Chapter 379: Original Law
Xiang Yu froze when he saw his Transcendent Body experience points.
He checked several times to make sure he wasn’t dreaming. He had actually gained fifty thousand experience in a single day, breaking his previous record by almost three times. Now, after the doubling, he could see that he only had three days left to reach level three.
He had saved himself a full day.
He thought to himself that if he had known about the benefits he would get from dual cultivating with his junior sister, he wouldn’t mind them fighting all day long. In fact, this was the most efficient way to farm experience at the moment.
He really wanted to... "Ahem." He cleared his throat. He needed to control himself. The promise of experience was making him have strange thoughts. He would discuss this with his wife once she returned.
Speaking of, he felt a loud thundering sensation spreading through the ground. Although others might not be able to pick up on it, he could feel it clearly. He thought to himself that it was probably the sensation of his junior sister’s heavenly tribulation spreading through the earth. She really was a monster, for her tribulation to force the world to tremble even slightly.
As he thought about this, he suddenly had another idea.
Since the Heavenly Dao Body and the Transcendent Dao Body were extreme opposites, did that mean he would get something on the same level as the Law of Heavenly Way if he continued upgrading his dao body?
Probably not.
Li Yao was lucky that many things came together at the right time for her to gain such power. But for him, at the sixth level of Transcendent Body, he might get a special domain, and maybe a law at the seventh level.
But Xiang Yu didn’t care about this. By the time he got his Transcendent Dao Body to level six, even with his junior sister’s help, he might not necessarily need a domain at that moment.
After he was done battling his junior sister, he had run a few simulations against her Heavenly Dao Avatar form. This also confirmed that she could see him now. Through the simulations, although he was stronger than her in all conceivable ways, he still lost to her, and quite easily at that.
This was because of the Law of Heavenly Way. It wasn’t that the law itself was particularly strong, it was just that a domain couldn’t win against a law.
Xiang Yu thought to himself that he needed to find a law of his own to keep up.
Since Li Yao was kind of like the main character, when she got a power-up, it meant the upcoming enemies would be much stronger than before. For this reason, he needed to power up as well.
According to the Empress, you could endure the immortal tribulation at the Integration Realm during the breakthrough to the Tribulation Realm. From this, he concluded that the Tribulation Realm should be able to handle immortal energy.
If he could level up his spirit root to immortal grade and actively absorb immortal energy, paired with his Tribulation Realm physical body, then he should be able to handle immortal energy. With this, he could also use a law.
Even with all this groundwork, there was still a problem.
He didn’t have a law even if he got the immortal qi, and waiting for his domains to evolve into a law would take forever.
That’s why he was thinking of developing his own law.
He didn’t think it was that hard from what he saw when Li Yao used it in the simulation. This was probably due to his upgraded Researcher profession. Still, it might take time. Well, since he had yet to lay the groundwork, he supposed it didn’t matter. He passed this train of thought to the light clone and continued exploring the reset screen.
...
Xiang Yu gazed at the stats of his new body.
It had actually gained twenty thousand points in a single day. As expected of the Stellar Body. Since it continuously refined itself, it made sense it could gain at least this much. Even so, Xiang Yu was a little unsure. He wondered how much exactly was from the body itself and how much was from the dual cultivation. Well, he’d find out next reset.
Moving on to his Chaos Body, it had gained fifty thousand experience, just like the Transcendent Dao Body. He wondered if he might actually gain the Chaos Law soon.
Well, he’d wait and see.
Even so, he still wanted to make his own law. He thought to himself that Li Yao had a natural affinity towards Heavenly Way and would improve on it at unprecedented speeds. For him, he did indeed have natural affinity towards void and maybe the law that would come from the Transcendent Dao Body, but even then, he didn’t feel that these things completely embodied him like Li Yao embodied Heavenly Way as the Heavenly Dao Avatar.
This is why he was so determined to make his own law.
It’s said that there are three thousand worlds and daos, but in reality, it was a lot more than that and the number was actually closer to infinite. This was what he knew from reading countless cultivation novels in his previous life, and that’s how he believed he could create something new above the original three thousand - something that truly embodied him.
Another reason why he chose to do this was out of fear of the ones at the top.
In many novels it’s said that those at the top of the dao can never be surpassed by those below. He had seen this firsthand by how the sage tried to interfere with Li Yao through the law. Xiang Yu didn’t want his main law to be something that didn’t completely belong to him, otherwise, he might not know how he died.
The last body, the War God Body, had already leveled up earlier and gained half the experience required, reaching level three after the doubling. From it, Xiang Yu gained a boost in physical strength, as well as all sorts of techniques being ingrained deep into his body, increasing his overall combat power by quite a bit.
As he was going over the other stats, he noticed that his domains had finally entered the reset screen after he had spent so much time studying them.
But when he looked at the experience required, he could only sigh.
The World Level domains needed a hundred thousand experience to reach the Absolute level, and at that level, it would probably need a million. With the little experience he was gaining each day, it was going to take quite a while.
This was why he couldn’t rely on this method to acquire a law.
