Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven Chapter 535: Back to Nexus Domain, Law of Spirit Advanced Succession

[Most importantly, Lin Fang has reached the peak of the fifth rank. He is following the Martial Arts Path now.]

"That is good to hear," Grey responded. "As a system user, I would be more surprised if you actually did not possess such high stats."

"Hehe." Lin Fang chuckled. "I also got married recently, Brother Grey."

"What?" Grey was visibly taken aback.

"Yep. To my two wives, Eris and Yona. They are both demi-humans."

"You are one lucky fellow," Grey said with a sigh. "Good work," he added, giving him a thumbs up.

Lin Fang chuckled with embarrassment.

To the side, Alissa was listening to their conversation, confusion evident on her face.

"Well, for now, it is good that you are safe. If you were discovered, who knows? Perhaps the endless reality might have ended by now."

"It is fortunate that I made it out alive," Lin Fang patted his chest, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Alright. For now, I will furnish you with a spaceship, and Alan Benson will accompany you. Go find your wives and swiftly head towards my location."

"Your location?" Lin Fang tilted his head. "Do you own an estate, Brother Grey? Owning an estate in the cosmos is quite a significant matter."

Soon, Lin Fang departed with the others. Aerin, the Spirit Ancestor, and Alan accompanied him. Only Grey and Alissa remained in the isolated space.

"Why did you not go with them?" Grey inquired with a chuckle.

"I just wish to take more pictures for Miwa," Alissa replied, holding up her device.

Grey did not object to this. He intended to thoroughly explore this cloudy world anyway.

He and Alissa traversed the realm for a few rounds, soaring over shimmering lakes of liquid starlight and floating meadows of glowing blue grass, before stumbling upon a place with a potent willpower presence.

Grey executed a sharp turn as he entered the specific location. It was a tranquil bamboo forest. The towering stalks were a deep, luminescent jade, and a cool, fragrant breeze swept through, causing the dense bamboo to sway gently and chime like hollow wooden bells.

Upon witnessing this serene environment, Grey immediately sat cross-legged on the soft, moss-covered ground.

The concentration of law presence here was so intense that he had to capitalize on it.

"You should also attempt to comprehend it. The [Law of Spirit] is a beneficial law." Grey turned to Alissa, who responded with a firm nod.

They both sat down, commencing their profound comprehension.

[Your comprehension defies the heavens! By observing the willpower bamboo forest, your comprehension over the [Law of Spirit] increases by leaps and bounds.]

[Your comprehension defies the heavens! By observing the willpower bamboo forest, your comprehension over the [Law of Spirit] increases by leaps and bounds.]

[Your comprehension defies the heavens! By observing the willpower bamboo forest, your comprehension over the [Law of Spirit] increases by leaps and bounds.]

[Your comprehension defies the heavens! By observing the willpower bamboo forest, your comprehension over the [Law of Spirit] increases by leaps and bounds.]

Just then, the World Tree's voice resonated in his mind.

'Hey Perfect One, as a token of gratitude, I will assist you and that girl in reaching advanced succession. Simply cultivate here for a few days.'

In the following instant, the effectiveness of the law power surrounding them surged by nearly a thousand percent.

Grey immediately fell into a trance of deep comprehension after conveying his thanks to the tree.

[Your comprehension defies the heavens! By observing the willpower bamboo forest, your comprehension over the [Law of Spirit] increases by leaps and bounds.]

[Your comprehension defies the heavens! By observing the willpower bamboo forest, your comprehension over the [Law of Spirit] increases by leaps and bounds.]

[Your comprehension defies the heavens! By observing the willpower bamboo forest, your comprehension over the [Law of Spirit] increases by leaps and bounds.]

Soon, it reached Major Succession, yet Grey did not cease. He persisted in pushing forward, refraining from stopping until he broke through to the Advanced stage.

[Your comprehension defies the heavens! By observing the willpower bamboo forest, your comprehension over the [Law of Spirit] has reached Advanced Succession.]

[Your mind has conceived newfound abilities based on your law comprehension.]

[You have obtained the ability: [Phantom Matrix]]

[You have obtained the ability: [Spiritual Death]]

[You have obtained the ability: [Sovereign’s Denial]]

These newly acquired skills were quite remarkable. Using the [Phantom Matrix], he could directly assault a person's willpower. The illusion of a person perishing within a blazing star could be infused into their mind, causing a phantom star to materialize within their consciousness, where they would mentally expire. This technique's effectiveness, however, hinged greatly on the target's inherent fear. The stronger their apprehension of death, the more potent the matrix became.

[Spiritual Death] was straightforward in its application. He possessed the ability to generate a concentrated surge of power capable of shattering an individual's ego or willpower, provided their comprehension of the [Law of Spirit] was inferior to his own. It was highly improbable that many could match his current level of understanding.

The ability known as [Sovereign’s Denial] granted him the power to negate the physical existence of any concept or object. By his will, if he decreed something should cease to exist or be prevented from performing an action, it would simply vanish from reality. Naturally, this was distinct from his power of nothingness, which completely erased targets from existence without a trace.

From his understanding, the denial effect of Nothingness was confined within the boundaries of this particular universe. This was evidenced by the Spirit Ancestor's earlier use of a teacup, likely an item brought from the Helios organization.

Before long, Alissa also completed her trials. Astoundingly, she achieved Major Succession and gained the [Phantom Matrix] ability, in addition to the [Willpower Suppression] from her earlier minor comprehension.

Then, Grey's eyes snapped open, a slight frown gracing his features. He rose to his feet and moved deliberately, venturing deep into the heart of the bamboo forest. There, suspended gracefully in the pristine air, was a piece of jade. It emanated a warm, nine-colored luminescence that bathed the surrounding bamboo stalks in light.

'Accept this. It is a small token of my appreciation,' the World Tree's voice resonated once more. 'It will also facilitate our communication considerably.'

"Why are you being so exceedingly generous?" Grey inquired, his sigh carrying a blend of complex emotions and sincere gratitude.

This was the Nine-Colored Soul Nourishing Jade. It was the very same mystical artifact that had, in the past, rescued Xia Qingyue from the brink of death, even when confronting incredibly formidable adversaries. He resolved to delve deeper into its properties once he returned to his domain.

Soon after, they departed from the ethereal, cloud-shrouded realm. While traversing the Alliance territory on their return journey, they encountered the Spirit Ancestor once more.

"On a related note, Spirit Ancestor, what are your thoughts on why there appear to be no teacups native to this world?" Grey posed the question.

"That is precisely what perplexes me as well," the Spirit Ancestor responded, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "I've been contemplating the same enigma recently. It was only yesterday that this realization dawned upon me. I possess one due to my affiliation with Helios and my status as an Earth transmigrator, yet no one within this universe seems to possess any knowledge of what a teacup is."

"Therefore, I was contemplating the idea of popularizing it, perhaps," the Spirit Ancestor proposed, a shrewd gleam in his eyes. "Would you be interested in embarking on a business venture with me, Saint Grey? The potential profits could be substantial."

"No, thank you," Grey replied smoothly, declining the offer.

'I shall simply pursue this endeavor independently upon returning to my home planet,' Grey mused internally.

However, his theory had now been definitively confirmed. While the Spirit Ancestor physically held the object, it did not prevent his memories from being subtly manipulated regarding its general presence in reality. Thus, this served as irrefutable proof that his erasure technique was effective, even against a powerful cultivator of the eighth rank.

Having verified this crucial piece of information, Grey made preparations to head back to his domain. He had successfully accomplished the objectives of his visit: advancing his comprehension of the [Law of Spirit] and unraveling the enigmatic secrets of the World Tree. It was now time to return and concentrate on breaking through to the sixth rank, and, naturally, on forging his primordial spirit.
