94: Law deduction

Xiao Zhuo sat cross-legged in the White Mist Space, a dazzling golden glow emanating from his neck downwards, the dark golden Purgatory Demonic Body patterns plated in a reddish-gold hue under the strong light.

The intense pain climbed towards his skull with the golden light, becoming increasingly severe, as if thousands of dull knives were repeatedly scraping his bones and meridians.

He gritted his back teeth, circulating the ninth level of the Primordial Chaos Golden Scripture Cultivation Technique. The Purgatory Demonic Body patterns and the golden glass light floating inside and outside his body gradually merged.

Forging the Grand Beginning Glazed Indestructible Body at the ninth level was only the first step; only by possessing the Grand Beginning Glazed Indestructible Body could one be qualified to wield the power of Law, as a mortal Physical Body could not control Law.

On the panel, the Attribute Points were continuously decreasing.

When they dropped from 800,000 to 400,000 again, Xiao Zhuo had already floated into mid-air, his entire body appearing to be forged from glass divine gold, crystal clear, with every blood vessel and every strand of muscle visible.

And the Purgatory Demonic Body patterns had completely merged with the Grand Beginning Glazed Indestructible Body.

Extremely powerful strength surged within Xiao Zhuo's body.

He suddenly realized why the Purgatory Venerable had failed to Breakthroug the ninth level of the Purgatory Demonic Body back then.

To Breakthroug to the Shattering Realm, one must transform their Physical Body into an energy form, as only this form can withstand the mighty power of heaven and earth.

Strictly speaking, powerhouses of the Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class) have already transcended the Human Race, which is why they are so much stronger than those in the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

Xiao Zhuo exited the White Mist Space.

The light on his body receded, and he returned to his normal state. After cultivating the Grand Beginning Glazed Indestructible Body, his strength, both in true essence and Physical Body power, had surged tenfold again.

The energy body could also be transformed into a Physical Body at any time, which was equivalent to gaining an additional energy-based ability.

The energy-based form was Xiao Zhuo's strongest combat state.

“I'm one step closer to Breakingthroug to the Shattering Realm!” Xiao Zhuo clenched his fist, feeling his reborn Physical Body, a slight excitement in his heart.

Just then, a prompt popped up on the panel.

“Detected host's achievement of an energy body, enabling Law deduction function.”

Xiao Zhuo looked at the panel, his eyes instantly lighting up.

As the prompt sounded, a silver button labeled “Law Deduction” appeared below the attribute frame.

Xiao Zhuo's thoughts moved, and he clicked on it.

“The host needs to comprehend and achieve getting Started in a Law before deduction can be performed.”

Seeing the System's repeated prompt, Xiao Zhuo's recently fervent heart cooled down again.

However, considering that even Cultivation Technique required getting Started, it wasn't strange that Law deduction required getting Started.

Moreover, he already had considerable insights into the Law of Thunder; as long as he calmed down and organized his thoughts, achieving getting Started shouldn't be a problem.

Thinking this, Xiao Zhuo immediately closed his eyes and delved deep into his Sea of Consciousness, observing the profound mysteries of Law he had collected with his Heaven-Observing Divine Eye during his Undergoing Tribulation that day.

Although he had seen the form and structure of Law that day, he had not successfully comprehended it.

Now, with the Blood Ancestor searching for him everywhere outside, it was better to stay hidden underground and diligently comprehend Law.

Once he successfully achieved getting Started, with the power of the panel, it wouldn't be long before he could completely master the Law of Thunder and step into the Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class).

At that time, it would be hard to say who would be hunting whom.

On the other side, outside the Taiyi Sect mountain gate, crowds surged, aristocratic carriages stirred up dust, and young adults with backpacks climbed the stone steps.

News of the Taiyi Sect reopening its mountain gate had spread throughout Jingji and Jizhou. A Sect with a Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class) powerhouse in charge was reopening its mountain gate to recruit Disciples.

Naturally, countless aristocratic families brought their Juniors to seek mentorship, and even many young adults from Jizhou traveled together to the Taiyi Sect, hoping to join its ranks.

A Sect led by a Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class) powerhouse, as long as one could enter, not to mention the Legacy and resources within, the sheer safety factor alone was alluring enough.

In these times, everyone feared that one day their city might be attacked by demons and simply vanish.

But in a place where a Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class) powerhouse resided, would those demons dare to approach, even with hundreds of times their courage?

In the Taiyi Sect's Internal Affairs Hall, Xuan Yun sat in a neatly organized, ancient study, reviewing a large pile of documents that needed approval.

There were requests for Artifact Refining Materials, budget applications for Spirit Medicine, and various ceremonial decorations needed for the mountain gate's reopening.

All of these required Xuan Yun's personal approval.

Although the Taiyi Sect still had many accumulated items, many were outdated. The most basic issue was that the currently circulating jinchen (gold essence/currency) had changed its standard countless times, so all of the Taiyi Sect's gold had to be taken to the mint for recasting.

Moreover, over these two millennia, the Human Race had developed many new Pill Formula, requiring the introduction of many Spirit Medicine seeds.

Even many daily necessities needed to be updated and replaced.

This kept Xuan Yun extremely busy.

However, Immortal Master Azure Heaven did not mistreat her. During this period, he even took the time to organize a Dao lecture for all Yuyang Sect Disciples.

He even personally guided Xuan Yun several times.

This greatly benefited Xuan Yun and these Disciples, who were already elites of the Yuyang Sect. In the past few days, many people had broken through their original Realm almost daily.

Even Xuan Yun felt that her Breakthroug to Sea of Consciousness eighth stage was only a matter of days.

This made everyone work even harder.

There were still two days until the mountain gate reopened, but many Sect representatives and Imperial Dynasty officials had already arrived at the mountain gate.

The entire Taiyi Sect finally became lively again.

In the morning light streaming from the Taiji Hall dome, Immortal Master Azure Heaven suddenly opened his eyes.

The spatial fluctuations from the northwest sky made him frown. With a swirl of his Daoist robe, he stepped into a Void Realm crack.

Yuyang Sect.

After Xiao Zhuo's three rounds of sweet rain, the Sect's spiritual fields were completely purified, and even the damaged Spiritual Vein had recovered significantly. Its full recovery was only a matter of time.

At this moment, countless Disciples were busy sowing seeds in the spiritual fields.

Suddenly, a spatial rift appeared in the sky, and a blood-robed youth stepped out—it was the Blood Ancestor. His terrifying pressure ruthlessly crushed everything around him without restraint.

True Man Xuan Wei and other Yuyang Sect powerhouses naturally sensed this terrifying pressure and flashed into mid-air. The recently repaired Sect's grand formation immediately activated.

However, the more than three thousand Disciples who were sowing seeds outside did not have time to rush back to the Five Peaks and were crushed to the ground by the terrifying pressure, unable to move.

“Yuyang Sect?” A cold, fierce voice resounded throughout the space. “Where is the person in charge?”

True Man Xuan Wei and the others also trembled violently as the pressure descended upon them, falling straight down and creating large craters.

Hearing the question, Xuan Wei struggled to his feet, straightened his back, and said loudly, “I am True Man Xuan Wei, Sect Master of the Yuyang Sect. What is Your Excellency's intention in coming here?”

The Blood Ancestor's crimson pupils turned, and True Man Xuan Wei felt as if his entire body had been seen through, as if he had no secrets before the other party. This was due to the vast difference in Divine Sense.

“Is Xiao Zhuo here?” The Blood Ancestor's gaze was cold, his tone a commanding one, high and mighty.

True Man Xuan Wei had already guessed from the other party's appearance that this person was the Blood Ancestor. However, the other party was too powerful, and he had to stall for time until the Human Race powerhouses noticed.

“Blood Ancestor! Although my Yuyang Sect is weak, it is still a major Human Race Sect, and a subordinate Sect of the Taiyi Sect. Isn't your behavior excessive?” True Man Xuan Wei's tone was soft yet firm, reminding the Blood Ancestor that a powerful Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class) like Immortal Master Azure Heaven had emerged in the Human Race. If he attacked the Yuyang Sect, Immortal Master Azure Heaven could similarly retaliate against his Blood Demon Clan.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a pressure ten times heavier than before descended from the sky, forcing True Man Xuan Wei to his knees, and the cold voice from above grew several degrees more menacing: “I ask a question, you answer! Say one more word of nonsense, and I will annihilate your entire Yuyang Sect!”

Despite his words, the Blood Ancestor did not actually launch a full attack.

After all, he was not alone. Since a full-scale war had not yet begun, if he were to destroy a Sect over a dispute between Juniors, he feared that Azure Heaven would not let his Blood Demon Race off the hook. He had come only to find Xiao Zhuo, and even if Azure Heaven protected him, he would risk injury to completely eliminate this Human Race Prodigy.

Just as True Man Xuan Wei's body was creaking and on the verge of collapsing under the pressure.

A gentle force swept over, and the overwhelming pressure was instantly neutralized.

The Blood Ancestor looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a Taiji Daoist robe also stepping out of a spatial rift: “Azure Heaven!”

“Fellow Daoist, you have come to my Human Race territory; why did you not inform us beforehand?” Immortal Master Azure Heaven waved his sleeve, dispersing the Blood Ancestor's pressure. His gaze swept over the Yuyang Sect Disciples in the spiritual fields below, his voice indifferent with a hint of teasing.
