Chapter 1112 - 1212: Power of Laws

However, right now, Ye Tianfan simply had nowhere suitable to advance to the Taichu Realm.

Penglai Immortal Island fundamentally could not let people improve; it could only infinitely increase the amount of Spiritual Power, without increasing its quality.

As for inside the Wall, that went without saying. Basically it would never be Ye Tianfan's turn; any extra bit of Fortune would be divided up by those currently at the top of the pyramid. Don't even talk about Fortune—there wouldn't even be scraps left.

So if Ye Tianfan wanted to advance to the Taichu Realm inside the Wall, he would at least have to wait ten or twenty thousand years.

And if Ye Tianfan wanted to advance to the Taichu Realm outside the Wall, he would have to enter the Taichu Realm by using Demonic Qi, Evil Qi and other negative auras. In that case, Ye Tianfan would be no different from those creatures outside the Wall.

Therefore, if Ye Tianfan wanted to advance to the Taichu Realm, as long as his Fortune was sufficient, he would not encounter any bottlenecks.

He was unlike the Taichu True Person, who, because his Fortune was insufficient and he had not comprehended any Power of Rules, had been unable to enter the Taichu Realm for so long. In fact, the main reason was that the Taichu True Person's Fortune was not enough to support him in comprehending the Power of Rules.

That was why the Taichu True Person had no way to enter the Taichu Realm. If the Taichu True Person had already been on the verge of comprehending the Power of Rules, then at the instant he stepped outside the Wall, when Ye Tianfan used the Chaos Treasure Lotus to support the Energy Shield, he would have directly comprehended the Power of Laws and entered the Taichu Realm. Because the moment Ye Tianfan raised the Energy Shield, it meant that the Fortune in that region was already available for the Taichu True Person to use; the Taichu True Person could also borrow the Fortune of that area to enter the Taichu Realm.

Even if at that time the Taichu True Person still could not enter the Taichu Realm, then as the territory continued to expand, the very first person to enter the Taichu Realm would still be the Taichu True Person, because only he was already at the half-step Taichu Realm.

Thus, this surplus Fortune would be used by the Taichu True Person with priority. And judging from the current situation, as long as Ye Tianfan and the others continued to expand their territory, the Taichu True Person would very soon comprehend the Power of Laws. After all, the Taichu True Person was already at half-step Taichu, and the area where they were living outside the Wall had also been transformed into a place with the most primordial Spiritual Power, rather than one filled with Demonic Qi, Evil Qi and other negative auras.

Moreover, when Ye Tianfan previously used the Vibrating Power, the Taichu True Person had already sensed a trace of a different type of power. The Taichu True Person still did not clearly know what this power actually was, but since he was already able to feel this Power of Rules, that proved the time for him to comprehend the Power of Rules was not far off, right?

However, in the current situation, the time for the Taichu True Person to comprehend the Power of Laws would have to be delayed, because the exploration team outside the Wall had already decided to slow its pace, and the Taichu True Person did not know that as long as they expanded their territory a bit further, he would be able to comprehend the Power of Laws.

If the Taichu True Person knew about this, he would definitely have everyone continue to expand their territory.

Once the Taichu True Person comprehended the Power of Laws, then slowing down would also be acceptable, but by that time there would no longer be any need to slow down. The Taichu True Person would no longer need to rely on the Xiaoyao Sword to slay those creatures outside the Wall; with his own strength alone he would be able to kill the enemy.

And the now-vacant Xiaoyao Sword could be lent for others to use. Of course, if it were to be lent out, the Taichu True Person would have to be standing by; otherwise he would not feel at ease, since this was an absolute-level Magical Treasure, and one that was also rich in the Power of Laws.

For a Magical Treasure of this level, if one wanted to fully wield it and bring out the might of its Power of Rules, the wielder would at least need to be at the Shifang Realm. And Shifang Realm cultivators within the entire Immortal Cultivation World were not exactly many, but not exactly few either.

For those people, using the Xiaoyao Sword would be quite easy, and making the Xiaoyao Sword completely change ownership would also be very easy, because in order to lend the Xiaoyao Sword to them, one would have to erase every imprint on the Xiaoyao Sword.

And for those who were already at the Shifang Realm, to completely imprint their mark on it again would be extremely easy.

Therefore, the Taichu True Person would have to keep an eye on things himself; otherwise someone really might appropriate this Magical Treasure, and then keep dragging things out, refusing to return it. In that case, even if the Taichu True Person forcibly took the Magical Treasure back, it would be of no use.

Because even if the Taichu True Person forcibly reclaimed this Magical Treasure, he still would not be able to use it. For a Magical Treasure fully refined by a Shifang Realm cultivator, if the Taichu True Person wanted to completely erase that person's imprint, not only would it be extremely time-consuming, the entire process would also be very troublesome.

Furthermore, the Xiaoyao Sword was a Magical Treasure rich in the Power of Rules, which would make the process even more troublesome. If the Taichu True Person truly resolved to re-refine this Magical Treasure and erase the other person's imprint, he would at least have to spend thirty to fifty years on it; if the process went poorly, taking a hundred years or more would not be out of the question.

Thus, the Taichu True Person really did not feel at ease handing this freed-up Xiaoyao Sword to others. But if he were to give it to his own people to use, that would delay his own people's duties, because someone like the Zhen Chu True Person was responsible for using Arrays to protect every newly expanded territory after each expansion.

And the Yuan Chu True Person was responsible for refining all the Magical Treasures and could not delay others' use of Magical Treasures.

As for the Zhi Chu True Person, he had to refine pills to help everyone restore their Spiritual Power, so he also could not be overly exhausted by battle. Otherwise, if the supply of pills could not keep up, the trouble would only be greater. So among their own people there was no suitable candidate, while the Elders' strength was insufficient; they could not support the use of the Xiaoyao Sword. Perhaps after a single slash, the Xiaoyao Sword would directly drain that Elder dry.

Therefore, this Xiaoyao Sword could only be given to the Sect Leaders of other Sects to use, and their strength had to be at least at the Shifang Realm.

In fact, the Taichu True Person was more inclined to have the Fan Sect Leader use this Xiaoyao Sword, because he still trusted the character of the people of the Fan Sect.

The people of the Dali Sect mainly relied on the power of their physical bodies, and all sorts of Immortal Techniques had to be matched with their unique Magical Treasures in order to be fully unleashed. As for those Sects ranked further back, to be honest, the Taichu True Person did not have much interaction with them, so he still could not trust the character of those Sect Leaders.

Besides, this was no ordinary Magical Treasure, but an absolute-level Magical Treasure containing the Power of Laws. Among those lower-ranked Sects, their foundation was not strong. After all, within the Immortal Cultivation World, only four Sects had the strongest heritage, and one of them had already been directly annihilated in a previous incident. So at present there were only three Sects with the strongest foundation, while the one that had risen up to fill the vacancy had a heritage not even one-tenth that of the Dali Sect.
