I Arrived At Wizard World While Cultivating Immortality Chapter 793: Raising and Mastering the Law of Time

After leaving the Great Dao Book Pavilion, Jie Ming immediately threw his energy into cultivating the Void Ash Return to Origin Hand.

In the quiet chamber, the array turned slowly.

From the energy storage crystals scattered around it, threads of the spiritual qi of heaven and earth were drawn in continuously, filtered and refined by his inner world, and finally turned into pure spiritual power that circulated round and round through his meridians.

Jie Ming’s eyes were half closed, but his consciousness had long since sunk into his spiritual sea.

Countless golden threads of law crossed and interwove there like a vast net covering all of heaven and earth.

And Jie Ming quickly found the golden thread he wanted.

It was the Law of Time.

The essence of the Void Ash Return to Origin Hand was to use the Great Dao of Time as a medium and forcibly turn back a target’s “state” of existence within heaven and earth. To do that required an extremely deep understanding of the Great Dao of Time.

In this the wizard world held a natural advantage.

For an ordinary Dao Integration cultivator of the cultivation world, the mere threshold of comprehending the Great Dao of Time was enough to stop over ninety percent of them. Because the cultivation world had nothing so convenient as a plane origin.

In the cultivation world, heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can directly raise one’s comprehension of the Dao are extraordinarily rare, most have no fixed channel of acquisition, and every one of them is precious to an outrageous degree.

What was more, a great many such treasures were also ingredients for high-level elixirs, and nobody would be willing to consume the raw material directly. So in the cultivation world, which Great Dao a cultivator took as his main path depended chiefly on his own comprehension.

But the wizard civilization had no such trouble.

Even without being able to integrate the knowledge, so long as a wizard was willing to spend military merits, a plane origin would get him through the door of any Dao he needed. And besides, in his early years Jie Ming had consumed plane origin relating to the law of the water element in order to research the Black Giants.

And the law of the water element was itself a higher law above the Law of Time.

Add to that the peculiar state of the Dao Integration Realm itself, and Jie Ming’s mastery of the Law of Time was quite respectable.

In his spiritual sea, the golden thread representing the Law of Time extended continuously, its thickness very nearly twice that of the four elemental law threads beside it.

Calculated by the wizard civilization’s method for reckoning law mastery, Jie Ming’s mastery of the Law of Time had long since passed one hundred percent and was approaching two hundred.

On any newly advanced sixth-level wizard, that would already have qualified as a primary law.

And yet, when Jie Ming genuinely began cultivating the Void Ash Return to Origin Hand, he soon frowned.

The difficulty of the technique did not run far beyond his level of understanding. It was not something he grasped at a glance, but after comprehending it only a short while he already understood its main operating logic.

Which meant his command of the Law of Time ought to have met the standard for cultivating it.

But in practice, although Jie Ming really could circulate spiritual power as the Void Ash Return to Origin Hand required, he could not successfully release it. While circulating that spiritual power, Jie Ming followed the incantation in the jade slip to guide the Law of Time into resonance.

But every time the technique was about to take shape, the fluctuation of time he had gathered would abruptly scatter.

Gray law converged, and dispersed again, over and over.

He tried several times in a row, and not once did it succeed.

Jie Ming slowly opened his eyes, thoughtful.

“The technique can take shape, which means the problem is not my deduction and not my control of spiritual power. It is that my grasp of the Law of Time is still insufficient.”

Jie Ming quickly realized the reason.

The Void Ash Return to Origin Hand was, after all, a Dao Integration technique.

A God Transformation cultivator has not yet genuinely touched the Great Dao, so his techniques depend more on the circulation of spiritual power.

But Dao Integration is different.

Dao Integration is by its nature the process of a cultivator continually fusing with the Great Dao.

Every Dao Integration technique is, in essence, an application of the rules of the Great Dao.

Its demands on comprehension of the Dao are higher than a God Transformation technique’s by who knows how many times.

Two hundred percent mastery of the Law of Time seemed far from low, but set before the Void Ash Return to Origin Hand it still looked rather threadbare. Those Dao Integration cultivators who had created such techniques had, after all, been steeped in this realm for who knew how many tens of thousands of years.

At that thought, Jie Ming actually smiled. “That problem is easy enough to solve. It is just a matter of paying to win.”

As said before, in the wizard civilization, so long as one has enough resources, law mastery has never been a problem!

Taking out his magic network terminal and opening the Star Ring Federation resource trading platform, Jie Ming placed an order in one go for a great quantity of plane origin relating to the Law of Time. As a popular law among wizards, the Law of Time ran nearly twenty percent above the price of ordinary laws.

But for Jie Ming, whose Blood Sacrifice Method was currently hoovering up money at a mad rate, a price difference like that was beneath his notice.

A few hours later, the first batch of plane origin was delivered to the laboratory through the teleportation array.

Opening the heavy metal case before him and looking at the neat rows of sealed crystal test tubes inside, and the brilliant plane origin within them, Jie Ming did not hesitate at all and began refining immediately.

He pulled the seals off every tube offhandedly, and torrents of silver-white origin merged endlessly into his body.

In his spiritual sea, the golden thread representing the Great Dao of Time began growing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

In the space of a few days, on the strength of a great quantity of plane origin, Jie Ming raised his mastery of the Law of Time another hundred percentage points.

But that was not the end.

As the Law of Time grew steadily more complete, it began intersecting with the several laws Jie Ming already held.

Space, water, life, soul, fate… and even the Abyss.

The essence of law is knowledge, and knowledge can form connections with other knowledge.

A breakthrough in one law produced a chain resonance in the others.

Through all of this, the talent the body forging method had evolved by way of the Entropy Brain also began genuinely showing how terrifying it was.

The scattered knowledge brought in by the plane origin Jie Ming had been consuming was automatically reorganized by the Entropy Brain, and knowledge that had been entirely unrelated rapidly formed connections under its deduction.

Then that ordered, organized knowledge combined in turn with the knowledge he already held, deducing new knowledge from it.

Vast quantities of information began turning at once like countless gears.

One understanding brought another.

One breakthrough triggered more breakthroughs.

At the same time, the near-instinctive perception of the rules of heaven and earth that comes with entering the Dao Integration state took part in this deduction without pause. Jie Ming did not even have to comprehend deliberately. A great many law mysteries that had been obscure and impenetrable now surfaced in his mind of their own accord.

This was Dao Integration.

The Great Dao lies between heaven and earth.

And a cultivator does no more than listen continually to the voice of the Dao.

A year later.

Jie Ming opened his eyes again, and in his spiritual sea the golden thread of the Law of Time had changed beyond recognition.

Its length and thickness far surpassed every other law thread.

Reckoned by the wizard civilization’s standard, his mastery of the Law of Time had now shot all the way past seven hundred percent, making it the law he commanded most deeply.

“At last…”

Jie Ming slowly raised his right hand, understanding flickering in his eyes.

He needed no complex incantation. He merely reached lightly forward and grasped.

Hmmm…

A pale gray light spread slowly out of his palm.

On the experiment bench, a piece of Essence Gold with an unusual shape suddenly trembled.

The next moment, it had reverted to the form it had held before its shape was ever changed.

And beside it, the mass of Essence Gold already refined into liquid regathered bit by bit, returning to the intact block of metal it had originally been.

Jie Ming watched all of it in silence, and a trace of a smile finally appeared on his face.

“At last… through the door.”
