Ascension of The Unholy Immortal-Chapter 360: Law Boundary
Crossing the threshold of the Trinity Palace, a surge of energy washed over Liang, enveloping him in an unfamiliar sensation. His surroundings transformed into a vast expanse of darkness, punctuated by scattered points of light that seemed to pulse with a baffling rhythm.
Without his divine sense, he felt an overwhelming sense of trepidation as he cautiously stepped forward, unsure of what lay ahead.
Lost in contemplation, Liang’s mind wandered back to the nine-tailed figure.
Time lost all meaning as Liang moved through the endless darkness. Hours merged into days, days into weeks, and eventually years slipped by. Yet, he persevered, following the flickering lights that beckoned him deeper into the unknown.
He encountered no obstacles, no enemies, and no signs of life other than the occasional ethereal light dots that seemed to dance around him.
"How long has it been?" Liang sighed deeply, having wandered in darkness for what felt like an eternity. He estimated it had been at least two hundred years.
As if in answer to his question, the darkness began to recede, replaced by hazy shapes that gradually formed familiar outlines. Liang’s heart leapt as he realized he was no longer surrounded by an empty void.
Before him stood a colossal chamber, its walls adorned with intricate carvings that depicted many creatures Liang hadn’t seen before. The air was heavy with an ancient aura, as if he had stepped into a forgotten temple that had stood for millions of years.
Liang’s gaze was drawn to the center of the chamber, where an ethereal light pulsed rhythmically. As he approached the light, he noticed a pathway that led directly towards it, flanked by two majestic statues.
In the flickering light, he could make out the details of the statues, carved from a luminescent jade-like material, they radiated an otherworldly presence that seemed to transcend time itself.
The statue on the left depicted a serpentine creature of immense proportions, its body coiled in a graceful spiral. Each of its nine heads possessed distinctive features, from razor-sharp fangs to majestic antlers.
On the right stood an equally formidable statue, this one resembling a magnificent avian predator. Its wings, spread wide as if in the act of taking flight, seemed to stretch across the entire chamber. Intricate feathers, each adorned with shimmering gems, cascaded down its body.
As he approached the statues, the chamber was suddenly illuminated by a radiant glow. Two ethereal figures emerged from the statues.
The figure beside the serpentine creature resembled an ancient sage, its wrinkled face etched with wisdom and experience. It wore flowing golden robes, and its eyes glowed with an otherworldly light.
The figure beside the avian predator, in contrast, exuded an aura of regal authority, the wings on its back seemed to shimmer with the brilliance of a thousand stars.
The two figures stood in silence for a moment, their eyes fixed upon Liang. Then, a faint chuckle broke the silence as the figure beside the avian statue turned to its companion.
"Old Serpent, this young man’s bloodline source bears a striking resemblance to your own."
The ancient sage-like figure nodded sagely. "Indeed, there are some affinities. He is on the cusp of a remarkable destiny."
"A destiny to become a nine-headed serpent? I think I’ll pass on that," the avian figure quipped, its laughter echoing through the chamber.
Liang stood frozen, his mind racing as he tried to comprehend the implications of this unexpected encounter.
Unbeknownst to Liang, the two figures before him were no mere guardians. They were two ancient Primordial Spirit Beings, with a respectable influence in the Trinity Palace.
Sensing Liang’s confusion, the serpentine figure spoke again. "Young man, do not be alarmed. You are walking on the right path."

Although Liang didn’t understand what they were talking about, he nodded in acknowledgment.
The two figures exchanged a knowing glance, and then turned their attention back to Liang. "Very well, let’s the trial begin."
With a wave of his withered hand, a giant scroll adorned with glowing runes materialized in the air. The scroll was crafted from an unknown, ethereal substance, emanating an ancient aura as if it had existed since the primordial dawn.
"This is your trial," the ancient sage looked at Liang deeply. "To pass it, you will need to comprehend the contents of this scroll."
Liang frowned slightly. "May I inquire, Senior, what exactly is it that I need to comprehend?"
The two figures exchanged a knowing glance. "Very well," the ancient sage said. "It is not our place to tell you directly, but since there seems to be some affinity between us, I will offer you a hint. What lies within this scroll is a unique technique—a law boundary connection technique."
Law boundary connection technique? Liang’s mind flickered with surprise. From the Boundless Void Depository, he knew what kind of technique this was. It was a technique that was generally known only among high-level cultivators in the Celestial step and above. It allowed cultivators to connect their respective law sources, which was somewhat similar to what had happened to him while forming his Inner Universe.
"Is there any time limit?" Liang asked, looking at the two figures with worry in his eyes.
The avian figure chuckled lightly. "None at all. Take your time."
Surprise flickered in Liang’s eyes. Something felt off. "Surely there’s more to it."
"What the old bird said is not entirely wrong," the sage said, looking at the avian figure and snorting. "There is a time limit, but we are not the ones who determine it. It is you."
Feeling somewhat perplexed, Liang wanted to ask more, but the avian figure interrupted him. "No more questions, brat. Now begin."
The ancient sage beside it turned its gaze towards the avian figure, a wry smile playing on its lips.
With a flick of his wrist, the ancient sage sent the glowing scroll hovering towards Liang. As it approached him, Liang instinctively reached out his hand and touched it. The moment he did, the scroll seemed to disintegrate into innumerable light dots, like countless fireflies, that surged into his mind.
As the light dots entered his mind, a jade-like spiritual platform emerged, suspended within his consciousness. On this spiritual platform, an ancient script appeared, swirling with profound laws that felt both familiar and foreign.
He was lost in the profound intricacies of the law boundary connection technique. As he delved deeper, time seemed to lose its meaning.
Suddenly, a ripple spread across the jade-like spiritual platform. Liang’s eyes shot open.
