50 Million Years of Law Insights, Ninth Level of the Mid-Tier Core Ninth-Rank Laws
Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The bell of Qingfeng Temple still rings daily, its sound distant and serene.
The Ling Dynasty Capital at the foot of the mountain has seen many changes, and the faces in the court have come and gone, but Qingfeng Temple has always remained the same Qingfeng Temple, unchanged for 100,000 years.
And Chen Du remained the same Chen Du, with the appearance of a young man, a slender figure, and a quiet nature.
He spent his days holed up in that small house in the backyard, and apart from a few of Zhao Yuanshan's fellow disciples occasionally coming to visit, almost no one noticed his presence.
But he never stopped during those twenty years.
Every year, multiple calamities arrive as expected.
Sometimes it's an assassin sneaking in at night, sometimes it's an informant disguised as a hunter on the mountain path, sometimes it's a wandering Daoist priest staying at a temple, and sometimes it's a "distant relative" suddenly appearing in the town at the foot of the mountain.
Each time, the Calamity Warning was triggered in advance, and each time, he avoided it.
If he can't avoid it, he retaliates with swift and decisive action, never dragging things out.
Over the course of twenty years, the assassins he killed were all stronger than the last.
But after each counterattack, he completely concealed his presence, leaving no trace whatsoever.
Deep within his sea of consciousness, the Calamity Qi accumulated for a full four hundred thousand years.
He channeled all this Calamity Qi into the Heaven's Way's Gift, in exchange for fifty million years of enlightenment each on the Tribulation-Transcending Law and the Tribulation Armor Law... fifty million years.
This number was so large that even he himself felt it was somewhat unreal.
Those insights flooded into his mind like a vast ocean, repeatedly washing over, solidifying, and deducing the threads of the two laws.
He closed his eyes and deduced, using Divine Revelation Reading to dissect his insights from fifty million years of history.
[Using the Tribulation-Transcending Law as a guide, you unfold your insights accumulated over fifty million years. The path trodden by that unknown predecessor appears one by one in your sea of consciousness. You compare and verify them with your existing domains, Tribulation-Transcending Law ascends from the fifth level to the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth levels.]
[You then deduced the Tribulation Armor Law. The Tribulation Armor Law uses Calamity Qi as its material and your own body as its furnace, allowing it to condense into an invisible Tribulation Armor on the body's surface. Fifty million years of insights flooded your sea of consciousness, and you dissected it using the same method. The Tribulation Armor Law ascended from the fifth level, to the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth levels.]
[With both laws simultaneously reaching the Ninth-Level Domain, you sensed a mutual resonance within your sea of consciousness, one actively welcoming the tribulation, the other passively absorbing it, like yin and yang, mutually complementary.]
[Meanwhile, the Threefold Domain the Bury Heaven, Extinguish Earth, the Threefold Domain of the Divine Prison Law, the ninth level of Wrath of Heaven, and the ninth level of Wrath Devouring also resonated with these two laws. The six laws slowly rotated in your sea of consciousness, forming an unprecedentedly complete system.]
Chen Du slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.
Ninefold Tribulation-Transcending and Ninefold Tribulation Armor, both laws were simultaneously perfected.
In addition, there are the third level of Bury Heaven, Extinguish Earth, the third level of Divine Prison Law, the ninth level of Wrath of Heaven, and the ninth level of Wrath Devouring.
His system of laws had become so comprehensive that even he himself could hardly estimate its extent.
As for the Heavenly Tribulation Nine Swords, he has already deduced the sixth sword based on the Ninefold Tribulation-Transcending and Ninefold Tribulation Armor.
The power of the sixth sword is enough to threaten even those at the Peak Stage of the Eleventh Realm.
Next, it's time to try and break through.
He had been preparing in this small house at Qingfeng Temple for a very long time; he had been waiting for this moment ever since he obtained the Path to Ascension.
Now, the six laws of the path slowly rotated in his sea of consciousness, resonating with and stimulating each other.
He had already thoroughly memorized the scroll of "Star Domain Master Realm Advancement Method" that Heaven's Way's Gift.
He stood up, pushed open the door, walked into the courtyard, and shot straight into the sky.
His figure transformed into a faint beam of light, passing through the layers of clouds above Qingfeng Temple, rising ever higher.
The sound of the wind receded into a thin line beside my ears, a rift was torn in the clouds, and the sky changed from azure to deep blue, and then from deep blue to pitch black.
He flew through the atmosphere and the gale layer, and only stopped when he was thousands of feet above Qingfeng Temple.
Beneath my feet stretch endless mountains and a sea of clouds, above me lies an boundless starry sky.
He floated in the void, his hair flying in the air.
He closed his eyes and focused all his energy on activating the "Star Domain Master Realm Advancement Method" within his sea of consciousness.
To advance to the Twelfth Realm, one needs to create a "Self Planet" deep within their Divine Sense.
The so-called Self Planet is a Self Planet formed by highly condensing the cultivator's inner energy, soul power, and understanding of laws, and is no less than a star.
This planet contains everything about the cultivator—his laws, his insights, his will, and his path.
Once successfully condensed, the cultivator no longer relies on the power of heaven and earth, but becomes a star themselves, a star capable of traversing the void and dominating the star field.
He first activated the Tribulation-Transcending Law and the Tribulation Armor Law simultaneously. The two laws slowly rotated in his sea of consciousness, one actively welcoming the tribulation and the other passively devouring it, like the two poles of yin and yang.
Then he integrated the four laws— Bury Heaven, Extinguish Earth, Divine Prison Law, Wrath of Heaven, and Wrath Devouring— one by one.
The six laws of the Dao converged, collided, and merged in his sea of consciousness, like a pile of loose sand being gathered together by an invisible hand.
He felt his entire sea of consciousness trembling; the tremor wasn't painful, but rather an extreme pressure.
The six laws of the universe surged within him, each one trying to break free from his control.
But he gritted his teeth and persevered, using the Ninefold Tribulation-Transcending as his framework and the Ninefold Tribulation Armor as his protective shell, firmly locking the six laws of the six realms in the center of his sea of consciousness.
Under pressure, the six laws began to compress, condense, and merge.
On the first day, he sat in the void, and in the center of his sea of consciousness, a dark golden light slowly took shape.
The point of light was extremely small, yet the energy it contained caused the entire sea of consciousness to tremble.
He felt his understanding of the laws being rapidly depleted, as if he were being sucked into that ball of light.
The next day, the point of light began to rotate. It spun faster and faster, and shrank smaller and smaller, but the energy within it became more and more concentrated and heavier.
He felt his connection with heaven and earth gradually fading. He no longer relied on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as before, and no longer needed to draw power from the outside world.
That point of light was his own world.
On the third day, the rotation of the light point reached its peak; it stopped absorbing the laws and began to release them.
Dark golden light burst forth from the light spot, illuminating the entire sea of consciousness.
In the light, a dark golden planet slowly took shape.
The planet is not large, but its surface is covered with dense patterns of calamity and Eternal Night, while its interior is churning with four forces: Calamity Qi, imprisonment, incineration, and annihilation.
My Self Star. It's complete.
At the very moment his Self Star took shape, he felt the Tribulation-Transcending Law and the Tribulation Armor Law undergo a transformation simultaneously.
The Tribulation-Transcending Law no longer involves passively enduring tribulations, but actively transforming them into the energy of Self Star.
The Tribulation Armor Law no longer merely forms a shield, but becomes the outer shell of its Self Star, enveloping the entire planet within it.
The two laws, originally mere domain power, transformed into the core and outer shell of their Self Star, completely merging into the planet.
The other four laws also transformed into parts of their Self Stars, each occupying a region and echoing each other.
He slowly opened his eyes; the starry sky was still there, and the earth beneath his feet was still there.
But he knew that something had completely changed.
He raised his hand, and in his palm, a miniature, dark golden planet silently rotated.
That was his Self Star, the condensation of all his cultivation and insights.
He slowly exhaled, retracting his Self Star back into the depths of his consciousness.
The Twelfth Realm the Star Domain Master Realm has been achieved.
