Chapter 852: Skewed Sense of Money (1/2)

”The Four Sectors' Border Region is a vast canyon surrounded by steep cliffs, forming a complex labyrinth. Unless you have a route map, you're more or less likely to be lost in it. The location also makes it simple for bandits to move around, hence why it is dangerous,” Trivar explained with a smile. ”Of course, we've also come across numerous skeletons of bandits in the past that had taken a wrong path after looting merchant caravans in a hurry. Unsurprisingly, they aimlessly roamed the canyon until they eventually died.”

”If the canyon is that risky, why can't they just fly over it? If they employ demon beasts capable of flight, surely the journey would be simple, right?” Krune was confused. In the God Realm, one could only take flight at the Semi-God Stage. But that didn't mean that flying itself was impossible.

Any species with wings powerful enough to lift their bodies were able to soar through the skies. Also, it wasn't an act that depended on their cultivation realm, but on the innate strength of their muscles obtained through their races.

Hence, it made no sense why no one tried to fly above it. If they were able to look at the area from above, they would have been able to map out the entire canyon, making the journey easy. On top of that, taming the beasts to fly over it would have been easy. The Beast Tamer profession wasn't that rare after all.

”If only that was possible,” Trivar let out a helpless sigh as he said.

”At the top of the canyon grows a mysterious vine that we haven't been able to understand even to this day. That vine numbers in the billions and covers the entire region. Whenever any cultivator gets close to it, the vines would instantly latch on the cultivator and devour them whole. Most of the time, they only target those cultivators flying in midair. That's why no one has tried to cross the Four Sectors' Border Region through the air.”

”How tall are they? If we can fly at an incredibly high altitude, surely avoiding them would be possible,” Diana stated her opinion, sneaking a quick glance at Krune.

”That's not possible either.” Trivar shook his head.

”The top of the canyon is a place dominated by the Restriction Law. With that, most of the other laws are restricted there. Of course, that also includes flight. You cannot fly above a certain altitude once you enter the Four Sectors' Border Region. Even Semi-God Realm cultivators are no exception. Also, this height is well within the range of the Predominated Vines.”

”The Restriction Law.” Krune frowned, having never heard of a law that could restrict other laws. There were places where some laws were dominant. But that was only because they were used by the majority.

The fact that a law could restrict other laws despite being at the same level was a first for him as well. ”I've never heard that something like this was possible.”

”The God Realm is incredibly vast, so vast that even someone at the Primal God Realm cannot hope to explore every nook and cranny even after they expend their entire lifespan. There might be more mystical places out there like the Four Sectors' Border Region.”

Krune then felt the true scale of the God Realm as Trivar talked, realizing just how insignificant his existence was in the grand scale of things.

”Then, what is a Predominated Fruit?” Vardin asked, expressing his doubt.

”So, you must have seen that mission as well. That's posted in the Mercenary Guild of every city on our continent.” Trivar waved his hand as he explained, ”There have been cases where a Predominated Vine, once matured, produces a single fruit. If left alone, the Predominated Fruit would melt and evaporate. And when it does, it strengthens the Restriction Law in the region. But…”

Trivar trailed forth, sensing their cultivation bases as he chuckled. ”But when a cultivator in the God Foundation Realm consumes it, all their laws would be absorbed into the fruit's essence and instantly condense their Spiritual Incarnation.”

”Spiritual Incarnation!” Diana involuntarily shouted in shock.

”Yes.” Trivar nodded at her. ”Creating a Spiritual Incarnation is tremendously difficult and has to be completed when one is in the God Foundation Realm. If they fail to create it, then their cultivation would stagnate in that realm for the entirety of their lives. To avoid such a risk, most cultivators ignore it and directly head to the God Core Realm.”

”But.” His expression turned serious, almost zealous as he spoke with a tone of worship, ”A cultivator who completes their Spiritual Incarnation is almost unkillable by those at the same realm and even those at a realm higher.”

”Spiritual Incarnation.” Krune felt his heart thump all of a sudden, feeling that something in him had resonated with the term. 'So, what I was planning to do all along would form a Spiritual Incarnation?'

It gave him a clearer perspective. Instead of using the laws in their empirical form, combining them and structuring them into a collective whole would give him a far more stable power. Based on what Trivar said, that would result in a Spiritual Incarnation.

But he also realized their difficulty and why most cultivators just avoided them and proceeded to the God Core Realm. At present, Krune was only able to maintain his Balance Laws for two seconds. They were unstable. He didn't even know what he should do to proceed in order to create his Spiritual Incarnation.

”How do we create our Spiritual Incarnations?” Diana asked, slightly curious.
