"Why is it not absorbing Heaven's blessing?" Heaven's blessing wasn't absorbed by the runes which were within the avatar's law base. The situation was slowly morphing towards the worst-case scenario imagined by the three people. If the newly formed hybrid law runes turned out to be dead, a huge amount of resources and efforts would have been wasted.
"Does anyone have any idea which way to proceed in?"
"I have a speculation. I think that Heaven's blessing is to be combined just like the laws. Only then would you be able to create the energy which could be absorbed by the law runes."
"This process is getting much more complicated than I expected. If the process were to go in those lines, how would I train in the law energy in future? Would I have to constantly fuse two kinds of energy first and then cultivate in it?" Long Tao was getting desperate towards his situation.
"I think the law runes would be able to take care of that once they activate. You have to understand that, they are dead as of now. But once you manage to activate them, they will begin to swallow energy on their own."
"And you are suggesting that they would be able to mix the energy into the hybrid type on their own?"
"I think so. There is no fault in giving it a try. Just use the same cauldron created by the three law energies to morph the two types of blessing into the hybrid type."
Long Tao had no choice but to give the situation a try. The avatar closed his eyes once again and began to absorb the two kinds of blessings. After absorbing the two energies, he began to manipulate them to enter through the cauldron formation. To the avatar's delight, the two kinds of energy easily mixed within the cauldron and began to flow out on the other side.
This new type of energy felt very similar to the hell-Haven Qi which Long Tao practiced in, yet was much more powerful. It had an impressive quality to it, and the law runes began to devour them. Soon enough a similar process to what happened during Li Meng's breakthrough appeared. After the whole of heaven's blessing was absorbed by the runes, a drastic change occurred within the avatar's body.
The Hell-Heaven Qi within its body began to be absorbed by the law runes along with a lot of Blood essence energy from the connection pool. At first, Long Tao was alarmed by the incredibly fast rates and thought that it might lead to an overload which would ultimately push the avatar's body to death.
But to his surprise, the Hell-heaven Qi was slowly morphing. It wasn't the same kind of energy as before. It slowly started to give out the same feeling as the hybrid Qi after the combination of the two Heaven's blessings. The avatar's body slowly changed bit by bit, as the Qi quality went on increasing. It slowly began to change the body's attributes too.
The Hell-heaven Qi was utilized by Long Tao to train in a lot of arts. Be it Hell-forging art or Weapon Tempering art, each of them was formulated based on Hell-heaven Qi. As of now, they were slowly morphing due to the new kind of energy.
"I guess we managed to successfully activate the law runes. You are going to gain a lot due to this." The Pill-Hall master couldn't help but feel elated about this occurrence. The formulation was his idea after all.
"We still need to see whether the runes would be able to absorb energy on their own or not." The Keeper spoke. All they could do was wait for the outcome. They could only hope that the newly formed rune was capable enough of absorbing either kind of energy on its own.
The three people waited for a long time, looking expectantly at the person before them. Brown lines were visible all over the body of the avatar, and every bit of his body was going through a change.
"I didn't see this sort of variation when I connected with the elemental laws."
"That is because elemental laws were mainly concerned with your Qi type, and the changes brought by it would at most change your Qi quality. Body laws are a bit different. They change your body altogether. It is even more so in your case as the whole Qi type that was used by you to practice your body laws is being changed. The process is going to belong."
Long Tao understood the Keeper's point of view and decided to wait for the process to end. It finally came to an end, and just like the previous breakthrough, a set of new law runes entered the body of every other avatar. Only in the case of Li Meng, a change occurred.
The new set of law runes were pre-activated and hence they began to absorb power on their own. Li Meng body started to undergo the same change as the avatar, but the change was much faster in comparison.
"This Origin of avatar art can even replicate body laws. Who created such powerful art?" The Keeper couldn't help but speculate about the situation.
The second avatar has finally finished his break-through and went into closed-door cultivation to digest all the Heaven's blessing accepted by it.
Li Meng, on the other hand, could feel his power had grown. Although it didn't bring out a drastic amount of growth in his cultivation base, it was still substantial so to say. He felt that if all his avatars were to breakthrough, his cultivation base would continue to rise, and may even enter the Qi Emperor level directly.
The only matter of concern was the fact that he still wasn't able to sense the Chaos law realm. Even after connecting to 5 different laws, the barrier seems to have thinned a bit but was still present.
"Just continue the flow and give it your best. Even if you are not able to connect with Chaos law, you are still going to be connected with so many Heavenly laws. They would easily overpower someone who has connected with a single Chaos law."

Unknown to the group within the cave, huge upheaval had taken place outside. Due to the breakthrough at King level, the area around the cave seems to have changed due to Heaven's blessing. Even the continuous QI changes within the Taiwan mountains weren't able to hide the QI fluctuation brought about by the break-through.
This scene attracted the eyes of the explorer groups of both the bandits in and around the area, as well as the spy group belonging to the newly formed coalition of the city powers. Each rushed out to report the matter to their superiors.
A secluded region of the Taiwan mountains-
"Milord, we have observed a huge fluctuation, which felt like Heaven's blessing whenever a cultivator connects with Heavenly laws during their breakthrough."
"Are you saying that someone within the Taiwan mountains had a breakthrough into QI King level by connecting with a Heavenly law?" The leader asked.
"Yes, sire." The man replied.
"We need to investigate the matter. Find the guy who connected with the Heavenly law. Have him join our group." The leader commanded.
"What if he denies doing that?"
"Such a powerful entity couldn't be ignored. They could either work for us or be eliminated by us. Offer them the best of conditions to join our group. If he/she dares to reject the offer, kill them." The leader said with a sinister expression.
The men under him began to show the region around the cave where the phenomena had occurred. The leader ordered them to search all nearby locations and the groups within this place. Their group was one of the most powerful Bandit groups within the Taiwan mountain range. No other bandit group dares to ignore their orders.
................................................
City limits-
A spy group could be seen to have rushed into the city's borders and made their way towards the independent cultivator alliance. The vice-leader was analyzing the reports which came in yesterday when one of the guards reported the urgent arrival of a dispatched spy group.
The spy leader greeted the vice-leader and then went on to convey the message.
"You are saying that someone recently had a break-through within the Taiwan mountains and even managed to connect with Heavenly Laws."
"The phenomena resembled Heavenly law blessings. We couldn't confirm the exact location due to the continuous Qi distortions which are occurring with the mountain range, but we did manage to encircle an area which would have the location where the cultivator carried out their breakthrough."
The vice-leader nodded and dismissed the group of bandits. A figure soon appeared within the hall, just beside the vice-leader.
"Could this be the man who sir is looking for?" The vice-leader was extremely respectful towards the hood.
"It shouldn't be. The man I am looking for had already broken-through the Qi King level the last time I saw him. This must be someone else. Have some of your force lookout for this new variable."
The vice-leader nodded in agreement. The hood vanished out of sight a few moments later.
