Is that a Wisp?
chapter-870

The man smiled as he replied, "I'm currently guarding my friend from harm. This idiot was badly injured by a Heavenly Tribulation and collapsed in this area. I'm keeping his Spiritual Incarnation from getting damaged any further."

He then chuckled as he gazed at Krune, saying, "You're the last."

Krune nodded as his expression turned solemn before asking, "How do I condense my Spiritual Incarnation?"

"Hahaha!" The man soon broke into a laugh that seemed like he was crying a second later. His current expression switched between someone that died a long time ago and that of a newborn baby as he spoke, "Well, it's not a secret anyway. Every clan or organization treats them with value and follows them religiously. Then again, they fail to produce a cultivator with a Spiritual Incarnation despite that. At most, they would produce one in a generation."

"Well..." His figure resembled a stone in their eyes as his voice resounded like the tides. "That's because the laws they comprehended are at different levels when compared to what is specified in the method possessed by the respective clan or organization. In the end, it's still many times easier to condense a Spiritual Incarnation by using a method than butting heads in the dark."

"Have you seen trash cans?" The man asked while he gave a knowing smile as he looked at Krune. Seeing Krune nod in return, he continued, "That's pretty much what a Spiritual Incarnation is. Everything you have, you throw into the trashcan until its limit is reached. When it's done, you just close its lid."

Their eyelids twitched in response as they didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the analogy.

The Primal God didn't seem to mind their reactions as he started to explain, "There are three things you need to make a note of here. First, the trash can should be filled to the brim. Second, every law you've comprehended, no matter how low your comprehension is, you should dump it in that trash can. Last, you must be able to close the lid once you're done with the first two things I've mentioned."

"If you fail even on just one step, then you can say goodbye to condensing a Spiritual Incarnation ever again. Also, you can say goodbye to your cultivation since you would never progress beyond that point ever again."

"A trash can, huh." Krune muttered, mumbling to himself before he asked, "But, what would that trash can be?"

"That would be your body," The Primal God implied. "In the Godly Fusion Realm, you fuse your Godly Core with your Godly Energy and Godly Soul. In the end, you become a singular entity. In the God Foundation Realm, your body is the trashcan that you fill up to the brim with all your laws as you condense your Spiritual Incarnation. To those that just skip this step, achieving the Semi-God Realm would be their limit. Even though they're strong, they would just be stuck at the first stage. After all, their cultivation is flawed."

"With that..." He looked at everyone before continuing, "To condense your Spiritual Incarnation, all you have to do is manifest your laws and insert them into your body. It's pretty simple. There are no dedicated steps to it. Just throw them all in, and when you succeed, you'll get your Spiritual Incarnation. Everything else will happen naturally."

"Now that I mention it..." The Primal God smiled as he asked, "Do you know why condensing a Spiritual Incarnation is important?"

"Isn't it so we could become strong?" Diana frowned as she replied.

"Fighting is something people do, but it doesn't mean cultivation revolves around that," the Primal God shook his head as he replied, causing fierce gales to flow. They formed around Krune and his group before proceeding radially, destroying a large area.

The grunt of someone resounded in the area as the Primal God apologized, "Sorry, bud. Let me heal you back."

He then snapped his finger, returning the area to its pristine state as if it hadn't been destroyed in the first place.

The groaning sound soon disappeared as the Primal God continued, pausing for a dramatic effect as his body floated a meter upward. "It is a necessary step in preparation to become a God."

"Become a God?" Krune expressed his doubt. "Don't we have to create a new law for that to happen?"

"What nonsense," the Primal God laughed as he replied. "How will you create something that isn't recognized by the God Realm? Also, even if you bring a foreign law with you into the God Realm, the existing laws here would simply eradicate it. Not to mention, even if you derive something based on existing laws, it doesn't count as a new law. After all, the branch of a tree is still part of the same tree as its roots."

Seeing how they were even more confused, the Primal God pondered for a moment before trying to simplify his words. "Creating a new law isn't easy. Or to be more exact, even if you conceptualize one, the laws of the God Realm would hinder your thoughts and prevent it from getting created…unless you do it at a certain time."

The Primal God brought a finger before his mouth as he gazed at the sky, a solemn expression on his face. He then acted nonchalantly, as if everything was fine as he continued, "So basically, once you reach the Ninth Stage of the Primal God Realm, you will have to prepare yourself for the…last tribulation."

"The last tribulation…" everyone muttered that phrase.

"Yes." The Primal God smiled like a girl that just obtained her first toy. "When you face that tribulation, you will pit your Spiritual Incarnation against the Heavenly Tribulation. You will use the Heavenly Tribulation to melt all the laws forming your Spiritual Incarnation and die."

"Die…?"

"Yes, you will have to die." The Primal God nodded before clarifying what he meant. "What happens here is when all your laws are melted, they're melding with you. They condense and turn into a brand-new law by fusing everything with the tribulation power, turning the law into you and you into the law. In this manner, the laws of the God Realm accept you while you become the very law itself. After that, you would be reborn as a God. That's how a new law is created. Until that happens, any law that you might assume as a brand-new law is just a cluster of laws whose roots you are unable to identify."

'The Calamity Law is just a chaotic mixture of all laws in existence. My Balance Law is the same, having all the laws in it. So, in theory, they're both a mixture of laws and aren't entirely new laws.' Krune nodded as he thought to himself, finding out that he had learned a lot today. In fact, he had comprehended Luvile's Purple Tribulation Lightning Laws in the past. Back then, Luvile told him that he also used other laws to come up with his own Purple Tribulation Lightning Sub-Laws. Krune finally understood why.

"The Spiritual Incarnation solely exists to condense your entire existence into a new law during the last tribulation. Everything happens naturally after that. You don't have to search for mysterious techniques or the likes of secret inheritances to obtain that. Become the entirety of what you are. Let nature run its course after that." The Primal God waved his hands after he finished speaking, motioning for them to walk away.

As their minds resounded with his words, Krune and his group followed a path that probably led to the exit of the Immortal Severance Zone.

'So, I don't even need to work to create a new law. When the time comes, it would naturally happen. This is different from everything else I have witnessed till today.' Krune sighed, feeling a headache coming. He then failed to remember the image of the Primal God or even the Primal God's voice.

Though, everything the Primal God uttered remained in his head. It was an odd feeling. As Krune looked back, intending to see the figure of the Primal God, only the image of a rock pillar appeared before him.

It was as if everything he had seen before was a mirage.

"Just…what happened?" Krune muttered to himself in slight disbelief.

"This is the first time I've felt something like this," Yulian sighed as he said.

"That's someone almost at the peak of this realm." Vardin gazed at the sky as he muttered, longing for the day he would reach such heights.

"We have to move this way…?" Xula frowned after a moment. "I have…never seen this place."

"Same." Yulian had also noticed the issue at hand. "I could still recognize the place where we met the…Primal God. But this place seems different. I have no recollection of such a place."

"Have we been teleported by him to somewhere else?" Krune riled up his Godly Energy, sensing that his cultivation was still suppressed. So, that meant they were still in the Immortal Severance Zone.

"It's a possibility." Diana returned to her human form, pointing at a nearby rock pillar. "I think it would be better to climb this rock pillar and look from a high vantage point."

"Sounds like a good idea," Vardin returned to his human form, stating his willingness to volunteer. "I think it would be better for me to go alone. I can remain hidden to a fair extent."

"The Silver-Winged Mouses wouldn't have been the prey of numerous demon beast races if their stealth was that good," Xula shook her head as she said in response. "It's risky to send you alone."

"Let's move as a group, then. We can resolve any issues that crop up after that," Krune suggested, gazing at the massive rock pillar positioned a kilometer in front of him. It was so big it almost reached the clouds. He expressed his doubt as he asked, "How come no one knows of this area? That rock pillar is so massive that everyone should have known about it."

"I think this is the issue." Yulian touched a thin film, passing his hand through it as he inspected the film's effect on himself. "This is a natural formation that makes people shy away from getting close to this region. It's a very weak formation that only affects cultivators below the God Foundation Realm. But here, it's almost foolproof."

"Let's climb up the rock pillar, then." Krune nodded and led the group as they sprinted. They didn't wish to waste time dilly-dallying. After all, if they delayed and had their cultivation base stuck to the First Stage Godly Fusion Realm permanently, they would have no one to blame but themselves.

In the place they had been in until now, the Primal God sat as he smiled, asking, "Are you awake, my friend?"

A small blob formed on the ground as something ethereal condensed, slowly forming into a mouth that shouted, "Damn bastard, for how long do you plan to torment me?"

"Then, do you realize what you've done?" The Primal God spoke with an amicable face that soon morphed into an angry granny.

"I only slept with your daughter once. The two of us were into it before we even realized it. I already said I would take responsibility, didn't I?" The ethereal blob said in response, taking on a tone of immense annoyance.

"I don't care whether you take responsibility or not." The Primal God soon turned into a blade of grass that made a shrugging action as he continued, "She dumped you anyway."

"…What?! SHE DUMPED ME?!"

"Well…" The Primal God coughed. "Who do you think would wait for someone who had disappeared for a thousand years?"

"It's already been a thousand years?" the blob shouted in shock.

"No, I mean…" The Primal God scratched his cheek as he said, "I don't remember how long ago when it was still a thousand years. Even your son is stronger than you now."

"When the heck did that happen? I have a son? How long ago was he born that he has already surpassed me?" the blob groaned. "If that's the case, let me revive already. Why are you still tormenting me?"

"Eh…I forgot the reason long ago."
