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

After trying to capture it more than ten times, Duan Rong also figured out the pattern of the flickering light of this beam of light that touched the law.

Then, once again, they used the bridge of the touch of the law's light to enter the space of the eye of the law.

In the vast emptiness, only a lone star hangs upside down.

Within that solitary star, a wisp of divine thought resonated with Duan Rong's mind.

Duan Rong floated in a void. With a thought, the light that touched the law entered this void as well. His mind then possessed the light that touched the law, manipulating it to wander in this void of the Eye of Law...

After an unknown amount of time, he sensed a faint suction force again. Duan Rong then used his mind to manipulate the light of the Law of Touch, sending it drifting towards the source of the suction.

As the suction force increased, another point of light appeared in front of them.

"A second Eye of Law has appeared!?"

Watching the flickering light points devour the light of the Law of Touch, Duan Rong was utterly shocked.

His mind peeled away from the light of the Law of Touch, leaving only a faint wisp of his mind within it, which was then swallowed into the light spot of the Eye of Law along with the light of the Law of Touch.

Duan Rong floated in the void, looking at the two points of light that shone brightly in the dark void, and his shock was beyond measure.

Only one Eye of Law can appear in the space of each Eye of Law. This is a fixed principle in the sect's cultivation methods.

However, now two Eyes of Law have appeared in the space of his Eye of Law.

In fact, Duan Rong could understand the conclusion that the sect's cultivation methods only described the Eye of Law.

It's the same principle as understanding artistic conception; no one can comprehend hundreds of complex artistic conceptions like Duan Rong. Because understanding artistic conception is extremely difficult.

Whether it's sword intent or saber intent, comprehending and deepening any realm of understanding is no easy task. Often, it's as elusive as a rabbit's horn or a tortoise's hair, impossible to find. One can only persevere through arduous practice, adapt to circumstances, and patiently wait for the flower to bloom. Forcing it only makes it harder to obtain.

In this situation, it is already extremely difficult to comprehend and deepen one's understanding of a single artistic conception; how could anyone comprehend multiple artistic conceptions?

Have you not heard that when one goes astray, many lose their lives?

However, Duan Rong's understanding of artistic conception all came from devouring artifact spirits, and he easily digested and absorbed hundreds of different artistic conceptions.

After these concepts were refined into one, at the second hurdle where Duan Rong condensed the Cave of Enlightenment and comprehended the power of the laws, a situation occurred that none of the Taiyi Sect's patriarchs had anticipated.

That is to say, there is not only one Eye of Law in the space of the power of laws.

Duan Rong's mind was absorbed into both of the two blinking eyes of the Law.

He floated in the void, sensing the two Eyes of Law.

Since the sect's cultivation methods don't cover this situation, and even the patriarch Lü Yinlin couldn't have experienced it, he'll have to figure it out himself.

Because in the Law Space, each additional Eye of Law is equivalent to him mastering one more Law Power.

In this vast land of China, there has never been anyone who could comprehend so many complex and varied realms of thought to such a degree that they could resonate with the power of multiple laws.

Therefore, what exactly does mastering the power of multiple laws mean? There is no record of it from predecessors.

The cultivation system in Kyushu, from the Qi Cyclone Realm to the Cave Meditation Realm, and then to the Nascent Soul Realm, is actually based on the same consistent method.

In the Cyclone Realm, one comprehends a state of mind, continuously delving into its perfection, generating the light of the Laws, and using it to open the door to the Laws, thus advancing to the Cavern Realm.

The same applies to the Cave of Clarity Realm. By using the power of a law, one can continuously delve deeper, gradually approaching the origin of the Dao Body, entering the Dao and transforming into a spirit to condense a nascent soul.

Duan Rong had already gone astray from the beginning. He comprehended hundreds of different kinds of artistic conceptions while he was in the Qi Cyclone Realm. Lü Yinlin saw this problem and made him undergo the tempering in the Myriad Manifestations Cave to fuse and refine the hundreds of different kinds of artistic conceptions into one.

However, Lü Yinlin himself did not know what it would look like after hundreds of artistic conceptions were fused into one, since he had never seen such a situation before.

He simply felt that the hundreds of complex and intertwined artistic conceptions would influence and interfere with each other's deepening.

However, within the ruins of gods and demons, after being nourished by the whispers of gods and demons, a strange change clearly occurred.

At that time, at the central altar within the ruins of gods and demons, Duan Rong spent the longest time immersed in the whispers of gods and demons, far exceeding Guo Tian and the others, even attracting the gaze of the phantom of the gods and demons towards him.

This may also be related to the complexity of his artistic conception.

All the different realms of artistic conception were nourished by the whispers of gods and demons, which is why their time far exceeded that of Guo Tian and the others, since they were all in a single realm of artistic conception.

In other words, the various complex states of mind that Duan Rong has now comprehended can all generate the light of the laws.

Each ray of light that touches the laws can awaken an Eye of Law within the Eye of Law space.

In other words, if Duan Rong continues operating as before, he can not only light up two Eyes of Law in this empty space of laws, but also a third, a fourth...

Each Eye of Law represents a Law of Power.

After clarifying the logic, Duan Rong focused his mind on sensing the two Eyes of Law.

He was primarily sensing their connection to each other.

After a while, Duan Rong was almost certain that the two forces of law seemed to be reflecting each other in this empty space, because the two points of light were flickering. But in reality, they had no connection to each other at all.

Duan Rong's mind raced as he pondered and reflected.

"In other words, these two forces of law coexist without conflict within this law space."

"Different laws of power have no interaction or influence on each other."

After some thought, Duan Rong suddenly had a sudden realization.

"The Law is the function of the Dao, the mother of all things. It is an extremely pure primordial power of this world. The purity and cleanliness of the Law is a property that it inherently possesses, or perhaps it is not quite appropriate to describe it as cleanliness."

"The Tao is neither born nor dies."

"The law is neither defiled nor pure."

"The Dao, the Law, and the Realm of Intent are three levels of power."

Duan Rong had now confirmed one thing: the artistic conception might be complex, but the underlying principles would remain the same.

The essence of artistic conception is actually a person's understanding, a part of worldly martial arts, and therefore it is complex and varied.

But the laws actually belong to the origin of this world; they exist inherently.

Humans are actually beings who have realized the power of laws. This is completely different from the understanding of artistic conception.

Because it is the origin of this world and the law governing the operation of all things, it must coexist without contradiction. Otherwise, this world would have already collapsed.

Duan Rong then realized that the collapse of the world of birth and death was essentially due to the disorder of the laws.

When the laws are in chaos, all things are destroyed and perish, and the world of birth and death collapses. This collapse will continue until the chaotic laws are once again ordered and stable. Then, the world of birth and death will no longer collapse, but will begin to reorganize and form a new world.

Duan Rong had this thought because there were relics of gods and demons in the Nine Provinces world.

The laws governing the ruins of gods and demons are clearly different from those of the Nine Provinces world.

The laws governing this world have undergone a transformation from chaos to order.

Therefore, the world underwent a collapse and reconstruction, transforming from a world of gods and demons into a world of mortals.

The changes in the world are due to the transformation of laws from chaos to order.

"But why do the rules change?"

Duan Rong floated in the void, sensing the power of the laws contained within the two eyes of law.

This power is boundless and formless, infinitely mysterious...

Because a wisp of divine thought was integrated into it, Duan Rong could utilize this power of law, but he could not fathom its origins or fully comprehend its mysteries. Naturally, he could not understand why this profound and mysterious power had mutated.

Duan Rong also knew that this was a question he could not possibly answer, and even Lü Yinlin would probably find it difficult to answer.

He then put this profound and endless question out of his mind and began to deal with the matter at hand.

Since the power of laws operates in parallel without conflict, it will not be as complex and mutually influential as artistic conceptions.

Why doesn't he master more laws of power?

They can coexist without conflict or interference, and it seems that mastering more of them won't do any harm.

Thinking this, Duan Rong withdrew from the space of the Eye of Law and returned to his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness. He looked at the five-colored Ruyi Pearl floating in front of him, which still emitted a faint light of touching the law.

Duan Rong's eyes narrowed, and he quickly formed hand seals again...

A month later, a dark figure suddenly appeared in the quiet secret chamber of the talisman array.

Chu Wushang suddenly appeared like a ghost, silently appearing by the wall of the talisman array chamber.

He looked at Duan Rong with a cold expression.

Duan Rong sat cross-legged on the futon, his face gaunt, like an old monk in deep meditation.

The patriarch Lü Yinlin had instructed Chu Wushang to report Duan Rong's progress to him every month, which is why Chu Wushang went in to check.

His divine sense swept over Duan Rong's dantian and immediately confirmed that Duan Rong was still at the second hurdle, that is, using the origin of intent as a guide to comprehend the power of the law.

Because within Duan Rong's dantian, the qi vortex was still in a state of great perfection, and there was no sign of it transforming into a state of profound understanding.

As for Duan Rong's second stage, what state he entered, and whether he reached the point of touching the light of the law, he could not know.

Because this second test takes place within the spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, Chu Wushang does not yet possess the ability of the ancestor Lü Yinlin to use the nascent soul's divided spirit to enter another's sea of ​​consciousness.

Having confirmed that Duan Rong was still at the second checkpoint, Chu Wushang's eyes flickered, and his figure suddenly vanished...

Two months later, Chu Wushang reappeared silently by the wall.

He looked at Duan Rong with his cloudy eyes. Duan Rong's breathing was shallow and long, he was in a deep meditation, his lips were cracked and his face was withered, he was obviously still immersed in the second barrier.

Because the vortex of energy within his dantian still showed no sign of transforming into a state of profound stillness.

Chu Wushang only stayed by the wall for a moment before disappearing without a trace.

It's quite normal to stay at the second checkpoint for two months.

Three months later, Chu Wushang reappeared, only to disappear again in a flash.

Four months later, Chu Wushang stood by the wall of the talisman array chamber, his expression having changed.

Duan Rong was still sitting cross-legged on the futon, just as he had been two months ago.

Duan Rong has been stuck at the second checkpoint for four months. Adding the month and a half he spent overcoming his inner demons, nearly half a year has passed.

At this point, Chu Wushang was no longer certain whether Duan Rong could complete the condensation of the Cave of Clarity within a year.

The third hurdle, while perhaps not dangerous for Duan Rong, is by no means short. Using the power of laws to condense the Dongming in his dantian is an extremely delicate and complex process that cannot tolerate the slightest mistake, so it is impossible to be quick.

Moreover, Duan Rong's failure to comprehend the power of the laws after four months at the second checkpoint surprised Chu Wushang.

The ancestor Lü Yinlin stayed at the second pass for three months back then.

The ancient road to the mausoleum was stayed for three and a half months.

Back then, he only stayed at the second checkpoint for a little over four months.

But now four months have passed, and Duan Rong is still comprehending the laws within his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

Chu Wushang shook his head with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, sighing inwardly, "This kid is nothing special."

Chu Wushang knew very well that the ancestor was cultivating Duan Rong as a potential Nascent Soul cultivator, and even felt that he had a better chance of condensing a Nascent Soul than Gu Daoling.

But Duan Rong's performance now seems rather ordinary.

Chu Wushang's figure vanished on its own.

Duan Rong was completely unaware of Chu Wushang's arrival, because his entire mind was focused on the space of the Eye of Law.

At this moment, he was floating in this empty space.

Four months ago, there were only two lonely stars hanging upside down, but now, dozens of Eyes of Law are shining brightly in this space, like a sky full of stars.

The space, which was originally empty of the power of laws, now resembled a starry sky.

Over the past four months, Duan Rong has lit up one Eye of Law after another.

Some are easy, while others are quite difficult.

The main focus is on penetrating the light of the Law of Touch. Different kinds of the light of the Law of Touch have different patterns of flashing and disappearing. Duan Rong even found that some of them have no pattern at all and can only be tried randomly. It is normal to try hundreds or thousands of times.

At this moment, Duan Rong had already lit up 79 points of light in the space of the Eye of Law.

In other words, he has already mastered the power of seventy-nine laws.

With a thought, Duan Rong withdrew from the space where the 79 Eyes of Law were flashing.

As soon as he withdrew, he instinctively prepared to form hand seals and cast spells, but suddenly discovered that the five-colored wish-fulfilling pearl floating in front of him no longer emitted its faint light.

"The light that touched the law has disappeared!?"

Duan Rong's hand, which was about to form a hand seal, froze in place, and his eyes flickered slightly.

"There are a total of seventy-nine laws of power."

The disappearance of the light of the Law signifies that this number represents the limit of his comprehension of the power of the Law.

When Duan Rong was in the Qi Cyclone Realm, he comprehended over a hundred different kinds of artistic conceptions. He was certain that it was more than a hundred.

However, there are a total of seventy-nine kinds of artistic conceptions that generate the light of the law.

It seems that not every state of mind has reached a state of perfection, able to resonate with the corresponding law power and generate the light of touching the law.

However, seventy-nine kinds of laws of power is already a terrifying number for Duan Rong. You should know that in the entire Nine Provinces, all the cultivators in the Cave of the Netherworld Realm only master one kind of law of power.

The only difference is the degree to which this power of law penetrates and approaches the Dao body; there will never be multiple kinds of power of law.

Because the forces of law operate in parallel without conflict, they do not intersect.

Although all things change and intersect, the underlying laws governing them do not.

Because there is no convergence, cultivators at the Cavern Realm, once they comprehend one law of power, find it very difficult to comprehend another. This is because laws of power coexist without conflict, preventing them from entering into another law. However, if there were an intersection, they could use the point of convergence to infuse another law into their understanding.

Unfortunately, since the forces of law did not intersect, they had nowhere to attack.

Therefore, advancing from the Cave-Dark Realm to the Nascent Soul stage can only be achieved by continuously delving deeper into the power of one law, gradually approaching the Dao Body, without any side branches or shortcuts. The difficulty of this is self-evident.

It's like stepping into a new world with every step; the higher you go, the colder it gets.

In this realm, there are no more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators. (End of Chapter)
