Law of the World

After calming herself for some time, Ming Yue tried to analyse her situation.

[I am an expert cultivator with so many experiences, but this is the first time I heard of reincarnation! Wait, is this truly a reincarnation? A bona fide reincarnation? Or was my soul taking over a mortal baby's body? Or have my body regressed into a newborn's form? Oh my Lord….] The more Ming Yue was thinking, the more questions popped out of nowhere.

After throwing so many unanswered questions, she stopped torturing her feeble mind.

[Sigh. . Really pain in the ass. . . Let's sort the information I have now.]

[Let's say that I am alive as a reincarnated person. So of course, this body is of a mortal. Then the people that I have been observing should be my relative, siblings, or even maid. If so, then this body's family, err.. I mean MY family should be wealthy enough because they could hire a few maids.]

Ming Yue tilted her small head to the side to see a young woman in her early twenties. The Young woman had a long and black hair with a few strands of white hair in the middle of her black hair. It was an unusual view, but it was not something bizarre. In fact, she was kind of beautiful as she had a mysterious charm which was attracting Ming Yue's attention.

Realizing Ming Yue's gaze onto her, the young woman wears a gentle smile as she gets closer and caresses Ming Yue's hairless head.

[She is really beautiful.] Ming Yue murmured in her mind.

Suddenly, a loud 'BAMMM' voice could be heard as it was disturbing the harmony between Ming Yue and the young woman that she suspected as her Mother.

Even though she couldn't see a lot of details, Ming Yue could see a pair of shadow came closer to her place. Seeing the interaction between the pair of shadow and my Mother, they are most probably my siblings or cousins.

As she tried to compile what she gained just now, Mingyue suddenly fell into another drowsiness.

It is the time for her to sleep again. . .

…

[In that world, in my whole life, it feels like that I have no life other than cultivating.]

[No hobby. I was used to observing things and many things. But other than that, I had no other hobby.]

[No friends. I mean I have a few friends but we rarely came in contact, thanks to my seclusion. Another cultivation as my source of the problem.]

Since no one answers her question of 'why was she reincarnated?', Ming Yue spent her whole time reminiscing about the way she was spending her whole life.

And the answer was only one word.

[Dull.]

[Her whole life is dull.]

[Cultivating is indeed useful. Protect oneself and your loved ones, hold up justice, stands above the mass, but in the end, for what? Achieving immortality? Pierce through the nine heaven? Or maybe destroyed the hell so no one would have to go to that kind of place?]

[And once someone lost their cultivation, then what that person could do? Return to farming the lands?]

[After I lost my cultivation, I mean lost my body, there is nothing I can do. Moreover, now I am trapped in a newborn's body.]

[And now, what would be my aim? Cultivating again? Do I have to fill more of my days with cultivating again?] She was trapped in the middle of her confusion.

[No! I do not want to repeat my life! I want to change!] a glimmer of determination flashed in her eyes.

[I will make an oath to heaven! I will never cultivate anymore! I will do anything I like! It is my own choice! FREEDOM]

After making that oath, she felt her body warmer. She did not think that when a mortal making an oath to heaven, they will feel side effect.

Based on what Ming Yue knows, usually, when a cultivator making an oath, heavens will growl above that cultivator. The heavens would mark that person until that person perished.

But on the other side, mortal's oath has no weight at all. Mortal was capable to make any random oath anytime anywhere anyone, unlike what her body felt just now."

After she made that oath, she was filled with anticipation.

An anticipation of her own future, her very own path, her choice.

…

[Today should be the first day of winter. It is the second winter after I reincarnated.] Seeing a faint snowfall from the window near her bed, Ming Yue made another observation.

[I have seen summer, and now winter comes again. So there is a good possibility that this place has at least 4 seasons.]

Many days passed and Ming Yue's body gradually getting better. She can see many things in a limited area, and also she is capable to move her limbs a little. She could observe the rooms design, it looks quite exquisite.

But to her surprise, Ming Yue had her soul, Matured Immortal Soul from her previous body. It was in the exact same form as it was in the form of a matured young lady. If we count from a mortal's age, then her soul's age should be around 20-25 years old.

Ming Yue's soul had a flawless feature and cold look, very similar to her previous body.

In the long road of cultivation, the soul is one of the most important aspects that could be cultivated after reaching Immortal Stage.

The first phase of cultivation is to temper the mortal body, strengthening the vessel, and it was called Body Tempering Realm. The next aim of finishing the Body Tempering Realm is to create a core of the cultivator. There are a lot of steps to transform the core into the golden core, the condensation of the cultivator's soul after a long time condensation.

After Golden Core realm was the Immortal Stage, crushing the golden core and giving birth to Immortal Infant Soul. And this is the first Heavens Tribulation that human would have to go through.

The maturation of the Immortal Soul was not an easy feat, some immortal spend thousand years, and those unlucky cultivators will not be able to react Matured Immortal Soul state even after creating a Law.

It is a big surprise since Ming Yue didn't think that her soul was the same Immortal Soul she had in her previous life.

Except for her Immortal Soul, Ming Yue didn't feel anything from her sea of consciousness as if it was a mortal's consciousness.

There is no spiritual qi that she around her at all. It feels like a barren place void of any spiritual qi. Even though she was surprised, Ming Yue doesn't feel sad about this as she doesn't have any plan to cultivate again.

But to the opposite of the spiritual qi, this place is abundant of 'Law of the World'. Law of the World is a heavenly phenomenon where every cultivator that has condenses Dao to temper their own Dao. It is called Dao Tempering Realm, a realm above Dao Lord. This small realm usually would be skipped by many cultivators since it wouldn't disturb their foundation.

There is one prime reason of why many cultivators skip the Dao Tempering Realm. The risk is too big, even failing in the tempering of the Dao would mean his own Dao Foundation would be destroyed to nothing. The destruction of Dao Foundation is the same as returning to the first level of the Dao Foundation Realm and the cultivator would have to build another Dao Foundation. It was akin to gambling.

But for the expert cultivators, they knew the only way to go through Dao Tempering Realm without any risk. That is the Law of the World.

The Law of the World is a worldly phenomenon that happens when heaven is blessing a certain area. Of course, Law of the World is a very rare thing since it is usually condensed in a small area and limited size. But in this world, even though Law of the World is not condensed yet, the amount is terrifying.

[It is weird. If there is no qi, then people will not be able to cultivate, and Law of the World is clearly a waste of heavens gift. Then why the Law of the World in this place is so abundant?]

[Maybe because there is no qi, Law of the World would be gathered and condensed naturally?] Ming Yue was surprised.

Of course, Ming Yue is trying to always show her changed facial expression so she did not return to be another cold woman again.

Ming Yue hesitated. She clearly doesn't wish to be a cultivator, but this treasure box is far too valuable to be left alone. She couldn't accept to waste it!

After hesitating for a few days, Ming Yue finally made her choice.

[It is a waste to let this gift rotten untouchable, so I should be using this gift carefully.] Ming Yue smiled slyly.

Before reaching Immortal Soul realm from Golden Core realm, every human cultivator had one small realm called Life's Destruction. It is a realm where human race would destroy and restructure their own mortal body to become 'golden body', blessed by heavens tribulation and earth treasure, so the cultivator's vessel is strong enough to create their immortal soul infant.

Ming Yue's aim is not destroying and restructuring her body, but the phase where human's five senses were being sharpened when the body is restructured.

[Theoretically, I should be able to enhance a certain part of my body. Of course, I would not temper the whole part of my body because I feared that it would go against my oath. But, vision-enhancing should be outside my oath, right?]

Ming Yue feels frustrated because her observing hobby was being disrupted by her own eyes. Unable to see things clearly is her reasoning. Moreover, vision-enhancing is adding a thin layer of condensed qi, similar to wearing glasses. She could tune the glasses to suit her own needs anytime. But in her case, she is not using surrounding qi, but Law of the World.

[Okay, let's do this before it become a pain in the ass..] Ming Yue made her preparation carefully.

[The first step is synchronization. I will have to draw some Law of the World, draw its essence as pure as possible and condense it. Then make a contact with my eyes as close as possible. I should be doing this step slowly and repeatedly, I cannot afford any failures, I got two eyes but I do not want to lose any one of them.] Ming Yue carefully repeated the step many times and made many small changes, and also prepared for the worst-case scenario.

After making sure there is nothing she missed, Ming Yue braced herself.

[Okay, let's begin. There is only one chance, I cannot afford any failure.] She closed my eyes, trying to call Law of the World around her. Using her Immortal Soul, Ming Yue could gather the Law of the World around her very easily.

[. . . Surprisingly, it is not hard to summon, but the next step is drawing their purest essence, I will need some time. . .]

[. . . Eh? It should take some time to draw the essence, but Law of the World I draw is already in their purest form. I really feel that I hit the jackpot.] Ming Yue was surprised.

Without stalling any time, Ming Yue started to pour Law of the World essence into her eyes slowly. The process would make her eye itch, but she must not rub her eye or the process would be disturbed.

[. . . Eh? It is weird?] Ming Yue was puzzled.

Based on her plan, Ming Yue would try to familiarize the essence of Law of the World with her eye a few times, slowly and repeatedly, before fusing it carefully. But not only her eye felt comfortable from the process, Ming Yue thought that she doesn't need to repeatedly pour it.

Ming Yue just needs to gather Law of the World that was already in the purest form, then immediately poured it into her eyes carefully. Even for a cultivator, Life's Destruction process is something painful so she had to grit my teeth. But unexpectedly, Ming Yue just feels something good in her eyes. It's like touching cool water.

The process did not take a long time and Ming Yue's stomach rings its bell at the end of the process. It was very timely.

[Wow, unexpectedly the process works very smooth, there should be no problem.] Ming Yue smiled in her mind. She did not mind her rumbling stomach because she was still a little baby, not an aloof woman's cultivator anymore.

[Yeah, the density of the Law of the World has considerably lessened. Even though it was a pity, but this vision-enhancing was the only way for me to use this heavens gift.] Ming Yue chuckled as she justified her actions in her mind.

Satisfied with her result, Ming Yue chose to treat herself with some food.
