The Sect Tower stood high above the surrounding landscape, an imposing structure of stone and steel that seemed to pierce the sky. Inside the highest floor Lei Tei and Lei Fei were currently engaged in a game that was alike Go yet different as instead of coloured discs, there were instead carved figures that resembled warriors. “So Lei Fei, how are the Clans doing ?” Lei Tei asked as he moved a piece. “Nothing much, looks like The Empire has allocated some resources from Dragon Tail to The Clans .” “I see.” “Hmm.” “How is The Supreme Yin Sect faring against the Divine Sun ?” “ They can barely fight them on equal grounds, The Divine Sun is completely obliterating them.” Lei Fei yawned. “I see.” “Hmm.” “Any news about Ling Xuan.” As Lei Tei asked, Lei Fei froze. “Ummm about him, except for the usual coming out for Mystical Lightning he still has shown no signs of ending his seclusion.” Hearing this, Lei Tei could only sigh. “For five years he has been in seclusion, what is he even doing ?” “Brother, you accepted his request for seclusion in the first place, why ?” “I thought that since he had to cripple his Cultivation and then restart it again in a single day on top of him reaching Peak Apprentice as well, perhaps he needed time to stabilise himself.” “Yet only five months later he arrived to break through to the Adept Realm.” Lei Fei snickered. The Thunder Visceral Refinement Technique , while repetitive, stood out for its distinct approach compared to standard Body Refinement. Instead of utilising natural Qi as a catalyst, the Thunder Law Sect harnessed Qi derived from Mystical Lightning, which significantly enhanced its potency. Advancing through the levels of the Thunder Visceral Refinement Technique required precise skill in controlling Mystical Lightning to refine specific parts of the body. For instance, in the Adept Realm, practitioners focused on refining their bones. This process strengthened the bone marrow, leading to blood enriched with more Qi, which in turn significantly boosted the individual's overall strength "Three times he has come out of seclusion, and each time it was only temporarily. In two of those instances, he emerged solely to advance his cultivation. At this rate, I'm concerned he may become a freeloader," Lei Tei sighed. Typically, disciples of the Thunder Law Sect were assigned duties by the sect itself, compelling them to venture out and gain valuable experience. However, Ling Xuan, now an expert martial artist, remained within the sect, prompting Lei Tei's apprehension. "We have to do something about it, brother," Lei Fei urged Lei Tei. "I know," Lei Tei sighed, continuing to play. —------------------------------------------- “Finally it’s complete.” Carto Harts muttered as he watched the Library tremble. It was not the first time such an event occurred over the past five years with the explanation being that the World or rather Brahman had set specific rules that limited the amount of freedom that one can exercise when creating their Cultivation Technique and Ling Xuan’s technique was something that was dangerously close to breaking these rules. "Well, that's what happens when you try to replicate the power of organisms that can literally bend the laws of the world to their will," Ling Xuan smirked. Through his research, along with Xia Longwei's book, he had discovered that Qi was not only a form of energy but also the fundamental force of The World that holds all organisms and the laws of Reality together. "There is no way to become a Mythical Being—that's the central constant set by the world. Mythical Organisms are the first organisms of this world and are thus favoured by it. Grandmaster is the peak for everything else, for they have already reached a state of Mortal Perfection," Ling Xuan muttered. These were the first words he had read in Xia Longwei's book, and it was indeed the truth. “Yet this is where the loophole lies.” Ling Xuan grinned as the Library slowly stopped trembling. Who s
