Chapter 590: Chapter 589-making the rules

Translator: 549690339

The ancient Buddha Emperor!

Qin shujian had not expected this either.

The rules that the other party had comprehended were also the rules of power.

He looked at the ancient Buddha Emperor's projection before him. Qin shujian took a step forward and was already engaged in battle with his opponent.

BOOM!

A terrifying power erupted in the river of laws.

The two terrifying figures were fighting each other.

The ancient Buddha Emperor at this moment …

It wasn't the real ancient Buddha Emperor. It was just an imprint that he had left in the river of laws.

In other words …

The ancient Buddha Emperor had been here before.

However, this didn't mean that the other party had only come this far.

He thought about the ancient Buddha Emperor's strength.

Qin shujian understood that even though the other party had yet to reach the end of the rules of power, he had definitely walked quite a long way.

At least …

It wasn't something he could compare to now.

This was because Qin shujian had also felt an immense amount of pressure when he was fighting against the ancient Buddha Emperor's illusory figure.

In the river of laws.

The power of the main body could not be used, unless the cultivator's physical body entered the long river of laws.

so,

What the two sides were competing on now was the comprehension of the rules of power.

However, from the start of the fight until now …

Qin shujian was at a disadvantage.

The ancient Buddha Emperor was very powerful. At the very least, his comprehension of the laws was much stronger than his.

The Emperor of the ancient Buddha clan.

He did not know how many years he had been in the Nirvana stage.

Perhaps the other party had already reached the point where he could become an immortal on the spot.

He didn't know how long the battle lasted.

The long blade in his hand slashed down on the ancient Buddha Emperor's body, and a terrifying power seeped into his body. At the same time, Qin shujian took the blow head-on, and his divine will was instantly obliterated.

The scene changed.

Hmph! Qin shujian let out a muffled groan, and a stream of blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth.

He was defeated!

He had lost to the ancient Buddha Emperor in the clash of power rules.

as expected of the Emperor of a clan. His strength is indeed strong! Qin shujian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. The desire to fight rose in his eyes.

“How's the harvest?”

The God slaying saber couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this.

Qin shujian regained his composure and smiled faintly. the harvest is not bad. I feel that my grasp of the laws is much stronger than before. It's enough even if I can summon my territory.

At this point.

The smile on Qin shujian's face froze.

Domain!

That was the symbol of a powerful being.

He had been painstakingly suppressing his realm all this time, and he was not going to break through now.

Qin shujian immediately looked at his attribute panel.

Fortunately …

His realm was still at the fifth level of celestial realm.

When he saw this.

He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

“It seems that in order to break through to the next realm, apart from reaching a certain level of law comprehension, the cultivation technique itself might also reach a certain level. I haven't reached the sixth stage of the spirit chapter of the GUI Yuan ancestral Codex, which is why I haven't broken through to the sixth stage of the Deva realm. If that's the case, it's actually a good thing for me. '

Qin shujian had some thoughts.

Immediately after.

He looked at the God slaying saber and asked,”senior, how do celestial realm cultivators evaluate their realms? is it based on their cultivation techniques or their comprehension of nomological rules?”

Or perhaps both?”

Hearing this question …

The God slaying saber didn't answer immediately. It seemed like it was thinking about how to say it.

After a long time.

He opened his mouth and said, “when you ask this question, there is one thing that you need to understand in advance. That is, what is a technique and what is a realm. In fact, when heaven and earth evolved, there were no so-called techniques and no so-called divisions of realms.

The ancient cultivators all relied on their instincts to breathe in and out the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, as well as to increase their strength by circulating their qi and blood to temper their bodies.” such cultivators were known as Qi refinement Warriors in ancient times!

“Later on, as the world was born for a long time, the spiritual energy in the world gradually changed from innate to acquired. It was no longer possible to cultivate in this way, so Supreme Masters created cultivation techniques to make it easier for people to cultivate.

The classification of cultivation techniques was actually based on the speed of cultivation and the upper limit.

The appearance of cultivation techniques was accompanied by the birth of realms. When the two first appeared, they weren't too compatible, but after countless years of polishing and improvement, they evolved step by step into what they are now.” when one's cultivation technique breaks through to a new level, one's realm will also reach the corresponding level. This is the process of compatibility.

later on, there were some strong cultivators who understood the heavenly mandate and knew that the cultivators in the world had limited lifespans. Only then did they completely perfect the evolution process of realms, and thus formed the current systematic cultivation method.

The God slaying saber's words were a little messy.

However, Qin shujian was able to understand part of it.

To put it simply.

In the beginning, there were no realms in the world, nor were there any cultivation techniques. It was only later on that some experts created cultivation techniques for the convenience of cultivation. In order to correspond to the cultivation techniques, realms were finally created.

Then, there would be powerhouses who understood the heavenly fate and knew how long the lifespan of the cultivators in the world was. In the end, they would complete the realm.

but in ancient times, there weren't so many complicated realms, ” the God slaying saber said. the level of strength you have is equivalent to the level of a cultivator.

For example, if you were able to fight against someone at the tenth level of celestial realm, would you be at the fifth level? No, you're strictly at the tenth level of celestial realm.

However, if there are powerhouses who understand the heavenly fate and set down rules, then if you can't reach that realm, you can't be considered a cultivator of that realm, even if your combat power is heaven-defying.”

Soon after.

“Do you know what level of cultivation technique is after the deity cultivation technique?” the God slaying saber asked.

“Senior, please tell me.” Qin shujian was humble and eager to learn. The higher his cultivation level was, the more he wanted to understand.

Because to him.

It would be an opportunity to explore.

“Actually, after the divinity cultivation technique, there are no more cultivation techniques,” the God slaying saber said.”This is because cultivation techniques only tap into the potential of the physical body. After a cultivator breaks through to the celestial being realm, the first three stages are about the unity of essence, spirit, and soul, as well as the fusion of spirit and body.

However, starting from the fourth level of celestial being, what was important was the comprehension of the rules. No matter how strong a cultivation technique was, it was impossible to touch the rules. Therefore, strictly speaking, the level of one's comprehension of the rules depended on the level of the cultivator.

However, as I've said before, there are Supreme experts who have created cultivation techniques and divided the realms. There are also experts who have comprehended the will of the heavens and set some rules.” when faced with such a rule, you can't compete with it without surpassing it. So, everything must be done according to the rules.

“For example, your comprehension of the laws has surpassed the fifth-level and reached the eighth or ninth-level, but your cultivation technique is still stuck at the fifth-level.

So, are you at the eighth or ninth level of the celestial realm, or the fifth level?” In the face of the God slaying saber's question …

Qin shujian pondered for a moment before he replied, “”1 should be at the eighth or ninth level of the celestial realm?”

“That's right!”

The God slaying saber nodded and spoke as if he was worthy of being taught.

“In fact, you're already an Almighty cultivator now, but you're still using what I said before. There are strong people who set the rules, and the rules set by the other party are the cultivation technique and the comprehension of the rules.

In other words, your current comprehension of the laws is sufficient, but your comprehension of the cultivation technique is insufficient, so you are still at the fifth level of celestial being.

But …”

The God slaying saber stopped for a moment.

He had said too much in one breath, and he had also thought about some things in detail.

After a while.

The God slaying saber continued, ” however … If you don't cultivate cultivation techniques and only focus on pursuing the laws, then your realm might remain at the fifth-stage celestial realm.

However, when you reach the end of your comprehension of the laws and reach the point where you can completely grasp them .

At that moment, you will become an ancient true immortal.”

“If you don't want to be bound by the rules, you have to reach the same level. If you master the rules, you won't be bound by the rules set by the strong. So, from that moment on, your realm will jump from the fifth level of celestial realm to the true immortal realm.

However, as long as you haven't taken that one step, you're still at the fifth level of celestial realm. You should understand what I'm saying, right?” Upon hearing this.

Qin shujian nodded with a grave expression and said, “”Many thanks for senior's explanation!”

He didn't know how powerful the experts who could set the rules were.

But at least …

He was also at the level of an ancient true immortal, and he was no ordinary true immortal.

According to the God slaying saber …

Without the restrictions of the rules, he would be at the eighth or ninth level of celestial realm, but because of the restrictions of the rules, his cultivation technique was not up to standard, so he could only be at the fifth level of celestial realm.

However, if he no longer paid attention to cultivation techniques and focused on pursuing the laws …

Then, when he reached the end of the rules of power …

He would be able to break free from the restraints of the laws and jump from the fifth-level of Deva realm to the realm of true immortal.

As a result.

Qin shujian finally understood everything.

if that's the case, then the rules set by the strong don't seem to have any disadvantages!

“Who said there are no disadvantages?”

The God slaying saber sneered. it's fine for cultivators below the Deva realm.

After all, their strength is closely related to their cultivation techniques. However, after reaching the Deva realm, cultivation techniques are no longer necessary. The true strength of cultivators lies in their comprehension of nomological laws.

In the end, the other party had painstakingly comprehended the laws, but because his cultivation technique could not keep up with his pace, he was forcefully restricted to his original spot.

You have to understand that the breakthrough of the realm depends on the length of one's lifespan.”

in other words, the lifespan of a cultivator at the first level of Deva realm is 5000 years, and a cultivator at the tenth level of Deva realm can live up to 7000 years. Where the lifespan comes from is bestowed by heaven and earth. Once you reach this realm, you'll be able to enjoy the corresponding lifespan.

From the first to the third level of the Deva realm, one's lifespan was 5000 years.

From the fourth to the sixth level of the Deva realm, one's lifespan would be 6000 years.

From the seventh-level to the tenth-level of the celestial realm, the lifespan was 7000 years.

“For example, you're currently at the fifth level of celestial being realm, but your lifespan is already 5900 years. Once you enter the mother stream of laws, your comprehension of the laws will skyrocket, directly reaching the tenth level of celestial being realm.

At this time, you should be at the tenth level of celestial realm, but because of the rules set by that powerhouse, you're only at the fifth level. Because your cultivation technique can't keep up, you can't break through.

What would you do if you were that cultivator?”

“I will kill him!”

Qin shujian gritted his teeth.

He understood.

He understood everything now.

The powerhouses who made this rule were either brainless or still brainless.

For some cultivators, the establishment of this rule was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

He should have been able to extend his lifespan by 1000 years and finally have the hope of breaking through to the immortal realm. However, because of the rules, he was forcibly suppressed to his original realm. A single step away was the difference between life and death.

that's why you don't have to be obsessed with your realm, ” the God slaying saber said. it's just a matter of high or low because you still have a long lifespan. There's no need to be so calculative.

In any case, as long as one's comprehension of the laws reached a certain level, even if one was a cultivator of that level, one would become a true immortal when one completely mastered the laws.

In fact, that expert had set the rules for the sake of all living beings. When a Deva broke through to the true immortal realm, his true body had to enter the long river of rules. If his physical body was not strong enough, he would not be able to withstand the scouring of the long river of rules and would eventually die.

Thus, he made the rules in the hopes that cultivators could advance at the same time, but he neglected the need for lifespan for some cultivators.”

He had good intentions.

He just didn't think it was perfect.

Qin shujian nodded silently. Even though he could understand this, it did not stop him from thinking that the powerful cultivator was an idiot. Fortunately, he wasn't the one who was nearing the end of his lifespan.

Otherwise …

Qin shujian felt that he would dig out all of the other party's ashes and throw them away.

At this time, he was no longer bothered by the problem of his realm.

In any case, it was a good thing to be stronger.

Qin shujian couldn't be bothered with what happened after that.

If he didn't guess wrong.

When he had enough life value points, he might not be able to increase his comprehension of the laws, but he would definitely be able to advance the GUI

Yuan ancestral code.

This was the calculation.

He didn't seem to have lost anything.

Instantly.

Qin shujian felt at ease.

However, he still asked, “”What's the name of that expert? did he leave any descendants behind?”

“I'm not sure,” I don't know how that expert died, “the God slaying saber said. after he died, all traces were wiped away. As for the children he left behind, I think they're all dead.

Such a person.

Not being beaten to death when alive.

After his death, his descendants would not have a good life.

if you're strong enough to set the rules, don't do anything rash, ” the God slaying saber said earnestly. you'll learn from your mistakes!

“I understand, ”

Qin shujian nodded.

He didn't have any intention of seeking death.

Why did he have to set the rules? he was just asking for trouble.

However …

What really caught his attention was the first sentence of the God slaying saber.

“Senior, did you just say that a Deva needs to enter the river of laws with their true body to break through to true immortal?”

“That's natural.'

to break through to true immortal, a Deva needs to transform their body into an immortal body, “the God slaying saber said faintly. it's necessary to enter the long river of laws to cleanse it. Moreover, it's extremely dangerous for a Deva to break through to true immortal.

This danger doesn't just come from the river of laws, but also from other cultivators.”

“Senior, please tell me!”

Qin shujian cupped his hands toward the stone blade. He had a sincere attitude of asking for guidance.

To understand how to break through to immortal.

To him now, it was also quite beneficial.

What if one day …

He had already reached this stage. After all, no one could be sure about this.

“I didn't want to talk too much to you so as not to affect your cultivation,” the God slaying saber said.”But from your current progress, becoming an immortal might not be too far away for you.

Since you've asked, I'll tell you everything.”

any cultivator who becomes an immortal will encounter their greatest obstacle. This obstacle is called blocking the path.

“Blocking the way?”

Qin shujian had a puzzled expression on his face.

He thought of the Phantoms he had encountered in the river of laws.

Qin shujian could vaguely feel it.

He already understood what it meant to block the road.

The God slaying saber said, ” you've entered the river of laws. You should have met many shadows. Those shadows are the creatures that have entered the river of laws in the past.

A long river of rules could only allow one person to become an immortal. However, there were many cultivators who truly walked the path of a rule without an owner.

If you become an immortal, you'll be cutting off the Dao path of other cultivators who follow this long river of laws.

so,

For anyone who became an immortal, when their physical body entered the river of laws, there would be cultivators who would come to block the way. At that time, the river of laws would open up a battlefield. If you could defeat all the cultivators who were blocking the way, you could ascend to the peak and become an immortal.

Otherwise, your breakthrough will be considered a failure.”

A person who could become an immortal.

After all, he was a Supreme expert in a law.

If one didn't have the strength to suppress those who blocked their way, how could they be qualified to control a rule?

so,

The biggest obstacle to becoming an immortal was not the comprehension of laws, nor was it whether one's physical body could withstand the scouring of laws when entering the river of laws.

The biggest obstacle to immortal Ascension.

Only those who stood in his way.

It would not be a big problem if he could suppress the people in his way, but if he could not, everything would be for naught. “Suppress everything, and you can become immortal!”

Qin shujian muttered.

He thought of the Phantoms he had encountered in the long river of laws. Most of them should have fallen, but at least some of them were alive.

The ancient Buddha Emperor was one such example.

in other words, if the ancient Buddha Emperor were to attain Dao, I would be the one to stop him. If I attain Dao, the ancient Buddha Emperor would be my obstacle! Qin shujian understood the crux of the matter and felt relieved.

Was the ancient Buddha Emperor very strong?

Very strong!

At the very least, he could fight with a renhuang. That kind of strength was already at the top.

However, no matter how strong the ancient Buddha Emperor was, he still lost to the human Emperor.

He would lose.

Then, they couldn't be considered as omnipotent experts.

Even though Qin shujian did not have the confidence to fight against the human Emperor right now, he was confident that he would be able to grow to that level as long as he was given time.

Very quickly.

He then thought of something else.”Then, if there are very few people who follow a rule, or if no one follows it, will there be less resistance?”

“That's natural.'

The God slaying saber said, “rules that no one follows are your own path. You can walk however you like. No one will stop you if you want to achieve Dao. In ancient times, immortal Ascension was the easiest because there were many rules that no one followed.

However, things were different now. There were far too many cultivators in the world, and many of the nomological paths had already been taken by people. Some of the nomological paths that no one had taken were all small nomological paths. Even if one were lucky enough to become an immortal, it would be difficult to have great achievements in the future.

However, to some people, it's good enough to become an immortal. As for whether they're strong or not after becoming an immortal, it's not that important. ”

Immortal Ascension.

He would have a lifespan of 129600 years.

This was the main point.

To many cultivators, living long was the most important thing. Cultivation was simply for the sake of living long enough.

As for combat strength.

It could also be abandoned to a certain extent.

“Are there many people who use the rules of strength?” Qin shujian asked.

“It's not too much, but it's not too little either. The rules of power are more common, but they're also more difficult to comprehend.

As for how many powerhouses there are, you should know better than me.

After all, you can enter the river of Laws of Power, but I can't.”

The God slaying saber said calmly.

Qin shujian nodded his head in agreement.

There were indeed many phantoms in the river of laws.

Qin shujian didn't ask any further questions after that.

Now that he had obtained enough information, he needed to digest it properly.

Furthermore, he had come out from the river of laws.

Some of his comprehension of the laws had not been completely turned into his own.

In such a situation.

Qin shujian needed some time to Polish his skills. “How long have I been in the river of laws?

“About a day.”

“One day,”

Qin shujian looked at the time. Tomorrow was the deadline he had to agree to su Zhan's request.

When he thought of this.

He did not waste any more time and immediately entered a state of cultivation.

On the other side.

Inside the ancient Buddha secret realm.

The ancient Buddha Emperor, who had been cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.

Instantly.

A terrifying fluctuation burst out from his eyes, and the mother stream of laws suddenly appeared in his sight.

The mother stream of laws appeared.

Countless nomological rivers flashed past the ancient Buddha Emperor's eyes.

In the end.

A long river of laws stopped in his eyes.

There seemed to be experts fighting there.

It was an image of the past.

another creature from the four continents has comprehended the rules of power, and it's not low either. It can actually touch the power imprint I left in the river of rules. Who is this person? ”

The ancient Buddha Emperor fell into deep thought.

He had a rough idea of the powerhouses who had comprehended the rules of power among the living beings of the four continents.

However, this expert who had suddenly appeared …

However, it made the ancient Buddha Emperor suspicious.

The aura was very unfamiliar.

At least, this was the first time he had encountered one in the long river of power rules.

Under such circumstances.

This might be the first time the other party had entered the river of laws, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem right. If it was the first time he had entered the river of laws, how could it have triggered his imprint?

A person who could do this.

In terms of comprehension of the laws, he was definitely not much worse than him.

“Could it be that … The other party is from the human race?”

For no reason, the ancient Buddha Emperor thought of the eastern continent and the human race.

Originally, the rules of the eastern continent were isolated from the other three major continents. If a human walked on the path of the rules of strength in the eastern continent, he might not have discovered it.

“If it's a human, who is it?”

to have comprehended the rules of power to such an extent, he must be at least at the eighth or ninth level of celestial realm!

there are only so many powerful beings in the human race. In the last battle, the human race's powerful beings didn't hide their own laws, and I didn't find any familiar auras. Could it be that the human race still has hidden powerful beings? '

The ancient Buddha Emperor had a few doubts.

This was no small matter.

The sudden appearance of another powerful being might be a huge obstacle to his immortal Ascension in the future.

However, he had to do something.

There was no clue at all. It would not be an easy thing to find out.

After a long time.

The ancient Buddha Emperor closed his eyes again..
