Law Derivative Jade
The Law Derivative Jade, also translated as the Law Derivation Jade or Derivation Law Jade, is a sentient Heavenly Wonder that derives cultivation methods to fit a petitioner’s needs. Together with the Tianxuan Mirror it forms part of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s foundation, but its childlike incarnation has preferences, fatigue, and the ability to resist its assigned workload (Chapters 297, 505, 707–711, 939–942).
History
Restricted Alliance audience
The Jade first enters the narrative as the coveted top reward attached to Immortal Sage Jicheng’s bounty. Later accounts establish that access normally requires a rare Derivative Jade Token granted for major service or obtained through an exceptional exchange. Visitors are escorted into the Guardian Hall at Alliance headquarters, pass suppressive security, surrender the token, and receive a timed audience rather than custody of the artifact (Chapters 297, 585, 651, 706–711).
Xu Bai’s derivation
Li Fan’s identity Xu Bai uses a Dao Integration-level token to request a cultivation method. The Jade appears as a sleeping young girl beneath a rotating sphere of characters and techniques; waiting time and countdown rules mean an overambitious request can consume the audience without a result. Her eventual response demonstrates both immense deductive power and discretion independent of the guards’ routine (Chapters 706–711).
The feigned malfunction
When the Guardian Hall’s waiting time stretches toward ten years, Holy Embryo Li Fan enters with another token and discovers that the Jade is pretending to sleep to escape mounting work. He enters her golden sea of cultivation methods, exposes the deception, and helps persuade her to resume. Four days later she derives the requested continuation concerning the Three Disasters and Hundred Tribulations, while mischievously testing the petitioner (Chapters 939–942).
Description and function
The Law Derivative Jade’s working space contains a vast sphere formed from innumerable rotating characters. Beneath it, the treasure manifests as a young girl at a long wooden table. Her inner world resembles an ocean of texts and golden light, confirming that the humanlike body is a sentient interface to a much larger derivation system (Chapters 707–711, 940–942).
Petitioners specify the cultivation method and desired requirements. The Jade analyzes existing principles and continues, adapts, or creates a suitable technique, including high-realm methods difficult to find elsewhere. It supplies an answer through a controlled audience rather than letting visitors freely browse its entire archive (Chapters 707–711, 942).
Abilities and limitations
Tailored technique derivation
The Jade can derive continuations and transformations suited to a user’s cultivation path, body, or stated goal. Its successful products include Dao Integration-level methods and specialized continuations that ordinary sect archives cannot provide. Derivation remains a process: difficult requests take time, may approach the audience countdown, and can fail to finish within the licensed visit (Chapters 707–711, 942).
Sentient workload and refusal
The child incarnation speaks, judges petitioners, becomes annoyed, plays tricks, and can halt work by pretending to sleep. This autonomy means the Guardian Hall cannot reduce her to an always-available machine. Persuasion can restore cooperation, but accumulated workload and temperament remain practical limits on output (Chapters 939–942).
Institutional access limits
An audience requires a valid token, identity processing, travel to guarded headquarters, and submission to the allotted time. Three Dao Integration guardians and the Hall’s security oversee access without performing the Jade’s derivations themselves. Possession of a token is therefore a temporary right of consultation, not ownership or portable custody (Chapters 651, 706–711, 939–942).
Custody and users
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance houses the Jade within its Guardian Hall and regulates audiences. Its guardians control entry and respond to failures, but the Jade’s feigned sleep and private decisions show that institutional residence is not total command over its sentient agency (Chapters 707–711, 939–942).
Xu Bai and Holy Embryo Li Fan are temporary petitioners who enter under tokens; neither takes the Jade away. Li Fan benefits from the resulting techniques through his identities and memories, while token holders such as Daoist Qianxun merely possess transferable access credentials (Chapters 706–711, 939–942).
