The Innkeeper

Chapter 1541  About time

Orin crushed the platinum key and vanished, gone to take the test to join the Midnight Inn. Lex withdrew his projection of the Amber Chaos Resin, and leaned back in his chair. He didn't have many pieces of the resin left, and each one was beyond extremely valuable.

The reason he was willing to use it for the creation of this bead was because Lex had taken a great interest in Karma and intended on using it long term.

Unlike arrays, which had once served him very well but ultimately reached a plateau in terms of strength, he felt like he could use Karma indefinitely. The reason arrays plateaued in strength, he eventually discovered, was because the characters that arrays were formed of were a sort of manifestation of certain aspects of specific laws.

One could even say that using laws was an upgraded and more potent version of using arrays.

But Karma was Karma. There was no upgraded or deteriorated version of it, and was so powerful that even Dao Lords feared and respected it. Such a field was worth learning and investing in.

A gleam flashed through Lex's eyes as he thought about his future plans. While he did not think that he was worth studying, the way Licanderoth had claimed he would be studied, but it was true that Lex was perhaps at his best when he was planning some kind of revenge.
