CHAPTER 1396: CHAPTER 1396: MIDDLE STAGE OF LAW

"Junior Brother, this is your residence, what do you think about it?"

Xue Bing led Xu Nian to a courtyard and said with a smile.

It has to be said, this courtyard is quite large, with all the necessary amenities.

Within the courtyard, there is also a blocking formation that can isolate Immortal Consciousness below the Immortal Sovereign level, and even if an Immortal Sovereign wants to enter the courtyard, they must get his consent first.

This made Xu Nian very satisfied.

"Very nice, thank you, Brother Xue." Xu Nian said with a smile.

"As long as you’re satisfied, I live next door to you, feel free to ask if you need anything. By the way, has Lin Hengxin told you about the three major testing grounds?" Xue Bing asked.

Xu Nian nodded, "Yes, he has!"

"You can try the Supreme Tower when you have time, but for the Duel Arena and the Emperor Platform, it’s better not to touch them for now. Although there are many tasks over there at the Task Hall with rich rewards, I have some suggestions for you." Xue Bing said earnestly.

"Please go ahead, Brother Xue!" Xu Nian replied seriously.

"Although these tasks can provide you with more practice, practice is a great waste of time. So unless you hit a bottleneck, it’s best not to take on tasks. Besides, cultivation is not important, the insight cultivation into laws is your true strength." Xue Bing said.

Xu Nian nodded.

"Do you know why many talented experts, who can clearly break through to the Immortal King Realm, haven’t done so?" Xue Bing asked.

Xu Nian shook his head.

"It’s because, below the Immortal King Realm, the insight into Heaven and Earth Laws is more sensitive compared to above the Immortal King Realm. It’s easier to harmonize with Heaven and Earth, so many strive to improve their insight cultivation before reaching the Immortal King Realm. Your talent is only Yellow-level Top Grade. To be honest, this rating is really a bit low, and you need to make up for it with effort," Xue Bing said earnestly.

"Thank you, Brother Xue, I’ll remember." Xu Nian nodded seriously.

He could feel Xue Bing’s goodwill.

Seeing Xu Nian say this, Xue Bing said no more and turned away, leaving Xu Nian’s residence.

"Master, is it true that below the Immortal King Realm is more sensitive to the Heaven and Earth Laws than above?" Xu Nian asked Emperor Ye Tian in his heart.

This concept was something he was hearing for the first time.

"He’s right, above the Immortal King Realm indeed has less comprehension ability compared to below. Although the gap is not large, there is a slight difference because upon reaching the Immortal King Realm, one will be locked by the Heavenly Dao, subtly blocking some perception of Heaven and Earth Laws." Emperor Ye Tian said.

Xu Nian understood.

He didn’t expect there to be such a saying.

It seems that the main focus of the next cultivation is within law comprehension.

Thinking of this, Xu Nian directly summoned a sharp sword, trying to mobilize the Extreme Point Principle.

A sword thrusts out, the void instantly ripples.

Extreme Point Penetration!

He could perform it effortlessly.

But Xu Nian still felt it wasn’t enough.

"Buzz!"

Another sword slashed out.

Extreme Point Annihilation Divine Slash!

The ultimate sharpness burst forth from the sword’s tip.

Although it didn’t contain any Immortal Essence, the formed Sword Qi was still incredibly terrifying.

"This sword is tyrannical, but something still feels off." Xu Nian frowned slightly.

He felt the power of his Extreme Point Annihilation Divine Slash could still be improved.

Yet he didn’t know how to improve it.

"Since I don’t know, I can only use the dumbest method, try again and again." Xu Nian murmured to himself.

Then he started continuously waving his sword.

One sword!

Two swords!

Ten swords!

A hundred swords!

Ten thousand swords!

Xu Nian continued to swing his sword, then swing again.

He switched from a top-grade immortal sword to a wooden sword.

He found that using a wooden sword to perform the Extreme Point Annihilation Divine Slash was significantly less powerful than with the top-grade immortal sword.

This was completely unreasonable.

The application of Law True Intent should be unrelated to the material of the weapon.

"Fool, practicing like this, you’ll never comprehend it in your lifetime, you’re not even in the right direction, how can you succeed?"

Just as Xu Nian was troubled, Emperor Ye Tian’s scolding echoed.

"Please, Master, guide me!" Xu Nian humbly asked for advice.

"Do you know what a law is?" Emperor Ye Tian asked.

"The operational rules of the elements of Heaven and Earth are natural laws." Xu Nian said.

"Hmph, that’s your understanding?" Emperor Ye Tian sneered.

"Master, is that not correct?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

What he said was not wrong!

"The laws being the operational rules of the elements of Heaven and Earth is correct, but do you know why the elements of Heaven and Earth operate?" Emperor Ye Tian asked with a cold snort.

This question left Xu Nian dumbfounded.

He truly did not know why Heaven and Earth Laws operate.

"You figure it out on your own, when you understand this question, you’ll know how to cultivate next." Emperor Ye Tian said.

Xu Nian said no more and began to contemplate the question posed by Emperor Ye Tian.

In the courtyard, Xu Nian held a wooden sword, sat on the steps, pondering the question.

Why do the elements of Heaven and Earth operate?

This question, he had indeed never considered before.

Now that he thinks about it, he indeed only knew the surface, not the underlying cause.

So, pondering over it took a month.

For a whole month, Xu Nian sat on the steps without moving.

Even dust settled on his body.

If someone saw this scene, they would definitely think Xu Nian was dead.

"I got it!"

Suddenly, Xu Nian’s eyes lit up.

He abruptly stood up from the steps.

Saying this, Xu Nian swung the wooden sword in his hand.

A sword thrust out, and the huge rock beside him was instantly penetrated into a sieve.

"As expected!"

Looking at the densely packed sword holes on the giant rock, Xu Nian’s mouth revealed a satisfied smile.

"The reason the elements of Heaven and Earth operate is due to ’momentum,’ and the development similarly possesses its own ’momentum’!" Xu Nian said with a smile.

Just now, he had integrated the momentum into the move.

The moment the sword thrusts out.

The terrifying penetration power no longer just burst from the sword tip, but from all directions around the space.

Hence, the giant rock was covered with densely packed sword holes.

With such a thrust, the opponent cannot resist.

"This is the true Extreme Point Penetration, I’ll name it Thousand Blade Kill." Xu Nian said with a smile.

Then he started trying to integrate the momentum into the Extreme Point Annihilation Divine Slash.

However, he failed.

Obviously, his control over momentum was still inadequate.

But Xu Nian wasn’t discouraged; now he had a direction.

As long as he kept trying, there would eventually be a day of comprehension.

Time passed little by little.

A full three years.

Xu Nian was completely immersed in mastering momentum.

"Thousand Blade Slash!"

Xu Nian shouted, and wielded the wooden sword to slash out.

In an instant, the giant rock in front was sliced into countless pieces.

Extreme cutting, attacks from all directions, there was nowhere to hide.

Now, Xu Nian had somewhat comprehended momentum.

"I suppose I’ve broken through to the Middle Stage of Law." Xu Nian looked at his results, his eyes showing a joyful expression.

Momentum is the insight of the middle stage of Law.

"It’s time to venture into the Supreme Tower." Xu Nian looked towards the towering giant tower at the center of Floating City, his eyes carrying a hint of anticipation.

He wondered if he could make it through the first level.
