The Artifact Spirit could hardly believe the scene before its eyes. A re Human Immortal cultivator was able to perfect so many Laws.
And just when it thought that was the end, Li Zhirui would perfect yet another brand new Law in the next instant!
"This should be about enough, right?" Li Zhirui said to himself as he looked at the hundred different colored Spirit Lights dancing in the projected Minor Thousand World in front of him.
He was not a Heavenly Immortal, and didn’t know how many Laws they could perfect, but he thought it would not be more than him.
After all, comprehending Laws isn’t about having more; too much complexity is actually a burden.
So after adding a dozen more Laws, Li Zhirui decisively stopped.
"Huh?"
The Artifact Spirit, which was intently watching his actions, couldn’t help but say upon seeing this scene, "Have you reached your limit, or are you planning to hide your true ability?"
If it’s the latter, that would be even more astonishing!
It made the Artifact Spirit even more curious about this person - still in the Human Immortal realm and had already grasped over a hundred, perhaps even more Laws, probably there wasn’t a second being like him in the entire Primal Spirit Realm.
In that case, this person was the most suitable predestined person for him.
The Artifact Spirit hesitated for a mont, but finally appeared before Li Zhirui.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist." Li Zhirui was not surprised because this was sothing he had long anticipated, and he greeted calmly.
Indeed!
This seemingly formidable Artifact Spirit, in reality, his cultivation was rely at the late-stage Human Immortal.
As previously ntioned, the path of cultivation for the Artifact Spirit lies in ’learning’ various Laws, which simply ans comprehending a vast amount of different Laws.
Throughout countless eons, with the relic in a state of blockade, he could only comprehend the Laws on his own to enhance his realm, thus the progress was very slow.
However, he could mobilize the power of the entire relic, so within his territory, even a Heavenly Immortal could not resist.
"It seems that you are the predestined person I’ve been waiting for."
The Artifact Spirit personally appeared, and upon facing Li Zhirui, a surge of warmth welled up in his heart as he spoke thoughtfully.
"So fellow Daoist is the ’treasure’ that previously stirred my intuition concerning my path of cultivation." Coincidentally, Li Zhirui felt the sa and expressed it with a smile.
"Follow to sign the contract first, and we can discuss the rest slowly afterward." With these words, the Artifact Spirit took the lead and walked in front.
Li Zhirui followed with confidence, not afraid it was a trap at all.
"This is my true form."
After a short while, the Artifact Spirit arrived at a jade dishware about a foot wide, carved with nurous Dao patterns on both sides, although it was apparent it was not yet perfected.
"This is a Daoist contract. If you have no objections, you may leave your Spiritual Soul imprint."
The Daoist contract, the highest level of contract, without any ans of bypassing or breaking it, unless one’s entire being and form dissipate, leaving only a core Spirit Light to reincarnate, can it be undone!
Furthermore, breaching the contract ans the omnipresent Great Tao will directly erase your entire existence, regardless of your cultivation or rit, leaving only death.
After checking the contract, Li Zhirui found it contained no harsh terms, resembling more a pact of alliance, with the two parties being entirely equal.
Once confirming there were no issues with the contract, he decisively left his Spiritual Soul imprint.
The Daoist contract instantly transford into two strands of Spirit Light, embedding deeply into the Spiritual Souls of both parties.
"Aren’t you worried that I’ll tamper with it?"
Li Zhirui let out a light laugh and said, "If you could tamper with the Daoist contract, how co you were trapped in the relic for countless years?"
A fleeting look of discomfort appeared on the Artifact Spirit’s face, as the words were indeed a bit harsh.
"Since we have already signed the contract, the maze trial and relic can now be closed."
"Your control over the relic is that strong?"
"Of course, the relic itself is a unique formation-type Magic Artifact, and the core of the Formation is in my possession."
Li Zhirui was visibly shocked, understanding that this relic spanned over a hundred thousand miles, and just the act of activating such an enormous Magic Artifact would undoubtedly consu vast amounts of mana.
"By the way, the relic used to be the Mountain Gate of a large faction. How did you end up in control?"
"It’s a long story."
The Artifact Spirit slowly said, "You must be curious why there are no signs of battle within the relic, yet so many Spiritual Objects remain, right?"
These two conditions are enough to prove that the original force of the relic wasn’t breached or migrated away but rather vanished mysteriously.
Li Zhirui nodded, having thought about this question before, but unable to co up with an explanation.
"Because the original masters of this place, the Three Daoist Sect, ascended as an entire faction, leaving the Primal Spirit Realm with a thousand cultivators simultaneously!"
"Was it because the Primal Spirit Realm was still a Middle Thousand World back then?"
The Artifact Spirit looked at him with an expression akin to gazing at a fool, "Are the Immortal Realm Spiritual Objects in your hands false?"
Indeed, how could he ask such a foolish question...
But factional ascension, a term only found in stories, had actually occurred in the Primal Spirit Realm?!
Even with Li Zhirui’s cultivated nature, he couldn’t help but feel shaken, montarily unsure what to say.
"Wait!"
Coming to his senses, Li Zhirui quickly asked, "The Three Daoist Sect you ntioned, such a massive super top-tier force, had only a thousand cultivators?"
"That’s correct."
The Artifact Spirit casually replied, "The Three Daoist Sect emphasizes selecting the finest, leaving only the elite. In this process, those who were eliminated could no longer claim to be disciples of the Three Daoist Sect. Otherwise, countless forces now would be claiming to be the successors of the Three Daoist Sect."
