Free Web NovelChapter 480: Chapter 76: The Secret of the Law
Zhenyi City.
Li Mu and the others naturally saw the figure blocking the Jiuli Defense Line, it was still Shen Yao.
The key was that the technique Shen Yao used was not the ’Healing’ law he had demonstrated before.
Instead, it was another extremely destructive law, perceived by him.
The artillery fire rebounded by the array seemed terminally ill.
Weakened from the ’root’, gradually dissipating.
"Is this the power of Soulbreaking Aconite?"
Ma Shihuang was somewhat puzzled and uncertain. Although he had never personally experienced Soulbreaking Aconite, he had studied it.
Of course.
He was not studying the Soulbreaking Aconite that Shennong once swallowed, the toxicity of which even Shennong could hardly withstand.
Moreover, the original Soulbreaking Aconite had already been consumed by Shennong, and its subsequent derivatives could never reach that level of toxicity.
Only then could Ma Shihuang study it.
The poison used to control Gonggong back then was also researched from Soulbreaking Aconite.
It can be said.
In the Lie Mountain Tribe, besides Shennong, he had the most knowledge about Soulbreaking Aconite.
But ironically, he hadn’t mastered this similar power of Soulbreaking Aconite either.
It was also the ’Healing’ law comprehended from the path of the Medicine Immortal.
Shen Yao was clearly cultivating the path of the Medicine Immortal, how could he master such a law?
Not to mention, Shen Yao even mastered two laws at the Harmony of Dao level.
It’s certainly not because Shen Yao is exceptionally gifted, otherwise, he would have already advanced to Human Immortal.
In Ma Shihuang’s view, being able to comprehend laws at the Harmony of Dao level should allow one to advance to Human Immortal.
How could he comprehend a second law then?
"It must be the master’s favoritism!"
Ma Shihuang thought resentfully, only Shennong, who is already a True Immortal, could do that.
Moreover, this law is clearly related to Soulbreaking Aconite.
Shen Yao doesn’t even have much understanding of Soulbreaking Aconite, only Shennong could reach this level.
As Shennong’s disciple for so many years, Shennong never taught him such a method.
But instead, it was given to someone at the Unity Realm.
The guilt of having betrayed Lie Mountain had already completely vanished at this moment.
He even had some resentment towards Shennong, thinking that if Shennong had taught him this method of mastering two laws earlier.
Or helped him master two laws, maybe Lie Mountain wouldn’t have lost then.
He wouldn’t have needed to betray Lie Mountain due to circumstances, where would the term ’traitor’ come from now.
Being labeled a traitor was all caused by Shennong, although due to Li Mu’s orders and his own actions.
The people of Youxiong viewed him differently, but sometimes he could see that deep-seated disdain in their eyes.
This constantly infuriated him, but it was his choice back then.
Ma Shihuang was helpless.
But now he was told, another possibility might exist.
"This is the power of Soulbreaking Aconite, its similarity would allow it to ’break the soul’, it should be a law with extreme offensive potential.
However, the vehicle upon which this law rests should be skewed towards ’poison’."
Ma Shihuang quickly analyzed and told Li Mu everything he knew.
Li Mu’s gaze fell upon the Nine Heavens Profound Lady beside him, "Can the Kunqian Formation resist such a law?"
"It shouldn’t be difficult, after all, the one manipulating this law is merely a Unity Realm individual, even if the law triggered by the Kunqian Formation is only a fraction.
In a clash of laws, the strength driven by a single Unity Realm is naturally smaller than ours."
The Nine Heavens Profound Lady looked towards Shen Yao, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.
To master two laws at the Harmony of Dao level would make one a genius even among those ancient Dao lineages.
One could even become a direct disciple.
Yet, unfortunately, he joined the Jiu Li.
"That works."
Li Mu nodded, "It seems Wind Queen has indeed made great progress in formations, even creating a formation capable of allowing a human to control an immortal."
Harmony of Dao and Human Immortal often represent a qualitative change in laws.
When a Human Immortal masters the law, they can leverage it to gain nearly a thousandfold, even ten-thousandfold power.
The intricacy of laws makes it so only comparable laws could nullify each other.
Yet, Wind Queen managed to achieve it.
Although it currently requires the assistance of the Profound Lady Race to set up the first formation, as time extends.
The formations can be laid down more frequently, this will shift the balance.
When the Ying Dragon and Princess Drought Demoness return, it will mark the downfall of the Jiu Li.
...
"This formation contains a reversal method, which will reflect it back, and with the infusion of formation power, the reversed strength will be even greater."
"Moreover, probably just a fraction, but it could still be considered a marvel of formations."
Duan Xiu glanced several times and discerned the essence of the formation, of course, only revealing the laws contained within it.
Shen Fei listened nearby, this fraction could be regarded as 1% on the panel.
While the Empress’s ’Freezing’, after the Medicine Ancestor advanced to Myth.
The Empress’s panel was also updated, showing ’Freezing’ in her law.
[Laws (1/5): Freezing (Tier One of Myth; 5%) (Everything can be frozen, any attack ability can gain ’freezing’ effect, freezing and solidifying it afterward)]
Reaching directly to 5%, possibly a reflection of the Cold Abyss God’s understanding of the law.
Shen Fei naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity to seek advice and quickly asked, "Priest Duan, what does comprehending a fraction of a law mean?"
Duan Xiu answered, "To rise from Harmony of Dao to Human Immortal is like moving from skill to law.
Law is fixed, law is the image of fixation."
"If pre-Human Immortal cultivation is skill, post-Human Immortal is ’law’ cultivation.
That is the so-called law. Upon comprehending a hundred strands of a law, one can attempt to enter the Dao with the law.
And this Dao, is referred to above True Immortal as ’Enlightenment of True Self’."
"Cultivate the Dao and cultivate the Dao, only when one truly knows what the Dao is, can they cultivate it.
And True Immortal, being called True Immortal, the beginning of true immortality at this time."
"After this...well, telling you now will not do much good, you’ll understand once the High Priest advances to Human Immortal." Duan Xiu wanted to say more, but it was as if he was stuck.
Paused for a moment, then said no more.
Shen Fei raised an eyebrow in thought.
Could it be that this Ancient Secret Realm does not permit such information to be disclosed, or has it been restricted by ’man’?
Then Shen Fei changed the subject, "Before, you were surprised to know Shen Yao mastered two laws..."
"Not surprised by mastering two laws, but at the Harmony of Dao level.
After True Immortal, with ’True Self’ one comprehends other laws quite normally, but also quite difficult yet there are ways."
"Laws have strong exclusivity, without your own ’Dao’ to accommodate them before True Immortal.
Even a Human Immortal would only cause mutual repulsion, resulting in utter death and Dao dissolution."
Shennong spoke up.
Shen Fei frowned, "But in that case, is there no method to cultivate two laws simultaneously at the Human Immortal level?"
Shen Fei was mainly thinking about the Empress, if the Empress could only master the ’Freezing’ law to enter Tier Twelve.
Wouldn’t that be too weak?
