In various head rooms of Night Sky the argument continues,
"Imagine armies that can easily deflect laws...if laws can be negated, just imagine out infiltration abilities..."
"...Spies with power undetectable, seen only as mortals..."
"...Mortals gain the power of cultivators!"
The group, the blue alliance, were communicating via magic crystals which passed through a special domain Night Sky had made.
In one breath, the domain shook and each crystal sent out an oppressive aura, "So...let's protect him, give him support...establish a relationship...deepen our knowledge of this law rejecting energy...consume all that we can."

Hamar was sent to a Night Sky hidden base by the Blue Alliance Giant, in so he grew. The Night Sky leader of that base cleansed Hamar of any tracking and hid him.
With Si Tai, and his force backing him, angry at Hamar it was impossible for him to join the world again quickly without being found and assassinated.
While in the base camp, Hamar was given ample time and resources to advance his power. He continued to absorb aura and use whatever knowledge he could get from Night Sky to advance his swordsmanship, improve his techniques and comprehend more laws.
In doing so, he used his techniques and taught them to Night Sky. They had not yet learned how to use aura themselves, but they found a way to use the aura crystals he gave them to use those techniques.
In doing so they rested a new force in Night Sky, one they called the Beggars Corp. The defining characteristics of this Corp was to use mortals to infiltrate cultivators.
They would disguise as beggars, normal mortals, merchants, all of this would be their cover for information gathering and supply.
They could infiltrate and use basic aura crystals with special techniques to fight against cultivators or merely just get past any barriers.
Rumours began to grow. The rumours before Hamar had left had to do with Nine Clouds Sovereign Sect's Elder Nine Clouds Purple Miasma having gone into a seclusion and whispers of a new cultivation technique but now the people knew. It was an open secret that a new power has grown. But it moved away from Nine Clouds and towards the new mysterious force called the 'Beggars Corp'.
However, the rumours were kept suppressed by Nine Clouds Sovereign Sect's authority in the world. Si Tai continued to search but eventually lost interest as Night Sky found out the reason for his anger.

"Si Tai..." She bowed deeply and kept hers of unprotected in order to show her readiness for talking.
"Speak! You know what I want. I'm sure you have all the information." He tapped his foot and the shadows pulsed.
"Master Si Tai is generous...we have found out about Grand Life Crystal."
Di Tai's eyes flashed as he heard the name, a cold breath sounded out. He looked at the prostrating woman before his shadows were suppressed again and stopped pulsating.
"We swear by all m and that we, the Night Sky, have nothing to do with this theft. As a show of our sincere apology we have investigated it ourselves..."
Si Tai stopped tapping his foot, "stand up" as he looked into her eyes, "Explain, where is the Grand Life Crystal."
The woman shivered and then took a deep breath, "It is the mysterious Yi Sect...we have found traces that they are planning something huge, and the Life Crystal must be a crucial component of their grand plan...Night Sky wants to ask for Terrestrial Overlords Sect to comply with us and weed out Yi Sect" she took out a token, "take this, it should explain our findings"
Si Tai looked into the token and grimaced, "This is most worrying...I had thought it might've been Yi Sect but...they've not been properly seen for thousands of years...could they be planning something huge like the first cataclysm?"
The Night Sky woman frowned, "From our investigations...I-I don't know. All we have found is the smallest of traces."
"Take this, and send a message to that boy. The one that escaped me, tell him...I'll be ready for him if he wishes to learn. His power is unrefined but it has potential, and that creature he holds within him has a certain affinity towards me..."

Back to present
Hamar stood in the middle of a massive crater. The ground had become bizarre with earth, fire, water, flesh, air, plasma, eyes, fingers, tentacles and all sorts of strange features converging upon Hamar.
Yet in a metre around him, there was nothing. He stood there covered in a white glow, feeling the power course through him.
He breath in and then held it for a moment before lurching forward. His form grew and a phantom creature appeared before him.
In a white glow, a phantom monster made of eyes and tentacles appeared and thrashed at the bizarre feature of the ground, stopping all abnormal phenomena.
He floated in the air, carried by white aura. He no longer walked but simply floated. As he did, the laws around him weakened, his aura had another breakthrough.
He bowed deeply at a large group of cultivators who had varying levels of exhaustion. Many of the lower levelled one were over the floor coughing blood.
"Thank you Seniors! It is thanks to you that I have passed another tribulation!"
The main cultivator floated forward and bowed lightly, "It is nothing, how are you?"
Hamar squeezed his fists then punched himself in the chest, a gorilla phantom appearing behind him and a booming sound shaking the foundations of the cultivators in front of him.
They coughed and looked surprised, "Already at fourth, no, fifth hardening, no! Perhaps even higher, at my level I can't tell!"
They composed themselves before bowing deeper again, "Sir Hamar, Si Tai has invited you to train with him! He has forgiven you and Night Sky will protect you if goes back on his words!"
Hamar made a noise and stroked his face, "Do I look more handsome, and is my hair even longer?" He twirled his hand and a variety of laws passed through his body and were destroyed before even making it out...
'To think that I can't use laws so easily now...there are downside to everything. As my aura becomes stronger, it becomes harder to use laws from Hou...'
He turned to the cultivator, and seeing no response to his joking question he spoke, "Tell him...I will come on one condition..."
Hamar told them the condition and left. He flew through the air and as he passed the air, the laws fluctuated and tried to attack him. However at the same time, Hamar noticed something.
He landed on a random mountain and sat down. He shook his body's core and a space opened up within his body and a long mighty dragon flew out. It was jet black and looked as if a brush of ink had come to life, each movement was artistic.
"You've broken through!" the dragon beamed with excitement.
Hamar smiled, "I've gotten white aura and now laws will attack me passively but...look at this."
Hamar held out his hand and a string of white aura. It spun in the air and the laws struck, the string quickly dissipating.
"Did you notice?" Hamar looked over to the dragon. The dragon squinted but flew further out inspecting the air where 'it' happened, "no..."
"Look again!" Once again Hamar shot out a sliver of white aura which was then attack by the laws, then it dissipated.
The dragon this time froze, it begun to slowly circle in the air. Then it turned towards Hamar and spoke slowly, "The aura...adapted..."
Hamar smiled, "White aura can absorb laws and temporarily take control of them...not only that the aura can remove the Dao from the laws, removing any way the world could reject him.
He injected a large amount of white aura into the rock he sat upon, in doing so he felt a rejection. He was removing something from the stone, replacing it with aura.
Instead of simply destroying the stone, while he cold do that, instead he became it's owner and it transformed into a figure. It became a golem whose laws were Hamar's alone.
He crushed his fist and the stone shattered, laws turning into mana which he then absorbed instantly and a white light flashed around him. Hamar looked to the death dragon which floated in the air beside him with it's mouth wide open,
"Laws are mana...and I can absorb mana and turn it into aura..."
