Laws!

Xing Yao paused slightly. "Become one? What does that mean?"

"It means I'm no longer bound by that damned restriction of only awakening two abilities per tier," Clone No. 1 said, dropping a bombshell.

Xing Yao jolted in shock. "The restriction is gone?!"

"Yes." Clone No. 1 nodded. "Now, how many abilities I have depends entirely on how deeply I comprehend the Law of Space. I've only reached an initial understanding, but I can already use quite a few basic spatial skills-Teleportation, Spatial Blade, Spatial Wormhole. I can use all of those freely."

Xing Yao's heart trembled at those words, and he hurriedly pressed, "What about stronger ones? I remember the Law of Space having plenty of high-level abilities."

"I can't unlock powerful skills like Spatial Distortion, Spatial Displacement, and Spatial Traversal yet," Clone No. 1 answered honestly. "I expect they'll gradually become available once my comprehension of the law becomes deeper and more thorough."

Xing Yao was still digesting this string of astonishing revelations when Clone No. 1 added something else that left him utterly stunned.

"Oh, there's one more thing."

"From now on... you can no longer use resentment points to raise my level."

"Why?!" Xing Yao immediately blurted out, his voice filled with confusion and shock. "Haven't resentment points always been able to strengthen clones? Why have they suddenly stopped working?"

Clone No. 1 calmly explained:

"Because the way I advance has changed completely. Now, I don't need resentment points to level up. I just need to keep comprehending the Law of Space. The deeper my comprehension of the law, the more my level will naturally rise, and my strength will grow along with it."

Xing Yao instinctively turned toward Clone No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4, who were still cultivating with their eyes closed nearby. His brow furrowed slightly as a vague guess arose in his mind.

As though seeing through his thoughts, Clone No. 1 spoke again, fully confirming his suspicion:

"No need to look. Those three should be the same as me. Once they successfully break through to the second tier and comprehend their own laws, they'll likewise break free of the restriction of resentment points and embark on the path of attaining the Dao through laws."

As those words fell, Xing Yao stood rooted to the spot, utterly dumbfounded.

The familiar system of advancement and rules governing abilities were completely overturned at that moment.

What had been a reliance on resentment points to force level increases had become an entirely new path of truly comprehending laws and merging with the world's origin.

He stared blankly at Clone No. 1 before him, then looked out at the vast mental world. Towering waves surged through his heart, refusing to settle for a long time.

He had never imagined that the clones' breakthrough to the second tier would bring such earth-shattering changes.

Xing Yao stood frozen. His mind buzzed, and realization suddenly struck him, his eyes instantly lighting up with startling brilliance.

"Wait... you're saying that as long as they comprehend laws, even the weakest talent can give rise to a law of its own?"

Clone No. 1 nodded. "Exactly. Talent is only the starting point. Laws are the foundation."

Xing Yao drew a deep breath, his entire body trembling slightly with excitement as he murmured to himself:

"I used to worry constantly about those talents among my clones that were the most ordinary, the most inconspicuous, even considered the weakest by others... Who would've thought that once they break through to the first tier, then the second, and begin comprehending laws, even the weakest talent can transform into the power of laws!"

The more he thought about it, the more startled and shaken he became:

"Laws... there's no absolute distinction between strong and weak at all!

"I used to think talent set the upper limit in stone. Only now do I understand-laws won't be hemmed in by talent, much less defined as strong or weak!

"Even the most inconspicuous ability can become a terrifying power once it's linked to a law!"

Xing Yao abruptly raised his head to look at Clone No. 1, his voice carrying a faint tremor:

"So that means... all my clones, no matter how ordinary or weak their talents are, can embark on a path to invincibility as long as they comprehend laws?"

Clone No. 1 smiled faintly:

"You finally understand.

"Talent is only the key. Laws are the entire world."

Xing Yao stood there, his heart pounding wildly.

All his earlier worries and misgivings vanished like smoke and clouds at that moment.

The weakest talent?

No such thing.

As long as they comprehended laws-

Even the weakest talent could become a supreme Great Dao!

Xing Yao was still immersed in the shock brought by laws when a flash of lightning suddenly streaked through his mind. He abruptly thought of two figures he had been overlooking all along. His eyes instantly went round, and even his breathing quickened.

"Wait! No. 5 and No. 6!"

He clapped his hands sharply, his voice filled with irrepressible excitement, his whole body trembling slightly:

"How could I have forgotten those two! Clone No. 5's talent is an extremely powerful physique, and Clone No. 6's talent is pure strength amplification! I always thought those two talents looked unremarkable, nowhere near as flashy as elements or space, and could even be considered ordinary and on the weaker side..."

At this point, astonishing brilliance suddenly burst from Xing Yao's eyes. The more he thought, the more excited he became, his expression shifting from surprise to wild joy, then to irrepressible exhilaration:

"But now it's different! According to you, as long as they comprehend laws, even the most ordinary talent can transform and ascend! Then once No. 5 comprehends the Law of the Physical Body and the origin of the physique, won't he be able to achieve physical sainthood step by step, meet every attack head-on with his flesh, become impervious to all arts, and remain indestructible and eternal like vajra?!"

His voice grew louder as he spoke, and he paced back and forth in excitement, his gaze blazing:

"And No. 6! With his strength amplification talent, once he completely masters the Law of Strength and the ultimate Great Dao of Strength, he'll absolutely shatter ten thousand arts with a single punch, wielding enough strength to split heaven and earth, just like the legendary Pangu! With one punch, even heaven and earth will tremble! Powerful enemies? Defenses? Before the absolute Law of Strength, none of them will withstand a single blow!"

Watching Xing Yao's shining eyes and feverishly excited expression, Clone No. 1 needed only a moment's thought to follow his reasoning. He instantly thought of Clones No. 5 and No. 6 as well, and clear surprise and anticipation surfaced on his previously calm face.

"You mean... those two clones who focus on the physical body and strength?"

Clone No. 1 spoke, his voice carrying a little more disbelief. "If they can break through to the second tier like me and completely merge with their corresponding laws... then their physiques and strength will indeed reach a level ordinary people can't imagine."

"More than just unimaginable!" Xing Yao immediately interrupted, so excited that his voice grew a little unsteady. "Physical sainthood, strength that splits heaven and earth-how are those ordinary talents anymore? They're the most supreme, most domineering Great Daos! I used to worry their talents weren't outstanding enough and that they wouldn't keep up with the others. Looking at it now, I couldn't have been more wrong!"

Xing Yao abruptly turned toward the other clones, who were still cultivating quietly in the distance. His gaze seemed to pierce the void and land directly on No. 5 and No. 6, his heart filled with irrepressible anticipation.

"Once they break through to the second tier too and comprehend their own laws..."

"One will attain physical sainthood, impervious to all arts!"

"One will shatter the cosmos with strength and split heaven and earth!"

"Then my team of clones won't just have me controlling space, but also an invincible physical body, ultimate strength, and everyone else's law abilities..."

Xing Yao drew a deep breath, feeling a rush of heat shoot from his chest straight to the crown of his head. This beautiful future left his entire body burning with excitement.

Watching Xing Yao's ecstatic expression, Clone No. 1 also nodded gently, the flames of anticipation kindling in his eyes as well.

He could already foresee how terrifying and breathtaking the sight would be when every clone had comprehended a law.
