"Divine jade possessed a spirit. It could draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and moon. As the Jade Law King, I could use the energy of the stars in the universe for my own purposes."
The jade light at Yu Xuan Ji's fingertips grew stronger and stronger, nearly as dazzling as the sun itself. He stared coldly at Lin Shen and said, "I had not wished to kill you. Refining your living body into a Myriad Laws Jade Puppet would have been the best choice, preserving the Spirit of Myriad Laws' effects to the greatest extent.
