Creating Heavenly Laws
Chapter Summary
The consciousness of the Jade Immortal, who had entered Lin Yuan's mind world in high spirits, did not immediately notice the boundless nature of this realm. Only the supreme Dao Ancestors of the thirty-three immortal domains might have soul's willpower of this magnitude. “It’s said each immortal city in the thirty-three immortal domains was created by the Dao Ancestor, who connected them to the Immortal Realm’s source, allowing residents to feel the Dao’s dense presence,” Lin Yuan thought.
The Mind World is boundless and infinite.
This is the domain of the soul's willpower.
It can be extremely small or vast beyond measure, depending on the strength of one's soul's will.
The mind world of an ordinary mortal might be as narrow as a thatched hut.
The stronger the soul's will, the more expansive the corresponding mind world becomes.
The consciousness of the Jade Immortal, who had entered Lin Yuan's mind world in high spirits, did not immediately notice the boundless nature of this realm.
All of its attention was focused on the towering figure sitting cross-legged at the center of Lin Yuan's mind world.
"Is this the soul's will?
"The Jade Immortal’s consciousness froze, staring blankly.
As a former Rank Eleven Jade Immortal, though his true form had perished, his knowledge and understanding remained, and the essence of his soul's willpower had not weakened much.
However, compared to the colossal figure before him, he felt utterly insignificant.
The Jade Immortal’s consciousness had encountered many Jade Immortals of similar rank.
Their soul's wills might differ slightly but were generally comparable.
Anyone who could cultivate to the Jade Immortal level typically had a robust soul's will.
“Am I attempting to seize the body of a Dao Ancestor?
”The Jade Immortal’s consciousness couldn’t help but entertain this thought.
Such terrifying soul's willpower was something no Jade Immortal could possess.
Only the supreme Dao Ancestors of the thirty-three immortal domains might have soul's willpower of this magnitude.
“Hm?
”Lin Yuan’s soul’s will opened its eyes and looked down at the minuscule Jade Immortal’s consciousness.
In the mind world, the only thing one could rely on was the strength of their soul's will, akin to the essence of life reflected in the river of time.
Lin Yuan’s soul’s willpower measured over thirty-three million points.
Even at the ultimate twelfth rank, it was considered formidable.
Naturally, it was incomparable to the mere Rank Eleven Jade Immortal.
In fact, with Lin Yuan’s strength, he had detected the intrusion of the Jade Immortal’s consciousness the moment he touched the purple jade slip.
The Jade Immortal’s intent had swept forth, spreading along his probing spirit.
Lin Yuan could have stopped it then.
However, upon realizing that the Jade Immortal’s target was his soul’s will, Lin Yuan decided not to intervene.
The mind world was Lin Yuan’s domain.
With the strength of his soul’s will, even the soul's will of a twelfth-rank Dao Ancestor would likely fail to achieve anything here.
The Jade Immortal’s consciousness invading Lin Yuan’s mind world was akin to meat willingly jumping onto a chopping board.
Lin Yuan naturally would not refuse.
Though the Jade Immortal’s consciousness originated from a formidable Jade Immortal, Lin Yuan’s current power had not fully recovered.
Dealing with this consciousness required some effort.
Living in the Immortal Realm, Lin Yuan did not plan to expose his true soul’s will, which might attract the attention of the Dao Ancestor.
But if the intruder had entered his mind world, there was no risk of exposure.
“No, you are not a Dao Ancestor.
”The Jade Immortal’s consciousness began to recover from its initial shock.
He had once listened to the Dao Ancestor’s teachings and could discern the unique aura of a immortal Dao Ancestor.
The aura emitted by Lin Yuan’s soul’s will was completely different.
Moreover, if Lin Yuan were truly a Dao Ancestor, would he have allowed this intrusion into his mind world?
With the immense power wielded by a Dao Ancestor, a mere thought would have been enough to obliterate him.
However, before the Jade Immortal’s consciousness could think further, everything around it began to plunge into darkness.
“I’m not very familiar with the Immortal Realm,” Lin Yuan said, a smile forming on his face.
He suppressed the Jade Immortal’s consciousness and began to extract its memories.
Although he had already received the memories of the body’s original owner, ‘Gao Wuyou,’ as well as ‘Wu Xiangyan,’ both were merely Tribulation stage experts.
Their knowledge of the deeper and higher layers of the Immortal Realm was limited.
The memories of this Jade Immortal consciousness would be far more valuable.
At Rank Eleven, a Jade Immortal was already considered one of the strongest beings in this Immortal Realm.
After dozens of breaths, Lin Yuan had thoroughly reviewed the Jade Immortal’s memories.
“The Immortal Realm?
The Abyss of Demons?
”Lin Yuan’s expression turned contemplative.
The memories of the original body ‘Gao Wuyou’ included some information about the Abyss of Demons.
The demonic creatures within were mortal enemies of all immortals.
Any immortal encountering such creatures was duty-bound to destroy them.
The Jade Immortal’s memories offered a more detailed understanding of the Abyss of Demons.
The Abyss of Demons was the other side of the Immortal Realm and the resting place of the Abyssal Ancestor.
The countless demonic creatures were merely condensed manifestations of the demonic aura emanating from the slumbering Abyssal Ancestor.
Conflicts between the Immortal Realm and the Abyss of Demons were constant.
Every few million or tens of millions of years, the Abyssal Ancestor would partially awaken, unleashing a frenzy of demonic invasions into the Immortal Realm.
Many Golden Immortals and Jade Immortals would engage in fierce battles against these creatures.
The Jade Immortal’s consciousness was named ‘Yun Zhenzi,’ whose true form perished nine million years ago in a immortal-demonic war.
For a being of Yun Zhenzi’s level, preparations for survival and revival were made long before death.
The revival consciousness within the purple jade slip was one such method.
Once touched, the consciousness inside would be triggered, attempting to seize the body of the living being who activated it.
Yun Zhenzi had meticulously prepared numerous resources for his revival, intending to regain his peak swiftly once he took over a new body.
Unfortunately, he had chosen the wrong person.
“The most terrifying aspect of demonic creatures lies not in their strength but in their corruption,” Lin Yuan thought, his expression slightly serious.
Even Jade Immortals risked corruption when battling creatures of equivalent rank.
This corruption affected memory and soul.
In reality, Yun Zhenzi had arranged more than just the purple jade slip as a revival method.
He had also crafted numerous life pools and life stones, reviving his consciousness upon his true form’s death.
However, those synchronized revivals had all been contaminated by the demonic corruption.
Only the purple jade slip, isolated from external influences and memories, escaped unscathed, relying on external activation to awaken.
“The Abyssal Ancestor?
” Lin Yuan pondered.
His senses, attuned to his current realm, had long detected the twelfth-rank entity in the depths of the Abyss of Demons.
The sheer terror it inspired was beyond expectation.
“But the corruption of demonic creatures shouldn’t pose a threat to me.
”The so-called corruption could be resisted with sufficiently strong soul’s willpower.
Lin Yuan’s willpower was undoubtedly sufficient.
Even the Abyssal Ancestor’s corruption would fail to affect him.
“Originally, I planned to find a secluded place to cultivate, but it seems unnecessary now.
”Sorting through Yun Zhenzi’s memories, Lin Yuan quickly made a decision.
As a Jade Immortal, Yun Zhenzi had numerous estates and caves in various immortal cities within the thirty-three immortal domains.
The nearest, in ‘Cangwu’ immortal City, included an A-rank cave.
A-rank caves were the best in Cangwu immortal City, offering safety and significant benefits for comprehending the Dao.
Holding Yun Zhenzi’s consciousness, which was essentially Yun Zhenzi himself, Lin Yuan could claim ownership of the A-rank cave at any time.
As for whether the cave had been reclaimed after Yun Zhenzi’s demise?
Every immortal city’s caves technically belonged to the city.
Even a purchaser like Yun Zhenzi only held a billion-year lease.
Yun Zhenzi’s purchase had occurred less than twenty million years ago, far from the lease’s expiration.
The immortal cities, under the Dao Ancestor’s authority, strictly adhered to their rules, ensuring no premature reclamation.
The reliability of this system deterred reckless actions, as even top Golden and Jade Immortals would object to unjust cave reclamations.
“Cangwu immortal City?
”Lin Yuan gazed in its direction.
As one of the fifteen major immortal cities in the Xuantian immortal Domain, Cangwu immortal City was a place the original owner, Gao Wuyou, had dreamed of living in.
The city was not only safe from demonic creatures but also provided an environment conducive to cultivation.
Even its streets were filled with the dense aura of the Dao’s rules.
However, without a fixed cave in the city, one had to pay daily fees to stay there.
Over centuries or millennia, this became unaffordable for most, including Tribulation stage experts.
Purchasing a cave was an immense expense, with even the lowest-grade D-rank caves far beyond the means of most.
Yun Zhenzi had spent a painful amount of resources acquiring the A-rank cave in Cangwu immortal City.
As a powerful Jade Immortal, he had been overwhelmed by ten demonic creatures of similar rank, leading to his downfall.
Despite his precautions, Yun Zhenzi’s revival methods had been thwarted by Lin Yuan’s extraordinary abilities.
“I’ll first refine my avatar, then send it to Cangwu immortal City to claim the A-rank cave.
”Lin Yuan decided.
The cave’s benefits for comprehending the Dao were well worth the effort.
If successful, it would provide an ideal environment for cultivation.
Time passed swiftly.
Half a month later.
“The Yin and Yang emerge.
”Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, and two ethereal figures materialized from within him.
They were his Yin and Yang Primordial Spirits.
During this time, Lin Yuan had forcibly transformed the original body’s immortal foundation into a martial foundation, condensing these two Primordial Spirits.
With these formations, Lin Yuan gained flexibility in his actions, avoiding the need to handle everything personally.
Unlike soul clones, which were easily identified, Primordial Spirits were distinct and effective.
“Take Yun Zhenzi’s consciousness to Cangwu immortal City,” Lin Yuan instructed the Yang Primordial Spirit.
Sending the Yang Primordial Spirit ensured caution.
Yun Zhenzi’s cave, though unlikely to pose issues, warranted prudence.
Even if unexpected complications arose, losing a Primordial Spirit was a minor setback.
If successful, the Yang Primordial Spirit would occupy the A-rank cave, its benefits directly resonating with Lin Yuan’s true form.
With this plan in place, Lin Yuan sent the Yang Primordial Spirit on its way.
In the immortal sky, the Yang Primordial Spirit rapidly traversed the void toward Cangwu immortal City.
Lin Yuan’s mastery of time and space allowed it to reach the city in mere breaths, a journey that would have taken years for Gao Wuyou.
Upon arriving, the Yang Primordial Spirit gazed at the immense city.
Cangwu immortal City was like a vast world, its walls stretching billions of miles high.
Ancient and mysterious, its aura inspired awe, even among Jade Immortals.
“It’s said each immortal city in the thirty-three immortal domains was created by the Dao Ancestor, who connected them to the Immortal Realm’s source, allowing residents to feel the Dao’s dense presence,” Lin Yuan thought.
This unique environment was why so many immortals longed to reside in immortal cities.
“Let’s enter.
”The Yang Primordial Spirit flew toward the eastern gate and smoothly entered the city.
Within, the profound aura of the Dao rules was palpable.
“Even the outer city’s aura rivals the sacred sites of the main universe.
”Lin Yuan was pleasantly surprised.
This was only the outer city.
The inner city and cave areas, especially the A-rank cave, would provide even stronger rule fluctuations.
The city’s countless defensive arrays were also apparent, capable of repelling even powerful beings like Yun Zhenzi at his peak.
“Let’s proceed to the cave area,” Lin Yuan thought, focused on his goal.
While the city’s arrays posed no threat to him, he preferred to act cautiously.
By sending only the Yang Primordial Spirit, any potential losses would be minimal.
If successful, the rewards of securing the A-rank cave would be substantial....
