"The result."
"The very next year, the Ancestral Dragon of the Great Zhou Martial Country died mysteriously. The entire Imperial Palace was turned to ruins, as if so taboo existence had acted to obliterate the Ancestral Dragon of the Great Zhou Martial Country."
"You want to beco an ’Ancestral Dragon’?"
Xu Qing asked.
"That’s right."
Wang Miao nodded.
"Heh."
Xu Qing let out a cold laugh. "Aren’t you afraid of that taboo existence? Aren’t you afraid you’ll suffer the sa fate as the Ancestral Dragon of the Great Zhou Martial Country?"
"This..."
Wang Miao’s heart skipped a beat.
"I am ordering you now: leave Qing Province imdiately and co to my side. The matter of unifying Qing Province can be left to others."
Xu Qing commanded in a low voice.
"Yes, I will obey."
Wang Miao lowered his head.
In truth,
it was easy to imagine.
The existence of an "Ancestral Dragon," freed from the constraints of the Emperor Dragon Qi, was like a Supre Emperor of a Human Race Dynasty. Such a being could enjoy the resources of an entire nation. Furthermore, anyone capable of founding a Dynasty and becoming its Founding Emperor would surely possess unparalleled aptitude and world-shaking talent. With the resources of a nation at their disposal, they would inevitably advance by leaps and bounds on their Cultivation path, reaching an inconceivable Realm.
And so,
a taboo existence had appeared.
It directly obliterated anyone who attempted to beco an "Ancestral Dragon." It was as if such a being was simply not allowed to exist, and they were snuffed out completely before they could ever grow strong.
Clearly,
there were deep waters here. Without sufficient Power, one could not afford to delve too deeply, get involved, or even investigate the reasons behind it.
When the ti ca,
as one’s strength and Realm increased, everything would naturally co to light. There would be no need to search for answers; the truth would gradually reveal itself.
It was just like the saying: the higher you stand, the farther you see.
「In the blink of an eye, three days later.」
SWOOSH!
A streak of light tore through the sky. Wang Miao had returned from Qing Province to Cang Province and, in the shortest ti possible, arrived at Xu Qing’s side.
「Fla Cloud Sect.」
「Inside the courtyard of Xu Qing’s residence.」
"Master."
Wang Miao was back. His Cultivation had broken through to the Fourth Realm, and he was now a powerhouse who had reached the Initial Entry of the Law Realm. "I, Wang Miao, pay my respects, Master."
"Mm."
Xu Qing looked up, his gaze sizing up Wang Miao. "Very good. From this day forward, you will follow . Do not go anywhere else."
"As for your blood feud..."
"I will follow all of Master’s orders."
Wang Miao said imdiately.
"Fine."
Xu Qing nodded. "Rest assured, I will let you have your revenge."
"Yes."
Wang Miao replied.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, a hint of surprise appeared on Xu Qing’s face. He imdiately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and connected his consciousness to the Encyclopedia of All Things, which began to flash with a brilliant light.
"Well, I’ll be damned."
Xu Qing’s expression was one of shock.
...
[Cabbage Flower Snake LV40: 0/5,000,000,000,000 (Originally an ordinary Cabbage Flower Snake, it has undergone thirty-nine upgrades and transformations to beco a true ’Devouring Snake King.’ It possesses the massive body of a King Beast ten thousand ters long. It has awakened nine Minor Divine Techniques, including Devouring Space, Vast Strength, Spatial Control, Power of Death, and Space Travel. It has also mastered eighty-one Divine Techniques, reaching the level of a Level 1 King Beast.)]
...
It was important to understand,
that the Demon Path was mainly divided into two routes.
One,
was for a Demon to undergo Demonization into a human form. These were called the Demon Race. The Demon Race would cultivate a Demon Pill, then a Demon Infant, then a Demon God, and so on, advancing step by step.
The second route,
was to not take human form, but to cultivate the Demon Body instead. These were called Ferocious Beasts. Upon entering the Third Realm, they could be called Giant Beasts.
A step further,
was to enter the ’Fourth Realm’.
An existence like that,
was the level the Level 40 Cabbage Flower Snake had reached.
They could be called: King Beasts.
’Good, good, good,’ Xu Qing thought with delight. ’I never expected that after entering Yong Province a few years ago, the Cabbage Flower Snake would use the power of the Encyclopedia of All Things to unknowingly reach Level 40 and beco a true King Beast. Even though it’s only a Level 1 King Beast, it’s still incredibly powerful.’
Of course, to break through and advance, the Cabbage Flower Snake had devoured a massive amount of flesh and blood. Its primary targets were the Giant Beasts, which were enormous in size and extrely powerful.
"Master."
HUM!
After the Cabbage Flower Snake advanced to Level 40 and beca a Level 1 King Beast, its various Divine Techniques had transford. It could now cross vast distances to communicate and converse directly with Xu Qing’s consciousness.
"What’s the situation on your end?"
Xu Qing was startled at first, then quickly asked.
"Yong Province was originally the domain of the Demon Race, and the Great Zhou Martial Country’s Power here is relatively weak. Therefore, Yong Province itself doesn’t need the protection of the Great Zhou Martial Country’s Emperor Dragon Qi."
The Level 40 Cabbage Flower Snake responded, "However, Yong Province is one of the Kyushu, after all, so it was still affected. Quite a few Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits have appeared."
"I see."
Xu Qing nodded slightly.
"Master."
The Level 40 Cabbage Flower Snake continued, "I plan to continue looking for opportunities to devour all the other King Beasts here in Yong Province. After I raise my Level a few more tis, I will co and rendezvous with you, Master."
"Also,"
"I have now mastered the High-grade Minor Divine Technique ’Space Travel.’ With just a thought from you, Master, I can use Space Travel to appear at your side and assist you in battle."
"Alright."
Xu Qing pondered for a mont, then nodded. "In that case, continue to stay in Yong Province."
"As you command."
The Level 40 Cabbage Flower Snake replied.
As for Ye Langtian.
During this period, Ye Langtian had also been fighting and killing everywhere. He had secretly killed many mbers of the Blood Demon Sect, using the power of the Devouring Demon Technique to devour a great deal of Origin and Patterns.
Unknowingly,
over the past few years,
Ye Langtian had also mastered several dozen Patterns. He had already reached the level of a ’Great Success Venerable,’ but he was still sowhat weaker than Xu Qing.
Additionally,
after breaking through several tis, Ye Langtian had been pulled into the ’Mysterious: Deserted Village’ on each occasion. He passed its trials several tis and mastered a few Minor Divine Techniques.
His power had increased a great deal.
Of course,
Ye Langtian was still a bit weaker than Wang Miao and the Level 40 Cabbage Flower Snake.
However,
as things stood,
among Xu Qing’s many subordinates, Ye Langtian was strong enough to rank third. The first was the newest addition, Wang Miao, and the second was, naturally, the Level 40 Cabbage Flower Snake.
「In a flash, four months passed.」
HUUU...
Xu Qing took a deep breath. He had now successfully cultivated all the remaining Pattern Techniques, raising them all to Level 20 and mastering twenty-eight Patterns.
With the addition of these twenty-eight, and after removing all duplicates and overlaps with his existing ones, the total number of Patterns Xu Qing had mastered reached ’one hundred and eight’.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
And so, Xu Qing’s Cultivation broke through. Layer upon layer of Patterns appeared on his body, weaving together like a net to form a flawless web of Patterns. It was perfect to behold, without a single imperfection.
"I’ve succeeded."
Xu Qing opened his eyes. He felt the changes within his body, sensing the one hundred and eight Patterns weaving together to form a flawless Power of Patterns.
HUM! HUM!
At the sa ti, Xu Qing’s Power of Law grew several tis stronger, reaching a true state of Extre. It could not be improved any further; it had reached the pinnacle of Extre and Perfection.
And at that mont, from the depths of the unseen, Xu Qing sensed a bottleneck—a barrier.
Vaguely, Xu Qing sensed a Power that transcended Patterns.
This Power was ’Law’.
’Law’ was birthed from ’Patterns’.
If ’Patterns’ were the regularities and order ford by the interactions between heaven and earth, the universe, and the Ten Thousand Spirits, then ’Law’ was the fundantal frawork upon which the universe itself was built.
The functioning of Patterns could change depending on the world.
However, ’Law’ was immutable, because ’Law’ was the foundational frawork of the universe.
