Chapter 298: The Five Grand Laws, Unprecedented (Part 1)
Chapter 298: The Five Grand Laws, Unprecedented (Part 1)
Lei Jun focused his attention, using the Nine Abyss True Fire to quietly refine the tattered-cloak-like treasure.
He had refined and crafted countless artifacts and treasures, but the Grand Purity Eight Scenic Treasure Cloak and the Upper Clarity Jade Celestial Bamboo required the most thought and time.
Both treasures incorporated Lei Jun's profound insights and contemplations on the path of cultivation.
They encapsulated his summaries of past cultivation experiences as well as his exploratory experiments and attempts at innovation.
Under the flickering green light of the Nine Abyss True Fire, the tattered-like existence on the treasure stirred, resembling the swaying of straws on a cloak.
A dragon's roar seemed to echo from within.
As the "straws" quivered and lifted their heads, they resembled dragons rising in unison.
In the glow of the green flames, dragon shadows appeared and danced.
The dark golden gale winds also began to circulate, resembling both wind and cloud.
Thus, the dragon shadows undulated within the winds and clouds, appearing illusory and elusive, much like the fabled dragon that reveals its head but not its tail.
Then, the clouds and mist expanded further, forming a vast yet inconspicuous haze.
Standing within this haze, one's vision and perception felt obscured.
As Lei Jun channeled his spiritual power, seal after seal flew into the haze, making it even more subtle and secretive.
Veiled by the haze, the "dragon shadows" were engraved with seal after seal, as if imprinted on every dragon scale.
The "dragon shadows" gradually lowered and retracted.
The gale winds dissipated along with them.
As the haze thinned, the tattered cloak within also seemed to vanish, disappearing from sight.
Lei Jun nodded slightly and extinguished the Nine Abyss True Fire.
With the extinction of the green flames, the haze completely vanished.
However, the tattered cloak reappeared before Lei Jun.
Above Lei Jun's head, the radiant light shifted, and the diagram of the Two Extremes and the Grand Ultimate reappeared, emanating strands of flowing light that merged into the Grand Purity Eight Scenic Treasure Cloak suspended in mid-air.
The cloak began to flicker with a faint glow, but it quickly subdued.
In appearance, it remained unremarkable, devoid of anything eye-catching.
Lei Jun silently nurtured the treasure.
The next day, he rekindled the Nine Abyss True Fire.
As the green flames appeared, the Grand Purity Eight Scenic Treasure Cloak once again vanished, like mist dissipating into the void.
Like the previous day, Lei Jun continuously condensed his spiritual power and intent, transforming them into countless seals that flowed endlessly into the void of mist.
This process repeated, cycling back and forth.
Gradually, Lei Jun's Grand Purity Eight Scenic Treasure Cloak began to take shape.
Subsequently, Lei Jun sent it into the first layer of the True One Law Altar, leaving it to be further refined by the Nine Abyss True Fire daily.
As for himself, he shifted his attention to another object.
The unique jade seal.
After carefully studying the High Heaven Jade Seal, one morning, Lei Jun waved his hand towards the sky.
In the morning light, as the night sky had not yet completely faded, a faint starlight twinkled, abnormally distant from the ground.
After a while, the radiance intensified, finally descending from the heavens and returning to Lei Jun.
It was the Grand Heavenly Cycle Jade that he had refined after merging it with the water veins of Jade Morning True Water.
Lei Jun first nurtured the slightly heated Grand Heavenly Cycle Jade with his spiritual power and reinscribed some seals upon it.
As the Grand Heavenly Cycle Jade's spirit gradually recovered, Lei Jun extended a finger and gently tapped the High Heaven Jade Seal.
The High Heaven Jade Seal vibrated and suddenly transformed into a stream of light, spreading out in mid-air and expanding in all directions.
Under the radiant glow of the exquisite seals, a boundless void seemed to appear before Lei Jun.
Lei Jun curled his finger and snapped.
His own Life-Sacrificing Human Law Seal appeared and underwent a transformation, shimmering like stars.
Then, the Circumpolar Constellation Law also condensed into the form of a seal.
Following this, the Heaven-Earth Penetrating Seal and the Heavenly Movement Seal appeared as well.
Lei Jun infused each of these seals into the void "dome" created by the High Heaven Jade Seal.
Lei Jun sat cross-legged, with one hand forming a seal in front of his chest and the other pointing towards the void "dome," tapping lightly.
The void "dome" created by the High Heaven Jade Seal contracted, transforming back into a stream of light but not returning to its original state.
Under Lei Jun's control, this stream of light flew entirely into the Grand Heavenly Cycle Jade.
The flickering starlight on the Grand Heavenly Cycle Jade became more dazzling and lifelike.
It seemed as though they possessed their own life and rhythm, akin to the stars in the heavenly canopy above.
Lei Jun did not immediately send the Grand Heavenly Cycle Jade back into the sky. Instead, he continued to study and research it meticulously.
After a while, he extended his finger and pointed at the Grand Heavenly Cycle Jade once more.
Then, the stream of light transformed by the High Heaven Jade Seal flew out and reappeared before Lei Jun.
Lei Jun waved his hand, and the several major seals he had previously embedded also flew out, detaching themselves from the High Heaven Jade Seal.
The major seals hung before Lei Jun as he contemplated and made subtle adjustments to them.
After consecutive adjustments, he reintegrated these seals into the High Heaven Jade Seal and the Grand Heavenly Cycle Jade.
Through continuous attempts and adjustments, the Grand Heavenly Cycle Jade gradually improved, moving closer to Lei Jun's vision.
He conducted a few more tests, sending the Grand Heavenly Cycle Jade back into the sky to observe it before recalling it and making further improvements and fine-tuning.
"Although there's still much room for improvement, the Grand Heavenly Cycle Jade can temporarily return to the sky for now. I'll make gradual adjustments later."
On this day, Lei Jun finally nodded in satisfaction and sent the Grand Heavenly Cycle Jade back into the sky.
With the Heaven-Earth Penetrating Seal revolving in his eyes, the information he could acquire in various aspects expanded even further beyond its original scope.
"Next, I should consider another aspect of the material."
Lei Jun pondered.
He did not act on the Seven Star Sword but instead summoned the Primordial Golden Sword Pill that he had refined earlier. At this moment, he summoned the Nine Abyss True Fire again and performed a secondary refinement, making minute adjustments during the process.
As the Tang Imperial Family sent over the Shenxiao Liujin, Lei Jun was also pondering over it.
However, he did not use it immediately.
This spiritual object, born from the heavens and imbued with abundant lightning power and pure essence, was a force to be reckoned with.
Violent lightning was sealed within the pure essence, surging and restless.
When the Tang Imperial Family sent it over, they had used special techniques to seal it, preventing its power from wreaking havoc.
Lei Jun, however, had no need for such seals.
With his command over the Nine Heavens Godly Thunder and the Xuanxiao Immortal Thunder, his yin and yang harmony was unparalleled.
The Shenxiao Liujin, in Lei Jun's hands, was like a wanderer returning home, calm and serene.
With his Nine Heavens Thunder Law and the Xuanxiao Five Thunders Law, a pair of yin and yang forces, Lei Jun safely stored the Shenxiao Liujin within the Two Extremes and the Grand Ultimate diagram.
Lei Jun had some ideas about this spiritual treasure, but he needed to ponder it further.
In the following days, Lei Jun continued to refine various treasures and artifacts while also cultivating and comprehending divine abilities.
The reconstruction of the Celestial Master's Mansion was nearing completion, and the situation in Dragon-Tiger Mountain was finally stabilizing.
During this period, descendants of the various branches and sects outside the ancestral court, either the sect leaders themselves or their important representatives, arrived at Dragon-Tiger Mountain to pay their respects.
As the ancestral court of the Daoist Talisman Sect, the Celestial Master's Mansion in Dragon-Tiger Mountain had always led the Jiangnan Daoist Sect.
With its many branches, the Talisman Sect had become a vast network.
The Purple Cloud Sect and the Celestial Void Sect, which Lei Jun had visited before, were among these branches.
Over the years, Dragon-Tiger Mountain had weathered many storms, and the entire Daoist Talisman Sect had risen and fallen with it.
Especially after facing the Lin Clan of Jiangzhou, the attack by Huang Tian's Dao, and the war with Li Wai, the influence of the Celestial Master's Mansion had plummeted to its lowest point in recent years.
The entire Daoist Talisman Sect had also felt the impact, and they had no choice but to lay low and quietly recuperate.
It was only after the Celestial Master's Mansion defeated the Lin Clan of Jiangzhou that they finally breathed a sigh of relief and regained their pride.
In the following years, the various sects of the Talisman Sect began to rise again.
These branches and sects grew stronger, solidifying the foundation of Dragon-Tiger Mountain and expanding the influence of the Daoist Talisman Sect.
As their influence grew, various industries under their control continuously provided resources to Dragon-Tiger Mountain.
Things had been going smoothly in recent years until the attack by the Human Realm Country, which presented a new significant challenge.
Fortunately, the Celestial Master's Mansion had successfully weathered this storm.
Although the foundation of the mountain gate had been severely shaken, it was now stable once more.
The Celestial Void Sect, the Purple Cloud Sect, and other branches sent their disciples to pay respects to their ancestral mountain, celebrating the spread of their righteous teachings and the defeat of the Human Realm Country's demonic forces.
As for the high-achieving Elder Yao Yuan, he returned to the back mountain's ancestral tomb, a restricted area, as he had mentioned he would.
This had been decided beforehand, and Lei Jun and his master couldn't force him to stay.
"Judging by the days, the situation in the northwest has reached its most critical moment," Yuan Mobai said.
Currently, only Lei Jun and Yuan Mobai remained as the high-achieving elders guarding the mansion.
This time, the Celestial Master had not shirked her duties.
When her responsibilities and interests overlapped, she always displayed great enthusiasm.
She was currently busy receiving representatives from the various branches and sects, a task she relished.
Lei Jun and his master, on the other hand, focused their attention on the reports sent by Zhang Jingzhen from the northwest.
In the northwestern direction, the Tang Imperial Family had gathered their forces and was engaged in a series of battles with the Lonely Eagle Khanate in Lingzhou and Yuanzhou.
Overall, the Tang Dynasty had gained the upper hand.
More than half of Lingzhou and Yuanzhou's territories had been reclaimed.
The forces of the Lonely Eagle Khanate that had intruded were now split in two.
One group had crossed the river and fled far into the northern desert.
The other group was blocked between the Great and Small Guan Mountains in Yuanzhou.
This was the place where they had first appeared in this world.
It was difficult to pursue the enemies who had escaped into the northern desert due to the harsh environment.
The Tang Imperial Family decided to concentrate their forces south of the river and began to eradicate the remaining enemies in the Great and Small Guan Mountains.
The current goal was to seal the void portal there, and whether they could completely destroy it was yet to be determined.
They would need to capture the area first and then carefully study it.
"Overall, it's good news," Yuan Mobai said, "But various signs and intelligence show that this is just a detachment of the Lonely Eagle Khanate. Their core forces have not come to the Tang Dynasty but are... in the other Human Realm."
This was one of the top secrets currently held by the Tang Imperial Family, shared only with a limited number of people and forces.
In the previous battle, the Tang Army had managed to capture wounded soldiers of the Lonely Eagle Khanate alive.
Through interrogation, the Tang Imperial Family learned more about this sudden new enemy.
The Khanate did not originate from any of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
They also believed that the world they came from was the true Human Realm.
The Khanate's army had been conquering various places in the Human Realm, attacking those who refused to submit.
Currently, they were engaged in a massive war with an ancient country in the western desert, aiming to conquer them.
As the war raged on, a detachment of the Lonely Eagle Khanate had stumbled upon the void 'portal' and inadvertently entered this unfamiliar world.
Hence, while the Tang Dynasty had emerged victorious in this battle, the entire court still regarded the Lonely Eagle Khanate as a significant threat.
"Indeed, there exists more than one Human Realm, but..." Lei Jun frowned, "There are many doubtful points."
The course of the battle in the northwest indicated that the people of the Lonely Eagle Khanate were very familiar with the terrain of the Tang Dynasty's Human Realm.
The group that fled north was able to use the vast desert to their advantage and escape pursuit.
Interrogations of the captives also revealed that the terrain of the Human Realm they came from was extremely similar to that of the Tang Dynasty's Human Realm.
If there was another world like this one...
Lei Jun recalled the novels he had read on Earth before his transmigration, and some speculations formed in his mind.
Unfortunately, the captives from the Tang Imperial Family knew little about the history of that world, or they might have provided more clues.
...Of course, this was the information that the Tang Imperial Family chose to disclose.
It was also possible that some messages were withheld as top secrets and not shared at all.
Lei Jun was curious, but as he had little to go on, he didn't dwell on it and continued to live and cultivate at his own pace.
As his mastery of the Fire Law Earthly Scripture and the Nine Abyss Flame Ancestor Law Image deepened, aided by the Two Extremes Immortal Body and his clear and calm spiritual nature, Lei Jun made new progress every day with the Yang Fire technique he had created.
In the quiet room of his residence, Lei Jun sat cross-legged with absolute tranquility.
On each side of his body, a ball of fire flickered incessantly.
One side emanated a bluish-green hue.
The other side, on the contrary, shone with a reddish-gold radiance.
At the center of these two flames, there was a profound and mysterious talisman, shimmering under the illumination of the firelight.
Enveloped by the viridescent flames, was the Fire Law Earthly Scripture, a direct lineage of the Celestial Master's Mansion.
And facing it in perfect yin and yang contrast, within the reddish-gold flames, was another brand-new divine ability talisman created by Lei Jun himself.
The Primordial Yang Scripture.
From this scripture, an endless stream of scorching Primordial Yang Fire emerged, resembling a true blazing sun at noon.
Compared to the Fire Law Earthly Scripture, a scripture that had been passed down for countless years and refined through countless trials, Lei Jun's newly created Primordial Yang Scripture still had some rough edges.
But like the rising sun climbing towards its zenith, Lei Jun's new scripture exuded a vibrant and vigorous aura, equally intense and resplendent.
The crimson and golden flames danced around the scripture, resembling the flickering tongues of a true sun.
As Lei Jun's essence, qi, spirit, and Daoist law became more refined, a tiger's roar emanated from within the Primordial Yang Fire.
Although Lei Jun had sealed his estate, preventing any sound or fluctuations of spiritual power from escaping, the majestic and fiery aura that shook the heavens was truly awe-inspiring.
Accompanying the tiger's earth-shattering roar, a massive tiger head emerged from the rolling Primordial Yang Fire.
A brand-new Daoist law image, unseen in this world before, had descended upon this mortal realm.
Lei Jun calmly gazed at the colossal tiger head, a smile spreading across his face.
His previous efforts had finally borne fruit.
Following the Dou Mu Star God Law Image, the Xuan Xiao Thunder Ancestor Law Image, the Nine Heavens Thunder Ancestor Law Image, and the Nine Abyss Flame Ancestor Law Image, his fifth law image had finally been established.
The Primordial Yang Flame Ancestor Law Image.
By cultivating the Primordial Yang Scripture, he harnessed the Primordial Yang Fire, giving birth to an enormous golden fire tiger akin to a mountain.
The Yang Fire Tiger, a counterpart to the Yin Fire Tiger.
Lei Jun took a deep breath, stabilizing his mind and spirit, as he continued to silently contemplate the scripture, nurturing his spiritual power.
Later, Lei Jun specifically condensed a Primordial Yang Scripture and sent it to his master, Yuan Mobai.
