Nature’s Laws and Rules

“You didn’t tell him the consequences?” Xiaoshuai inquired.

Ku Mu shook his head. “I didn’t think he’d attempt a task so big. It’s going to be too late to tell him if I don’t stop him continuing down the wrong path. There are only days to go before the mystic immortals contest.”

“In that case, what do you suggest? How about I go have a word with him?”

Ku Mu contemplated his options and then deployed his formation into Primordial Yin Yang, shrouding Mu Yu in green poison.

“Are you seriously going to kill him?!”

“He’d be dead ages ago if he could be killed with poison. I’m using my formation as a guide for him to think so that he can see how difficult it is to deduce one rule, let alone multiple.”

“Ancestor, Zhuge Xiaosheng sent word to send the rank six and seven pills once we have assembled enough,” Daoist Yundan reported to Helian Kong in Pill Hall.

“Wise thinking. It’s best to minimise trips outside of Pill Cauldron Sect with Third Heaven Palace possibly setting up ambushes,” responded Helian Kong. “By the way, have you looked into why Revealing Cauldron was active out of the blue two days ago?”

“I did not find any issues with it. That being said, Mystic Spirit Sect was purportedly devastated.”

“Send an investigation team. It might be the work of Third Heaven Palace. We need to keep a pulse on what they’re up to at all times.”

“Understood, Ancestor.”

Whoosh!

“That won’t be necessary.”

“Who’s there?” exclaimed Helian Kong, on guard upon sensing Apotheosis Realm qi.

“K-Ku Mu?” Daoist Yundan stuttered as he watched Ku Mu glide in.

“You’re Eternally Youthful Ku Mu? Hang on, Eternally Youthful Ku Mu is dead. Who are you?” Helian Kong aggressed.

“Eternally Youthful Ku Mu,” Ku Mu answered, displaying his Pill Cauldron Formation on his hand to verify his identity.

“Pill Cauldron Formation Seal! You really are…” Helian Kong ran his eyes up and down Ku Mu. “You’ve regained your Apotheosis Realm cultivation?”

“Only if I have Revealing Cauldron.”

Daoist Yundan apologetically expressed, “Brother Ku M-”

“There’s no need for you to feel guilty, Senior Brother. You didn’t do anything wrong.” Ku Mu knew what Daoist Yundan wanted to say, and his stance had not changed.

Helian Kong queried, “You are the prodigy, Ku Mu? Mu Yu’s shifu?”

“Yes.”

Helian Kong beamed. “Terrific! Now this is what Pill Cauldron Sect should be like! Finally!”

“Ku Mu, how did you suddenly come back?” Daoist Yundan asked.

“… It’s a long story. I just came here to caution you. Do not go near Mystic Spirit Sect. It’s settled.”

“Your body…” inquired Daoist Yundan.

“I’m a spirit now.”

“Shall I inform Mu Yu?” questioned Helian Kong.

“He knows,” responded Ku Mu. “I need you to help me with something else.”

“Just say that word,” voiced Helian Kong.

“Have someone deliver this jadeite piece to Zhuge Xiaosheng, and tell him to personally visit the fiend territory.”

“The fiend race?”

“Zhuge Xiaosheng will understand.”

“I shall go,” voiced Daoist Yundan. “Does Junior Sister know you’re back?”

“… I’ll tell her in person.”

Helian Kong informed, “Yuande is still out of sorts thanks to Third Heaven Palace. I heard you are proficient as a physician. Can you take a look at him? I know about his departure leading to the ambush that took your life, but he is an Ascension Realm cultivator and…”

“He had nothing to do with my downfall. I will pay him a visit.”

The time the sun pierced the clouds. The time a flower bloomed. The time a tree wilted. The reason eggs broke when thrown against rocks. The reason there was spiritual energy in the world. The answer to those events was nature’s rules. To understand all rules was akin to understanding why every inch of an ocean was in the state it was – overwhelming. As such, Mu Yu visualised himself as a wave travelling from one end to the other. If there was a rule to everything, then his existence had to have an associated rule.

Once Mu Yu equated himself to a natural rule, he felt afloat. He imagined himself as an individual in an ocean of people. People came to life and died, but he was special as he escaped the law of death where there was life.

“If I don’t use spiritual energy I can’t fly due to the laws of nature. Once I fly, howbeit, there is still a speed limit because of nature’s laws. Therefore, there are layers to these laws.”

Mu Yu deduced laws based on the rule Ku Mu grasped and then branched out to learn more. When he ran into a wall, he imagined himself as a brick in the wall to comprehend it. As Ku Mu expected, unfortunately, Mu Yu soon realised how long it took to figure one out.

Damn, I’ll need thousands upon thousands of years to deduce all of the rules. Dad must’ve deployed his formation to hint this to me. I should’ve realised when there aren’t that many Apotheosis Realm cultivators. Great, what rule can I study, then?
