Chapter 504: The Law of Space

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After rapidly gaining control of the situation on the Gold Coast, Yang Ling sent the Corpse Wizard King to lead the Great Magical Beasts Army onto the Tibetan Mountain to take over the defense of the Space Cracks on the Gold Coast. He then took the opportunity to go into Wissen Castle to train in cultivation. He hoped to combine the Divinity of the Light Templar Antonio, before venturing into the Graveyard of Deities and Demons, and quickly understand the mystery of the Law of Lightning.

The power of a Divine-level Expert was mainly dependent on two factors. One was on the depth of mastery of the Laws, and another was on how powerful one’s Divine Power was. One could not do without the other. Just like if a student understood how to make a rocket missile, but had had no strength to lift the barrel of the rocket, then he would have no power to hurt anyone and was no better than a butcher who could only use a knife to slaughter cows and sheep.

The people who had mastered the Laws on their own were extremely powerful, often having a deep understanding of the Laws. But, the time spent was also usually extremely long. After spending thousands, even tens of thousands of years, one may not be able to master a new type of Law, not to mention master multiple types of Laws. If one was not able to absorb large amounts of Divine Power, then even if one understood the strongest Law, it would also be useless. It would be like holding the most advanced gun without bullets, and one could only stare at the enemy.

On the contrary, by combining another person’s Divinity, one could not only rapidly master the Law, and take a shortcut, but could also absorb the person’s essence of Divine Power, accumulated over thousands, even tens of thousands of years. So no matter on the Tailun Continent or on alternate dimensions, Divinity was extremely popular. Top-quality Divinity was even harder to get even with a lot of money. Because of this, the people spared no effort in trying to get into the Graveyard of Deities and Demons to look for the Divinity of ancient Deities and Demons.

The great effect of Divinity was without question, but it was also not an easy matter to try and combine the Divinity. A certain amount of time was needed, along with sufficient Divine Power and strong Mental Energy, even more so, a certain serendipity. For some people, even if they had gotten a high-level Divinity, they might not be able to combine it for their entire lives and be down in the dumps.

To an ordinary person, they could only put the Divinity in the palm of their hands and slowly sense the Law contained within the Divinity, at a slow pace. But Yang Ling was different. Even without the Black Marrow Crystal Essence, he also could forcibly swallow the Divinity into his body, his speed of combining quicker by many times. After leveling to Soul Wizard and combining the Soul Crystal, his Soul Energy increased greatly, and the speed at which he combined the Divinity became even faster.

According to the explanation on the Stele, Yang Ling understood that the pure Wish Power of the followers were greatly beneficial to his cultivation. But, he did not expect that the benefits brought about from the Wish Power coming from all over, far exceeded his expectations!

Under Goode’s encouragement, and various Kings’ and Lords’ enthusiastic support, over a hundred Wizard Pagodas were rapidly built on the continent. Within a short period of time, the number of followers grew to tens of thousands. Every Wizard Pagoda was like a radar post, gathering the followers’ Wish Power into Yang Ling’s body, nourishing the thirsty Soul Crystal-like rainwater.

Like before, Yang Ling’s cultivation created an energy whirlpool above the Wissen Castle, that did not dissipate even after a long time, gathering huge amounts of Life Force, Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth, and Astral Energy. But different from before, there was an added element of invisible Wish Power.

Under the stimulation of the immense energy, the Body Honing Wizard Mantra activated by itself, and Yang Ling’s physical body kept strengthening itself, continually strengthening without an end. Every vein and every inch of his bones absorbed large amounts of energy, and the muscles on his whole body kept expanding, contracting, and expanding again, and contracting...Full of explosive power and energy.

After absorbing large amounts of Wish Power, the Soul Crystal, in his mind, emitted a circle of cloudy Crystal Mist, enveloping the entire Wissen Castle. Within the radius of the mist, Yang Ling could clearly see the pulse of each person’s soul. As long as Yang Ling wanted, he could easily lock on to their soul pulses or leave a Soul Seal on their bodies.

In this way, he could immediately teleport to their sides, and could also directly use the Roar of Dead Souls or Soul Explosion to attack their souls at close range. After catching a few wild Magical Beasts to experiment on, Yang Ling confirmed that within the radius of the Crystal Mist, he could soundlessly kill Magical Beasts that were level seven and below. Even for high-level Magical Beasts that were level seven and above, they would also be caught unaware and would be suffering without words. If it was not severe, they would suffer from waves of stabbing pain in their heads. If severe, their consciousness would break down, and they would become a puppet.

“Tsk tsk, this Crystal Mist is more terrifying than Divine Domain! If one day, the radius of the Crystal Mist can be expanded to envelop the entire Magical Beasts Realm or the whole Tailun Continent, then won’t I be able to kill anyone I encounter, be it Buddha or Deities?” After using the Crystal Mist to break through a Lightning Bird’s Soul Seal, and using the Soul Explosion to make it become an idiot, Yang Ling nodded his head in satisfaction. Thereafter, with a hand signal, a minuscule lightning bolt appeared on his fingertips, sizzling away.

After a few days of cultivation, even though he might be unable to combine with the Divinity of the Light Templar Antonio, and was unable to master the Law of Lightning, after a many failures, he finally could directly use the Lightning Attack, and could also add on lightning damage to the Blood Elf Dagger and the Ice Wind Storm. Be it his close combat capabilities or long-range attack, all of them were much better than before.

“Poor fellow, go on!”

Looking at the idiot Lightning Bird, which had lost consciousness, Yang Ling gave a light flick, and a mini snake-like lightning bolt was rapidly fired, electrocuting the bird and burning it to charcoal. Even though the lightning might not look like much, its attack power could not be overlooked. While, when compared to the Light Templar Antonio, who had mastery of the Law of Lightning, it was still a distance away at the moment, but it was comparable to the Unicorn, which specialized in Lightning Attacks!

There was truly a difference in the speed of training after absorbing large amounts of Wish Power!

Feeling the power of faith that was all around him, and could only be absorbed by himself, the Great Soul Wizard, Yang Ling saw the hope of rapidly advancing to the next level. If he were to continue training like this, it might not take long for him to ascend to the level of so-called Mid-level Deity or even High-level Deity. In the past, he had still felt that all the Experts like the so-called Core Deities or Dimensional Wanderers in this world were far beyond his reach, but right now, standing on the Great Wizard Altar carved full of mysterious runes, and looking up at the vast sky full of stars, he was full of hope and anticipation for the future.

Wish Power could increase Soul Energy, and increase the speed of cultivation, but could Wish Power be used as a special type of Soul Seal and be transported to the side of each faithful follower accurately using the Teleportation Portal?

Feeling the Wish Power that was ever-present in the air, Yang Ling had a sudden thought.

According to Elder Brent’s explanations and the memories of the Light Templar Antonio, while there were countless organic and semi-organic dimensions outside of the Tailun Continent, there were only Life, Order, Nature, Energy, Death, and Chaos in the Core Dimension. While there were many Laws, they were only of these six main types.

People who had mastery of the Law of Life had extremely strong Life Force, even if they were fatally wounded all over, they would be able to live as long as they a breath of life left. Naturally, this Law had the most branches and was the easiest to master, but at the same time, the hardest to have complete control over. The Laws of Energy, Death, and Chaos had their own unique points. They were hard to master, but once mastered, one’s attack power would become extremely astonishing.

Compared to the Laws of Energy, Death, and Chaos, the Law of Order was even more difficult to comprehend. The Law of Space which was branched out from the Law of Order, was, legend had it, even a Domain that a Core Deity Expert found difficult to comprehend. According to legend, the person who mastered the Law of Space would truly become an Expert that was immortal, being able to come and go freely among countless dimensions.

In the past, by using the Five Element Evasion Technique and powerful Mental Energy, Yang Ling could instantly teleport within a certain distance. After making the mysterious Teleportation Portal, the speed of his teleportation became faster, and the distance longer. As long as he had a clear point of reference, he could immediately and accurately teleport over.

As his Soul Energy increased, the clearer Yang Ling could sense the souls of his followers when they prayed. He wondered if one day, he could accurately teleport to each of his followers based on this soul sense if it could be counted as him gaining an understanding of the legendary Law of Space.

“Maybe, one day, I’ll find Lord Raymond and ask him!”

Even though he did not know what stage of cultivation the God of Fire Raymond was at, but then, having seen the Mid-level Deities, the Chief Elven Priest and Chief Elder of the Dark Association, being polite and deferential to him, Yang Ling knew that Raymond’s power definitely far exceeded an ordinary Divine Level Expert. They would be going to the Graveyard of Deities and Demons soon. Then, he would be able to find a chance to consult with him.

While he was temporarily unable to teleport to each follower, there was not much difficulty in teleporting to every Wizard Pagoda. After suddenly feeling a wave of particularly strong Wish Power coming from the East of the Gold Coast, Yang Ling made a Wizard Mantra signal, and soundlessly teleported over, preparing to take a look at what exactly was the matter.

This was a remote mountainous area. The simple Wizard Pagoda was built within a valley full of flora and fauna. Under the faint moonlight, looking out, all one could see were rolling mountain ridges and a lush abundance of trees. The Wizard Pagoda was well-built, and the Spell Formation meant to gather the Wish Power of the followers were according to regulation. But the furnishings within the pagoda were simple. There were no luxurious crystal chandeliers, but only a few torches that were burning bright. There were no top-quality carpets on the floor, but only a few simple pieces of animal skins at the prayer area.

The thick wooden door gave off an unwavering smell of tree paint. To the left of the door, was a stretcher made from tying tree branches together. On it, laid a motionless young man, whose face was turning black. A group of natives wearing animal skins were gathered in the Wizard Tower, sincerely praying. There were men and women, young and old. Without exception, all of them were awash with tears.

Yang Ling could tell that this Wizard Pagoda was newly built, and the natives themselves were not wealthy.

After teleporting near the Wizard Pagoda, Yang Ling took a black cloak out of his Space Ring to wear, and retrieved a black Dragon Bone Staff, disguising himself as a Spellcaster that was passing through, preparing to find out more about the situation by walking into the Wizard Pagoda.

In the wee hours of the morning, and a normal person would have long been in dreamland. If so many people were gathered together and praying while crying, there must have been an incident that had happened!
