Chapter 84: Scenery of the Secret Realm
The perfection of a Spiritual Law actually just means an increase in spiritual realm.
For instance, achieving Major Achievement in technique-level Spiritual Law corresponds to late-stage second rank, while perfection corresponds to third rank.
This means that even if one’s Spiritual Law is perfected, those who cannot grasp the Essence will still not be able to do so.
It might be due to insufficient talent, or perhaps it is inherently difficult to comprehend.
When a Spiritual Law is created, like Yun Ye’s Extreme Flame, if it only provides one direction for cultivation but fails to clarify the true principles, then it will be very difficult for later practitioners to grasp the creator’s thought process and thus achieve complete mastery of the Spiritual Law.
Only those exceptionally talented individuals can decipher the secrets of the Spiritual Law themselves and begin their journey toward the Essence, but this is only a preliminary form of the Essence.
The Essence mentioned in technique-level Spiritual Law accurately refers to "a unique power belonging to oneself, containing the will of the Spiritual Law master."
In other words, the effect of the Essence is unique; each person’s is different, and one must grasp Spirit Law and inject their own will to have a chance of comprehending the Essence of Spiritual Law.
The difference between the preliminary form of Essence and the complete Essence is simply whether it can be applied to different Spiritual Laws simultaneously.
Yun Wen’s Spiritual Law Essence, Ten Thousand Cuts, is the power awakened from digging deep into a Metal Element Spiritual Law, belonging to the preliminary form of the Essence, and can only enhance that particular Spiritual Law.
Yun Ye’s Extreme Flame is the same; it is a preliminary form of Essence that can only strengthen a fixed Spiritual Law.
For example, using Azure Flame with the Bathing Fire Feather Coat will provide only defensive and offensive effects, while self-healing and physical enhancement become null due to the characteristics of Extreme Flame.
True Spiritual Law Essence does not exhibit this limitation; it possesses universality.
Yun Ye struggled to advance in his Spiritual Law over the past four years, reaching a bottleneck, which is why he focused on studying this so-called Essence of Spiritual Law.
After four years, Yun Ye surprisingly met with failure until he completed the awakening of his physical vitality.
The key to the Essence lies in the integration of spirituality and Spirit Sense, and to bear this power, a sufficiently strong body is needed.
In other words, the Essence is not something that can be mastered at this stage; even if Yun Ye has uncovered the principles, he can only achieve the preliminary form at most. If he forcibly uses the Spiritual Law Essence, he would only get one chance and would surely perish after that.
This could be considered a trump card, though Yun Ye is still uncertain about its true power due to the impossibility of practical verification. However, it would certainly be more terrifying than any other card he possesses.
After all, this is the "Essence of Fire," a combination of all his potential.
Throughout these four years, aside from the gains from the Essence, the most important achievement was the awakening of his physical vitality.
After awakening his Spirit Sense and Spiritual Roots, the awakening of spirituality became extremely challenging.
Yun Ye started attempting this in the early second year, using Spirit-level superior food to boost his progress.
He found it hard to imagine how others managed to awaken the Three Major Techniques in their teens; the difference in talent seemed overwhelmingly vast.
The awakening of physical vitality was indeed as Yun Ye envisioned.
After the awakening, he would grasp the Solar Spiritual Nature corresponding to his Spirit Sense.
Yin Spiritual Nature is another name for Spirit Sense, while Yang Spiritual Nature is also referred to as vitality.
A strong Yang Spiritual Nature enhances vitality, thereby increasing lifespan, which is the essence of life.
However, it is regrettable that although Yun Ye awakened the Three Major Techniques, he was still unable to increase his lifespan.
Since the awakening of his vitality three years ago, Yun Ye exchanged for the foundational Physical Law and Spirit Sense Law at Hongshan military camp, significantly enhancing both his Spirit Sense and Physical Law.
But the most crucial thing…
Lifespan.
Yun Ye did not obtain it.
Simply strengthening his body does not increase his lifespan, a situation beyond his expectations.
For a moment, Yun Ye felt helpless and could not investigate any further.
The information in this world is highly closed off; the knowledge shared is mostly basic, or people don’t think commoners can grasp advanced concepts… like the Essence of Spiritual Law.
Though this priceless art is discussed, who would believe that commoners could self-learn and master such high-level Spiritual Law?
Let alone the Essence, even major Spiritual Laws are difficult for commoners to master due to limitations in talent.
Xiao Yue is able to master major Spiritual Laws purely because her talent is largely focused on spirit energy manipulation.
Using Yun Ye’s method would consume at least three years of lifespan, making it great for turning the tables, but it could never be a regular strategy.
—Though major Spiritual Laws are monopolized by powerful families, Yun Ye has no place to learn, and there’s no way to sacrifice his life for gain.
This summarizes the enhancements to Yun Ye’s raw strength.
This is the foundation for Yun Ye daring to challenge the Captain.
However, what truly gives Yun Ye a chance to defeat the Captain is his Revenge Arsenal, which he has modified for five whole years.
Let’s set that aside for now.
If he truly cannot attack Tong Yuan and the others, then this Revenge Arsenal must be sealed away; this isn’t its time to shine.
…
At the Moon Reflection Water Pool, monsters continuously “drop out” of thin air only to commit suicide the moment they appear.
Not a single one survives past a second.
It is truly breathtaking.
This is the power of Spirit Law; Qi Lian gazes here, and the so-called monsters do not even have a chance to resist.
Time passes.
The moon in the Moon Reflection Water Pool grows increasingly bright.
After two hours of waiting, it transforms into a full moon, and as abundant spirit energy surges from the entire pool, the water’s surface detaches from the ordinary world.
The door to the Secret Realm is fully opened!
If one extends their Spirit Sense toward the water’s surface at this moment, they would discover a deep, profound void.
Spirit Sense penetrates through space but cannot return, creating this illusion.
“Everyone, I will take my leave first.”
Tong Yuan clasped his fists toward the other Captains and led a total of fourteen team members into the depths of the water pool.
Once their heads submerged beneath the surface, their presence completely vanished.
Entering the Moon Reflection Secret Realm signifies crossing a space that will naturally conceal all presence.
“We’ll go too!”
Yun Wen waved his hand and took the lead into the Secret Realm.
Team Two followed him into the water, totaling eleven members.
Yun Ye also stepped in; he felt a refreshing sensation, but it wasn’t due to the water’s flow—it was something peculiar…
As soon as his eyes sank below the water’s surface, the world before him plunged into complete darkness.
This is a special passage devoid of light, with no sound surrounding him. Yun Ye hesitated for a moment but had no other choice but to continue forward.
After about two or three seconds, Yun Ye suddenly felt weightless, as his previously muted vision, Spirit Sense, and body sensations were restored.
“Buzzing!”
“Splash!”
When Yun Ye opened his eyes, the scene before him formed a stark contrast with Wood Spirit Valley.
He stood in an endless field, surrounded by the sounds of insects buzzing around him. Looking up at the sky, he spotted a blue bird longer than three meters soaring above, chirping cheerfully.
A gentle breeze blew, and sunlight shone on the golden fields, causing Yun Ye to momentarily become lost in thought.
“What a nostalgic feeling! If there were a few more cottages and a little river, it would feel even more like home.”
Yun Ye jumped onto a rock and looked around, stirring many memories.
In his modern life, he spent his childhood in the countryside, climbing trees, catching fish, and running wildly in the fields with friends—these were such enjoyable recollections. Without that environment later on, he often sought it in games.
Unfortunately, he never found it.
“Whoosh…”
A praying mantis lay in wait among the wheat field, ready to strike.
Such an unsuspecting prey.
A rare find!
“Boom!”
Yun Ye punched and smashed the suddenly appearing creature beside him. He felt no interest in looking at it; the Black Flame descended, incinerating the corpse and blood completely. Then he took out his “manual” and opened it.
