Chapter 271: Can Heavenly Laws Be Gifted?

Ye Chen slipped into an empty courtyard in the Wang residence, casually activating its wards and sitting cross-legged. His blood-spitting wasn’t faked. His pallor, his withered aura—none of it was an act. For a Golden Core cultivator, the core was their foundation. Severing it forcibly was catastrophic.

Yet, despite the toll, Ye Chen’s smile never faded. In his mind, the system’s voice echoed relentlessly.

“Congratulations, Host! Gift successful!”

“Gifted: Five-Colored Law Core!”

“Five-hundredfold feedback in progress…”

“Detected: The gifted item is of extreme importance to the recipient, triggering intense emotional resonance…”

“Critical reward activated!”

“Reward: Chaos Core!”

“Chaos Core: Born of primordial chaos, it allows effortless comprehension, refinement, and fusion of all heavenly laws without limit.”

“Detected: Host’s dantian is vacant. Chaos Core has been directly placed within.”

Critical hit!

Ye Chen could clearly see it—a misty, gray orb shrouded in endless fog now rested in his once-empty dantian. His depleted aura, ravaged by the loss of his five-colored core, surged back, climbing rapidly. His leaking vital essence reversed, restoring at breakneck speed.

As he bonded with the Chaos Core, its terrifying potential dawned on him. Ordinary Great Ascension cultivators, even prodigies, might grasp two or three heavenly laws, but could only house one. A five-colored core aligned with five laws, a nine-colored one with nine—the more laws fused before ascension, the stronger the resulting True Immortal.

His Chaos Core? It aligned with all laws and could contain them without limit. Given time, he could comprehend and fuse every heavenly law into himself. The Chaotic Ancient True Immortal, with seven laws, dominated True Immortals. What would Ye Chen, with boundless laws, achieve upon ascending?

A wild thought struck him: Can I gift heavenly laws? If he could master a law and gift it, he could propel every woman around him to immortality, reaping endless feedback. That’s the ticket to becoming the strongest True Immortal in history, bar none.

He was only Golden Core now, far from the Great Ascension Realm, so the idea was just a fleeting fantasy. Shaking it off, he focused on cultivating, deepening his bond with the Chaos Core. His aura, already restored to its pre-gift peak, kept soaring.

As dawn broke, the first rays painting the sky, the transformation finally settled.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

…

The Chaos Core’s benefits extended far beyond paving the way to immortality. Even now, it amplified Ye Chen’s strength exponentially. He could feel his already monstrous power surging at least tenfold. The core’s terror was beyond comprehension—he couldn’t even gauge his own limits anymore.

Glancing toward his courtyard, Ye Chen mentally tipped his hat to the little demoness and the old granny. Su Yuxuan, true to her demonic nature, always conjured bizarre gifting opportunities. And Manjusaka, despite her man-hating streak and eight-thousand-year-old verbal punches, delivered a five-hundredfold base reward plus a critical hit. Absolute clutch.

He toyed with the idea of helping Manjusaka restore her physical body. As a soul, she already triggered a five-hundredfold return—imagine the multiplier with a flesh-and-blood form. It could skyrocket. He’d have to chat with her later, see if she’d stick with him.
