Chapter 357: Cultivating Transforming Dark Eternal Silence

The large-scale awakening of the people immediately dispelled the tense atmosphere.

All eyes turned toward the Awakening Platform.

“A new Dao Artifact wielder has emerged!”

“I didn’t expect it to be him…”

“Ming Waiyang!”

Only one new Dao Artifact wielder stood on the high platform, a familiar child to many. Though he had never publicly appeared, anyone in Tomorrow City had at least heard the name of this child prodigy.

They never expected that during his very first Dao Artifact awakening, Ming Waiyang would surpass everyone else, becoming the only one to awaken a Dao Artifact.

Yong Fa scratched his head, looking at the panel in front of him with a sigh…

He had not awakened a Dao Artifact and was one step behind Ming Waiyang. When would he ever be able to catch up with this monster?

As a classmate and club member, he deeply understood the weight of the words “child prodigy.” It was utterly exaggerated.

“I failed…”

Wu Xianzhang found nothing before him; there was no Merit Panel, and when he looked up at Yun Ye on the high platform, only bitterness remained.

The gap in talent, the gap in enlightenment.

Could he really not compare to him at all?

“Wu Xianzhang, Ming Waiyang’s talent is innate. We cannot aspire to it; we can only focus on doing our best in our own matters. I failed too; I didn’t even obtain the merit system, but I believe that as long as we keep moving forward, there will still be opportunities in the future. At the very least, we cannot let the gap widen!”

Tian Jialun gave Wu Xianzhang’s shoulder a reassuring pat.

“I know…”

Wu Xianzhang nodded, but such feelings of disappointment and unwillingness could not be eased by just a few words. He forced a smile, saying, “This is the time to use Waiyang’s comfort strategy.”

“If a person loses their competitive spirit, then their possibilities will stop here, and there will be no further chances to advance. Therefore…”

“We must absolutely not lose this feeling of unwillingness. We should embrace this unwillingness fully and use it to pursue the road ahead!”

The two spoke in unison, exchanging glances and breaking into smiles.

Their spirits relaxed in that shared laughter.

This was something Yun Ye often mentioned. He was indeed very strong, with a great possibility of defeating pursuers. To avoid that, he often dispensed motivational words.

However, this reflected Yun Ye’s genuine insights. His present self was rather laid-back, primarily living within his comfort zone, without any intention of stepping outside it.

It felt as if he were a fish trapped in a pond, content with the status quo, amusing himself by blowing bubbles.

This was certainly a way of life, but the premise was that there was no ambition whatsoever.

If one only half-believes they are a beautiful jade and thus refuses to associate with the ordinary, then accepting mediocrity becomes merely torture and a joke—it does not align with one’s true nature.

Yun Ye reflected on his past self and only saw a textbook case.

Fearing he was not beautiful jade, he was unwilling to put in the effort to chisel himself; yet half-believing he was beautiful jade, he refused to dwell with rubble, leading to his complete downfall.

As someone who has been through it, Yun Ye believed he lacked a sense of discontent in his current state. Strong desire is what drives a person forward, yet his past self had none of that, making it impossible for him to take action.

“Everyone, please come to the stage! You deserve the blessings of everyone and will surely become talents of great capability!”

More than seventy Merit Panel holders excitedly took the stage.

Yong Fa was the youngest among them.

When Yun Ye saw him approach, he felt a deep sense of awe.

That Yong Fa could awaken the Merit Panel showed that his willpower ranked at least in the top hundred among the hundred thousand people. Was this what they called hidden talent?

From his usual behavior, it was hard to imagine that Yong Fa possessed such unwavering beliefs.

Yong Fa noticed Yun Ye as well, but quickly turned away, showing a look of disdain.

Then, he spotted Qi Lian standing not far away and quickly straightened his posture.

In that brief moment, accompanied by a flash of light, this scene was forever captured.

In the photo, several 1st members stood in the back, their presence faint, while over seventy individuals, young and old, clustered together. The focal point of the image was the boy with the floating Dao Sword in front of him and the man beside him, who was smiling while smoothing the boy’s hair. Another boy next to the man fumbled nervously, trying to stand straight.

As this scene froze, everyone knew that the era of the Children of Tomorrow had arrived!

…

“The principle of Eternal Silence is to burn space with the Only Immortal Flame and to expand the area of effect with the Only Flow with the Current, creating space vibrations that engulf everything.”

“However, this is merely a simulation at best; it cannot be truly called space annihilation. To achieve a deeper level of Eternal Silence, we need to incorporate Spirit Law, using it to interfere with space and create true spatial burning, spatial annihilation, and destructive spatial diffusion.”

“This is Transforming Dark Eternal Silence, which possesses the powers of uniqueness, transformation, and triple fusion. Once completed, it will hold the power to obliterate everything.”

After the awakening ceremony concluded, Yun Ye was directly taken away by Yuexin.

As the inheritor of the Original Dao Artifact, Yuexin had no reason to hold back. She generously imparted decades of her research to him.

From principles to details, she described everything in extreme detail, helping Yun Ye grasp this power.

“Then, let’s begin.”

Yuexin activated the formation, creating an independent space capable of suppressing the power of Eternal Silence. “The Anti-God Array can disrupt the stability of Spirit Law or Transforming Spiritual Law, thereby rendering them ineffective.”

“This is a formation that every combat member must master. As long as you control the scale within a certain range, the Anti-God Array can suppress it.”

Yun Ye glanced at the large number of people operating the formations around him and nodded.

Although the people who had come to see him earlier used similar formations, their scale and level were completely different.

Yuexin’s skills in formations were extremely high, and with many people assisting her, it was beyond compare to a single person deploying the Anti-God Array.

Yun Ye stood at the center of the barrier, allowing the power of the formation to wrap around his body, reaching out his hand as three powers intertwined and collided in his palm.

Intricate spirit patterns constructed the model for Unique Spiritual Law: Transforming Dark Eternal Silence, instantly turning the three powers into one.

Ink-black cracks spread in his palm.

They were extremely small.

Fleeting.

Before Yun Ye even attempted to control it, it vanished directly.

He was momentarily stunned, unsure of what had happened, but Yuexin, who had been monitoring the situation with the True Heaven Instrument, spoke up: “I used highly intricate spirit patterns to control Eternal Silence, allowing its stability to leap forward in evolution, but this has also turned it into a power that requires ‘scale standards’ to activate.”

“Scale?” Yun Ye asked, confused.

“Yes, scale. It’s like a seesaw; it needs a certain weight to press down to launch the other end into the air. The greatly enhanced stability of Eternal Silence requires a certain scale to be initiated; otherwise, while the power doesn’t completely vanish, it diminishes very quickly, just like a seesaw that fails to launch.” Yuexin gave a vivid example.

With sufficient scale, he could violently launch “Eternal Silence,” creating a catapult effect.

Without scale, it was merely a seesaw, at most allowing “Eternal Silence” to roll down from the other end.

“Continue to enhance the scale, and what about this formation?” Yun Ye understood.

“The minimum fluctuation is acceptable, and there will be safety measures in place, so don’t worry,” Yuexin replied.

Yun Ye nodded and began experimenting again.

He constantly increased the scale, approaching the minimum size needed for Eternal Silence to form.

Thus, starting from the lightly ethereal small cracks, the cracks continued to spread, eventually revealing a Pure Black sphere at the core.

To be precise, it was not a sphere, just a hollow void with no substance in that area.

However, after the minimum scale of the spatial black hole appeared, the experiment did not succeed, for Yun Ye lost control the moment the black hole emerged, and the spatial destruction began to spread, threatening to obliterate everything—until he was enveloped by countless chains, which forcefully snuffed it out.

The Anti-God Array indeed demonstrated extraordinary effectiveness, being able to forcefully suppress Transforming Dark Eternal Silence.

“The destructive capacity of Transforming Dark Eternal Silence is too strong. The moment it is born, even with the spirit patterns I set to interfere, the usable time is only a brief moment. If Transforming Dark Eternal Silence cannot be utilized in that moment, this move will instead harm oneself, and that instant is almost in tune with the frequency of space, making it impossible for humans to perceive…”

“It lives up to its reputation as the Unique Transforming Triple Fusion Spiritual Law; these conditions are truly despairing.”

With this experiment concluded, after a full month of continuous calculations and repeated tests, Yuexin finally identified the problem, and the conclusion was not good.

“Fourth Seat, do you mean this move is not feasible?”

Yun Ye was extremely surprised.

Executing Transforming Dark Eternal Silence himself felt very difficult, but wasn’t it still possible to some extent? How could Yuexin’s optimization make it unusable in actual combat?

“In conclusion, yes. The human body cannot withstand Transforming Dark Eternal Silence; at least the law realms are needed to manage it. You are currently creating Transforming Dark Eternal Silence externally, but the true Spiritual Law… must be completed internally. Once it goes out of control, it will be self-destructive!”

Yuexin spoke lightly.

“…”

Yun Ye instantly broke into a cold sweat.

If Spiritual Law was to be applied in combat, it must indeed be completed with Spirit Essence Fusion internally; if any mistakes occurred during this period, it would mean certain doom!

He had attempted to fuse the Triple Attributes multiple times, and he couldn’t even manage to control the power externally, let alone internally!

If he tried to use it, his physical body would likely shatter, and the Anti-God Array wouldn’t come in time.

“Having Spiritual Roots and energy meridians inside amplifies power and increases stability, giving a higher Success Rate for Spiritual Law than external attempts, so any Spiritual Law is directly initiated internally.”

“However, while triggering Spiritual Law internally is quicker, stronger, and more precise, the tolerable risk is zero. Even a spiritual body cannot endure the energy exploding internally. When using Spiritual Law inside the body, it should be perfectly safe and able to avoid errors.”

“Controlling Transforming Dark Eternal Silence lasts only for one moment of spatial frequency. Even if you can truly control it, there wouldn’t be enough time for it to escape the body unless…”

“It is the law realms!”

Yun Ye’s eyes sparkled.

He also realized that the Great Transformation of Laws in the law realms could solve this problem!

The Great Transformation of Laws allows “law” to exist independently from the body, enabling a reckless surge of power without worry!

In addition to having magical power, what is fundamentally essential is indeed the Great Transformation of Laws!
