Chapter 86: Breaking the Chains of Spirit Law
Yun Ye did not understand the words on the Stone Tablet.
However, as he gazed at the Stone Tablet, it felt as if he transcended time and space, witnessing a powerful figure standing with hands behind his back, with their voices echoing in his mind, allowing him to glimpse the grandeur of the ancient Gate of Heaven of the Crescent Moon.
Though he would quickly forget most of what he saw and could not retain the memories, he still felt a deep sense of awe.
The Gate of Heaven of the Crescent Moon was truly remarkable! After so many years, this small Stone Tablet could still exude such splendor!
“To enter the Gate of Heaven, one must pass three trials.”
“First trial: Unmatched and undefeated.”
“Second trial: Question with sincerity.”
“Third trial: Walk through ten tribulations again.”
“If all three trials are passed, one’s background, past, and karma do not matter; all may tread the Gate of Heaven and ascend the Heavenly Path!”
The majestic aura of the Gate of Heaven transcended history and burst forth.
It even dared to claim, “tread the Gate of Heaven, ascend the Heavenly Path!”
In the ancient world of cultivation, could there still be a Celestial Court?
“The trials have always existed here, and there have always been participants, yet no one has ever succeeded.”
The village elder spoke.
“Did someone come thirty years ago?” Yun Ye asked.
“No one ever came here. In fact, I’m not just talking about this small village; there are hundreds of such Stone Tablets throughout the Crescent Moon Secret Realm. Whenever someone passes a trial, that Stone Tablet will disappear, yet this one has stood here for countless years.”
The elder stroked his white beard and sighed.
He explained to Yun Ye that they had been trapped in this Secret Realm, unable to leave or cultivate Spiritual Law.
If no Trial Participant succeeded, they would forever be confined here, with no future at all.
Although these elders had become accustomed to life here, the young people still yearned to encounter new things.
If they could be free, it would be wonderful.
“…”
Yun Ye fell silent.
He could tell that this elder had probably dreamed of such things in his youth, which is why he hoped for a Trial Participant to break the deadlock.
To be honest, Yun Ye did not want to shatter his dreams, but…
This place was like a paradise. How could the outside world compare?
Yun Ye did not immediately reveal the truth to them.
Instead, he carefully inquired about the trials.
The village truly served as a guide, providing detailed information about the trials.
To undertake the Three Trials, one only needed to place their hand on the Stone Tablet and focus their thoughts.
At that moment, they would be transported to a special trial space to face the Three Trials.
Each trial could be challenged countless times without any restrictions.
Moreover, these trials were recorded, documenting the achievements of past challengers.
This information would be accessible once they accepted the trial challenge.
One could attempt the trials as many times as they liked.
It sounded like an excellent opportunity.
However, given the posture of the Gate of Heaven of the Crescent Moon, the difficulty was evident; ordinary geniuses had no chance at all.
At least, that was true for the Luo Dynasty for the past twelve hundred years.
Though Yun Ye was very interested, he shook his head, thinking about his purpose for coming here, and chose not to pursue any trials.
Even so, the villagers warmly welcomed Yun Ye, slaughtering chickens and ducks to prepare delicious dishes.
Yun Ye found it hard to refuse and had to accept.
During the meal, Yun Ye learned more about the situation in the Crescent Moon Secret Realm.
It turned out that the Secret Realm had a recorded history. Even though the lineage in the village had been interrupted, various records had not been lost.
According to the records, since the last successful challenger, the Crescent Moon Secret Realm had existed for fifteen thousand years, spanning five dynasties and various immortal sects; the current Luo Dynasty was the sixth.
Yun Ye was quite shocked.
On Earth, even his country’s history only stretched back five or six thousand years.
Yet, the Crescent Moon Secret Realm had existed for fifteen thousand years, and it still had not collapsed.
Although the Gate of Heaven had vanished into time, the Secret Realm they created stood as evidence of their former glory.
This world truly had longevity and genuine immortals; a span of ten thousand years was merely a fleeting moment!
What the people in this Secret Realm shared greatly enriched Yun Ye’s knowledge, filling him with excitement.
Coincidentally, he also needed time to solve the constraints of Spirit Law, making it a good opportunity to attempt the trial challenge.
However, before that, he required some items to assist him and needed to venture out to find them.
The villagers were understanding; the fisherman smiled and said, “Trial Participant, don’t mind us. We have become accustomed to life here and are simply fulfilling our responsibilities as guides.”
“If you wish, you can return anytime. Even if you do not participate in the trials, we will still welcome you.”
“Thank you! I will try it in these few days. I’m indeed very interested in the trials!” Yun Ye cupped his hands and then left the village, heading to find a Spiritual Herb.
…
Spiritual Herbs were indeed plentiful in this Secret Realm.
After easily defeating several monsters, Yun Ye spotted the first Spiritual Herb.
Guarding the herb was a high-level monster. According to the rules of the Crescent Moon Secret Realm, all monsters could not consume the guarded Spiritual Herbs, allowing them to grow safely for sixty years.
With the spirit energy concentration here, sixty years equaled six hundred years outside.
Even if this herb had only grown for thirty years, its potency would still be strong.
“Boom!”
In less than ten seconds, Yun Ye struck through the high-level monster’s vital spot, turning its body to ashes with flames.
He approached the Spiritual Herb, ready to pull it up with force, but as soon as he exerted himself, a barrier descended.
“Destruction of Spiritual Herbs is not allowed.”
He sought the herb to test the effect of the contract barrier, and now he had the result.
“…So it is true!”
Yun Ye looked at the numerous Spirit Law chains naturally appearing around him and smiled. Then, the ghostly blue flame ignited in his hand as he reached out to seize the Spirit Law chains.
“Bang bang bang bang!”
As he grabbed the chains, he found himself unable to break them, or rather, it was exceedingly slow.
“Spiritual Roots revival!”
Yun Ye did not hesitate, entering his full strength state, and the aura of the ghostly blue flame instantly surged terrifyingly.
At that moment, the power was completely different; the chain he held began to break apart bit by bit.
Yun Ye reached for the Spiritual Herb again, pulling it with force but was momentarily stopped.
The effect of the contract barrier weakened!
“It seems I was right; the constraints of Spirit Law only activate when I take action… This is a tremendous loophole for me!”
Yun Ye continued to tug at the second Spirit Law chain. While in the state of Spiritual Roots revival, his energy rapidly drained, but one chain after another also crumbled.
Nether Fire only extinguished the soul, and it specialized in breaking Spirit Law.
No matter how skilled Qi Lian was in Spirit Law, without a source of power, she would eventually rely on Spiritual Roots revival, which would take just two days to break them all.
“Bang bang bang…”
Yun Ye continuously tore away the Spirit Law chains, weakening their effect.
His life energy was also depleting at a terrifying pace.
The power of the divine officials was simply overwhelming!
