454: The Spirit of Laws patrols the twelve realms.

The network of the Twelve Realms’ great cycle resembled a golden Dragon, coiling above the myriad Void Realms. Eleven energy torrents of varying colors slowly flowed along the Dragon’s Veins, emitting clear Daoist tones. At the nexus, Chaos Child and Void Messenger intently observed the circulating energy fluctuations. Verdant vines, transformed from the heaven-opening tree’s tender shoots, entwined the nexus core, while the faint gray spiritual light of Void Spirit Crystals dotted the area, making the entire great cycle operate even more smoothly and orderly.

Just then, within the great cycle’s network, twelve beams of white light suddenly ignited, even more brilliant than the first Spirit of Law that had been conceived earlier. As the light dissipated, twelve childlike figures, clad in pure white robes, emerged. They appeared to be about five or six years old, each bearing a simplified guardian mark on their brow. Their eyes were as clear as Glass, and pure Guardian intent swirled around them. These were the second batch of Spirits of Law to be born.

As soon as these Spirits of Law solidified, they uniformly bowed to The Seven of Lu Chen, their crisp childish voices echoing through the Void Realm like wind chimes: “Greetings, Guardian adults!”

Lu Chen slowly stepped forward, the golden light of the eternal dao fruit gently enveloping the twelve small figures. His eyes were filled with satisfaction: “You are all formed from the Guardian intent within the great cycle, bearing the heavy responsibility of patrolling the Twelve Realms and maintaining the stability of the cycle.”

The leading Spirit of Law looked up, its small face filled with determination: “We understand! Should there be any energy anomalies or evil disturbances in the Twelve Realms, we will report it immediately!”

Seeing this, Ling Xu's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance. He turned and retrieved twelve Patrol Spirit Talismans that had been refined long ago. These Talismans were based on void-reality spirit crystals, infused with Grandmist Reincarnation Talisman techniques. Their front was engraved with the ten realms spirit net’s Veins diagram, while their back bore the Myriad Realms Alliance’s mark. This allowed the Spirits of Law to contact the Myriad Realms Alliance at any time and also leverage the power of the Spirit Net to enhance their patrol efficiency.

“These are Patrol Spirit Talismans. Each of you gets one.” Ling Xu distributed the Talismans to the Spirits of Law, patiently explaining, “This Talisman can connect to the ten realms spirit net. If there’s an energy anomaly, the Talisman will automatically issue an alarm; if you encounter an intractable evil, crush the Talisman, and it will draw upon the local Spirit Net’s power to suppress it, and at the same time, the Myriad Realms Alliance will receive a distress signal.”

The Spirits of Law accepted the Patrol Spirit Talismans, carefully tucked them away, and bowed again: “Thank you, Lord Ling Xu!”

Green Bud felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at these innocent children. She waved her hand, and twelve heart-clearing pills, refined from Law Grass fruits, appeared in her palm: “These are heart-clearing pills. They can stabilize your intent and prevent erosion by evil Qi. Your Origin is Guardian intent, pure yet fragile. Remember not to easily contaminate yourselves with filth.”

The twelve Spirits of Law accepted the heart-clearing pills and obediently consumed them. The moment the Medicinal Pills entered their bodies, the white light around them became even purer, and their Guardian intent grew more solid.

“Alright, go.” Lu Chen waved his hand gently, his voice soft yet carrying an unquestionable authority, “The peace of the Twelve Realms is entrusted to you.”

“As you command!”

The twelve Spirits of Law responded in unison, transforming into twelve streaks of white light, each speeding towards a different direction of the Twelve Realms. Their figures were like twelve nimble stars, traversing the network of the great cycle, disappearing into the myriad Void Realms in an instant.

Xuanzhen Realm, beneath the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda

A Spirit of Law quietly appeared, its small nose sniffing lightly, and its brow instantly furrowed. A faint yin fiend qi permeated the air around the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda. Though not strong, it was slowly eroding the formation runes at the pagoda's foundation.

“yin fiend qi?” The Spirit of Law waved its small hand, and the Patrol Spirit Talisman instantly lit up, its surface displaying the Xuanzhen Realm Spirit Net’s Veins diagram, shimmering with a light purple spiritual glow. It leaped to the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda’s formation eyes, pressing its small hand onto the core. A surge of Spirit Net power emanated from the Patrol Spirit Talisman, merging with the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda’s Talisman Dao rhyme.

“Buzz—”

The Heaven-Reaching Pagoda suddenly erupted with dazzling purple light. The runes on the pagoda seemed to come alive, rapidly circulating and expelling all the yin fiend qi hidden within its foundation. The Spirit of Law’s small mouth opened slightly, releasing a pure white Guardian intent that, like a gentle breeze, completely purified the yin fiend qi.

After completing this, it carefully inspected every corner of the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, and only after confirming no residual yin fiend qi remained, did it nod in satisfaction. It then transformed into a streak of white light and flew towards other areas of the Xuanzhen Realm.

Reincarnation Realm, by the Wangchuan River

Another Spirit of Law appeared by the Wangchuan River. Dozens of souls were scattered and chaotic in the river, their Power of Reincarnation in disarray, clearly affected by residual evil Qi from the Nidao Realm.

The Wheel-Turning King, at a loss, saw the Spirit of Law arrive and his eyes immediately lit up with joy: “Little Spirit Envoy, please help! These souls have been infected by evil Qi and cannot undergo normal Reincarnation. If this continues, the order of the Reincarnation Realm will be chaotic!”

The Spirit of Law nodded, and with a wave of its small hand, a surge of Spirit Net power flowed from the Patrol Spirit Talisman and merged into the waters of the Wangchuan River. At the same time, it infused its own Guardian intent into the river water. The pure white light spread like flowing water, and wherever it passed, the chaotic Power of Reincarnation gradually calmed, and the scattered souls regained clarity, obediently flying towards the Gate of Reincarnation.

“Thank you, Little Spirit Envoy!” The Wheel-Turning King cupped his hands in gratitude, his face full of thanks, “With your help, the efficiency is more than ten times higher than before!”

The Spirit of Law smiled sweetly at the Wheel-Turning King, then turned into a streak of white light and continued patrolling other areas of the Reincarnation Realm.

Similar scenes were unfolding in various corners of the Twelve Realms. The Spirits of Law, relying on their pure Guardian intent and the power of the Patrol Spirit Talismans, were either purifying hidden evil Qi, calming chaotic energy fluctuations, or sorting out imbalanced Law trajectories, eliminating the hidden dangers of the Twelve Realms one by one.

At the nexus of the great cycle, Chaos Child looked at the constantly flickering light spots on the Spirit Net’s Veins, his face full of admiration: “These Spirits of Law are truly born patrollers! They can precisely sense even the faintest energy anomalies and handle them cleanly and decisively.”

The Void Messenger nodded, his gaze falling upon the twelve white lights on the Spirit Net’s Veins, a thoughtful look in his eyes: “I always feel that the Guardian intent on their bodies, in addition to the nourishment of the great cycle, seems to carry a hint of a familiar aura.”

Lu Chen nodded slightly upon hearing this, a profound look in his eyes: “Indeed, there is a trace of our Qi in their Origin. This is the continuation of the Guardian belief, and also a gift from the Twelve Realms Spirit Net and the great cycle.”

Everyone suddenly understood. The Spirits of Law were the crystallization of Guardian intent, and the source of this intent was the unwavering dedication of The Seven of Lu Chen and the Patrol Envoys over thousands of years. Their birth was, in essence, the Legacy of the Guardian belief.

Just then, a simple Jade Slip suddenly drifted down within the great cycle’s Veins. The Jade Slip was entirely condensed from Law runes, its surface inscribed with methods for conceiving and cultivating Spirits of Law, as well as techniques for integrating with Spirit Net power. It was precisely the “Spirit of Law Cultivation Art.”

Lu Chen reached out and caught the Jade Slip. With a sweep of his Divine Sense, a joyful expression appeared on his face: “This art records how to guide the growth of the Spirits of Law, how to enhance their Guardian power, and how to use the power of the dao heart tree to strengthen their intent. With this art, the growth path of the Spirits of Law will be much smoother.”

He handed the Jade Slip to Green Bud, smiling: “Green Bud, you are proficient in the Dao of Vitality and skilled at cultivating spiritual plants. This ‘Spirit of Law Cultivation Art’ will be under your care.”

Green Bud took the Jade Slip, her eyes filled with delight: “Don’t worry, I will study it carefully and make sure these little ones grow up quickly to become the most reliable Guardians of the Twelve Realms.”

At this moment, above the Void Realm of the Twelve Realms, the figures of the twelve Spirits of Law were rapidly shuttling. Their small faces were earnest, and their clear eyes shone with the light of guardianship. They might still be weak, perhaps still naive, but in their hearts, they carried the peace of the Twelve Realms, carrying the Legacy of the Guardian belief.

The great cycle’s Veins continued to operate steadily, energy torrents flowing slowly along their trajectories, nourishing every inch of the Twelve Realms. The figures of the Spirits of Law were like twelve nimble stars, illuminating the myriad Void Realms and also illuminating the future of the Guardian path.

The Seven of Lu Chen stood in the Void Realm of the Myriad Laws Realm, looking towards the Twelve Realms, their eyes filled with satisfaction. They knew that these Spirits of Law would become the new Guardians of the Twelve Realms, continuing their belief, guarding the stability of the great cycle, and guarding the orderly myriad Laws of the Twelve Realms, until eternity.

And deep within the great cycle, more Guardian intents were quietly being conceived, awaiting the moment they would break through the earth and bloom with their own light.
