151: Chapter 151 Deepening the Laws

"Tsk, another new day."

He sat up and rubbed his face.

"Yesterday, Yin and Yang were newly established, the Feedback Efficiency reached 24.5%, and the bone tablet analysis hit 3.1%..."

"Gotta keep at it today."

He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

His consciousness sank into the Origin Star.

He locked directly onto the Chen Tribe.

In the open space at the center of the tribe, that fragment of Yin-Yang Warm Jade had already been embedded into the ground, emitting a faint black and white halo.

A circle of tribesmen surrounded it, all sitting in meditation to gain enlightenment.

Elder Yan stood at the very front, eyes closed, with his hand pressed against the Warm Jade.

"Yan."

Yan's whole body jolted; he quickly opened his eyes, turned around, and knelt.

"God!"

"How is the effect of the Warm Jade?" Lin Muchen's voice echoed in Yan's mind.

"Reporting to God," Yan said excitedly, "the effect is too good! It's only been here for one night, and the air in the entire tribe feels different—more... more balanced!"

"When the tribesmen Cultivate, the flow of spiritual energy has become much smoother!" (At this point, it's just strengthening their bodies; they haven't reached the first level of the Qi Refinement Stage yet.)

"Mm."

Lin Muchen sensed it for a moment.

Indeed.

The gentle aura emitted by the yin-yang warm jade fragment was slowly improving the tribe's environment.

That "sense of balance" was much stronger than yesterday.

"What about the Two-Polarity Grass?" Lin Muchen asked.

"In the spiritual fields!" Yan said quickly. "We already planted the seeds God bestowed yesterday and gave them their first watering with Taiji Spiritual Water."

"I went to check this morning, and they've already sprouted! All ten seeds survived!"

Lin Muchen's consciousness swept toward the spiritual fields.

Sure enough.

Ten small grayish-white sprouts had poked out from the soil, looking quite tender.

Extremely faint black and white air currents swirled around each sprout.

That was them absorbing the Yin and Yang Qi.

"Growing quite fast," Lin Muchen remarked.

"It's all thanks to the holy water bestowed by God!" Yan kowtowed. "We used that bottle of Taiji Spiritual Water diluted, and the effect is staggering! After watering, the other spiritual plants in the field have also become much more spirited!"

"Good."

Lin Muchen was very satisfied.

The six hundred and fifty points weren't spent in vain.

"Yan, how is the research on the Yin-Yang Harmony Talisman going? Can you draw it stably now?"

"Yes!" Yan scrambled up, ran to the side of the altar, and pointed at a new stone slab. "Look, God, this is one we just drew this morning. It's even more harmonious than yesterday's!"

Lin Muchen took a look.

The runes on the stone slab flowed with black and white, and the boundaries were as natural as water.

The energy fluctuations were very stable.

"Not bad," Lin Muchen said. "Just drawing it on stone slabs isn't enough. These runes must be carved into the Foundation of the tribe."

Yan was stunned for a moment.

"God means..."

"Find a large stone, or just use the open ground next to the altar, and carve the complete Yin-Yang Harmony Talisman onto it."

"Let it become a part of the tribe, constantly emitting the power of harmony."

"In this way, the tribe's Yin-Yang environment will become increasingly stable, and the tribesmen's Cultivation will benefit."

Yan's eyes lit up.

"I understand! It's like burying a spark in the soil to let it burn slowly and warm the entire tribe!"

"Exactly."

"I'll get right on it!"

Yan quickly called over several strong tribesmen and hauled out a waist-high bluestone from the tribe's warehouse.

This stone had been dug up from the mountains previously; it was hard in texture and had a flat surface.

It was perfect for carving runes.

Yan took charge personally.

He picked up a specially made stone chisel, took a deep breath, mobilized the faint spiritual energy within his body, and began to carve.

The first stroke landed in the center of the bluestone.

The colors of black and white flowed from the tip of the chisel, seeping into the stone.

This was no ordinary carving.

Every strike of the chisel carried all of Yan's insights into the Yin-Yang Harmony Talisman.

Every stroke drew upon the aura of the yin-yang twin stone on the altar.

Yan carved very slowly.

Sweat beaded on his forehead.

But his hands were very steady.

The surrounding tribesmen all watched with bated breath.

Lin Muchen also watched through his consciousness.

One hour.

Two hours.

The sun gradually rose higher.

Yan finally finished the last stroke.

Buzz—

The bluestone vibrated slightly.

The carved runes suddenly lit up.

Black and white light intertwined, as if coming to life, slowly flowing across the stone's surface.

A gentle, balanced wave of energy spread out from the bluestone as its center.

It covered the entire tribe.

The tribesmen who were meditating all felt it.

The flow of spiritual energy became another degree smoother.

"It's done!" Yan flopped onto the ground, panting from exhaustion, but his face was full of smiles.

Lin Muchen sensed it carefully.

This bluestone carved with runes was like a small harmony node.

It continuously emitted the power of Yin-Yang balance, improving the tribe's environment.

The effect was at least thirty percent stronger than relying solely on the yin-yang warm jade fragment.

"System, analyze this."

[Analyzing...]

[Chen Tribe has successfully inscribed the 'Yin-Yang Harmony Talisman (Solidified Version)' on the altar stele.]

[Effect: Continuously harmonizes the Yin-Yang environment within the tribe's range, increasing tribesmen's Cultivation efficiency by approximately 8%.]

[Origin Star Yin-Yang Law diffusion speed increased by 20%.]

[Current Feedback Efficiency: 24.5% → 25%.]

The Feedback Efficiency has broken through to 25%.

Lin Muchen was delighted.

"Not bad, Yan. Good job."

"Thank you for the praise, God!" Yan quickly scrambled up to kowtow.

Lin Muchen exited the Origin Star.

He opened his eyes.

"System, can the Yin-Yang power be considered deepened now?"

[Scanning...]

[Origin Star Yin-Yang Law has been initially deepened.]

[Suggestion: You may attempt deeper multi-attribute Fusion experiments.]

[Warning: This attempt involves stronger energy interactions and requires full monitoring by the Host.]

"Deeper Fusion?" Lin Muchen rubbed his hands. "How deep?"

[Host can simultaneously call upon Source Star Wind and Thunder Power, Five Elements power, and Yin-Yang power to attempt a second round of resonance.]

[The three forces will touch and intertwine simultaneously, exploring the possibility of higher-level Law linkage.]

[The System will provide real-time energy guidance and conflict buffering.]

"Alright, let's do it!"

Lin Muchen closed his eyes again.

His consciousness sank into the Origin Star.

This time, he mobilized the three forces simultaneously.

Wind and Thunder Power gathered from the sky.

Five Elements power rose from the earth.

Yin-Yang power gushed out from the altar bluestone and the yin-yang twin stone.

Three energy streams of different colors and properties, under Lin Muchen's guidance, slowly flowed toward the space above the altar.

Wind and thunder were a restless cyan and purple.

The Five Elements swirled in five colors.

Yin and Yang were a balanced black and white.

The three forces made contact simultaneously for the first time three meters above the altar.

Buzz—

A sense of resonance far stronger than yesterday's surged forth.

The air around the altar distorted for a moment.

Yan and the tribesmen backed away a few steps in fright, but their eyes were wide, staring fixedly at the sky above.

The three forces did not fuse immediately.

Instead, they intertwined, coiled, and tested each other in the air.

Like three snakes of different colors, sizing each other up.

The Wind and Thunder Power was the most active, constantly trying to drill into the Yin-Yang power.

The "Yang" part of the Yin-Yang power was triggered, glowing slightly.

The "Yin" part was like a net, gently wrapping around the Wind and Thunder Power to keep it from getting too wild.

The Five Elements power was the most stable.

It split into five fine streams, seeping into the wind-thunder and yin-yang forces respectively.

Metal Element strengthened the sharpness of wind and thunder.

Wood Element nourished the vitality of Yin and Yang.

Water Element harmonized the conflicts.

Fire Element stimulated activity.

Earth Element stabilized the structure.

Gradually, the three forces were no longer just in contact.

They began to slowly... rotate.

With the space above the altar as the center, an energy vortex about five meters in diameter formed.

Cyan-purple, five-colored, and black-white—the three colors intertwined, rotating slowly.

With every rotation, the vortex became more solid.

The fluctuations it emitted also grew stronger and stronger.

[Recording...]

[Deep resonance generated between Wind-Thunder, Five Elements, and Yin-Yang attributes.]

[Resonance Effect: Energy vortex initially formed, Law linkage significantly enhanced.]

[Origin Star Natural Law Perfection: 37% → 40%.]

[Warning: Energy vortex stability is average; continuous energy injection is required to maintain it.]

The perfection level jumped by three points in one go.

Lin Muchen mentally exclaimed how awesome it was.

"System, how long can this vortex be maintained?"

[At the current energy injection speed, it can be maintained for approximately twelve hours.]

[After twelve hours, the vortex will dissipate naturally, but the Law linkage insights generated during this period will be permanently deposited in the Origin Star.]

"Twelve hours... one day."

Lin Muchen pondered.

"That's enough."

"Letting this vortex rotate for a day will significantly thicken the Origin Star's Law Foundation."

"Maybe the Feedback Efficiency will even rise a bit more."

Just as he was thinking this.

Suddenly, the System popped up a new prompt.

[Anomaly detected: abyssal bone tablet fragments analysis progress accelerated.]

[Current analysis progress: 3.1% → 5%.]

"Huh?"

Lin Muchen was startled.

"Why did it suddenly jump so fast?"

[Analysis: The newly generated Yin-Yang Harmony Power of the Origin Star continues to diffuse, infiltrating the bone tablet fragment's Seal space.]

[Yin-Yang power possesses strong 'neutralizing' and 'balancing' characteristics, producing a continuous purification effect on the abyssal aura sealed within the fragment.]

[Simultaneously, the Law fluctuations generated by the three-attribute resonance indirectly vibrated the internal structure of the fragment, accelerating the analysis process.]

"It seems working on the Yin-Yang Law not only improves feedback but also speeds up the wearing down of this broken tablet."

"System, did you analyze any new information?"

[Analyzed a small amount of fragmented information.]

[Information keywords: 'Venerable Black Bone', 'Subordinate', 'Bone Envoy', 'Blood Sacrifice Node', 'Northern Border', 'Rift Stabilization'...]

[The information is too fragmented to form complete intelligence.]

[However, it can be confirmed: A direct force called 'Bone Envoys' exists under 'Venerable Black Bone'. Their activities are closely related to the deployment of 'Blood Sacrifice Nodes', with the suspected goal of stabilizing a certain 'Rift' in the 'Northern Border'.]

Lin Muchen's heart sank.

Bone Envoys.

Blood Sacrifice Nodes.

Rift Stabilization.

These terms strung together sounded sinister.

"That evil array of the Blood Wolf Gang, and kidnapping Iron Sword Sect Disciples for Blood Sacrifice... they must be working on a 'Blood Sacrifice Node', right?"

[Probability is extremely high.]

[The bone tablet at the Black-robed Cultivator's waist shares the same origin as the fragment obtained by the Host.]

[It can be basically determined that the Blood Wolf Gang incident is a part of the activities of the forces under 'Venerable Black Bone' in the Northern Border.]

"The water is really deep." Lin Muchen tsked. "Good thing I didn't go wading into these murky waters."
