Creating Heavenly Laws

Chapter 118

"Good person?"

In the grand hall, the various demon lords, including Moyang Demon Lord, couldn't help exchanging looks.

For beings like them, Xiahou Yuan was definitely not a good person.

Thirty years ago, before the war between the righteous and demonic forces, Xiahou Yuan ruled over the demonic realms, commanding countless demon lords. Why did none of the demon lords dare to rebel against him? Because any disobedient ones were killed by Xiahou Yuan.

The Elder of the Zhi Ge Sect was not wrong in saying so. Xiahou Yuan's hands were indeed stained with blood. However, most of that blood belonged to other demon lords. The next in line were the strongmen of the righteous factions.

"Three years ago, my disciple went to Tianjian Sect with strongmen from other sects and has not returned since. The lifefire left in the sect has shown no signs of disturbance."

"The current Tianjian Sect probably has gathered over seventy percent of the strongmen from the five domains. That Tianjianzi has at least stepped into the tenth realm."

"If the Demon Emperor intends to continue seeking revenge on Tianjianzi, you should think twice."

The Elder of the Zhi Ge Sect continued. He did not know that Tianjianzi was already a tenth realm evolver and was currently lurking in Tianjian Sect, waiting for Xiahou Yuan to come for revenge.

However, based on his keen intuition and the lack of any news from his disciple for so long, he sensed that something was amiss. He speculated that Tianjian Sect might have set a trap, waiting for Xiahou Yuan to arrive.

Thirty years ago, he failed to stop his disciple, resulting in the war between the righteous and demonic forces. Xiahou Yuan was suppressed, and the demon lords lost their restraints, causing chaos once again.

This time, the Elder of the Zhi Ge Sect felt that he should do something.

At the very least

Xiahou Yuan should not be suppressed again.

The thoughts of the legendary demon lord Xiahou Yuan left the Elder of the Zhi Ge Sect in a complicated state.

He came alone to tell Xiahou Yuan these things, undoubtedly betraying the Zhi Ge Sect and the righteous factions.

But as long as the creatures of the five domains were in a slightly better situation, bearing some infamy was nothing.

"Is that all?"

Lin Yuan looked around at the demon lords.

"My Lord, what this old man said does make some sense."

Moyang Demon Lord pondered for a moment. Based on the information he currently possessed, he knew that many strongmen from the five domains had gone to Tianjian Sect in recent years. Their purpose could be guessed; it was probably related to Xiahou Yuan's escape.

However, Moyang Demon Lord was just a demon lord and could not possibly understand the righteous factions like the Elder of the Zhi Ge Sect did.

"In that case, none of you should send anyone near Tianjian Sect in the near future." Lin Yuan said.

In fact, even if the Elder of the Zhi Ge Sect hadn't come to warn him, Lin Yuan wouldn't foolishly go to Tianjian Sect seeking revenge. Xiahou Yuan might do such a thing, but Lin Yuan was not Xiahou Yuan.

In Lin Yuan's estimation, Tianjianzi was already a tenth realm cultivator. Coupled with the fact that he was on his own territory and could activate the traps left by his predecessors in Tianjian Mountain Gate, he could be considered either a peak tenth realm or even an eleventh realm.

Lin Yuan wouldn't consider seeking revenge until he reached the thirteenth realm. And the thirteenth realm was roughly equivalent to the sixth to seventh stage of the fifth rank.

In the depths of the underground palace.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

Compared to several years ago, the medium-sized Heavenly grade Spring of Qi that continuously gushed out, now had shrunk several circles, only about half a meter in radius.

In fact, if it weren't for the Spring of Qi being connected to the veins, able to continuously draw in the vitality of the millions of miles around, it would have dried up long ago.

"Not bad."

Lin Yuan glanced at the Spring of Qi.

After breaking through to the fifth rank, his demand for the vitality of heaven and earth had decreased significantly. The current small Spring of Qi was more than enough.

"Fifth rank."

Lin Yuan's mind sank into the Mind Palace between his eyebrows.

In the central area of the spiritual "galaxy" composed of a large amount of Yin and Yang power, a virtual figure sat cross-legged. This virtual figure was identical to Lin Yuan and sat in the center of the "galaxy" like an ancient deity.

"Spirit."

At this moment, the virtual figure suddenly opened its eyes and fell into contemplation.

The spirit was composed of a large amount of spiritual power and was condensed by Lin Yuan. However, since the spirit was not substantial, it was extremely fast when it left the body. However, once separated from the physical body, the spirit became much weaker.

"There are still flaws."

Lin Yuan carefully sensed his own spirit.

Based on the principles of Tai Chi, Lin Yuan had established his spirit. However, the Yin and Yang forces on his spirit were not very prominent at the moment.

Or rather, the forces of Yin and Yang had completely merged and could not be separated, which made Lin Yuan somewhat dissatisfied.

"I follow the path of martial arts evolution, gathering and dispersing at will. How could it only gather and not disperse?"

"Continue perfecting."

Lin Yuan was not discouraged but focused on cultivation.

For founders like Lin Yuan, every step taken was unknown and required constant refinement.

If the spirit was dissatisfied, then focus on the spirit.

If the physical body was dissatisfied, then focus on the physical body.

Focus on whatever was unsatisfactory.

Time passed.

Another five years went by.

"With the Tao of Tai Chi as the foundation, the Tao of Mysterious Yellow Path as the framework, and thousands of paths of evolution as the flesh."

"Tai Chi Spirit, appear."

Within Lin Yuan's Mind Palace between his eyebrows.

In the endless galaxy composed of Yin and Yang, the spirit sat in the center but suddenly transformed into Yin and Yang.

Then.

This spirit split into two figures.

One figure was enveloped in the aura of Yin, with a blurry face.

The other figure was surrounded by the aura of Yang, with bright eyes.

"This is the spirit I want."

The two spirits exchanged a glance.

In fact, these two figures were now more like Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit than spirits.

To be precise, they were Yin Spirit, Yang Spirit, and when combined, Tai Chi Spirit.

"Yin Spirit, Yang Spirit."

Outside, Lin Yuan opened his eyes.

With a slight movement of his mind, the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit left his body.

And sat face to face with Lin Yuan's original self.

"Is this considered One Qi Separating Three Clears?"

Lin Yuan's consciousness was divided into three, looking at the three of himself with a strange expression on his face.

Because it was the same consciousness, Lin Yuan now had three perspectives.

"Whether it's the Yin Spirit or the Yang Spirit, since they are composed of spiritual power and not restricted by the physical body, they can naturally be manipulated as desired."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Lin Yuan speculated that with the current strength of his Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit, if fully unleashed, they would probably reach a size of ten thousand zhang.

Ten thousand zhang Yin Spirit.

Ten thousand zhang Yang Spirit.

In the grand hall of the underground palace.

Nuan Shu sat at the first seat below the main seat, frowning in contemplation.

During Lin Yuan's seclusion, many matters of the demonic path were decided by Nuan Shu.

The nine demon lords had no complaints about this, nor did they dare to.

"It's almost ten years. Why is Steward Hu still not sending any messages?"

Nuan Shu's expression showed a hint of worry.

Steward Hu was one of the thirty-six stewards under the Demon Emperor, just like Nuan Shu back in the day.

Similarly, he was loyal to the Demon Emperor.

When Xiahou Yuan was suppressed in the depths of the Great Abyss eighteen layers below ground, Nuan Shu gathered the remaining demon lords and made every effort to rescue the Demon Emperor.

Steward Hu infiltrated Tianjian Sect and provided support to Nuan Shu by transmitting information externally.

During the Demon Emperor's reign over the five domains, Steward Hu was famous for his ability to change and conceal his aura.

With Steward Hu's methods, if he fully concealed his aura, even ninth-realm strongmen wouldn't be able to detect him.

It was thanks to this ability that Steward Hu did well in Tianjian Sect and obtained a lot of information.

Before Xiahou Yuan emerged from the Great Abyss, Nuan Shu led the remaining demon lords to repeatedly evade the encirclement and suppression of the righteous forces.

The information transmitted by Steward Hu was invaluable.

After Lin Yuan emerged from the Great Abyss, reasserted control over the nine demon lords, Nuan Shu sent a message to Steward Hu, asking him to come back and no longer lurk in the dangerous Tianjian Sect.

But until now, Nuan Shu had not received any response from Steward Hu.

"Could he have been discovered by Tianjian Sect?"

Nuan Shu speculated, then shook her head and dismissed the idea.

She held Steward Hu's "lifefire" and could know whether he was alive or dead.

With Steward Hu's loyalty to the Demon Emperor, if he were discovered by Tianjian Sect, he would certainly not hesitate to take his own life.

Even if he didn't commit suicide, if captured by Tianjian Sect and subjected to soul-searching, they would not spare Steward Hu's life.

Whichever outcome it was, Steward Hu's "lifefire" would have been extinguished.

Now that the "lifefire" was still burning, it meant that Steward Hu was temporarily safe, at least his life was still intact.

"I hope nothing unexpected happens."

Nuan Shu sighed. Over the years, Steward Hu had risked his life lurking in Tianjian Sect to rescue the Demon Emperor.

Now that the Demon Emperor had returned, if he could come back alive, his status would be no lower than hers.

Tianjian Sect.

Misty clouds drifted by.

It looked like a fairyland.

A middle-aged man with a simple and honest face walked on the mountain path, a hint of anxiety deep in his eyes.

"Tianjianzi has reached the tenth realm, but intentionally blocked the information and hid with other strongmen from the five domains at the mountain gate. He must want to lure my Lord here."

The middle-aged man with the simple and honest face thought to himself silently.

He was Steward Hu, posing as a disciple, lurking in Tianjian Sect for decades, treading on thin ice until today.

Although he was just a disciple and did not participate in Tianjianzi's secret talks with the strongmen from the five domains.

Over the years, many anomalies displayed by Tianjian Sect, along with the terrifying aura that permeated ten years ago, had led to many suspicions.

"No."

"I must get out."

"I must inform my Lord, he must not come to Tianjian Sect."

Steward Hu settled his mind and began to ponder carefully.

Apart from conveying crucial information, Steward Hu also realized that his identity couldn't be hidden for much longer.

In recent years, Tianjianzi's terrifying consciousness had shrouded the entire Tianjian Sect several times.

It had even passed over Steward Hu on several occasions.

Steward Hu had a feeling that if it happened a few more times, Tianjianzi would likely detect something unusual about him.

His concealment techniques could deceive ninth-realm experts, but not someone like Tianjianzi, who was at the tenth realm. If it weren't for his good performance in recent years, not drawing Tianjianzi's particular attention, his identity might have been exposed several years ago.

Steward Hu was not afraid of death. What he feared was that if he died, his Lord would fall into the hands of Tianjian Sect's schemes.

"I can only try that secret passage."

Steward Hu made a decision.

Tianjianzi had successfully lured Xiahou Yuan into a trap, sealing off the entire Tianjian Sect, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.

Disciples like Steward Hu were naturally no exception.

However, the blockade was of all exits of Tianjian Sect.

In recent years, Steward Hu had discovered a secret passage leading outside.

But he didn't know if it could evade Tianjianzi's perception.

However, Steward Hu had no choice now.

He could only take the risk.

At the peak of Tianjian Peak.

Tianjianzi and several other strong individuals showed signs of impatience.

It had been ten years.

A full ten years.

They had been waiting here, baiting their trap for ten years.

But Xiahou Yuan never took the bait and never came for revenge.

If it weren't for the many strong individuals on the field who had personally experienced the battle between righteousness and demonic forces thirty or forty years ago and knew that Tianjianzi had shattered Xiahou Yuan's state of mind with 'Bai Qing'er', both sides would be equally matched.

Perhaps they would have thought that Xiahou Yuan had given up his hatred?

"Master, what's the matter with Xiahou Yuan?"

A ninth-realm expert asked quietly. He had come to Tianjian Sect and stayed for ten years, and his own power must have been affected.

"Yeah, Master, is Xiahou Yuan coming or not?"

"If he doesn't come, we'll leave."

Other strong individuals on the field chimed in.

Although they hadn't suffered any mistreatment in Tianjian Sect, they all had families and forces to manage.

Disappearing for ten years was something no one could accept.

It was only because Tianjianzi had such high prestige and was a once-in-a-millennium tenth-realm expert that everyone hadn't left long ago.

"Don't worry, everyone."

Tianjianzi opened his eyes, his tone calm. "The longer he takes to come, the more severely injured Xiahou Yuan is. If you can't wait for ten years, what are you going to do about dealing with Xiahou Yuan?"

Tianjianzi paused for a moment before continuing, "But I believe Xiahou Yuan should be coming soon."

Tianjianzi's words were like a steadfast anchor, giving the strong individuals on the field great confidence.

"Very well."

"Since the Master says so."

"We'll wait a few more years."

"Yes, to be honest, if I don't see Xiahou Yuan's body, I won't dare to leave."

"Hahaha, that makes sense."

The expressions of many strong individuals immediately eased. Upon closer inspection, staying in Tianjian Sect wasn't bad either. At least in terms of the supply of heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, it exceeded that of their own forces.

Tianjianzi glanced at the many strong individuals. In fact, he was also a bit anxious. But no matter what, if he gave up this opportunity and allowed the strong individuals on the field to leave, news of his breakthrough to the tenth realm would spread.

By then, how could Xiahou Yuan dare to come?

Tianjianzi was about to continue speaking.

Suddenly.

Tianjianzi's brow furrowed.

He looked towards a certain position outside the mountain gate.
