280 SUCCESS

Three different lines of law runes emerged within the avatar’s body and began to coagulate according to its will. The formation specified by Li Meng and the Keeper was designed specifically to be formed out of three different kinds of energies, which made it quite complicated. The Keeper had to constantly guide him through the process.

There were many hurdles faced while creating the formation, and often enough it vanished directly after the link was established. The reason was because of the unstable control over it. The power extruded by the formation was extremely berserk and an additional layer of Qi was required to simply hold it together.

“Should we have the avatars supply more QI into him?” Li Meng couldn’t help but notice the energy deficit caused due to excessive use.

“The other avatars wouldn’t be of much help, as this is an intrinsic body law. You could only depend on yourself to complete the process. The formation set up around him should be able to satisfy his energy demand. What he actually lacks is the proper amount of control over it.”

After simultaneous trials, the formation finally stabilized within his body, and the breakthrough process could finally begin. Once he started to connect with the body laws, two sources of energies directly came into life. The previous connection made it easier for him to connect with them.

Two simultaneous forces entered the avatar’s body and he used a huge amount of QI to direct the two energies through the two inlets of the formation. Once the energies entered the cauldron, they began to mix slowly, and the berserk nature was being controlled with the help of the three law energies.

To their delight, the formation was actually capable enough of containing the two types of energies, and hence they could move to the next phase of the process. The next part was relatively easier. They just needed to wait for a harmonious set of runes to exit through the outlet and then establish the law base.

The formation was like a reactor that was continuously being feed with law energy. The only thing the group fail to account for is the fact that a reactor would ultimately give rise to a reaction that would lead to an indeterminate product.

They had theorized a harmonious set to come out of the exit but fate had a different thing in mind.

.....

...............

“How can this be possible?” Li Meng couldn’t help but gasp in shock when they visualize the interior of the avatar’s body. Theoretically, a set of two runes of different kinds should emerge out of the outlet. They assumed that the set would be harmonious with each other due to being in equal amount.

But the view in front shocked them. There was a single kind of rune exiting the outlet, and it was not of either category. It was a new kind of rune altogether. Li Meng tried to sense the runes and he was surprised on experiencing them.

“It feels like both of them at the same time.” The new rules were not characterized in gold like the Heaven runes or red like the Hell runes. They were a bit on the brown side and yet the feeling given out by them were that of either of them.

“It seems you have managed to fuse the two runes. I never expected the theorized cauldron would be able to fuse two opposite kind of law runes like this.” The Keeper words surprised the pill hall master. He didn’t expect his theory to birth such a contrasting result. He couldn’t help but be baffled by it.

“Are you sure that this is a hybrid rune?”

“Although I am sure that you can sense the aura, the best way to check these out is by infusing your Qis into it. We will know the truth once you do that.” The Keeper’s idea was feasible, but Long Tao had to put it on hold. The avatar was barely able to keep up with the incredibly taxing process. He couldn’t add another set of a burden on top.

“That is not a feasible option until now. We could just hope that this new type of rune is on similar lines of what we assume.”

“I only fear that they might turn out to be dead runes.” The Keeper’s voice was filled with some hesitation. The Pill-Hall master couldn’t help but alertly glance at him.

“What are dead runes?”

“Dead runes are sort of by-products which are always formed when a practitioner undergoes a breakthrough. These are runes that don’t belong to a category that the practitioner trains in, and hence are unable to be used by him. They could be visualized as a deadweight which comes along with Heaven’s blessing.”

“In your case, things are a bit different, as you will be using every kind of rune by the end of the whole break-through process. Theoretically, your body wouldn’t be possessing any kind of dead runes. But this hybridisation might bring out a varied set of results. That is something I fear deeply.”

“I guess we can only bid with me having a good bit of fate, and continue with the process. If it is a blessing, all is well. If it is a disaster, it couldn’t be avoided.”

The city-

The forces had already gathered within the vicinity of the independent cultivator’s alliance. All forces had sent a powerful representative to the meeting. It was the first time so many advanced QI King level practitioners were gathered in a single place.

The vice-leader of the independent cultivator’s alliance stepped in and spoke:

“Brothers, I thank every single one of you and the forces you represent to have replied to our request for an alliance. As every one of you had been made to realize, our ignorance towards the bandit groups has led to an increase in their confidence in carrying out crime in this area.”

“They have exploited the previously competent relationship which we had within ourselves, to garner their forces to an unprecedented level. The infighting has led them to believe that we couldn’t work together for the greater good. But it’s time to prove them wrong. It’s time to show them that we are united amo0ng ourselves.”

“We have tolerated their heinous actions of wiping out villages for a long time. All of us concentrated on sustaining our forces because we were too alone to take any action against those mongrels. But no more, since we all are here today to collectively gather and take revenge for our deceased brothers.”

“Each force within the city has lost a significant number of powerful cultivators. These were our brothers in arms and we must avenge their pitiful death. The mutilation on their face signifies immense torture before their respective death. Those bastards were not only sneaky but even threw away their morals while trying to provoke us. It’s time to answer them.”

“A debt of blood should be paid by blood.” Every single cultivator felt their blood rushing at full speed. A loud cheer reverberated throughout the hall. The whole city was aware that something major was about to take place.

.................

A hidden room within the independent cultivator alliance-

“I have carried out your orders milord. The forces within the city have agreed to provide us with enough manpower to completely anni9hilate every single bandit group within the eastern region. It will be the first step to conquering the whole Taiwan mountain.”

“I would like to congratulate milord on the upcoming success of your venture.” The vice-master was trying to curry favour with the hood.

‘Bootlicking me wouldn’t result in an additional reward for you. I would also suggest you tone down the huge expectations you carry around your brain. The eastern region is not as simple to capture as you expect. I fear even the complete force would find it extremely difficult to dominate the entire eastern region.”

“I have to remind you that multiple hegemonic forces are residing within the southern, northern and the middle areas of Taiwan mountain. They naturally lookout for any new competitors in this area. These forces aim to increase their influence too. Cause too big a commotion and your group would be taken advantage of by the forces in dark.”

“You just need to concentrate on gaining a proper foothold within the eastern region. I am sure about the guy being within the eastern region.”

The black hood was obviously talking about Sima Yu.

................

Long Tao had no idea that a huge force was on its way to the bandit base, wanting to eliminate them. He was immersed within the current breakthrough process. After a long period of ardent cultivation, the Law runes were finally coagulated to form a Law base within his body.

“Success.” Long Tao couldn’t help but jump out in joy.

The Heaven Blessings soon descended and Long Tao was expectant to see the improvement in cultivation provided by the blessing. To his dismay, an incredible scene took place within the body of the avatar. Heaven’s blessing was not absorbed by the Law runes.
