Free Web NovelChapter 494: Chapter 491: Law
"Mo the kid, did something happen?" the Pig Emperor asked.
Mo Qi’s unusual behavior made the Pig Emperor suspicious. After all, it knew the beautiful woman’s identity.
’Given her status and power, she would never have casually left a few items behind as mere clues.’
’Since Mo Qi was now in the game, and was very likely the woman’s child, these so-called clues must have been arranged by her from the very beginning. Her obvious goal was to help Mo Qi grow.’
At this thought, the Pig Emperor’s expression turned serious and grave.
’Honestly, it didn’t want to get dragged into the machinations of the great powers.’
But it knew that from the moment it followed Mo Qi out of the Wailing Abyss, it was already in the game and could no longer remain a bystander.
There was only one path before it now—to team up with Mo Qi and see this through to the very end!
The Pig Emperor was the being Mo Qi trusted most, so Mo Qi held nothing back and told it everything that had happened.
"What? The Void Spirit Flame?! The Divine Eye of Time?! The Undying Holy Liquid?!"
After hearing Mo Qi’s story, the Pig Emperor’s eyes widened, and it almost cried out in alarm.
It knew Elder Ku Mu was still watching them from the shadows, so it could only communicate with Mo Qi via voice transmission.
"To think it was these three items... That’s an incredibly lavish gift!" the Pig Emperor marveled.
Mo Qi asked, "You know what these three things are?" freёweɓnovel.com
The Pig Emperor nodded, its expression turning serious. "Of course. The Void Spirit Flame may only be an Earth-level Fire Seed, but it’s incredibly special—it naturally contains the Space Law. If you manage to refine and fuse with it, the benefits will be boundless."
"The Divine Eye of Time is even more incredible. That’s the Time Law we’re talking about!" freewebnovel.cσ๓
"And as for the Undying Holy Liquid, that’s an energy fluid created through the painstaking efforts of a Saint Ancestor-level powerhouse. A single drop can allow a mortal to become an Immortal on the spot!"
’Become an Immortal on the spot?!’
Mo Qi was stunned.
He had never heard of the Space Law or the Time Law and had no idea what they signified, but the six words "become an Immortal on the spot" truly shook him to his core.
He remembered clearly that the Undying Holy Liquid devoured by the Chaos Scripture had appeared as a great river. Just how many drops was that!
’A single drop could create one Immortal... that great river of holy liquid could probably create over a hundred million Immortals for him!’
Holy shit!
A hundred million Immortals!
What a terrifying force that would be!
Mo Qi’s heart was bleeding.
If it were possible, he would have loved to drag the Chaos Scripture out of his Sea of Consciousness, give it a sound thrashing, and force it to cough up the Undying Holy Liquid.
However, the Chaos Scripture merely lay quietly above his Sea of Consciousness, ignoring him completely.
Knowing what Mo Qi was thinking, the Pig Emperor shook its head and chuckled. "Mo the kid, of these three items, the Undying Holy Liquid is the least valuable."
Mo Qi paused. "What do you mean?"
The Pig Emperor said, "The Immortals created with the Undying Holy Liquid are all of the lowest tier. Moreover, because they lack the accumulation and tempering of the foundational Realms, that’s as far as their accomplishments will ever go."
"A hundred million Immortals might sound impressive, but in reality, they mean nothing to the entire Immortal Realm. In the future, they would be cannon fodder, at best."
Mo Qi was shocked yet again.
’Immortals... just cannon fodder?!’
The Pig Emperor knew Mo Qi couldn’t accept this yet, so it sighed. "Don’t think too much about it for now. You’ll naturally understand once you reach the Immortal Realm and your Martial Arts Cultivation is high enough. The most important thing for you right now is to focus on comprehending the Space and Time Laws. They are the greatest treasures your mother left for you!"
"What are Laws?" Mo Qi asked with a frown.
The Pig Emperor said, "It’s a bit complicated to explain. You can think of them simply as the laws of nature, like how water flows downhill or how the years wear a person down."
"Of course, the examples I’m giving are very simple principles, things visible to the naked eye that even mortals know. True Laws are obviously not so shallow. But one must start from these simple truths, constantly delving deeper, constantly exploring, until one fully grasps the true essence of a principle and can wield it as their own."
"It’s like the Domain and Mental Realm you comprehended before. Laws are simply a higher level of existence than them."
"As for the specifics, you’ll have to comprehend them for yourself. But this emperor must remind you: of the three thousand Great Daos and countless Laws, Time and Space are absolutely among the most supreme. The sooner you master them, the more advantageous it will be for you."
Mo Qi fell silent for a long moment before saying, "I understand. I will do my best to comprehend these so-called Laws and master them as quickly as possible."
The Pig Emperor nodded. What it didn’t tell Mo Qi was that Laws are a requirement for Immortals to establish a Venerable Position.
Never mind a Vajra Realm Cultivator like him; even many Immortals could spend their entire lives without grasping the first step, ultimately dying in regret when their lifespans came to an end.
The Pig Emperor was very eager to see how Mo Qi would fare when faced with the Laws.
"Mo the kid, what are your plans now?" the Pig Emperor asked.
Mo Qi replied, "First, I’ll get out of this mountain range and find a human settlement to digest my recent gains. Then I’ll wait for the Demon Spirit Battlefield to open. My External Incarnation has run into a bit of trouble, but it has also found some unique clues."
The Pig Emperor didn’t press for details, instead turning to the Scab Chicken.
"Mo Tu, do you know the way out?"
The Scab Chicken jolted, snapping out of its daze.
"I do, I do! I can lead the way."
Although the Scab Chicken didn’t recognize the beautiful woman, it had lived for over thirty thousand years and knew many of Elder Ku Mu’s secrets.
Therefore, it could guess a thing or two about the woman’s identity.
As a result, all of its previous dissatisfaction with Mo Qi vanished in that instant.
’This was a patron so powerful it was beyond imagination!’
’It would be a crime against the heavens not to cling to it for dear life!’
The Array around the great lake had dissolved on its own the moment the woman vanished.
Mo Qi gave a deep bow toward the great lake, then left with the Pig Emperor, following close behind the Scab Chicken.
...
From the shadows, Elder Ku Mu watched Mo Qi leave, looking somewhat distracted.
’I stood guard for so many years, only for him to take what that mad girl left behind so easily?! Without a single test?’
Elder Ku Mu found this hard to accept.
’No, that’s not right. The mad girl’s arrangements would never be so simple-minded. I must have missed something!’
Elder Ku Mu carefully replayed the entire sequence of events in his mind but couldn’t find anything he had overlooked.
This being the case, Elder Ku Mu grew rather agitated.
’No! I can’t just let this go! Mad girl, it’s not that this old man doubts you, but even if that boy is your child, I have to test him properly! I need to see if he’s truly worthy of everything you left behind!’
’If he’s just some useless bum, then this old man will take it upon himself to discipline him properly for you!’
At this thought, Elder Ku Mu’s eyes lit up.
’That’s it!’
’This must be the real reason the mad girl had me guard this place for so long!’
And so, in the next moment, a voice simultaneously echoed in the ears of everyone within the Desperate Mountain Range.
"I am the master of the Desperate Mountain Range. I now issue you all a quest: whoever finds and kills this person shall become the next master of the Desperate Mountain Range!"
As the voice faded, an image appeared in everyone’s minds. It was an image of Mo Qi!
