Chapter 834: Heart
The idea of injecting the laws into the body was far different from the natural process of forming a law body that Nascent Souls did. Instead of altering oneself to better align with the laws one has gained mastery over, it was a blind method of housing foreign energies. Without understanding there was no control, nor could there ever be a perfect integration. That said, it was also a future shortcut. The weaker owners of a Law Realm would want to study its developing laws and having those laws implanted into their body made it many times easier. If they could later gain mastery of those laws, then they would already have a headstart on incorporating them into their body of laws and any incongruity from this foreign energy would be solved.
The only problem was that this process of implanting the Law Realms energy into his body required months of constant nurturing. The adventure hed just started in the Depths was suddenly put on hold in order for him to form a connection to the Realm Heart. While here he took advantage of the chance to study the Realm Heart on the Inner World while he was immersed in the long procedure on the outside.
It was only after five months of carefully controlling his bodily functions to maintain a very specific physical state that things finally came to a finish. The actual procedure was only slightly unpleasant, and Guan Zhenyan had put him through far worse in the past. The only downside was that he had no time to rest and recover. When he was being poisoned he was tortured for a few days and then had time to recover before it happened all over again the next week. For this process with the Realm Heart he had to maintain a constantly stable state without any breaks at all. If he wasnt at least a Core Formation Cultivator that could use their Qi to satisfy all of their needs for food, water, sleep, air, and even just rest, then there was no way he could ever complete the process.
Two high level cultivators that were evenly matched could continuously battle day and night for months at a time, so simply maintaining his bodys stable condition was comparatively quite simple. The injection of the law energy caused constant changes which he had to continuously keep control of, but it was still easily accomplished. Instead, it was more of a matter of his mental state and how he had to find some sort of balance between such active focus and calm and quiet meditation. As a cultivator he long had to get accustomed to long periods of the same unchanging monotony, but most Cultivation was about getting into a sort of rhythm and then entering a truly meditative state to keep it going. For this process he had to actively monitor his own situation so it was very difficult to enter meditation.
Leaving the Law Realm he swam back towards Deep Shore.
A few days later, he was tossed a bulging sack by a shopkeeper. Then Sage nodded and stepped out of the shop to check his gains. Inside the bag he saw a pile of bluish pearls, each of them seeming to glow with a tiny mote of internal light.
So these are Spirit Pearls?
Hed read of them in the guide to the Depths and also as an obscure cultivation resource. They were essentially a super concentrated Spirit Stone with all the same uses. The quality of their energy was no better, but they had a thousand times as much contained within. They were the size of a pinky nail compared to the marble sized Spirit Stones, so not only were they smaller they held a thousand times more. If Storage Bags werent so cheap and plentiful, the much smaller size would probably be more valuable. In the Depths a Spirit Pearl was worth exactly the same as a thousand Spirit Stones since they were so common. Usually, at least. Some of the locals preferred the pearls they knew and didnt bother with Storage Treasures. They werent happy to trade for Spirit Stones so they gave out worse conversion rates. On the other hand, in the outside world, Spirit Pearls were much more rare and so they could be worth twice as much. While they didnt make a difference for cultivation, they were popularly used to power Magical Tools. It was very convenient to not have to change the batteries for a thousand times longer.
Sage had just traded in some materials from his last hunt, which he did specifically in order to gather these Spirit Pearls. Ideally, he hoped to learn their method of creation in order to seed his Inner World with them. Was there a special sort of clam he had to collect and then a certain special living condition to support them, or was their resemblance to a pearl just coincidental?
