Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461: Different Methods

Wang Wei headed straight to the Blood Earth Forbidden Land to see the old beggar. After entering his cottage, he told him about Jian Wushuang's Trial and his discovery of Innate Laws.

Then, he asked him about his confusion.

The eyes of the old beggar turned golden as he seemed to be calculating something. All the knowledge in existence seemed to flash in his eyes.

"The answer to both your questions are essentially the same. Jian Wushuang's situation involved the concept of Law Resonance."

Wang Wei frowned as he remembered his father mentioned this term in passing when he was young, but he never explained it.

"There are three Paths for Swordsmen to follow regarding Laws," continued the old beggar. "The first one is only to comprehend Pure Sword Laws. The second is to combine Sword Laws with another Law, and finally, to understand Sword Laws and use Law Resonance.

"Pure Sword Laws cultivators are people like your father; they believe in the supremacy of the sword as the Ultimate Attack Dao. They are usually the more powerful swordsmen since they pursue the state of [One Sword Breaks Myriad Laws].

"They cultivate basic sword moves like cutting, slashing, or piercing to the Level of Laws and elevated them to the point of confronting even Supreme Laws.

"The second path are swordsmen like Jian Wushuang who cultivate another Law with their Sword. And this is the group of swordsmen that can become Outlaws.

"The last path are swordsmen who also cultivate Pure Sword Laws. However, their talent, dedication, or Sword Will is not enough to reach the level of the first path. So, they chose another method to make up for their attack power.

"They did not want to comprehend another Law, which would corrupt their Sword Heart and weaken them. So, they develop the method of Law Resonance. They can use their laws to resonate with others and borrow their power.

"In Jian Wushuang's case, he abandoned cultivating the Dao of Infinity and used Law Resonance instead. To be precise, he returned to the third path since he was previously on it before becoming an Outlaw."

After thinking about this information, Wang Wei understood this was a battle of philosophy or ideas. Swordsmen focused on the purity of their Sword Heart and Will.

A perfect example is his father.

He dedicated his life and heart to the sword to the point of refusing to temper his body not to affect his swordsmanship.

And Wang Wei knew some swordsmen more extreme than him; they refused to marry or have a family because of their love for the sword. Many of these extremists do not like his father because Wang Tian is so powerful despite not dedicating everything to the sword–just like them.

In Sword Dao, purity determined how powerful a swordsman was. Whether it is the second or third path, they are usually more powerful than the second one.

And the only exception to this fact is if the second path becomes an Outlaw. Cultivating Laws like Time, Destruction, second-path swordsmen can be on par with the first path, if not more powerful–especially if they are also talented with their Sword Laws.

"So, are you saying that If I change to the third path of Sword Dao, I could pass the trial?" wrote Wang Wei in the air.

"Possible. From your information, it is evident that Heavenly Dao allowed Outlaws to pass the trial as long as they weakened their Dao.

"If you did this, the power of Fate you would be able to use would diminish, and you would fit in this category. But I do not know whether this would apply to us Supreme Outlaws.

"In the end, this question is meaningless since you would never do this with your Dao Heart dedicated to achieving absolute freedom."

Wang Wei knew the old beggar was correct about him. He would only accept a way to thoroughly pass this trial and have total control of the Fate Dao. Of course, if it were up to him, he would like to slap Heavenly Dao and ask who gave it the right to test him.

Unfortunately, he could not do that.

"What about Innate Laws?" asked Wang Wei.

"Primordial Gods and Innate Demons can only use innate Laws. If humans or Acquired Lifes want to use them, they must rely on Innate Treasures, thus limiting them in some ways. So, this method could work."

Wang Wei understood that one method to "pass" the trial is to limit the power of the Law cultivated, whether through a technique like Law Resonance or foreign aid like Innate Treasures.

However, he did not want to use either of these methods. After this conversation, he had a new idea but wanted more information.

"So, what exactly is so unique about Innate Laws? Why is it that Innate Demon Gods do not have to become Outlaws?"

"Most Innate Demon Gods are restricted to the Laws they are born with. So, a Fire Primordial God could only cultivate Fire Innate Law."

'So, it's all about restrictions, huh? The entire purpose of this trial is to prove that a person is worthy of cultivating some powerful Laws. if not, cultivators either die, place some restrictions, or purposely weaken themselves.'

"As for what is unique about Innate Laws?" continued the old beggar. "I only know that no world can restrict innate Laws."

Wang Wei understood the meaning behind these words.

Every world in every World Communities has slightly different Laws. Cultivators must understand the Laws of Heaven and Heaven in the Void Shattering Realm.

However, the Laws they comprehend are the Laws of the Myriad Emperor World. So, if a Void Shattering Cultivator traveled in the Endless Void, they must take time to adapt to the Laws of other worlds.

This is why Wang Wei had to modify the Divine Runes when he tried to place an array on the sun in the Heavenly Profound Continent.

The issue of Law Adaptation is critical and also determines how great a cultivation system is. For Example, in the Origin System, this problem is dealt with in the Saint Realm.

Cultivators can forcibly change the Laws of Heaven and Earth with their Domain and do not need to adapt. And in the Supreme Realm, their Dharma Body is the physical embodiment of their Laws and does not need to adjust to using them.

Additionally, their laws have evolved into Dao at this stage.

In the Quasi-Emperor Realm, cultivators fused with their Dharma Body to create a Dao Body, and they have a Dao Fruit–which makes them the source of their Laws and not restricted by Heaven and Earth.

Other cultivation systems that use Domain, Void Caves, or Universes Inside the Body do not need to Adapt.

However, the Profound Energy System that cultivates the Laws in the realm similar to Quasi-Emperor would face such an issue.

A month later, he opened his eyes with a tired look. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}
