While there were no sect selections ongoing, Jahdiel had sold the items which he had taken from his enemies, and wanted to participate in more auctions. Though there were none at the moment, making him a little sad. He decided to pry on the law formation that he obtained. Now he knew the difference between a formation master and a grandmaster.
While a common formation uses symbols and words to transmit intents to qi, a law formation seems to be connected to an aspect of nature itself, it felt like it was borrowing power from the laws of this word if this even makes sense. Laws in this world seem to be basic knowledge about something given some spiritual and supernatural sense. With the knowledge of the modern world, Jadhiel could comprehend the basic of these laws.
This was something that people from this world have a hard time doing because there was a level of spirituality that separated people's thought process from comprehending this law if they were not at a high enough cultivation rank.
When reaching a high enough cultivation level, the thought segregation lessens, and they could think about and try to comprehend the basic law of physic, this is what is known as enlightenment in this world.
It was at this rank that people could come up with it some science questions like:
Why do things fall to the ground? Why do feathers fall slower than a rock?
Yes, feathers do fall slower than rocks, if there was only gravity they would fall at the same time, but because of air resistance, the feathers fall slower. Because of this situation, science never developed well in this world.
Strangely enough, the blockage is not directly connected to qi, which allowed other forms of studies to develop like formations, alchemy, qi techniques, and blacksmithing(which have quite a magical touch in this world, when it's related to qi metals). This made however agriculture take nearly a millions year to develop. And, yes, alchemy is related to qi and not vitality, because when the herb dies or is dying its vitality were converted back to qi. The special effects from pills come, from the type of qi, which is formed with them, which ends up boasting the natural herb effects sometimes, or in most cases create a completely new magical effect. The pills only take effect, when the body of the user turns the qi into vitality, however.
Returning to the subject, Jadhiel could not make the spiritual connection and the law power, because of his insuficient cultivation rank. After reflecting about life, he thought that maybe this world was influencing his way of thinking too much because he forgot to add a modern sewage system at his parent's house and birth village. Later, Jahdiel swore that he would go solve this. Jadhiel did not know yet, that a perfect opportunity would be presented to him soon after he went downstairs.
"I beg your forgiveness, my lord but we are already full. We do not have any room left. The inn next door still has some rooms left and I can assure you that their service is as good as ours." The receptionist said to a random young master that entered the inn, Jadhiel was in. The young master did not kill the woman here and there, because the inn was the property of the Eight Treasure sect, and like all sects, they act quite aggressively with whoever damages their property.
"I said I want to be here, so I will be here. I am the young master from the Heavenly Lumen ancient clan. Mere commoner, I did not ask you. I command you." The young masted shouted, when he was about to slap the receptionist in the face, Jadhiel intercepted his hand.
"You!" Shouted the young master looking at Jadhiel.
The young master remember that there were laws to be followed in this city, which belongs to the Eight Treasures Sect, and that he would have to tip the city guards for his offense to be ignored, so he went for the cheaper solution:
"Leave the room and everything you own and I might let you live, peasant." The young master said. He waited for Jadhiel to follow his others, so he could humiliate him properly to calm down his anger.
As he thought no peasant would be dumb enough, to become the enemy of a prestigious young master like him. The young master waited and waited, and nothing happened.
The young master, which was only at the Meridian Condessing Realm, tried to punch Jadhiel, who intercepted the punch with a weak one, which broke the young master's arm. It was then that the idiotic young master, that was unworthy of being a filler character, saw that Jadhiel was two ranks above him.
"Cripple this bastard right now!" The young master commanded his guards.
All the guards were only at the Soul Awakening Realm, which made it easy for Jadhiel to beat them up, as he was also a body cultivator, Jahdiel worked hard to not kill them in one blow.
" You wanted to cripple me. So I think it's fair I do the same to you." Jahdiel said, slowly walking closer to the young master.
"How dare!.." The young master started shouting, but when he saw Jadhiel was serious he quickly changed his done..." No... I beg you, my lord!"
"You beg? How amusing." Jadhiel then remembered what he heard from a random young master, no one will ever bother to make justice for a cripple, fearing it was true, Jadhiel changed his mind, and offered the young master a way out, after punching only half an inch away from the young master abdomen, which hit the air making some air ripples with pure strength:
"You can do something for me. Returning to the young clan and taking someone to take revenge for your humiliation, I am feeling bored."
The young master worked hard, but failed miserly to hide his anger, as his face got red with ire at Jadhiel's last words:
" You do not need to worry, I am not affiliated with any of the major forces, I am no major sect disciple, or empire noble, much less ancient clan young master..." What made the young master angry was how Jahdiel pressed his hand on the young master's head in a way that seemed like he was domesticating a dog. The young master swore to himself that he would have his family avenge him, for all this humiliation.
'Go, my p*k*m*n hunt a 'chain mission': offending young master's clan for me. I anxiously wait for your, elder brother, father, grandfather, and ancestor to try to kill me one after the other.' Jadhiel thought.
The elder sister from the young master came with a dozen thugs. She and two of the thugs were in the same cultivation realm as Jadhiel, while the other ten were one rank below. Jadhiel stood there patiently waiting for them to attack him, the pain he expected never came their fists felt like a body massage to the point he yawned, meanwhile, his enemies broke their hands.
"Thank you for the massage, I guess." Said Jahdiel.
"You!"The elder sister shouted. "So you are a body cultivator? The first I have seen one with this level of strength, but everyone has a weakness, all attack at once." She shouted. Cultivators that can attack with their souls rarely attack ones at their cultivation level, because of how risky and unpredictable a soul fight is, but there was an exception when several cultivators attacked together one soul.
Jadhiel's soul, which was now a green world with a central white orb, and a hundred lesser orbs connected to the central one by strings, was invaded by twelve souls. The strongest of them was like a female Chalkydri. It was the young miss from the ancient clan, which Jadhiel had already forgotten the name.
Her soul had a form with feet and tails in the form of a lion, and a crocodile's head, her appearance empurpled, like the rainbow; twelve wings, with feet and tails in the form of a lion, and a crocodile's head, her appearance empurpled, like the rainbow.
The other souls were formless transparent ones. The souls started to become poison and corrode inside Jadhiel's soul. Jadhiel willed the soul cores and intents to be split out from them, which was very easiest as the souls were already very weakened by the poisoning and corrosion.
After spelling the unnecessary parts out, those thirteen people died. Jadhiel could feel his cultivation in the Soul Condessing increasing a bit, but it was still far from a break through, but his soul physique evolved again. In fact, that was something only some one with his physic could do, discarding an enemy's soul completely, and taking all the soul cultivation and techniques to improve his own. He returned to his room to stabilize his cultivation. He got a good amount of wealth from his present enemies. It took a while for the young miss' father to find out that his daughter was dead, and come seeking revenge.
He was in the triad union realm. He came there alone. After Jadhiel, left the inn, he left the city to a small grove outside. The grove was so small and insignificant that it was not even on the map. He lay down in a tree and pretended to sleep. He was soon ambushed by the man. The man first pierced Jahdiel in the right leg with a spear.
How could this spear even pierce Jahdiel? It could pierce because it was a family heirloom, made in ancient times by combining orichalcum and heavenly ore, bathing them in Austras koks leaves and Heavenly White Lotus solution, and merging a law formation with the light law.
"Ouch. This hurts dude." Jahdiel said, contradicting his supposed calm face.
"I cannot believe I lost my daughter because of this trash. I guess she was trash as well."The man said, he was pissed he could not brag about his daughter's talent to his enemies anymore.
"I will make you experience h*ll, b*st*rd."The man said.
"You can try." Jahdiel said in an interference face.
"Do you see this? It is called eternal light. It is the most prices family heirloom from my great ancestral family. Our great founder found it on an ancient ruin. It is a weapon hard to tame, only those with the right technique can use it. It is a weapon meant to be used against the wicked, which dare to be against its owner. It hurts one soul so it can cause much more pain.
Only those in our family know how to use it. You know why... because we are superior to things like you peasant."The man said while he was talking he was piercing Jahdiel everywhere. There were several holes in Jahdiel's body, including shoulders, elbows, arms, forearms, thighs, knees, legs, and feet.
'What a fourth-rate villain and an idiot, who reveals that they are alone carrying such a valuable thing' Jahdiel thought.
"It was a pain to convince my father, the sect head, and the sect ancestress to let me take this thing to torture you properly. So do your job and squeal like a pig." The man said.
Jahdiel was tired of this little game and decided to click on the revenge button.
