Xiang Yu stared at the concept in shock.
It really advanced just like that?
This was insane.
He smiled - he had finally found the real bug to exploit. It seemed the best way to gain experience in absolute source law was by creating laws. This was really something he could exploit for infinite exp.
As time went on, he would be able to create more and more laws a day, and as the laws were created at higher and higher levels, the exp they gave would be at higher and higher levels, advancing the concept even higher to create even higher leveled laws next time.
It really was a perpetual motion machine. A real one this time.
He let out a long sigh. He really wished he could create the space and time laws too.
But it seemed this was the limit for him - he didn’t have enough energy to continue.
Maybe tomorrow.
He thought to himself that the energy limit seemed to be the only thing he couldn’t exploit.
Just like how the absolute source, and by extension him, was invisible to the heavenly dao, it seemed to also be the case for the spirit vein (world tree). Although he understood the law, he couldn’t use it from the spirit vein body for some reason. He guessed this was because the spirit vein could be considered a part of the world tree.
He would’ve really liked to exploit this infinite energy to make millions of laws.
He held his chin in thought. He remembered the myth from before. The chaos was created by the heavenly dao and the world tree made life. This was the myth about how the chaos came to be, but according to his theory, everything came from the absolute source. Then didn’t this mean that this myth was wrong?
But the heavenly dao, the world tree, and their authority were definitely real.
Then...
After some thought, he came up with a plausible explanation. Maybe the heavenly dao and the goddess Nüwa were the first ones to emerge from the absolute source. This might’ve given them some special abilities that allowed them to mobilize some source power.
This explained how the world tree had infinite life force and energy, and how the heavenly dao (the entity) could rule over the whole chaos and oversee the method of progression.
So the reason the absolute source concept wasn’t visible to the two, and by extension him, was? He still didn’t get it. He wondered if the absolute source was also some sort of entity and was restricting these two so they wouldn’t reach its power. But that made no sense, as his theory showed that they had some source power which could only be granted by the absolute source.
He remembered the world tree visit. She could see him, but that was just the world tree avatar just like how the Heavenly Dao avatar (Li Yao) could see him.
"Ahh, my head hurts just thinking about it," he said, scratching his head.
He thought to himself that maybe he just needed more time to learn all this. Maybe if his absolute source advanced, he might finally be able to understand what was happening.
Thinking of advancing, he sighed, he could only wait for the next day.
As he thought of this, he suddenly felt something shift inside him.
"Wait...this is..." His expression brightened. That’s right, how could I have forgotten, he thought.
His constellation dao body was upgrading. When it did, all his energy would be restored and it would even greatly exceed the energy he had before.
He could reload his law creation ability...
...
Xiang Yu felt energy shifting within him as the reactions within him intensified.
The intensity was over a hundred times more than before, and the bloodlines fighting within him began generating huge amounts of energy. Even the rebirth effect became triggered, forcing his body into a constant state of rebirth.
At the same time, his body began restructuring, trying its best to advance to the third level.
Xiang Yu noticed something strange.
Something was interfering with the body’s advancement.
Because of the intensified reactions, his bloodline violence had advanced to such a level that it had caught up with all his body progress and was finally doing damage to his body as it fought.
And instead of the body getting used to the damage as time went on, something was different.
The constant fusion of the bloodline essence was making it advance faster and faster, and because the body was vulnerable due to the advancement that had been stopped before completion, it couldn’t keep up while the bloodlines just got stronger and stronger.
Even so, as this happened, the body refining was constantly increasing, hardening the skin so it wasn’t being completely overwhelmed even though it couldn’t catch up to the bloodline violence.
The more the constellation dao body tried to advance, the more intense the reaction became.
Ruptures began appearing on Xiang Yu’s skin for the first time in a while, constantly destroying him.
The bloodlines continued growing stronger and stronger as time went on.
At some point, his arm got completely destroyed but regenerated in an instant. This then began happening to the rest of his body. Within about an hour, his entire body was being destroyed and instantly recreated from just his pure concentrated bloodline essence that kept getting even more concentrated.
This continued for another three hours.
At this time, Xiang Yu’s body had finally caught up - he was no longer being constantly destroyed. Now, the reactions were happening solely in his body and were contained in there.
This continued for another hour.
Xiang Yu slowly opened his eyes. The bloodlines had finally calmed down.
He looked at his body - this was even more intense than fighting his junior sister.
His body had jumped straight to the sixtieth layer of body refining. And besides that, something had happened that even he couldn’t believe.
He could feel it...his bloodline...it had advanced to the divine level.
This is insane, he thought.
Although he couldn’t advance to the progenitor stage because he had multiple bloodlines, he had assumed he could just bypass the strength of a progenitor whilst being a pure blood as his bloodline strength still grew through violence.
He had already managed to surpass the level of the progenitor whilst being in pure blood, but now this was something else. His bloodlines had advanced so much that the mythical rank could no longer describe them, causing them to jump into the divine rank.
