Adrian felt a surge of excitement. He wondered if there might be something valuable underground. Although he had stopped moving the bell stones above, and the undiluted spirit liquid could quickly restore his spiritual energy, he wasn't the type to exploit a situation recklessly.He descended underground, using his basic Profound Grade celestial weapon to clear a path. Soon, he encountered an amazing sight: a small waterfall spirit spring was still flowing through cracks in the rocks, its persistent drips having carved out a pool beneath the mountain. Seeing this naturally formed cave dwelling, Adrian regretted the effort he had put in earlier. He had discovered a gem with minimal effort.The cave was spacious and had become smooth and rich in aura essence due to the long-term evaporation of celestial water. This aura essence was even denser than that near the spirit spring's source. For thousands, or even tens of thousands, of years, the trapped aura essence had nourished the surrou
If there was too much water, it would flood the farmlands, while too little would leave them parched. Adrian's approach was simply to regulate the water flow, ensuring a steady and consistent flow through the fields' channels. Consequently, the farmers eagerly assisted him in digging more channels. Some of them even volunteered to connect their wells.Seeing their initiative, Adrian became even more worked up and wholeheartedly addressed the issue of the waterfall. After ten days of effort, the three major mountains were completely transformed, with all rivers fully connected into one.With the aid of Adrian's magical water-pumping device, water flowed from outside the three mountains to their tops and merged with the waterfalls. The three major waterfalls then flowed into a reservoir. Once a certain volume was reached, the water was released from the reservoir. Seeing their fields covered with channels, the farmers cheered with joy. They were deeply grateful to Adrian. After all,
"Is it the law?" Adrian mumbled to himself.After all, only through the transformation of laws could celestial veins be generated, allowing them to endlessly release spiritual energy and nurturing the veins and preventing them from drying up.The Exile Realm had not yet fully replenished its law power, so it could not automatically form spiritual veins. This was the explanation Adrian came up with after much contemplation. He had a reason for this. When his spiritual power reached its peak, it turned white. This somewhat coincided with the power of faith. The power of any of the seven laws ultimately became white faith power.Suddenly, Adrian thought of a principle on Earth that might explain everything. Laws, and the various attributes of laws, were absolutely ordered and distinct. Yet, everything tended toward entropy, becoming more disordered and chaotic. This increase in entropy was spontaneous. Therefore, once celestial veins were formed, the phenomenon of law fragments transfo
It turned out there was another elder named Orice, who was at the early Nascent Soul Stage, and he worked covertly alongside Orlando. Both were Clyde’s father’s servants, and before his death, his father handed over both of their life cores to him."But after Father died, my other siblings refused to accept me," Clyde said.Celesta Rain Island was vast, spanning over a thousand miles. Although Clyde could occupy the most important island mountain, his siblings were not ordinary people and wouldn’t easily relinquish their gains. Each had occupied various celestial grounds on Celesta Rain Island, and although they outwardly obeyed him, inwardly, they defied him.The island became fragmented, both in terms of loyalty and power. Each heir had their own followers, and even with Orlando’s support, it did not mean Clyde commanded respect. Adrian had seen this clearly long ago, and unsurprisingly, this problem remained unsolved. Hence, Clyde thought of Adrian and came to seek his advice. Th
Clyde felt satisfied with this plan at first but quickly grew distressed again. He said, "Mr. Adrian, while your method is effective, it's difficult for me to overcome the influence of my siblings in just three years. They have many loyal supporters."Adrian smiled and replied, "There's another tactic you can use—mislead them. Once you have organized things among your siblings, those without a leader will be a disorganized mob. They will be a fearful bunch. Use this to your advantage by summoning everyone under the pretense of a meeting called by the island leader. They won't dare disobey. Then, it will be the time to act.“If you resort to killing hastily, you'll only push people away. Instead, use this strategy to mislead them. Have a trusted aide bring a deer into the great hall and claim it's a horse. Observe how many people stay quiet. Those who remain silent are neutral and can be won over or promoted. Those who agree are likely your allies. As for those who argue, you can make
“Oh!” Clyde exclaimed. “You’re mistaken, Mr. Adrian. From now on, this island is yours. It will no longer appear on Celesta Rain Island's sea charts. Although it has only a micro celestial vein, the spirit spring here is more than enough for your training. Plus, all the island's residents will be under your control. You can take on apprentices if you wish and even establish your own faction. Celesta Rain Island will oversee and assist you.”Clyde's offer carried a subtle threat, which Adrian clearly understood.Adrian, wary of establishing his own power, responded, “Lumia Isle only has a micro celestial vein. I’m not capable of forming a faction here. Besides, as a level-nine immortal, I lack the means to build a faction. I prefer to wander, with the sky as my blanket and the earth as my bed, fishing and training each day. That’s enough for me.” He smiled bitterly as he spoke.Seeing Adrian's genuine and straightforward demeanor, Clyde said nothing more. He pretended to be reluctant
Adrian's biggest challenge was the incomplete laws within the Exile Realm. Once law fragments formed, they would generate elements matching their attributes. For instance, with laws related to water and fire, his small world could naturally produce water, rain, and even ignite fires, accompanied by thunderstorms.However, due to the absence of earth attributes, the formation of islands and land was very slow, almost stagnant. The few islands that had formed were mostly made of sediment from when he first introduced seawater.Similarly, without enough law fragments, the corresponding attributes couldn’t be generated within the domain. This lack of attributes meant that inhabitants couldn't practice laws, and new law fragments couldn’t be produced. Once law fragments were present, they would recycle endlessly, a testament to natural power.Adrian had been troubled by this issue for a long time and even considered killing level-nine dark beasts to use their residual law fragments to fu
Over the past few days, the Exile Realm grew significantly due to the difference in time flow, expanding to about 130 miles in radius. This made it four times the size of Glimmering Island, with a very high altitude.In such a vast space, even the aura essence within the cave couldn't fully stabilize. This meant there was a substantial concentration difference: the aura essence entering the Exile Realm not only settled at the bottom but also dispersed in all directions. The aura essence didn't gather together once inside the Exile Realm and instead moved throughout the Exile Realm. Some of the flora throughout the world absorbed the aura essence well, creating areas with higher concentration, while other areas remained less dense.Adrian noticed that the aura essence in the cave was decreasing rapidly, and realized that the energy from this cave was just a drop in the bucket for the Exile Realm. To fill the entire small world, many celestial veins would be required to ensure the spac
