Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 50: Understanding the Law and the Ancient Mystery Society
In front of Fang You, three stone tablets fell to the ground one after another.
At first glance, these law monuments are not very high, only about three meters. The law monument representing "fire" is reddish in color, giving people a burning feeling; the law monument representing "sword" has sharper edges and corners, giving people a sense of sharpness; the law monument representing "wood" has a light green frame, which seems to contain vitality.
At first glance, these three things do not seem particularly extraordinary, just like most treasures.
But when Fang You looked at it more closely, some characters began to vaguely emerge on the surface of the square stele, which was originally empty.
The characters are cryptic, obscure, and extremely difficult to read.
If the one staring at the square stele was just a sixth-level awakener, he would most likely be mentally traumatized, the pollution in his body would become unbalanced, and he would turn into an evil being on the spot!
Only those who have reached the Mythological Realm are qualified to comprehend the Law Monument, but most of them were confused after seeing it.
The same goes for when a demigod comes!
Teacher Fang...understood.
“That’s the law.”
He said something nonsense.
"The manifested runes of laws. But can laws actually exist in the form of concrete symbols?"
It was related to the law, he could guess it from the name of the treasure.
To understand it means to really understand it, or to understand it a little bit.
Fang You stared at the Law Monument symbolizing "wood". More and more profound inscriptions appeared on it. This Law Monument, which was only three meters high, kept rising in front of his eyes, like a stone pillar that stretched to the sky with no end in sight.
As a meditator, he sat under the square stele and seemed as small as a bug.
Perhaps, only when I can understand all the inscriptions related to "wood", can I see the end of this stone tablet of law.
Unconsciously, Fang You's mind had been completely immersed in it.
The passage of time loses its meaning at this moment.
His whole body exuded a natural aura, and the rhythm carried a bit of profound and mysterious laws.
One day, two days, three days...
Ten days.
For ten whole days, Fang You sat in front of the "Square Monument of Laws·Wood", motionless like a sculpture.
At this moment he suddenly opened his eyes.
In the pupils of his eyes, there seemed to be a flash of a tree that could reach the sky.
"I……"
“Yes, I’m having an epiphany.”
He remembered.
His thoughts gradually emerged from the state of enlightenment and became clear, but at the same time he felt fatigued in waves.
He came out of his state of enlightenment, not because he couldn't understand, but because his mind couldn't bear it anymore!
The inscription on the law has weight!
This weight was so great that ordinary myths could not bear it. Fang was also unable to bear it, and had to quit after only ten days and ten nights of enlightenment.
"But my gains are huge, so huge that I can't sort them out all at once. I have to sort them out."
He snapped his fingers, and new sprouts sprouted out of the soil around him. Invisible ripples spread out, transforming the surrounding land into a forest.
This is the skill Tree of Life.
But wait,
"I don't think I borrowed any skills from Liu Shang."
The use of the Tree of Life was unexpectedly a bit clumsy, but as he used it, more and more information and techniques related to this legendary skill emerged in his mind.
This is……
He opened the panel.
〔bite!〕
[Hint: You have gained some insights from observing the "Square Monument of Laws·Wood".]
[Hint: You observed the "Law Monument·Wood", and your use of wood skills has improved.]
[Hint: Your skill "Growth Entanglement (Green MAX)" has exceeded the upper limit of the proficiency level.]
[Hint: Your skill "Tree of Life (Gold, Uninitiated: 91.6%)" is in the process of being comprehended...]
[Hint: You have mastered the skill "Tree of Life (Gold)".]
He has been learning this legendary skill for a long time.
However, later on, when he was in seclusion in the Secret Realm of Time and Years, he often accidentally immersed himself in cultivation and forgot to practice the Tree of Life, which he had not yet mastered.
He was not in a hurry.
He set himself two major training tasks, one is to sprint to the semi-god realm, and the other is to study the use of world power. These two are what he needs most.
On weekdays, his training cards are mostly used for the two legendary training skills of "Body Tempering of Ten Thousand Beasts" and "Visualization of Mountains and Rivers".
There is not much spare time to devote to other skills.
but,
"I just sat there in a daze for ten days and I was able to easily master the legendary skills. This is... too easy!"
According to this rule, it would not be difficult for him to start practicing another frequently used legendary skill, "Nirvana Holy Fire".
In front of him was a square monument symbolizing the law of "fire"!
If you can master the "Holy Fire of Nirvana", the benefits it brings will be greater than the Tree of Life. This skill has a passive effect, which can accumulate the power of Nirvana and be reborn when you fall.
Because it requires accumulation, Fang You cannot obtain this feature when using skills for free.
"I have gained a lot from comprehending the Law Monument. Improving my skill proficiency is just one of them. The real benefit is that I have become more proficient in using wood skills. I am undoubtedly much stronger than before."
"However, I have not yet been able to truly comprehend the laws of the wood element, and have not yet been able to touch the power."
His understanding of power and laws at this time was roughly below the ninth realm and above demigod.
The high-level beings of the ninth realm possess power.
They naturally touched upon the most appropriate power at the moment of promotion.
Legend has it that within the evil god's camp, the evil god can use his supreme authority to grant power to a certain servant and forcibly elevate him to the ninth realm.
Before the arrival of the mysterious era, the eighth-level demigods could rely on a large amount of faith power to ignite the divine fire, push themselves into the ninth-level quasi-gods, and then easily gain power with the power of the quasi-gods.
However, this path of faith has become outdated in today's era.
Not only is the power of faith difficult to obtain in large quantities, but this energy is tainted with filth. It may be fine if it is simply burned as firewood, but if it is integrated into the body, it will inevitably lead to the high-ranking powerful being's degree of pollution being aggravated, and gradually losing his sanity.
The most orthodox and safest way is to advance to the ninth level by relying on one's own strength.
This requires a powerful demigod to find an opportunity and path that suits himself.
This is so mysterious that it is hard to describe.
But if one could gain power and comprehend the laws before advancing, then the process of finding one's own path would be countless times easier.
After placing the three law steles in the forbidden area at the back mountain of the academy, Fang You announced the news to the core group of Xinhuo.
Liu Feng: "A square stele that can materialize the law is worthy of being a teacher! Oh, is there also a square stele for the sword? I must go and see it."
Qianqiu: "Hey, another magical item. I seem to have a few sword skills. I'll go and comprehend them."
Xing Jinglei: "Why not exercise your body? A real man should beat his own body!"
Yi Luoxi: "It's because there is no monument suitable for me, hehehe."
Iroshi: "And the Fire Monument is a perfect match for this Empress. Humph, just wait for you to be beaten by this Empress."
The rise of Empress Iloxi, catching up with and surpassing Youyou, is just around the corner.
She had said this many times, but this time was different. She was serious and had absolute confidence.
Without it,
She reflected on herself and finally understood with her intelligence why she had never been able to surpass An Jianyou in the past.
She had the same opportunities as An Jianyou before. She was making progress, and so was An Jianyou.
Since she was already a little bit inferior to An Jianyou, and both of them were making rapid progress, it meant that she would never make any progress and would never catch up.
But this time, among the three law monuments, sword, wood and fire, one of them suits him perfectly, but none of them is suitable for An Jianyou.
This is the perfect opportunity!
Although I feel a little guilty about taking this opportunity to overtake, luck is also part of strength. Youyou, when I overtake you, I will protect you~!
Hohohohoho——
Inside the Burning Chamber of Commerce, Yi Luoxi stood with her hands on her hips and laughed wildly, her burgundy hair burning like fire.
She quickly went to the back mountain of the academy and sat down in front of the monument of the Law of Fire.
Yi Luoxi didn't know at this time that it was a very difficult thing for a person in the Mythological Realm to comprehend the Law Monument. She twisted and turned at first, looking very impatient.
She is a mage, but she has never been a quiet mage.
But as he watched, Yiluoxi gradually became absorbed in the world, and a mysterious charm rippled around him. As time passed, this charm became more and more profound, as if it was about to brew the rhyme of the law.
…
A few days later,
〔bite!〕
[Hint: The Apostle of Destiny "Yiluoxi" comprehended the Law Monument and gained some insights, and the power of his fire skills increased.]
[Hint: The Apostle of Destiny "Liu Shang" comprehended the Law Monument and gained some insights, and his wood-related skills were improved.]
[Hint: The Apostle of Destiny "Liu Feng" comprehended the law of "slashing"...]
In front of the sword monument, Liu Feng suddenly opened his eyes. He put his fingers together as if they were a sword and drew a light line, leaving a black crack as dark as ink.
It lingers for a long time.
"The Law of Sword Slashing!"
"After understanding this law, I have the confidence to directly penetrate the disaster star of that day."
"However, even with such a magical object as the Law Monument, it still took me several days to get started. Isn't it a bit slow?"
He fell into deep thought.
Fang You in the distance fell into deep thought.
Oh, Liu Feng is a veteran eighth-awakening demigod, so that’s fine.
However, even if Liu Feng comprehended the laws, and even if he had a period of rapid improvement in the next period of time, he was still far from being a match for a high-level being in the ninth realm.
The gap between high position and demigod is too big!
Almost as big as the dimension difference.
As someone who has been through this, Teacher Fang has a lot of experience.
"The upper limit of the Secret Realm of Time and Years has been reached. If Liu Feng and Zhou Bao want to have combat power that can rival those at the highest levels, they will have to wait until next year at the very least."
This is based on rapid improvement.
Thinking of this, Fang You turned his gaze to the god-killing weapon Qianhong.
In terms of combat power alone, Qianhong is still superior to his fellow apprentice Liufeng.
He came to a training ground in the base and took out the Black River camp myths and the divinity that remained after the fall of the demigods, and fed them to Qianhong one strand at a time.
Qianhong half-knelt down, mouth slightly opened, and devoured the divinity with a crunching sound, as happy as a child weighing several hundred tons.
It devoured the divinity extremely quickly, and it only took less than half a day to eat dozens of strands.
But the improvement brought by divinity is becoming less and less.
In the end, the repair progress of the God-killing Weapon, Light Red, stopped at 79.9%, and no matter how much divinity it devoured, it could not be improved.
This is the limit.
He tested it and found that the combat power of Light Red at this stage was at the peak of Demigod, with unlimited energy and invincible defense.
However, the gap between light red and high levels is still huge.
It's not enough.
"But how do we fix it? We have no clues."
Completely stuck.
What Fang You was most worried about was that Qianhong could only be repaired to this point. After all, it was damaged too badly and its mind was completely destroyed and disappeared.
He pondered, "It seems that conventional thinking is not going to work, so what about unconventional thinking?"
His eyes fell on the light red secondary apostle and he tried it out.
〔bite!〕
[Hint: Do you want to consume your fate points to repair the God-killing Weapon, Light Red?]
[Hint: Destiny Points - 100W, Revelation in Progress...]
The exploration module of the strange world next door began to flash. Outside the explored area, in the distant darkness, a golden exclamation mark appeared, as eye-catching as the blazing sun.
…
In the strange world.
There is no oasis here, and there is extremely thick gray fog floating everywhere, but above the gray fog, one can see terrible scenes such as the blood moon, black river, shadows, frozen soil, etc.
Occasionally, human myths would set foot in the strange world, but they would not dare to look up.
Come in a hurry and leave in a hurry .
At this time, two figures looked up, glanced at the changes in the sky, and their faces showed worry.
"It is very likely true that the evil god will awaken and become more active and terrifying."
"Yes, now there are signs of awakening in many places. If it weren't for the constant attacks between the evil god camps, there would be no place for us humans to survive. But even so, Yunhui Realm almost suffered a disaster."
"Yunhui Realm..."
The old man in the star robe frowned. In his opinion, the Yunhui Region should have been the safest place for human beings, but such a situation had occurred.
"What on earth are those guys from the Holy Court doing?"
"I'm not sure, but I heard that the Holy See has its own plans. They should be preparing something."
The two old men looked at the high-ranking battle in the distance and sighed quietly again.
It is so difficult for humans to be promoted to a high position.
…
The strange world, another secret place.
The sun, the moon, and the stars hang high in the sky, below them are holy mountains tens of thousands of meters high, there are surging holy rivers, there are magnificent palaces, and there is divine light all over the sky.
This is like a divine place.
"The evil god from outer space will awaken once again."
The ancient being shrouded in the light of the sun spoke.
Another ancient being took over and said:
"Now, most of the areas in the Weird World have been infected and assimilated by the evil gods. The Weird World doesn't have much time left, and we don't have much room for maneuver."
"It doesn't matter. We will all take action."
"But the power of the evil god is invincible."
“Not necessarily invincible.” The ancient being shrouded in starlight said, “We must admit that the mysterious system is superior to our ancient god system, but now that we have analyzed the mystery and actively integrated into it, we have gained more power. We may not have no chance of fighting the indescribable evil god.”
"Indeed, only mystery can kill mystery."
"It's just that time is running out, and my strength has not yet recovered to its peak."
"It doesn't matter, the world is supporting us."
"Oh, we are the ancient and great gods, and we are the masters of the world. It is reasonable for us to save this world that is on the verge of extinction."
"Unfortunately, the remaining creatures in the strange world are too weak, and even the largest number of humans cannot bear the heavy responsibility."
"Humans, apart from Candela who was barely worthy of attention back then, the rest of the humans are just like that. After all, they are just low-level creatures."
"No, humans still have some good points. Moreover, some of my fallen friends may be reincarnated as humans under the impetus of the world."
In the secret place, ancient beings spoke one after another.
There are also beings who have long since turned their gaze to the human world, and landed on their "acquaintances".
