Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chu Xiu calmed himself slightly, bowed, and greeted, ”Honorable Divine Envoy.”

Ashtar acknowledged with a hum, his crimson eyes fixed on Chu Xiu, curiously sizing him up.

Under the gaze of these eyes, Chu Xiu felt a chilling aura envelop him, as if all his secrets were laid bare.

He felt very uncomfortable, but did not dare to make any unnecessary moves.

After a moment, Ashtar withdrew his gaze and said, ”The God values you greatly and has sent me to extend an invitation to you.”

”An invitation?” Chu Xiu was startled, ”What kind of invitation?”

”There’s no need to rush speaking of that for now. You’ve come to see the God to inquire about some matters, have you not?” Ashtar said.

Chu Xiu nodded and cupped his fist, ”I wish to ask the God to tell me about the cultivation path to divinity after becoming a Heroic Spirit, and answer some doubts regarding the Abyss.”

Ashtar nodded, ”That’s simple.”

As he spoke, he lifted a finger, sending a beam of Spiritual Light into Chu Xiu’s mind, instantly filling it with vast amounts of information.

A few seconds later, Chu Xiu opened his eyes, a contemplative look in his gaze.

The Path to Divinity is complex, but its core is but one.

That is, mastering the Power of Law!

The Ascension Sequence relies on the laws of other gods, the fusion of Law Fragments is about using naturally born laws, and the independent path to godhood is about nurturing one’s own laws.

This also divides into three stages.

Namely, the Perception of Laws, the Mobilization of Laws, and finally the Fusion of Laws!

For independent ascension, there’s an additional step of Law Nurturing.

In any case, as long as one can fuse a complete law, one can become a God!

The power of the gods achieved through different laws varies, generally speaking, the more complex and grand the laws, the stronger the achieved god.

And if, after fusion, one continues to embody a given series of laws, becoming a Divinity of that law, with all similar laws across the heavens and worlds under one’s control, that’s the status of a [Supreme God]!

For instance, the Endless Blood Pool, which completely masters a branch under the Law of Life, the Law of Blood.

This blood does not only refer to the blood within the human body, but the medium transmitting Life Force within all living beings, falling under its control.

Even its essence has transformed into the form of a blood pool, which, being a representation of law, cannot even be contended by the authority of a [Divine King].

Of course, these matters are too distant for Chu Xiu.

In reality, even perceiving the basic sense of laws, let alone fusing or embodying them, is exceptionally difficult!

”Ordinary Heroic Spirits, without the aid of the Ascension Sequence, would hardly ever sense laws in their lifetime, only Demigods are considered to have stepped into the threshold of law perception.”

”And those Demigods who can wield domain-like divine authorities, barely able to mobilize the power of laws.”

”However, the ability to mobilize laws also varies greatly: like how the Plant Domain by the Green Lady and the domain of the Sun King have similar principles, but the difference in their power is vast due to the disparity in their controlled laws! Simply in terms of law control, the Green Lady may possess less than a tenth of the Sun King’s abilities!”

Chu Xiu guessed that the Celestial Kings had advanced far along the path of law mobilization, starting to fuse laws, like the Sun King, whose embodiment is almost the very symbol of the solar, with the power of law infused into her body.

Theoretically, she just needs to fully understand the laws within her to ascend!

However, what constitutes a complete law, nobody knows! Nor does anyone know how far the current Celestial Kings are from divinity!

What is known is that it is an exceedingly long and arduous road, even reaching the stage of law fusion is but the first step in a journey of ten thousand miles, the enormity of a complete law is unimaginable.

Yet, although its exact difficulty is unimaginable, it has given Chu Xiu a general understanding of the upgrade system ahead.

However, his doubts only increased!

Because this cultivation system...seems worlds apart from the cultivator’s system of cultivation!

Recently, to resolve his doubts, Chu Xiu has been delving into various legacies, gaining a general understanding of the cultivator’s system.

First is Chu Xiu’s next stage, the Core Formation Stage, which represents cultivators refining their Mana to its peak, forming their own Mana core, resulting in a leap in combat power.

From this description, it seems similar to advancing from King Tier to Heroic Spirit.

But then things get bizarre.

After the Golden Core, there are the Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation stages, which describe the process of nurturing a Nascent Soul from one’s Divine Soul, then refining the Nascent Soul to Primordial Spirit.

And what’s the purpose of cultivating the Primordial Spirit?

To perceive the Heavenly Dao!

That’s right, in the traditional Immortal Cultivation Realm, cultivators needed to reach the Divinity Transformation stage to begin mastering the power of laws! This also explains why Chu Xiu was so astounded previously by Meng Xuanshu, a mere General Tier, who could utilize laws.

After Divinity Transformation comes Returning to Void, Harmonization, Mahayana, and Crossing the Tribulation!

Returning to Void, seemingly referring to returning to the void, but in fact, this ’void’ is merely an abstract reference, in reality it signifies using the Primordial Spirit to interact with the Heavenly Dao.

And Harmonization means, after touching the Heavenly Dao, uniting one’s Primordial Spirit with the Heavenly Dao!

Afterwards, one’s Primordial Spirit returns to the physical body, using the Power of Law to reshape the body, filling both flesh and soul with the power of the Heavenly Dao’s laws, which is Mahayana!
