261: Chapter 261 The Power of Laws, the Law Stone!

Walking into the building.

What met his eyes was an incredibly vast open space; one could almost not see the end of it at a glance...

In the open space, a few senior Students were sitting scattered about.

And looking up.

Nine incredibly massive, damaged stone steles were floating in the air ahead.

These were none other than the enlightenment steles.

On these steles, some were carved with text, some with inscriptions, some had only a single sword mark, and some even had nothing at all, being just a bare stone stele.

However, although the things on them were different.

The sense of pressure and depth they gave people was equally terrifying.

There were a few steles that Li Fan only looked at for a few more moments before feeling a strange sense of dizziness.

It had to be said.

These enlightenment steles truly are quite mysterious!

And soon.

The two of them began to choose the enlightenment steles suitable for their own meditation.

Peng Song's choice was not surprising at all.

He just took a rough glance and his gaze was drawn to the stone stele carved with the sword mark.

Then, without almost any hesitation, he walked directly to the space below that stone stele, sat down cross-legged, and began his meditation.

Li Fan, however, was not as quick as Peng Song.

Li Fan sized up every single stone stele.

But there wasn't a single stone stele that made him fall for it at first sight or gave him the thought that he absolutely had to look at it.

And finally.

Li Fan chose to sit in front of that wordless stele, which had no text and no other signs on it.

The reason for his choice was very simple.

Looking across the nine stone steles.

Among them, there were seven that made him feel a bit dizzy; the longer he looked, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Only two stone steles did not give him such a feeling.

One was the wordless stele in front of him, and the other was a crimson stone stele next to it.

However, compared to the wordless stele, the degree of damage on that crimson one was much greater; the textures and text on it were incredibly mottled, and most areas also had no marks. Only a very small section truly had content.

In contrast, this wordless stele.

Although there were no marks on it, it appeared to be the most perfectly preserved.

So after thinking it over, Li Fan decided to choose this wordless stele.

And seeing Li Fan sit in front of this wordless stele.

Quite a few people present couldn't help but cast surprised looks at him.

But soon, they withdrew their gazes.

To choose the wordless stele for meditation, one could basically be said to have entered the ranks of those completely wasting their time.

Regarding this, they naturally couldn't waste more of their own time to lament Li Fan's choice.

And just as Li Fan was looking at the wordless stele in front of him, preparing to start sensing it.

A voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"How can there be a law stone here?!"

This voice was none other than the Old Mans Spirit Li Fan had taken in at Confinement Valley.

Hearing this voice.

Li Fan was almost startled.

This was said far too abruptly.

Immediately, Li Fan hurriedly sent a mental transmission:

"Senior, the next time you want to speak to me, could you please give a hint in advance?"

To Li Fan's complaint, the Old Mans Spirit couldn't help but chuckle softly:

"My apologies, I just couldn't hold it back for a moment.

But don't worry, under normal circumstances, I won't just idle chat with you, young friend."

As soon as the Old Mans Spirit said this, Li Fan couldn't help but feel a bit between laughter and tears, but he immediately noticed another point—it seemed this Old Mans Spirit knew something about this wordless stele.

So Li Fan sent a transmission to inquire.

"Senior, do you recognize this stone stele?"

Regarding this, the Old Mans Spirit didn't keep him in suspense and explained directly.

"This isn't some stone stele; this is a law stone."

"You don't understand law stones, do you? Let me enlighten you."

"As everyone knows, the cultivation of living beings in the universe is actually the cultivation of the Laws of the Universe. The higher a practitioner's level of comprehension of the laws, the higher their control, and the higher their strength."

"Normally speaking, those who can reach the step of completely controlling a single law are all cultivators who have reached the Immortal Level."

"Cultivators below the Immortal Level, except for a small number of people with heaven-defying comprehension who can achieve a rudimentary fusion of laws for combat or other purposes."

"Most people actually cannot understand what a law even is at all."

"But there is a way that can allow some people whose comprehension isn't quite enough to more easily perceive laws, and that is through a law stone!"

"However, this thing is extremely rare—so rare that even I have only seen it once."

"I truly never expected that there would actually be one in this place."

"But it seems the little fellows here don't recognize its value, actually putting it together with other dross."

After hearing the Old Mans Spirit's words.

Li Fan's heart was truly shocked beyond measure.

This law stone sounded like it had quite a background, and its use was even greater!

According to the Old Mans Spirit's words, with this law stone, he would have the chance to comprehend a tiny bit of a law and fuse Law Power into combat?!

Just hearing this was already quite heaven-defying!

Thinking of this, Li Fan's heart was already incredibly excited.

And the Old Mans Spirit also sensed Li Fan's emotions, and immediately poured a bucket of cold water on him.

"Alright, although I very much hope you can grow up as soon as possible, with your current ability, don't count on being able to rely on this law stone to comprehend even a shred of a law."

"You are currently only at the Star-Treading Level. I have never seen anyone who could sense Law Power at the Star-Treading Level. I suggest you try when you reach the Star Shattering Rank or the Universe Level. Especially at the Universe Level, according to your talent, it should be more secure then."

As soon as these words came out.

Li Fan's heart really did go half cold.

So this fortuitous opportunity has nothing to do with him?!

But soon.

Li Fan's fighting spirit was ignited.

Having to wait until the Star Shattering Rank or Universe Level—he didn't have that much time to wait!

Whether he can comprehend it or not, how would he know without trying?!

If he hadn't seen a Star-Treading Level comprehend Law Power before.

Then he might just be that exception!

But before sensing it, he still had to ask a key question.

"Senior, are law stones divided into categories?"

That's right.

The Laws of the Universe encompass everything.

If they were categorized, and the one in front of him didn't belong to the Law of Strength or the Law of Thought, then he could indeed choose to give up on the meditation.

Because that would be equivalent to letting a newborn infant solve the most complex mathematical problem.

And hearing Li Fan's words, the Old Mans Spirit did not answer immediately, but was instead slightly surprised.

"Uh, you don't still want to try to comprehend it, do you?"

Li Fan didn't deny it either. "Yeah, I want to try."

Regarding this, the Old Mans Spirit was somewhat helpless and continued, "Fine then, anyway, those other pieces of dross aren't of much value either. Just give it a try; maybe there'll be a miracle."

"As for law stones, they are indeed divided into categories. The one I saw before was a law stone containing the Law of Fire."

"The one in front of you is very coincidental and very suitable for you. It is a law stone of the Law of Strength!"
