Chapter 557: The Laws of the Holy Path

“Not good!”

Immense fear surged in the hearts of everyone in the Fire Jade Heavenly City. The obvious malice descended from the heavens, instantly sweeping away all obstacles.

It was as if countless beams of light pierced through dark clouds, creating holes in this historical rift, allowing direct observation of the Fire Jade Heavenly City through these gaps.

Such an unmasked, naked gaze created a terror so profound that it left those at the law realms nearly speechless, their thoughts almost stagnant.

Even as the historical fractures were destroyed and their connection to the Red Heaven realm was restored, their fear could not dissipate.

This was power that completely transcended them!

Among everyone, only one person was in the most perilous situation—Tian Hou, who was frantically gathering resources in the Absolute Emperor’s treasury. He was also gripped by horror, bound by an invisible force, and ascending towards the sky. Under the beam of light, he appeared as a divine being soaring heavenward, extraordinarily sacred.

Yet Tian Hou felt no joy; only despair engulfed him. He could clearly see his soul writhing, being read for memories, and the saddest part was that he felt no signs of the usual symptoms associated with memory retrieval—no pain, no chaos, no loss of consciousness…

None of the expected symptoms manifested.

This was not a good sign, as it indicated that the opponent’s mastery of Spirit Law surpassed his imagination—an existence that he could not hope to resist.

“Sunlight, the Nizi clan… How could my luck be this terrible?”

Jiu Xiao’s expression froze. She smiled bitterly as her gaze turned blank, her memories rapidly fading from her mind.

At the same time, she and the Heir of the Divine Deer Clan ascended into the sky, their memories being read and flipped through.

“Did no one see the Dao Classic being secretly taken? How diligent! Not a trace left behind; no wonder the Immortal Lord’s order was not to trace its existence.”

“It could also be that memories were severed—any possibility might have been removed.”

Sunlight pierced through the heavens and earth.

The entire historical rift crumbled directly.

In the face of such immense destruction, those remaining conscious murmured, “What kind of great disaster is this?”

What kind of disaster?

Just a mere Mystic Realm cultivator, referred to as a Powerful Figure in the eyes of common folks, but to the Honored Beings present, they were no different from ants.

What was it that compelled such noble beings to use great magical power to exterminate?

“Save me, please save me…”

Only Tian Hou still clung to a shred of hope. He had obtained the authority to open the historical rift through the Divine Fate organization, rumored to hold protective power.

In his eyes, Divine Fate was also an unreachable gigantic entity—perhaps it could save his life?

But unfortunately, just as the thought crossed his mind, he suddenly froze.

What was the name of the gigantic entity that could save him?

…What was it called?

For a moment, Tian Hou felt his heart become like dead ash. He realized he had been abandoned and thus forgot the name of the organization.

He was just an outer member; once he was targeted, his connection to Divine Fate began to fade to avoid entanglement in causality and to mitigate further threats.

The Honored Beings indeed found no information, therefore annihilating everything.

Tian Hou and the others could not escape such annihilation; their bodies and spirits were completely destroyed, dead beyond measure.

The celestial clan’s Honored Being glanced at the collapsing historical rift and then withdrew his gaze. Countless rays of sunlight projected by his gaze gradually faded away in the flow of time and space.

This historical rift was utterly destroyed, and the scene faded into nothing, leaving only a dragon boat silently sailing toward the Four Sun Continent.

Even the Honored Being could not see it; he believed it to be empty and void. However, inside the undestroyed dragon boat, the black-haired youth was turning back Spirit Drink, quietly drinking while countless pieces of knowledge flowed through his eyes as he contemplated all Spirit Laws from ancient times to the present.

On the other side, far away in the Dao Domain of the Four Sun Continent, a cute white-haired little girl sat in a dilapidated temple, hugging her knees with a bewildered expression, eight tails swaying behind her as if she felt unsure of what to do.

“Eh? What am I doing here…?”

…

The Countless Dao Classics recorded all laws from ancient times to the present, which naturally included Future Spirit Law, but this method was merely that of mortals.

In other words, the Future Spirit Law within the Countless Dao Classics did not contain the power of the Dao Classics and could not deduce a True Immortal nor observe absolute futures.

“What difference does this make from the Nine Lives Spirit Law?”

Yun Ye only had this thought after reading the entire Future Spirit Law.

Indeed, the Future Spirit Law greatly surpassed the Nine Lives Spirit Law in strength, but the Future Spirit Law of the Path Lord represented the absolute; it would not make any errors. Yet, the Future Spirit Law Yun Ye grasped could, if even a True Immortal intervened, result in errors; even interference from a Monarch could cause significant deviations.

When facing a True Immortal, even the slightest discrepancy could lead to complete failure.

A Future Spirit Law that is not absolutely accurate, even if its precision reached 99%, would be almost the same as 80% or 70%, only able to be used limitedly in the Red Heaven realm, and when it came time to become a Monarch, it would lose much efficacy—not to mention becoming a True Immortal.

“Ah, seeing a more accurate future is still good.”

Yun Ye shook his head. He knew he needed to make a trip to The Still Sea. The Future Spirit Law could not be explained merely with spirit patterns and spirit energy; it required massive amounts of extraordinary materials, which only existed in The Still Sea. Even if Yun Ye tried to create it using the Heavenly Dry Universe, he could only get close, never fully achieving a similar effect.

In fact, the higher the level of the law, the more precious the external conditions required. The benefits from these external sources could cause one’s personal strength to rise exponentially.

The God Destruction Clan with its complete elemental mastery had opened vast worlds with the title of Heavenly Sovereign, yet still faced the Water Emperor as a competitor. This was due to the Water Emperor’s cultivation of the Dao Classics, along with the backing of the celestial clans, allowing her starting point to vastly outpace the God Destruction Clan. If not for the fact that the God Destruction Clan’s Five Elements Cave Heaven was truly terrifying, the Water Emperor would have surely emerged as the victor, further enhancing the celestial clan’s foundation.

Yun Ye casually added the Future Spirit Law to the derivatives of the Ten Heavenly Arts and observed the changes on various planets in the Heavenly Dry Universe for a moment before flipping open the Countless Dao Classics again to start reading the laws of the Holy Path.

“The origins of the Holy Path are indeed untraceable, but this law was created by ancient sages to break the blockade of True Immortals.”

“At first, this law was quite ordinary and did not attract any attention. However, as one Holy Path cultivator after another improved it, eventually one day, a cultivator achieved Major Achievement in the Holy Path and obtained the Heavenly Crown Artifact, accomplishing the feat of altering the world’s rules in a brief moment.”

“He modified the rules for True Immortals descending to the mortal realm; the fluctuations they originally emitted were only 1, but after the modification, those fluctuations would become 1 billion, 10 billion…”

“Exactly how much, no one knows. However, from that moment on, True Immortals no longer acted with reckless abandon, greatly increasing the chances of becoming a True Immortal. Undoubtedly, the Holy Path astonished the world, shocking True Immortals.”

“Because of this, the Holy Path was regarded as a threat that far surpassed the Royal Path. Many celestial beings purged the Red Heaven, eradicating all traces of the Holy Path. Subsequently, the path to becoming a True Immortal in Mystic Heaven was created, giving birth to the current three heavens. All of this was to seal off the methods of cultivating the Holy Path.”
