Dao Ye is going to ascend

Chapter 754 Exploiting Legal Network

Within the gray stone platform, various sounds intertwined, and all sorts of noises rose and fell.

"Legend has it that in the beginning of time, in the Xuanhuang world, various races existed, giving rise to all kinds of laws and paths... Later, a sage appeared, and all paths gradually came to be unified..."

"...After the Ninth War of Opening, the Lord of Yuanming wanted to spread the Dharma of Xuanhuang and seize this Weitian. Among the various sects, some watched coldly, some secretly plotted, and some secretly helped...and the same was true for the various realms of Guixu."

"...On that day, the Ruins of Return trembled, and the Xuanhuang World Tree fell silent...Afterwards, the Hongmeng Saint, who had fled to the Chaos Sea, returned at the opportune moment...The Xuanhuang Sealed the Realm, and the three saints of Hongmeng, Calamity, and Destiny joined forces to forge a 'Net of Law' to suppress all disobedient cultivators..."

……

Li Yuan was sorting out the listening notes.

With the help of a massive amount of incense offerings and a palm sound talisman of level fifteen, he has gained a lot from these months of intense listening practice.

The changes in the Xuanhuang Great World and the origins of the Law Net have been roughly summarized.

The birth of the Law Net was directly caused by the Primordial Heavenly Lord, but the deeper reason lies in the Xuanhuang World Tree!

"The Xuanhuang World Tree, since its birth, has been nurturing the heavens, guiding, and even devouring other dimensions within the Void."
This could very well be related to the growth of this innate spiritual root…

On the platform where people were being robbed, Li Yuan held a fishing rod and fished, while various thoughts swirled in his mind.

The Xuanhuang World Tree is the foundation of this top-tier dimensional heaven, or rather, this dimensional heaven itself is the means by which this innate spiritual root strengthens itself.

This point was mentioned in the intelligence he had gathered earlier.

In fact, although the Three Saints, Five Emperors, and Twelve Immortals reigned supreme at the pinnacle of Xuanhuang, there were significant conflicts between their respective lineages before the Xuanhuang Sealing Realm and the establishment of the Law Net.

However, after the birth of the Law Net, in the three thousand great worlds of Xuanhuang, only the Three Saints Sect remained!

The various sects and lineages that emerged over hundreds of epochs or even longer periods of time either came under the sway of the Three Saints Sect or fled this world.

Alternatively, they can hide in the shadows.

"The transmission of the Xuanhuang Dharma by the Primordial Heavenly Emperor led to the creation of the Dharma Net, but this was by no means the main reason!"

Li Yuan carefully analyzed the various sounds he heard, and he suspected that the Three Saints, or rather the Primordial Saints, might have long planned to create a magic net.

He even felt that the transmission of the Xuanhuang Dharma by the Yuanming Tianzhu was related to him.

Otherwise, why would he suddenly return after the Lord of Yuanming spread the Dharma, and quickly forge the Dharma Net, when he had been living in the Chaotic Sea for decades and rarely participated in wars?
Li Yuan's mind was in turmoil, and he vaguely came to a conclusion.

"The Xuanhuang World Tree may not like the law!"

Although it was just a guess, Li Yuan felt it was very likely, because the time when the Xuanhuang Seal was completed and the magic net was forged was precisely when this innate spiritual root returned to silence.

When the World Tree revives, its protective net has spread throughout the three thousand realms of Xuanhuang, and even this mother of all things cannot stop it.

"The World Tree, the Three Sages, the Five Emperors, the Twelve Golden Immortals..."

The more Li Yuan pondered, the more he felt that the waters of this realm were very deep.

"Om~"

At this moment, he sensed something and focused his attention on the message originating from the sword lotus.

When the three saints bestowed the ordination, he deliberately severed his connection with the sword lotus body, but it was also very easy to re-establish the connection with the sword lotus body itself.

"Om~"

A slight ripple stirred in his mind, and in an instant, Li Yuan had already received all the messages transmitted by the sword lotus body.

Legal net, good deeds, initiation, power leveling...

"Initiation Cultivation, Primordial Five Punishments Sword..."

After digesting all the information, Li Yuan was quite shaken. He suddenly realized that Qin Qian had probably also witnessed the initiation cultivation before, which was why he was so terrified.

"Initiation and cultivation, power leveling..."

Soon, Li Yuan calmed down and began to ponder whether the idea of ​​taking advantage of the legal system was feasible.

"The Sword Lotus Body is one with me, and theoretically, all the spells and supernatural powers he cultivated through initiation can be transmitted back to his original body!"

Each spell is unique and cannot be used interchangeably.

The various spells cultivated by the Shadow Demon body must be transferred through the Divine Realm before they can be borne and refined by the main body.

The same applies to the body of the sword lotus.

"The Net of Law can erase the memories of Xuanhuang cultivators. Can it also strip away the supernatural powers and spells refined by my true form?"

Li Yuan pondered this in his heart, and the game of power leveling was just an experiment.

Normally, when a cultivator accepts a 'repairing' task, the spells and supernatural powers they cultivate will be infused into the body of the task issuer through the Dharma Net upon completion of the task.

At the same time, if one does not perform corresponding good deeds, the memories of practicing the cultivation method on behalf of another will also be erased.

"Let's see if the law can erase my original memories..."

Li Yuan felt this was somewhat risky, but worth a try.

Firstly, the Great Luo Diagram disrupted the heavenly order and isolated the Dharma Net from monitoring outside cultivators; secondly, the Dharma Net was enough to make him take some risks.

Finally, and most importantly, he hasn't practiced his internal energy cultivation techniques for almost half a year!

Although he was also contemplating the true form and pondering the true form diagrams of the Origin God City and the Xuanhuang World Tree, he still felt very uncomfortable.

"If the net of law detects this, I will immediately stop the martial arts practice and leave my sword lotus body here for a final showdown!"

Li Yuan made up his mind.

Heaven knows how many years this Xuanhuang Martial Arts Competition will last. If it's ten or eight years, that's fine, but if he can't cultivate for decades or even centuries, he simply can't accept it.

"Let's give it a try!"

Having made up his mind, Li Yuan began to synchronize the ten spells in the memories of the Sword Lotus Body, as well as the 'Primordial Five Punishments Sword' he had received through initiation.

"Indeed, it is a top-tier cultivation technique!"

Li Yuan first comprehended the Primordial Five Punishments Sword.

He had a keen eye; even though it was only one level of the scriptures, compared to the Five Great Scriptures, he felt that none of them individually could compare to this killing sword path.

He even felt that the Tai Xuan Sword Scripture was slightly inferior.

"It is comparable to the Primordial Five Extremes Dao, truly worthy of being the fundamental cultivation method of the Five Emperors of Xuanhuang!"

Li Yuan inwardly praised the technique, memorizing it before turning his attention to the spells he had acquired from the ten missions the sword lotus had accepted. Since it was merely for experimentation, these ten Xuanhuang spells were rather rudimentary, at most only at the 'Gong' level.

"The law network is so convenient; there's no need to search for divine runes at all..."

With a thought, Li Yuan entered the divine realm, sat cross-legged beneath the sword lotus, and began cultivating these ten spells.

To be on the safe side, he did not cultivate on his own, but instead summoned a demonic shadow to manage his cultivation.

"Om~"

As he conceived the thought, the sword lotus trembled gently, and then wisps of spiritual energy from heaven and earth flowed out from the lotus.

This is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that the Sword Lotus absorbed and exhaled in the Calamity Altar, which then passed through the Sword Lotus.

After all, there are many cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm who have created avatars, so it's impossible for them to also be granted ordination through their avatars.

Therefore, when the main body is granted a talisman, the avatar can also cultivate simultaneously, and vice versa.

"Very pure and docile, with no foreign energy whatsoever..."

Li Yuan was highly focused, ready to communicate with the Great Luo Diagram to escape at any moment, but he did not notice anything unusual.

Although the spiritual energy emanating from the sword lotus was weak, there was nothing unusual about it.

"call!"

"Suck!"

That wisp of demonic shadow shifted its form, swallowing all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into its body, and then, under Li Yuan's guidance, began to cultivate magic.

In just a short while, he had mastered the basics of all ten spells.

"The mission requires thirty-two layers of magical restrictions. At my current cultivation speed, it should take me at most a month or so. But considering the Sword Lotus Body, it would be best to slow it down to six months, or even a year later..."

Li Yuan pondered this in his heart.

The Sword Lotus Body is an incarnation born from the Great Medicine, equivalent to a seventh-order talent, and it greatly enhances the ability to cultivate metal and wood elemental spells.

But compared to him, it is still much slower.

"There's no rush."

Li Yuan calmed his mind and focused on manipulating the Demon Shadow Refining Technique, but most of his attention was focused on his mind sea, where he began to visualize the Xuanhuang World Tree.

"Om~"

Ripples spread across the sea of ​​his mind, and as his thoughts converged, the ethereal image of a divine tree gradually appeared.

After months of dedicated meditation, Li Yuan was able to visualize the complete Xuanhuang World Tree.

Of course, it's just a vague outline.

"The Sword Lotus Body did not find the true form of the Xuanhuang World Tree within the Dharma Net. It might be due to insufficient authority, or it might be that the Three Saints do not allow this method to be passed on..."

"But it's also possible that the Xuanhuang World Tree won't allow it!"

Feeling the blurry tree shadows in his mind, Li Yuan had such a thought, but it passed by in an instant. He then focused his mind again and took control of the 'Mysterious Vine Serpent Shedding'.

The reason he was able to visualize the vague Xuanhuang World Tree within a few months was precisely because of the 'Sixfold Azure Emperor Longevity Scripture' realm enhanced by the snake's molt.

This is equivalent to a sixth-realm wood element cultivator visualizing the World Tree, so the speed is naturally very fast.

……

Eight months later, on Lingmiao Island.

"call!"

In the courtyard, Jian Lian sat cross-legged on the ground, wisps of spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathering like mist, enveloping him.

Eight months later, even without further initiation, the Sword Lotus Body still entered the Unity Realm and refined a Primordial Five Punishments Mana.

Meanwhile, one of the spells has already been mastered to the point of having thirty-two layers of magical restrictions.

"call!"

With a breath of turbid air exhaled, the sword lotus body, having completed its cultivation, severed its connection with its original body and then reconnected with the magic network.

[The Transformation of Wood Technique has been cultivated to the thirty-second level of its restrictions. Submit the quest now?]

"Submit the mission!"

Sword Lotus Body did not hesitate at all.

[The Wood Transformation Technique Manual requires twelve Lesser Skill Points. Would you like to redeem it?]

"no!"

[If you do not exchange for the manual, you will lose all memory of this spell after submitting the quest... Do you agree?]

"Approved!"

After confirming the information, Jian Lian felt a thunderous roar in her mind, followed by an overwhelming sense of emptiness.

He could feel a chill between his brows, as if a cold wind had blown into his heart. In less than a moment, he had lost the Wood Transformation Technique he had painstakingly cultivated for eight months, as well as the corresponding memories of his cultivation.

[Task completed, reward: 120 minor merits]

Sensing the fluctuations emanating from the Dharma Net, Jian Lian showed neither sorrow nor joy, but simply opened her eyes and looked towards the Three Saints Temple not far away.

Waiting for news from the main body.

……

The moment he severed his connection with the sword lotus body, Li Yuan was ready to withdraw from the martial arts competition.

But he waited for a long time, and the divine realm remained calm.

"Nothing happened?"

Li Yuan felt a sense of relief and immediately unleashed the Demon Shadow Ring, only to see that the divine restriction of that Wood Transformation Technique was still circulating.

"It's a success?!"
