Chapter 974: Chapter 974: Law Ghost God

Since he couldn’t leave, Lin Shen devoted himself to understanding all kinds of knowledge on Celestial Court, realizing that the more he knew about Celestial Court, the more help it would be to him in the future.

Lin Shen suddenly discovered a problem with his Evolution Theory. Although it had been modified by himself and fit his situation perfectly,

the effectiveness of Evolution Theory could only reach Nirvana Level.

Originally, Lin Shen thought that reaching Nirvana Level with Evolution Theory should be sufficient, considering that advancing to Immortal Level depended on the comprehension of Immortal Laws, which wasn’t closely related to Evolution Skill anymore.

But in reality, that was not the case. After studying Divine Being Techniques, Lin Shen realized that Immortal Level still required cultivation.

Immortals from Ancient Realm didn’t need to cultivate, which was because they had no subsequent Cultivation Techniques and believed that Immortal Level was the pinnacle.

However, for Divine Beings, Immortal Level was just a beginning.

Lower Divine Beings could elevate their Rank by cultivating Divine Skills.

An Earth-tier Divine Being could ascend to Heaven Rank or even rise to become a Middle or Upper Divine Being through the cultivation of various Cultivation Techniques.

In fact, it was similar to Human Law Immortals advancing to Earth Law and Heaven Law. It’s just that those of the Ancient Realm had mostly relied on their own Comprehension, forcefully enlightened themselves to advance.

In contrast, Divine Beings only needed to cultivate the corresponding Divine Skill to reach the Heavenly Law Realm.

On this point, Lin Shen felt that Immortals from the Ancient Realm were actually stronger than some Divine Beings.

Sadly, the peak in Ancient Realm was only at Immortal Level, which limited their potential, but that didn’t mean people from there were inferior to Divine Beings.

Someone like Wei, who was a Dual Dharma King with the abilities of Tianshu, was probably very rare among Divine Beings.

Moreover, Divine Beings didn’t distinguish between Past Law, Reality Law, and Future Law, because they hardly needed to comprehend these on their own. The laws derived from cultivating Divine Skills were almost entirely Past Law, with few cases of self-enlightened Reality Law or Future Law. This realization made Lin Shen more convinced that the people of the Ancient Realm were not inferior in abilities or intelligence; they just started at a lower level.

From the information Lin Shen could access, typical Divine Skills could only allow Lower Divine Beings to cultivate to Heaven Rank; advancing beyond required becoming a Middle Divine Being.

Only a few Divine Skills had the potential to allow Divine Beings to progress further from the base of Heaven Rank without advancing to Middle Divine Being, but such occurrences were merely possible, not guaranteed for everyone.

The most famous of these were the Nine Great Divine Skills, among which Lin Shen already possessed the Sun-shooting Great Method and the Sun-Chasing Great Method.

Duo was from the Sun-Chasing Clan, and he cultivated the “Sun-Chasing Great Method,” which he likely could access due to his betrothal to the Yitian Clan.

Regardless, with two of the Celestial Court’s Nine Great Divine Skills now in Lin Shen’s hands, he naturally wanted to observe and practice them.

His Comprehension was only average, and comprehending laws by himself was extremely difficult. Since there was a shortcut and a path others had trodden, why not take it?

Lin Shen found a place where he was unlikely to be surveilled, then took out both the Sun-Chasing Great Method and Sun-shooting Great Method to study and compare them.

He was self-aware, and based on his past experiences, mastering such Top Divine Skills was nearly impossible. However, he could use them as references, which might enable him to develop further parts of Evolution Theory.

Lin Shen perused the two Divine Skills while pondering the general logic and principles they discussed.

These two Divine Skills appeared very profound and complex, but simply, the Sun-Chasing Great Method was a cultivation method for Time Law.

This involved two factions of laws, something Lin Shen had considered when he saw only two killed by Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill.

One faction is based on rules, and the other on Ghost Gods.

The people of Ancient Realm mostly comprehend the rules faction, while Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill belongs to the Ghost God Faction.

All Divine Skills cultivated by Divine Beings are essentially derived from the Ghost God Faction.

From the perspective of the Ghost God Faction, all rules are controlled by corresponding Ghost Gods.

To put it plainly, lightning has its Lady of Lightning, and thunder has its Lord of Thunder; these Laws are the powers of Ghost Gods themselves.

Hence, the first step in a Divine Being’s Divine Skill is to sense the existence of Ghost Gods.

Since Divine Beings are born Immortal, they can easily sense the corresponding Law Ghost Gods and absorb their power to strengthen themselves.

The Sun-Chasing Great Method is actually the Time Law, according to the book, the Law Ghost God corresponding to the Sun-Chasing Great Method is the God of Time.

The God of Time resides in the river of time. Upper Divine Beings who cultivate the Sun-Chasing Great Method, if they can sense the existence of the river of time and harness its power, can then be considered to have entered the threshold.

To truly perceive the existence of the God of Time and obtain its power is not something ordinary Lower Divine Beings can achieve.

But it’s not absolute either. It’s mentioned in the Sun-Chasing Great Method that the Ancestor of the Kuafu Clan, even at the stage of Lower Divine Being or earlier, was already capable of directly communicating with the God of Time.

Lin Shen only looked at the parts of the Divine Skill relevant for Lower Divine Beings; the content that followed was even more mystical and not immediately useful for his current situation.

The state of affairs with the Sun-shooting Great Method was similar, except the Sun-shooting Great Method isn’t related to the Time Series of Laws. Lin Shen didn’t know which series it belonged to; the book didn’t specify, only stating that to cultivate the Sun-shooting Great Method, one must sense the presence of the sun to even be considered to have entered the threshold.

Being able to sense the sun is just the beginning. When one can perceive the existence of ten suns shining together in the sky, that’s considered stepping into the real threshold.

If one could sense a bow or an arrow, that would signify an extraordinary talent, comparable to perceiving the existence of the Ghost God of Time.

Lin Shen read on both Divine Skills’ methods for strengthening communication with Ghost Gods, which was exactly what he needed.

He couldn’t comprehend ordinary laws, but these techniques for communicating with Ghost Gods sounded somewhat interesting. Without needing exceptional Comprehension, perhaps they really might work.

Lin Shen memorized the content of both books; even if he couldn’t cultivate them himself, he could later provide them to Wei and the others for cultivation.

Of course, before that, Lin Shen still wanted to try for himself.

The first step in the cultivation method for both skills was quite similar–entering a Meditative State and then visualizing the forms of Ghost Gods.

However, the Sun-Chasing Great Method requires visualization of the God of Time or the river of time, while the Sun-shooting Great Method demands visualization of the sun or a bow and arrow.

Lin Shen pondered; he hadn’t seen the God of Time or knew what the river of time looked like, making visualization difficult.

The sun, a bow, and an arrow are familiar to him, so visualizing these should be relatively easier.
