Chapter 673 - 675: 669: Ice-Fire World

Rosewood Pet Evolution Research Institute.

“Where there’s life, there’s death; where there’s creation, there must be annihilation. This is the decree of the world’s laws, and the most difficult part of creating the Destruction Zone lies in the nurturing of the Power of Annihilation!”

Tracy Harvey spoke calmly, “Rumors say that the perfect fusion of the Ice-Fire Rule could overturn the heavens and earth, exterminate all beings, and destroy the world.

Yet Rainbow’s comprehension of the Ice-Fire Zone is still far from the level of the laws, merely achieving a preliminary fusion of the Ice and Fire Arcane Force types.”

At this, Tracy Harvey looked towards the bewildered Rainbow, “Without a deep understanding of the Ice-Fire Rule, you’re not qualified to wield the rudimentary Power of Annihilation. Next, in order for you to grasp the law and comprehend your own Ice-Fire aesthetic, you need to achieve Transcend Mortality!”

“Transcend Mortality?” David Jones and Rainbow blinked their eyes, both puzzled by this unfamiliar term.

Tracy Harvey glanced at David Jones, “Unlike epic creatures with strong bloodlines that become Overlords, it’s best for epic fighters to go through Transcend Mortality to ascend to legend.

Transcend Mortality means that the Trainer abandons the use of the omnipotent Arcane Force between heaven and earth, and experiences the operation of the world’s laws with a mortal physique, reaching the state where ‘seeing a mountain is still a mountain, seeing water is still water’.

Although I don’t know how you managed to train Rainbow’s psychic realm to a level that’s comparable to the Blue Spirit Realm, with her current psychic cultivation, she can certainly emulate the epic fighters in transcending mortality and sensing the world’s laws.”

“Just simply not using Arcane Force? Does Rainbow still need to train daily?”

David Jones pondered for a moment, feeling that Transcend Mortality seemed a bit too trivial!

Tracy Harvey smiled faintly, “Transcending Mortality is of course not that simple. Without reaching the required psychic realm and being unable to comprehend the world’s laws, not using Arcane Force is akin to tying one’s own hands. But there are always exceptions.”

Seeing the curiosity on the faces of David Jones and Rainbow, she continued, “Have you heard of the Great Grandmaster of Dairyuu?

“Of course, the Great Grandmaster of Dairyuu is a famous eccentric in the Pharmacy realm. In the ancient times, when only natural-born Ultra-capables dominated and anyone else could only be an ant, Master Dairyuu spent ninety years diligently studying medical classics. Then, overnight, he had an epiphany and became the only Flare VIII Alchemist who wasn’t a natural-born Fire Ultra-capable!” David Jones’ eyes showed admiration.

“Correct, but there’s something you don’t know. People all know that Master Dairyuu was without talent, but what they don’t know is that in his later years, due to a serendipitous event, he found a hundred-thousand-year-old Purple-Black Polygonatum at Mount Mudeng. After ingesting it, he experienced enlightenment as if essence was pouring into his head, and through sleeping dreams of three thousand reincarnations, he comprehended the Purple Level Spirit Realm and manipulated the rules with his will!”

At this point, Tracy Harvey’s face showed a hint of envy.

If possible, she would also like to casually find a hundred-thousand-year-old Level VIII SSS tier elixir when out gathering herbs like the Great Grandmaster of Dairyuu, and easily become a legendary fighter with a lifespan of three thousand years. (Purple-Black Polygonatum increases lifespan)

But there was no way for her, without great fortune, she could only rely on her own efforts to become a research doctor.

Tracy Harvey sighed, her peripheral vision catching a slightly stunned David Jones.

She almost forgot, her own brother is also a person of great fortune!

“Miss Tracy, do you mean that as long as the psychic realm is high enough, even an ordinary person has the potential to comprehend the Rule and become powerful?” David Jones was somewhat astounded.

It was hard to imagine that a hundred-thousand-year-old Purple-Black Polygonatum did not have accompanying Mesona plants or an Emperor Guardian; it let Great Grandmaster Dairyuu successful snatch it away, such fortune was truly shocking.

“If you understand, that’s good. Inside the institute, there is an Ice-Fire World where I usually comprehend the rules for my cultivation.

Before the project review is approved, Rainbow needs to spend at least six hours in the Ice-Fire World every day, carefully experiencing the laws with her flesh and psychic realm.”

David Jones quickly nodded, “No problem, how much is the cost in Star coin?”

For places like the artificial Ice-Fire World for comprehending rules, he had long heard about it. Even ordinary epic fighters would have to pay a considerable price to enter.

“There’s no need for Star coins; this is a necessary expense for project research!” Tracy Harvey said, pausing slightly.

“Right, the salary for a research assistant is relatively modest, but the benefits are substantial. Every month, you’ll have a certain quota of Pet Resources you can apply for, but it’d be best not to ask for anything above Level VII.”

“Understood,” David Jones replied.

With Miss Tracy leading the way, he arrived in a fantastical world where ice and fire existed in harmony.

Raging lava and boiling fumes continuously rose from the earth, the temperature was terrifyingly high.

However, beneath the cliffs of molten lava, a lake of ice clear as a mirror also emanated a coldness rivaling that of absolute zero.

Tracy Harvey turned to Rainbow, whose eyes were shining, and said, “Shall we go in and try?”

Upon hearing this, Rainbow turned to look at David Jones.

“Go ahead.”

Given permission, Rainbow scurried off toward the lake of ice with the joy of a frolicking husky, in an awkward manner.

David stood still, activating his Illusion-Piercing Eyes to watch Rainbow play in the lake.

At this moment, without any deliberate use of Arcane Force by Rainbow, threads of undetectable Ice arcane force spontaneously surrounded its body, lingering for an extended time.

During this process, slight changes occurred within Rainbow’s internal Arcane Force, changes so minute yet undeniable to someone with the Illusion-Piercing Eye like David Jones.

Apart from David, Tracy Harvey, who was comprehending the Rules, also noticed this anomaly. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Rainbow, her face showing surprise and delight.

“To conceal energy within oneself is to comprehend the Rules. What a terrifying Frost Wyvern!”

If not for the Dragon race’s inability to undergo Nirvana and reincarnation like the Phoenix race, with such an astounding sense of comprehension, she might have genuinely suspected Rainbow was a reincarnated Emperor True Dragon!

The higher Rainbow’s Talent, the better, after all, how could a Flood Dragon of insufficiently monstrous talent possibly complete the unprecedented Evolution of the Gluttonous Beast into a Destruction Tyrant Dragon!

“I still need to go back to the laboratory to ponder the specific steps for the research on Evolution.”

Before leaving, Tracy Harvey specifically added, “Your Psychic Realm is not as advanced as Rainbow’s—it’s best not to waste time on comprehending the Rules.”

Upon hearing this, David nodded outwardly, but internally he disagreed.

With the Seven Rites Bodhi Tree, his efficiency in comprehending the Rules would certainly not be lower than Rainbow’s. However, as the Bodhi tree was still in its growth phase and to avoid impacting its development, David decided to focus his energies on cultivating the Gluttonous Beast and Loona for the time being, leaving the chance to achieve the Enlightenment of Seven Righteous to Rainbow.

“Buzz, buzz!” The phone’s notification sounded.

David checked the message on his phone and discovered that Rosalind was planning to journey to Rosewood City to find him, most likely to discuss matters related to the Demise Relic.

Since the Waterland Trainer Guild had also noticed something amiss, she would likely arrive a few days later.

“Do I really have to refuse in person?” David rubbed his forehead, feeling somewhat troubled.

To be honest, he had no interest whatsoever in delving into the murky waters of the Demise Relic.
