Dual Cultivation With My Yandere Disciples

Chapter 152: Levels of Marks! Mu Xuanyin’s Gifts!

"Not every Law Mark is the same. Just like magic weapons and even pills, they are divided into different grades."

As she spoke, Mu Xuanyin gently raised the pattern in her hand.

Immediately, its intricate structure became visible.

It was composed of countless tiny flames woven together with flawless precision, each one connected to the next as though they had always been part of a single whole.

Every strand complemented another, forming an unimaginably profound pattern.

The moment Chen Xuan looked at it, his vision blurred.

His Nascent Soul trembled violently, and for an instant, it felt as though his soul itself would be swallowed by the tiny mark.

Yet he didn’t avert his gaze.

Instead, he clenched his teeth and endured the pressure, forcing himself to memorize every detail of the so-called Law Mark.

Even if he couldn’t understand it now, engraving it into his memory would certainly benefit him in the future.

"This is the most basic Law Mark."

"It is formed from the Fire Law, one of the most fundamental Laws of heaven and earth. Naturally, it is also among the most common."

"I call this a Mortal Law Mark."

"Although it is enough to allow a cultivator to enter the Soul Formation Realm, their combat strength and future potential will be rather ordinary."

As soon as those words fell, nearly half of the fiery patterns dispersed.

In their place appeared azure-blue lines.

They intertwined with the remaining flames, perfectly filling the missing sections until a brand-new pattern was formed.

The two colors no longer looked separate. They perfectly complemented each other, giving birth to something entirely new.

The aura emitted by the Law Mark instantly became several times more profound.

"This is what I like to call a Two Elements Law Mark."

"It is created by combining the Laws of Fire and Water. It belongs to the Spirit Grade."

"Although it may appear to be nothing more than two ordinary Law Marks fused together, that is a misconception."

"What you are looking at is no longer the Fire Law nor the Water Law."

"It is an entirely new Law Mark. Naturally, its power is far beyond the sum of its individual parts."

After finishing her explanation, Mu Xuanyin continued her demonstration.

Another Law was added. The Spirit Law Mark transformed once more.

"This is the Three Elements Law Mark. I classify it as Earth Grade."

Moments later, a fourth Law was integrated.

The resulting Law Mark radiated such terrifying pressure that even looking directly at it became difficult.

"This is... a Heaven Law Mark."

Finally, Mu Xuanyin waved her hands for one final time.

This time, however, her expression became much more serious.

Another Law slowly descended toward the Heaven Law Mark.

The two approached each other and looked ready to integrate, only to suddenly go berserk.

Bang!

The Law Mark shattered.

Mu Xuanyin quietly sighed.

"There are rumors that above Heaven Law Marks exist the legendary Immortal Law Marks."

"Unfortunately, I have never personally seen one."

"It seems Heaven Law Marks are already the limit attainable within the Mortal World."

"Perhaps only after ascending to the Immortal World can one truly condense an Immortal Law Mark."

A trace of regret flashed across her face.

For powerful cultivators like her, there was nothing more tempting than the prospect of becoming even stronger.

Immortal Law Marks—as Mu Xuanyin called them—were an irresistible temptation.

Unfortunately, even someone as powerful as Mu Xuanyin had never managed to witness one.

Silence filled the hall for several moments as Chen Xuan digested everything he had just learned.

Deep inside, he couldn’t help but feel fortunate.

If he had never obtained the Seven Trials Tower—or if Mu Xuanyin hadn’t left behind this recording—he would never have known such secrets.

Most likely, he would have comprehended the Fire Spirit Origin immediately, condensed an ordinary Spirit Law Mark, and unknowingly limited both his future potential and his ultimate strength.

The thought alone sent a chill through him. For a brief moment, he even had the urge to curse the System.

Could it have deliberately rewarded him with the Fire Spirit Origin to trick him into taking the wrong path?

Although he knew the possibility was practically nonexistent, he instinctively shifted the blame onto it anyway.

Naturally, Mu Xuanyin’s phantom had no idea what he was thinking.

After giving him enough time to process everything, the regret on her face gradually disappeared. A faint smile replaced it.

She turned and pointed toward the furnace behind her.

"Didn’t I tell you that the Law Furnace is directly related to Laws?"

"Its function is actually quite simple."

"Using treasures infused with traces of Laws as materials, it can refine them back into their purest Law Essence."

"That essence can then be directly absorbed. There are no hidden flaws, nor will it damage your foundation."

In theory, as long as you possess enough suitable materials, condensing a Heaven Law Mark or even an Immortal one is possible."

"Of course, this is nearly impossible." Mu Xuanyin shook her head.

"Law-infused treasures are not very rare. However, finding those that are compatible with your Laws is the difficult part."

"Throughout my entire journey, I only managed to collect a small number."

"I’ve left them all inside the Law Furnace. As for whether you will use them or not, it is up to you."

Mu Xuanyin waved her sleeve one final time.

A trace of intelligence—one that Chen Xuan failed to capture—seemed to flash across her eyes.

Then...

Bang! The phantom exploded into fragments before fading into nothingness.

Silence once again enveloped the second floor.

It was as though everything that had just happened had been nothing more than a dream.

Naturally, Chen Xuan knew better.

Staring at the Law Furnace, he recalled his Master’s reminder and slowly walked toward it.

Soon, he arrived before the furnace and lowered his head.

Inside lay countless treasures. With a wave of his sleeve, they all flew into the air.

There were thousands of them.

Grasses, ores, crystals, beast bones, tree branches, and countless other materials, each emitting a faint yet unmistakable aura of Law.

Chen Xuan couldn’t help raising an eyebrow.

It seemed Mu Xuanyin had been rather modest when she claimed to have collected "only a small number."

At the very least, no Soul Formation or even Soul Transformation expert had the ability to gather so many.

Although he had no way of judging the precise value of each material, one thing was certain: his Master’s gifts were as precious as always.

’You old hag, it seems you still have a bit of a conscience after all.’

Don’t worry. When I grow powerful enough, I will spare your life once,’ he muttered inwardly, though the emotional look in his eyes said otherwise.

Suppressing those distracting thoughts, Chen Xuan refocused his attention on the Law Furnace.

He was naturally eager to witness its effects firsthand.

Without further hesitation, he selected one of the materials—a blade of spiritual grass shimmering with the brilliance of countless stars—and casually tossed it into the furnace.

Then, he watched as a flame emerged out of nowhere and slowly enveloped it.
