Chapter 293: Chapter 239: Three Great Catastrophes Chapter 293: Chapter 239: Three Great Catastrophes “Indeed, the Law!”
Su Yuan looked at the Slime in front of him.
There was indeed a Law here, but he didn’t know specifically what the Devouring Law was for.
However, he did understand one point.
The reason this Slime didn’t emit any aura was because it had devoured its own aura and Star Power Fluctuation on its surface.
As for more information, this Slime had just barely reached Star Apprentice Second Stage.
It hadn’t even completed the first evolution to condense the Star Core, so further study was needed.
“So, there is a Law, right?” Fang Qingxiao asked.
Su Yuan nodded, “Yes, it’s the Devouring Law.”
“I thought so…” Fang Qingxiao’s expression slightly focused as he looked at the Slime.
“To find, cultivate, and ultimately comprehend the Devouring Law, one of the Ultimate Laws from the Water Law, is quite impressive…
But as far as I know, at least in recent ancient times, there hasn’t been a Demon Emperor mastering the Devouring Law.
I wonder if this is because of my limited knowledge, or if it existed in an even more ancient era…”
Seeing Fang Qingxiao in deep thought, Su Yuan didn’t interrupt.
After a while, Fang Qingxiao collected his thoughts and put away the Destiny Plate.
“I’ll take this Stone Plate back.
I should be able to discover more.”
Su Yuan agreed, “No problem, take it as you please, Senior.”
Nodding, Fang Qingxiao looked at Su Yuan with appreciation.
“Su Yuan, you did exceptionally well this time.
This matter had nothing to do with you, but thanks to you academy elites, we might have otherwise faced significant trouble from the revival of an ancient Demon Emperor, especially now…”
Especially now?
Su Yuan’s heart stirred slightly, catching something but not probing further.
National affairs were not something he, a small fry, could participate in.
Even though he had reached Gold Level, he was still insignificant until he entered the Sun, Moon, and Stars domain…
perhaps not even a small fry.
What he needed to focus on now was improving his own strength.
Su Yuan respectfully said, “In a critical situation, as an academy student, it’s my duty to do my part.
Besides, the Hou Special Envoy also promised rich rewards.”
First, Su Yuan expressed his attitude, then subtly mentioned the rewards.
Although he had broken through to Gold, he deserved his due rewards for his efforts.
This important figure was better to ask directly than asking Hou Wu!
Though it was a polite word, it served its purpose.
Fang Qingxiao understood Su Yuan’s meaning, chuckled, and said, “Meritorious service deserves rewards.
ƝᴑνǤ0.сο
Our Sky Patrol Department always rewards and punishes clearly.”
Fang Qingxiao then asked, “From what you said earlier, you should be a Space Star Card Master, right?”
“Yes.”
“A Space Star Card Master…
there used to be some, but currently in Great Flame, there might only be you.
Born walking the path of the Ultimate Laws, you must be envied by many.”
Another mention of “Ultimate Laws.” Su Yuan remembered the “Devouring” Fang Qingxiao had mentioned earlier, which was also an “Ultimate Law.”
“Senior, what is the ‘Ultimate Law’ you mentioned?”
Fang Qingxiao thought for a moment before smiling.
“Since the matter is resolved, I’ll explain a bit to you.”
Fang Qingxiao seemed in a good mood, slowly explaining to Su Yuan.
“There are ten basic and common Laws in the world, namely: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Ice, Light, and Dark.
We call these the Basic Ten Constants.
Based on the Basic Ten Constants, numerous other Laws can be derived, encompassing most other Laws.
Besides these derived from the Basic Ten Constants, there are many other Laws…
The universe is vast, all paths lead to the same destination.
Any Law can lead to the Emperor Level, but there are also hierarchies among the Laws.
We generally divide all Laws into three types: Basic, High Level, and Ultimate.
Basic Laws include the ten basic Elemental Laws: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Ice, Light, and Dark, or those evolved from these ten such as Shadow, Blood, Ray, Burning, etc., comprising the majority.
High Level Laws are the stronger ones among them, like Fast and Slow, Penetration, Cutting, Blast, etc.
Beyond the Basic and High Level Laws are ten Laws with incredible power, the Ultimate Laws, including Time, Space, Chaos, Destiny, Devour, etc.”
This was the first time Su Yuan had heard about the Laws, and he was very curious.
Fang Qingxiao said, “Some people are born walking the path of High Level or even Ultimate Laws, while others need some stepping stones to access and cultivate these Laws.”
He gestured toward the Slime on Su Yuan’s shoulder.
“For example, since it reincarnated into a Slime, it was most likely a Water Element Star Beast in its previous life.
A Water Element Star Beast, disciplined in cultivation, might follow the Water Law, and if talented and fortunate enough, might comprehend higher-level Laws such as Fast and Slow, Absorption, Duplication, etc.
But to comprehend and successfully cultivate the Devouring Law from the Water Law…
that’s almost unheard of.
Compared to the Water Law, the Black Hole Ability in the Dark Element is much easier to comprehend the Devouring Law.
Hence, you can imagine how extraordinarily talented your reincarnated Slime was in its previous life; that’s why I said it deserves you.”
Listening, Su Yuan reassessed the seemingly goofy Slime he had just contracted with.
Was it really that powerful?
Fang Qingxiao added, “While the strength of the Laws doesn’t necessarily determine the strength at the King and Emperor Levels, Ultimate Laws are undeniably much more formidable than Basic Laws.”
Su Yuan nodded, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior.
I’ve learned a lot.”
Fang Qingxiao waved his hand, “Back to the point, Space…
I obtained something quite decent when I returned from the South…”
After a moment of contemplation, a flick of Fang Qingxiao’s ring produced a Purple Qi-shrouded Star Card, which he then flicked towards Su Yuan.
Su Yuan quickly caught it.
Fang Qingxiao said, “I originally intended to place it in the Sky Patrol Department’s Star Storage Hall, but since you achieved such great merits and being a Space Element adept who just broke through to Gold Level, it seems destined to be yours…”
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan infused his spiritual power into the card:
[All-Knowing Vision]
[Grade: Epic]
[Element: Space]
[Introduction: Four spatial regions act as eyes, providing 360-degree unobstructed vision.
With continuous cultivation, enables Far-Sight, X-ray abilities, and even the power to see the opponent’s Star Power Flow.]
Su Yuan’s heart skipped a beat!
A Space Epic Purple Card, and it was a Pupil Skill!
Su Yuan’s hands trembled slightly as he held the card.
Fang Qingxiao smiled and asked, “How do you like it?”
Taking a deep breath, Su Yuan replied, “Thank you, Senior, I am very pleased!”
A Space Epic Purple Card was precisely what he needed!
And a rare Pupil Skill at that—such a treasure was nearly impossible to barter for with Star Stones!
A 360-degree vision that enabled Full View, coupled with advanced X-ray and Far-Sight abilities…
it completely revolutionized combat perception!
As a Soul Skill, it couldn’t be more fitting.
Su Yuan’s emotions surged.
This was more thrilling than breaking through to Gold Level.
Gold Level could eventually be achieved, but missing out on such a suitable Soul Card would be regrettable.
Rong Fangsheng, nearby, gazed enviously at the purple Star Card in Su Yuan’s hand.
Though unaware of its specifics, knowing it was a Space Purple Card and personally given by the Vermilion Bird Throne made it unlikely to be ordinary.
Su Yuan took one last look at the purple Star Card and suppressed his urge to scrutinize it further, storing it away in his ring.
After a few more questions, Fang Qingxiao seemed to have gathered enough information.
Su Yuan said, “If there are no further questions, Senior, I will not take up any more of your time.”
Fang Qingxiao chuckled, “I think you are eager to embed your new Soul Skill.
You talk well for such a young person.” After a moment of thought, he said, “That should be all.
Go on, but remember not to divulge the matter of the Demon Emperor to anyone.”
Su Yuan nodded, “I understand, Senior.
Rest assured.”
Bowing to the two men, Su Yuan respectfully withdrew.
Watching Su Yuan’s figure gradually disappear from view, Fang Qingxiao mused aloud, “This young man is interesting; I imagine we’ll meet again soon.”
After contemplating for a while, Rong Fangsheng spoke, “Throne, there is something I still don’t understand.”
Fang Qingxiao, examining the Destiny Plate, casually replied, “About the Slime?”
Rong Fangsheng respectfully answered, “Yes, Throne, the Slime that reincarnated as a Demon Emperor, giving it to a student so casually, isn’t it…
a bit inappropriate?”
Fang Qingxiao calmly said, “Nineteen years old, Gold Level, Space Element, easily handling two Gold Level human-shaped Star Beasts.
Disciplined, decisive, yet fair.
He’s quite outstanding among the younger generation.
The reincarnated Demon Emperor has immense talent and potential, but it’s still just a Star Beast Alien Race.
For us, the geniuses of Great Flame are more important.”
Fang Qingxiao looked up into the distance, his eyes shimmering with light, and his expression grew serious.
“Yin and Yang cycle, the world changes.
Within a hundred years, there will be three great calamities.
One tribulation should be in the North, and there have been signs.
The second…
this revival of the Demon Emperor is likely just an omen.”
“As for the third…” Fang Qingxiao gazed directly upward, “I have no clues now.”
Rong Fangsheng remained silent.
As an Imperial Envoy of Sky Patrol, he was aware of the Three Great Calamities.
Earth’s Tribulation, Beast Tribulation, and Heavenly Tribulation!
Each successive tribulation was heavier.
A slight mistake could completely overthrow the long-standing Great Flame.
Fang Qingxiao slowly said, “Regardless of the tribulation, it requires ‘people’ to overcome.
Our Great Flame Sky Patrol Department has an unshakable duty.
Aside from us, during these calamities, some rare talents are bound to emerge.
Focusing on the Earth’s Tribulation, we are now on par with the ‘North.’ At the time, victory might depend on the new talents emerging on both sides.
Therefore, geniuses are more crucial for us…
understand?”
Rong Fangsheng solemnly said, “Understood!
Thank you for clarifying, Throne.
It was my oversight.”
Fang Qingxiao nodded, “This concludes the matter.
Stay and handle the aftermath.”
Rong Fangsheng bowed, “As you command!”
Fang Qingxiao took a step, appearing at the sky’s edge in a single stride.
Two more steps, and he vanished from Rong Fangsheng’s sight…
