Chapter 161: New Rules and Strengthening of the Dao Tool
“You think too highly of me. Spirit Law is not all-powerful; it cannot deduce the truth at any time and place…”
“Sure enough, if it can’t trace the target, your goal is most likely dead or possesses a treasure that shields against Spirit Law.”
Liu Quan provided the conclusion.
“……”
Chao Shanhe remained silent, his face dark as he threw out a spatial ring and then turned to leave.
Even with Liu Quan standing right in front of him, there were no signs of weakness.
After all, Chao Shanhe was truly angry this time.
The treasures of the Secret Realm, the potential treasure tools, the Fusion Secret Techniques of Spiritual Roots—everything was gone!
He was really suppressing his fury, with no hint of pretense.
…
In the Moon Ring Secret Realm.
After approximately sleeping for several days, Yun Ye finally awakened, jumping up instantly and looking around at the women and children in the space!
Sure enough, after several days without food, these pregnant women and children were already crumpled on the ground, looking extremely pale, but they had completely lost their ability to act; even when starving, they made no extra movement.
“Remove the filth!”
Yun Ye’s expression changed as he activated Water Elemental Spiritual Law, cleansing the dirt from these women and children, while also nurturing their bodies to prevent any issues.
Next, Yun Ye pulled a large amount of food into the Spirit Water, boiling it directly to cook thoroughly into a liquid form, which he fed in batches to the thirty-three individuals.
After doing all this, Yun Ye finally relaxed, finding a random spot to sit down and review the situation.
Then, Yun Ye couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “This is just too insane… this Reverse Liberation is truly overpowered. It lasted for barely seconds, and I already mastered the Elevation of Spiritual Roots, the Second Release of the Dao Tool, the Release of Damaged Tools, a ton of alchemy techniques, and even reached Minor Achievement in the Three Mystical True Fire Method!”
Minor Achievement in the Three Mystical True Fire Method refers to proficiency, not energy level.
The higher the proficiency, the faster the cultivation speed.
Geniuses can quickly master the Walking Law without the aid of Spiritual Herbs because they have a deep understanding of the Walking Law, allowing it to operate perfectly without wasting any energy.
In such circumstances, even without external assistance, progress is rapid.
Yun Ye had now reached Minor Achievement in proficiency, which was over three times faster than his previous entry-level training.
Is this the level of being unmatched and undefeated?
No, it might be even higher!
Being engulfed by a great disaster represents fate; even ordinary corpses that are slaughtered and destroyed can leap to become Flying Zombies!
Yun Ye had just gained the talent of a destined protagonist!
And this talent…
Had four opportunities still remaining!
Heaven itself would take notice and eliminate Baishi Town!
“A great disaster befalls me; could this be the turning point for the path of tomorrow? The path of tomorrow represents the people, inherently tasked with avenging them and restoring their name.”
“If a Dao Artifact wielder from the Luo Dynasty were here, facing these calamities would be no different from the marks left by a heavenly knife. After all, they seek recognition from the rulers, not the so-called hearts of the people…”
Yun Ye understood upon a brief reflection that being engulfed by a great disaster was inevitable. This was the absolute contradiction between the lower class and the upper class. Since he represented the lower class, he was destined to become a calamity for the upper class.
As for why this difference existed, it boils down to the fact that paths are created through walking. The more people who walk a path, the wider it becomes.
Once the upper class moves out, they do not want anyone to follow. They do everything possible to obstruct successors, even going so far as to cut off the path entirely.
They alone prevent others from widening this road; who can they blame?
We must remember that everyone’s top priority is to survive and live well.
And what is this world like?
The overwhelming majority of people can’t even survive, and even if they manage to do so, they merely struggle in a hell on earth.
This is a natural contradiction, a natural conflict.
The upper class monopolizes all resources with force, fulfilling the needs of a tiny few while turning countless people into kindling.
In other words, the entire lower class of the world is the enemy of these upper-class individuals; they simply cannot awaken their Dao tools and are too weak to resist.
And Yun Ye, as the Dao Artifact wielder of Tomorrow Society, no matter what he wants to do, will definitely come into contact with these lower-class individuals, ultimately leading to a great disaster and becoming the burial ground for the upper class.
At this point, Yun Ye felt even greater regret about the second life…
If he could eliminate a judge, he would definitely gain hundreds of echoes. This life would make burying Baishi Town much easier.
Speaking of echoes, Yun Ye summoned his Dao tool and began to check the Dao tool panel.
‘Dao Tool: Tomorrow, Again Tomorrow · Two-Part Slash Authority Dao Sword.’
‘Range: Baishi Town.’
‘Rating: A-grade.’
‘Echoes: 10.’
‘First Rule (0 echoes): The Moon Ring becomes part of the reincarnator, facing an ordinary calamity once a year.’
‘Second Rule (8 echoes): The holder of the Tomorrow Authority Dao tool has the duty to eliminate demons. For each demon killed, a portion of their strength can be drawn to enhance oneself. The farther away the demon is killed, the lesser the power enhancement, while killing stronger demons yields greater power increase.’
‘Third Rule (50 echoes): Upon receiving the support of Tomorrow Society, one must swear never to betray it, never to share its knowledge with others, and never to use its knowledge for wrongful purposes. Any violation will trigger the Dao tool rules, ignoring spatial distance, and will impose different punishments based on severity. The more resources are tilted towards an individual, the more precious they are based on the larger environment, and the higher the recognition of Tomorrow Society as a whole, the stronger this rule’s enforceability becomes.’
‘True Name: Tomorrow, Again Tomorrow: omitted.’
‘True Name: Two-Part Slash Authority: omitted.’
‘Description: omitted.’
The rating of the Dao tool rose to A-grade.
By this assessment, the Ji family may only have clan Dao tools and head of the family Dao tools with echoes surpassing those of Tomorrow.
These correspond to S-grade and EX-grade.
After all, even great cultivators at the law realms have only one 8-echo Dao tool. The upper limit of Baishi Town’s Dao tools might be high, but the rest are merely fodder, unable to develop.
Yun Ye didn’t pay much attention to the rating, instead focusing on the more detailed first rule.
The first rule involved calamities.
Though it only included an ordinary calamity each year, Yun Ye still wanted to eliminate it.
But the result was shocking.
Binding the Moon Ring only required 10 echoes, yet the debt amount was a staggering 100 echoes.
To eliminate the calamity required ten times the debt!?
“No wonder the calamities in Baishi Town only worsen and do not recover. Besides the difficulty in producing ruling echoes, there’s also the tenfold debt exchange.”
Yun Ye’s expression darkened; fortunately, he wasn’t being hasty. Otherwise, this potential over-expenditure would be terrifying!
When the Dao tool was formed, spending the echoes felt exhilarating, gaining powerful rule effects directly, but when it’s time to repay…
It could take hundreds or even thousands of years; even with cultivating immortality, that’s unsustainable!
“It seems that this calamity cannot be eliminated for now. I’ll use the remaining ten echoes to enhance the second rule.”
Yun Ye tossed the ten echoes into the second rule, and the upgrade panel immediately changed, raising the level cap from 10 to 20.
He glanced at the experience bar; reaching level 11 also required ten demons, but the skill points gained per level increased from one to two.
This was indeed a bit troublesome; even with powerful strength, one might still need to defeat dozens of demons to reach maximum level.
The utilization rate was too low; going forward, he wouldn’t concern himself with the level cap, but would directly enhance experience acquisition.
