibited from leaving the Heaven-Reaching Sacred Cosmos now. If you want to take on tasks, there are only some ordinary tasks involving the Mortal Realm." Lu Chen said.
"As long as I can earn White Jade, any task is fine!" Wang Xu said, condensing the Sacred Image is his most important goal now, it was his second life, he must first consolidate the Sacred Image.
......
The Mortal Realm is the source of all resources for the Heaven-Reaching Sacred Cosmos, every resource born outside, the Mortal Realm has. Even if the outside Cosmos perishes completely, the Sacred Cosmos can continue to exist.
But the special nature of the Mortal Realm shocked Wang Xu when he heard this.
"The beings of the Mortal Realm cannot leave the Sacred Cosmos?"
"That’s right, all beings born in the Mortal Realm, once they leave the Sacred Cosmos, the Cosmic Law of the outside will directly descend, erasing them completely." Senior Brother Lu Chen said in a solemn voice.
"Therefore, when you’re performing tasks, you must never reveal that you’re from the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, nor can you say you’re from the outside, otherwise, the Law of the Sacred Cosmos will directly erase you!"
"Then they..." Wang Xu looked at humans; humans came from the outside but now reside in the Mortal Realm. Once they talk to the beings of the Mortal Realm, they would face ruthless obliteration!
"Rest assured, while you were comprehending Laws, I already used Law Imprisonment on them. If they try to disclose anything about the outside world to the beings of the Mortal Realm, the thought alone will render them speechless. If they try to write it down, their limbs will be immobilized." Lu Chen said.
Wang Xu sighed in relief.
"By the way, what task did you receive this time?" Lu Chen asked.
"To kill the evil beings of the Mortal Realm!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on .)
