255 THE SEARCH BEGINS

Long Tao was supposed to worry about the huge number of resources required to break-through the King level. “Can the avatars undergo break-through at different times?”

“It should be possible to do so?” The Keeper replied.

“Master Ti Shen will take care of the break-through of Lu Ming. I need to discuss with him the amount required to propel me to that level. From what I deduce, the number of resources shouldn’t exceed the training resources required by advance Qi Kings. The master should be able to arrange that for me.”

“As for Li Meng, the old man could handle it. He knows about my motive too, which would make the discussion unnecessary.”

“The dean at Star Emperor academy can take care of my break-through to Qi King. I can even ask him for some extra resources to help in the break-through of the other avatars.”

“The last time we met the Dean, he was someone who was about to break-through to the Qi Emperor realm. What I assume by this instance is that Star Emperor Academy should be a Monarch level power, with multiple Qi Monarchs present within their ranks. It shouldn’t be too much of a burden for them.”

“What I am worried about is the rest of the avatars. You have enough resources to help 2 people break-through the Qi King level, but your overall resources would be diminished.”

“Don’t we have enough fire elements stones and the frost spring?”

“You are cultivating omni-elements art along with Hell- Heaven Qi. Although the fire and frost resources are enough to train until Qi King Peak, what about the rest of the attributes? They would be exhausted by the time the two avatars break-through. The major problem is our inability to estimate the number of resources required to reach the Chaos law level.”

.....

“Can’t we have a conservative estimate?”

“If we assume it according to the conservative regulations of how each grade of law differs from each other, I would say that we have enough resources. Since no one has ever attained such a realm in my knowledge, we couldn’t start to fathom the insane amount required.”

“We should probably go through break-through one after the other. We will begin with Li Meng’s break-through. It would not only help us grasp an idea about the number of resources required, it could also become a reference for future break-through.”

“That would probably be a good idea. To my knowledge, the most powerful Crimson Lord was only able to connect with four Heavenly Laws with a single body and he almost busted to death. According to traditional sequence, single Chaos laws should be more powerful than the four heavenly laws combined. The limit should be a single Chaos law per body.”

“I believe that should be the initial aim. Once I have multiple break-throughs, I could probably think about connecting with multiple Chaos laws.”

The Keepers nodded in agreement. One must have a perfect estimate of the requirements to achieve a single chaotic law. Long Tao could probably have more than one in a single body during the last phases.

“We will hence continue the collection of resources after these three undergo their break-through. While you consolidate your realms, I want all your training resources to be poured into the breakthrough of the rest of the avatars.”

“We also need to find some depositories of natural resources, a blessed land, or even an ancient inheritance. These are the best ways to gain a huge set of resources.”

........................................................

Long Tao began to communicate with the brownstone guild about the natural depositories and inheritances which were found within the central plains. Although the amount charged was quite hefty, he did get a huge list of possibly blessed lands, depositories and ancient inheritances.

“The first place is called the sea of bones, which is near the western boundary of the central plains. It was apparently the battleground for an ancient war and multiple figures fell within the Sea of Bones. The danger was so great that the minimum strength required to even inspect the surrounding area was Qi King.

Since Long Tao possessed the power of a normal intermediate Qi King, he decided to check this place out for tempering and collection resources.

“The second location is called the Emperor perishing range. It was created after internal strife broke out among the powers within the central plains and many emperors and higher-level cultivators died there. A hegemonic figure is said to have converted the whole range into a graveyard where geniuses of future generations could go in and try their luck out.”

“The third location is called the Death Frost valley, which is currently under the jurisdiction of a coalition of various forces who cultivate ice-elemental arts. It includes the frost-leaf sect, the snow valley, the pine-garden, The ice-god kingdom among others. It was opened to all with the baseline of paying a predesignated amount of Qi stones.”

“They would also have a part of any major inheritance one could find within the valley. 50 % of the resources will become the possession of the coalition, while the other 50% belongs to the cultivator who found it.”

“Another impressive sight is the Taiwan mountain range which is said to be housing multiple elemental veins. It is an active volcano and hence is a paradise for fire element cultivators.”

The baseline for every single one of these places was to become a Qi King. Only with the power of a Qi King would someone have enough assurance about their chances to score a set number of resources.

“Concentrate on comprehending every single art you possess to its very peak. Other avatars could use the time to search for more regions to go into and gain resources from. Once Li Meng breakthroughs the Qi King level, he will be in charge of collecting the resources while the other avatars continue on their cultivation.”

“Wouldn’t it become impossible for the avatars to hold back a break-through when the energy levels reach their very peak?”

“It would be difficult, but they would be able to hold out if you use them as a support for the break-through of other avatars.”

“Are you suggesting that I use one avatar’s energy reserves to propel another avatar during its break-through?”

“It’s possible. Theoretically, they would be the perfect source for propelling another avatar as each one of them has cultivated the same type of energy. What do you say?”

Long Tao thought about it for a minute and then agreed. This should be a good direction to follow up on. Li Meng could use the time to find resources in these restricted zones.

“You should send some of your avatars to the restricted zones to collect information about the situation there. It is better to have a clear perspective on which forces you are going to face during the seizure of resources.”

.................................

The old man and two of his disciples were busy discussing Li Meng’s break-through.

“The resources are enough to set up the perfect formation for junior brother’s break-through.” One of them suggested.

“I hope that he is capable of achieving the goal he is running towards.”

“Can master describe the strange realm he is trying to achieve?” Both of them were Heavenly law cultivators who had already stepped into the Qi Emperor realm. They wanted to know about the mysterious realm.

“The realm is said to be the very pinnacle of law domains, someplace where one could connect with the unrestricted laws of creation itself. Heavenly Laws are still connected to Heaven, but the realm above that is constituted by the very essence of origin. No one knows the exact effects of such a realm.”

“Could junior brother compete for a position in that competition?”

“The only ray of hope is to reach that realm. Even if he connects with Heavenly law, he would be prepared for the competition by that time. Only by achieving that realm is there any chance of competing in that arena.”
