The mysterious figure appeared before Qin Wentian. His long hair touched the ground and seemed like a mad man from primordial times. The slits of his eyes though were exceptionally sharp. He stared at Qin Wentian and spoke, "Next, you should start to form your law domain. Consider this well, you should have seen plenty of law domains here in the forbidden ground and your experience cannot be considered limited. If possible, you should try to merge all your law attributes into the domain you form."
"I have my own plans." Qin Wentian stared and replied somewhat impolitely.
"What? You dare to speak to me like this just after you broke through to the immortal king realm?" That mysterious figure snorted coldly. In an instant, Qin Wentian felt a terrifying power enveloping him. He felt that the heavens and earth were sealed away and his body was out of his control. An unsightly expression appeared on his face as he stared at that mysterious figure.
"I can kill you with the ease of flipping my palm. I will give you one more year of time. When I return, you best not think that your current strength is already sufficient. If you want to exit this place alive, you are still far too weak. If one day, when I don't find you interesting any longer, you staying alive would have no more meaning to me."
That mysterious expert spoke as he turned about and vanished. Qin Wentian didn't even have the chance to retort. His expression was unsightly, like he just got dumped with a bucket of cold water. With that undying freak here, it would be useless even if he broke through to immortal emperor. He wouldn't be able to defeat that mysterious figure.
Could it be that he would always have to live under that mysterious person's control? He couldn't even exit this place.
Right now, it has been some years since he entered the forbidden grounds. He also had no idea what was happening to the eastern regions. Also, were Qingcheng and Qing`er doing well?
It has been many years since the conclusion of the adjudication battle, he had no idea if the various major powers would start a war with the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
"Another year again, does this bastard only understand this phrase? A year is simply not enough." Qin Wentian cursed under his breath. At his level, the period of one year for cultivation was simply too short. Especially so in this case where he needs to solidify his foundations and strength in all aspects. That undying bastard only gave him a year of time everytime, causing him to feel extreme pressure.
Also, Qin Wentian had no idea what the undying old freak wanted to do after a year. Most probably, it wouldn't be anything good.
Qin Wentian stood up and sent out his immortal sense. Flows of light circulated around his body as his aura changed, turning more extraordinary. This was especially so when he radiated light, he seemed like the king of a generation.
His immortal sense continued gushing forth, reaching an extremely far area. He could sense every inch of soil and every blade of grass extremely clearly. His vision also grew stronger and was able to see a further distance. Clenching his fist, he felt an extremely comfortable feeling coursing through his body.
"Law domain." Qin Wentian breathed. With an intention of his will, a destructive devlish might instantly permeated the atmosphere, transforming into a terrifying law domain. In his domain, destructive energy overloaded the area, able to destroy anything in it.
This was the simplest form of a law domain.
However, the undying old freak had no interest with regards to law domains formed by ordinary immortal kings. His request was extremely high, and it's not so easy to meet his tastes. If he wasn't able to evolve his law domain within a year, the undying old freak might get bored of him and end his life.
"Law domain, since I want to establish a proper one, it would have to strengthen myself and weaken others. Only then would this law domain be effective." Qin Wentian mused.
Given Qin Wentian's understanding of cultivation, he believed that as one proceeded forward on the path, their understanding and insights of strength, cultivation realm, comprehension, and proficiency in usage of the force of the heavens and earth would all evolve.
For example the immortal-foundation realm would start to cultivate law energy. In fact, ever since a long time ago, stellar martial cultivators must already comprehend the rudimentary traces of law - their Mandates. Mandates were the embryonic form of laws, which had to be evolved as one proceeded higher up.
At the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, they were able to manifest their constellations. At the immortal king realm, they were able to manifest their law domain. All these stemmed from the same source but as one climbed higher, it was a qualitative evolution.
In the past, he was mortal. Now, he was immortal.
"For manifested constellations, those with only one kind of power in it belonged to the weakest tier. Only by fusing different insights from various mandates, would the manifested constellation be stronger. Law domains are the same as well, the simplest usage of law domains is simply to blast it out and release law energy. In this type of law domain, one's control over their law, would be strengthened.
Qin Wentian was contemplating silently. This was the simplest type of law domain, and the strengthening effect was also the smallest. Usually, for immortal kings who were at the initial-stage, this was the law domain they formed. But as they grow stronger and reached the peak of the immortal king realm, their domains would also evolve along, becoming more tyrannical and terrifying.
"Back then, senior brother Bai Wuya was able to kill the Deepflame Immortal King with absurd ease. Was that because of an extremely powerful law domain?" Qin Wentian pondered, thinking back to the scene where Bai Wuya fought against Deepflame.
"That madman didn't want me to form my law domain so early, is it because he was afraid that I would form an ordinary one?"
Back then, Qin Wentian had fought against many immortal kings of the Evergreen Empire. However, because he was only at the immortal-foundation realm then, those immortal kings were all ordinary ones and weren't heaven chosen. Hence, what he knew about immortal kings were limited. He still needed to depend on himself to comprehend.
Qin Wentian once again wandered about in this ancient city. There were many rare scenes here, and he believed that they would give him some insights.
Qin Wentian would stop often during his roaming, he wasn't in a hurry to establish his law domain. He spent a majority of his time pondering.
He thought of the process in which he contemplated the immortal king realm. When he thought about the creation of innate techniques, there were actually some similarities between both. Comprehension of cultivation and proficiency of using innate techniques were linked from a certain perspective.
At the immortal king realm, one had to form a body of laws, and had to radiate their own law energy to permeate the atmosphere, forming a sort of control over on a certain area. And as for powerful innate techniques, they act as a trigger to unleash the might of laws.
In that case, when a person has sufficiently powerful perception as well as control over divine inscriptions and runes, couldn't he straight away establish a domain of laws of sorts? Congregating ordinary law energy to transform into terrifying attacks.
It might be easy to think about it this way, but actually doing it was definitely a feat of immense difficulty.
"God's Hand." Qin Wentian suddenly thought about the ultimate art. He once saw Ancient Emperor Yi unleashing the true power of God's Hand from a projection shown to him by the ancestral phoenix of the Southern Phoenix Clan. The power of that palm was sufficient to slay supreme experts over an extremely vast distance. And that kind of power would cause even gods and devils to tremble.
And as for the energy origin of God's Hand, it came from one's body. Similarly for law domains, they had to depend on one's body of laws. He wanted to refine his body of laws by using God's Hand to temper it.
As Qin Wentian roamed about, he would frequently sit down to contemplate and started to establish his body of laws. Right now, his entire body gave off a dazzling divine glow, unexcelled in the word as boundless might circulated around him.
Also, Qin Wentian clearly wasn't satisfied with just this. God's Hand's might is an all-out emphasis on attack. By the usage of runes, it was able to fuse with any attributes and unleash different types of energy. This was something possible because Qin Wentian had studied the Battle Saint Art. As long as his comprehensions of divine inscriptions and runes were deep enough, he was able to use God's Hand to manifest anything he wanted.
Hence, Qin Wentian wanted to try fusing the art of truth within an attack. The power unleashed would definitely be even more terrifying.
Qin Wentian started on his journey of testing things out, making mistakes and learning from them, overthrowing his past conjectures. Back then in the sacred academy, he once faced a mirror and through that, he perfected his innate techniques. That, in addition to the Myriad Law Records he gained from the Heavenly Talisman Realm, Qin Wentian's comprehension abilities could only be described with the word monstrous. And because one's comprehension ability was something internal, it wouldn't be directly seen by others.
Now, he had to depend on his monstrous comprehension abilities to establish a truly powerful law domain.
Ordinary law domains were useless to him, they would just be a symbol to show others that he reached the immortal king realm.
The time period of a year quickly arrived. Time simply passed to fast. At his current level, every time he cultivates, the amount of time taken naturally couldn't be compared to previously. The mysterious figure silently appeared beside Qin Wentian. At this moment, he saw Qin Wentian who had his eyes closed, was radiating boundless law immortal light. Terrifying fluctuations gushed forth from Qin Wentian, as his body of laws took form. Just his physical form alone was so strong that it was unexcelled in this world.
Before Qin Wentian, a gigantic area was covered by the law domain he formed. Countless ancient rune characters floated in the air, as devilish might towered up into the sky, emitting fearsome destruction and suppression attributes. Qin Wentian was constantly testing out things, how was he able to gain the greatest strength and create the most perfect law domain that could instantly unleash such might instead of needing time to store up power?
A truly powerful law domain had to be able to burst forth with tyrannical might in an instant. The difficulty of doing so was extremely high.
The mysterious figure glanced at Qin Wentian but this time, he actually didn't wake him up. He merely stated, "What a slow cultivation speed, but this law domain isn't too bad it seems. There are some minor methods and techniques here. After the embryonic form of your law domain is formed, you can cultivate from them. You better refine your law domain quickly, my temper isn't very good."
After speaking, he waved his hand and tossed some items onto the ground before he turned about and departed.
The items he tossed out, there were some ancient books that were gleaming with light, some treasures, and some powerful divine weapons. If these items were seen in the external world, it would definitely cause an earthquake-level commotion. But now, these items were tossed out like trash, lying on the ground, and were given to Qin Wentian to cultivate and comprehend from them.
Qin Wentian did hear the mysterious figure's words but even so, he was still in his state of focus and continued to immerse himself within the insights, deepening his comprehension and was constantly trying to achieve the perfect state.
Time flew by without anyone noticing. Qin Wentian had just broken through to the immortal king realm but now, he was already galloping ahead relentlessly!
