New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 260 [Anti-Law] The Path to Cultivation

Just as the little girl reached out to take the uniform Yuan Zhu offered, he suddenly pulled his hand back, dragging both uniforms back to his chest, leaving the little girl's small hands grasping at empty air.

"??!"

The little girl stared wide-eyed at her 'big brother + boss' with a look of utter bewilderment: What are you doing?
"and many more!"

Yuan Zhu comforted him, saying, "I suddenly had an idea."

He looked down at the two sets of [blank uniforms] in his hands, and in human form, he slightly used a bit of the power of [anti-law]. The shadow pollution belonging to [anti-law] transformed into wisps of black mist, rising from his palm and seeping into the [uniforms], replenishing and dyeing them.

He only stopped 'polluting' when the outline of the uniform was traced with black shadowed patterns. At this point, the uniform was no longer a blank canvas to be smeared on at will; it had been labeled with 'shadow'.

At the same time, Yuan Zhu also added these two sets of uniforms to the Anti-Law Fund Pool as leverage. He plans to give these uniforms to the two siblings through Anti-Law investment to strengthen his 'favor loan'.

Simply giving away two sets of "blank uniforms" is an act of gifting, at most evoking some superficial gratitude. However, if the "uniforms" are added to the "Anti-Law Gift Pack" before being given away, the nature of the gift changes drastically!

The power the siblings gain through the uniform in the future, and their upgrades, enhancements, and modifications to the uniform, will all be considered as "anti-law investment appreciation," making Yuan Zhu's gratitude grow ever heavier.

Besides using the uniform to solicit favors, he had an even bolder idea: to collect some 'extraordinary contamination crystals' that were marked with 'shadow tags' but could not be truly refined and integrated into his personal 'shadow system'.

He also gifted the two siblings, Nie Yin, and the 'Nigg half-beastmen' who were about to be sent to the arena through the channel of [Anti-Law].

While nurturing them to become stronger and giving them new opportunities, it also helps itself to digest those unusable [contamination crystals], such as the [Shadow Knight Armor] that seemed to have been digested by [Inner Universe] but not quite digested.

This core piece of equipment from the [Knight System] can be passed on to his younger brother through [Anti-Law] investment. After all, the [Armor Forging] of the Qi Refiner is suspected of seriously plagiarizing and copying the [Knight Armor]. If he can refine it, it's equivalent to achieving the [Heavenly Rank] achievement ahead of schedule.

At the same time, Yuan Zhu also knew that no matter how similar [Armor Forging] and [Knight Armor] were, their basic logic (contamination system) was completely different, making them difficult to be compatible.

Therefore, his [actual armor] does not follow his younger brother Jun's [Qi Refining System]; instead, it follows Yuan Zhu's [Anti-Law Contract], forcibly feeding [the uniform] a set of [Shadow Knight Armor] by feeding [the uniform] with polluted energy!
Yuan Zhu relayed his idea to Snake, eagerly boasting, "How about that? Pretty bold, right? One step to the stomach, letting [uniform] directly break through the threshold of [species]!"

Snake praised, "That's indeed a very bold idea! Similarly, we can use [Anti-Law] to contract with [Tiger Demon] for all kinds of 'pollution crystals' that it can't digest. And with the [Shadow Label] left by [Chang Gui's Divine Power], we can smuggle crystals of different 'pollution systems' to [Anti-Law] and lend them out to all kinds of users!"

Snake became increasingly excited as he spoke: "On the surface, our [Anti-Law] always revolves around the development of the [Shadow] pollution system. But secretly, we can use [Chang Gui + Hidden Universe] to fleece various 'pollution systems' and then lend money to 'Anti-Law clients' with different needs. Ultimately, once the clients have made a name for themselves with these 'pollution crystals,' we'll decide whether to collect the debt, reap the rewards, or take them in as dogs!"

Yuan Zhu smiled reservedly: Yes! That's exactly what I was thinking. But I won't say it. You're the one who came up with this plan, and you'll have to take the blame.

The snake, as if by telepathy, sighed in unison, "Lord Lao, I have been far too greedy and wicked! I have come up with such a vicious and terrible idea again. I want to restrain myself, but it is my nature. I cannot control myself, and I have even implicated you! I am guilty, I am deeply guilty!"

Yuan Zhu generously forgave the spicy snack for its mental pollution: "All the people are guilty, but the guilt lies with me!"

After several rounds of polite refusals, he finally gave in to Snake's enthusiasm and went along with it, shifting the blame to the wicked little spicy strip.

Yuan Zhu then gave the shadow uniforms, which had been included in the [Anti-Law. Gift Pack], back to the stunned siblings: "Take them. I've activated these two outfits for you. They'll help you get through the adjustment period, get used to the environment of [Duling Star], and adapt to [Anti-Law. Shadow Power]."

At this moment, Yuan Zhu was still hesitating whether to help the siblings activate the [Three Phases]?
Once the [Three Phases] are activated, the two can simultaneously cultivate along two paths: the [Qi Refining System] and the [Anti-Law. Shadow System].

However, he knew in his heart that the main world did not have a stage for the [Qi Refining System]. He hoped that the siblings could modify the [Qi Refining System] into a completely new [Contamination System]. And with his investment, he hoped they could integrate the new system into the [Anti-Law], opening up a new branch.

As a result, two of the three remaining slots for the Anti-Law Group in his Anti-Law Panel were taken by the two of them.

Currently, Group A consists of five orcs who are following the [Shadow. Power Path].

Group B signed Nie Yin and promoted her to group leader, making her the spokesperson for the [Anti-Law Dominator]. She is now qualified to search for the remaining four clients and personally sign contracts with them.

Currently, the leadership of Group C and Group D has been awarded to the siblings. Yuan Zhu hopes that his older sister, Xiao Tang, will explore the [Alchemy] path, while his younger brother, A Tiao, will pursue the [Masked Insect Knight] path.

In Yuan Zhu's view, the "Overlord of Anti-Laws," if he were to compare himself to the "King Mao Mao," then the "leader" of the Anti-Laws Contract Group would be very similar to a "captain."

The members of 【Happy Home】 are like the 'anti-law clients' selected by 【Mao Mao Wang】. However, 【Mao Mao Wang】 is a meticulous person who never forces sales, so only Mai Lili fell into his trap.

When the two siblings took the uniforms back, they immediately felt a difference.

The uniforms Yuan Zhu had previously handed over were merely special garments imbued with extraordinary power. But this time, they were imbued with a soul (the Anti-Law), giving them a familiar and comforting quality. (His own soul had been pre-sold to the Anti-Law, so naturally, it felt incredibly familiar.)
Yuan Zhu reminded them, "Infuse them with [Shadow Power] to complete the activation binding. From today onwards, try to use [True Qi] as little as possible, and use the power contained in [Subjugation] instead."

Xiao Tang was the most quick-witted, and since signing the [Anti-Law], she had been constantly practicing the manipulation and use of the 'Shadow Power', not caring at all about the accumulation of the 'Anti-Law Favor Loan', and couldn't wait to sell her [Soul] to Yuan Zhu as soon as possible to prove her sense of belonging.

So she took the lead in completing the binding. The [Shadow Uniform] seemed to come alive, turning into a pool of silky black slime that quickly enveloped her clothes, devoured and fused them, and transformed into a brand new outfit.

Xiao Tang also wore a comfortable and blissful expression, having to admit the comfort of [Mao Mao Ace. High-End Clothing]. Just considering it as a set of clothes that will never get dirty and can be changed in style at will, it's already top-notch; any normal person would want a set.

Then, under her control, the uniform began to split into numerous 'shadow threads' along the edges of the sleeves, which weaved, changed direction, and combined freely in the air. The operators were so skilled that it seemed they had worn the uniform for years.

"you……"

Xiao Tang explained, "【Qi Silk】! The most basic unit of this outfit is these 'Shadow Silk Threads'. Their operation is similar to 【Qi Silk Threads】. I can achieve this by directly applying my previous experience." Under her sister's guidance, A-Tiao quickly completed the uniform's binding process. Then, full of curiosity, she manipulated the 【Uniform】, using the 'Shadow Silk Threads' as 【Qi Silk Threads】, just like her sister.

Despite their many differences, the siblings overcame various difficulties and had a great time.

Yuan Zhu then reminded him, "Theoretically, this uniform can be continuously fed with various 'extraordinary materials' to continue growing and evolving. But you two should not act rashly for now and recklessly feed it 'contamination crystals' to deplete the uniform's potential. I have a systematic plan for your future."

Xiao Tang declared, "We will behave."

Yuan Zhu nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, you two should not leave this building for the time being, and you can only move around indoors. Also, there is a mirror in the third-floor attic, which leads to a dangerous 'polluted place,' so don't go near it either."

Xiao Tang sensed something and anxiously asked, "Brother, are you leaving?"

"Well, I need to go out for a bit to take care of some things. At the same time, I also need to figure out how to resolve your immigration status and how to help you adapt to the local environment as quickly as possible."

He planned to first contact members of the White Feather Society to obtain legal and compliant residency status for the two siblings. With this residency status, they could apply for ten "faith quotas" annually, using the blessings of different "deities" to conceal their outsider origins.

With such a combination of [divine protection + anti-law shielding + uniform concealment + civilian-level faith blessing x10...], the two should be able to move around normally in Running, instead of being trapped in the [haunted house], waiting for the [Shadow Law Domain] to be built, and then having to find another place to stay in prison.

After settling the two in, Yuan Zhu gave Xiao Tang an order to repair the "haunted house": instruct her to reorganize and categorize the scattered "insect pillars and supplies," arranging them neatly. He also gave her some control over the "haunted house," allowing her to command the "eggplant ghost, eggplant spirit, and shadow demon insect" to repair the broken second-floor floor.

...

After dealing with all of this, Yuan Zhu switched to [Tiger Demon] and released all the [Shadow Demon Insects] that had been smuggled in through [Inner Universe], before leaving the [Haunted House] feeling completely at ease.

The moment he stepped out the door and officially returned to Running, he felt an invisible pressure.

Even in his human form, he could still hear the call of the shadow beneath his feet. This was the result of the shadow collapsing or the impulse to ascend, triggered by the renewed increase in the power of the Boss Template (Tiger Demon).

The Tiger Demon is growing stronger, and its attraction to the Shadow Layer is gradually increasing. Although the Spirit Star has not yet rejected it or forced the Tiger Demon to ascend, the Shadow Layer has intensified its call.

Yuan Zhu boldly guessed that as long as he secretly switched to the [Tiger Demon Form] in the mortal world, there would definitely be a large number of indescribable calls, tempting it to enter the [Shadow Layer] and not linger in the mortal world where the spiritual energy is thin.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the human realm is too low to sustain the Tiger Demon's cultivation. Only by ascending to the Shadow Layer can it continue to grow.

"I'm getting stronger and stronger, so why haven't I encountered a worthy opponent?"

Yuan Zhu recalled the constant troubles at the beginning of his arrival. There was the evil ritual, the Night Patrol, being captured by the [Happy House], and being trapped in the [Garden of Disease] by a regular exorcist... But after surviving that ordeal, everything was fine, and he traveled peacefully ever after.

Now, he even had the urge to ascend, but instead, everything went smoothly: "This is too unscientific! It's nothing like the 'Spiritual World' I imagined."

Snake: "Perhaps all your troubles have been resolved by the [Sanctuary] and the [Space of Gods]. Fate, luck, and feng shui are the three factors. This is probably what is called 'changing one's luck,' second only to [Heaven's Mandate] in terms of awesomeness! By the way, you suffered another disaster while traveling to Taixi."

Yuan Zhu shook his head: "That was a calamity caused by A Miao. I was just an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire. I just feel like life has been too smooth for me, and I'm about to have a big problem."

Yuan Zhu, suspicious and paranoid, climbed over the wall out of the residential area, and his "anti-law" also captured six other signals.

At this moment, all six users are gathered at one point? The location is a newly rented enclosed warehouse that he rented just before entering [Happy Home].

He wasn't sure how long this 'mission' would last. To avoid wasting time, Yuan Zhu secretly moved five 'dark-skinned orcs' to this warehouse, leaving behind a batch of cash and a large quantity of [Insect Pills]. He also ordered a large amount of fitness equipment and food supplies.

Finally, he handed the key to the warehouse to Nie Yin, entrusting her with full authority to handle these orcs and perform the most basic power pathway modifications on them.

Now, Nie Yin has also appeared at the [Warehouse] location. I wonder how the 'renovation' is going?
As he passed a newsstand, he glanced at the date. He confirmed the mission would take two and a half days. After waiting a long time, he hailed a taxi and headed straight for the warehouse.

Half an hour later, Yuan Zhugang arrived at the secret warehouse door, but before he could even knock, the door was opened from the inside.

Yuan Zhu looked up and saw Nie Yin sitting in front of an experimental table in the poorly lit, empty warehouse, his head down, expressionless, mixing medicine.

On the platform in front of her, scalpels of various sizes, syringes, test tubes filled with blood, headless frog carcasses that had been skinned and drained of their life force, and a large bucket of frog skins were scattered haphazardly. Her white coat was splattered with tiny specks of blood, but she didn't care at all.

Aside from Nie Yin, who exuded a terrifying and evil aura, the other five muscular hybrid beastmen, who were even more muscular and larger, looked fierce, but their eyes revealed fear and resignation.

Nie Yin simply sat there silently, conducting his own research. These five muscle-bound idiots, all show and no substance, resigned themselves to their fate, hiding in a corner of the warehouse, using makeshift equipment to continuously practice squats, dumbbell lifts, bench presses, pull-ups... diligently working out to digest the [Frog-type Pollution (Body Tempering Fluid)] constantly secreted within their bodies, consolidating their physical strength, and unlocking their muscle potential.

After Yuan Zhu entered, Nie Yin's [Anti-Law] sent waves of tremors through him.

She had to put down her work, look up and meet the candlelight with her emerald green eyes, then hummed in acknowledgment as if to say hello.

After a few days apart, the girl seemed a little shy and hesitant to make eye contact or speak to him. However, [Anti-Law] noticed that her nervousness was mixed with excitement and joy.

It's as if his return means we can get resources for free again.
