Law Weapons! Special Tutoring!

Countless motes of spiritual light gathered, each one a flashing Dao Law Rune. Bit by bit, they enveloped the two of them, gradually producing a strange transformation.

Around Taishu Yun, hundreds of millions of Dao Law Runes gradually fused together. Transparent ribbons replaced the original runes, crystal-clear ribbons winding slowly around him before condensing into a suit of armor. The armor settled over his body, somewhat illusory, yet carrying a dense aura of Great Dao laws, no different from the Heart of Law.

This suit of armor contained the aura of several Great Daos, all of them paths Taishu Yun had comprehended. They gathered together and fused into this armor.

Two more crystal-transparent ribbons fell into his hands, entwined together, and slowly condensed into a small bell. It was identical to Taishu Yun's Star Cloud Bell, likewise carrying a measure of reality within its illusion, as though carved from crystal.

Around this small bell, everything froze. Even the flow of time ceased to exist, as though this stretch of space-time had been pinned in place.

That which spans above and below is called space; that which stretches from ancient times to the present is called time.

Space represented space, while time represented time. And among all vessels, the one that best embodied time and space was the bell.

The transparent, crystalline little bell in Taishu Yun's hand brimmed with the Great Dao aura of time and space. Time and space gathered together to form space-time. This was a Time-Space Bell.

"Such powerful space-time force."

Little Fire sensed the might within the bell. If it erupted, it would be enough to destroy it more than a dozen times over. Time and space had always been among the most mysterious and powerful Great Daos between heaven and earth. When time and space came together, they became even more terrifying. Legend said that once one comprehended space-time, one could transcend.

Little Fire did not know whether comprehending space-time would truly allow one to transcend afterward, but it knew very clearly that the Way of Space-Time was terrifying.

Little White stared blankly at the small bell, lost in thought. Then a trace of frustration flashed through its eyes. Why could it not learn his Dao?

Clang!

A bell toll rang out. Behind Taishu Yun, a majestic phantom appeared from nowhere. Its clothing and features could not be seen clearly; only its outline bore some resemblance to Taishu Yun.

The instant this phantom appeared, space trembled violently. An emperor's aura capable of intimidating the four seas and eight wastes spread outward. Buddhist chants drifted through the air, Dao Sound rang pleasantly, and golden light spilled from the void, condensing into lotus flowers one after another. They radiated an ethereal aura that allowed one to attain Enlightenment—golden lotuses bloomed in the void.

The phantom raised its hand. The transparent crystalline bell rose into the air and landed in its palm. At once, the phantom became slightly more solid. The force of space-time flowed, and a terrifying aura descended from the phantom. It continued to solidify, growing clearer and clearer, as though it were about to become a real existence.

Rumble!

Thunder exploded in the sky. The transparent crystalline bell suddenly sent out a ripple, calming everything. The phantom became illusory once more, and the thunder vanished at once.

The little bell returned to Taishu Yun's palm.

"Heavenly God's Descent—this is the phenomenon of Big Brother and Second Brother. It's too powerful."

Little Fire felt the terrifying aura from before, and its heart trembled. It was as though some dreadful existence had been about to descend.

As if drawn by an aura from the same source, a majestic phantom also descended behind Taishu Jing. Its features could not be distinguished, only part of its outline visible, while golden lotuses bloomed from the void one after another.

Then the same scene unfolded. Countless Dao Law Runes condensed into crystal-like ribbons and wound around Taishu Jing's body, evolving into a Daoist robe. The Yin Yang Life Death Diagram circulated upon it, giving rise to an image of the Five Elements blending together. Stars glittered with starlight, evolving into a star chart. All these wondrous manifestations fused together, ultimately turning into a sea of chaos.

It encompassed all things and nurtured all things. It was both the beginning and the end.

Twang!

A long arrow cry rang out. At last, two crystal ribbons twisted through the air and merged into one. Divine light blazed forth, and a crystalline longbow appeared before him. A mysterious power circulated within it, its hazy glow faintly shining. Within that light, it seemed possible to see one world after another.

Little White stared at the longbow. No matter what it did, it could not understand the Dao within. It seemed to contain past lives and present lives, the turning of the four seasons, and the mysteries of life. This was a special Great Dao, no weaker than the Way of Space-Time.

Taishu Jing had once told it that this was called reincarnation.

Once Dao Law Runes reached ten million in number, they could condense into Law Weapons. The Daoist robe and armor, the longbow and small bell, were all Law Weapons.

This was also what Little Fire and Little White had learned from their Bloodline Inheritance. No matter what Great Dao it was, as long as the condensed Dao Law Runes reached ten million, one could condense a Law Weapon and unleash the might of laws.

Little Fire and Little White had naturally achieved this long ago as well.

Dao Sound resounded through the heavens. The two phantoms intimidated the void, like heavenly gods descending into the mortal world. Their bearing was ethereal, standing above heaven and earth, while golden lotuses filled the void.

The Divine Body Phenomenon lasted for a while before slowly vanishing into nothingness. The golden lotuses also dispersed into heaven-and-earth spiritual energy and faded away.

The two figures sat cross-legged in the void. One wore a Daoist robe that fluttered in the wind, his temperament detached from the world. Beneath his easygoing exterior bloomed an edge that nothing could break. The other wore battle armor like a war god, his will to battle heaven and fight earth making the void tremble.

As though sensing something, the two opened their eyes at the same time, divine light flashing past in an instant.

Ding!

The Law Weapons dispersed, turning back into Dao Law Runes one by one, gradually fading into the void.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, you're finally awake," Little Fire said happily as it looked at them.

Taishu Yun and Taishu Jing drifted lightly down. Looking at Little Fire and Little White, they revealed smiles from the bottom of their hearts. "Little Fire, Little White."

"Second Brother, did you give Little White special tutoring? It said it has already surpassed me. Big Brother, you need to give me special tutoring too, or else I'll be the most useless one."

Little Fire spread its wings and gave them a gentle flap, immediately stirring up a fierce gale. Yet it did not affect them in the slightest; before the wind could even approach, it dispersed.

"Is that so? Little White told you that?" Taishu Jing smiled.

Seeing Taishu Jing's smile, Little Fire was momentarily dazed. In that instant, it felt as though it had seen their aunt, especially now that he had long black hair. He looked even more like her.

"Second Brother, you really look too much like Aunt, especially now."

"Haha, Jing, if Mother saw how you look now, she'd probably be very happy," Taishu Yun said, looking him over and unable to stop himself from laughing.

"Brother, Father would be very happy to see how you look now too," Taishu Jing said with a smile. He looked remarkably like their mother, but Taishu Yun looked just as remarkably like their father.

"Jing."

Little White raised its head to look at Taishu Jing, its eyes carrying a hint of happiness. Yet its tone did not fluctuate much, as though it were very calm, like it was speaking to an ordinary friend.

"Little White."

Taishu Jing turned to look at it and gently stroked its head, warmth in his eyes. For some reason, the first words Little White had spoken after learning to use Divine Sense had been his name. And no matter how he corrected it, Little White refused to call him Second Brother like Little Fire did.

"Keep teaching me," Little White said, blinking.

"Alright." Taishu Jing nodded with a smile. Though he did not understand why Little White was so persistent about his Dao, as long as Little White wanted to learn, he was more than willing to teach it.

Little White rose into the air. Its thirty-foot dragon body shrank at a visible speed until it was only five inches long. It landed on Taishu Jing's shoulder, but did not coil around his neck as it had before.

"Jing, it's time for us to go back," Taishu Yun said to him.

Taishu Jing nodded. This cultivation session had truly lasted a long time. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter formed a complete cycle of seasons; one cycle of seasons was a reincarnation, and one reincarnation was one year. They had already experienced four complete cycles of seasons since coming here—four years.

Over these four years, they had cultivated with focused hearts and had not returned to the clan. Only Little Fire and Little White had gone back during that time.

Now, they had both grown into graceful young men in the prime of youth, no longer the children who had looked utterly immature from head to toe.

During their time here, while cultivating, the two brothers had also completed a major transformation.

"Let's deal with this long hair first."

Taishu Jing gathered the long hair behind his head. Then a flash of white light passed by, and his black hair was severed piece by piece, drifting down with the wind.

"I'll do mine too." Taishu Yun also cut off his long hair, returning it to its original short style.

After returning to short hair, both Taishu Yun and Taishu Jing looked far more spirited, especially Taishu Jing. No one should mistake him for a girl at first glance now, even though his face bore a ninety-percent resemblance to his own mother's.

Now, he looked more like a gentle and beautiful young man.

"Jing, with how you look now, you'll probably charm countless girls," Taishu Yun teased with a laugh as he looked at him.

"Then I'll have to be careful. Little White, you must protect me properly, haha."

Taishu Jing also laughed and joked along. Looking like his parents was not a bad thing. He did not care much about his appearance, as long as he was not ugly. In this world, strength was ultimately supreme.
