Guarding the River of Time

Chapter 45: Ancient Spacetime Power of Law A Single Perfect Draw!


"What the heck is this!"

Su Mu looked at the marble-sized bone-like object in his hand and spoke in confusion.

This thing looks like a fishbone, but... judging by his experience of killing fish for ten years at Grand Mart in his past life, he knew perfectly well what bones a fish has.

There was absolutely no bone in this shape.

At that moment, his teeth were beginning to ache slightly; the bite he took just now almost shattered his old teeth. In his frustration, Su Mu was ready to throw it into the river.

But the next second, he realized something was amiss.

Su Mu took a closer look and found that on this pitch-black bone, intricate runes seemed to be engraved, looking like written text.

After staring at it for a while, Su Mu looked surprised. It turned out the black color on this fish bone wasn't the bone's natural color but was formed by layers upon layers of intricate text!

The more he looked at these texts, the more familiar they felt.

Suddenly, he remembered something and took out a green leaf from his sleeve.

This green leaf was looted from a Cross River Man some time ago. After careful research, he found that this green leaf wasn't simple; it was a treasure.

Moreover, the key point was that this green leaf also had intricate text engraved on it.

He placed the fish bone and the green leaf together, comparing them closely. The more he compared, the more astonished he became!

Because the texts on the fish bone and the green leaf seemed to emanate from the same source. Although they were different, they were closely connected.

It was like a Cultivation Technique, with the fish bone as the first volume and the green leaf as the second volume.

However, after thoroughly examining it, it felt less like a Cultivation Technique and more like a rule!

A while ago, Su Mu also tried cultivating the text on the green leaf several times, but all attempts ended in failure.

Now that he had this fish bone, he felt like he understood a little, a connection from the past to the future.

...

Su Mu studied the texts while eating boiled fish.

Unknowingly, he finished the entire pot of fish.

The next second, he felt a powerful energy in his abdomen that was about to burst!

....

Su Mu hurriedly stopped his research and began running his Cultivation Technique to absorb the energy inside him.

However, Su Mu underestimated the energy contained in this Treasure Fish. Even running both the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppression Strength and the Cyan Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique simultaneously, he still felt it was very challenging.

Just as that energy was about to get out of control.

His second heart on the right side, along with his Supreme Bone and Golden Bone, began assisting, helping Su Mu to digest this enormous energy, finally managing to suppress the violent energy slowly.

It took a whole ten-plus hours to completely digest and absorb this energy. Thanks to the golden heart, Supreme Bone, and Golden Bone, the absorption rate reached an astonishing ninety percent, wasting only ten percent of the energy.

At this moment, Su Mu's aura began to surge!

The final Divine Treasure was instantly formed!

Now, he had cultivated the most perfect Divinity Transformation throughout ancient and modern times!

He was just one step away from the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

....

Su Mu exhaled a turbid breath, feeling incredibly clear-headed and transparent, sensing every inch of flesh and every cell in him had sublimated.

This Treasure Fish directly allowed him to develop the last Divine Treasure, highlighting just how extraordinary this Great Medicine-like Treasure Carp was.

However, such Treasure Fish were too rare.

....

After successfully cultivating the Divinity Transformation with Five Treasures, Su Mu resumed studying the texts on the fish bone and the green leaf.

Unknowingly, Su Mu entered a state of profound enlightenment, with everything around him becoming unusually quiet, as one text after another flowed through his mind.....

This was the dreamlike state of enlightenment sought by Cultivators....

In this state, Su Mu forgot the concept of time and remained sitting for seven whole days.

When he eventually opened his eyes, faint traces of Immortal Light with Dao Resonance appeared in his pupils.

He waved his hand towards the space in front of him, but nothing happened.

Seeing this, Su Mu was dumbfounded; was it really this weak?

For after seven days of enlightenment, he finally understood what techniques were recorded on the fish bone and green leaf.

No, it wasn't a technique; it was a kind of law known as the Power of Spatial Rules.

However, even after comprehending for so long, Su Mu only understood the basics.

When in doubt, add some points!

[Power of Spatial Rules: Level 0 (0/1000)]

Seeing this, Su Mu was stunned.

What the heck?

To upgrade from Level 0 to 1, it actually required a whole thousand Favor Points!

This is kind of outrageous.

He opened his attribute panel for Favor Points: [River Favor Points: 25360]

Lately, he hardly spent any, accumulating a total of twenty-five thousand Favor Points, but spending a thousand at once still hurt a bit.

It's the usual routine; let's increase the River Affinity first.

[Favor Points - 20000]

[River Affinity: 0.2%] → [River Affinity: 0.4%]

With the increase of 0.2%, Su Mu's connection to the river deepened a little more.

Because escaping this ghastly place required him to first refine the river, Favor Points couldn't be recklessly used for gambling.

With five thousand Favor Points remaining, let's use them to improve his strength a bit.

[Favor Points - 1000]

[Power of Spatial Rules: Level 0 (0/1000)] → [Power of Spatial Rules: Level 1 (0/10000)]

Upon spending one thousand Favor Points to upgrade 'Power of Spatial Rules' to Level 1, countless insights burst into Su Mu's mind. For a fleeting moment, he felt he could crush the space before him with a mere hand wave!

He focused his pupils and grabbed towards the void in front of him.

Far from crushing space, he couldn't even cause it to warp; nothing changed at all.

Seeing this, Su Mu was dumbfounded; was it really this weak??

He figured maybe the space here was particularly sturdy... he could only comfort himself like this.

To upgrade from Level 1 to Level 2 for the Power of Spatial Rules, it required a whopping ten thousand Favor Points, deterring Su Mu for now as it seemed unattainable in the short term.

Perhaps upgrade it later when more Favor Points are available.

4360 Favor Points remaining.

Su Mu opened his attribute panel:

[Host: Su Mu]

[Cultivation: Divinity Transformation with Five Treasures]

[Mastered Divine Techniques: Water Control (Level 2), Swimming (Level 2)]

[Mastered Techniques: Cyan Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique (Third Layer), Divine Elephant Prison-Suppression Strength (Third Layer)]

[Mastered Law: Power of Spatial Rules (Level 1)]

[Water Beast Tamer: Apychelodraco, World Stingray Beast, Stone Axe Beast]

[River Affinity: 0.4%)]

[River Favor Points: 4360]

....

Su Mu realized a blind spot; there was a new section named [Mastered Law] in his attribute panel, and the recently comprehended Power of Spatial Rules fell under Law, seemingly a level above techniques.

In that case, let's also upgrade the Cyan Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique and the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppression Strength.

[Favor Points - 1500]

[Divine Elephant Prison-Suppression Strength: Third Layer (0/1500)] → [Divine Elephant Prison-Suppression Strength: Fourth Layer (0/2000)]

[Favor Points - 500]

[Cyan Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique: Third Layer (0/500)] → [Cyan Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique: Fourth Layer (0/1000)]

With the upgrades of these two techniques, Su Mu's understanding of them ascended to a new tier.

After elevating the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppression Strength to the fourth layer, a million Divine Elephant Particles formed from the blood and flesh particles!

Adding the previous 111,500 Divine Elephant Particles, there were now a total of 1,111,500 Divine Elephant Particles!

After performing the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppression Strength, the Divine Elephant's shadow behind him grew several times stronger.

With the techniques' upgrades, Su Mu's Cultivation advanced correspondingly, approaching the Tribulation Crossing Realm infinitely.

.....

Since the Divine Techniques `Water Control` and `Swimming` required reaching a River Affinity of 1% to upgrade further, they would not be considered for now.

After upgrading everything that needed it, 2360 Favor Points remained.

The urge to gamble arose again!

Let's gamble once!

[Spend 1 Favor Point to make a normal draw...]

In the next moment, golden light flashed, and upon seeing the item in front of him, Su Mu's eyes widened.

Ah... Ah?

A jackpot with one hit?!
