Martial Research Master

“If the realm was so easy to achieve, it wouldn’t be termed as the forbidden/ Unachievable realm. But one of our theories did come true. The Origin avatar art is truly miraculous. Each avatar was blessed with law symbols and energy. Although they have not yet set up a Law connection, they could freely use it.”

“You seem too relaxed for someone whose expectation didn’t come true.”

“This outcome was within my expectations. Even he didn’t manage to achieve that in a single try.”

“How did he achieve it then?” The Pill Hall Master was confused. Crimson Lords were a high-grade race of extreme cultivators. There were many instances of past hegemons connecting with the Chaotic Law realm. He thought that most of them managed to do that because of how talented they were.

“Are you thinking that Long Tao lack the talent of his predecessor who managed to connect with the Chaotic law realm? You are gravely mistaken in that area. I may have lied to the boy regarding my knowledge of the Chaotic Law realm, but I never lied about his accomplishments.”

“He is the most talented inheritor of this artifact to have ever existed.”

“Let’s not seat it. We both know that none of the inheritors before him were mortals. He doesn’t even have the luck to start on equal ground with them, not to speak, their talent.”

“That is the reason why I am confident about him becoming the strongest Crimson Lord ever. He started way below his predecessor and hence has way more room to improve upon. You will understand it once he reaches that level.” The Keeper didn’t mind the prejudice in Pill Hall master’s voice. It was justified given the current situation Long Tao was in.

.....

“I guess we could only wait. I will give it my very best to nurture him in the alchemy domain. Let’s hope he wouldn’t betray our expectations.”

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

The Water Heavenly Vision slowly appeared and began to bombard Li Meng’s body. He drowned in a pool of water element symbols, constantly pressuring his body into a paste. Li Meng clenched his teeth and began to comprehend the laws. He repeated the process of not absorbing the law energy, but feel and comprehend the mystery behind it.

The artifact continued to absorb the energy around him and mending its damages. The speed of recovery was quite astonishing and Long Tao couldn’t help but gasp in the surprise of how miraculous the whole energy was. He tried again and again to sense the barrier to the next realm, but a familiar experience repeated itself.

The energy just got stronger and stronger, yet he couldn’t even sense the end of it. It was just as if the world was pulling him back from sensing the barrier, which needed to be broken. He tried to improve his understanding of a higher realm. To his surprise, the last experience while connecting with the Thunder Law did help him to sustain for a longer period of time.

The sad news was that the time was still not enough to see the end of the Heavenly Law realm. Although he persisted for a way longer period, at the end of the day, his body wasn’t able to handle it. He had to compromise in the current situation and settle for a Heavenly Law base.

Another failure was achieved.

The same phenomenon repeated itself, and every single avatar was imbued with Law energy and their cultivation bases engraved with law runes. This phenomena was not only mysterious but might possess a huge significance during the Break-through of other avatars.

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

The old man was expectant when he saw that Li Meng managed to surpass his last record, but was soon disappointed by the result. He kept pumping in more and more resources to help in Li Meng’s Qi reserves, but the rate of input couldn’t sustain the expenditure.

Li Meng finally ended his trial by connecting with the water-elemental law base. He now possesses two Heavenly Law bases. Anywhere in the central plains, it would be considered monstrous, but Li Meng was not happy. He failed once again. He could feel his body’s fatigue. Although this wasn’t the end of the line, it was soon going to be reached.

A mortal body possessed certain limits no matter how hard one tried to refine it. He opened his eyes and signalled to the old man. The old man nodded his head and smiled. His latest disciple went for a third Heavenly Law base. He himself was someone who possessed two Heavenly laws. His disciples might just create a record today.

“Which element do you prefer to try this time?”

“Wind.” Li Meng answered. It’s time to try and comprehend the Wind element runes. His understanding of Heavenly Law level was increasing with every connection he established.

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

“The second Heavenly law has formally been established. We have another Thunder-child within our academy.” Many elders were overjoyed by this phenomenon. They were excited to get their hands on another capable inheritor for the academy. Just when the celebrations were about to begin, another Vision appeared.

“Just what is he trying to do?” A shocked voice asked around.

“He is trying to establish another Heavenly Law. From the looks of the vision, it is the Wind elemental law this time.”

Many shocked eyes watched as the vision was accompanied by catastrophic tornadoes pouring down on the tiny figure sitting in the middle of the formation. It tore through the skin and began to disperse Li Meng’s blood in the atmosphere. Wind energy was constantly pouring into this under-skin, tearing huge pieces of it. Each blow was like a sharp strike from the sword, piercing right through his defences and decimating his flesh.

He learnt a horde of lessons from the last two trials and hence applied all his experience in the break-through this time. He continued to bear the assault and understand the morphing of the constituent runes. The morph continues as time goes by and Li Meng’s knowledge of the Heavenly Law realm keeps on increasing.

The time spent within the law realm increased compared to the previous trial, but the boundary was still nowhere to be found.

“What if there is no Chaotic Law realm to search?” Long Tao asked the Keeper.

“There wouldn’t be any rumours about that realm if it actually didn’t exist.”

“It’s just a fake rumour spread by someone who decided to mess with the generations to come.” Long Tao protested against the idea.

“We have seen relics and ancient texts referring to that realm. It cannot be a false rumour. You just need to try hard enough to achieve it.” The Keeper insisted with a serious tone.

Long Tao was going to reply in a harsh tone when a realization dawned upon him. He looked at the Keeper with suspicious eyes.

“Something is bugging you boy?”

“I initially couldn’t understand why you were so knowledgeable about a realm which wasn’t achieved by any known personality of the history. You even knew the name of the realm. If it were just false rumours, you would have dismissed the idea until now, as I have already connected with three Heavenly laws, and am exhausted to go any further.”

“But you just keep insisting that the realm above does exist. That’s when it struck me. Your confidence is not based on some shallow ancient scripture crap. You have experienced someone in the past achieving that realm and hence are sure it exists. The only catch in the whole thing is, why wouldn’t you tell me the truth.”

“I remember confirming the fact that I might point out the path but would never interfere in it. The things that I can do tell you about would surface when you are strong enough to know them. As of now, you are still a non-existent insect in the martial world. Get your head right and focus on the barrier.”

“The realm you are trying to achieve is termed as Unsurpassable by many.”

“And since we are on the topic anyway, a realm above does exist and people have achieved it.” Long Tao wanted to confirm something, but the Keeper lifted his finger to point out silence. “Before you try to confirm your doubts, I will not tell you how to achieve it. That is a path you will have to walk on your own.”

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

Wind energy was rushing through his body as Li Meng finally established his third Heavenly Law. It was just then that he realized something. His body was no longer capable enough of sustaining the burden of another Heavenly Law. The burden was just too great.

It was time to switch for earthen Laws. He concentrated on the remaining elements on the Earthen level. After the connection with the other two elements, the first phase of Break-through finally came to an end.

“Its time to move on to the next phase. Consolidate your realm and accept the law blessing.” The old man was elated to have a disciple who connected with Three heavenly laws and two Earthen laws. He wanted to see how far the Law blessing could take Li Meng
