Chapter 522 Gu Xuan
After entering the seclusion, w.a.n.g Wei took a short time to complete the scriptures for the chat group. And in the process, he understood the Five Elements Law, Shadow Law, and Seven Emotions Six Desire Law.
He also took time to understand Pill Law, Talisman Law, Array Law, and Refinement Law. He wanted the lay the foundation to comprehend the Grand Dao Source of these professions so he could refine Emperor Pills or Emperor Talismans in the future.
Most Emperors have to nourish Quasi-Emperor Tier Pills with their Grand Dao Source to elevate them to the Emperor Tier. However, such Emperor Pills are not nearly as effective as genuine the ones refined with Pill Dao Grand Source.
Moreover, there are other advantages that he learned from Wu Hong. For example, Time Acceleration Arrays are useless against Immortal Tier cultivators unless it is some special or unique secret realms. But those would become useless after some point.
In the upper dimension, time is both useless and the most valuable thing. These immortal cultivators do not have to worry about their lifespan; however, they have to spend a ridiculous amount of time cultivating.
So, Time Acceleration Formation is the solution to their problem. Unfortunately, as higher beings, they have a resistance to mortal-level time-related formations or abilities.
However, Time Formation created by Immortal cultivators would require someone who cultivated the Array Dao to a very high level or someone who minored in Array Dao and cultivated Time Dao.
Any of these two requirements are incredibly scarce, so any Array Master who sets Time Formation are sought after in the upper dimension.
Another possible way to achieve the same result is have a Paragon who can bend s.p.a.ce-time at will or travel through the River of Time like their backyard garden set up the formation.
w.a.n.g Wei wanted to set the foundation for the future and leave an Immortal Tier Time Formation for the Dao Opening Sect since it did not have one.
The Miscellaneous Emperor was the only Emperor who cultivated Array Dao as a minor Dao, but he did not cultivate Time Dao, so he did not leave one behind.
The sect has one of these unique secret realms with time acceleration, but most Immortal powerhouses are now immune to them after using them for so long. Moreover, this secret realm"s time acceleration is not as much as they would have wanted.
After understanding these laws, w.a.n.g Wei underwent the Law Combination Process. Cultivators can combine different laws in the Law Foundation Stage to form others or evolve their laws.
For example, Fire Law could evolve into Pure Yang Law, Water Law into Pure Yin Law. Or, they could combine Mist Law, Cloud Law, and Tidal Wave Law into the higher form of Water Law.
Another example is Wu Hong"s Sealing Law. In this stage, she combined Sealing Laws, Control Laws, Absorption Laws, Array Laws, and a small aspect of the Dao of Heaven: Knowledge Law.
As a result, her Sealing Law is both powerful and unique to her.
There are many possibilities in this cultivation stage, and cultivators usually take their time in this realm.
In this stage, w.a.n.g Wei combined the different laws based on his incarnations to create Fate Law: Luck, Destiny, s.p.a.ce-Time, Samsara, Order-Disorder, and Karma.
Once that was done, he used Yin-Yang Laws as the link to fuse his Fate Law with the Freedom Law, creating a unique Fate Law that encompa.s.sed both fatalism and free will.
Inside w.a.n.g Wei"s Divine Sea: the moment he finished establis.h.i.+ng his primary Law, the Law Seed shone with brilliant light before a small bud grew from the seed.
He knew he had officially entered the Law Body stage, a stage that w.a.n.g Wei felt was unnecessary, primarily to him. In this stage, the cultivator"s law will nourish their bodies and soul to make them stronger.
However, since he is walking the path of True Power Dao, he cannot use any laws to increase the strength of his fleshly body. Nevertheless, this is not why he felt this stage was useless.
w.a.n.g Wei entered his s.p.a.ce ring to test out something. His body suddenly grew to a size of over 300 meters.
His ancestor created the Law Body Stage by taking inspiration from the 9th cultivation stage of the Pre-Null Era; it even has the same name. In this stage, cultivators can make their bodies humongous, thus drastically increasing their strength, speed, and defense.
The reason w.a.n.g Wei found this thing useless is one; it was not as much a boost to him as he expected because of how strong his fleshly body was. Secondly, this technique becomes useless in the Supreme Realm because of the Dharma Body.
Even in the Saint Realm, people no longer use it since the Domain was stronger and more versatile.
w.a.n.g Wei theorized in the Ancient Emperor Era, the method of fighting was different than the current time. The ancient cultivators relied way more on the Law Body than modern ones.
w.a.n.g Wei canceled the technique and returned to his standard size. Then, he took out a copy of the ancient cultivation system that he had to read about the Law Body Realm; he was suddenly intrigued to know the difference.
"The Law Body is essentially the same as the Dharma Body."
w.a.n.g Wei thought the ancient cultivators could not walk the path of True Power Dao since they use laws for their fleshly bodies; he was wrong. They used Laws to reconstruct their bodies to be similar to Primordial G.o.ds, while laws were used as a form of attack.
So, for ancient cultivators, the enormous body is their real body while the human-size one is them shrinking their bodies.
The reason w.a.n.g Wei said Law Bodies and Dharma Bodies were the same is in the Quasi-Emperor Realm after a cultivator fused their Dharma Body with their real body, the size of the Dharma Body they cultivated in the Supreme Realm is now their reals bodies as well.
In other word, the human-shape w.a.n.g Wei"s grandfather always took is not his real body, but a shrink version he used to interact with ordinary people.
"I feel I will be huge," muttered w.a.n.g Wei. He knew his Dharma Body would be tall and powerful. If you add the other 8 Dharma Bodies of his incarnations and the FiendG.o.d bloodline he will cultivate after proving the Dao, he will undoubtedly be huge.
w.a.n.g Wei did not like the concept of fighting with a huge body. Instead, he preferred when his small frame displayed terrifying power that seemed abnormal compared to his size.
Nevertheless, it was inevitable.
"Hmm," he uttered while looking in one direction. "Is it already time?"
He disappeared before appearing floating above the sect"s sky. Looking in the distance, he saw a golden light that pierced the heavens.
"What"s this? A secret realm opening?" asked Li Jun, who had just arrived.
"It seems quite arrogant, announcing its existence in the entire world like this," commented Yan Liling. "But, does it belong to someone? Some Emperor, perhaps?"
"It belongs to Gu Xuan," said Li Jun.
"How do you know?" she asked.
"This thing is not even trying to hide."
Yan Liling frowned before using her hand to calculate the secret of the heavens.
"You"re right; it"s not even trying to hide its existence."
"The Deceiving Heaven Longevity Art," said Li Jun as he looked in the distance. "According to rumors, it is a Dao scripture that can allow a Quasi- Emperor to have a lifespan of over 90 millions years. Who would not want it?"
"That"s not the real value of this scripture," said w.a.n.g Wei.
"Oh, is there some kind of secret?"
"You know that Gu Xuan once exchanged this technique to an Emperor for a Dao Source Seed."
"Yes, that"s common knowledge."
New novel chapters are published on Freeᴡebn(ᴏ)vel.cᴏm.
"What most people don"t know is after becoming a Dao Ancestor, he modified his technique into an Insurgent one."
"Seriously? How is that possible?"
Yan Liling was also surprised. As a new elder, she now has access to some secrets of the world and knows the importance of an Insurgent Cultivation Technique–especially one not created by an Emperor.
"The Dao of Deception," replied w.a.n.g Wei. "He created a way to deceive the Grand Dao Source he was a being who controls the Source instead of borrowing its power, thus granting him the power of a Great Emperor."
"This…" Li Jun was at a loss for words. "There should be some restraint, right?"
"Most likely, there is a time limit he can use said power, but it does not change the fact this technique is still an Insurgent one. So, no matter what, we must get our hands on it."
Dao Ancestors" cultivation is also based on the percentage of understanding of the Grand Dao Source. So, if this technique had a direct conversion rate based on the Dao Ancestor"s realm, it would be terrifying.
For example, a Dao Ancestor who has a 20% of Grand Dao Source comprehension could use the Deceiving Heaven Longevity Art to acquire the power of a Pseudo-Eternal Emperor.
And if their comprehension is higher than 20%, their strength would be even more intense.
Now, w.a.n.g Wei knew it was unlikely for the conversation rate to be so powerful. But even if it was not, he could try to modify this technique in the future after he proved the Dao.
