450: Chapter 450 Thank you so much!

After a low hum, another wave of Qi surged out from a mountain cave.

This wave of Qi emitted a scent of happiness, triggering the appetite of nearby flowers, birds, fish, and insects, while also giving them a sense of fullness.

The living creatures thus showed expressions of satisfaction one after another, enjoying a moment of peace.

Just moments ago, they had actively approached because this cave emitted an aura of vitality; as they enjoyed the charm of life, many of them gained a spark of spiritual intelligence.

Because of this, some creatures did not leave, hoping to continue gaining benefits. Sure enough, it wasn't long before power radiated out once again.

Only, after this power radiated out, a bizarre feeling arose spontaneously. Their eyes became dull, followed by a sense of sorrow.

This was the first time they had felt sorrow since gaining intelligence. After sorrow came anger—an anonymous fire was born, making them want to attack the creatures around them. But just as they were about to make their next move,

That feeling suddenly vanished, leaving them in a daze. Their newly awakened and limited intelligence quickly reacted, realizing the danger and scattering in all directions.

Leaving behind only a mess on the ground.

"Strange. I understand that the Law of Creation is being attracted by the Law of Life, but who is the Law of the Heart being attracted by?"

Zhou Yan walked out of the Immortal Cave with his hands behind his back. He wore a moon-white formal inner robe and a light blue outer robe, with his hair tied in a ponytail.

However, his face carried a look of worry.

Just yesterday, Zhou Yan successfully advanced to Soul Transformation and completed the first Soul Transformation class advancement task. He successfully obtained a Law Upgrade Card, allowing him to choose between increasing the Law of Time by 1 level or giving any single Law a random increase in comprehension.

After choosing the first option, Zhou Yan successfully leveled up the Law of Time by 1, and consequently, his cultivation directly rose to the Soul Transformation Middle Stage.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to test his current strength and properly circulate his Laws, but an unexpected accident occurred.

As for the Law of Creation, it goes without saying—as soon as it's used, one can feel the faint pull of the Law of Life.

As for the Law of Consumption, it could be used normally, so Zhou Yan took the opportunity to connect it to the Sea of Laws as well.

Since he had already successfully entered once and established a connection, to connect again, he only needed to let the Law find its own way; there was no need to personally probe inside again.

So everything naturally went very smoothly.

Feedback from the Law of Consumption arrived quickly, allowing Zhou Yan to take another step forward.

But when it was the Law of the Heart's turn, an anomaly occurred.

Just as he probed out and used it slightly, he felt a pulling force even stronger than that of the Law of Life. Furthermore, the location was unknown, so Zhou Yan could only hurriedly withdraw it, not daring to continue releasing it.

Zhou Yan looked up at the sky and began to ponder deeply.

"I have felt the pulling force of the Heavenly Dao Region, and I have also felt that of the Earthly Dao Region."

"But this power seemingly belongs to neither of these two regions. Does that mean it comes from the Human Dao Region?"

Speaking to this point, Zhou Yan's brows furrowed even deeper.

"According to the System's description, the Law of the Heart should have been created by me, so it likely receives the same treatment as the Law of Creation here."

"Following the characteristics of the 'Heart', is there something in the Human Dao Region pulling me?"

"Tsk, forget it. Since it's similar to the Law of Creation, I won't use it in this era to avoid any accidents."

Temporarily suppressing his doubts, Zhou Yan then opened his panel to check his current status.

[Zhou Yan]

[Realm: Soul Transformation Middle Stage, Level 2]

[Vitality: 48.5m/48.5m]

[Mana: 40m/40m]

[Laws: Law of the Heart LV3, Law of Time LV2, Law of Consumption LV1, Law of Creation LV1.]

"This change is truly outrageous. Just by connecting the Law of Time and the Law of Consumption, my mana has nearly doubled."

"No wonder so many Cultivators choose to minor in one or two supplementary Laws."

"After all, simply connecting once can save years of bitter cultivation; who wouldn't like that?"

"Though it's true I haven't really done much bitter cultivation myself."

A faint light emerged from Zhou Yan's body, and a translucent figure surged out from within, quickly detaching from Zhou Yan's body like a Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body.

But Zhou Yan himself was not affected in any way.

"Is this what Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body feels like?"

The phantom in mid-air looked at its own translucent hands.

Ever since his Primordial Spirit was formed, Zhou Yan hadn't looked at it closely, only focusing on testing its power.

Looking at it now, it turns out this Soul Transformation is not simple at all.

Putting aside long-term goals, just for now, Zhou Yan's own Divine Sense already covered this island. But after the Soul Transformation avatar came out, it could also project Divine Sense. Under this double coverage of the already clear island,

Zhou Yan felt he could use his Divine Sense to replicate the entire island and its creatures at a 1:1 scale, including the DNA sequences of the living beings, ensuring they were identical.

This Divine Sense, which could already be called Heaven-Defying, left even Zhou Yan somewhat dumbfounded.

"Using my own Divine Sense to cover my own Divine Sense—you can even do that?"

"What kind of microscope principle is this?"

Zhou Yan was like a child with a novel toy, wanting to play with it and study another function of the Primordial Spirit—the use of the Soul Transformation Dharma Idol—when

He suddenly remembered something and hurriedly locked onto a target.

Then his figure moved, leaving behind only a cross made of white light. The cross seemed to be composed of light ribbons, constantly rotating and drifting until it vanished from the spot.

And Zhou Yan appeared at the other end of the island.

"Relying solely on my own spatial jump methods is indeed interesting, but this escape speed is still a bit lacking. It's best used in combination with escape techniques to better utilize it in battle."

"Speaking of which, doesn't Xuanyuan Qingyao still owe me an escape technique? I wonder if I can get it back."

"And Bai Ling seemingly owes me quite a bit too. When I go back, I must ask for it all back."

Looking at the pile of miscellaneous items before him, Zhou Yan was also somewhat speechless.

These were the resources Zhou Yan had casually asked for earlier.

The bulk of them were Medicinal Pills. If Zhou Yan hadn't remembered asking for resources, he would have thought these were the excrement of some exotic beasts.

Regarding ancient Alchemy, Zhou Yan really couldn't offer any compliments.

If he had to describe it, these various small colored pills would likely get someone expelled on the spot if brought to Pill Peak.

It was completely just mixing various rare Spiritual Plants together and refining them directly; at most, with some techniques, the medicinal efficacy was increased by three or four times.

A quick investigation revealed that their success rates were around sixty to seventy percent, with only a few reaching eighty percent.

It was simply a reckless waste of natural resources.

Zhou Yan casually put this trash into his bag; after all, picking up trash is a basic operation for online game players.

But when Zhou Yan organized his bag, he suddenly discovered that one item was taking up an extra slot.

"What is this, a small note?"

"It seems to have some special means for concealment. This script also seems to be the script of the Yao Race, with a bit of the dragon script style."

Under the language skill, this line of text was translated almost simultaneously.

"Brother Ao, I have modified the flow of time here. You can Cultivate with peace of mind. In about 20 years, it will be equivalent to a hundred years passing. At that time, I will personally come to find you to participate in the Heaven-Kowt Assembly together."

"I wish our plan success. When the time comes, we shall drink and make merry together."

"Left by Zheng, Da, Fu!"

Zhou Yan read out the last few words one by one, almost through gritted teeth.

"Damn! I have to run quickly!"

Without a hint of hesitation, Zhou Yan turned into a wisp of clear breeze and used the strongest escape technique he could currently Master, running for his life.

Originally, Feng Xu's wind methods were better suited for Soul Transformation. Now, under the operation of Zhou Yan's Soul Transformation Stage strength, it reached its maximum speed for the first time.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast the speed, one cannot outrun Luck.

"Old Ancestor, isn't this a coincidence? I was just about to look for you, and I didn't expect you to have just come out of seclusion."

Oh, my god!

Zhou Yan rushed out of the barrier and ran straight into Zhang Mingyuan, whose expression still held a hint of worry. He almost fell directly into his arms.

And Zheng Dafu was currently on the side, his face full of regret, but through the feedback of the Heart, this kid was secretly gloating.

Seeing Zhou Yan emerge from seclusion with an even more profound aura, Zhang Mingyuan felt greatly relieved.

He stroked his beard and sighed softly.

"It's also my disciple's fault for bringing you, Old Ancestor, to this island for seclusion. Bringing you here was one thing, but he actually reset the barrier."

"But fortunately, Old Ancestor's divine power is peerless. You successfully treated your injuries in less than 20 years. It seems your strength has recovered well, and it even happens to coincide with the time of the assembly."

"It seems there is a heavenly will in the darkness, making my originally hesitant thoughts firm up."

"Thinking about it this way, I should instead thank Dafu."

That's what he said, but it wasn't what Zhang Mingyuan thought in his heart.

You damned beast, you almost ruined my Dao Sect's great plan. Once the plan is complete, I will definitely turn you into a latrine door!

Zhou Yan knew the other party was helping Zheng Dafu get off the hook because Zhang Mingyuan still had a use for him and didn't want Zhou Yan's anger to ruin his own layout.

And Zheng Dafu didn't expect that after doing this, not only did he help Ao Runzhi, but his own Master was actually protecting him. Could there really be such a good thing?

Zhou Yan was also forced to show a smile at this time, saying word for word.

"Yes, Dafu also helped me make a choice, forcing my hesitant self to go to the Heaven-Kowt Assembly."

"I really must thank you!"

That's what he said, but it wasn't what Zhou Yan thought in his heart either.

You damned spy, if it weren't for the fact that I can't beat you, I would definitely tear you apart for firewood!

Zheng Dafu's originally regretful expression was no longer faked; he grinned with a wide smile and laughed.

"No, no, it was my fault. I just didn't expect that a mistake would turn into a blessing and instead facilitate the good fortune of Master and Old Ancestor. That is also because you two have good Luck; it has nothing to do with me."

That's what he said, but of course, it wasn't what he thought in his heart either.

This plan of mine was truly a stroke of genius. I didn't expect to complete such a grand scheme without any effort!

The three of them smiled like this, and the atmosphere was very lively.

If Zheng Dafu also had a mini-map,

He would have discovered a boss and an elite monster spawned right next to him.
