Chapter 175: Law Seals
A day later, the council’s detailed plan was finally released.
This announcement was longer than usual, stretching over two to three hundred pages.
However, everyone eagerly opened the council’s official website to study the announcement closely.
Though there was much superfluous talk, the content was substantial and very detailed.
Because of Yi Chen’s immense influence and the significance of this plan for the entire Federation of Humanity, it would require a public vote to pass.
This time, the council improved its efficiency.
The following day, they officially opened the voting channels.
Without any warm-up, without anyone campaigning, and without any underhanded dealings, within three hours of opening the voting channels, over half of the eligible voters had participated.
The number of people opposing the plan was almost negligible.
Even though the majority of the public remained at the Spirit Release stage, far from the ninth level of Spirit Consciousness, everyone still looked forward to the prompt implementation of the plan.
As it concerned the survival of humanity, they needed to know the result to feel at ease.
The top geniuses of the Flame Mountain Tribe found their training speed slowing down, and the prediction of when Yi Chen would pass down the skills for the fifth time continually filled all of humanity with anxiety.
With such a serious unexpected incident occurring, the entire Federation of Humanity stood in a state of extreme worry.
The only solace was that there was no sign of the various tribes hastily joining the alliance of the Angelic Beings, the Three-Eyed Tribe, and the Frost Tribe as some pessimists expected.
The Frenzied Tribe was still aggressively invading the Frost Tribe, showing no signs of breaking the alliance with humanity.
This greatly eased the anxiety of the Federation of Humanity.
The attitude of the various tribes likely indicated a high chance of success for the council’s plan.
After all, humanity did not know what the mysterious force was that seemed to emerge from the void, as they had always followed a path of technological civilization and knew little about personal cultivation.
The various tribes, on the other hand, followed individual cultivation paths. Ordinary tribe members might be unaware, but the strong among their ranks were surely in the know.
Their lack of response undoubtedly suggested that this matter would not obstruct humanity’s development.
Of course, the strong of the various tribes would not step forward to clarify things for all humanity.
Whether it truly aligned with their speculations could only be confirmed once results emerged.
…
In a room, Yi Chen continued to engrave his understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth into energy shapes through the method of Dao patterns.
After more than three days and experiencing thousands of failures, as he engraved the final Dao pattern onto the energy shape,
the entire energy shape, measuring only a few inches on each side, suddenly erupted with a golden brilliance.
As the golden light faded, the originally silver-white energy shape transformed into golden.
A wondrous power flowed within the energy shape.
The first law seal succeeded!
Yi Chen continued to channel his spirit power.
As he expected, within the law seal, the power of the defense laws began to flow continuously.
Yi Chen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He had successfully completed one.
There were still over forty to go.
If luck continued, it would take him over four more months.
However, as he produced more law seals, the time needed to create various formations would decrease.
This was similar to movable type printing; law seals were like pre-engraved characters. For different books, all he needed to do was rearrange these characters.
For different formations, he only needed to rearrange and combine the law seals.
The only difference was that as his strength increased and his understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth deepened, the law seals, which served as engines for formations, could also be enhanced and upgraded.
Yet, it would only require improvements and enhancements based on the existing foundation.
Yi Chen stopped channeling spirit power.
The law seal lost its energy supply and slowly faded away.
As spirit power surged out, the law seal quickly reappeared.
It formed in mere seconds.
Moreover, there was still significant room for improvement in this speed.
One day, as his strength grew, he could even achieve the ability to form law seals in an instant.
After testing a few more times and confirming that the first law seal had no issues, Yi Chen began to research and construct the second law seal.
…
In the live room, no one could determine what the law seal was or what function it had because the scanner couldn’t detect the power of the laws.
However, some members of the various tribes’ intelligence organizations, who were responsible for monitoring Yi Chen’s movements, vaguely felt that the patterns within the law seal resembled the divine runes and holy runes used by the strong for setting barriers.
But the barriers created by the strong with their divine runes and holy runes covered an extensive area.
Unlike Yi Chen, who inscribed various patterns into a very small energy shape, which seemed to harbor wondrous power but showed no obvious effects.
Screened from direct view, they sensed nothing.
Only the strong among the various tribes might catch a hint and feel a sudden clarity from watching on the screen.
Because the barriers they constructed had a similar effect to the formations Yi Chen envisioned.
The difference was that the former directly used Dao patterns to gradually create a barrier with special functions and effects.
The latter first combined Dao patterns into law seals and then used the law seals to build formations with special functions and effects.
It seemed like the difference between relief printing and movable type printing.
But it wasn’t entirely so.
The barriers of the strong from the various tribes, at the same level, could not compare to the formations Yi Chen conceived.
The former relied on a higher level of strength and a deeper understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth to forcibly construct a barrier.
Its function and effects were greatly diminished.
The latter divided the current understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth into various properties of the laws for a more detailed understanding, allowing the construction of simpler law seals.
Using the law seals, he could then assemble formations.
This not only maximized the power of the formations but also allowed for the construction of more complex formations in the future.
Even if the strong of the various tribes gained sudden clarity, it was merely that—a realization.
With different cultivation systems, plus the fact that the creative talent of the strong from the various tribes was even below that of ordinary humanity,
If they borrowed Yi Chen’s experiences and methods, with higher strength and understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, they would still take much longer than Yi Chen to create a law seal.
Not to mention, it was not enough to just research various law seals; they also had to study how to combine these law seals into various barriers or formations.
This was Yi Chen’s exclusive domain.
He was on the one hundred eighth level, while everyone else was on the negative one hundred eighth and one hundred ninth levels.
…
As the days passed, one law seal after another was continuously created by Yi Chen.
The war between the five major tribes and the two alliances continued.
Humanity and the Frenzied Tribe, two of the most powerful factions in this star system, not only held the upper hand in their two against three battles but also saw their advantage increase as humanity’s strength grew day by day.
However, what captured the attention of all humanity was no longer the various battle reports updated daily.
Nor was it how many life planets the Elite Fleet had seized in the Angelic Galaxy or how many eight-winged and ten-winged silver Angels had been defeated.
Instead, it was the progress of the "Tuition Plan."
Finally, a half month later, the long-awaited first phase of the "Tuition Plan" was officially completed and launched.
