A month later.
In the Purple Bamboo Forest, Qin Chuan’s body was surrounded by spiritual energy. The energy swirled like a whirlpool, and the Primordial Purple Air continuously flowed into his body.
After a month of hard work and exchanging points for upgrading items, he finally made a breakthrough.
Every major realm breakthrough required the process of Heavenly Tribulation.
Cultivation was a process where the Heavenly Tribulation grew stronger as one progressed.
After all, cultivation was an act of defying the heavens, and a god wouldn’t want their underlings to surpass them in power. No leader would want to be overcome. Those in power would always try to stay in power.
The destructive power of the Soul Splitting Heavenly Tribulation was extremely terrifying. I Qin Chuan’s world, a single bolt of lightning was enough to destroy an entire country.
Luckily, Qin Chuan had the system.
Otherwise, a Heavenly Tribulation would destroy the world.
At this moment, in the cave abode of the system, Qin Chuan’s clone was undergoing the Soul Splitting Heavenly Tribulation.
In order for his clone to successfully transcend the Heavenly Tribulation, Qin Chuan had exchanged points for many tribulation tools.
As the bolts of lightning descended, the Soul Splitting Heavenly Tribulation came to an end.
The last bolt of lightning from the Soul Splitting Heavenly Tribulation transformed into a giant lightning beast.
It opened its bloody mouth, and there was a ball of purple lightning in its mouth. The deafening sound of thunder shattered the surrounding space as if it was destroying the world.
As he faced the lightning beast, Qin Chuan’s expression was calm. He had long prepared himself.
He placed a [Advanced Lightning Tribulation Shield] on his clone.
A [Lightning Tribulation Shield] was especially used to resist Heavenly Tribulations.
An advanced [Lightning Tribulation Shield] required one million points.
In order to successfully transcend the Soul Splitting Heavenly Tribulation, Qin Chuan had really gone all out.
Although he had the confidence to resist this Heavenly Tribulation, he would more or less suffer some injuries.
Given the current situation, if Qin Chuan were to get injured, the impact would be too great.
Qin Chuan was also very cautious. As long as he could use his points to solve the problem, he wouldn’t take the risk.
Soon, the lightning beast charged down with the world-destroying lightning.
The tiny clone was like a grain of sand in front of such a massive lightning beast.
Boom!
When the lightning beast was about to collide with the clone, the [Advanced Lightning Tribulation Shield] took effect, and a huge palm appeared out of thin air.
The palm shone with golden light. It was as if a five-fingered giant moved toward the lightning beast.
The two forces quickly collided, causing a loud explosion.
The energy storm produced by the collision was like a billion galloping wild horses. It was majestic and earth-shattering.
Fortunately, he was within the system. If he were outside, the force would be enough to destroy half of the world.
Time slowly passed, and the violent power gradually dissipated.
At this moment, the Nascent Soul within Qin Chuan’s dantian emitted a resplendent golden light.
After about two hours, the golden light dissipated, and the Nascent Soul was no longer a youth but a grown man who looked like Qin Chuan.
At the same time, Qin Chuan’s Niwan Palace[1] was enshrouded with a dense aura. His three souls and seven life forces were like planets revolving around the sun—they revolved around a golden ball of light.
The golden ball of light was Qin Chuan’s Primordial Spirit—the essence of a person’s life. As long as it was not destroyed, life would not perish.
If the body died, one could use the primordial spirit to carry out possession. This was equivalent to revival.
At that time, Masefield had dissociated into many primordial spirits. Qin Chuan had to destroy all of his primordial spirits to kill him completely.
Thus, once a primordial spirit was cultivated, it would be extremely difficult to completely kill it.
After Qin Chuan successfully broke through, he carefully inspected his body.
After confirming that there were no problems, he heaved a long sigh of relief.
He stood up and stretched, taking a short rest before quickly sitting down again.
Although his current realm had reached the Soul Splitting stage, it still wasn’t enough to handle the Beast Taming Corps.
Qin Chuan circulated his cultivation technique to consolidate his cultivation.
This consolidation took ten days.
There were only twenty days left until the arrival of the Beast Taming Corps.
To Qin Chuan, time was of the essence. Every minute and second was extremely precious.
Qin Chuan took out a black stone. It was the sacred object of the Lome tribe, the [Stone of Nomological Laws].
This [Stone of Nomological Laws] was a Postnatal one, but it’s nomological law fluctuations were extremely strong.
[Postnatal Stones of Nomological Laws] were formed after the death of someone who had an extremely profound grasp of the laws.
Qin Chuan speculated that the stone came from a very powerful being from the Lome Tribe.
The intense nomological law fluctuation felt like he was in the depths of an ocean. The pressure was intense.
The moment he felt the intense magical power fluctuations, Qin Chuan knew which law it was.
He speculated that it was the [Law of Gravity].
As the saying went, there was no strong or weak Dao, and it varied from person to person.
However, Qin Chuan had heard of this saying before:
Time and space were supreme.
Without fate, karma would reign.
Strength prevails, and destruction is invincible.
According to what Qin Chuan knew, the [Law of Gravity] was considered to be one of the high-level laws.
Cultivation, at the very end, could affect space and time.
Einstein’s theory of relativity mentioned that gravity could distort time and space.
Qin Chuan felt that if he were to master the [Law of Gravity], his chances of winning against the Beast Taming Corps would greatly increase.
However, he only had about 20 days left.
Under normal circumstances, 20 days wasn’t enough to even grasp the laws, so comprehending them was nearly impossible.
Even with the [Stone of Nomological Laws], it was extremely difficult.
Moreover, the higher level a law was, the harder it was to comprehend.
Qin Chuan could guarantee that he would be able to comprehend the [Law of Gravity] within 20 days. However, he didn’t have full confidence in grasping it.
He had no choice. Time was tight.
If he had a year or half to prepare, he would still be confident.
But now, everything depended on fate.
Qin Chuan said helplessly, “If I don’t grasp it, then I can only use that old lady’s [Law of Silence].”
Looking at the [Stone of Nomological Laws] in front of him, Qin Chuan prepared to start studying it.
Before doing so, he called Huang Huang to his side.
Ever since the Bamboo Spirit transformed into a cocoon, Huang Huang had been keeping guard by its side.
It had sat still despite its playful nature, so they were quite close.
Speaking of which, it had been a few years since Bamboo Spirit had transformed into a cocoon.
Until now, there were still no signs of it breaking out. Who knew how long it would take.
Actually, this was very normal.
For a spirit of heaven and earth like the Bamboo Spirit, the breaking out of a cocoon would take a long time. It could take five years to ten years, or even a hundred years.
The Bamboo Spirit was born in this purple bamboo forest, so its level should be higher than spirits.
This way, it would take longer for the cocoon to break.
Qin Chuan thought about how he still had ten [Immortal Beast Eggs] in his hands and decided to hatch all of them one day.
The Bamboo Spirit could not play with Huang Huang, so Huang Huang seemed quite bored and lonely.
Qin Chuan was afraid that it would be depressed, so Qin Chuan decided to use the [Immortal Beast Eggs] as company for Huang Huang.
When Huang Huang arrived, Qin Chuan said, “I will be entering seclusion for 20 days.
“If I still haven’t come out after 20 days, you must wake me up, no matter what you do.
“During this period, you can’t go anywhere. Just stay by my side and protect me.
“After the mission is completed, I will arrange for a few friends to play with you.”
Qin Chuan spoke very seriously, and Huang Huang was very obedient.
It was even happier when it heard that it would make new friends. It was filled with anticipation.
Qin Chuan had arranged for Huang Huang to stand guard by his side to prevent him from getting too invested in his study of the [Stone of Nomological Laws], which would cause him to miss the arrival of the Beast Taming Corps.
This was a very terrifying thing.
Now that he had nothing to worry about, he began to study the [Stone of Nomological Laws].
At the same time, far away in outer space, the Beast Taming Corps that was flying over at top speed discovered the planet Qin Chuan was on.
