Chapter 755: The Way of the Law Net, The Path of Shan Xuan Huang Cultivation (Combined)

Tribulation Fate Dao Mark!

In the instant his heart-sea trembled, Li Yuan had already recognized that Dao Mark, identical to the one corresponding to the Tribulation Fate Sage on the Three Teachings' Rank Diagram.

'So this is the bestowal of the talisman?'

As the thought stirred in Li Yuan's heart, that Dao Mark fell into his heart-sea.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar exploded within his soul; even though Li Yuan had been prepared, his divine soul still trembled violently.

In a trance, the world in his perception suddenly transformed; beneath the void, countless divine marks surged forth, crisscrossing and interweaving, bearing all things of heaven and earth.

With the support of the Army Talisman, Li Yuan had glimpsed a corner of the divine marks even before entering the Dao, but what he saw now was completely different.

In his perception, the intricate and boundless divine marks interwove with each other in a way he could not yet understand, constructing a massive divine net that encompassed all existence and was omnipresent!

"So this is the Law Net?"

As this thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind, Yu Yu Xuanji, he shifted his perception; with the support of the Command Talisman, his perception instantly rose several levels.

"Vroom~"

Within the heart-sea, that Tribulation Fate Dao Mark trembled and roared.

Through this Dao Mark, Li Yuan's perception rose infinitely, or rather, plunged into a deeper abyss.

He saw Yue Yue Xingchuan with furrowed brows, saw Yang Yang Zhengsi leaving the temple quickly with joy on his face, and saw the full expanse of this Cloud Archipelago.

He saw the mountains and the earth beneath the gale-cloud sea, now quite distant.

Boundless divine marks interwove and bore all things of heaven and earth; under Li Yuan's gaze, the divine marks seemed chaotic yet actually operated in an orderly fashion.

That Law Net, through these omnipresent divine marks, covered the entire heaven and earth; no matter how remote or minute the place, it was all under the coverage of this great net.

"This Law Net..."

Li Yuan suddenly looked around and gazed into the distance, yet he only felt that the Law Net radiated deeply; even with his utmost vision, he could only glimpse a corner.

"Vroom~"

The trembling within the heart-sea became even more violent.

Li Yuan's heart was suddenly enlightened, and his will instantly fell into that Tribulation Fate Dao Mark.

Then, the infinitely vast Law Net instantly collapsed and shrank; the heaven and earth he could perceive also shrank by countless billions of times in proportion.

Then, he saw a great net that was even more vivid and clear.

This net was entirely brilliant gold, formed by countless 'golden threads' crisscrossing and interlacing; where he stood now was within one of these 'meshes', and there were countless similar meshes, looking endless.

"Every mesh represents a Ci Yuan Shi Fa Jie, and all the meshes combined make up the complete Shan Xuan Huang Great World..."

A realization rose in Li Yuan's heart, and he gazed with even greater focus.

The Law Net was glowing; every node where countless golden threads crossed was glowing, and amidst the interweaving of countless divine lights, various figures seemed to faintly appear.

These figures dwelt upon the nodes of the Law Net, like countless mosquitoes caught in a giant spider web, or as if they were part of the Law Net itself.

"The Law Net has nine layers, corresponding to the nine ranks of the Law Net..."

Li Yuan looked upward.

The Law Net was not laid flat, but divided into upper and lower nine layers in an extremely mysterious way, resembling a golden giant tower that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

From bottom to top, countless cultivators dwelt upon the nodes of each layer; by the sixth layer, the number sharply decreased, and by the seventh layer, there were no longer nodes.

Instead, there were twelve golden divine statues that could not be looked upon directly and could not be fathomed!

"Twelve Jin Xian!"

Li Yuan wanted to look higher, but felt a sharp pain in his brow, instantly falling out of this wondrous state.

"Woo~"

On the high platform in the center of the lake, a gentle breeze seemed to blow Xu Xu.

An eye opened on Yue Yue Xingchuan's brow; under the shining divine light, faint golden threads could be seen falling into the lotus leaves, and upon that infant, a mysterious qi mechanism began to spread.

"He has entered the Dao."

Yue Yue Xingchuan was not surprised.

The Law Net is like the Great Dao; any cultivator who touches the Law Net, regardless of their aptitude or whether they understand cultivation, must be able to enter the Dao directly.

Let alone this Saint Spirit born extraordinary; if the Law Net did not govern the principles of all heavens, this child would have entered the Dao at the moment of his birth.

What made him curious was how many layers of the Law Net this infant saw during the bestowal of the talisman...

"Vroom~"

Heaven and earth's spiritual qi, seeming to exist and not exist, gathered on the high platform in the center of the lake.

Under Yue Yue Xingchuan's gaze, that infant grew with the wind; in but a moment, he had grown into the appearance of a boy of twelve or thirteen.

That lotus leaf then transformed into a Qing Se Fa robe, covering his body.

"Can he open his spirit?"

Yue Yue Xingchuan asked aloud.

The Sword Lotus Body looked around in confusion, naturally giving no answer; even if his spirit had opened, having been born only a day ago, he could not possibly understand language.

"I forgot you were just born."

Yue Yue Xingchuan seemed to have truly forgotten; he formed a hand seal and said:

"Law Net Fifth Rank, Yue Yue Xingchuan, bestow upon this person the language of the Ling Miao Realm through 'crown anointing'..."

"Vroom~"

Li Yuan's perception was keen; the moment Yue Yue Xingchuan's words fell, he sensed the Tribulation Fate Dao Mark in his heart-sea tremble, and then, various pieces of information surged into his mind.

The written language and speech of the Ling Miao Realm, the distribution of powers, local customs, and the many rules of the Three Saint Teachings and the Tribulation Fate Teaching...

Extremely complex, yet in but an instant, Li Yuan understood it all in his heart, as if he had lived in this realm for decades.

"How many layers of the Law-Net did you just glimpse?"

Yue Yue Xingchuan asked.

"I..."

The voice of the Sword Lotus Body was hoarse: "Seven layers."

"As expected..."

Though he had anticipated it, hearing it spoken aloud, Yue Yue Xingchuan still could not help but feel a tremor in his heart:

"The Law-Net favors you!"

The Law-Net is omnipresent, yet its order is extremely strict.

One can only glimpse one layer of the Law-Net at the First Rank of the Law-Net; only those who hope for the Second Rank can glimpse two layers. He has guarded this realm for thousands of years, and only recently did he glimpse six layers of the Law-Net.

Yet this Saint Spirit, having just been born, can actually glimpse seven layers of the Law-Net.

In the Shan Xuan Huang World, such cultivators are also called the 'Quasi-Immortal Sequence,' and they are qualified to receive the Jin Xian fruit position.

The Sword Lotus Body did not respond.

"Someone come."

After a moment of silence, Yue Yue Xingchuan summoned a maid and said, "Arrange a residence for him. As for all treatments, follow the Law-Net Third Rank."

"The Law-Net Third Rank?"

The maid was startled in her heart. The order of the Law-Net is strict; those who can receive stipends by surpassing a rank are extremely rare.

But soon she collected her thoughts, bowed deeply in agreement, and Yu Yu Xuanji led the Sword Lotus Body out of this Three Saints Temple.

On the way, the Sword Lotus Body, like a newborn infant, looked left and right, showing great curiosity about everything, while the maid introduced each thing to him one by one.

This maid's name is Qing Hong, a Third Realm cultivator, First Rank of the Law-Net. According to her own words, she has already seen hope of advancing to the Second Rank.

Li Yuan only listened and asked no questions, perfectly fitting his current identity.

A newborn infant, even if born extraordinary, could not possibly understand human affairs and worldly wisdom.

The maid did not mind, pointing down at the island and saying:

"This group of floating islands is named 'Ling Miao Island,' sharing the same name as our world. The altars of the Three Saints Sect are all located here; we are currently at the Calamity Fate Altar..."

Li Yuan followed the sound and looked, and indeed saw the same two Three Saints Temples in the other two places.

"Our three teachings are one family; no matter which world we are in, the altars are together."

Qing Hong explained as she led the way.

Li Yuan listened quietly, while digesting what he had just seen and heard.

When he personally glimpsed that Law-Net, he finally understood why Qin Qian was so awestruck; even he felt a tremor in his heart.

This Law-Net is not merely as simple as monitoring heaven and earth...

"We have arrived."

At this moment, Qing Hong stopped, pointed to a small courtyard located at the edge of the floating island, and said, "According to the rules, only cultivators of the Law-Net Third Rank may reside where the altar is located."

"Hall Master Yue values you highly."

Qing Hong was very envious.

She had served as a maid at the altar for over a hundred years and still only had the First Rank of the Law-Net; even with several hundred more years, she would not be qualified to live on the floating island where the altar is located.

"Oh."

The Sword Lotus Body pushed the door open and entered, then Yu Yu Xuanji closed the door.

"You..."

Qing Hong could not help but stomp her foot, turned around, and left.

Except for being situated ten thousand feet in the sky, this small courtyard was no different from the small courtyard in Heishan City. Li Yuan casually glanced around and sat down right there.

The Sword Lotus Body was nurtured by spiritual roots and naturally would not find the ground dirty.

"Calamity Fate, Law-Net..."

Li Yuan calmed his emotions and sorted through what he had gained.

Among the various messages Yue Yue Xingchuan had bestowed upon him through crown infusion, there was also information about the Law-Net; although very shallow, it was quite detailed.

Among them was the Shan Xuan Huang Xiu Xing Fa that he cared about most.

The Xiu Xing Fa of the Shan Xuan Huang Realm has only three steps.

The first step is 'Awakening Spirit and Bestowing Talisman,' which means receiving the Three Saints Talisman and touching the Law-Net; this is the beginning of entering the Dao.

The second step is to visualize the Law-Net; the more compatible one is with the Law-Net, the higher the rank of the Law-Net.

The third step is 'Crown Infusion.'

This step is the essence of cultivation in this realm and also the reason that caused him to feel terror.

"As long as the Law-Net rank is high enough and the Shan Xuan Huang Shan Gong is sufficient, one can communicate with the Law-Net and undergo crown infusion for cultivation... No matter what spells, Gong Fa, or fundamental methods, they can be comprehended to perfection instantly!"

Li Yuan felt a chill of dread.

Relying on the Law-Net, the cultivation method of the great Shan Xuan Huang World is utterly different from any Gui Xu Xiu Xing Fa he knew!

"No wonder there are few cultivators in the Shan Xuan Huang Realm. With the Law-Net Crown Infusion Great Method, if needed, the Three Saints could create countless cultivators with a mere thought..."

"But is this still cultivation?"

Li Yuan's emotions were very chaotic, and he was extremely wary: "Is this cultivating oneself, or cultivating the Law-Net?"

If the Law-Net can bestow crown infusion, can it also deprive?

"It must be able to!"

Feeling the Calamity Fate Talisman in his heart-sea, Li Yuan only felt relieved.

If he had not always prioritized caution, the one bestowed with the Calamity Fate Talisman at this moment would have been his original body.

"What exactly did the Yuan Ming Heavenly Lord do back then to cause the Three Saints of Shan Xuan Huang to create such a hair-raising thing..."

Li Yuan focused his spirit to sense.

With a single thought, the Tribulation-Dao patterns in his Heart Sea trembled, and a visualization diagram appeared in his mind—a web of law woven from endless divine patterns, nine tiers stacked like a pagoda.

This was the Web of Law visualization diagram, the fundamental Gong Fa that every cultivator of the Three Saints Cult had to practice.

"Lucky it's only an incarnation…"

Li Yuan steadied his emotions, gritted his teeth, and began visualizing the Web of Law.

"Hum~"

The Web of Law visualization diagram was far easier than he had imagined—almost the moment the thought stirred, a faint, indistinct Web of Law already manifested in his Heart Sea.

【Spirit-Miao Realm Cultivator】

【Web of Law: First Tier】

【Realm: First Realm, Dao Entry】

【Gong Fa: None】
