Ye Yun had been contemplating the Sword Body Laws, consuming enough Law Fragments to perfect dozens of laws, yet the Sword Body Law always felt like it was separated by a thin membrane from achieving the Dao. Though the membrane grew thinner, it still blocked Ye Yun's Sword Body Law from reaching the Lesser Dao.
Thus, after the cooldown of his Golden Touch skill was reset, Ye Yun wanted to see if he could evolve the Sword of Kings.
Unfortunately, Golden Touch could only affect in-game matters. Things directly strengthening one's own power could have some impact on reality, but Ye Yun had already materialized the Sword of Kings and had been refining it in his Dantian for two to three years.
If he were to strengthen the in-game Sword of Kings, he would have to materialize it anew and replace the one in his Dantian before re-refining it. Only then could it further his understanding of the Sword Body Dao.
Considering this, it seemed like a loss.
Helpless, Ye Yun could only turn his attention to the Heavenly Dao Golden Body.
Heavenly Dao Golden Body (Special Consumable) -
Usage Effect: Talent +1, Comprehension permanent +30
Usage Restriction: Players with Talent max 10 can only use it once. Players above max 10 are ineffective.
Usable On: Player himself or player's subordinate with maximum loyalty.
Ye Yun was unsure about strengthening this item, as he was already two levels beyond its usage restriction. If strengthening it only lifted the restriction by one level, he'd have nowhere to cry.
Although he could give this item to his subordinates, Ye Yun was reluctant.
He knew how rare it was to reset the cooldown of Golden Touch.
Wait...
There was still one more thing he could try!
Ye Yun took out a Law Fragment from his inventory...
He had almost forgotten. The laws he had currently comprehended, and even the Lesser Sword Body Dao within reach, were almost all comprehended using Law Fragments. If he were to strengthen the Law Fragment, would the law aura within it become denser?
Ye Yun didn't know.
Both the Heavenly Dao Golden Body and the Law Fragment involved gambling. However, compared to the Heavenly Dao Golden Body, strengthening the Law Fragment had a much higher chance of a significant increase in his power.
"Strengthen Law Fragment!"
"System Prompt: Congratulations, player. You have used the talent skill 'Golden Touch' to successfully strengthen the Law Fragment. The Law Fragment has evolved into a Dao Fruit."
"System Prompt: Player used talent skill 'Golden Touch' successfully. Remaining cooldown for talent skill is two hundred thousand years."
What the heck...
Two hundred thousand, and years? What was this cooldown? This was outside the framework of the game's original settings!
Hearing the system prompt, Ye Yun's 'Emperor's Heart,' honed over years, almost shattered. Fortunately, another system prompt appeared, otherwise, Ye Yun would have truly wept.
"System Prompt: As the player's skill cooldown time has reached the game's maximum set value, the cooldown time for the player's skill 'Golden Touch' is fixed at two hundred thousand years."
From the wording, it was not difficult to understand that after this, the cooldown for 'Golden Touch' would always be two hundred thousand years. In this regard, Ye Yun had profited. After all, according to the original design of the cooldown framework, regardless of whether this time it was two hundred thousand years or not, after one or two more uses, the skill's usage time would far exceed two hundred thousand.
Ye Yun exhaled and then looked at the strengthened Law Fragment in his hand.
The Law Fragment was no longer as it was before; it had transformed into a crescent-shaped fruit, the size of a thumb.
...
Dao Fruit (Special Consumable) -
Upon use, players can evolve perfected laws comprehended in the real world into Lesser Daos.
Note: Players using this item must have comprehended perfected laws. This item requires the use of a 'Materialization Card'.
Holy crap!
I'm holding a handful of grass!
Ye Yun, who had been slightly displeased due to the cooldown time, was instantly shocked.
Whether it was the information found in the Heavenly Dao Academy or the feedback from Yue Xia, there was no precedent for achieving a Lesser Dao before ascending!
Even in the records of the Heavenly Dao Academy, the earliest person to comprehend a Lesser Dao did so ten years after ascending to the Outer Heaven. At that time, that powerful being was already a Level Three deity! Even so, it had alarmed the ruler of an supreme kingdom in the Outer Heaven, who personally came to the Second Heaven to welcome the genius into his gates and take him as a direct disciple.
And now, as long as he used this Dao Fruit, he could advance any one of his laws, allowing his law to enter the legendary realm of Lesser Dao, which was impossible to comprehend before becoming a Level Two deity!
This was simply against all heavenly principles!
But upon further thought, it seemed quite reasonable. After all, Law Fragments themselves dropped from the deities in the Outer Heaven, and the Outer Heaven was the ultimate map of the game world.
In this regard, Ye Yun could only say that he was fortunate to have Xiao Hei, and fortunate to have the formidable skill 'Golden Touch.' Otherwise, even if he obtained ten thousand Law Fragments, he would have wasted an unknown amount of time comprehending laws and absorbing Law Fragments.
Ye Yun withdrew his consciousness from the game, teleported from the seventh layer of the Nine Dragon Yang Void Palace directly to the ninth layer, and then returned to the game to use the Dao Fruit he had just obtained.
"System Prompt: Player is using Dao Fruit. Please confirm that the laws comprehended in the real world have reached the perfected realm."
"Confirm!"
"System Prompt: Player is using Dao Fruit. Please confirm that the player is in a safe environment in the real world."
"Confirm!"
"System Prompt: Please select the law to be strengthened: 1 - Space, 2 - Flame, 3 - Thick Earth, 4 - Sword Body."
"Select 1, Space Law!"
Since any perfected law could be directly promoted to a Lesser Dao, Ye Yun saw no reason to cling to the Sword Body Law.
...
"System Prompt: Congratulations, player! You have successfully used the Dao Fruit! Consumed 'Materialization Card' *1."
After a series of prompts, Ye Yun no longer cared about anything else and directly withdrew his consciousness from the game.
In the real world, a vast amount of energy was swirling around Ye Yun uncontrollably. With each rotation of this energy, his body was rapidly losing weight.
Damn it! The energy from the hundreds of top-grade辟谷丹 he had consumed earlier was all used up in less than a minute?
Ye Yun hurriedly took out hundreds of spirit-grade 辟谷丹 from his spatial ring and stuffed them into his mouth handful by handful!
One...
Two...
Even the spirit-grade 辟谷丹 was being rapidly consumed, at a speed that was astonishing. In just a few minutes, the energy from hundreds of spirit-grade 辟谷丹 was completely absorbed by his physical body!
You bastard...
Ye Yun no longer picked and chose, stuffing spirit-grade, top-grade, and even common-grade 辟谷丹 into his mouth by the handful.
Because he clearly felt that not only his physical body, but even his spiritual sea and Dantian were rapidly drawing energy from the 辟谷丹!
They were like hungry wolves, tearing apart the 辟谷丹 Ye Yun had just swallowed, and before the terrifying energy within the pills could erupt, they were like giant sponges, absorbing all the energy clean!
