<h4>Chapter 188 - Understanding Law </h4>


    Son!" a most beautiful and most exquisite looking woman one could every their eyes on shouted, while, joy, confusion and a familiar sense of peace finally returned to her eye spoke.


    She came rushing and hugged the handsome man who was in front of her, as if she didn’t believe he was really back, even after a thousand years of disappearance.


    The woman grabbed her son’s face and spoke, "I knew you were still there somewhere! I knew it!"


    "Good to see you Mother," Zhang Tian said in a kind smile.


    His mother hugged him again and almost crushed his bones, but he didn’tin a bit.


    "Easy on him, wife, he is still frail from all that time there."


    "Right," she said, and immediately her smile disappeared into one of the most dangerous smirks that could ever be seen in the vast expanse, "Since you’re here son, it means we now know who had done this to you, please tell me, so I can pay them in full!"


    "It was Master Rain, but..." before Zhang Tian could finish.


    "Ah so, Master Rain! Husband of mine, this time you won’t stop me like you did when the Poison God cut my child’s hand will you?!"


    "Wife, I wouldn’t dare...thest time I tried that you almost broke all my limbs. I wouldn’t want that, but the Poison God wasn’t someone we could afford to offend..." the king said.


    "You can’t, I can easily break his bones!"


    "True, but his elusive master was too dangerous to fight without a n." The king said.


    "Mother, you probably should let go of that grudge," Zhang Tian said smiling.


    "How can you smile through that humiliation?" His mother said confused.


    "Because Karma is really strange and works in wondrous ways."


    "I fail to understand." Zhang Tian’s mother said.


    "Well, basically, the Poison God’s own disciple was the reason for my escape from that prison. I’ll tell you all about it over tea, I feel like I haven’t had one in a thousand years."


    "Oh, yes yes, of course. Let’s go, Son;"


    -****-


    The moment I pulled the egg out, everything on me was forced forward, like I was turned into a pile of aquatic sludge and was going to be consumed and ttened against this purplish-blue egg.


    My clothes, my hair, and even my sky pearl eyeball were gonna pop out of its ce and be stuck against the egg.


    I hastily used my divine sense and instead of trying to stupidly break the arm thickw lines that spread out from the Egg of delusion, which would have ended with me breaking a few fingers instead of actually dispelling thew lines


    So I began by doing the same thing I did at the gate of this city. I created my ownw lines, to block the offensive and massivew lines of the Egg of Delusion.


    At first, it was weak, and the moment I create da line, it instantly broke against the power of the other massivew lines.


    But, I steadily increased my speed, and used two fingers instead of one, creating two lines at once. They managed to stay in the air and protected me slightly from the effect of the otherw lines for a moment, enough for me to create a third and fourth. And then, kept doing that, continuously creating more and morew lines.


    Andter on, in about half an hour of constant creation ofw lines, I managed to make a protective barrier of smallw lines that managed to hold its own against the pulling power of the Egg of Delusion. And not only protect me, but they were also able to self-sustain as a stand-alone barrier of gravitationalw that could easily fend off even strongerw.


    Though myw lines were smaller, there is always strength in numbers.


    Once I managed to create my own little sanctuary within the heavyw lines of the Egg of Delusion. I sat down and took a moment to breathe and rest up.


    A few momentster, and after a few more soul-rejuvenating pills, I began by studying the massivew lines.


    They were thick, and trying to break them is impossible. So first, might as well try and understand them.


    I used my divine sense to peer into the secrets of the Law Lines and immediately was surprised to notice that these Law lines were made of smaller threads ofw lines weaved into each other through someplex machinery. But this veryplex mechanism was familiar, very familiar to me as I remembered I’ve actually seen this before.


    These were the same heavenly designs that I saw when I first created the Cloud Pill at the Demon Lands.


    The symbols now that I got to study them without heavens directly trying to wipe them away were far easier to understand. But I still noticed that they were iplete. They were the same as the method I used to memorize the heavenly design and left every piece of a symbol iplete.


    But why were they iplete?


    Perhaps because this egg isn’t something perfect? It is creating powerful gravitationalws, but they aren’t perfect.


    So, might as well study them.


    I pulled my brush and paper and began writing the samew lines again.


    Trying to write all thoseplex kneedw lines on one single piece of paper was pretty difficult. So I had to use multiple pages to write a single line.


    Once I was done, I ced the papers together and began noting the symbols.


    A cultivator’s mind is like aputer, the memorization ability thates with cultivation level is so handy it’s straight-up overpowered. And thanks to it, I managed to memorize all the symbols.


    Then I had my finger up, and instead of drawing a line with the intention of it bingw lines, I made slight even microscopic motions moving my finger and infused within them my poison Qi.


    I was actively trying to draw aw line and at the same time, writing the symbols. At first to create aw line with the heavenly symbol that was about a foot long, took me two minutes, since I needed a lot of details to make it.


    But once I finished it. It shone brighter than every one of the lines I had set up as a barrier to protect me. And I could even feel the strength ofwing from it was far stronger and more attuned to heaven than the rest.


    I tried to write anotherw line, doing the same method. And once again created another line, but this time it took me less time.


    I then started recing the olderw lines and drew the symbols on them.


    Hourster, I was able to write this improvedw line in less than a second, though it wasn’t as thick as the ones from the egg of delusion, it wasn’t any lower in quality.


    Then just to try something out, I began by linking all the improvedw lines together and tried to make a square surface made of Law.


    The square surface resembled a shield, and since I was just trying and testing things. I pulled a sword and tried to push it through this gravitationalw makeshift shield.


    The moment the sword went through thew line, it crumpled like a piece of paper and beganpressing against itself until it turned to a sold spherical marble that wasn’t as big as my fist.


    "Holy shit." Surprised at the strength of this gravitationalw which pushed me to try more stuff out.


    The lines I made were able to increase the gravitational field within them by hundreds of times. What if I did the opposite, and actively sought to decrease the gravitational force. Perhaps I’ll achieve free fall?


    Something to note.


    I began trying and testing various things, and took note of everything, not even thinking about the time I spent doing this.


    And in my conclusion, I understood that creatingw lines in the spur of the moment in a battle is probably going to get me killed, but at the same time, I managed one of my greatest discoveries yet.


    I could actually write the gravitationalw on an inscription talisman, and infuse it with Qi then pull it out, the advantage of this is, that using poison Qi mimics the symbols on the talisman and I can actively extract a ready-made gravitational, shield. And the talisman won’t be used. And I could pull as many squarew lines my Qi reserves could allow me from one talisman.


    This made me so excited I began creating several talismans with different gravitational shapes. Simple lines. Spherical gravitational balls, squares, and even sword-shapedws.


    Though most would probably never see the day that they’ll be used, it was actually fun tinkering with the world’sw, no matter how sphemous that might sound.


    Soon, the automaton that oversees the Lord of Lords pagoda came to me.


    "Master Shen Bao, the time in the outside world has already reached noon, you should get going."


    "Ah right, the tournament, thank you," I said to the automaton and immediately left the area.


    If I hadn’t asked him to notify me, I would have probably remained testing stuff out for days toe.


    I appeared within my room, and left the inn, my direction was the area where thepetition was going to be held, and I wasing with a lot of new toys to try.


    I’ll have to apologize to the kids I’ll be facing because grandpa Shen Bao isn’t really worried about little Core Cultivators, the only ones who might push me to draw some of my little toys would probably be the Nascent Soul cultivators.


    And since I really wasn’t interested in whatever the tournament was going to give me, and my sole interest was to draw out the guy who owns what I think would be another book of the poison god, I was going to go easy on all of them, while investigating that person.
