Chen Lin's heart stirred at those words.
After taking the crystal, he asked, "Elder Brother, do you mean that besides countering divine beings, the God-Slaying Seal also works against practitioners of other cultivation systems?"
"It doesn't counter divine beings specifically."
Bai Yujing waved a hand.
"It simply has to be of an extremely high grade and capable of harnessing a special power that can break through the energy barriers of higher-order beings. It just happens to inflict greater damage on divine beings."
"There's still something I don't understand."
Chen Lin immediately pressed further.
"You must have noticed, Elder Brother, that I now count as a kind of divine being myself. Why can I use the Soul-Slaying Seal, then, without feeling any suppressive effect when I do?"
"It should be because you cultivate all Seven Major Laws."
Bai Yujing explained.
"The Exquisite Country Emperor was no ordinary man. Though he never ascended to Outer Heaven, he was still a supreme powerhouse. His actual strength might not have been inferior to those Heavenly Monarchs."
"The cultivation technique he practiced must have had something unique about it."
"Combining the Seven Major Laws may well transcend the level of divine beings and produce an even more mysterious energy. That would explain why your Heart Origin Essence can make the mark on the God-Slaying Staff appear."
He pondered briefly.
Bai Yujing continued, "You should devote more effort to fusing the laws. If you can unite all Seven Major Laws, you'll have the strength to contend for a Heavenly Monarch seat."
Hearing this,
Chen Lin's eyes flickered.
His elder brother really did know about Outer Heaven. He even suspected that Bai Yujing had come down from there.
Night-Forgotten Owl, too-neither of them was a native cultivator.
"Elder Brother, do you know anything about the Ascension Trial?"
