Chapter 1086 End of the Path (2)
At this moment, Ace's hooded figure appeared in front of a path, narrowed to a single, precarious bridge. It arched across an endless chasm of pure, white lightning, the very embodiment of heavenly wrath.
The bridge itself was a shimmering construct of pure energy, its surface shifting and pulsating like a living organism.
Ace's heart raced wildly when he noticed something. Across the bridge lay a gateway that shimmered with vibrant colors and overflowing energy.
'Is that the end of the Primordial Ascension Path?' Ace thought as his eyes were affixed on the other side of this bridge. But he didn't dare take a step forward and looked towards the black flame, which seemed to have shrunk quite a lot.
"Sigh!" She inhaled deeply, "I didn't think just bringing you here would take up so much of my soul power. No worries, it was all worth it. My dear Steward, this is the Bridge of Ascension, also called the Bridge of Change.
"Once you step on it, the Primordial Ascension Path will mark it as you have passed all the trials, and the Baptism of Primordial Laws, which might be known as the ascension, will begin.
"It is also your reward. Once your baptism is completed, you will break free from your elemental state and ascend from the Mortal Sky Heaven. Your inner space will evolve into an inner world according to the cultivation technique you practiced.
"Your Elemental Body will turn into a Law Body governed by your innate law or Prime Law while the rest of your laws will turn into your supplementary laws or Supportive Laws to strengthen your inner world. The more law you have comprehended up to the Advanced Realm, the more powerful your law body will be.
"However, if your innate law or the law you awakened at the start of your journey from your cultivation technique is only subpar, then this is your chance to change it and turn a more powerful law into your Prime Law.
"But there is also a catch, which is, the more powerful and profound the law you make your Prime Law, the harder it will be to advance in the Law State. For example, if your innate element is Sword or basic elements, but you choose to make the Space or Time Laws your Prime Law, then you will not only have to find the corresponding cultivation technique but also learn those laws to satisfactory stages to break through further.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m
"Because without completing these requirements, your cultivation will never increase no matter which type of law you comprehend or how high your law comprehension is.
"Simply put, your Prime Law is directly connected to your future cultivation journey, so choose wisely. I will not interfere with your decision because you know yourself the best. All I have for you is this advice.
Ace was again shocked by this revelation as it was his first time hearing about it, and he started to understand just how knowledgeable this new 'master' of his was. It suddenly found it not too bad to have such an encyclopedia as a master.
"I understand." Ace nodded as he didn't comment on it further.
He knew better than anyone what kind of laws he had, and he also slightly understood the nature of Laws like the Sin and Evil Occult. They were probably the Mother Laws combined with other laws. Then what about the Darkness that was even above those two horrifying laws?
Suddenly, Ace felt deep anticipation about this and didn't want to waste more time. He flipped his hand, and a small crystal bead with black ethereal patterns appeared.
"Soul Resurrection Bead! You were not lying to me, and you also seemed to have a space-type innate ability that I can't see through; how interesting! Fufufu!" The voice instantly recognized the Soul Resurrection Bead and started to laugh like crazy.
The next moment, the Soul Resurrection Bead suddenly started to float from Ace's hand and flow towards the black flame. Ace didn't stop it since he didn't want any trouble with this eccentric voice.
After all, since she had kept part of their deal and even gave him this precious information, he would keep his promise. The thought of tricking her had long vanished from his head; it was simply not worth it.
Besides, the Soul Resurrection Bead was just rotting away in his thief's space, and he didn't even know how to use the darn thing or its true abilities. However, it was quite clear that it was an astonishing treasure since even this powerful existence was enticed by it.
The Soul Resurrection Bead suddenly shimmered when it touched the black flame releasing a powerful soul aura, and she exclaimed, "Fuck! It's even the real thing, not a replica! Just where did you get it, and how did it end up in such a barren place? It's not like I care since it ended up benefiting me.
"Alright, little Steward, I'm going to transfer the portal of my soul in it. You can start with the Bridge of Ascension. No need to worry about me." Done saying the black flame with the Soul Resurrection Bead vanished.
'Is she really gone?' Ace was astounded, and after confirming that there was no one there, he found it strange.
Nonetheless, Ace didn't care as he looked at the bridge with shining eyes, and he quickly took his first step towards the ascension!
