228: Chapter 228 [Jade Earth Heavenly Palace], Mid-level 2

After carefully sensing the profound principles of the laws condensed by the Bronze Human Race, Wang An felt that they were more like branch fragments—branch fragments lacking a high-level status.

"They are following a path of piecing and synthesis; no wonder they need to deduce the most suitable method. A slight carelessness would lead to the collision, shattering, and collapse of the laws, resulting in death. It is completely different from the Golden Nature I obtained, which carries a trace of high-level status..."

"This is also why, during the previous Dao discussion, I only mentioned that it possesses the immortal nature of laws, without touching upon high-level status."

Because whenever high-level status is involved, it will attract the attention of high-level Great Ones. Even if Wang An himself possesses the talent for Incarnations, it is very likely that through some unknown means, an unknown influence could be exerted on his main body through this Incarnation.

Fortunately, his trace of Golden Nature now has a bit of Golden Core status, which can, to a certain extent, conceal his inner thoughts.

With the last one forging their Dao Foundation, 10 out of the 12 Core Formation cultivators succeeded, while two failed and transformed into spiritual land.

Besides that, the other nearly 50 Foundation Establishment cultivators still need some time to comprehend the principles of the laws before they can switch systems and charge towards becoming Dao Foundation Cultivators.

This is also a characteristic of the traditional transcendent system; one does not need much Daoist cultivation or understanding to be able to advance step by step according to the paths left by predecessors.

However, Wang An's Heavenly Talisman Dao Foundation Cultivator system requires sufficient Daoist cultivation and understanding to plan complete transcendent law runes; only in this way can the success rate be high.

Truly comparing the two, even the Daoist cultivation of a Foundation Establishment perfection cultivator can only compare to that of an Initial Stage Level 1 Dao Foundation.

This is also why, when Wang An was the founder and forged his Dao Foundation to achieve transcendence, he did not use many resources; all the influence he has now is solely due to his own profound understanding.

The Transcendent Dao Tree that governs the entire transcendent system will also automatically evolve corresponding environments according to the path of its creator, cultivating cultivators who are similar and tend towards the founder. This is [Dao-Tendency], and the entire system is learning from this founder.

After this Dao-forging event ended, the many Mid-Stage and Initial-Stage cultivators who were observing here scattered and left.

Time passed little by little, and [Lingyang Mountain] seemed to fall into tranquility once again.

However, as more and more mentors and students in the academy wanted to invite Wang An to certain places to give lectures, a feeling of an impending storm gradually shrouded the entire [Lingyang Mountain].

Wang An remained unmoved, quietly deducing the methods for refining storage magic artifacts.

On this day, Wang An's aura suddenly climbed, entering Mid-Stage Level 2.

Immediately, his Yin Spirit thought split into 72 strands. An earth-yellow light representing the imagery of "high platforms, buildings, barriers, and bearing" manifested above his head. Compared to the magnificent imagery of "heavenly palaces and cloud-piercing pavilions" that covered the entire dojo on his main body's side, here, suppressed by him with all his might, it could only be considered a firefly.

A Purple Mansion Divine Ability was refined out in succession, which was the [Earth on the Roof] Purple Mansion Divine Ability.

Within the Purple Mansion of this Incarnation, alongside the original green firmament, silver galaxy, and bright heavenly lamp, a celestial palace and cloud-piercing pavilion, suffused with earthen energy and radiating heavenly light, appeared. It was precisely the Purple Mansion Divine Ability [Jade Earth Heavenly Palace].

This Divine Ability is different from the unpredictable nature of [Return-to-One Heavenly River], the ethereal nature of [Ten Thousand Wood Firmament], and the fog-piercing clarity of [Dongming Lamp Illumination]. It is a bodily Divine Ability that focuses on defending oneself, concealing one's aura and hidden potential, elevating one's realm, gathering wealth, and is good at focusing on one's own changes.

If one were to distinguish them by Divine Ability category, the Heavenly River is a Boundary Divine Ability, the Ten Thousand Wood is a Luck Divine Ability, and the Dongming is an Artifact Divine Ability; each has its own emphasis.

With the emergence of this Divine Ability, the imagery, which already had minimal influence, instantly felt as if it were separated by a layer of heavenly palace curtain, making it impossible for others to perceive it anymore.

Inside his body, following the changes of Wang An's main body, the initial prototype of the [Return-to-One Heavenly River] Heavenly River law underwent a transformation, condensing into a tiny seed of white light. A faint law concerning change, heavenly water, and stars converged within it.

Although this is only a faint law, for life forms that have never touched laws, this Heavenly River is a real galactic world. Every point of light is a star system, and every drop of water is the cold water of the nine heavens, the water of the high azure sky, and the rootless water of the stars.

Besides the various functions of the original Heavenly River being strengthened by the faint law, once this Heavenly River is released outside the body to hover in the high sky, it becomes an excellent site for every Qi Refining cultivator practicing the Heavenly River Water Dao Foundation to collect the corresponding Wondrous Qi of imagery.

Looking into the distance, from his perspective, there was a black aura of fortune far away, transforming into a venomous snake that provoked him from time to time. Wang An let out a soft sigh.

"It has arrived; it is time to settle this."

Subsequently, he sent a message to Vice Dean Gaoyang Zhenkong.

He then headed to the outside world, seemingly pretending to go to the Wisdom God Tree in the library area to consult knowledge.

With Wang An's current strength, it is possible to kill Cancong Baixiang at the cost of some price, but killing a mentor inside the Bronze Human Race's academy would be too arrogant.

During the Dao discussion, he sensed that some veteran powerhouses were somewhat dissatisfied with the resources and preferential treatment given by the human upper echelons. Killing him like this would inevitably give them something to talk about, and turning against them in the future would not be good.

Therefore, before Wang An made his move, he notified the Vice Dean first. With him witnessing that Cancong Baixiang was privately intercepting and killing a distinguished guest, others would naturally have nothing to say.

He walked out of [Lingyang Mountain] and flew towards the library area in the distance.

As for the disciples of [Lingyang Mountain], there is no need to worry; it is not just his disciples who live here, but also some Initial-Stage transcendent students who are kind and curious about the Heavenly Talisman Dao Foundation system, often interacting with the disciples.

Even if the protective formation here is only Mid-Stage Level 1, launching a surprise attack here and causing many student casualties would make one a true traitor, and the academy's upper echelons would not hesitate to launch a thunderous strike against them.

As for Wang An himself, it can only be considered his personal action, and there is still room for maneuver between the two sides.

But now that he has been watched by this person, even a clay figure has three points of anger. He has never been afraid of anyone in the 10-plus years since he started cultivating, and since this is just an Incarnation, he is naturally unafraid of his threats.

Having flown less than a thousand miles, the sky suddenly darkened, and countless black mists permeated the air. A barrier radiating the profound principles of the Yin Realm laws descended.

Wang An took a look at his bracelet communicator; communication had been completely cut off.

"Is this the power of the profound principles of laws?"

The power of laws usually possesses a certain absoluteness in areas where there is no interference from forces of the same level.

Just like this kind of Yin Realm law principle, it possesses powerful laws of isolation and Yin spirits. Conventional-level communications can no longer function, and it even shapes such scenes suitable for coldness and spirituality.

It is almost equivalent to a Golden Nature magic treasure that possesses Golden Nature but lacks status.

"You have finally come; you have made me wait for so long."

A hoarse and bone-chilling voice rang out, but it was not the appearance of Cancong Baixiang, but rather that of a middle-aged man wearing a black hood with a sinister face.

Wang An sneered at this, his words mocking.

"Cancong Baixiang, you still need to change into this face to intercept and kill me? With your status as a Mid-Stage Level 3 powerhouse, are you that unsure of yourself?"

The middle-aged man did not take his words, instead unreservedly releasing his own momentum. A cold, domineering aura that eroded life and caused one to fall into death soared into the sky.

The originally lush mountain range here instantly turned into a place of cold death.

"Hand over the [thousand illusions myriad transformations nebula water], and I can spare your life. Inside this barrier, no one can save you."
