Chapter 400: Ascents of the Heavenly Path and Words of Red Heaven

Qi Lian’s Qilin Project is just one of the vast research initiatives within Tomorrow Nation.

In every field, talents are exerting their efforts. As the chief, Yun Ye only needs to wrack his brain on how to leverage their intelligence. Creating a fair and efficient system and environment is his main task.

Personal desires and self-fulfillment are the primary driving forces behind human progress. With the Dao Artifact in hand, Yun Ye does not fear deviations from his path and has delegated significant powers.

Simultaneously, the Dao Artifact Ceremony held every five years has trained more and more Dao Artifact wielders, who have grown to become the pillars of strength.

The original agents are gradually being replaced by cultivators who possess Dao Artifacts.

Today, Tomorrow Society is, without a doubt, thriving!

"Eleventh tier of the Heavenly Path…"

"Passed!"

In the haze, a woman crowned as an emperor stepped out.

She looked at Yun Ye beside her, her cold blue attire forcibly manifested by Tomorrow, as she gazed in shock at Red Heaven.

As a Dao Artifact, how could she be forcefully manifested by an outsider?

Red Heaven’s eyes showed a trace of confusion: “Have you already replaced your Dao Artifact wielder? But, you don’t seem to have any damage."

“Damage?” Yun Ye and Tomorrow both looked puzzled.

“The original Dao Artifact embodies the will of the entire path, and it is eternal. It simply decays… The faster the Dao Artifact wielder is replaced, the faster the decay occurs," Red Heaven replied slowly.

“Predecessor, what happens when a Dao Artifact decays?” Yun Ye quickly asked, having learned a lesson not to directly expose Red Heaven’s identity.

"A Dao Artifact never truly dies; it merely decays. Once decayed, it cannot fully resonate anymore. From ten percent, it gradually decreases to nine percent, eight percent, three percent, or even lower. The failed Dao will be abandoned by the human race’s fortune." Red Heaven explained.

“What? So, our ability to absorb Dao Artifacts of the same type without loss is because they aren’t decayed?” Yun Ye and Tomorrow exchanged glances.

This was a rule Tomorrow was also unaware of; she had never decayed and had not had the chance to notice.

“How rare it is, a Dao Artifact replacement that defies the laws of the world… I want to see your future.”

Red Heaven commented, pointing a finger, “The previous generation accepted my law and achieved remarkable feats. I hope this generation can also be useful.”

Red Heaven True Immortal Law, the first and second true meanings obtained.

Having completed all this, Red Heaven’s figure began to blur, about to disappear.

“Wait, Your Majesty Red Heaven? I want to know what exactly happened in human history and why the human world has been destroyed time and again!”

Yun Ye’s expression changed, and he shouted.

He did not ask Red Heaven if humans had ever been destroyed; instead, he directly asked why they were destroyed.

This was to prevent Red Heaven from knowing that he retained memories of the Heavenly Path, making judgments solely based on the various subtle clues in reality.

“The destruction of the human world? It is due to the great ritual. What resides in your consciousness is the key, and the cycle begins once again."

Red Heaven vanished, and this area began to crumble.

“My consciousness holds a key?”

Yun Ye stood frozen in place, suddenly feeling a chill throughout his body. The Gate of Heaven of the Crescent Moon truly gave him something incredible; what could it possibly be?

Soon, the Heavenly Path began to settle, allowing Yun Ye to temporarily set aside his worries.

“Eleventh tier of the Heavenly Path, completed.”

“Bloodline record—record completed, ascending bloodline fixed.”

“Please name the ascending bloodline—name completed, ascending surname: Ming Kong.”

“Would you like to make the bloodline factor public?”

“Make it public!”

“The bloodline factor has been transformed into a public state—status change completed, effect duration, one hundred years.”

『Ming Kong Bloodline Factor: Naturally possesses the Transforming Spiritual Law of the divine water-fire attribute fusion. They are favored by space, and there is a chance to awaken a Five-Color Rainbow Eye. Each color represents a randomly born ability. When combined, they will form an eye technique that can break the techniques of weaker opponents just by relying on the eye technique.』

Yun Ye could not help but show a reluctant smile.

The previous Silence bloodline factor has played a significant role in recent years. Among newborns, one in thirty with Water and Fire Spiritual Roots would awaken the Silence Spiritual Roots!

Although it seems small, as they grow and publicly reveal their bloodline factors, this proportion will steadily increase.

Unfortunately…

All of this requires time to develop. The moments of reincarnation are approaching, and while the Luo Dynasty does not have the qualification to participate, it will inevitably join the ranks of the final winners. At that time, the ruling Dao System will not tolerate Tomorrow Nation’s continued existence.

Not to mention, he still possesses the Mark of the Reflecting Moon, which is clearly something left behind after participating in the struggle for becoming a True Immortal. This might attract True Immortals to personally come and destroy the human world.

Thinking of this, Yun Ye’s expression darkened considerably.

He looked at the Mark of the Reflecting Moon in his hand.

From the power of this mark, he understood that if they were willing to take action, a high-level cultivator could easily sink the three provinces, let alone a True Immortal?

"Regardless, I am a reincarnator; I have no reason to retreat, especially with a force like the Gate of Heaven of the Crescent Moon laying down a backup plan for me!”

Yun Ye took a deep breath, suppressing the overwhelming despair within him. He inscribed the spirit patterns as ascent law, and then, white mist enveloped him as he exited the Heavenly Path.

A massive mental exhaustion weighed on his heart. Yun Ye took a spirit pill to recover his state.

Then, he continued his ascents!

With Yun Ye’s strength, passing through the first thirty tiers is hardly anything now. The twelfth tier was naturally passed very easily, but the effects of the twelfth tier left him quite astonished.

The first ten tiers of the Heavenly Path involved deducing the Origin Law.

The twelfth to the twentieth tiers, however, involve deducing the Spiritual Law.

While the Origin Law significantly enhances the spiritual body, the Spiritual Law is not weak either; the effects of powerful Spiritual Law enhancements are also considerable.

“The only issue is that Spiritual Law is different from the Origin Law and is not recorded in the Heavenly Path… How can I carry it outside without any memories?”

“I previously thought that after the eleventh tier, it was all about continuously strengthening the amplification effects of the eleventh tier, but turns out it’s about Spiritual Law deduction?”

“More precisely, cultivators cannot take memories out, and they have to give up on deducing Spiritual Law, so they choose to enhance the effects of ascent law instead!”

The eleventh tier of the Heavenly Path allows for the inscribing of ascent law, enabling the power of the law to be enhanced without limits. A single individual can fix an amplification of 10%, and it would take many generations to double the effects of ascent law.

But starting from the twelfth tier, by passing once, one can still increase that 10% number somewhat. Passing through nine tiers can increase by 10%, while passing all ten tiers means a 20% enhancement of the ascent law.

To be honest, that’s already an impressive number; doubling the effects of Spiritual Law in five generations saves half the cultivation time and doubles the power. The benefits are substantial; as long as there are no leaks, it’s a huge advantage…

Perhaps for most families, adjusting Spiritual Law is far less valuable than the enhancement from ascent law.

After all, just by changing a little, the effect of ascent law would disappear. Without the Mystic Realm, optimizing Spiritual Law is utterly meaningless.

According to the Nine Lives Spirit Law Classics, practitioners of the Mystic Realm possess immense power—not only in battles but also capable of intervening in the Heavenly Path, directly adjusting the original ascent law while preserving the enhancements and optimizing ascent law!

Higher-level cultivators can even bypass the Heavenly Path altogether and inscribe bloodline power into the world.

However, utilizing the Heavenly Path is somewhat easier; they have no reason to stray far from what is close.

But this also carries a risk—if the family’s Mystic Realm falls and there is no second Mystic Realm to take over, the entire family’s ascent law would fall from Mystic Heaven as well.

When Lan Wuyin’s Dao Artifact was destroyed, he almost fell into a rage. If that had happened, only his one Mystic Realm in the Dao System would have perished completely.

“Tomorrow Society does not have a Mystic Realm; we cannot adjust the already inscribed Standard Spirit Patterns. My only option for deduction is how to better utilize the Standard Spirit Patterns, right? Speaking of which, both Transforming Dark Eternal Silence and Five-Color Rainbow Eye are within the realm of Spiritual Law.”

Yun Ye chuckled.

It seems that when he returns, he needs to thoroughly review the research process for Transforming Dark Eternal Silence and Five-Color Rainbow Eye. The more information he gathers, the better the results of the Heavenly Path deduction will be!
