Nuwa, the goddess of immortality, said that cultivating immortality does not require spiritual energ

The Celestial Realm, one of the most dangerous battlefields on the front lines.

Wearing her signature golden mask, Li Jiuyuan was using a mysterious array to suppress the group of chaotic beasts with violent auras and formidable strength within it.

The array patterns flowed, and the chains of Dao principles stretched across the sky, tightly trapping those chaotic ferocious creatures that kept charging forward.

Suddenly, she paused almost imperceptibly, and a clear look of surprise flashed in her eyes hidden behind the mask.

She turned her head instinctively, her gaze seemingly piercing through endless space, directed towards the mortal realm.

"I never expected..." she murmured to herself, her voice coming through the mask with an indescribable bitterness, "The debts we owed... were actually paid for by our descendants."

As one of the initiators of that bloody war that swept across the three realms and established the status of the human race, she knew better than anyone how much blood of other races had been spilled on the road to the rise of the human race, and what heavy burden of killings it bore.

In order to prevent this sin from affecting future generations, she did not hesitate to sacrifice her own spiritual path, bearing all the consequences alone and carrying the boundless sins of killing on her own shoulders.

Just now, she clearly felt that the heavy burden of murder, which gnawed at her like a leech and tormented her day and night, had lessened slightly.

After a quick calculation, she understood the reason—it was Qin Le who was rekindling the long-extinguished flames of those races, continuing the lineage of the extinct races.

He is sharing the burden.

He should share the sins and punishments left behind by these ancient ancestors, sins that he should not have had to bear.

This is the scenario that Li Jiuyuan least wants to see.

She chose to bear everything back then precisely to sever ties with cause and effect and protect her descendants so they could walk peacefully on their own. But now, some of her descendants have willingly stepped into this blood-soaked quagmire.

however……

For some reason, upon confirming that Qin Le was the one who did it, Li Jiuyuan felt a strange mix of bitterness and guilt, along with a subtle sense of warmth and relief that was hard to describe.

The mortal realm, the academy.

After having lunch at home, Qin Le replied to her friends' messages, informing them that she would be returning to school in the afternoon.

As he stepped into the academy gate, the three hundred demon students let out a low growl of suppressed excitement, but quickly quieted down, staring at him expectantly before returning to their places to seize the time to feel the Daoist aura naturally emanating from Qin Le.

They already knew that Qin Le had gone to the underworld—in order to appease these demon students who couldn't live without the humanoid enlightenment stone, the Jade Emperor had already conveyed the news through the academy.

Qin Le smiled, said nothing, and walked straight toward Chen Yun's weapon-refining workshop.

If we're talking about who's been looking for him the most urgently these past few days, it has to be Chen Yun.

The power of law that Qin Le had previously injected into the Ghost Craft Sphere had long been exhausted, and the research had come to a standstill, which made Chen Yun extremely anxious and distressed.

"Holy crap! You're finally back!"

Upon seeing Qin Le, Chen Yun's eyes lit up. He rushed forward and, without saying a word, shoved the intricately designed metal sphere into Qin Le's hand.

"Quickly! Hurry up! Replenish it completely!"

"It's only been two days, is there any need to rush?" Qin Le chuckled and, as instructed, infused two streams of pure law power into the Ghost Craft Sphere.

"You have no idea how painful it is to not have 'experimental materials'!" Chen Yun said with a look of utter despair.

"Why don't you look into how to 'store' this thing so you can study it long-term?"

Qin Le suddenly made a suggestion, and at the same time, his palms faced upwards, and light gathered.

A silvery-white seed with mysterious patterns flowing across its surface slowly emerged.

The moment it appeared, the surrounding space underwent a subtle, visible distortion, as if it could not withstand the immense power it contained.

"What...is this?" Chen Yun asked in surprise, staring at the seed.

He could sense that the power of the laws contained within was countless times purer, richer, and more powerful than that stored in the Ghost Craft Sphere!

Before Qin Le could speak, a palm-sized, flame-scented phantom appeared on Chen Yun's shoulder—it was Nezha.

"This is the 'Seed of Law'," Nezha said succinctly.

"The Seed of Law? What exactly is it?" Chen Yun pressed.

He, a weakling who hadn't even touched the edge of the rules, had absolutely no concept of this.

"Only those who have reached the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm and have thoroughly mastered a law are qualified to attempt to condense it. Very few succeed."

Nezha added, his gaze lingering on the Seed of Law for a moment, without much surprise.

Qin Le could produce this thing without any problem, in his eyes. He even suspected that Qin Le was probably capable of condensing a seed of immortality, but that thing was simply not something Chen Yun could study.

"I think I understand... but what's the use of it?" Chen Yun still looked confused.

The illusory Nezha rolled his eyes: "Idiot! With this thing, you won't need to 'recharge' with Qin Le every now and then! A Seed of Law, as long as the method is correct, can continuously and stably generate the power of law for your research!"

"Oh—!" Chen Yun exclaimed in realization, drawing out the words.

At this point, Qin Le smiled and used a more colloquial analogy: "You can also think of it as... an 'infinite energy pack,' and theoretically, it will never run out?"

"Now that you put it that way, I completely understand!" Chen Yun slapped his thigh, his eyes shining.

"So, how about giving it a try?" Qin Le shook the Seed of Law in his hand.

"I'd love to!" After his initial excitement, Chen Yun scratched his head, looking troubled. "But right now... I have absolutely no idea how to safely store this thing."

The Ghost Craft Sphere can store the power of laws, but the level and stability requirements of the Seed of Law are obviously higher.

"Why don't you just upgrade your 'power bank'?" Qin Le pointed to the Ghost Craft Ball in Chen Yun's hand and laughed.

Since this thing can store the power of laws, it means that the design concept is correct. As long as the materials and structure are fully upgraded, it should be feasible to carry the seed of laws.

"That makes sense! Come help me!"

Without any hesitation, Chen Yun grabbed Qin Le's arm and dragged him towards the worktable.

He's a master of imaginative and innovative ideas, but when it comes to optimizing and upgrading existing technologies, Qin Le's terrifying understanding and mastery of them makes him an absolute god-level assistant.

"Alright," Qin Le replied with a smile.

He also didn't want Chen Yun constantly chasing him for the power of laws, as this greatly affected the continuity of Chen Yun's research.

Moreover, he was also very curious about what kind of terrifying power the Truth Weapon he could create would have if Chen Yun could really use the Seed of Law as a more powerful energy core.

"Come, come, look at this. This is the original design principle and structural diagram of the Ghost Sphere..."

Chen Yun pressed Qin Le down into a chair in front of the worktable, then unfolded a very complex set of design drawings with a whoosh and began to explain them with great enthusiasm.

Qin Le and the phantom of Nezha on his shoulder listened quietly.

It must be said that this ingenious sphere, which can design a device to store the power of laws without comprehending them, is absolutely a work of genius.

Even if Qin Le or Nezha were to study it themselves, without any understanding of the relevant laws, they wouldn't dare say they could definitely reproduce it.

After listening to Chen Yun's explanation, Qin Le already had a general idea of ​​the direction for upgrading.

He glanced at the materials on the workbench used to make the Ghost Spheres and shook his head: "First, replace all the core materials. Take out the best materials you have on hand and let's take a look."

The current material strength is absolutely insufficient to withstand the long-term, stable existence of the Seed of Law.

"no problem!"

Without wasting any words, Chen Yun started taking things out of his storage ring.

Various rare metals shimmering with spiritual light, warm and smooth spiritual wood, and uniquely textured ores... soon piled up into a small mountain on the large workbench.

Thanks to Nezha's funding and the generous research resources distributed by the alliance every month, Chen Yun is now quite wealthy in terms of materials—at least for the time being, he has no shortage of materials needed for his current research level.

Giving him more advanced materials would be a waste, as he wouldn't need them now.
