"Contained in its hilt is a Law in its purest form. Do you know what that ans?" the man with the crown asked with a tone that implied that there was more to it than initially thought.
"Not really," Krune shrugged as he replied. "Even if it was sothing amazing, it's not mine. In short, I don't really care."
Well, that was just how he was. Throughout his journey, he had co across nurous treasures at the peak of the realm he was in. However, if he said he would go back on his word for sothing like that, then he would be lying.
Krune wasn't soone like that. That's why even if the Law in the hilt was sothing amazing and was a peerless treasure even sought by beings at the peak, he couldn't care less. It wasn't his, so he didn't even have an ounce of greed towards it.
Maybe if it was free ga, then Krune might have snatched it before others could have. Well, that was the only ti he would do sothing like that.
Besides, his Spiritual Incarnation consisted of all the laws in existence in the God Realm. So, the Law in the hilt would most probably be in him as well. As long as he comprehended it later, he would eventually obtain the sa effect.
Seeing Krune's lackadaisical expression, the man with the crown broke into a fit of laughter before saying, "You're an interesting lad. I don't have an ounce of desire towards it if that's what you're thinking."
"Then, what is it exactly?" Krune frowned as he asked, thinking that the man with the crown was sowhat annoying
"Do you know that a Law is the essence of a concept that exists? Also, did you know it can fade between the state of ethereal and corporeal?" the man with the crown asked. He then noticed Krune's confusion soon after, shaking his head as he continued to explain, "Suppose you consider the Law of Fire. In its empirical form, it looks like a reddish-orange ribbon. You won't feel anything when you touch it. After all, you can't physically interact with a law when it's in such a state. But, when it activates, it manifests itself into a celestial body…"
"…the sun," Krune finished the man's sentence. His eyes widened in surprise as he felt that his horizons were broadened.
"So you know of the sun, huh?" The man with the crown nodded as he asked, "I'm surprised you know of sothing that doesn't exist in the Zamuria Continent. Are you from a different continent, perhaps?"
One must rember that the God Realm didn't have a sun, only...the exit.
"I'm from…sowhere far away." Krune made sure to look as natural as possible before asking, "How did the sun you saw look like?"
"It's a massive ball of fire. Then again, the one I saw wasn't a real sun. It was made up of the laws of fire, gravity, light, earth, and so on." The man with the crown then smiled as he said, "So, what I'm trying to say is that the Law in that hilt is in its empirical form. It's ethereal in nature. Well, there's one good thing about it when it's in such a form."
His smile deepened as he said, "After you unleash your Spiritual Incarnation, you can integrate this Law in your body and obtain a massive boost in power and even derive new abilities. It's the best shortcut you can obtain to beco strong."
"Foolish." Krune shook his head, knowing that it wasn't a wise decision, sothing even he, with his limited understanding, could guess. "Without any comprehension of the Law, taking it in your Spiritual Incarnation is tantamount to suicide. It would just end up devouring your Laws and severely cripple you."
"That's true, but..." the man with the crown smiled as he replied. "It's not as if you need to take it this instant. You can comprehend it a bit before fusing it into yourself."
"Hmm..." After a mont of thought, Krune fished out the sword from his storage ring and threw it to the man with the crown, saying, "See if you can sense it."
The man with the crown was left aghast as he caught the sword. They had just t. And, until now, he had actually been chasing after Krune. The fact that Krune handed such a priceless item over without any hesitation, not to ntion the fact he did so without any pressure, made the man with the crown feel like it was harder to perceive Krune's true character.
He let out a sigh soon after before looking into the sword using his senses, frowning when he was unable to sense anything. All he knew was the fact that there existed a Law in the hilt of the sword. Well, that was all thanks to his Spiritual Incarnation. However, he was unable to sense anything other than that.
The man with the crown looked at Krune and asked, "Can I try and awaken its equipnt spirit?"
"Sure, go ahead," Krune nodded as he answered the man's question. "It's the reason why I was given the sword in the first place."
The man with the crown expressed his gratitude as he covered the sword with his Godly Energy. Krune noticed how his Godly Energy had a unique signature of its own. It was just like Tina's Godly Energy, a form of energy unique to the individual.
'So, one way or another, their Spiritual Incarnations affect their Godly Energy and shape it into sothing according to the laws in them.' Krune had finally understood. It was as if every Spiritual Incarnation was a circuit, while the Godly Energy was a canvas that flowed through the circuit, being molded and shaped based on every Law that existed in the circuit, resulting in a finished canvas that was unique to the individual.
He realized that even if two people possessed the sa laws and had comprehended them to the sa extent, their respective Godly Energy would be different. It was because the laws in their Spiritual Incarnations were arranged in different orders. Not to ntion that there existed a subtle difference between the Godly Energy of normal cultivators.
Therefore, it was no surprise that the Godly Energy of two parties would clash with one another. If not for this fact, cultivators would have been able to absorb Godly Energy from other cultivators and not depend on God Stones or the Godly Energy in nature for cultivation. The world would have beco an even more vicious place if that was the case.
The man's Godly Energy seeped into the sword as it unleashed nurous effects, forcefully infusing them into it. Krune noticed that the way they approached the issue was different.
For Krune, he used his Calamity Laws to unleash nurous conditions that the equipnt absorbed naturally based on what it desired. All he did was blindly vary all the conditions and wait until the equipnt absorbed enough to awaken.
On the other hand, the man with the crown forced those changes into the equipnt and tried to brute force his way through.
"Wouldn't the equipnt spirit die if you use this thod?" Krune was unable to endure without speaking out his thoughts.
"It might seem like I'm forcing the conditions onto the equipnt, but in actuality, I'm giving it better conditions than what it would have chosen on its own," the man with the crown smiled as he replied. "The equipnt instinctively absorbs any conditions suitable to it. But, through this thod, the conditions are in a jumbled manner. Even though this process eventually creates an equipnt spirit, the resulting equipnt spirit wouldn't be as strong as mine."
He laughed as he continued, "What I'm doing here is giving conditions to it in a certain order that would birth the strongest equipnt spirit that can be housed in this equipnt. This way, its growth potential would reach its maximum."
"There's such a thing?" Krune was surprised.
"Yes." The man with the crown nodded as he said, "The Spirit Awakener Guild in Zamuria Continent isn't advanced enough yet to figure out this fact. But then again, it's not as if the Spirit Awakener Guilds in other continents are better either. So of them have figured this out but are unable to implent it practically."
He smirked as he added, "After all, most people thank the heavens upon being able to awaken an equipnt spirit. However, their success rate would be near non-existent if they tried to awaken the strongest equipnt spirit for a piece of equipnt. No one can afford to spend so much ti and energy on sothing that might not be worth the effort."
"Then, why are you doing it…?" Krune paused as he noticed the blade birth an equipnt spirit. This ti though, it didn't die imdiately.
The hilt emitted the green radiance once again in an effort to annihilate it. But this ti, the equipnt spirit was actually able to resist the radiance. Then again, it didn't seem like it could last for long at this rate since the green radiance was slowly but surely damaging it.
The man with the crown smirked with an arrogant expression as his Godly Energy seeped into the equipnt spirit, easily healing it from the damage. With their combined efforts, they resisted the green radiance emitted from the hilt.
After so ti passed in such a manner, the man with the crown sighed as he retracted his Godly Energy, watching the equipnt spirit wail in despair as it was slowly destroyed by the green radiance. With that, he soon muttered, "This doesn't seem that simple."
"Indeed." Krune nodded, catching the sword that was thrown back at him. "I tried to awaken it many tis, but all the equipnt spirits were destroyed by the green radiance."
He then looked with confusion as he asked, "Why didn't you try to awaken the hilt? The problem stems from it, right?"
"I would need to research over it," the man with the crown smiled as he responded. "Without that, I cannot have any hope of success. There's sothing about the hilt that's causing the blade to awaken a spirit within a couple of minutes. Normally, the process isn't this fast. A normal cultivator takes between one to three years to awaken an equipnt spirit."
"Alright, I'm becoming more and more interested in this sword." The man with the crown took out a certain device from his storage ring and infused his Godly Energy into it.
Krune noticed how the device looked familiar, prompting him to ask, "What…is this device?"
"Oh, this?" The man with the crown pointed at the device as he replied, "I took it from so guards belonging to the Spirit Awakener Guild. I'm using this to contact their guild right now."
"…"
