Chapter 273: Chapter 137: Arms Like Pillars of Heaven
Jian Ruyu looked at Lu Yi, then at the Sword Heart Fruit in his hand, his expression complicated, “…The treasure you wanted to show me is this?”
Lu Yi nodded, “Yes, that’s right.”
Creak…
Grinding his teeth, Jian Ruyu spoke in a low voice, “Then why did you bring me to this room and arrange such complex Array Patterns?!”
Lu Yi said, “This is the Sword Heart Fruit, a treasure so precious, naturally we need to be cautious. What if other people saw it?”
Jian Ruyu’s face turned rigid, and he was at a loss for words for a moment.
Lu Yi handed the Sword Heart Fruit to Jian Ruyu, saying, “Senior sister, you should refine the Sword Heart Fruit carefully; I’ll be leaving now.”
Jian Ruyu calmed down, looked at the Sword Heart Fruit in his hand, then at Lu Yi, and said with a resigned smile, “Hmm, junior brother, be careful on your way.”
Lu Yi nodded; he turned and left the room, closing the door behind him.
After one last glance at Ruyu Hall, Lu Yi turned and left, transforming into a streak of sword light, flying out of Divine Sword Sect.
After leaving Divine Sword Sect, Lu Yi did not rush back. He first distanced himself from the area where Divine Sword Sect was located, came to a desolate mountain range, found a cave for himself, then set up an incredibly complex set of Array Patterns to create a hidden place for seclusion.
He had not forgotten that among his rewards was an Immortal Law Fragment, which he intended to absorb before returning.
Lu Yi chose to receive his reward. Suddenly, a mysterious and indescribable qi appeared in his mind, and Lu Yi only saw an intricately complex Tao Pattern floating within his Sea of Consciousness.
All sorts of realizations washed over Lu Yi’s mind.
This was about the Immortal Law, explaining a truth of this world and heaven.
Under the influence of the Law Fragment, Lu Yi felt as if he had passed through endless eons. He witnessed the birth and death of stars, the cycle of all things, everything having an end, but a glimmer of his True Spirit remained eternally unperishable.
All things perish, but I alone am immortal.
Lu Yi’s physical body sat cross-legged, as if it had existed since ancient times.
Inside his Dantian, the Nascent Soul was surrounded by Tao Light of profound mystery, and the Immortal Law Fragment stirred Lu Yi’s Tao Me, triggering an outburst of his inherent Tao Nature.
His Nascent Soul was entirely condensed from the Tao, possessing unfathomable mystery.
Tao Sound resonated, complementing the Immortal Law with the enigmatic Tao Light emerging around Lu Yi.
The Tao Light shimmered with brilliance, containing Array Patterns so complex that a mere glance could drive a mortal mad and end their life; all of the patterns concerned the truth of immortality.
Chaotic energy also flowed between the Tao Light, with stars twinkling within.
A formidable pressure was released, becoming a fierce wind that swept out in all directions.
The Array Patterns Lu Yi had laid out around him flickered, countering the dreadful pressure and keeping the entire space serene.
If not for Lu Yi’s foresight while experiencing Enlightenment, perhaps the entire mountain range would have been shaken.
Amidst such anomalies, Lu Yi’s body flickered with a faint golden glow, his black hair dancing, each strand glossy and lustrous, making him seem like a divine being, radiating mysterious power.
When a cultivator comprehends a Law, it signifies a certain will of the heavens and earth, and to mortals, it is like a divine being.
Time passed, and it took a full month for Lu Yi to completely assimilate the fragment of the Immortal Law, whereupon he slowly opened his eyes.
As Lu Yi opened his eyes, the anomalies that surrounded him gradually dissipated, and his dark pupils flickered with complex and profound Immortal Tao Patterns, his demeanor reminiscent of a Banished Immortal.
Lu Yi’s expression was very calm. After assimilating a strand of the Law, Lu Yi understood that he had undergone a tremendous change.
Normally, only an Immortal could perceive the power of a Law, and the transformation it brought him was significant.
With a thought, a flash of sword light passed, and a deep wound appeared on his arm, deep enough to see bone.
The next moment, Immortal Tao Patterns flickered in his eyes, and the blood flowing from the wound slowly reversed its course, and the wound healed in an instant.
The Immortal Intent made his flesh nearly imperishable.
Such terrifying regenerative ability, even cultivators at the Mahayana or even the Tribulation Transcendence Realm might not achieve.
Beyond that, he could apply the Immortal Law to anything; once the Law was invoked, whether it was Arts or a Cultivation Technique, everything would undergo a tremendous transformation, carrying the true intent of immortality.
Lu Yi began to understand slightly how the previous Immortal had restored the shattered body of the Resentful Corpse to human form and even awakened its lingering obsession.
This was the application of the Immortal Law.
However, Lu Yi’s current understanding of the Immortal Law was very superficial, having only perceived a mere strand, so he naturally couldn’t do something similar to that Immortal. Even so, it was still a significant improvement for Lu Yi himself.
Lu Yi even began to consider integrating the Immortal Law into his Cultivation Skills to create even more profound techniques.
Nevertheless, this would take some time to refine, so Lu Yi was not in a hurry.
After absorbing the Immortal Law Fragment, Lu Yi left the secluded place and continued flying towards the White Cloud Sect.
On the way, Lu Yi passed several cities where he inquired about any major events that might have happened recently.
After all, with the Immortal from the Immortal Sword Sect out and the arrival of Immortals from the Holy Lands of the Immortal Sects, it felt like the calm before a storm.
Lu Yi quickly found out the situation.
Indeed, big events had occurred in this past month.
