Chapter 391: Great Law · Second Transformation

Yun Ye exhaled a breath of white mist, and his life magical power surged within him.

Boom!

A white star ring expanded, bursting forth from his secluded space, spreading for dozens of miles while devouring all spirit energy in its path and directly transforming it into life force.

“What is this?”

“He’s advancing to the law realms!”

Many people looked over, their faces filled with amazement.

Above the palace, columns of spirit energy stood tall. Although they weren’t as impressive as the Twelve Great Formations of Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, they still showcased a high concentration of spirit energy.

These columns were cloaked in star rings, and vast quantities of spirit energy transformed into dragon-like wisps, being drawn into the star rings. The spirit energy inside the rings quickly filled, eventually condensing and returning to the palace below.

“Boom!”

An incredible aura covered dozens of miles. Even though no one was visible, all the cultivators guarding near the palace felt as if they were in the wild, witnessing an unmatched giant beast roar.

They involuntarily stepped back a few paces, having to activate their Spiritual Laws to withstand this terrifying momentum.

“The chief is getting stronger; just his momentum alone has drained my will to fight!”

One cultivator chuckled bitterly.

“This is the chief. If he weren’t powerful, how could he maintain the peace of Tomorrow Nation against the Luo Dynasty’s assaults? I’m really looking forward to the day when the chief achieves the Three Major Techniques. With his talent and ability, that means four hundred years of peace!”

Another cultivator said with a smile.

The vast majority nodded in agreement; the stronger the chief became, the better it was. In Tomorrow Nation, the idea of respect for power didn’t really apply.

They well understood that the order of Tomorrow was built on the sacrifices of these strong opponents; they could do nothing but worship these individuals. If they had to assume their roles, it felt utterly impossible just to think about!

“Ha~~”

A young boy yawned and opened his eyes, his unique U-shaped spiritual pupils scanning the crowd. He leaned against a tree with his hand at the back of his head, saying, “Just focus on your duties. This is one of the areas where spirit energy is most abundant; you don’t really think you’re here to guard the chief, do you?”

“…Well, that’s true; the chief probably doesn’t need our protection.” The crowd chuckled awkwardly, ceasing their chatter, with half continuing to guard and half practicing their Spiritual Laws.

Yong Fa looked up at the star rings appearing now and then in the sky, feeling increasingly stressed. He muttered to himself, “The Physical Law of law realms has gotten ahead of me. It seems my mom was right; to surpass Ming Waiyang, I can only evolve my physique. However, Tomorrow Society currently lacks the means to obtain precious medicines and treasures.”

It was true that Tomorrow Society had confiscated a vast number of treasures and medicines, but these belonged to an old era and didn’t match the needs of Tomorrow Society at all.

Tomorrow Society’s techniques were all Extreme Spiritual, but the two sects didn’t have any extreme medicines or extreme treasures.

As for remaking them, it required law realm cultivators to forge them, and they must have the corresponding Spiritual Roots; otherwise, their power would greatly diminish.

It was impossible to casually have someone let Yuexin use the Force of Freedom to simulate various attributes, was it?

As the core force guarding Tomorrow Society’s safety, such an approach was untenable.

Thus, Tomorrow Society had to follow the old path of the two sects. They would let a portion of people advance using ordinary precious medicines and treasures, and then they would forge the corresponding high-level treasures. This cycle would gradually improve quality, generation by generation.

Since all knowledge within Tomorrow Society was open, the number of cycles would be considerably fewer than that of the two sects, but the first batch of cultivators would definitely have flaws.

Fortunately, this batch consisted of crafting experts who did not focus much on combat power, so ordinary advancements weren’t an issue; the challenge lay in future ascension to the Mystic Realm.

And the Mystic Realm…

Yun Ye might not even succeed in advancing, let alone others; Tomorrow Society could not afford to waste resources on this in the early stages.

……

“The Great Transformation of Laws feels like this?!”

Yun Ye looked within himself and saw that a void opened in his abdomen, suppressed by an ancient bell with red patterns spreading outside the void.

In the dark void, the red river of life magical power flowed around the entire space.

Yun Ye directed the life power transformed from the star ring into this void, and as it merged into the river, the life power continuously compressed and optimized with the river’s flow, eventually assimilating into higher quality magical power. This red river grew stronger every moment, gradually filling the entire void.

From the time they reached the law realms, cultivators basically no longer feared the depletion of spirit energy or their lifespan, as their physical bodies had undergone a significant evolutionary leap.

At this stage, cultivators obtained a complete form of spiritual body, allowing them to freely convert spirit energy into power, completely detaching from the mundane world.

The body of law realms is flawless and pure, capable of swallowing spirit energy to survive while experiencing qualitative changes in every aspect.

Originally, controlling Spiritual Roots, life force, and Spirit Sense had some barriers; however, after reaching the law realms, the body became transparent, spirit combined with flesh, and mind merged with spirit, removing all obstacles.

Several days later, Yun Ye opened his eyes.

Although life force is endless as long as there is spirit energy, converting to higher-level magical power is not simple.

His foundation in the Nine Lives Spirit Law was already exceptional, but filling his magical power would take at least nine days, even under conditions of abundant spirit energy; if spirit energy were lacking, the time required would increase significantly.

No wonder the law realms in Baishi Town remained hesitant and reluctant to exert their full strength. For these minor local law realms, depleting magical power meant they would experience a low period of strength for a long while—a significant risk.

In contrast, Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect had various treasures, spirit pills, and talismans at their disposal. They did not rely entirely on magical power, and with plenty of spirit energy, they were not overly concerned about magical power consumption. Only when advancing to the Mystic Realm, where spirit energy requirements surged, did they need to rely on spirit veins for battles.

“At present, my core Physical Law has only the Great Life Burial technique. The Great Transformation of Laws is indeed full of challenges in achieving the nine transformations…”

Yun Ye activated the Great Life Law, and the red river in his inner void flowed rapidly, transforming into a red ring that burst forth with astonishing brilliance in the void.

Boom!

The internal void tore apart, and the space of the red river became the outer layer, while a new inner void was born, like a millstone. The two layers of void rotated like gears, further compressing the magical power in the cracks.

“Great Transformation of Laws!”

Yun Ye completed his advancement.

The foundation of the laws in the law realms centers on the Great Transformation of Laws. When this great law completes its nine cycles, it can elevate the quality of one’s magical power to 256 times that of the first transformation.

However, regardless of how much magical power one had at the first transformation, it remains the same at the ninth transformation; the total amount does not change.

When using the powerful Nine Transformations technique, cultivators often need to consider whether their magical power can support it.

The initial amount of magical power depends on the quality of precious medicines and support objects. Yun Ye advanced to the second transformation even before fully cultivating his magical power. It is easy to imagine how advantageous a perfect advancement is; for ordinary cultivators, breaking through in cultivation is notably challenging, and insufficient magical power is a problem, but for Yun Ye, it posed no issues.

Yun Ye continued to stay in solitude to accumulate magical power.

The outer void gradually filled with magical power, and the dark void was completely stained red. From an internal perspective, it appeared as a red ring.

This is the star ring of the law realms; each contains the essence of the Great Life Burial Physical Law, greatly enhancing attacks. Reaching nine transformations would result in nine rings.

“Once my magical power overflows, it will continuously expand my nine transformation foundation. Continuing to cultivate requires the laws of the law realms; otherwise, it would be too unstable.”

Yun Ye spoke to himself.

He completed the second transformation due to his deep accumulation. The first few transformations would be relatively simple, but the difficulty would soar afterward; otherwise, those talented individuals wouldn’t take decades or even over a hundred years to complete the nine transformations and reach the pinnacle of law realms.

The nine transformations are like a tall building, requiring a stable structure; if built haphazardly, it will eventually collapse.

The Great Life Burial is the foundational great law Yun Ye obtained after advancing to the law realms, intertwining with the spiritual body and the essence of the heart.

The Great Life Burial serves as the cornerstone of the great law, but with the evolution from Spiritual Law to Great Law, the essence of the Great Life Burial has slightly changed.

This isn’t a shift in power but in form.

The Great Transformation of Laws is not merely a simple stacking of power; it is an incremental elevation of form, entering a higher level.

If this cannot be achieved…

The path to the Mystic Realm is severed!

So before completing the Great Transformation of Laws, Yun Ye needs to explore a method sufficient to elevate to Mystic Heaven. Otherwise, random cultivation might even lead to the nine transformation path becoming a dead end, let alone advancing to the Mystic Realm.

For this part, Yun Ye searched through the records of the two sects and used the Nine Lives Spirit Law Classics as a reference. He already had a clear idea and just needed to verify whether it was feasible and then perfect it.

……

“What a joyous occasion! The chief has advanced to the law realms; does this not mean that the law realms will no longer be a barrier?!”

“Wait, right now we have not completely conquered the challenges of the spiritual realm; it is still too early for the law realms. However… it is indeed a joyous occasion. Even if we cannot universalize it, there will surely be a few talented individuals who can navigate it. The situation is being opened up!”

“Tomorrow Society is truly filled with countless talented people; they have allowed him to complete the chief’s requirement for a perfect advancement so quickly!”

“No, I heard that the chief unexpectedly obtained a matching precious medicine while hunting demons, which provided the opportunity for the perfect advancement. As for the internal research on precious medicines within Tomorrow Society, it seems there hasn’t been much progress!”

“Hahaha, who cares! The chief has advanced to the law realms, which means a full four hundred years of lifespan—that is what matters most!”

News of Yun Ye’s advancement to the law realms spread nationwide, and the people rejoiced.

What they cared about most was not power but the increase in lifespan.

Even if Yun Ye aged, he would at least live for another one or two hundred years, right? For these ordinary beings, that meant a lifetime!

Just thinking about being able to live in a stable environment like Tomorrow Nation for a hundred years, even if they could not achieve immortality, would satisfy them!

How could this not be considered a joyous occasion?

However, it was only the ordinary citizens who were more joyful than worried; the upper echelons of Tomorrow Society largely understood that the situation of Tomorrow Nation was not great.

The mere achievements dependent on chance could not change anything. Unless they could produce spirit realms in bulk, allowing the average cultivation level to soar, the Luo Dynasty would always be a significant threat capable of toppling Tomorrow Nation.

Many even believed that even if they could produce spirit realms in bulk, it was overly optimistic. Can formations truly make up for individual power disparities?

Any cultivator who had witnessed a battle at the Mystic Realm fell silent.
