Chapter 638: Chapter 7: Level 1 and Rules

Several months later.

In the vast and boundless Sky World, the massive propellers of the “Yun Whale” emitted a low and continuous hum, like the steady heartbeat of a giant beast, breaking through layer upon layer of clouds of various shapes. Outside the window, the sea of clouds surged, sometimes coalescing into majestic cloud mountains, sometimes dispersing into fluffy cotton across the sky, transforming into magnificent sights under the eternally soft celestial light.

In the Flying Aircraft’s VIP cabin, the noise of the outside world was isolated, leaving only an almost stagnant tranquility.

Lynch sat cross-legged on a specially made meditation cushion, eyes slightly closed, breathing long and almost inaudible. He was not in a state of deep meditation but was guiding the vast “starfield” within his Spiritual Sea, operating a large amount of spiritual power in an extremely subtle and fundamental way that adhered to the world’s underlying rules.

Every cycle, gathering, and refining of spiritual power was like an invisible chisel, leaving subtle and indelible marks on the mysterious sigil representing the [Spiritual Laws]. This was not the accumulation of power, but an understanding, resonance, and control over the essence of the concept of “Spirit.”

[Spiritual Laws Skill Level +1]

[Spiritual Laws Skill Level +1]

The system’s cold and precise notifications echoed continuously in the depths of his consciousness, like the rhythmic swinging of a pendulum. Every “+1” represented a minute yet tremendously solid step toward the supreme Throne of Rules.

After an unknown amount of time, Lynch slowly closed the trajectory of his spiritual power.

The sigil of rules at the core of the starfield glowed dimly yet was more solid and profound than before, exuding a stable and powerful aura. He opened his eyes, and in his gray pupils, it seemed as if countless trajectories of stars flashed and vanished, ultimately returning to a deep, tranquil state.

With a slight mental command, a semi-transparent system panel unfolded in his consciousness:

[Spiritual Laws Level 1: 582/30000]

Looking at the data on the panel, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Lynch’s eyes. After this period of tireless cultivation day and night on the Flying Aircraft, combined with the accelerated assistance of the Time Hut, he had finally completed the leap from 0 to 1 in the Spiritual Laws, successfully advancing to Level 1!

Although this was just an insignificant step on the path of laws cultivation, the enhancement in power was immediate. Follow current novels on novel★fire.net

The total amount of his spiritual power was clearly displayed on the panel:

Spirit: 1,386,728.

The last time he checked, this value was still around 1.28 million. And at this moment, just upgrading from Level 0 to Level 1, his spiritual power had skyrocketed by over a hundred thousand! This huge increase was almost equivalent to his entire spiritual power growth from the initial entry of secret skill to the peak of secret skill!

“Above the Domain, every step of advancement is a qualitative leap,” Lynch mused in his heart.

The Wizard’s Road is just like this—each small step of progress at higher levels far exceeds the power of earlier stages. This 1.38 million spiritual strength, when fully released, is enough to easily cover several Witch Domains, with a mere thought capable of harnessing the power of heaven and earth, vastly different from the secret skill period.

And this,

was merely the beginning of the first level of the Spiritual Laws.

Closing the system panel, Lynch got up from the meditation area and walked toward a small laboratory sectioned within the cabin. This space had been expanded through Space Magic, appearing much more spacious than it looked from the outside, filled with various precision experimental instruments, energy sensing crystals, and potion racks.

He walked to the center of the laboratory, not touching the equipment, but instead raised his hand with a solemn expression. His fingertip traced a mysterious trajectory in the air, and a pitch-black Space Crack silently opened.

An indescribable aura instantly spread out from the crack. This aura was not simply powerful or evil but an extremely contradictory yet harmonious feeling—

As if the deepest Death and the most vigorous vitality were forcibly blended, forming a unique rhythm between “decay” and “germination,” bearing a weight that touched upon the fundamental rules of the world.

Lynch reached into the Space Crack, carefully retrieving an item.

It was a fist-sized, highly irregular object, resembling a heart composed of some living wood and dark red crystal. Its surface was covered with dark red patterns like veins, within which a faint green light, containing endless vitality, seemed to pulse extremely slowly.

This was the core stripped away after the downfall of Rotten Wood Elder Altonia—

The Heart of Resurrection!

Or, the Heart of Rot.

Just holding it in his palm, Lynch could feel a vast and profound power sleeping within. This power was of a level far beyond any Domain Power he currently mastered, truly touching upon the core essence of Wizard Power—Rule Power!

The cyclical rules of decay and resurrection!

On that day, after completing the Rotten Wood Trial, this rules relic left by the Rotten Wood Elder had fallen into Lynch’s hands.

Although Fran’s Rule Wizard Abbas had witnessed it all, he did not express any intention to contest or intercept this strange item, tacitly agreeing that this condensed embodiment of Altonia’s lifelong obsession and final remorse, containing the mysteries of decay/resurrection rules, belonged to Lynch.

Fran did not claim it, and naturally, Lynch would not give up such a tremendous opportunity, because it was equivalent to the power of rules!

“Rules!”

Holding the Heart of Rot in his hand, Lynch’s eyes grew increasingly brighter.

After all, it was at the fourth stage of the entire Wizard’s Road, just below the final Truth, representing the highest echelon, and was nearly every wizard’s lifelong pursuit.

Previously occupied with stabilizing the Decaying Domain and constructing the Time Domain, and due to the turbulence of the journey, Lynch had not had the opportunity to sit down and carefully study this rules artifact.

Now that the Spiritual Laws had successfully broken through to the first level, domain power had been thoroughly stabilized, and the long journey to Fran provided a relatively stable environment, it was time to delve deeply into the secrets of this Heart of Rot.

Lynch gently placed the Heart of Resurrection on a specially designed energy isolation base on the experiment table. His gray eyes focused intently on this strange heart, his fingertips gathering a very weak strand of spiritual power, cautiously probing the dark red patterns on its surface, attempting to decipher the internal rules structure and energy flow it contained.

Under the laboratory’s soft glow, the heart-shaped oddity quietly lay on the base, emanating a mysterious aura between decay and germination. Lynch’s gaze was profound and focused, as if trying to penetrate the wooden and crystalline exterior, to glimpse the ultimate mystery leading to the Realm of Rules within.

Outside the window, the Flying Aircraft continued to smoothly navigate the boundless sea of clouds, heading towards an unknown destination. Meanwhile, inside the cabin, an exploration concerning higher-tiered powers had just begun.
