A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

In his mental perception, Duan Rong was unable to sense the touch-law light emanating from the five-colored Ruyi Pearl.

However, since he entered his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness using the sect's techniques, the connection between his thoughts and the five-colored wish-fulfilling pearl had already been strengthened.

Moreover, he used the hand seals and incantations of his cultivation technique to integrate his thoughts and the five-colored wish-fulfilling pearl, the source of his artistic conception, into one.

Under these conditions, the previously imperceptible light of the Law of Touch began to flicker and become faintly perceptible.

The slender light was already dim, and it was flickering uncertainly.

Duan Rong began to try to capture that delicate light with his mind.

But he tried dozens of times and failed each time.

The slender light flickered and faded, and the pattern of its flashing was unpredictable. When it was dim, it was naturally impossible to capture, but even in its momentary brightness, even if one's mind instantly focused on it, it was difficult to merge with and enter into that light so quickly.

Often, just as it was about to be cut, the slender ray of light returned to darkness, as if it had "slipped" away.

Despite dozens of failures, Duan Rong did not lose heart.

According to the cultivation method, it is normal to fail thousands or even tens of thousands of times, and that light is extremely difficult to capture.

After dozens of attempts, Duan Rong gradually discovered some patterns.

He was already extremely familiar with the sect's techniques after devouring the spirit of the artifact, but the flickering patterns of those delicate touch-law lights were different for each one.

In other words, the light of the law emanating from the original state of mind of each person is different, and its flickering is related to the corresponding power of the law behind it.

Therefore, Duan Rong had to make his own judgment based on the actual situation at hand, but fortunately he had gradually figured out some of the tricks of the trade.

These delicate rays of light, after each of the four periods of brightness and darkness, will appear in a longer period of brightness on the fifth period of brightness. However, these five periods of brightness will appear immediately after the fourth period of brightness, with very short intervals between them.

Duan Rong considered it for a while. He figured that if he gave up the first four short periods of brightness and focused on the fifth period of brightness, which lasted longer, his chances of success would increase significantly.

After dozens of failed attempts, he felt that if he didn't make a choice, he didn't know when he would be able to capture and enter the realm of the Law of Touching, perhaps thousands of times, perhaps tens of thousands of times...

Once the strategy was determined, Duan Rong calmly put it into practice.

He remained unmoved and silently counted the first four flashes of light. As soon as the fourth flash faded into darkness, his thoughts immediately surged, reaching out to capture the dimness.

Just as his mind began to capture the past, the radiant light shone forth. It was as if his heart had grasped the essence, and his hand followed suit.

Duan Rong immediately focused a wisp of his mind into the slender light that was flashing. Just as the light was about to dim, Duan Rong's wisp of mind had already seeped into it.

Once a wisp of his mind seeped into it, the slender light remained steady in its bright state, no longer slipping into darkness.

After Duan Rong's wisp of consciousness merged with the slender light, he then made another hand seal, merging a second wisp of divine thought into the slender light of the Law of Touch.

After the second wisp of divine thought merged in, the slender light suddenly extended and protruded half an inch further in the direction away from the Five-Colored Wish-Fulfilling Pearl...

Subsequently, Duan Rong's third wisp of divine thought merged into that light.

The light slowly extended, like a thorn growing in the darkness...

Duan Rong then incorporated the fifth and sixth strands of divine thought...

The delicate light of the Law of Touch not only remained bright, but also extended by several inches.

Duan Rong sensed the changes in the light and then merged the seventh strand of divine thought into it.

Just then, his brow twitched.

Because after the seventh wisp of divine thought merged into it, the flickering tip of that light suddenly disappeared.

At this moment, the slender light of the Law of Touch was like a needle whose tip had been cut off.

"It's already inside."

Duan Rong was well-versed in martial arts and naturally knew what the strange phenomenon before him represented.

Then, his entire mind left the Five-Colored Ruyi Pearl and, along the slender light of the Law of Touch, seeped into the place where the tip of the Law of Touch disappeared.

In fact, the fleeting tip that touched the light of the law did not disappear, but rather entered the space of the eye of the law.

Within the space of the Eye of Law, the power of law permeates and envelops.

The generation of that touch of the law lies in the resonance between the origin of the conception and the corresponding power of the law.

The sect's cultivation method continuously strengthens the light that touches the law by injecting strands of divine thought until it finally enters the space of the eye of the law.

At this moment, the light of the Law emanating from the origin of that artistic conception becomes a bridge to enter the space of the Eye of Law.

The cultivator's mind can enter the space of the Eye of Law through this bridge and comprehend the power of the law.

At this moment, Duan Rong's mind had already followed the light of the law and entered the space of the Eye of Law.

As soon as he reached the point where the tip of the law-touching light disappeared, Duan Rong felt a strange sensation in his mind. The previous sense of solidity and groundedness vanished instantly, and he felt lightheaded, as if he had entered a space where the soul was weightless.

This space is absolutely dark and absolutely silent.

Duan Rong's weightless soul felt an extreme emptiness.

He knew that he had entered the space of the Eye of Law, a place permeated with the power of law.

The power of laws is formless and shapeless. This formlessness and shapelessness cannot be manifested even in his divine sense; it can only appear as nothingness.

But in reality, it is a kind of existence, only this existence is imperceptible.

To be more precise, its true form is imperceptible; only its effects can be perceived. And within the space of this Eye of Law lies the very essence of the power of law. Just like the undetectable dark matter and dark energy in the universe of my previous life on a blue planet.

Duan Rong drifted in this absolutely empty space. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and the slender light of the Law of Touch, which had been there, slowly entered this space along with his thought.

That slender light was dazzling in the empty darkness.

The reason Duan Rong was able to manipulate the light of the law and enter the space of the eye of the law was because his seven strands of divine sense had merged with the light of the law.

The slender ray of light floated in the darkness like a silver needle.

Duan Rong focused his entire mind on that slender ray of light.

He began to manipulate the slender light, wandering through this empty space. Suddenly, he wandered to a certain spot in the empty space and abruptly felt a faint suction force.

Although the suction force was weak, Duan Rong still clearly sensed it, because during his wandering journey, his divine sense had been constantly trying to detect this faint suction. He knew very well what that suction force meant.

He then manipulated the slender rays of the Law of Touch, causing them to float towards the source of the suction force.

As they drew closer, the suction force attached to the light of the Law of Touch increased rapidly. Duan Rong focused his mind; he knew he was approaching the power of the Law he needed to comprehend.

As the suction force increased, they were pulled towards some empty space at an astonishing speed, as if by something.

Although the world was empty and there was no sound of wind, Duan Rong could still feel a terrifying speed. He could sense that something was getting closer and closer to him.

Just then, a small point of light flashed not far ahead. The point of light was very small and kept flickering. The light that touched the law was being swallowed up little by little by the point of light.

Duan Rong's mind immediately detached from the light of the law, leaving only a wisp of his mind still integrated into it.

He watched as the slender ray of touch was completely devoured by the light, and the wisp of his consciousness that he had left within that ray of touch was also swallowed by the light.

The point of light is the power of the law corresponding to the touch of the law's light. Only where they come into contact will a point of light appear. This point of light is called the eye of the law.

When Duan Rong first entered this space, it was completely empty. Only then did the first point of light appear, which was the first Eye of Law.

Duan Rong's divine sense also entered the light spot, and at that moment, through this divine sense, he instantly comprehended the power of the law.

Duan Rong floated in this empty space, sensing the wondrous power of the laws within the Eye of Law not far away.

"This is the law?!"

"The essence of the Dao is the mother of all things."

"The Dao as the essence is one. But the application of the Dao, that is, the power of the laws, is ever-changing."

"It is precisely because of these ever-changing laws that the world of myriad phenomena exists."

"All things follow one principle. The changes of all things also follow one principle."

In that empty world, Duan Rong faced the solitary Eye of Law, comprehending the power of the law. He didn't know how much time had passed, but he felt that he had completely grasped the power of the law contained within the Eye of Law.

Moreover, he can activate this power of law immediately with just a thought. After all, a wisp of his consciousness resides within that eye of law.

Duan Rong then thought of another problem.

He had asked Lü Yinlin this question in his cave dwelling.

In other words, how to determine whether the power of the law he comprehends is a law of growth or a law of flaws.

Lu Yinlin did not answer him at the time, but simply told him that he would naturally know it the moment he comprehended it.

As Lü Yinlin said, Duan Rong was indeed very clear at this moment that the power of the laws he had comprehended was abundant, complete, and would grow and deepen.

All things are governed by one principle, but there is no fixed form of all things in the world.

Wind, stone, water, and earth are all forms and shapes.

A gentle breeze blowing through the willows is not cold, but a strong wind can uproot houses and trees.

When water is gentle, it will remain round if contained in a round vessel, and square if contained in a square vessel. When water is strong, rivers flow backward and mountains collapse; how can round or square vessels contain it?

The law is not a law for a particular time or place, but a law that exhausts all things.

The laws of a particular time and place are worldly laws, not the laws of the Tao, nor the laws governing all things.

Duan Rong floated in this empty space. He looked at the eye of law that flickered like a star, and after confirming that he had completely comprehended the power of that law, he withdrew from the space of the eye of law.

The moment he exited the empty space of the Eye of Law, Duan Rong returned to his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

He was sitting cross-legged in the center of the black earth, while the five-colored Ruyi Pearl, the source of the essence of the realm, floated not far away.

The power of the law is formless and intangible, and cannot manifest even within the spiritual sea of ​​consciousness. Therefore, once Duan Rong exited the space of the Eye of the Law, he could no longer see it, but he could still sense the existence of that power of the law.

After all, a wisp of his divine thought remained in that eye of the law, and with this wisp of divine thought, he could activate the power of the law with his mind anytime and anywhere.

Duan Rong stared at the five-colored Ruyi Pearl before him, his eyes suddenly widening in astonishment, his heart churning with turmoil.

Because at this moment, the five-colored Ruyi Pearl was still emitting a faint light of the Law of Touch.

The scene before him was completely different from the sect's techniques and the records in Lü Yinlin's notes.

This is because the generation of the light of the law is a correspondence between the origin of the intent and the power of the law. At this moment, Duan Rong has already comprehended that power of the law and left a wisp of divine thought within it.

In other words, their correspondence should disappear at this moment, because Duan Rong's thoughts are present in both the origin of the artistic conception and the eye of the law, and they have lost their corresponding sense of distance.

This is also recorded in the sect's cultivation methods and Lü Yinlin's notes.

When a cultivator comprehends the power of the laws and exits the space of the Eye of Laws, the touch of the laws at the origin of their intent disappears.

At this moment, the essence of the realm and the eye of the law are in harmony with the cultivator's mind. Therefore, the correspondence between them is meaningless, and the light of the law immediately vanishes upon contact.

Strangely, the five-colored Ruyi Beads before them still emitted a faint glow of the Law of Touch.

"Why?!"

Duan Rong was shocked, his eyes filled with deep doubt.

He sat there in deep thought for a long time, then suddenly looked up at the five-colored Ruyi Pearl floating not far away, and murmured, "Unless... there is another law power in the space of that Eye of Law that resonates with the origin of that realm..."

Upon realizing this, Duan Rong decided to immediately put his idea into practice and verify it.

He followed the same method, and began to form hand seals and chant mantras again, merging his mind and spirit with the five-colored wish-fulfilling jewel.

Then he began to use his mind to capture the light of the Law of Touch emanating from the Five-Colored Wish-Fulfilling Pearl.

Duan Rong was surprised to find that the delicate light of the Law of Touch, flickering and fading, followed a different pattern than the first time.

This indicates that the power of the laws corresponding to the origin of the artistic conception has changed, and therefore the pattern of the flickering and fading of the light of the laws will change.

"As expected, there is another law power."

Duan Rong suddenly realized something: his original artistic conception was originally a fusion of hundreds of different artistic conceptions.

Moreover, after being tempered in the Myriad Manifestations Cave and nourished by the whispers of gods and demons within the ruins of gods and demons, his original essence of intent, which consisted of hundreds of complex and varied intents, has clearly undergone a mutation.

This mutation was something even the sect's patriarch, Lü Yinlin, had probably never seen before. This point was subtly probed when Duan Rong asked Lü Yinlin about the questions recorded in his notes.

Clearly, the various changes in the essence of his artistic conception are the reason for the anomaly before our eyes.

His artistic conception originates from the power of multiple laws.

This has probably never happened before in the entire land of Kyushu. (End of Chapter)
