Chapter 669: Humble Seeking of Instruction, the First Sudden Insight

Especially this time, with an outsider strongman trying to take over the ancient Shenlong City, this sense of urgency became even stronger.

He also wants to become stronger; only by becoming stronger can he handle various crises. After spending a little less than half a day in the White God Courtyard and chatting with Li Xueru for a long time, it was a rare relaxation for Jiang Chen.

Half a day later, accompanied by a flash of light, Jiang Chen left the White God Courtyard. Li Xueru, watching Jiang Chen depart, let out a sigh when the teleportation light completely vanished, "This kid seems to be bearing a lot."

Although Jiang Chen said nothing, the aura he exuded allowed Li Xueru to keenly sense it.

But Li Xueru didn't ask; he knew Jiang Chen's temperament.

If it could be said, Jiang Chen would certainly speak.

If it couldn't be said, there was no need to ask further.

Unconsciously, Jiang Chen's knowledge kept growing, seemingly surpassing even his role as a teacher.

At that moment, the Communicator vibrated, and a message arrived. After Li Xueru checked it, his expression changed slightly; Shenlong Tower instantly materialized, the law was swiftly cast, the Teleportation Array was set up in an instant, and it whisked Li Xueru away.

Antares looked at Jiang Chen curiously, "Did you feel the delay? Jiang Chen activated Antares's Dragon Scale and teleported to Antares's territory,"

Antares had no way at all to deal with Jiang Chen, this uninvited guest.

Who gave the Dragon Scale? It was its own doing, its own sin, and it must bear the consequences even while crying.

Jiang Chen said, "I've discovered a very strange issue." Hearing this, Antares suddenly became animated, "What issue?"

"You ask, before Level 96, is it possible to command the law?"

He asked.

Antares glared at Jiang Chen, "Change your wording, don't trap me with my own words; I don't like this."

This dragon… its temper is getting worse.

Jiang Chen switched his phrasing. "Earlier, while observing the competition of Kunlun Snow Vegetable King's growth and division, I seemed to have entered a special state.

My soul's level rose a bit, and I brushed against a trace of the law." Antares tapped his big head, "Now that makes sense. Remember this, just say it like that, no beating around the bush."

It was truly caught off guard by Jiang Chen's traps, unintentionally saying things it shouldn't.

Jiang Chen asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

Antares chuckled. "Of course I know; there's nothing in this world I don't know. Do you really want to know?"

Antares started bragging again, but in fact, there weren't many things it didn't know.

Jiang Chen said, "I want to know."

Antares smiled broadly, "Since you asked sincerely, I'll now tell you with great feeling."

Jiang Chen realized that Antares had truly gone bad; its heart was beyond saving.

Those who stay near ink become black; is that really the case?

The question is, am I that black myself?

Antares assumed a stance, like a teacher lecturing. "Your condition is called a subtle epiphany; in an epiphany state, the soul is elevated, and you can grasp many profound truths.

An epiphany cannot be forced; many go a whole life without ever experiencing one. You're lucky."

"The laws you've touched may have been comprehended during an epiphany." "But an epiphany is only a key; the rest still depends on you." Jiang Chen listened to Antares's words: "So the law doesn't have to be mastered only at Level 96?"

"Of course, who ever told you the law must be mastered at Level 96? It's just that at Level 96 the soul is stronger, naturally encountering the law. Moreover, a Level 96 soul finds it easier to comprehend the law."

Antares spoke with disdain; its words completely overturned Jiang Chen's previous understanding.

Jiang Chen finally knew that the law does not have to…

…be mastered.

His self‑righteous common sense turned out to be wrong.

Antares chuckled, "You Human Race folks love setting thresholds for yourselves—how many levels before you can do this, how many before you can learn that."

Antares swore, and Jiang Chen found it somewhat amusing; where did this guy get such a big grudge?

From its words, Jiang Chen sensed that it held a certain disdain for the Human Race's rules.

But many rules seem to involve the Human Race of other worlds.

After it seemed satisfied, Jiang Chen continued, "So, I actually have a chance to comprehend the law now, but the Difficulty is very high."

"High Difficulty is only one aspect."

Antares refuted Jiang Chen, "Commanding the law requires a soul's support; if the soul's strength is insufficient, forcing the law can cause minor injury at best, or soul annihilation at worst.

Level 96 is a threshold, just enough to reach the point where one can command the law."

"You said the Human Race's thresholds are nonsense, so why now claim Level 96 is just qualified?" Jiang Chen seized the inconsistency in Antares's words; what Antares said before differed from what it said now.

Antares, of course, would not admit it, "Level 96 is indeed the law's threshold, but using it occasionally doesn't strictly require Level 96."

"Among the Dragon Race we have many methods; at Level 90 we can already use the law, as long as it's not constant, the impact is minor."

Jiang Chen let out a light hum, "You said it's a Dragon Race method; I'm Human Race, so it's different."

Antares said, "There are several methods that the Human Race can also use." "Impossible, that can't be," Jiang Chen replied skeptically. Antares chuckled, "One method is the Soul‑splitting technique, which splits the soul…"

At that point, Antares suddenly snapped back, letting out a roar.

"You brat, you're trapping me again,"

"Caught by you." Jiang Chen, brazen, didn't mind that his earlier act hadn't been wasted; Antares was fooled again.

Antares was very frustrated; even though it had been careful, it still got duped.

In a muffled voice, "You Human Race are full of ghostly scheming."

Jiang Chen laughed, "Since you've already said it, go on—what is the Soul‑splitting method?"

Antares glared at Jiang Chen, "Why should I tell you?"

Jiang Chen wasn't in a hurry, "Don't be so petty, Lord Antares knows everything; a Soul‑splitting method can't be that big a deal."

"Pfft, that's a technique, not some common street skill." At this point, Antares shut up again, realizing it had perhaps misspoken.

Jiang Chen seized the key point and smiled even brighter.

Antares indeed knew a great deal, including much knowledge that didn't belong to this world.

Jiang Chen felt that from now on, whenever he had nothing to do, he should come here to chat with Antares—he was bound to dig up something.

Antares suddenly had a bad feeling, as if he had been targeted.
