278: Some people look up at the sky, while those in the sky look up at an even higher sky.

Zhao Tao scratched his head with the long strip of paper in his hand, saying with some difficulty, "Lord Tianxuanzi, you know, I..."

"I know," Zhao Lingyun interrupted him, a glint flashing in his eyes.

Zhao Tao's Awakening was the Nine-Character Heaven and Earth Law, which had no title and belonged to the weakest tier among the Supreme.

But precisely because of this, it held the most experimental value.

Only if the Heaven and Earth Law was not strong could it truly be tested whether this thing was useful and whether its amplification effect was significant.

With that, Zhao Tao no longer hesitated and decisively summoned his Heaven and Earth Law.

As the massive Heaven and Earth Law appeared with a roar, its form was towering, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.

Zhao Tao, standing in the head of the Heaven and Earth Law, tried to transmit Spiritual Qi into the strip of paper in his hand.

The next moment, something astonishing occurred.

The ordinary strip of paper suddenly unfolded and began to move within the Heaven and Earth Law, quickly reaching the palm of the Heaven and Earth Law.

It was gradually permeated by the azure Heaven and Earth Law, integrating into it, transforming into a Sword Bone.

Then, it transformed into a complete giant sword radiating sharp Sword Intent!

"Swing it!" Zhao Lingyun shouted excitedly, his voice filled with anticipation.

Wielding the giant sword materialized by the Heaven and Earth Law, Zhao Tao felt that the sword in his hand was not like a weapon, but rather an extension of the Heaven and Earth Law's palm.

It was more like a finger suddenly turning into a sword.

He slashed out fiercely with a sword, Sword Qi crisscrossing, heaven and earth changing color!

An azure sword light tore through the sky, splitting the clouds above and emitting a piercing roar.

Its power far surpassed any of his previous attacks.

"The power has indeed increased, but it should be far more than this!" Zhao Lingyun's eyes glowed as he shouted again:

"Test its hardness!"

Within the rune field, summoning Heaven and Earth Law was usually not allowed. Zhao Tao's action this time was an exception under Tianxuanzi's instruction.

This earth-shattering sword strike instantly attracted the attention of the other Qin Family members.

Most people were startled by this sudden anomaly and looked over.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tao, who was above, thought for a moment. With his left hand, he again condensed a long sword made purely of Spiritual Qi, and decisively swung it down towards the giant sword in his right hand, which was formed from the "dao pivot weapon."

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the rune field, and sparks flew.

However, at the very moment of impact, the Spiritual Qi sword in his left hand, which lacked a Sword Bone, disintegrated into specks of spiritual light like fragile ice crystals.

The azure giant sword in his right hand, though showing some minor cracks, did not shatter.

"It worked! It succeeded!" Zhao Lingyun was overjoyed at this sight, jumping up excitedly, his face beaming with incredible ecstasy.

The surrounding Qin Family members also began to discuss curiously.

"What is that, a new rune technique?"

"Doesn't look like it, it's more like something exclusive to Heaven and Earth Law..."

"Heaven and Earth Law has its own exclusive Law?"

"By common sense, it's impossible, but it seems it might be that person's... Law!"

"That person?" Upon hearing this phrase, everyone's mind immediately conjured that name—Qin Wangchuan of the Qin Family.

He had developed quite a few Laws, so if this was also developed by him, it wouldn't be surprising.

Amidst the discussions, Zhao Lingyun seemed oblivious.

He bit his lip, squatting down on the spot and writing something on the ground, while his mind was awash with a torrent of thoughts.

"The purpose of this thing is merely to enhance the weapons of the Heaven and Earth Law. But if this 'bone' were to extend throughout the entire Heaven and Earth Law, wouldn't it further enhance the Heaven and Earth Law's combat power?"

This thought flashed through his mind like lightning, instantly igniting all his inspiration.

A Heaven and Earth Law with 'bones' would definitely be stronger than one without 'bones.'

"It can be done!" Zhao Lingyun almost roared soundlessly, the speed of his fingertips on the ground increasing, leaving behind trails of profound runes.

The framework left by Qin Wangchuan was like a solid foundation, allowing his thoughts to expand.

"The bones of weapons, the body of the Law. The ultimate Fusion of offense and defense."

"dao pivot weapon... dao-pivot body! This thing will definitely change the Heaven and Earth Law!"

"Monster..."

"Qin Wangchuan... you truly are a monster!" Zhao Lingyun suddenly looked up, his eyes burning with an unprecedented fervor and excitement.

To be able to create such a subversive framework, his vision and understanding of the essence of Dao Law had already surpassed the scope of ordinary people... The main campus of Myriad Dao Academy is located in the Immortal Court, yet it is independent of the Immortal Court.

This place is no longer a mere academy gate in the usual sense, but a magnificent world independent of the Realm!

It even has its Dao lineage in foreign lands.

Looking out, there were no walls or plaques, only countless massive gateways glowing with the radiance of Law, standing between heaven and earth.

Above the firmament, Dao runes interwoven into a brilliant celestial river, showering down billions of auspicious colors.

Spiritual Qi was as dense as liquid, surging into rivers.

Countless Prodigies gathered here, looking forward to stepping into this boundless Dao field where Law formed itself.

"Myriad Dao Academy, as expected of a Supreme Dao lineage spanning across all heavens," a young man in luxurious robes murmured, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Beside him, another person responded, "It is said that as long as one can enter it, even those who were at the bottom of their class in the same year will surely become a regional magnate and a Dragon and Phoenix among men when they return to their respective states!"

"Dragon and Phoenix among men? You'd have to get in first."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a young man in a star-patterned robe, arms crossed, standing calmly beneath an ancient pine tree.

His gaze swept over the dense crowd, a hint of disdain curving his lips: "Among these people, probably less than three out of ten will ultimately step through that gate."

"As for those who can leave their names, they are even rarer than Phoenix feathers."

Though these words were harsh, no one refuted them.

Because everyone knew that the threshold of Myriad Dao Academy was despairingly high.

Just then, three vast and ancient auras suddenly appeared in the distant sky, drawing countless gazes.

"That aura... it's the Holy Son of Tai Xu Sect! Rumor has it that he has Cultivated his sect's unique art, the 'Tai Xu Heaven Transformation Art,' to an extremely high Realm. Not only is his Cultivation speed, but his strength is also Heaven-Defying."

"Jiang Xuanli, the Eldest Princess of the Central State Immortal Dynasty, is here too! Didn't she already enter the Academy?"

"And that one! The one in black and gold armor, he's the Young Lord of the Demonic Heaven Sect. He once, as a half-step Supreme, slew a foreign descendant lord on an extraterrestrial battlefield!"

Amidst the discussions, the three slowly descended.

"The three trials of Myriad Dao Academy are difficult, but for me, they should be nothing," the Holy Son of Tai Xu Sect said calmly, gazing at the towering gate.

However, as he spoke, his gaze occasionally drifted towards Jiang Xuanli not far away.

It wasn't admiration, but... awkwardness!

Last time he went to the Immortal Dynasty to show goodwill, he didn't expect to be ignored by Jiang Xuanli.

Now he only hoped she wouldn't bring up that matter.

The Young Lord of the Demonic Heaven Sect beside him shook his head and responded, "Passing the trials merely gets you an entry ticket."

"The real challenge lies in breaking the records left by past Prodigies and engraving your name on the Myriad Dao Stele. That is true fame and glory for one's Dao lineage!"

These words immediately resonated with some of the surrounding Prodigies, and discussions gradually arose.

"Speaking of leaving a name, what do you think of Chu Wujiu?" someone asked in a low voice, with a hint of reverence. "Rumor has it that he not only possesses the Nine Hells War Body, growing stronger with each battle, but his talent and Cultivation are also impeccable."
