Chapter 1806: The Ten Great Laws
Just as Mingshi Yin was about to enter the upper core, a cultivator, who was carrying his luggage, hurried past and saw Mingshi Yin.
The cultivator asked, “Why aren’t you leaving? The Great Void is already falling. It’s said that hundreds of thousands of people and countless fierce beasts died in Zhao Yang Hall.”
Mingshi Yin turned to the cultivator and asked, “Are you leaving as well?”
“If I don’t leave now, when should I leave? I finally understand that the Sacred Temple’s words can’t be trusted. Everyone’s leaving now to seek refuge in the nine domains. Are you going to stay here and wait for death?” the cultivator asked.
“I’m just looking around. I’ll leave in a while,” Mingshi Yin said.
Just as the cultivator was about to leave, Mingshi Yin said, “Wait, I have a question. Do you know where the people of the Sacred Temple went?”
“I don’t know. If they were around and did their job, would we have to leave! Screw them! We might as well believe in the Unholy!” the cultivator said before leaving in a huff.
“…”
Mingshi Yin looked up and saw quite a number of cultivators flying in the sky. After the Great Void began to fall, he could sense that the energy here had gotten thin. He had to hurry. Otherwise, the upper core would crumble completely.
Mingshi Yin was relieved when he felt the rebound force that pushed against him when he tried to enter the upper core.
“Heh! I’m going to take you down!”
Swoosh!
Mingshi Yin rushed forward with his Separation Hook in hand. He felt heavy resistance like a net that stopped him.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Energy seals shot out of the Separation Hook.
It did not take long before he successfully entered the upper core. Unlike the others, the environment in the upper core was gentle and filled with vitality. Lush vegetation could be seen everywhere, and they stretched endlessly.
Mingshi Yin looked at his surroundings in confusion.
“This…”
Mingshi Yin did not understand what was going on. He recalled Si Wuya’s situation and did not dwell on the matter. He sat cross-legged and concentrated on comprehending the Great Dao.
The vitality energy in the surroundings began to converge toward Mingshi Yin.
The process seemed rather smooth.
…
More and more fierce beasts made their way to the nine domains.
Cultivators from Xuanyi Palace, Shang Zhang Hall, Tu Wei Hall, and Xihe Hall had all migrated on a large scale.
Billions of cultivators made their way to the nine domains and formed an alliance with the local cultivators to fight against the fierce beasts.
After the human alliance was formed, commanders were appointed and deployed to various places to command the battle.
The commanders held various meetings. To prevent the war between the humans and the fierce beasts from getting worse, they began to negotiate an agreement. They allowed fierce beasts that were not hostile toward humans and their cities to seek refuge in the nine domains. After the disaster ended, everyone would return to their respective places.
The nine domains were not as vast as the Great Void and the Unknown Land. It was rather difficult to accommodate billions of cultivators and fierce beasts.
Apart from this problem, the alliance also needed to deal with stubborn cultivators and fierce beasts who opposed the migration and representative plan. Needless to say, these rebels were mostly cultivators from the Great Void.
…
Four hours passed in just a blink of an eye.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion rang from Qiang Yu Hall as the upper core shattered.
The cultivators who had yet to leave looked in the direction of Qiang Yu Hall, wondering what happened. Although they did not know what happened, they saw it as another sign that the world was ending. With that, they quickly sped out and left.
Meanwhile, Mingshi Yin hovered in the air, sensing the surging power of the laws. When he opened his eyes, he saw all kinds of strange images around him. Some were of flames, some were of water, and some were of towering trees. Then, they suddenly disappeared and returned to the earth.
“This is…” Mingshi Yin was puzzled. “What kind of law is it?”
In Mingshi Yin’s opinion, only the law of space and the law of time could be regarded as the great law or the supreme law. He looked at the images that appeared again and wondered what kind of law he had comprehended.
In any case, the process of comprehending the Great Dao was much smoother than Mingshi Yin had expected.
“Forget it. I don’t want to think too much. Let’s leave this place first. I’ll slowly study it when I have the time,” Mingshi Yin muttered as he looked to the left and right. When the light around him dimmed, he slowly lowered his altitude.
The earth continued to shake.
Just as Mingshi Yin was about to sneak away, he heard the sound of applause from the left.
“Congratulations, congratulations! Congratulations, Mr. Mingshi, on comprehending the Great Dao!”
Mingshi Yin spun around to look at the source of the voice as a sense of unease rose in his heart. “Huh? It’s you?”
Mingshi Yin saw the other party walk out with a smile on his face. About a dozen Templars stood behind the other party.
The other party was none other than Guan Jiu, the only remaining survivor among the Four Supremes of the Sacred Temple.
Guan Jiu smiled and said, “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Mingshi Yin frowned and asked, “Why were you waiting for me?”
“His Majesty has ordered me to invite Mr. Mingshi to the Sacred Temple for a chat,” Guan Jiu replied with a smile.
“I don’t have time. The world is in chaos now. I still have to save the people. I have no time to chat with you. Goodbye,” Mingshi Yin said before he turned around to leave.
Guan Jiu chuckled. “Please wait.”
“Wait my as*!”
Swoosh!
Mingshi Yin shot into the sky like a shooting star without saying another word.
Guan Jiu: “?”
The ten Templars were also dumbfounded.
‘This guy doesn’t play by the rules at all!’
When Guan Jiu recovered his senses, he shed all pretenses and said in a deep voice, “Go after him!”
“Understood!”
Guan Jiu led the Templars and quickly chased after Mingshi Yin.
Guan Jiu was one of the Four Supremes of the Sacred Temple, after all. Although Mingshi Yin had comprehended the Great Dao, he was now at most close to becoming a supreme being. He was still no match for Guan Jiu at the moment. It was not surprising that Guan Jiu soon caught up.
Mingshi Yin turned to look back after flying 100 miles. He cursed, “Shameless!”
Mingshi Yin dove into the forest and slammed his hand on the ground. Perhaps, he had just comprehended the Great Dao, the trees within a radius of 30,000 feet grew rapidly.
Guan Jiu and the others flew over and looked down at the forest. He said, “Mr. Mingshi, stop resisting. The Great Emperor wants to see you.”
Mingshi Yin did not reply.
The forest was silent.
Guan Jiu scoffed coldly before he launched a light disk that had a diameter of 30,000 feet.
Boom!
The light disk fell on the forest. The trees and mountains in the forest were flattened in just a blink of an eye.
After retrieving the light disk, Guan Jiu looked down but did not see anything. He was surprised.
The Templars looked at each other in confusion as well.
It did not make sense. After all, they had clearly seen Mingshi Yin enter the forest. It was impossible for him to escape if he was in the forest. Where was he?
Guan Jiu felt something was amiss. He landed on the ground and heightened his senses before searching his surroundings. Alas, no matter how hard or how long he searched, he did not sense anything at all. There were no sounds of heartbeats or breathing nor was there the temperature of a human body.
Guan Jiu’s expression turned grim immediately. Before he came here, Ming Xin had emphasized the importance of the ten owners of the Great Void Seeds. It did not matter if the world ended as long as he brought Mingshi Yin back. At that time, he had been confident he would be able to bring Mingshi Yin back. He did not expect Mingshi Yin to escape under his nose.
‘This… How am I going to explain this to His Majesty?’
Guan Jiu slowly walked forward. A faint glow that spanned 10,000 feet appeared under his feet on the ground. He could even hear the sounds of ants crawling, but he still could not find Mingshi Yin.
“Search for him!”
The ten Templars flew around, searching frantically for Mingshi Yin. After 15 minutes, they returned to Guan Jiu. They shook their heads as they looked at him.
“Lord Guan, we can’t find him!”
“…”
Guan Jiu frowned. “How cunning!”
“Lord Guan, what should we do now?”
The Templars were worried. If they returned empty-handed, who knew how Ming Xin would punish them?
Guan Jiu paced back and forth. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, “Let’s go back to the Sacred Region first.”
“Understood!”
Guan Jiu led the ten Templars and flew into the sky, disappearing in just a blink of an eye.
After a long time had passed, a hand suddenly broke out from the ground where Guan Jiu had been standing earlier.
Mingshi Yin crawled out of the ground, spitting and coughing as he cursed, “Damn it! Good thing I’m smart. Heh, you’re too inexperienced to go against me!”
Mingshi Yin was delighted that he escaped Guan Jiu.
Mingshi Yin did not expect that a figure would appear behind him. The illusory figure gradually solidified and said, “Good move.”
Mingshi Yin shuddered and spun around. He saw the other party smiling and standing with his hands on his back. He said, “You scared me to death! What’s wrong with you people? Why are you always doing this?”
The man said, “The law of the five elements. Not bad, not bad.”
Mingshi Yin frowned and said, “Who are you? Don’t delay me. I still have things to do so don’t waste my time.”
Mingshi Yin felt the man was dangerous and did not want to tangle with the man. He was about to leave when the space rippled and restrained him.
The man smiled and said, “Although the law of the five elements is a great law. It’s also a part of the law of space.”
Mingshi Yin was shocked. “You… Who are you? Let me go!”
The man maintained his smile and said, “Everyone calls me Great Emperor Ming Xin.”
Mingshi Yin: “…”
‘It’s over! I won’t be able to escape!’
“Great Emperor Ming Xin?” Mingshi Yin had only been to the Sacred Temple twice. Both times, he only saw Ming Xin vaguely from far, and Ming Xin’s face could not be seen at all.
Ming Xin waved his hand casually as he said, “Let’s go. The Sacred Region needs you.”
“No, no, no!” Mingshi Yin struggled with all his might, but he could not break free at all. Then, he said, “Sir, you’re magnanimous. Why do you have to stoop to my level? I have more important things to do.”
“There’s nothing more important than my matters,” Ming Xin said as he waved his hand.
A golden runic passage appeared in the sky immediately.
‘He can directly open a runic passage?!’
In fact, Ming Xin was a divine emperor who was also a skilled runemaster. Not only that, he controlled the great law of space as well.
Ming Xin said indifferently, “The ten great laws have been comprehended. You’ve comprehended the indispensable law of the five elements that give birth to all things in the world.”
“???”
Mingshi Yin was slightly stunned. After that, he added, “I’m not indispensable. I’m in fact as dispensable as farts…”
No matter how cunning Mingshi Yin was, how could he escape from Ming Xin who was an old fox? No matter what he said, Ming Xin was unmoved.
Ming Xin restrained Mingshi Yin and flew into the runic passage in the sky before they vanished from sight.
