Death... and me

Chapter 2647  Seventh Grade

With that done, Vanos changed the topic. "Now, what did you find from the Loporrits?"

"Nothing much," Rean mentioned. "They seem to be bound by some kind of rule or whatever that prevents them from sharing information with us. As you noticed, forcing them to speak is an even worse idea. Anyway, I'll tell you what we managed to find out since it is a good thing for all of us."

Rean then explained about the deeper regions of the Wonderland. How the laws could make even the bodies transform, causing Vanos and his people to feel quite some fear. Fortunately, they didn't press forward, and they were even a little happy that they were captured instead. "Wonderland is indeed a fitting name... although I would rather call it a nightmare instead."

"I couldn't agree more," Rean thought the same.

Vanos then focused on the path ahead. "It was just like you mentioned; learning how to cultivate these Chaos Laws wasn't that hard. I can now even use them to help me merge my sublaws into the Major Law. It's just that there is too little here. Could it be the tower that Loporrit Mentioned is the source of all of it?"

Roan agreed with Vanos. "I thought the same thing. Once everyone learns how to cultivate these Chaos Laws, they will be able to feel the flow, and it is in the direction of the tower that Loporrit mentioned. It is safe to say that must of us will eventually converge there."

Vanos pondered about it. "I don't know about the others, but I didn't have much of an objective when I came here. I just wanted to break through into the Late Stage of the Divinity Realm." Without him noticing, he began to treat the twins, who were just at the Space-Time Initial Stage, like he would other Divinity Realm experts. "You shouldn't lose this chance and have your breakthrough, too."

However, that didn't mean he intended to travel with the twins. He noticed that the Loporrits had more interest in the twins than himself, and the last thing he wants is to see another Loporrit. "Well, we will find out sooner or later. This is where we part ways. If there is a chance in the future, I will repay this debt. Farewell." Vanos and his group quickly changed direction and left the twins' group after that.

"He seemed quite scared of staying close to us," Rean mentioned with a bitter smile. He definitely understood why.

Kentucky didn't seem to care. "It's fine. We are on the good side of the Loporrits. Now, we already know how to complete the system's quest, so let's go deeper and comprehend more of our laws."

It was then that Luan's voice echoed from within the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. 'Father, I have an idea.'

Everyone stopped and waited for Luan to continue. 'It's about the Seventh Grade of the Starlight Body Cultivation. According to Sister Orb, the Seventh Grade requires you to manipulate the laws and merge them into your bodies... This Wonderland is so different that you can even manipulate the Chaos Laws at the moment. Wouldn't that be possible for you and Uncle Rean to use the Chaos Laws to reach the Seventh Grade?'

Rean and Roan's expressions change. Indeed, the idea seemed very feasible. 'Sister Orb!'

[I know, I know. Let me check...]

Sister Orb went silent for a minute, reviewing the Yin Yang Starlight Body Cultivation technique and thinking about all the pros and cons. [Here's my sincere answer: I don't know.]

'That wasn't very helpful,' Rean complained.

[You see, the theory seems possible. However, Chaos Laws are, after all, a jumbled mount of all laws in existence. What you two need is to merge only Light and Dark Laws, not others. It is one thing to look for your laws within the Chaos Laws and use that for your comprehension. However, can you separate the Light and Dark Laws while still manipulating them?]

Rean couldn't help but ask. 'Chaos Laws still have both Light and Dark Laws inside. Can't we use Chaos Laws directly? We don't need to be concerned about Starlight Energy since we got several fragments that we haven't extracted the Starlight Energy from inside yet.'

In the past, the twins learned from Sister Orb that the Fragments do indeed have a lot of accumulated Starlight Energy, and they even used some of them. After that, they didn't need to do it again, so the energy was still there from the other fragments they acquired later.

[I would say it is very risky.] Sister Orb warned them, though. [The other laws are not something you can comprehend. Chances are that you will cause your bodies to suffer that effect Lotiri mentioned. Your bodies will change in weird ways. It will truly be a wonder of this wonderland. Naturally, it will be hard to even tell if you are dead or alive.]

[...but I can't guarantee that it won't work. That's something you could only find out if you tried.]

Roan nodded and was happy there was a change. At the very least, it seemed a lot more reliable than waiting for them to reach the Celestial Realm. Nonetheless, he discarded the idea for now. "Alright, we will put this theory aside for the moment. We just initiated these Chaos Laws cultivation, so it would be suicide to try it now. Let's first get the quest done and see if we can reach a level similar to the Loporrits before thinking about it again."

Of course, he didn't forget the owner of the idea. 'Well done, Luan. That was very clever of you to notice,' he said inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

Luan was just happy to be of some use. 'Thank you, Father.'

"Are you all done?" Celis had nothing to do with the Starlight Body cultivation, so he was losing his patience. "If you do, then let's get going. My breakthroughs are waiting!"

And so, everyone jumped on Kentucky's back and headed deeper into the Wonderland.
