Chapter 294: Level 3 Crystallization, Law Power
When the Star Alliance was mentioned, the adjutant's expression became somewhat unusual. He hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "Things at the Star Alliance… are still the same as always."
Over the past three hundred years, the Wizarding World had been a tumultuous journey, full of ups and downs.
However, the Star Alliance, entrenched in the chaos of war, had adopted a completely different approach.
Despite attacking four planes simultaneously, the Star Alliance had always maintained a steady, unhurried pace over the years.
It was evident that they held an advantage in military strength, yet there were no signs of a major offensive. From beginning to end, they had been consistent and methodical, advancing slowly but surely.
In contrast to the bloody battles involving the Thousand-Headed Bird and the Black Suo Tower, the Star Alliance's strategy seemed calm and collected.
Upon hearing the adjutant's words, Ronning furrowed his brow slightly.
He, too, could not grasp the intentions of the Star Alliance.
"What on earth is Su Nan planning?"
While Ronning was dissatisfied with the Star Alliance's actions, he could not openly criticize them.
After a long period of contemplation, he looked up at the adjutant and instructed, "Go to the Star Alliance yourself. Ask Su Nan what their intentions are. If the Star Alliance is willing to escalate the offensive and apply more pressure on the Black Suo Tower, we can provide them with some resource support."
"Yes, sir!"
Ulan Plane, Ulan City.
On the top floor of the Starlight Wizard Tower, in front of the Elemental Furnace, Su Nan sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes tightly closed, utterly still.
Dense energy particles swirled around him, almost solidifying into a substance, resembling a cloud of faint, multicolored mist that enveloped him completely.
In the unseen void, vast amounts of energy particles entered his body every second.
After an undetermined amount of time, a strange fluctuation suddenly emanated from Su Nan's body.
In an instant, the surrounding energy particles, as if drawn by an invisible force, surged toward him, vanishing into his body in the blink of an eye.
In just a few breaths, the Energy Particles within a ten-meter radius of Su Nan were completely absorbed. The incoming Energy Particles had not yet had time to surge in and replenish the area, creating a brief vacuum around him.
Moments later, Su Nan opened his eyes, a fleeting flash of joy crossing his features.
"Finally broken through!"
It had been nearly four hundred years since he had reached Level 3 Liquefaction, and now he had attained Level 3 Crystallization.
As he gazed at the three Talent Crystals deep within his Sea of Consciousness, surrounded by swirling granular Spiritual Power, a genuine smile bloomed on Su Nan’s face.
Over fourteen hundred years had passed since he became a Wizard Apprentice, and he had finally reached this stage.
Now, as long as he successfully comprehended Law Power, he could break through to the realm that countless Wizards dreamed of and ascend to True Spirit Wizard.
After a moment, Su Nan finally snapped out of his elation and began to consider his next steps.
Comprehending Law Power was no simple task.
Law was the foundation of the Multiverse, the original source of all planes.
Thus, Law Power was the most profound and essential force within the Multiverse.
To wield such power meant one had to delve deeply into the nature of the Multiverse.
For this mysterious and elusive nature, Wizards often used one word to describe it: Truth.
Wizards called themselves seekers of Truth, often equating Truth with power, which was actually correct. The Law Power that represented Truth was, in essence, the most powerful force in the Multiverse, without exception.
The divinity of gods—Divine Authority, Divinity, and Divine Power—was also, at its core, a form of Law Power.
Within the vast Multiverse, there existed many different kinds of Law.
There were Elemental Laws such as fire, lightning, ice, hurricanes, and earth. There were also Rule Laws like shadow, death, life, and vegetation. Beyond those lay Existential Laws of space and time.
Strictly speaking, Existential Laws were stronger than Rule Laws, which in turn were stronger than Elemental Laws.
The difficulty in comprehending these different tiers of Law varied greatly.
As a result, the means of enhancing a True Spirit Wizard's combat power also varied significantly.
"Throughout the countless eras since the emergence of Wizards, no Wizard has ever mastered both the Spatial Law and the Temporal Law. At best, a select few geniuses have brushed against their edges. Nevertheless, these individuals have invariably become renowned and formidable figures within the Multiverse.
Next is the Rule Law, which is exceedingly challenging to grasp. However, those who advance to True Spirit Wizard using it possess strength and potential that far exceed those who achieve the same rank through Elemental Law. Prominent figures such as the Deep Blue Alliance, the Gloomy Wizard, the Star Spirit Clock Tower, and other major Wizard factions predominantly have leadership composed of Rule-based True Spirit Wizards. Of course, very few can progress to True Spirit Wizard using Rule Law; more often than not, they comprehend Elemental Law.
Generally speaking, a Tier 3 Crystallization Wizard will choose one Law to focus on wholeheartedly in pursuit of a breakthrough. However, a few rare geniuses venture to comprehend two Laws simultaneously. Ninety-nine percent of these individuals ultimately fail, squandering a significant amount of time. Yet, for the few who succeed, the rewards are immense. A True Spirit Wizard who controls two Elemental Laws simultaneously is no weaker than a True Spirit Wizard who masters one Rule Law. If one manages to control one Elemental Law and one Rule Law at the same time, their strength far surpasses both of those previously mentioned. As for a True Spirit Wizard who controls two Rule Laws simultaneously, their prowess is obvious. It's simply that those who can achieve this are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
It is already impressive for an average Tier 3 Crystallization Wizard to comprehend one Law Power, and the success rate for simultaneously grasping two Law Powers is alarmingly low.
"Which Law Power should I choose?" Su Nan pondered, a contemplative expression on his face. He had considered this question many times. To ease the difficulty of comprehension, Tier 3 Crystallization Wizards typically refer to their own power systems when selecting Law Powers, with their Innate Ability being of utmost importance. For instance, a Tier 3 Crystallization Wizard who has mastered a fire-type Innate Ability is more likely to succeed if they choose a fire Law Power for their studies."
A cultivator who has mastered the White Bone Innate Ability of a Tier 3 Crystallization Wizard will find it significantly easier to comprehend the Power of the Death Law.
Su Nan intends to do just that.
Although he possesses the Synthesis Cube, a Golden Finger, he does not arrogantly consider himself a peerless genius capable of grasping Time and Space type Existential Laws.
Should he pursue that path, the most likely outcome would be the wastage of several millennia, ultimately forcing him to change focus and explore other Laws.
However, Su Nan is not willing to settle for merely an Elemental Law.
After careful consideration, he has decided to choose a singular Rule Law to comprehend, potentially adding an elemental rule on top of that.
After all, once he advances to True Spirit Wizard, he can continue to understand more Laws or fuse other Laws to create higher-level Laws.
It would just be a bit more challenging.
For now, he seeks stability. It’s never too late to change directions later if he finds the extra energy.
"Liquid Metal, Absolute Forbidden Zone, and Falling Star Rain."
"With three types of Innate Abilities in total, the Law I choose should ideally have a high compatibility with these three."
Su Nan's eyes gleamed as he quickly made up his mind.
Gravity!
Not only does Liquid Metal contain a Gravity attribute, but the fall of the Falling Star Rain is also related to Gravity.
Combining these two Innate Abilities to comprehend Gravity Law would undoubtedly yield double the results with half the effort.
Moreover, Gravity is a manifestation of Universal Gravitation, which is influenced by the curvature of space-time.
If he masters Gravity Law, he may potentially use it as a foundation to explore Universal Gravitation in the future, or even further grasp Time and Space Law.
While Gravity Law may appear somewhat inferior compared to Life and Death Laws and others, its actual potential is much greater, and it can produce remarkable effects in combat.
Of course, it would be best to pair it with another Elemental Law.
Su Nan didn’t deliberate for too long before deciding to choose Thunder Law.
The defining characteristic of Gravity Law is its ability to use Heavy Pressure to slow down and suppress enemies. If he can simultaneously harness the power of Lightning to enhance his speed, the advantages gained would be astonishing.
"Besides that, Thunder Law is also renowned for its formidable lethality, and when paired with Gravity Law, they complement each other perfectly—a match made in heaven.
"I'll choose Gravity and Thunder Law."
Su Nan quickly made his decision.
"Next, I need to comprehend Law Power."
While in the Earth Crystal Plane, Su Nan had acquired a Law Crystal.
The Law Crystal was instrumental in enhancing one's comprehension of Law Power, and its effects were evident.
Generally speaking, the first step in understanding Law Power is the most challenging.
Sensing the existence of Law Power from the void, from nothingness into something, is an extremely difficult task.
Many Tier 3 Crystallization Wizards can spend thousands of years without managing to take this first step, let alone improve their comprehension of Law Power afterwards.
However, with the Law Crystal in hand, the difficulty of this initial step is significantly reduced.
"To comprehend Law Power, it's best to find a corresponding environment."
"Thunder Law is simple; I just need to find a Lightning Element Space."
"It's Gravity Law that's problematic. I need to locate a Plane with a higher level of Gravity."
Su Nan quickly searched his mind for a suitable Plane, but after much contemplation, he remained at a loss.
Nevertheless, he was not in a hurry. There were countless Multiverse Planes, so surely there must be a suitable one. He just needed to invest some time and effort to find it.
If all else fails, he could always purchase information.
Planes with such high Gravity are typically not resource-rich, making it easier to acquire information about them.
Having made up his mind, Su Nan left the top floor of the Wizard Tower and went to the Study, sending a message to Lize.
Not long after, Lize arrived.
"You’re out of seclusion so quickly?"
As soon as she saw Su Nan, Lize exclaimed in surprise.
Su Nan had informed her some time ago that he was entering seclusion to break through, and she had anticipated it would take several decades or even centuries. She didn’t expect him to emerge so quickly.
"Have you broken through to Level 3 Crystallization?"
"That's right."
Seeing Su Nan nod with a smile, Lize couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Su Nan's rate of improvement was as rapid as ever.
For an ordinary Level 3 Wizard, it’s common to spend one or two thousand years transitioning from the Liquefaction Stage to the Crystallization Stage."
"But Su Nan had only been cultivating for less than four hundred years.
With talent as remarkable as a True Spirit Descendant, few could compare to Su Nan.
Having witnessed Su Nan's "miracle" numerous times, Lize quickly regained his composure and posed the most critical question.
"What kind of Law do you plan to comprehend?"
There was no need to conceal anything from Lize. Su Nan replied frankly, "Law of Gravity and Law of Thunder"
Lize was taken aback; he hadn’t expected Su Nan to choose the Law of Gravity, such an unconventional path.
However, considering Su Nan's talent, he felt somewhat reassured.
As for Su Nan attempting to comprehend two types of Law simultaneously, Lize wasn't particularly surprised.
Which genius didn't set high expectations for themselves?
Many True Spirit Descendants chose to comprehend two Laws when they reached the Law Power realm.
Not to mention Su Nan, who was even more extraordinary than a True Spirit Descendant.
If he hadn't chosen to pursue two Laws, Lize would have found it strange.
"Do you know of any places suitable for comprehending the Law of Gravity?" Su Nan inquired.
Lize thought for a moment and shook his head, but then added, "I can send someone to the City of All Things to gather information; such places shouldn't be difficult to find."
"Then let's do that."
Su Nan nodded and then shifted the topic, asking about recent developments.
In the past years, he had been fully immersed in cultivation and hadn't paid much attention to the outside world. After listening to Lize recount the changes that had taken place over the last three hundred years, a strange glint flashed in his eyes.
The current situation closely mirrored his memories. Aside from a few minor details, the general direction had not shifted significantly.
"Do you think this war will simply end like this?" Lize asked.
"No," Su Nan replied decisively.
In his memories, the war had lasted a full five hundred years.
Given that the situation's current development aligned with his recollections, it indicated that future events would likely not change significantly either.
The war had not concluded yet.
The true end of the war was probably still another two thousand eight hundred years away.
Lize looked at Su Nan in surprise, puzzled by the source of Su Nan's confidence in his judgment."
It was just that Su Nan's previous judgments had always been remarkably accurate, and subsequent developments had proven his foresight. So, even though Lize had reservations, he chose to believe in Su Nan as he always had.
"Oh, right."
Lize suddenly recalled something.
"Wisdom Codex sent people over, requesting that we take down one or two planes as soon as possible. They can offer the Star Alliance certain support in terms of resources."
Su Nan raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips. "It seems Wisdom Codex is starting to feel the pressure."
It was clear that Wisdom Codex was nearing its breaking point and urgently needed support from its subordinate organizations.
Given the current situation, Thousand Headed Bird was the one most likely able to free up its forces.
Therefore, Wisdom Codex was urging the Star Alliance to intensify its attacks, creating greater pressure on Black Suo Tower so that Thousand Headed Bird could gain an advantage as soon as possible.
"Wisdom Codex's representatives are still waiting for our response in Ulan City," Lize said. "What should we do?"
