Chapter 259: The vision of laws

"Even law energy could help the artifact heal its damage." Long Tao was surprised to see this phenomenon.

"Law energy is the very representation of pure energy which constitutes the world. It is one of the most ethereal forms of natural energy and hence could easily help in mending the damage on the artifact. The only thing which differs for the cases we will see ahead is that the quality of law also determines the energy contained within it.

"Human laws as you saw, could only work slowly. Earthen laws are the reason where the visible effects could be seen prominently. Once you enter the realm of Heavenly laws, the quality of energy would be high enough that multiple damages could be healed at the same time."

"According to your theory, the energy which is formed during the break-through is a supplement for me which could help in raising my cultivation level and consolidating my foundation. In that case, the artifact is hoarding my energy and utilizing it for mending its damages."

"There is so much that you don't know about the basics of law energy eruptions. What you are doing is summoning the law energy from this world. Now you are going to be benefitted by it regardless of the interference by secondary objects like the artifact. Even when you didn't connect with the human or earthen laws, the artifact still absorbed them."

"A single being of your level has a limit for the law energy it could absorb in a single go. The rest of the energy is just conjured and then disperses into the world. The artifact is absorbing residual energy from the environment, without hindering your progress. In every single break-through, your avatars are going to go through, the artifact is going to absorb the residual energy."

"Could it undergo an upgrade due to the law energy?" Long Tao was expectant for the mending of the artifact.

"It is bound to go through multiple changes. The amount of energy which the earthen law is supplying is quite good. Heavenly laws are going to be even more terrifying. Who knows if we may see a huge transformation in the level of the artifact?"

"It could directly jump from Emperor grade artifact to a yellow tier artifact, which could only be possessed by a Qi Monarch or higher-level martial artist." The news filled Long Tao with elation. An upgrade such as that would come with a horde of benefits which would help him pace up his cultivation.

"What about Chaotic laws?"

"If you actually manage to step into that stage, and it is according to the assumption we made, the artifact is going to upgrade multiple times, even reaching the peak of Yellow tier. You wouldn't need to fear walking through the nearby forces after that. There might also be some serious additions during this upgrade."

"Aren't the classification of weapons the same as the Qi levels?"

"It is until the emperor's level. Above the Emperor level, there are three more stages. Yellow, Mystic and Legendary."

"What is above the level of legendary?"

"Something which transcends this world itself, and hence is none of your concern as of now. Concentrate on your break-through. I could feel the Heavenly law vision approaching." The keeper warned in a stern tone.

"What is Heavenly Law vision?" This was an unfamiliar term to Long Tao.

"You will see." The Keeper smiled.

Outside the world, Thunder Academy-

Li Meng was sitting amid the endless hordes of earthen law symbols, all of them possessing a spark. When he finally managed to break through the barrier of Earthen-Laws, the sky above began to change. Endless clouds began to emerge out of nowhere, sparkling with thick lines of thunder.

"The Law vision is presenting itself. Another genius is being born within the academy, connecting with the Heavenly law of Thunder." One of the elders outside the seclusion area spoke up.

Thunder energy soon gathered within the clouds and began to coagulate into thicker groups. The atmosphere began to change, and in front of the expectant eyes of experts, the first line of thunder fell, directly assaulting Li Meng's body. 

At first, it was quite painful, burning the outer skin to black char, but Li Meng soon adjusted himself to the power levels. He couldn't absorb this energy as it would lead to the establishment of Heavenly Thunder laws. He needed to sustain himself through the process to enter that realm."

Multiple lightning lines blasted Li Meng's body, yet he didn't flinch.

"You need to sustain yourself through this temptation. Connecting with the Heavenly Thunder law is quite easy for you now. Sustain through the process, and you might be able to break-through that door." The old man was blabbering to himself.

Thunder energy was assaulting Li Meng's body, and yet he was not even absorbing a little bit of it. The artifact on the other hand was devouring the lightning wave up. The damage was healing up fast. Heavenly law energy was quite abundant. The energy reserves of Li Meng's body were clearly depleting and the old man was constantly directing the three men to pour more resources into the formation.

The assault continued and thunder energy was all over the place. Li Meng managed to grasp the sensation of the Heavenly laws but he still couldn't feel the Chaos law realm. He continued to comprehend the law energy but didn't absorb any of it. The phenomena continued on and on.

This very phenomenon was called the vision of Law. It enables a practitioner to directly experience the power of any particular law energy and comprehend it. The vision of Laws lasts as long as the practitioner can bear the bombardment of energy. His body was being continuously blasted and healed. An absurd refinement was taking place, yet he was nowhere close to a breakthrough.

After a long period of time, he finally managed to understand the very essence of Heavenly Thunder law, and began impacting the higher level. But what remains ahead of him is a broken road. No matter how much energy he absorbed and expended, he couldn't feel the door to that realm.

He continued his comprehension amid the law break-out. He finally understood what the Pill-sword saint meant by his words. He could feel that he was being chained down by a force, incapable of moving forward.

The energy of Thunder became more and more violent, yet he wasn't able to surpass the Heavenly Law level. Finally, the moment his body could no longer hold arrived and Li meng had to give up. This was the first try, and it ended in a failure, but he did get a comprehension of the path he wanted to take.

He finally decided to connect with the Heavenly Thunder law at its most violent stage and consolidated the law establishment within his body. He officially established the first heavenly law and stepped within the Qi King realm. Although the Old man was a bit disappointed, he continued to provide the required energy to him.

After the law was established, an immense amount of Thunder energy directly poured into the body of Li Meng and even began to directly enter the Crimson lord artifact. Each avatar of Li Meng experienced the establishment of mysterious law energy within their body and was blessed.

This was a unique feeling for Li Meng. Although his avatar was not technically I Qi King level, their Qi bases had already upgraded to that level.

................

"I expected this to happen. Just what is the mystery behind the Origin Avatar art? Who created such a miraculous technique? One is sure to enter the very peak of martial comprehension with this art." The Keeper said to himself.

"So, the avatars are not technically at the Qi King level, but their Qi bases do get increased by the Thunder blessing." If this continued for every Heavenly Law he connected with, just what sort of power level would eh have reached by the time all avatars had broken-through.

...............….

"Prepare the next set of resources. He is going to try and connect with the Water element now." The old man didn't lose sight of their objective. The familiar process repeated itself. 

"He is going to establish his second Heavenly Law. A genius for sure." Many elders were shocked by the scene. The second law which Li Meng chose to try out was water. Another set of clouds began to gather around the altar. Huge droplets of water began to coagulate within the atmosphere, and it soon began to pour upon the figure sitting below.

The pressure exerted by the water droplets was humongous. While the Thunder lines were charring him up, the water-energy was trying to crush and drown him. He gained some comprehension regarding the level above Heavenly laws. It was time to experiment with the various thesis he formulated.

The second law was being comprehended, and Li Meng once again tried to feel the realm above. It wasn't long before he was left dismayed once again. The realm wasn't even vaguely visible from his perspective.

"Just what am I doing wrong in here?" This was the biggest doubt of Li Meng's.
