but sadly, his comprehension was lacking; he never understood the ultimate laws, the ways of the cosmos, stopping him from stepping into the rank he had aimed for all his life.
Hui Yue’s mind was reeling from the vast amount of laws which existed within the world as he finally understood. Cultivation was the road which he had embarked upon, yet to become a God, an immortal, was not something which only cultivators were seeking.
Immortals… The ones who lived forever. The ones who controlled the laws themselves.
As a cultivator, Hui Yue had carved the first steps within his journey to reach this goal, but he was still so weak that even the weakest law was far stronger than him. But a sudden thought sprouted within his mind as he realised that one did not have to be strong to reach immortality. One only needed to have comprehension far above the normal person. Even a newborn child could become immortal, had they fully understood the laws of the cosmos.
Meditating, Hui Yue felt a strength welling up inside. This strength was far different from any he had felt before, as it in no way increased his cultivation base; instead, the silvery sea within his middle dantian gained a slight hue of gold. It was as though the sea itself understood that Hui Yue’s comprehension had soared by leaps and bounds.
Hui Yue’s head hurt as the different laws entered his mind. Each law had a major law and within those existed multiple smaller laws. For instance, there was a law for the water element, but at the same time another law existed for the flow of water, and a separate one for the rain, the lakes, and the seas.
Even though Hui Yue was truly trying to grasp the knowledge which was flowing through his mind, he had a hard time understanding it and some of it became vague. What was not vague was the knowledge that everything within this world consisted of laws, and that the laws were created by Gods, who could in turn break them.
These laws were unlike humans, but they were still living creatures, which would survive as long as the world created by the gods was standing. These laws were far older than even Lan Feng!
Opening his eyes, Hui Yue looked confused as he saw Deng Wu, Sha Yun, and Wang Ju Long all sitting across from him. None of them were meditating; instead, they all observed him intently. A knowing smile was seen on their faces, and Hui Yue could not mask the confusion which spread across his face.
This was not the first time that he had suddenly stopped doing other things for the sake of enlightenment, yet it somehow seemed as though they were treating it differently.
“What’s wrong?” Hui Yue finally blurted out, as his curiosity got the better of him. His body was sore from being seated in the same position for a long time, and he slowly rose to his feet, stretching as though he had never moved before. His entire body was shivering from unused energy, as both his spiritual energy sea and his Qi spiral were bursting with energy, overflowing as though they had not been used for weeks.
“Took your sweet time, huh?” Deng Wu asked with a brilliant smile on his face, causing Hui Yue to frown slightly. Having been so absorbed with the enlightenment of the laws, Hui Yue had completely lost track of time and he had no clue how long had passed.
Seeing the confused expression, Sha Yun instantly felt sorry for Hui Yue, and she slithered next to him, gently massaging his shoulders. “You have been gone for three days,” she said dangerously close to Hui Yue’s ear allowing for her snake-like tongue to slither in the air right next to the young man.
Hui Yue instantly wrested himself free from the gentle grip of Sha Yun and sent her a warning glare, yet the snake-woman paid no heed, as she was observing her nails instead.
Seeing that he was getting nowhere with the snake-woman, Hui Yue let out a sigh before he paid attention to what she had said. He raised an
