Yuan's Ascension

Chapter 364: Greater Law

Based on the description of the Star Ruins Sword Codex, only those who have reached the Amethyst Cradle phase have the potential to grasp the initial segment of the codex. Wu Yuan mused to himself. It is profound enough for most Void Refiner Eminences to cultivate.

As for the middle segment? Even most Tribulation High Immortals might not be able to understand it fully.

I am only an initiate in the Celestial Body Dao. The initial segment of the codex will suffice for my current needs. Wu Yuan deliberated.

The exorbitant price of the middle segment, a staggering ten million dragon crystals, was beyond his reach at the moment. Though he had received Earth Immortal Qing Feng’s gift, Wu Yuan possessed only twenty million dragon crystals in total.

While seemingly a substantial sum, this was the sect's allocation to a hereditary disciple for hundreds of years' worth of cultivation. Acquiring more dragon crystals in the future would prove far more challenging.

I must spend it wisely. Once I have fully studied the initial segment of the Star Ruins Sword Codex, my strength will undoubtedly increase. It won’t be too late to redeem the middle segment then. The surplus dragon crystals can be traded for other treasures.

"Hereditary disciple Li Xia, you are redeeming the initial and middle segments of the Dark Earth Sword Codex and the initial segment of the Star Ruins Sword Codex, totaling four million dragon crystals. Do you confirm?" A solemn voice reverberated in Wu Yuan's mind.

"I confirm," Wu Yuan affirmed quietly.

"Four million dragon crystals have been deducted, your balance is now sixteen million dragon crystals. The relevant teachings have been transmitted to your personal hall," the resonant voice intoned. "Bear in mind that these teachings are not to be divulged to others."

"I understand," Wu Yuan acknowledged.

Upon his induction into the sect, he had sworn a corresponding oath that he would not disclose the sect’s teachings without permission.

With a mental command, Wu Yuan was instantly transported from Mirage Dragon City to his personal hall. It was very vast, even more so than his personal hall in the Redmoon Immortal Realm.

The Dragon Star Immortal Realm may seem inferior to the Redmoon Immortal Realm, but the main features remain unchanged. Wu Yuan observed as he surveyed his surroundings.

As a hereditary disciple, he enjoyed superior privileges, with access to simulations for equipment forging, pill refining, talisman crafting, and the creation of ethercrystal weaponry—all at no cost.

Teachings. With a mental command, a colossal light screen materialized before him, displaying a detailed inventory.

As he selected 'teachings', the two sword codices Wu Yuan had just acquired appeared on the light screen. He gently tapped them with his fingertip. Numerous light particles converged to form two huge crystal clear books. They were virtual immortal slips.

Every large sect on the immortal continent stores all sorts of teachings within its Daoist Scripture Tower in its corresponding voidrealm, unless it is on the brink of extermination.

All factions on the immortal continent, whether large or small, would build corresponding Daoist Scripture Towers. Some voidrealms were simple with only basic functions, while others were intricate and comprehensive.

Let’s have a look at the 'Dark Earth Sword Codex'. With a thought, Wu Yuan’s Soul Force entered the first virtual immortal slip.

In an instant, a deluge of information flooded Wu Yuan's mind, abstruse beyond measure, equivalent to billions of words if transcribed.

In the Middle Land, the Heavenly Rankers claim the Dao cannot be casually imparted. Yet, they can’t even explain what the Harmony of Man and Nature is clearly. Wu Yuan mused to himself.

Unable to explain something clearly? It simply implies a lack of skill!

On the Redmoon Immortal Continent, whether it was the True Intent or higher stages, it could all be explained by great experts, let alone the Harmony of Man and Nature.

Of course, clarity did not equate to comprehension. At most, it could only reduce the difficulty of comprehension, and immortal cultivators still needed to cultivate diligently to improve their understanding.

The initial segment of the 'Dark Earth Sword Codex' encompasses essentia cultivation methods at the Qi Sea phase and the Golden Core phase.

It contains the relevant sword forms, sword array methods, and various other techniques. In particular, it only includes the first three steps of the sword array. Wu Yuan absorbed the information transmitted by the virtual immortal slip.

Having already obtained the initial segment from the realm master, Wu Yuan was able to understand it quickly. He also noticed subtle differences in some details, but understood that no secret art or teaching remained unchanging. Each generation of experts inheriting the manual imparted their own insights, enriching it. However, this did not affect the overall methodology.

If I am fortunate enough to fully comprehend the 'Dark Earth Sword Codex' in the future, I can incorporate my unique understanding and insights when passing it on to the sect’s future disciples.

The Dark Earth Sword Codex was based on the Land Dao.

Since I’ve decided to study it, I must strive to forge my own path, incorporating my understanding of the Celestial Body Dao.

Analyzing the first three steps of the sword array from a different perspective yielded valuable insights.

After a short while.

The middle segment of the Dark Earth Sword Codex. As Wu Yuan continued to process the information from the immortal slip, he found it increasingly profound and complex.

Though he couldn’t understand it at first, he didn’t fret, diligently memorizing all the details from the inheritance first for later contemplation.

Finally, after memorizing the entirety of the first virtual immortal slip, Wu Yuan felt a sense of dizziness creeping over him despite his strong soul. N/nêw n0vel chap/ers are published o/n n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

No wonder the realm master only gave me the initial segment. Even if he had the middle segment in his possession, I wouldn’t have been able to cultivate it at the time. He shook his head slightly.

The sheer volume of information was almost too much for his soul to bear.

However, processing the middle segment of the ‘Dark Earth Sword Codex’ has deepened my understanding of this sword codex. Though Wu Yuan had only memorized the information once, it provided him with numerous newfound insights.

At least, it shed light on the path of immortal cultivation he was to walk.

After a brief rest, Wu Yuan began to process the initial segment of the ‘Star Ruins Sword Codex’. The information in the virtual immortal slip surged into his mind like a tide. Though the quantity of information was not as massive as the Dark Earth Sword Codex, it was more complex and profound.

Upon processing the inheritance, Wu Yuan finally realized why this sword codex was so expensive and difficult to grasp.

This Star Ruins Sword Codex is basically a simplified version of the Celestial Body Law Codex, or in other words, an explanation of the Celestial Body Dao through the application of the sword. Wu Yuan was shocked.

The same Dao could manifest in completely different ways in the hands of different immortal cultivators. Though the core principles remained the same, the outward appearances were vastly different.

Without a doubt, the ‘Star Ruins Sword Codex’ was well suited for Wu Yuan.

If the ‘Celestial Body Law Codex’ is the general outline for comprehending the Celestial Body Dao, then the ‘Star Ruins Sword Codex’ is the detailed explanation of the Celestial Body Dao through the path of the sword, guiding me step by step in understanding. Wu Yuan immersed himself in the codex, slowly beginning to unravel its complexities.

The ‘Star Ruins Sword Codex’ was considered one of the top-tier teachings of the Dragon Star Immortal Sect, yet few disciples had chosen to redeem it over the years.

Even if protectorates or elders chose to study this sword codex, most relegated it to an auxiliary cultivation method, rather than focusing on it as their main cultivation path.

The reason was simple—it was too challenging.

The Great Dao of Earth’s Essence, one of the Great Daos of heaven and earth’s essence, was incredibly profound, encompassing countless laws and profundities.

If one could comprehend the Celestial Body Dao, a core facet of the Great Dao of Earth’s Essence, it meant that one was close to comprehending the Great Dao of Earth’s Essence.

After countless generations of disciples and eons of existence, only a rare few within the Dragon Star Immortal Sect had gained a rudimentary understanding of the Celestial Body Dao. As for fully comprehending it, not a single person had managed to accomplish it!

In fact, throughout the vast expanse of the Redmoon Immortal Continent, across endless eras, not a single being had achieved complete comprehension of the Celestial Body Dao.

Naturally, the Star Ruins Sword Codex, though highly valued, remained an insurmountable challenge for most immortal cultivators. Most couldn’t even reach an initiate threshold of understanding.

The Star Ruins Sword Codex is the most suitable path for me. By studying these sword arts, I will gain an understanding of the Dao from the techniques, deepening my understanding of the Celestial Body Dao. Wu Yuan made his decision.

He understood that the higher the level of his Dao comprehension, the more quickly he would gain mastery over the sword arts. Advancing his sword arts would aid in his comprehension of the Dao.

The Celestial Body Dao, or the Celestial Body Law as it is sometimes called, is considered an Intermediate Law. Wu Yuan mused to himself, delving into the deeper layers of knowledge within the codex. The complete Celestial Body Law encompasses three Daos: Land Dao, Gravity Dao, and Earth Origin Dao.

Within heaven and earth, in the vast expanse of time and space, numerous Daos intertwined as they operated, serving as the foundation of heaven and earth.

The Essences of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, etc, were the most profound Great Daos, also known as Greater Laws.

Each Greater Law could be divided into many Intermediate Laws, and each Intermediate Laws could be divided into numerous Lesser Laws. Numerous interwoven Lesser Laws formed a complete Greater Law.

Every immortal cultivator's ultimate goal is to comprehend a Great Dao. Wu Yuan understood this clearly.

How difficult was it?

Countless Tribulation High Immortals struggle to fully comprehend a Lesser Law. If I completely comprehend the Celestial Body Dao?

If he could comprehend an Intermediate Law, overcoming his Tribulations and becoming an Archimmortal would be a breeze!

One could only imagine how difficult it was.

Every skyscraper is built from the ground up. Let’s take things one step at a time. Wu Yuan’s mind remained steady.

When he first arrived in the Middle Land, he encountered numerous challenges. However, he faced each obstacle with patience, overcoming them one by one. Now, in the Redmoon Immortal Realm, he applied the same method.

I shall tap into the power of the Dragon Star Immortal Sect to fuel my rise. I must work hard to meet the expectations of that mysterious Senior.

Wu Yuan began another session of cultivation.

Apart from his routine daily essentia cultivation, Wu Yuan dedicated himself entirely to contemplating the Dao.

Guided by the Star Ruins Sword Codex and the Celestial Body Law Codex, he contemplated the Dao’s profundities step by step.

Simultaneously, he attempted to interpret the sword techniques within the ‘Dark Earth Sword Codex’ with the Celestial Body Dao.

The Celestial Body Dao encompasses three Lesser Laws, but I cannot advance my comprehension of all of them evenly. I should focus on the profundity of the Land as my core. Wu Yuan understood the importance of staying within his limits.

Every individual had their own strengths and weaknesses. For him, he had remarkable aptitude in the Land Dao. His ability to inherit the legacy of Great Eldritch Kua Fu was intimately linked to his comprehension of the Land’s profundities.

Naturally, he strived to leverage his existing strengths, augmenting them even further!

Time slipped away as Wu Yuan engrossed himself in cultivation. Before he realized it, a month had passed.

Whoosh! Wu Yuan departed from the world residence and hurried toward the Star Origin Soil, arriving swiftly at the same jade platform as before.

He activated the array, isolating the space within one li of the platform.

Without warning, the same unkempt old man materialized before him, wearing a sly grin as he regarded Wu Yuan. "You're quite punctual, kid."
