The rule path is the Gu path whose Gu worms and killer moves impose or amplify effects through explicit rules.
The novel treats rule path as a named cultivation path with Immortal Gu, killer moves, and ranked attainment, not as a metaphor for law.
What the path governs
Amplify effect Gu is from the rule path. It supplements other Gu worms and amplifies the chosen Gu worm’s effects. The amplification level depends on the amplify effect Gu’s rank: higher rank means greater effect, with higher primeval essence expenditure as the drawback. Fire path and water path Gu Masters can use it, and Fang Yuan notes that both his enslavement and strength paths can use amplify effect Gu. Among Hei tribe resources he finds over a dozen amplify effect Gu and picks the rank five piece, which boosts a Gu worm’s effectiveness by five times. ch. 522
Small and Disintegrate

The narration states that to counter rule path with rule path is the most effective option. When thousand disintegrations meets big to small, the miniman Gu Immortal answers that Unfettered Scholar’s rule path Immortal Gu is only rank six while Small Gu is rank seven. ch. 801
