Chapter 647 Value of the Priceless Heavenly Treasure

Although the senior warrior was displeased with Vaan's brief passage, he was unwilling to waste time and effort turning it into a big deal. For him, every moment he spent on the Black Mountain was precious.

"You... okay," Makurim sighed before advising Vaan, "You should avoid passing through other people's steps, or you will end up offending a lot of martial brothers."

"Thank you for the advice," Vaan casually replied, shaking his head after a glance at the senior warrior.

Makurim had joined the Martial Hall thirty years ago. With his above-average martial talent, it wouldn't be surprising for him to be a Rank 4 Body Refiner.

Unfortunately, he had once overexerted himself on the Black Mountain and suffered a grievous internal injury that had never fully healed. As such, his strength has stagnated at Peak Rank 3 Body Refiner.

Normally, Body Refiners of this level could reach up to the 390th step on the Black Mountain.

However, due to the internal injury of the past, Makurim could only train around the hundredth step to avoid aggravating his old wound.

Although Vaan didn't know about Makurim's past, he could at least see the person could not train on higher steps due to his sequela.

...

In a matter of minutes, Vaan had already ascended to the 400th step, surprising all observers.

Although the height of the steps one could reach wasn't directly related to one's body-refining strength, it was still a good indicator.

As such, most warriors who could reach the 400th step were at least Low Rank 4 Body Refiners.

"Damn, that new guy already reached the 400th step in such a short time. His internal tempering is quite solid. Tsk, tsk."

"Only quite solid? You don't believe that young man is a Low Rank 4 Body Refiner yet?"

Even if the Black Mountain was only a tiny fragment of a dead star, it was still part of a living star once upon a time. The stars contained the secrets to the highest level of the Fire Law in the universe. Thus, a fragment of a dead star would still possess lingering traces of the highest level of Fire Law.

No matter how little it was, this level of Fire Law was far superior to the Fire Laws Vaan could perceive in the Red Dragon Tribe's Land of Fire.

How could earthly flames compare to heavenly fire?

Even though Vaan could conjure a miniature sun with his current law comprehension, its power was still that of earthly flames. In essence, it was just a big ball of fire – its temperature was a far cry from a true star.

'I wonder how much of the Fire Law I can perceive and comprehend now that the bottleneck on my law comprehension is breached...' Vaan silently mused with anticipation.

Although Vaan looked forward to his progress in the Fire Law, he had another equally important focus.

While it was true that stars contained secrets of the highest level of the Fire Law, a shattered star was different – it didn't just contain secrets to the highest level of the Fire Law but also the secrets to the highest level of the Spatial Law!

After all, there was a chance the fragmented star core came to Pangea as a result of a supernova explosion, and the supernova of stars had a chance of forming black holes.

Of course, the supernova of smaller stars wouldn't form black holes, but Vaan was confident the Black Mountain was the fragmented star core of an especially large star. Naturally, its impressively strong gravitational field was one factor, but the main deciding factor in Vaan's confidence was the presence of spatial law.

In fact, Vaan perceived the Spatial Law around the Black Mountain more clearly than the Fire Law, which also verified his doubts regarding his potential extreme spatial affinity.

Vaan wasn't sure if there was anything more powerful than stars and black holes in the boundless Chaos regarding the Fire Law and Spatial Law. However, it was certain that in the current chaosverse, stars and black holes embodied the highest level of the Fire Law and Spatial Law.

In other words, until he was powerful enough to perceive the laws from black holes and stars directly, the Black Mountain was the best lucky chance he could come across for perceiving the Fire Law and Spatial Law.

The value of the Black Mountain in terms of enlightenment on the Fire Law and Spatial Law far outstripped its use in tempering the body.

It was a priceless heavenly treasure, but the Great Ratholos Empire could only utilize it primitively.
