CHAPTER 454 SNEAKING IN

"Though one can only teleport for 100 feet after mastering this rule formula, the special part is that

there's no incantation needed; only the movement of Spirit Power is required, which makes it a very

special skill to acquire." Darren briefly checked through.

This formula was also very helpful during battles among martial artists because powerful attacks could

be dodged by teleporting a distance of 100 feet. It was indeed a precious skill. It was also useful for

escaping; as long as one had enough Spirit Power, this technique could be used infinitely. The trick

was to have enough Spirit Power.

After choosing the three rule formulas, Darren returned to where the ape was, who was expecting him.

"You've chosen your formulas, and the method of training is also passed on to you. Now the rest

depends on you alone. No one can do it for you. There's one more thing that you need to know: your

Spirit Power is at level 18 now, but don't hastily surpass level 36. Something unexpected can happen to

you, and you won't like it," the ape warned him, hoping he would heed the warning.

'Do not surpass level 36?'

Darren had heard of what could happen to him if he did so. A witcher told him that Spirit Power over

level 36 could cause its owner to become the witcher itself!

Strictly speaking, a witcher was not considered a human being anymore; in fact, it was, another kind of

species.

However, it also meant one more thing. Normally, no matter how powerful a rule cultivator was, his

Spirit Power level would not be over 36.

"I know, I know, so I'll control myself, how hard can it be?" Darren replied with a question.

"There's no need for control though, but the awakening of the Spirit Power can be very difficult,

especially after level 20. It may take over decades or hundreds of years to increase even one level.

After level 30, thousands of years are considered short.

Even if you have some special methods to obtain Spirit Power, reaching level 30 within a thousand

years is difficult and hard, to say the least. The Spirit Power of my real body just barely passed level

30, but with the rule formulas of the demonic monsters, I could easily defeat an inferior holy warrior

without any effort at all," the ape said nonchalantly.

"Oh, really?" Darren gasped with shock, "Rule formulas mastered with the Spirit Power of merely level

30 can be so horrifying? I've heard that some witchers have even reached level 72. How powerful is

that! I can't imagine what they are capable of!"

"You've heard of the witcher, haven't you?" Surprised, the ape looked at Darren and calmly replied, "As

far as I know, a person doesn't necessarily become stronger after level 36, even though his Spirit

Power's level increase further, due to the fact that rule cultivation and witchcraft cultivation are different

in nature, but I do not understand it fully. Does that answer your question?"

"I see. Sir, but you must have mastered true rule, right?" Darren asked eagerly.

"Yes, I've mastered one medium Attack True Rule, one inferior Refining True Rule, and one inferior

Belligerence True Rule. If I have not mastered these three true rules, my real body could not have

defeated that boy, the son of a holy emperor. To be honest, he was very powerful," The ape did not

hold back and told Darren absolutely everything about him. He kept no secrets from Darren.

Just then, Darren understood how the Giant Ape grew to be so powerful. It all depended on the

mastering of the true rules! Right then, Darren understood what he must do.

"You can go now and familiarize yourself with rule formulas. Get to know them inside out. I'm only an

avatar and cannot linger for long. You can come to me when you have other questions. Otherwise, if

you need stronger rule formulas, I'll open the second level of One Rule Tower for you so that you can

attempt to acquire them."

"Yes, sir, Thank you so much. I will." Darren bowed respectfully.

"You may leave now and get to work." The avatar of the ape faded, and immediately Darren's soul

returned to the outside world.

"What are you doing, master? Your body just froze for so long. What happened? Are you all right?" The

Water Kylin was already impatient. Darren didn't even move an inch as he kept waiting, but he didn't

want to disrupt him. Clearly, something had happened to him.

"Nothing, my mind just wandered, I was uh...It was uh..." Darren smiled halfheartedly.

"Gosh, your mind wandered away for such a long time? Where did it go?" The Water Kylin jumped from

his impatience.

"Stop blabbering, we'll enter the Ancient Void Battlefield after a few days." Darren glared at him in a

serious manner.

He planned to wait for his force of control to recover, and then enter the Ancient Void Battlefield to

familiarize himself with these rule formulas. It could save a tremendous amount of time for him to do so,

because time flowed differently there.

The rule formulas learned in the Ancient Void Battlefield couldn't be used in the real world, but being

aware of the process beforehand, he could learn them again after he got out without difficulty. He

already planned this very carefully.

Darren dragged the dead body of the person in the black robe, and only hid in a cave for a few days

before his force of control recovered. He felt himself again.

Darren's cultivation base at present allowed him to require a little more than twenty days to open the

Ancient Void Battlefield for once. He didn't need to wait for a month.

"Come, hurry up, follow me." Darren opened the Ancient Void Battlefield, and brought the dead

person's body with him.

Alone with himself, Darren found a quiet spot and began to study and understand the rule formulas he

obtained.

"The Copying Skill demands communicating with the Illusion Rule. That isn't so complicated. I can do

this easily."

Darren's spiritual sense moved, and his eye pupil turned silvery white. He sought for the Illusion Rule

as the ape described in his head before.

Soon, he found it, hidden in the Ancient Void Battlefield. Applying the method the ape taught him, he

was able to communicate with a miniature of its power. It was a small start but a start nonetheless.

"Ha! Truly, the right methods are essential. I used to communicate with the Wind Rule, and the Rule of

the Earth in a straightforward but hardly clever method, causing me serious headaches. I never

realized it could be so effortless if I used the right way. Now I'm finally on the right track." Darren's heart

filled with delight and his eyes beamed with excitement.

In the Ancient Void Battlefield, he gradually continued, from communicating with the rules, to attempting

to borrow their strength, and finally mastering the Copying Skill. It only took him ten days.

Afterwards, he experimented with the dead body. As Darren expected, he was able to turn into the

appearance of the dead body.

Thereafter, he practiced other two rule formulas, and mastered them without obstacles. Darren was a

quick learner.

Darren used only a little more than 30 days to master these three inferior rule formulas. In the outside

world, merely hours had passed.

Successful with his experiments, Darren returned to the real world and learned the rule formulas once

more.

Since Darren was already familiar with the process, he learned all three rule formulas to high level

within only six hours.

Other rule cultivators would be frightened with shock if they knew he learned all three rule formulas

within such a short time. They would also be intimidated. Normally, a rule cultivator with Spirit Power of

level 18 would require at least two years to master these three formulas. But Darren was far from

normal. Belongs © to .

His silvery eyes made it possible for him to shorten such an immense amount of time. The pupil could

directly perceive the rules, so he did not need an extensive length of time to detect and unearth them,

like others did.

Darren released the dead body of the black-robed man, and copied his appearance, and then collected

every item it owned.

After that, he took out the true soul token, and scanned for the position of the Red Inferno Sect.

"It's located at a place 30, 000 miles away from the barren mountains. I can certainly get there in half a

day." Darren had finally found it.

Whiz! Whiz!

Darren soared into the sky.

Winds by his ears echoed as Darren accelerated to his maximum speed. He was already near the

palace in half a day's time, as he had correctly estimated.

He landed a few miles away from the palace of the Red Inferno Sect, and walked with great speed

before he found himself standing in front of it.

On the surface, everywhere appeared deserted, but with the true soul token, a huge palace could be

seen, firmly standing in the mountains, a world beyond a world.

Darren stepped forward, and a great wave of rule power rushed at him, suppressing everything within

its region. It took him by great surprise!

"Oh, my! It is such a powerful attack of a rule array. Even a three-star grand warrior cannot survive if he

steps in without caution."

Darren immediately comprehended how powerful the Sect-protecting Rule Array was, with his profound

knowledge of rule cultivation now.
