Chapter 320: Three Types of Constructed Life

12/30/2024

"Although the Truth Parliament forbids combat between wizards, you know that it's a loose organization with limited control over True Spirit Wizards. Moreover, many True Spirit Wizards have grudges against each other."

Hearing Mai Ya's words, Su Nan nodded in understanding.

Not to mention the age-old grudges between the Orderly and Dark Wizard factions, even wizards from the same faction often have some conflicts with each other.

True Spirit Wizards can temporarily set aside their grudges for the sake of interests and unite, but they can also turn on each other for the same reasons.

It was manageable in Wizard Town, but once outside, beyond the reach of the Truth Parliament, as long as they could eliminate their opponents, there would be no need to worry about any aftermath.

In such a situation, facing the temptation of Rule Nodes, it's unlikely that many True Spirit Wizards could resist.

The same is true for the deities.

This is why neither the deities nor the True Spirit Wizards concentrate their forces to compete for Temporary Rule Nodes.

When everyone is scheming against each other, no one wants to risk being backstabbed.

Along the way, the four chatted casually, allowing Su Nan to learn much more about the Realm of Truth.

"We're about to enter the Buffer Zone, so we must be extremely cautious to prevent any surprise attacks."

Mai Ya's expression turned slightly more serious.

Morik and Ortis also became solemn, and their bodies glowed with faint Rule Brilliance.

Su Nan observed them carefully and guessed that Morik and Ortis both mastered Elemental Rules.

The former was Hurricane Rule.

The latter was Flame Rule.

As for Mai Ya, she hadn't demonstrated her power yet, so Su Nan couldn't tell.

After entering the Buffer Zone, the four stopped talking and instead carefully sensed their surroundings, searching for traces of Rule Nodes.

This search lasted for over half a month.

After so many consecutive days without finding a Rule Node, Mai Ya and the other two remained remarkably calm.

Searching for Temporary Rule Nodes is a matter of luck, and it's normal to go years without finding any.

Anyway, being in the unique environment of the Realm of Truth, even without deliberate cultivation, their understanding of Rules was improving every moment, so Su Nan wasn't worried about wasting time.

It's worth mentioning that, for some unknown reason, perhaps due to the special environment, Su Nan was surprised to find that the Rule Core in the depths of his Mind Sea seemed to have become more active.

Consequently, the speed of his immersion in high-level Rule Power also increased significantly.

"At this rate, in another two years, I should be able to complete the transformation of Rule Power."

Su Nan nodded silently.

Just then, Mai Ya suddenly spoke up:

"Let's search for two more days, and then we'll return to Wizard Town."

The other three naturally had no objections.

The Realm of Truth is vast beyond imagination, and the Buffer Zone alone, which occupies about one-fifth of the entire realm, is much larger than the Starlight Continent.

But all four of them were True Spirit Wizards, and their search speed could only be described as lightning-fast.

In this half month, they had almost completely searched the Buffer Zone for Temporary Rule Nodes, so continuing the search wouldn't be very meaningful. It would be better to return to cultivate for a while before coming back.

However, on the second day of searching, Su Nan suddenly sensed a strong Rule Fluctuation and abruptly stopped.

The other three were drawn to Su Nan's actions, and Mai Ya's expression became more serious. She asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Nan concentrated and sensed for a while, then said with a strange expression, "I think I've found a Rule Node."

After all, it was his first time, so he wasn't sure if his perception was correct.

Hearing this, Mai Ya and the other two exchanged glances.

In their perception, there was no obvious Rule Fluctuation in the surroundings.

Morik hesitated, "We didn't sense any Rule Fluctuations."

At this moment, Mai Ya's expression changed, and she looked deeply into Su Nan's eyes, asking, "Su Nan, which Rule do you master?"

Asking a True Spirit Wizard about the Rule they master is quite presumptuous.

However, considering that they might have to fight together in the future, and that Mai Ya and the other two would eventually find out the Rule he mastered, Su Nan didn't intend to hide it. He answered honestly,

"Gravity and Thunder."

As soon as he finished speaking, Morik and Ortis were shocked, their eyes widening in surprise.

"Dual Rules!"

Mai Ya, on the other hand, showed an expression of realization and exclaimed, "No wonder."

"True Spirit Wizards who master Dual Rules have far superior sensitivity and range in sensing Rule Fluctuations compared to those who master a single Rule."

"In the Realm of Truth, a Dual Rule Wizard like you often senses Rule Fluctuations before we do.

"Morik and Ortis exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

The reason they had proactively suggested teaming up with Su Nan was to look after him as seniors and build a good relationship with this talented individual. However, they never expected such a pleasant surprise.

Having a dual-law wizard in the team would undoubtedly make searching for law nodes much easier.

More importantly, a True Spirit Sorcerer who mastered dual laws, even if they had just been promoted, would not be weaker than many True Spirit Sorcerers who had been promoted for hundreds or thousands of years.

At least Morik and Ortis were not fully confident in defeating a newly promoted dual-law True Spirit Sorcerer.

At this moment, even Mai Ya couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Becoming a True Spirit Sorcerer in less than three thousand years was impressive enough, but to have achieved it with dual laws, one of which was a rule-based law, was beyond the description of genius!

It was simply astonishing!

Snapping back to reality, Mai Ya quickly asked, "Which direction?"

"Follow me."

Su Nan made a quick decision and flew towards the direction where he sensed the law fluctuations.

Mai Ya and the others hurried to catch up.

Before long, the three of them also sensed the law fluctuations, and their faces simultaneously lit up with joy.

"This feeling is right! It's a law node!"

"Haha, who would've thought we'd be this lucky, finding something so soon!"

"It's all thanks to Su Nan."

In their excitement, the group immediately sped up, and it wasn't long before they reached the location where the law fluctuations originated.

Su Nan soon got a clear view of the law node.

Unexpectedly, it was a sapling that stood less than a meter tall.

Calling it a sapling seemed inappropriate; it merely had the outline of a sapling, but its interior resembled a starry sky, sparkling and scattered, as if a starry sky had been embedded into the void in the shape of a sapling, emitting a profound and mysterious aura.

Just a glance was enough for Su Nan to feel a soul-stirring sensation, and his understanding of the Gravity Law and Thunder Law seemed to have slightly improved at that moment.

His heart stirred, and he quickly summoned the panel, only to find that the levels of both the Gravity Law and Thunder Law had increased.

The former had risen by 2.35 levels, while the latter had directly surged by 4.18 levels.

"When a True Spirit Sorcerer sees a law node up close for the first time, their understanding of the law will slightly improve."

As if sensing Su Nan's surprise, Mai Ya chuckled and explained.

"There's even this kind of benefit."

Su Nan was amazed and even more delighted.

It seemed that the effect of the law node was more powerful than he had anticipated, and he might be able to raise the Gravity Law to 100 levels very soon.

"Not bad, this law node is quite substantial." Ortis's face was filled with a delighted smile, "I estimate it can last for at least a decade or two, and it's more than enough to accommodate all four of us for cultivation."

The number of people a law node can accommodate simultaneously is limited and depends on its size.

The larger the size, the more people it can accommodate for cultivation at the same time.

If the number of people exceeds the capacity of the law node, it will significantly shorten the node's duration.

When a group of True Spirit Sorcerers finds a temporary law node, they usually take turns cultivating.

Most temporary law nodes can accommodate 2 to 3 people simultaneously.

This law node before them could probably accommodate 5 or 6 people cultivating at the same time.

"We shouldn't delay, let's quickly set up the defense spell array and start cultivating."

Morik's tone carried a hint of impatience.

The four of them quickly got to work, setting up spell arrays around the area, mainly for concealing life auras and law fluctuations, as well as defense.

Of course, even True Spirit Sorcerers couldn't completely hide law fluctuations; they could only reduce them, making it harder for others to sense the law fluctuations from a distance.

The four True Spirit Sorcerers worked swiftly, and it wasn't long before they finished setting up the spell array.

During this process, Su Nan's proficiency and exquisite skills surprised Mai Ya and the others.

Strictly speaking, setting up spell arrays belonged to the field of magic item manufacturing, and both Mai Ya and Morik and Ortis had immersed themselves in this field for at least tens of thousands of years, which had led to their current skill level.

However, Su Nan's skill level was no less than theirs, and it even surpassed Mai Ya, who was relatively younger.

It was hard to imagine that someone could become so proficient in magic item manufacturing while also rapidly improving their strength. It was truly baffling.

Noticing the change in their expressions, Su Nan didn't offer any further explanations.

Among the four skills, magic item manufacturing was the one he had practiced the most over the years.

Law gemstones, law cores, and the various facilities in the floating city had provided him with ample experience.

With Magic Item Crafting being his highest-level skill at Level 8, far surpassing his other skills, it had become his most advanced ability.

Even among True Spirit Sorcerers, few could match this level of expertise.

Before long, a dense array of large spell arrays covered an area of one kilometer around the Law Node, suppressing the law fluctuations to a minimum.

The four, including Su Nan, had their life and soul auras completely concealed.

They didn't bother with illusion spell arrays for visual cover, as these were ineffective against True Spirit Sorcerers.

When the Law Node came into view, True Spirit Sorcerers would have already sensed the anomaly.

In addition to the spell arrays, each of the four also placed over ten Supreme Magic Statues around them for protection.

Mai Ya even brought out an Arcane Guardian.

The Arcane Guardian, with its appearance resembling a Diamond Golem but with a more slender and humanoid form, was crafted from rare metals and adorned with intricate runes on its silver body.

Su Nan couldn't help but take a few more glances at the Arcane Guardian.

He was still undecided about which Constructed Life to use for his Floating City's final battle sequence.

Among the many Constructed Lives, the Arcane Guardian excelled in close combat, though it could also cast some ranged attacks like Mana Cannons and other long-range spells. Its primary role was to enhance itself with various spell enhancements and engage enemies in melee combat.

The Mithril Sage, on the other hand, was a ranged specialist, loaded with common spells from Zero Ring to Nine Ring, and some unique spells depending on the creator. It was a spellcasting powerhouse, capable of various spell attacks as long as it had sufficient energy.

These two Constructed Lives, one melee and one ranged, complemented each other, creating a synergy that many Floating Cities favored.

Mana Armored Constructs came in melee, ranged, and balanced configurations, all determined by the creator's preferences.

The surprise Su Nan gave others was one after another.

With the Arcane Guardian and over ten Supreme Magic Statues, they could even withstand a Divinity's surprise attack for a moment, giving the four of them time to react.

Only after they were fully prepared, the four of them sat down and began their Law comprehension, each taking a position at the North, South, East, and West of the Law Node.

The instant they touched the essence of the Law, they understood why so many True Spirit Sorcerers were drawn to the Law Node.

The vibrant Law Power filled every inch of space around them, dancing like the energy particles on the Starlight Continent, and with a mere thought, Su Nan could easily resonate and communicate more deeply with the Law Power.

Even in the Soul-Drowning Plane, his comprehension of the Gravity Law hadn't been this effortless.

"This effect is almost as good as the New Moon Goddess!"

Su Nan marveled in his mind.

With this environment, within three hundred years, he was confident he could break through the Gravity Law to the Manipulation Rank!

"This is truly the Holy Land of Sorcerers."

Su Nan cleared his mind of distractions, immersing himself completely in his Law comprehension.
