Chapter 1469: Chapter 343: Inside Agent

After grasping how powerful the Absolute Heart Seal was, Shen Changqing already had a plan.

Next time he had the chance, he would plant it on Taishan and Heavenly Mechanism Taoist as well, adding an extra layer of insurance to prevent any accidents.

This wasn’t a matter of trust or distrust.

It was that anyone, without exception, carried the possibility of betrayal.

The Human Clan now could not withstand any betrayal, so absolutely no mishaps were allowed.

"Besides—"

"If any other Human Clan members leave Heaven and Earth, they must also be branded with the Absolute Heart Seal. Only then can things be absolutely foolproof!"

Shen Changqing pondered in secret.

This kind of method was truly an excellent means of secrecy.

The thought only turned slightly, and he cut it off.

Now was not the time to think that far ahead; he should first complete the cultivation of the Absolute Heart Seal.

If he could finish cultivating the Absolute Heart Seal, it wouldn’t just be one Ziyun Luo—he could find a way to leave a seal on cultivators of other Clans as well. By then, among the Heavens Myriad Clans, there would be a whole group of so?called "his own people."

At that time, matters of the Human Clan’s actions would become much simpler and easier.

With that thought.

Shen Changqing drew in his Heart, fully focusing on comprehending the Absolute Heart Seal.

In front of him.

Ziyun Luo could only wait in bitter silence.

To this Divine Peak Master, every quarter-hour spent here was an indescribable ordeal.

The dense Power of Law that permeated around the Cave Heaven, in his eyes, was like one invisible mountain after another, pressing down so hard he almost couldn’t breathe.

It was hard to imagine.

Just what kind of powerhouse could comprehend so many Laws.

With just one glance, Ziyun Luo could see hundreds of different Laws.

At this, the shock in his heart grew ever more intense.

One had to understand.

Laws were always hard to comprehend, and if one tried to comprehend too many, it became extremely difficult to cultivate any single Law to its limit and then ascend to the level of Rule.

After all, a single Law was relatively pure, while many Laws together would appear mixed and messy.

Of course.

If there truly was a cultivator who could comprehend many Laws at the same time, and cultivate all of them to a profound level, then his combat power within the same Realm would be terrifying beyond measure.

It was just that comprehending many Laws was itself extraordinarily difficult.

With every additional Law, the difficulty of comprehension would, on its original basis, directly rise by a full step.

According to Ziyun Luo’s knowledge, within the Heavens, there were actually not many Divine Kings who could comprehend several Laws, and likewise, those powerhouses who could comprehend two Rules and prove the Path as Rule Divine Kings were even fewer.

As for Divine Kings of three Rules, they had only ever appeared in rumors.

And a powerhouse who had comprehended over a hundred Laws had simply never been heard of.

No!

Not just over a hundred!

The Power of Law filling this place was likely already over two hundred kinds.

The more Ziyun Luo looked, the more frightened he became.

As an ancient powerhouse of the Human Clan, there was no way he did not understand that the more Laws one had, the harder it was to comprehend Rules—yet the other party still chose to do so, which meant he had absolute confidence in handling this problem.

Moreover.

He could also indirectly grasp just how overwhelmingly strong the other party’s strength was.

The power he had shown earlier under the guise of Ziyan Sheng’s identity was definitely not his full strength.

Setting everything else aside for the moment.

Just this boundless, star?sea?like Power of Law—if it all erupted at once, it could probably blast a powerhouse of the Fourth Realm of God King to death on the spot.

Not to mention a Fourth Realm of God King who had already comprehended the Power of Rule.

Even though Rules stood above Laws, they also had limits.

When the number of Laws reached a certain level, shattering Rules was no problem at all.

Right now.

The sheer number of Laws within the Cave Heaven let Ziyun Luo see a terrifying power sufficient to crush Rules.

Thus.

He no longer dared to move in the slightest.

If that dreadful Power of Law descended, his Divine Soul would be utterly annihilated in an instant.

After a long time.

Shen Changqing’s Heart withdrew from the state of comprehending the Absolute Heart Seal.

Just as Qingyi had said, comprehending the Absolute Heart Seal was not difficult.

With his current Realm, understanding such a Dharma was a matter of ease.

In less than a day, he had fully mastered the Absolute Heart Seal.

Then.

Shen Changqing looked to the Ziyun Luo before him: "Next, I will plant the Absolute Heart Seal in you. I need you to completely open your Heart. If there is the slightest resistance in your Heart, the Absolute Heart Seal will fail.

And once the Absolute Heart Seal fails, that will be the day you die."

He was about to施展 the second type of Absolute Heart Seal on Ziyun Luo, which involved the consumption of his own Origin.

If Ziyun Luo feigned surrender while secretly staying vigilant, then that strand of Origin power would be completely wasted.

In that case.

He could only kill the other party, seize Origin Points to comprehend the Power of Law, and thereby restore his own Origin.

"Rest assured, sir, this old man will definitely open his Heart completely!"

On hearing this, Ziyun Luo hurriedly replied.

Right now he didn’t dare harbor any stray thoughts; the blade was already at his neck—if it truly came down, it would be a dead end.

Seeing this.

Shen Changqing nodded, then followed the method of the Absolute Heart Seal, directly using the Origin Pool Water in the ten-foot pond as the guide, and condensed a seal in midair.

As the seal finished condensing, he could clearly feel that among the various Laws he had comprehended, one Law silently dispersed, as if it had never existed at all.

A Law dissipated!

This was the price that had to be paid to condense the Absolute Heart Seal.

One Law disappearing was an extremely terrifying loss for anyone else.

But for Shen Changqing, the loss of one Law didn’t have much of an impact.

Although his strength would decline a bit, the decline was negligible, still within acceptable bounds.

However.

In this kind of situation, the Absolute Heart Seal was obviously something that could not be used frequently.

The reason was very simple.

Every time the Absolute Heart Seal was activated, it would consume one Law’s power. If he really condensed several hundred seals, then all the Laws he had comprehended would be completely dispersed.

At that time, leaving aside whether his strength plummeted or not, who knew in what year or month he could ever hope to comprehend the Three Thousand Laws and then condense the Cave Heaven Core.

So.

The Absolute Heart Seal could not be used frequently; it could only be used when necessary.

Only then could it be used to its fullest value.

"Go!"

Once the seal had fully condensed, Shen Changqing moved his mind and directly sent the seal into Ziyun Luo’s body.

Right now Ziyun Luo’s body inside the Cave Heaven was in fact the manifestation of his Divine Soul.

Driving the seal into it was essentially fusing it into his Divine Soul power.

The instant the seal’s power touched him, Ziyun Luo could clearly feel a gentle strength merging into his Divine Soul power, not only did he not feel the slightest discomfort, he even felt somewhat at ease.

The entire process was like flowing water, without any ripple.

When the seal had completely merged into his Divine Soul, a light cluster directly condensed before Shen Changqing. When he grasped the light cluster, he could sense the connection between himself and Ziyun Luo; even some of the other party’s inner thoughts could not escape his perception.

Instinctively.

His mind stirred slightly.

"Ah!"

Ziyun Luo suddenly let out a miserable scream, his entire body collapsing to the ground, curling up, his face deathly pale and ugly, as if he was enduring some unbearable agony.

"My lord... Supreme, Supreme spare me!"

He had no choice but to beg for mercy.

Seeing this.

Only then did Shen Changqing withdraw that strand of intent.

At once.

The feeling of intense pain vanished, Ziyun Luo lay weakly on the ground, terror still lingering in his eyes.

That single instant had felt to him like ten million years. That kind of torment was carved deep into the soul; after experiencing it once, he never wanted to try it a second time.

"Not bad!"

"Truly not bad!"

Shen Changqing was very satisfied with the effect of the Absolute Heart Seal.

Hearing about it was one thing; only when you used it yourself could you truly understand the effect of such a spell.

With this spell, he no longer had to worry about Ziyun Luo betraying him. Even if the other party wanted to betray him, he could sense it at the first moment, and then annihilate the other’s Divine Soul.

The seal’s power was carved deep into the Divine Soul.

In this situation.

Once the seal’s power was activated, even the Divine Kingdom would directly collapse.

Then the characteristic that "if the Divine Kingdom does not perish, the Divine King does not die" would naturally no longer exist.

"Alright, you can go now. If anything comes up later, I will naturally come find you." Shen Changqing looked at Ziyun Luo, who was still lying on the ground, and spoke blandly.

Hearing this.

Ziyun Luo felt as if pardoned from death, and fled along the passage out of the Cave Heaven.

In the secret chamber.

Strange mist surged out from Shen Changqing’s body, then receded like the tide. In less than a single breath, the secret chamber returned to normal.

After a while.

His tightly closed eyes opened, and Shen Changqing’s Heart returned to his body.

"Of the forty Origin Points, twenty-four remain. As for the number of Laws, it has gone from the previous two hundred and seven to the current two hundred and twenty-two. That is to say, sixteen Origin Points were consumed, and fifteen Laws were added."

He nodded inwardly.

Normally, sixteen Origin Points should have added sixteen Laws.

Because all the Laws he had improved came from the Ziyun Clan’s First Grade Divine Skills.

The reason one Law was missing was mainly because a Law’s Origin was consumed when he condensed the Absolute Heart Seal.

Otherwise.

The current number of Laws should be two hundred and twenty-three, not two hundred and twenty-two.

Thinking of Ziyun Luo, in whom he had planted the Absolute Heart Seal, a cold smile appeared on Shen Changqing’s face: "With this Divine Peak Master acting as an internal agent to assist me, my actions in the Ziyun Clan will be much more convenient.

Even if I leave the Ziyun Clan later, I still won’t lose my grip over them."

This was a good thing.

In fact.

If he could plant the Absolute Heart Seal in the Python Emperor, that would be best, but as the Emperor of a clan, the other party would not necessarily be willing to submit.

If any problem really arose, it might expose him.

Shen Changqing naturally did not fear a single Ziyun Clan, but the Ziyun Clan had the Divine Clan behind it. If he drew the attention of the Divine Clan and that caused his identity to be exposed, the scene from the Chaos Forbidden Zone might very well repeat.

At that time.

Just thinking about how troublesome it would be was enough.
