Chapter 947: Token (1/2)

Gravis had finished comprehending the level three Body Battle Laws. They weren't of much use, but they at least gave him a basis for the more powerful ones.

One had to remember that the level three Laws were tailored for Cultivators in a middle world. As soon as someone became an Immortal, the level three Laws became weaker in relation to the higher power, and this weakness only further solidified when one became an Immortal King.

Now, it was time for the level four variants of these Laws.

Gravis went further into the beast territory since the more valuable Laws were more likely to be there. After asking around for a bit, Gravis got some directions under the confused eyes of the beasts.

Why did that Black Demon ask for the way?

Shouldn't his Wave Leader have told him where to find one?

After teleporting around for a bit, Gravis arrived at the Law Comprehension Area for the Major Law of Strength, a level four Law.

Just like the previous Law Comprehension Areas, this one also wasn't very impressive or anything. It was simply a big clearing with two beasts in it.

”Do you have a token?” someone asked from below Gravis.

Gravis looked down and saw a lion resting near the edge of the clearing. This lion was in the Late Minor Circulation Immortal King Realm.

'Just as I've thought,' Gravis thought. 'The level four Laws are under strict supervision, and comprehending them isn't free.'

Gravis pulled one of his scales out and retrieved a small, black object.

This was Narcissus' token.

Gravis threw it over to the lion. ”Here,” he said.

The lion caught the token and looked at it for a bit. Slowly, his brows furrowed.

He couldn't understand this token.

Usually, a lot of information was stored in these tokens, which were created out of the body parts of the Wave Leaders. By feeling their aura and looking at them, a guard would be able to see which Wave Leader had granted access to this Law Comprehension Area.

The intensity of the aura told the guard how long the beast would be allowed to stay here.

If a Wave Leader wanted to give someone a lot of access to Law Comprehension Areas, they would have to cut off their Realm alongside their body part. This was the same method of cutting one's body parts off as Gravis had used when he had purchased his Law Comprehension Life Fruits for the level five Law of Magma.

In short, their Realm might even drop.

Because of that, granting beasts access to Law Comprehension Areas could even come at a cost to the Wave Leader.

A Peak Immortal King Wave Leader could grant indefinite access to a level four Law Comprehension Area without much problem. After all, with their power, it wasn't hard to create a token with the relevant power. They wouldn't even need to cut off part of their Realm.

However, when it came to level five Laws, everything was different.

Different levels of Law Comprehension Areas required different levels of power. A Peak Immortal King Wave Leader would have to reduce their Realm by a bit to grant access to a level five Law Comprehension Area to someone else.

Usually, it wasn't hard for a guard to check how much access a token could grant someone.

They only had to infuse their own aura into the token. This would result in the destruction of the previous owner's will, essentially making the token useless after that.

However, there were standards that the guards had to follow.

According to which Law Comprehension Area they were defending, the guards were required to attack the will of the token with corresponding intensity.

A level four Law, for example, wouldn't require a Late Minor Circulation Immortal King to attack the token with their full power.

No, they would only put a part of their will into the token. The two wills would cancel each other out to a certain degree, but depending on the power of the token, the will wouldn't completely vanish.

Explaining this concept would be easier with a comparison. Imagine there was a fire, and one bucket of water would extinguish the fire perfectly. The fire represented the token, while the water represented how much force it would take to destroy the token.

One could say that being given unlimited time in a level four Law Comprehension Area would require a token that was able to cancel out one bucket of water. If the infused will of the guard perfectly canceled out the will in the token, it would mean that one could stay here until one fully understood the Law in that case.
