Chapter 395 Crystal of Laws! Crystal of Wood Attribute Laws!
"Law Crystals?" Jiang Yun's brow furrowed slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
In the education he had received in C City, he had never heard of such a thing.
Whether it was the academy's curriculum or the records in the library, the concept of Law Crystals had never been mentioned.
Spirit Crystals were the highest-level resource for the cultivation of Beast Tamers and their beasts; this was Common knowledge he had learned since childhood.
But now, Fox Immortal was telling him that above Spirit Crystals, there were Law Crystals.
Jiang Yun sighed inwardly.
The backwardness of C City was not only reflected in the strength of its Beast Tamers and the foundations of its major powers, but even the education of Beast Tamers had a huge gap compared to the provincial capital.
In C City, Spirit Crystals were the top-tier cultivation resource, and ordinary people wouldn't even get to see them.
But in the provincial capital, in the eyes of those truly top-tier powers and experts, Spirit Crystals were probably just the most basic consumables.
As for higher-level things like Law Crystals, they wouldn't even be mentioned in C City's education system.
Because even if they were mentioned, the Beast Tamers in C City wouldn't be able to access them; instead, it would only make them aim too high.
"What are Law Crystals?"
Jiang Yun asked humbly.
Fox Immortal did not answer directly, but slowly raised her right hand, spreading her five fingers with her palm facing up.
"Law Crystals, as the name suggests, are crystals condensed from the Laws of heaven and earth."
Her voice was calm and indifferent, as if she were talking about something perfectly ordinary.
"Various attributes and types of Law powers exist between heaven and earth: Five Elements Laws, Space-Time Laws, Life-Death Laws, Destruction Laws... every kind of Law, under specific conditions, has the potential to condense into a crystal."
"Law Crystals contain the Law power of that attribute, and their energy level is far beyond what Spirit Crystals can compare to."
She paused, a light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"The energy contained in a single Law Crystal is equivalent to hundreds of millions of Spirit Crystals."
Hundreds of millions of Spirit Crystals!
Jiang Yun's pupils suddenly constricted.
All his current assets added together only amounted to nearly four hundred million Spirit Crystals.
And a single Law Crystal was worth hundreds of millions of Spirit Crystals?
This meant that one Law Crystal was equivalent to the sum of his entire net worth, or even more!
"Of course..."
Fox Immortal continued.
"The rarity of Law Crystals is also far beyond that of Spirit Crystals. Spirit Crystals can be mined from Spiritual Veins, condensed through beasts, or obtained through various means. But Law Crystals can only form in places where Law power is extremely dense, after accumulating over long periods of time."
"Furthermore, the formation conditions for every Law Crystal are different. A fire attribute Law Crystal needs to be deep within volcanic lava for thousands of years before it might condense; a water attribute Law Crystal needs to be in the abyss of the deep sea, enduring ten thousand tons of water pressure; space attribute Law Crystals are even more elusive, requiring a space crack to stabilize before they can slowly form..."
"Therefore, Law Crystals are extremely rare and hard to come by. Even for a Sun-Level expert, obtaining a single Law Crystal requires paying a huge price."
Hearing this, Jiang Yun was secretly shocked.
He nodded, indicating his understanding.
Then, he asked curiously, "Xian'er, do you have any Law Crystals?"
Fox Immortal smiled slightly, her smile carrying a faint hint of pride.
"Of course."
"As a member of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox Royalty, my resources are naturally not lacking. Although Law Crystals are rare, I do have some in stock."
As she spoke, a soft green light suddenly lit up in the palm of her right hand.
The green light was initially just a dot of light, then it rapidly expanded, turning into a fist-sized ball of emerald green light floating above her palm.
Within the light, a crystal slowly emerged.
The crystal's shape was irregular, roughly the size of an adult's thumb, and its entire body was a deep emerald green, like fresh leaves sprouting in spring, or the condensed essence of an ancient tree in the deep mountains.
The surface of the crystal was not smooth but covered with fine patterns.
Those patterns were like the veins of a plant or the meridians of the earth, crisscrossing to form a profound design.
What was even more shocking was that the moment this crystal appeared, the air in the entire treasury seemed to become vibrant.
Jiang Yun clearly felt an extremely dense aura of life radiating from the crystal, like a spring breeze on the face or a sweet rain nourishing things.
Everywhere that life aura passed.
He even felt some of the hidden injuries in his body itching slightly, as if they were being repaired.
At the same time, the withered branches, fallen leaves, and discarded Materials left behind in the treasury after being looted actually regained a hint of vitality under the shroud of this life aura.
A few yellowed leaves even turned slightly green, as if they were about to come back to life.
"This..."
Jiang Yun's eyes widened, his face full of shock.
This was a Law Crystal?
This was a supreme treasure containing the Laws of heaven and earth?
Just the aura it radiated could make withered wood bloom and heal hidden injuries?
If all the power within it were released, what kind of scene would that be?
"What terrifying energy..."
Jiang Yun murmured to himself.
"I feel that the energy contained within this single Law Crystal surpasses hundreds of millions of Spirit Crystals!"
It wasn't an exaggeration, but a genuine feeling.
Although Spirit Crystals also contained pure spiritual power, that kind of power was dead; it needed to be actively absorbed and refined by a beast or Beast Tamer to be converted into their own power.
But the power within a Law Crystal was alive...
It inherently contained the will of the Laws of heaven and earth and radiated the aura of Laws, capable of influencing the surrounding environment and even changing the essence of matter.
This was the difference between Spirit Crystals and Law Crystals.
One was merely a carrier of energy, while the other was an Incarnation of the Laws.
"This is a Wood Attribute Law Crystal."
Fox Immortal withdrew her palm, the emerald green light dissipated, and that dense aura of life vanished along with it.
She put away the Law Crystal and said calmly, "In my hands, I have fewer than ten such Law Crystals. But for the current me, it's enough for the time being."
She paused and added, "My consumption rate is very fast. At my current stage, every battle and every session of cultivation consumes Law power. To me, Spirit Crystals are already like useless stones."
Jiang Yun nodded, lost in thought.
Then, Fox Immortal changed the subject.
"However, these Law Crystals are also of little use to your beasts for now."
"Why?"
Jiang Yun asked.
"Because they have not yet touched the Domain of Laws."
Fox Immortal explained.
"Law Crystals contain the Origin power of the Laws of heaven and earth, which requires the beast to have a certain degree of understanding and affinity for the Laws to absorb and refine them. Your Little Fire, Little Skylark, and Nether Abyss are currently still in the stage of simply accumulating spiritual power; they haven't even touched the threshold of Laws. Forcing them to use Law Crystals will not only fail to be absorbed but will instead cause them to be backlashed by the Law power."
Jiang Yun suddenly understood.
So that was it.
Although Law Crystals were good, they were not something he could use right now.
It was like a child who had just learned to walk; if you gave him a divine weapon, he not only wouldn't be able to lift it but would instead be hurt by it.
"Understood."
Jiang Yun nodded.
"Then I'll just honestly accumulate Spirit Crystals for now."
His Divine Sense swept over the stock in his Storage Ring, and he calculated silently in his heart.
Now that he had nearly four hundred million Spirit Crystals, even if they weren't all attributes that Little Fire and Little Skylark could use, it was enough.
Water and Fire Attribute Spirit Crystals for Little Fire, wind attribute and thunder-attribute Spirit Crystals for Little Skylark, and dark Attribute Spirit Crystals for Nether Abyss.
The remaining Spirit Crystals of other attributes could be sold for money or used to Cultivate the power of Longxiang Pavilion.
Or he could even give them away.
He estimated that these Spirit Crystals would be completely sufficient to support Little Fire and Little Skylark's cultivation up to Diamond Rank.
As for Nether Abyss, it was already at the Peak of Purple Crystal Tier 5; reaching Diamond Rank was only a matter of time.
With the Heaven And Earth Treasures and Spirit Pills in Jiang Yun's hands, feeding them to it casually would make it no difficult task for Nether Abyss to Breakthrough to Diamond Rank.
After all, what Jiang Yun lacked least right now were resources and Heaven And Earth Treasures.
The meteor-level and Diamond Rank treasures harvested from the Secret Realm, the various resources looted from the treasuries of the Blood Thorn Mercenary Group and the Black Wind Stronghold, plus the Medicine God Legacy he had inherited.
His Alchemy attainment had already reached the Grand Tutor Level; as long as he had the Materials, what kind of Medicinal Pill could he not refine?
Raising his Beast Tamer Realm was no longer a problem for him.
It was merely a matter of time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun felt greatly reassured.
He took a turn around the treasury, and after confirming nothing was missed, he collected all the useful items into his Storage Ring.
Spirit Crystals, Heaven And Earth Treasures, Medicinal Pills, runes, treasures... he left nothing behind that could be taken.
Looking at the now empty treasury, Jiang Yun pondered for a moment and decided to leave behind some items of average quality and low value.
“I should still leave something for Blood Lady and Iron Mountain Liu.”
Jiang Yun thought to himself.
“Although they wouldn't dare to betray me, if I want them to work for me with sincerity, threats alone are not enough. I still need to give them the sweetness they deserve.”
The principle of giving a slap followed by a sweet date was universal, no matter which world it was.
If one only resorted to constant exploitation and threats, even if the other party didn't dare to betray, they wouldn't put in their full effort.
But if they were allowed to taste some sweetness and knew that following him would lead to a good life, then they would truly risk their lives for him.
Jiang Yun saw this point very clearly.
After handling the matters of the treasury, Jiang Yun took a deep breath and with a thought, summoned Little Skylark.
A flash of light appeared in the Void Realm, and Little Skylark's figure appeared before Jiang Yun.
Its current self was incomparable to when it first came out of C City.
Its feathers were more lustrous, its wings more powerful, and its entire body was entwined with Wind-Thunder power, radiating the formidable aura of Gold Rank Seventh Order.
“Chirp chirp!”
As soon as Little Skylark came out, it excitedly lunged toward Jiang Yun, rubbing its head against his cheek.
Having stayed in the Beast Taming Space for so long, it had long been bored out of its mind.
Jiang Yun smiled and stroked its head, then took out the wings of the firmament from his Storage Ring.
As soon as the silver-white treasure appeared, the entire treasury was illuminated as bright as day.
Seven azure wind attribute gems emitted a soft glow, and a faint metallic luster flowed across the surface of the streamlined armor; the whole thing was as light as a feather, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.
However, that radiant Sun-Level pressure caused Little Skylark to freeze instantly.
“Chirp?”
Little Skylark tilted its head, looking at the treasure with eyes full of curiosity and awe.
It could feel that this item was extraordinary.
“This is for you.”
Jiang Yun said with a smile, “wings of the firmament, a radiant Sun-Level treasure, exclusive to avian tamed beasts. Once you wear it, your defense, speed, and strength will all be significantly enhanced.”
Upon hearing this, Little Skylark's eyes instantly lit up.
A radiant Sun-Level treasure!
Although it didn't know the specific concept of radiant Sun-Level, it could feel the powerful energy contained within that treasure.
It was a power that resonated from the depths of its Soul, as if this treasure was naturally forged for it.
“Don't be in a hurry.”
Jiang Yun said with a smile, “This treasure is currently in an ownerless state. You can directly perform a Divine Sense link; once it recognizes you as its master, it will be bound to your Soul and can be manifested or hidden at any time.”
Little Skylark nodded excitedly, impatiently lunging toward the treasure.
The moment its body touched the wings of the firmament, the silver-white treasure suddenly erupted with a dazzling light.
The light was not piercing, but soft and warm, like the spring sunshine.
The light enveloped Little Skylark's entire body and then slowly seeped into its form.
Little Skylark closed its eyes, allowing that power to surge into its body.
It could feel a warm and powerful energy establishing a connection with its Soul.
The feeling was very strange, like another version of itself was awakening within its body, sharing all perceptions and memories with it.
The Divine Sense link was underway.
Jiang Yun stood to the side, watching quietly.
He could feel that Little Skylark's aura was undergoing a change.
It wasn't an increase in Realm, but a deeper change, like a sublimation of the Soul.
A few minutes later, the light gradually dissipated.
Little Skylark opened its eyes; those golden pupils were brighter and more spirited than before.
It flapped its wings excitedly, letting out a cheerful cry.
“Chirp chirp chirp!”
It told Jiang Yun that it had completed the Divine Sense link with the wings of the firmament, and now it could summon the treasure to manifest at any time.
“Then manifest it for me to see.”
Jiang Yun laughed.
Little Skylark nodded, closed its eyes, and focused its mind.
In the next second, the silver-white light lit up again.
This time, the light did not envelop it from the outside but radiated outward from within Little Skylark's body.
Silver-white points of light seeped out from the gaps in Little Skylark's feathers, then condensed, combined, and took shape on its body surface...
First was the chest armor; the silver-white metal plates covered Little Skylark's entire chest, fitting perfectly as if they had grown there.
The azure gems on the surface of the armor emitted a soft light, complementing the lightning power on its body.
Then came the back armor, also silver-white, covering the entire back area from the neck to the tail; the streamlined design reduced air resistance to the minimum.
Next was the armor at the base of the wings.
This was the most critical part: it had to protect the weak point at the base of the wings without hindering their flapping.
The design of the wings of the firmament perfectly solved this problem; the armor only covered the key parts at the base of the wings, while the rest was connected with light chainmail, ensuring protection without affecting flexibility.
Finally, there was the tail armor; three silver-white feather-shaped armor plates covered Little Skylark's tail feathers, being both aesthetic and practical.
When the last piece of armor took shape, the entire wings of the firmament was completely manifested.
At this moment, Little Skylark had completely changed its appearance.
The silver-white armor shimmered with a metallic luster under the light of the crystals, and seven azure gems were interspersed throughout like stars in the night sky.
The streamlined design of the armor made it look more slender, more elegant, and at the same time, more majestic.
Most amazingly, when Little Skylark flapped its wings, the gems on the armor would light up with a blue glow, leaving trails of blue light in the air, beautiful as a dream.
“So beautiful.”
Jiang Yun praised sincerely.
Little Skylark held its head high with pride, letting out a cheerful cry.
It could feel that after putting on the wings of the firmament, its body was much lighter, and it could barely feel any resistance when flapping its wings.
Moreover, it could also feel a powerful energy flowing through the armor, ready to protect it at any time.
“Try out your speed.”
Jiang Yun said.
Little Skylark nodded and returned to the Beast Taming Space.
Jiang Yun's Divine Sense also entered.
Then, Little Skylark flapped its wings.
“Whoosh!!!”
A silver-white stream of light flashed through the Beast Taming Space, so fast that Jiang Yun's eyes couldn't keep up.
In just an instant, Little Skylark flew from one end of the two mountains in the Beast Taming Space to the other, even making a turn in the middle.
“So fast!”
Jiang Yun exclaimed.
He had Little Skylark return and then asked, “How much do you feel your speed has increased?”
Little Skylark gestured excitedly.
Five times, at least five times!
Jiang Yun nodded with satisfaction.
The attribute bonuses of the wings of the firmament were indeed not exaggerated.
The speed increasing to five times its original was a solid fact.
Moreover, this was its performance in a confined space like the treasury. If it were in the open sky, Little Skylark's speed would be even faster!
“Alright, put it away.”
Jiang Yun said, “You can slowly adapt to it later.”
Little Skylark nodded, and with a thought, the silver-white armor on its body instantly turned into points of light and dissipated, re-merging into its body.
From the outside, one couldn't tell at all that it was wearing any treasure.
This was the benefit of the Divine Sense link.
Manifesting or hiding at any time was extremely convenient.
Jiang Yun withdrew his Divine Sense from the Beast Taming Space with satisfaction.
Fox Immortal followed behind him, her white clothes fluttering and her nine tails swaying.
The two of them, one after the other, walked out of the treasury.
Outside the cave, Blood Lady, Iron Mountain Liu, and that inner sect deacon of the Black Wind Stronghold were waiting respectfully.
