"Are you saying that another Saint has been born?!" A gray-haired middle-aged man uttered in amazement.
"I-I'm not sure..." Merlin replied awkwardly.
"What do you mean you're not sure? You just said that the light we sensed just now was a light that came from the cosmos!" The gray-haired man was in a state of confusion.
"That's right. Among all of us here, your powers of divination is the most reliable since you have excelled in that 'Law' as well. So how come you are contradicting yourself right now?" The black-haired woman spoke in displeasure.
"Well, it's because what happened is.. strange." Merlin said while he was seemingly pondering.
"Why?" Both curiously asked.
"You both all know that in order for a cultivator to become a Saint. He/She must comprehend a Primal Law, right?" Merlin spoke.
"Yes, that's how each of us here became a Saint." The woman nodded.
"Yes, but what does it have to do with what happened? You even said that this man/woman comprehended a Primoridial-level Law that's why he/she is able to incite the cosmic light. " The man asked.
"It has everything to do with it. Because normally when a cultivator comprehends a Law, the Law emits the strength of the Cultivator. But, it wasn't the case for this one. I could only sense the level of profoundness of the Law but not the level of the Cultivator!" Merlin revealed in cold sweat.
"What? But how is that possible? But... It could happen... If the cultivator is someone who is stronger than you and reached 'that' realm!" The woman shockingly said.
"That's right but there is also another possible reason..." Merlin added.
"It was a Law Fragment!" The man continued.
"Yes, if a treasure hunter or a tomb raider were to accidentally open a Saint-level or even stronger powerhouse Tomb or Manor, then the remaining law that is sealed in his body would release an energy that would reconnect it to the world." Merlin expounded.
"I-if that's true, then that Primoridial-level Law Fragment must be found immediately or else other powers from other states might also l.u.s.t for this treasure." The woman was alarmed.
"Let's not jump into conclusions just yet, Minerva. We must investigate this thoroughly." The man a.n.a.lyzed."
"Aiden is right. We must a.n.a.lyze this situation thoroughly and elaborate our approach to this matter." Merlin seconded Aiden's suggestion.
"Oh my, three of the four Tower Lords of the Mystical Magnate Tower is panicking because of a strange light. The simple solution is that if it is a tomb, then we raid it. If it is a person, we invite him. If he doesn't agree, we eliminate him and seize his 'Law' for ourselves. " A man who wielded a sword by his waist walked in the room. He was a das.h.i.+ng young man with fair complexion. But his most distinguishable feature was his brows. His brows zigzagged at the end of it forming a small "z" for each brow.
"Zorro, you finally decided to show up. The rules state that when a meeting starts, everyone must be here on or before the designated time!" Aiden raised his voice at the arrival of Zorro.
"Hm. Rules are dead and we are the living. Besides, you already know that it's not my style to follow things and I do what I want to do, whenever, wherever or whatever it may be. " Zorro smiled confidently.
This young man is one of the most popular figures of not only in the Mystic Red Cloud State but in the entire Mystical Clouds Country, Sword Saint Zorro! Being the youngest person to become a Saint in the entire state at the age of 35, he is renowned as Mystic Red Cloud State's Number one talent!
Besides being a Saint, he is also a Mystical Magnate who constructed his own school which is teaching cultivators who walk on the path of the sword. He has already manifested a school in each city of the Mystic Red Cloud State and even established his schools in other states with his connections. He had also recently become a Lord that gave him the qualifications to join the ranks of the Tower Lords at the age of 38!
The Tower Lords are known as the individuals whom have attained Saint Realm and the t.i.tle of Lord at the same time. They are the strongest experts of the Mystic Red Cloud State! Not only that, they are also businessmen/ businesswoman who have established brands that have branches all over the Mystical Clouds Country!
"You... Hmph!" Aiden snorted.
"Hahaha." Zorro laughed in response.
"Stop quarrelling you two. We have more important matters at hand!" Merlin reprimanded the two.
The two became silent and did not talk to each other since then. The meeting went on as Merlin discussed their possible course of actions they may take.
But as the light attracted them, it also attracted the top powers of all the states of the Mystical Clouds Country was also intrigued by these phenomenon.
At the Mystic Blue Cloud State...
A palace stood majestically on a giant lake. The palace did not float yet it strangely stood on the lake waters as though it was land. The lake was surrounded by beautiful and fascinating waterfalls which filled the lake of its pure, clean, glistening water. The water was so clear that you are able to see right through it and you can see sea creatures that act like the guardians of the palace.
Within the palace...
"Your Highness, we have detected a cosmic light that formed a law somewhere in the Mystic Red Cloud State. We are still uncertain whether it was from a newborn Saint or a Law Fragment of a former powerhouse but we are sure that it is a Primoridial-level Law!" A man dressed in n.o.ble seblue robe knelt and reported to the lady sitting at the throne.
"A Primoridial-level Law? Hmm, investigate further. Find the precise location. Then, report back to me." The lady spoke calmly. She wore a veil which covered her face but the contours of her face outlined her unparalleled beauty hidden in the veil. She wore a seblue dress that complimented her light-blue hair.
"Yes, your Highness." The man in seblue robe bowed as he left immediately.
As the man left, the lady spoke with wonder.
"Interesting." The lady smiled with her thoughts unknown.
At the Mystic Yellow Cloud State...
The same thing happened to a giant church situated at the center of the state capital.
"What? A Primoridial-level Law? Investigate this matter immediately! If we can get a hand on this law, then we might have the chance to save the Pope! This is the heavens' will!" A priest wearing his clerical vest ,which had the mark of a sun covered by the bright yellow cloud, ordered the one who reported the phenomenon that happened on the Mystic Red Cloud State.
In all of the states, similar incidents happened but for different purposes. Like in the Mystic Green Cloud State, the king of the top power, Jungle Hall, was shocked beyond belief that he fainted. When he awoke, he ordered his men to prepare for a full scale invasion because the Primordial-level law would be the key to his advancement to the realm above saints!
"My king, isn't it too rash to do so? It's just a law after all." The emissary that reported the appearance of the Primoridial-level Law/Law Fragment.
"Imbecile! You don't understand the value of such a treasure because you have yet to reach the Saint-level! A Primoridial-level Law is a law that towers all law! It's a type of law that only appears once in a ten-thousand year cycle! If I manage to integrate it to my law, then I will be invincible!" The king spoke in extreme hysteria. Then, he punched the emissary.
"I'm sorry, sir. I was so wrong. I will do as you command." The emissary said hurriedly as he ran when a man stopped him on his tracks.
"My king, I think it is best if you were to calm down first. I personally think that we should wait for the movements of the other powers before we make a move. Because it would be a waste of energy if we were to go there without ample preparations. So, I suggest that we send a small group of people to scout the Mystic Red Cloud State and investigate the matter. I'm guessing that this will also be the course of action of the other states since this is the safest route to investigate the matter without offending the Mystic Red Cloud State. Moreover, I think that the precise location of the Law is still unknown because according to the divination, the light only appeared for a split second then vanished at the next. The precise coordinates is unknown and I antic.i.p.ate it will stay as it is because the duration of phenomenon was too short for us to infer where the law truly is and I also antic.i.p.ate that the same will go for other states because not even Merlin can be that G.o.d-like to determine its precise location." The man suggested as he waved his fan with his right hand and held the emissary by his left.
"Ugh, I guess you're right. I was too rash. I'm glad I had you as my chancellor or else I would have done so many mistakes already. Hey, emissary, just inform the soldiers to train as twice as hard. That's all. You're dismissed." The King calmed himself down after hearing his chancellor's advice.
"Yes, sir." The emissary departed immediately after he was released.
"So what will be your moves?" The Chancellor looked at the sky and wondered.
In Mystic Red Cloud State...
At the middle of the forest near the destroyed Soaring Cloud City, Dylan still sat cross-legged in the small piece of land in the middle of the lake. Not knowing what commotion, he just made he continued in his retreat. How would all those powers antic.i.p.ate that the reason why they were unable to detect his strength was because Dylan was currently a cripple who had his Cultivation Base destroyed? If they knew, they would like out blood, for being too careful and meticulous about their plans.
In his mindscape...
Dylan was still bathed by the light that came from the cosmos. When he opened his eyes, he was shocked that everything felt different than it was before. Everything was more vivid and clearer. He did not know why.
But, what truly shocked him the most was the thing in front of him right now. It was the Cosmic G.o.d Manual. But this time, he was able to finally read the text within. When he read the cover, it said this [Cosmic G.o.d's Business of Galaxies - First Volume]!
"First Volume? So it seems that the Cosmic G.o.d Manual has several more volumes to offer." Dylan inspected the book and he discovered that the first volume was only 40 pages. The table of contents were still the same but the text of the book is now readable to Dylan.
"Finally, I am able to read it! So it seems like my a.s.sumptions was right that I have to be stronger either in cultivation or comprehension, in order to fully be able to read the text of the book." Dylan was happy as he was able to prove his theory on the mansion yet again.
"Okay, now to read the first chapter. Chapter 1- The Legendary Core. The Legendary Core is a type of Spirit Core that is far more superior than a Spirit Core because it's energy reserves is nearly 5 times as much as that of a Spirit Core. It is also a type of Spirit Core that would refine the spirit energy that the user has absorbed into a uniform spirit energy without impurities and directly fortifying the cultivation base of its user. Cultivating this core will ensure that the user will never be subjected to the threat of Cultvation Deviation." Dylan was trembling as he read the description. This type of spirit core is truly defying the heavens . But what came next made Dylan's face turn absolutely white.
"Procedure: To attain the Legendary Core, a Cultivator must undergo 10 cycles of destroying his/her own spirit core." That statement made Dylan's heart waver.
He already experienced the feeling of having one's Spirit Core to be destroyed once and it was excruciatingly painful. Now he had to do it nine times more? The pain acc.u.mulated from the repeated destruction of his Spirit Core made Dylan feel how nearly impossible this task is. Just once was enough to madden any normal person. Ten times? Dylan felt s.h.i.+vers down his spine when he imagined it again.
Feeling slightly terrified, he read the next chapter.
"I hope that this chapter won't be as terrifying as the other one. Chapter 2- Cultivating the Ancestral Veins. The Ancestral Veins are not Spirit Veins. Huh?" Dylan was dumbfounded when he read the first line.
"This book must be kidding me, right?" Dylan bitterly thought. But he still decided to continue.
"Dictated by the heavens, a cultivator is only given 125 spirit veins. Thus, creating the Spirit Veins System. But, this doesn't apply to the Ancestral Veins or the Ancestral Veins System. It allows the cultivator to cultivate double the number of veins than the Spirit Veins System. Since in the Ancestral Veins System a person can cultivate 250 veins which is double the Spirit Veins System number, it also allows the user to cultivate two Avatars at the same time." Dylan became more flabbergasted with the next chapter.
Because if everything stated here are true, then it means while at 11th level Awakened Spirit Realm, he will be able to completely dominate the entire Spirit Gathering Realm! But, like the first chapter, the procedure of the chapter made him terrified even more.
"Procedure: To obtain the Ancestral Veins System, one must be able to create 250 spirit veins. After creation, detonating one vein at a time would create a chain reaction that would make it evolve into an Ancestral Veins once restored." Dylan could do the first half because of the Centurial Stones but the other half made Dylan terrified. Detonating one vein at a time? That would almost a.s.suringly lead to insanity. This made him stop reading the book any further.
"Was my master really that m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic?" He couldn't help but curse his master for making such a nigh impossible Cultivation Manual that would lead most people insane from cultivating it.
"No pain, no gain! Like all MCs that suffered greatly in order to achieve their OP Strength I must also do this! Although it is extreme, there is no shortcut to the way to the apex! I also have to gather the materials needed to cultivate the Legendary Core and the Ancestral Veins" Dylan strengthened his resolve as he encouraged himself.
He used the method to restore the Spirit Core to be able to recover his Cultivation Base! After 6 hours of following the method, he was finally able to restore his former Strength!
"Great! I have finally regained my strength! It's time to exit this world!" Dylan rejoiced as his consciousness went back to his body and he was finally able to feel his Spirit Core and Spirit Veins again!
He tried to meditate to recover some strength but he discovered that he can't refine the natural energy around him again.
"Just what is wrong with my body? It is due to this that the previous Dylan was not able to cultivate pa.s.s Initial 2nd level Spirit Core. My body has been rejecting the natural energy of this world since I reached Initial 2nd level Spirit Core. Thank the Heavens, that I have the Cosmic G.o.d Mansion who awards me with Primal Stones for my business if not I would have been a waste." Dylan felt abysmal since he can't cultivate like normal people. His Cultivation is reliant on the Primal Stones and Deca Stones that the Cosmic G.o.d Mansion awards him.
"I must find out what is wrong with my body! In order to bring justice to my fallen counterpart!" Dylan pledged as he left the lake with a leap and headed straight to his employees.
