Chapter 1048: Body

After the orange flames spread outward and touched upon everyone he could easily sense, then he spread his Spirit Sense out to its full strength and gave the area a thorough sweep. A few others had hidden themselves well and he also noted a few blank spots, each of them also got a wave of orange flame over them. If there was still anyone hed missed, then theyd avoided his opportunity and had a bit of news instead. It wasnt ideal, but there was only so much he could do.

With everyone in the area incapacitated, the strange tree suddenly rippled and Sages human form appeared in its place. He was in his most familiar form with long dark hair and golden eyes, robes formed by the belt around his waist. Being able to rapidly replace his destroyed clothing was convenient even if it wasnt necessary for him any more. With the Inner World, he could have whole warehouses of clothing ready for himself to wear. The Wardrobe Spider had actually become something of a standard item for the Lang Clan as their powerful bodies meant their clothing was destroyed often and they looked more dignified if they didnt have to pause to change. He tilted his head to either side, and rolled his shoulders around. Kicking lightly with each of his legs and shaking his hands. After advancing in rank, this was his first time in human form and was worried he would be disoriented. Contrary to his worries, he could manipulate his body just as easily as he always could. At least until he tried to move.

With the first step he tried to take he was shot forward, losing his balance and nearly smashing his face into the ground. The impact didnt happen, as his reflexes had also improved and he was able to slap the ground and send himself flipping sideways. The force sending him downwards was redirected and he spun through the air before catching himself in a kneeling position. He took things a little more slowly this time, like a person stepping onto ice they knew was there, rather than the man who was clueless and flipped instantly. Once he was prepared for the increase in power, he carefully managed the force of his steps to keep from losing his balance.

By the time hed returned to Stormport City, hed gotten used to the changes and made his way over to Bear Threes home. No one stopped him on his way back to the courtyard hed been using for the last few years and nobody came to bother him either. As before, a set of servants brought food to the room at regular intervals, taking away the dishes or uneaten food at the same time. Other than that, the place was undisturbed. The Formation Arrays that protected the courtyard style building were also able to take care of dust, and fallen leaves, leaving the place spotless just like the rest of the buildings in Bear Threes house. It was common for one large wall to surround many smaller buildings, incorporating them all into a single defensive formation. Instead of guest rooms, they had many guest houses. The value of mortal labor and mortal materials were basically nothing for powerful Cultivators so it was extremely common to have such immensely large and elaborate homes. Even a fourth rank Cultivator could easily afford such extravagant palace-like abodes. It was also possible for a relatively common third rank Cultivator if they focused on earning money instead of advancing.

There was now another difference between his two bodies. Before, only the Heavenly Materials were different and he could train everything else on the Inner World before using it on the outside. Unfortunately, he now confirmed that his interaction with laws had also changed. He had assumed the changes to his body would create a difference in physical strength, reaction time, or flexibility. That was not the case at all. Both of his bodies had the same purely physical capabilities, even though the one on the Inner World had experienced a much lower density of that special energy from the tribulation.

In hindsight, the actual change made perfect sense. Every action he took now carried the power of law. It was no longer just him resonating with the laws in the world around him. He now carried that power inside him and every action he took not only resonated with the power around him, but was also released by his body. Even without any effort, his law radiated from him.

No wonder I didnt stand a chance against that guy.

On the plus side, the difference was only in severity. Thankfully, he could still practice with this new law body on the Inner World, it was just less potent. He was guessing that the law body was probably the major power boost for a seventh rank cultivator. Certainly, his physical body and Qi had become more powerful, but it was only increased a few times more. Each previous rank increase was easily a five times boost, and the legends spoke of Immortals as impossibly powerful. Hed also experienced how overwhelmingly strong the Sea King of Chain Ocean Palace was. Casual attacks from him easily overwhelmed Sage at the time. While Sage was trying to hide his identity and not show off his strongest abilities, it didnt reduce his base strength. He was still slowly overwhelming a sixth rank cultivator using a defensive formation before the Sea King showed up. The Sea King didnt instantly disperse the move Sage took a long time setting up, but he still beat it and tore through all of Sages defensive moves while he was on the run. Sage had no idea how long the Sea King had been in the seventh rank, but he was going to have to learn how to deal with him one way or another.
