Chapter 137: Capturing the Laws

When Chen Ansheng heard this, he was filled with joy.

Isn’t this another opportunity?!

“Senior, I’ve only just broken through to the Immortal Ninth Realm a few days ago. How can you help me?” Chen Ansheng knew the old man had extraordinary means but couldn’t help but ask.

“Do you still have over a hundred ink crystals on you?” the old man asked.

“Of course I do.” Chen Ansheng nodded.

“Then that will be sufficient.” The old man paused for a moment and continued, “I have a Spirit Melding Talisman here. You only need to merge those ink crystals into Immortal Spiritual Power. There’s no need for you to cultivate; it can directly integrate into your limbs and bones, elevating you to the peak of the Immortal Ninth Realm. At that time, I can assist you in successfully breaking through to the True Immortal Realm.”

“So magical?” Chen Ansheng’s eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, “Senior, how many of these talismans do you have?”

“Don’t think too much of it, young friend. This talisman was obtained from an ancient clan’s ruins. No one today can refine it, so I only have this one.” The old man smiled.

“Even you, a Law Cultivator, can’t refine it?” Chen Ansheng was still not willing to give up, asking further.

“It’s not about ability.” The old man waved his hand and said, “But rather that the laws associated with this talisman have already vanished, and it cannot be refined.”

Chen Ansheng, feeling disappointed, said, “May I ask how to address you, Senior?”

The old man replied, “I am Ji Hongfu.” He then asked, “What do you call yourself, young friend?”

Chen Ansheng cupped his hands and said, “I am called Chen Ansheng.”

Ji Hongfu nodded with a smile, saying, “’With a peaceful heart and no contention, where in the world is there not peace?’ It is indeed a good name.”

Chen Ansheng forced a smile, thinking that his grandmother didn’t have such literary talent. She chose this name only for its auspicious meaning.

“Oh right, Senior, what about my black dragon mount?”

Only then did Chen Ansheng remember the black dragon that had been beaten and was at death’s door.

“Ha ha, no need to worry. I have placed him in the Spirit Pool, and he is currently healing.” Ji Hongfu said.

“That’s good to hear.” Chen Ansheng nodded and then said, “If I had known earlier, I would have thrown in some more ink crystals into that pool. Once you have enough Immortal Power, you should be able to subdue that alien being easily, right?”

Ji Hongfu, however, shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, “Currently, my Immortal body is damaged, and my Law Palace’s dantian cannot be used. Even if I had more Immortal Power, I could only sustain my life and the seal.”

Chen Ansheng then recalled that when he met Elder Ji last time, he mentioned this issue. “It’s alright. Given some time, once I gather the herbs, you will definitely be able to recover to your peak.”

Ji Hongfu seemed somewhat comforted and said, “Then I am relying on you, young friend.”

Chen Ansheng cupped his hands and smiled, saying, “Not at all; I will also rely on your teachings.”

When it came to the subject of teaching the Law, Ji Hongfu’s expression became more serious, saying, “Chen young friend, this dual law cultivation method of mine is something that no one else in the world can learn besides me. When you open your Law Palace, it will be exceptionally painful. Whether you succeed or not is uncertain, so you must be mentally prepared.”

Chen Ansheng said, “That’s nothing. Just a bit of pain. I can grit my teeth and get through it.”

This dual law cultivation method was a unique path found only in two Immortal Realms and several other alien realms. Not to mention Chen Ansheng, even if there were opportunities, those unparalleled talents would probably rush to cultivate it, risking their lives.

“Good, good, good. Before that, you should focus on dual cultivating the martial and mystical path to lay a solid foundation. Once I recover, I will condense your Law Palace and teach you my methods.”

“Hmm, time is of the essence. Why not let me practice the ‘Soul Locking and Body Splitting Method’ now and ask Senior Ji for guidance?”

Ji Hongfu immediately agreed, saying, “Alright, while I still have some Immortal Power, I can help you split your soul and body faster. Chen young friend, follow me.”

Then, Chen Ansheng stood up and followed Ji Hongfu into a thatched hut.

This hut appeared simple from the outside but contained a vast space, forming a small world within.

“Senior, what are those things?”

Entering a tower, Chen Ansheng saw a row of large transparent bottles in front of him.

Inside each bottle, there were various oddly shaped and differently colored things writhing.

Ji Hongfu walked up to the row of bottles, pointing at the first one, saying, “Chen young friend, what do you think this writhing thing in the bottle looks like?”

Chen Ansheng focused his eyes and saw that there was a ball of green flame in the bottle that sometimes formed the shape of an infant and sometimes morphed into a clawing, demonic figure. He shook his head and said, “Forgive my ignorance, I don’t know what this is.”

“Haha.” Ji Hongfu chuckled and said, “You aren’t a Law Cultivator, so it’s normal that you can’t tell. I won’t keep you in suspense; this is a law from another realm that I captured in the forbidden zone.”

Chen Ansheng was stunned.

A law from another realm?

Laws can actually be imprisoned?

This was simply unheard of.

After a moment, Chen Ansheng exclaimed, “Senior truly has remarkable skills! But I wonder, what use is this other realm law to you?”

“It has great utility!” Ji Hongfu said, somewhat self-satisfied as he admired his work, then continued, “Laws like this are born from lost realms and possess uniqueness. If I master it and integrate it into my Law Palace, I would have attack methods that other cultivators find hard to comprehend. If they don’t understand, how can they defend? Without the ability to defend, they can only passively take a beating. In this way, wouldn’t I have the upper hand in every regard?”

Only then did Chen Ansheng see the light.

He remembered that Elder Ji had previously mentioned that even the legendary Immortal Sovereigns and Immortal Emperors were striving for dual cultivation methods.

What was the aim?

It was to possess means that others did not have, thus creating a gap with those of the same realm!

“Elder Ji’s talent truly leaves me in awe!”

Chen Ansheng couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

“Hehe.” Ji Hongfu smiled lightly and said, “This is nothing. When you inherit my dual law cultivation method in the future, you will naturally be able to achieve this as well.”

Chen Ansheng’s heart was filled with anticipation.

After a brief pause, Chen Ansheng shamelessly said, “Elder Ji, when I successfully cultivate the Soul Locking and Body Splitting Method, could you send me a law from another realm to comprehend?”

Ji Hongfu repeatedly waved his hand and said, “That won’t be possible.”

Chen Ansheng couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed and said, “Elder Ji, don’t be so stingy. I can trade with Immortal Stones if need be.”

Ji Hongfu smiled and said, “You think of me as that type of person? If you can cultivate, I could give you all these laws. Unfortunately, you haven’t opened your Law Palace yet, so you can’t cultivate these other realm laws.”

Chen Ansheng frowned and said, “That’s strange. Elder Ji, didn’t you say that as long as I cultivate the Soul Locking and Body Splitting Method, I can cultivate both martial and mystical paths? This other realm law is also a ‘method’; why can’t I cultivate it?”

Ji Hongfu walked over, slowly explaining, “Laws are foundational. Your body, Immortal soul, blood, etc., were all born under the laws of the Martial Immortal Realm, so they can only resonate with the laws of the Martial Immortal Realm.

“To cultivate other realm laws, there are three methods: First, you must be in an alien world. Second, you must transform your Immortal body by integrating bones, flesh, etc., of alien beings into yourself. Third, you must condense your Law Palace, which essentially serves as a chaotic space where any law can theoretically be deduced and stored.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ansheng furrowed his brows even tighter.

Since even a mystical cultivator cannot cultivate the laws of another realm, then where did the aura of the laws from another realm in the Xuanyang Immortal Mansion come from?
