105: powerful immortal spiritual root

After the System finished speaking, Ye Ming refocused his gaze on that wisp of immortal essence, vaguely sensing it slowly growing larger.

If he wanted the immortal essence to grow on its own to the point of Immortal Ascension, Ye Ming estimated it would take over a hundred years.

A hundred years was too long. He wondered if there was any other method to make it grow faster... Ye Ming pondered secretly.

The System appeared once again to resolve his confusion.

"Besides letting the immortal essence grow on its own, the Host can also absorb immortal crystals to accelerate the growth of the immortal essence, but the amount of immortal crystals required for Immortal Ascension is quite significant!"

"Immortal crystals? Is that the currency of the Immortal Realm?" Ye Ming asked the System curiously in his heart.

"Yes, just like the Rank of Spirit Stones, they are divided into Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and Top Grade. The Host can obtain immortal crystals through checking in. This System estimates that the Host will need to accumulate another ten years of check-ins before being able to obtain immortal crystals!"

Ten years? Ye Ming's eyes flickered. Ten years was not a long time for him; it would pass by quickly.

He just didn't know how many immortal crystals he would be able to obtain through checking in.

With that in mind, Ye Ming continued to comprehend the Law, wanting to know just how great the changes brought about by the Immortal Spirit Root were.

Now, he only needed a little more to master the Law of Light. Ye Ming just slightly sensed it, and an extra ray of light appeared among the power of Law within his body.

The Law of Light was mastered just like that? Ye Ming raised an eyebrow. So fast?

Previously, mastering that last bit of the Law of Light would have required a day, but now, he had mastered it in just three breaths of time.

With this speed, it seemed he didn't need half a year to comprehend all the Laws of the nine heavens profound pagoda. Ten-plus days should suffice!

Being able to comprehend and master twenty-five Laws in just over ten days—is this the Dao comprehension speed of the Immortal Spirit Root?

Having obtained this rough answer, Ye Ming was shocked, yet also exceptionally delighted.

With the Immortal Spirit Root, he wouldn't need to check in twice to ascend to the Undergoing Tribulation cultivation level. With the next check-in of eight hundred years of cultivation, he would definitely enter the Undergoing Tribulation stage!

After understanding the changes brought by the Immortal Spirit Root, Ye Ming immersed himself in comprehending the Laws.

Just like that, thirteen days later. Ye Ming's heart stirred; he had gained another twenty-five Laws within his body. A total of forty-three Laws were swirling within him.

One of the Laws occupied the center position, while the other forty-two circled around it. This Law was none other than his Yin-Yang Five Elements Law.

It was also one of his strongest Laws at present.

There were a total of fifty Laws in the nine heavens profound pagoda, and he had mastered them all, but seven of them were ones he already possessed.

These were the Law of Yin, the Law of Yang, and the Five Elements—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—these seven Laws!

Now that the foundation of his Laws had increased, the next step was to further improve his mastery of these Laws.

Then, he would organize the other Laws to see if some could be combined to become even stronger!

There were still a few months left before this Law comprehension session ended, so he would start by improving the Laws.

Thus, Ye Ming immersed himself in the Laws once more.

Meanwhile, outside the pagoda. After the three Grand Elders had remained silent in place for half a year, one of the Grand Elders finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Immortal Spirit, perhaps after the Dao Child finishes comprehending the Laws this time, you could make a trip to the Demon Realm. With your might, you should be able to find the Immortal Lord very quickly!"

As soon as these words were spoken, before the nine heavens profound pagoda could say anything, another Grand Elder spoke up.

"Xue Rou, I know you are very worried about that little girl, but once the Immortal Spirit sets off for the Demon Realm, there will be big trouble. It might implicate Yun Chen and the others. We can only wait for now!"

The kind-hearted Grand Elder sighed and said helplessly to that female Grand Elder.

At this moment, the nine heavens profound pagoda also spoke.

"I cannot go to the Demon Realm. There are Divine Demon Soldiers there, existences comparable to Immortal Artifacts like us. Once I go there, I will be discovered by those Divine Demon Soldiers, and the resulting situation will be something the Immortal Sect cannot handle!"

"This is also the reason why the Master did not take me to fight in the Demon Realm!"

Just after the nine heavens profound pagoda finished speaking, the Grand Elder Xue Rou turned and left with a blank expression, seemingly feeling distressed.

"Immortal Spirit, please do not take offense. Xue Rou is just too worried about the Immortal Lord. She watched the Immortal Lord grow up, and now that her life and death are unknown, she is only acting this way because she is distressed."

Seeing Xue Rou leave without a word, the other two Grand Elders hurriedly bowed to the nine heavens profound pagoda, explaining on her behalf.

"Sigh, it is no matter. I understand her feelings. How could I not want to make a trip to the Demon Realm myself..."

The nine heavens profound pagoda sighed, then stopped speaking and fell silent.

Seeing this, the two Grand Elders looked at each other.

The stern-faced Grand Elder spoke first: "Nian Xuan, go check on Xue Rou. I will wait here for the Dao Child to come out!"

"Alright!" Nian Xuan nodded and turned to find the Grand Elder named Xue Rou.

After Nian Xuan left, only one Grand Elder remained. He sat cross-legged on the ground and waited silently for Ye Ming to come out.

Just like that, more than five months passed. In the great hall, Ye Ming had been sitting cross-legged on that meditation cushion for a whole year. It wasn't until a voice appeared that he opened his eyes.

"The time for Law comprehension is up. Did you gain anything?"

The voice of the nine heavens profound pagoda reached Ye Ming's ears. In fact, it hadn't been observing Ye Ming over the past year, but was still trying to contact the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden.

Unfortunately, it had received no response. This also resulted in it having no idea how many Laws Ye Ming had comprehended.

Ye Ming did not speak; he simply stood up, and immediately, two Laws appeared around him.

When the cyan and white Laws appeared, the great hall suddenly turned cold, and the temperature plummeted rapidly. In less than a moment, it had dropped to minus fifty degrees.

Seeing the two Laws swirling around Ye Ming, the nine heavens profound pagoda couldn't care less that the great hall had frozen into an ice sculpture, and it exclaimed in great surprise,

"The Law of Wood, the Law of Ice—you comprehended these two Laws in one year?!"

"Mm!" Ye Ming nodded. Seeing that the nine heavens profound pagoda was surprised, he waved his hand, and the Law of Ice transformed into hundreds of humanoid ice sculptures.

Now the nine heavens profound pagoda had no choice but to believe it. It hadn't expected that Ye Ming, who was only at the Void Refining cultivation level, could comprehend two Laws in just one short year.

One of them was even a special Law. This Ye Ming's Dao comprehension ability was simply too strong!

Should it let him comprehend here for another year? Seeing Ye Ming's talent was so good, the nine heavens profound pagoda didn't want to waste such a Genius and decided to give him another chance!

Thinking this, the nine heavens profound pagoda said to Ye Ming: "Your talent is excellent. I have decided to give you another year of time to comprehend, and you may come once every three years!"

Hearing this, Ye Ming did not respond immediately, but pondered for a moment.

He had already comprehended all the Laws here. Staying here for a whole year was too boring; rather than staying here for another year, he might as well go back and lie flat!

With that thought, Ye Ming retracted the Laws from his body and bowed to the nine heavens profound pagoda: "Many thanks to the Immortal Spirit for the promotion, but this Disciple needs to return to stabilize the Laws just comprehended. In the short term, I cannot comprehend any more Laws!"
