Chapter 359: Law of Assimilation (2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Upon entering Cheng Feng Academy, Lu Yuan immediately noticed that the crowd was divided into two groups.

On one side were unfamiliar cultivators in white robes, while on the other side were cultivators from Cheng Feng Academy dressed in various outfits.

At this moment, tensions were high between the two groups, and they were exchanging crude words with each other.

It seemed like a quarrel between market vendors in the mortal world.

However, Lu Yuan quickly realized that the situation was more complex than it seemed.

This was because the thing that the two sides were arguing about was not an ordinary thing, but the way of the heavens of Heaven and Earth.

This reminded Lu Yuan of what Wang Ye had mentioned to him earlier.

If he recalled correctly, these people before him should be members of the legendary Knowledge Research Institute.

Different from the carefree appearance of Cheng Feng Academy’s disciples, the Knowledge Research Institute not only appeared more organized, but each person was holding various peculiar magical items and instruments.

While the disciples from Cheng Feng Academy and the Knowledge Research Institute engaged in Dao discussions, the two academy principals on the elevated platform displayed a harmonious relationship.

They paid no attention to the heated disputes among the disciples below, instead focusing on discussing the issues they had encountered over the past century.

This was normal. The higher a cultivator’s cultivation, the more they realized their insignificance.

Although Cheng Feng Academy and the Knowledge Research Institute had opposing theories, there were also theories that could mutually benefit each other.

The Hundred-Year Dao discussion was meant to stimulate the disciples’ minds, enhancing their creativity.

As for some disciples whose Dao hearts collapsed due to their weak mentalities during this process, it was considered an acceptable loss.

“The Dao of Lightning should aim for greater power. Diminishing the power of the Dao of Lightning and prioritizing its stability within magical items is a distortion of priorities.”

“Heh, don’t make me laugh. The fact that you can utter such words implies that you haven’t grasped the essence of the Dao of Lightning.”

“Typically, cultivators employ spiritual energy as an energy source to perform various methods. However, 1 don’t see it that way. After all, spiritual energy is too mild.”

“Moreover, I’ve always believed that cultivators shouldn’t only seek their benefit. That would be excessively selfish. True cultivators should carry the world in their hearts. The puppet I’ve developed can enable a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator to exhibit strength on par with a Core Formation Stage cultivator.”

“What’s crucial is that this method can be mass-produced. You country bumpkins from Cheng Feng Academy, do you comprehend the implications of mass-producing mechanical puppets?”

Listening to their discussion, Lu Yuan was astounded.

This guy had developed a bit of industrial consciousness.

Previously, Lu Yuan had wondered why cultivators, with their considerable power, didn’t explore methods to enhance productivity.

After all, increased productivity meant a larger population, and thus, more cultivators could be born.

However, Lu Yuan gradually learned that while the quantity of lower-level cultivators didn’t matter much to top cultivators, the quantity of high-level cultivators was worth pondering.

Or more accurately, cultivators above the Apotheosis Stage.

At present, there was almost a one-to-one correspondence. Many powerful Laws of Heaven and Earth were crowded with people.

Extracting benefits from this population was undoubtedly extremely challenging.

As time went on, this situation would only become more dire.

Tens of thousands of years later, breaking through the Apotheosis Stage might require pulling down another cultivator before it could be achieved.

Of course, cultivators could also choose to enter the land of chaos to find ownerless worlds for fusion.

In summary, top cultivators had always intentionally controlled the number of other top cultivators.

As for the present Lu Yuan, he was already close to entering the Apotheosis Stage.

Because at this moment, he had grasped the “assimilation” Laws of Heaven and Earth from the jade tree.

This kind of Law of Heaven and Earth was very special. It wasn’t specifically used for attack. Rather, it was a unique law that significantly improved a cultivator’s survival rate.

For instance, Lu Yuan, with the “assimilation” law, could transform himself into an existence suited to a specific world when he entered certain unique worlds in the future.

Moreover, Lu Yuan still possessed the special cultivation technique, the Primordial Innate Qi Technique.

With the special technique in hand, he could perfectly replicate the divine abilities and Dharma Idols of other cultivators.

The ongoing Dao discussion was undeniably an excellent learning opportunity for him.

During these discussions, many cultivators showcased the heavens and Dharma Idols they had comprehended.

Lu Yuan readily embraced this opportunity and discreetly absorbed their teachings.

In fact, some of the Dharma Idols he acquired might even surpass those of their original creators in power.

And so, Lu Yuan silently traversed between different Dao discussion sites, covertly assimilating valuable insights.

Well, the word “steal” wasn’t appropriate for cultivators, after all.

Meanwhile, within the land of chaos, in the Blizzard Realm.

“Elder Fang, the Blizzard Realm we discovered not long ago lies ahead. However, for unknown reasons, the heavens within this small world have suddenly begun to seal off our perception. Although we desire to understand what’s transpiring, we find ourselves unable to penetrate the heavens’s barrier. Thus, we’ve had no choice but to summon you here.”

Fang Hao nodded, his excitement evident as he gazed at the nearby Blizzard Realm.

This small world held the promise of substantial gains for him.

As an elder of the Speed Star Sword Domain, he knew he wouldn’t be able to monopolize the Blizzard Realm.

Still, even if he merely secured a portion of the benefits, it would be a highly favorable outcome.

With determination, Fang Hao addressed the Speed Star Sword Domain female cultivator at his side. “Stay here. I’ll venture inside and investigate.”

“Okay.”

After employing certain special techniques, Fang Hao successfully entered the Blizzard Realm.

The world truly lived up to its name, as snow blanketed every inch of the landscape.

When he had crossed the realm’s boundary earlier, Fang Hao had sensed that something was amiss.

He discerned that the world’s grade hadn’t yet reached the point where he needed to break the cocoon and be reborn.

However, the Heavenly Dao of the realm was currently in the process of breaking free from its cocoon.

What did this signify?

It suggested that some unknown event had occurred within this world.

Had a supremely powerful race appeared, prompting the realm to advance along with it?

Alternatively, could it be the emergence of an exceedingly formidable expert?

Regardless of the answer, Fang Hao’s unease grew.

Initially, he believed that the strongest entities in the Blizzard Realm would be at the Nascent Soul stage.

Yet, as soon as he entered, he realized the realm’s level had already reached the Nascent Soul Stage’s pinnacle.

Despite being an Apotheosis Stage cultivator, his cultivation would be substantially suppressed in such a foreign world.

His actual strength in this realm was akin to the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul stage.

This vulnerable state made him apprehensive.

With this in mind, Fang Hao didn’t intend to be careless.

From his storage bag, he retrieved a special pill and ingested it.

As the pill dissolved in his mouth, the repulsion by the heavens around him notably subsided.

Once assured of the absence of immediate danger, Fang Hao cautiously began exploring the vicinity.

Unbeknownst to him, beneath his feet on the plain, an immense figure was moving at astonishing speed through the ice-covered terrain.

It was none other than a legendary dragon.

Its aura had already reached the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul stage.

Dragons of the same level generally had the upper hand against cultivators.

However, this Ice Crystal Dragon seemed to be pondering something. Rather than immediately attacking Fang Hao, it trailed him from a distance.

As Fang Hao surveyed his surroundings, he furrowed his brows.

A sensation alerted him that something was covertly observing him.

This unsettling feeling, akin to being watched intently, gripped him.

However, no matter how intently he searched, the entity that was spying on him remained elusive….
