“Submit to him?!”
The white-haired elder’s words fell, and the entire entrance to the Myriad Dao Ancient Realm fell silent for a moment. Then, an uproar unlike anything before erupted.
Myriad Laws City was no ordinary immortal city. It was one of the five core regions of the Myriad Dao Ancient Realm, and every dao hall within it represented a complete Great Dao.
In the past, others had obtained the Myriad Laws City Lord Token, but no one had ever caused all three thousand dao halls to tremble at once—much less made the entire immortal city emit a low hum that sounded almost like submission.
An elder of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect suddenly stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the projection of the ancient realm. The shock on his face was nearly impossible to conceal.
“This is impossible. The Myriad Laws City Lord fell long ago. What remains is merely the ancient realm’s rules. How could Ye Chuan make an entire set of rules submit to him?”
The several immortal sect experts beside him were equally unable to understand.
If Ye Chuan had truly taken control of Myriad Laws City, wouldn’t that mean he had become half a master of the Myriad Dao Ancient Realm?
The white-haired elder did not answer immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and connected with the core of the ancient realm, attempting to determine what was happening inside Myriad Laws City.
The entire city continued to tremble. Above the three thousand dao halls, rays of light slowly bent before descending toward the central palace.
A moment later, the white-haired elder opened his eyes again. The shock on his face had not faded—in fact, it was even more pronounced than before.
“It wasn’t a complete submission. Myriad Laws City still belongs to the Myriad Dao Ancient Realm. However, from this moment onward, Ye Chuan possesses the same authority as the Myriad Laws City Lord.”
When those words fell, the surrounding uproar actually ceased.
It wasn’t because they thought the matter was less shocking. Rather, the words “the City Lord’s authority” had left them completely speechless.
The three thousand dao halls within Myriad Laws City, its spatial formations, and even some of its Great Dao laws would henceforth respond to Ye Chuan’s commands.
As long as Ye Chuan wished, he could even revoke the qualifications of other prodigies entering the city and prevent them from entering the dao halls.
Fa Wuxiang was still clearing one hall after another, while Ye Chuan could already decide whether or not to open the doors for him.
What a monster!
When the elder of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect thought of this, his expression immediately grew even uglier. What had originally been the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect’s home turf had now truly changed masters.
“Did he pass Myriad Laws City’s trial?”
“No. In truth, he beat the city into submission. Even this old man has never witnessed anything like it.”
At the center of Myriad Laws City, the remnant of the Myriad Laws City Lord slowly dispersed the last strand of sword intent. The river of laws that had gathered in the void also gradually returned to peace.
His figure had become extremely indistinct, as though a single breeze would be enough to make him completely vanish from this space.
Yet there was no unwillingness on his face. Instead, it seemed as though he had finally seen the answer he had awaited for countless years, and his eyes gradually became peaceful.
“Since its existence, Myriad Laws City has been waiting for someone capable of inheriting the Myriad Laws. This seat originally thought you would become one of them as well.”
“This seat thought you would have to comprehend the Three Thousand Great Daos, but—”
Ye Chuan withdrew the four-hundred-thousand-li Chaos Greatsword and casually asked, “And now?”
The remnant of the Myriad Laws City Lord fell silent for a moment before finally glancing at the shattered spaces of law around him.
“Now, this seat believes that you have shown me another answer.”
Ye Chuan nodded. “Mm. Thanks for the compliment. I simply prefer swallowing things directly.”
He had never wanted to slowly comprehend the dao halls one by one. If something could be refined directly, there was no need to waste so much time.
The remnant of the Myriad Laws City Lord raised his right hand. The scattered radiance of the Great Daos in the void slowly gathered together, eventually forming a white jade token.
There was only a single ancient character—“Law”—on its surface, yet it seemed to contain the entire Myriad Laws City. The phantoms of three thousand dao halls continually flickered within the depths of the token.
“There are countless Great Daos in this world. An ordinary cultivator may spend an entire lifetime choosing only one path among them. Someone with extraordinary talent might perhaps cultivate several at once.”
The remnant of the Myriad Laws City Lord looked at Ye Chuan, his voice gradually spreading throughout the central palace.
“But your Chaos is not one of the Myriad Laws. It existed before the birth of the Myriad Laws.”
The rivers of flame, water, thunder, and starlight simultaneously surged, as if responding to the remnant of the Myriad Laws City Lord’s final judgment.
“You have not merely walked to the end of the Myriad Laws.”
After hearing this, Ye Chuan felt that the statement was rather good. At least it was more cultured than those who could only shout about having the potential to become a Great Emperor.
He reached out and caught the white jade token. An indescribable connection formed instantly, and the outline of the entire Myriad Laws City appeared clearly within his sea of consciousness.
The locations of all three thousand dao halls, every spatial formation in the city, and the flow of the different Great Daos all appeared within Ye Chuan’s perception.
With a single thought, he could open any dao hall. He could also teleport anyone within the city to another location.
【Ye Chuan defeated the remnant of the Myriad Laws City Lord.】
【Successfully devoured the true body of the Myriad Laws.】
【Obtained the Myriad Laws City Lord Token.】
【Obtained the Origin of the Myriad Laws.】
【Broke the highest trial record in Myriad Laws City.】
【Obtained five billion Myriad Dao points.】
【Additionally obtained three billion Myriad Dao points.】
The Prodigy Stele remained silent for a moment. Then, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the score behind Ye Chuan’s name began to climb wildly once again.
Eleven billion.
Thirteen billion.
Fifteen billion.
In the end, that despair-inducing number came to a steady stop at eighteen billion.
【First Place: Ye Chuan.】
【Current Score: Eighteen Billion.】
The entrance to the Myriad Dao Ancient Realm fell silent once again. Everyone stared at that string of golden numbers, having already lost the strength to cry out in shock.
Gu Wufeng currently ranked second, but his score had only just surpassed two hundred million. Even if it were multiplied tenfold, it still would not come close to Ye Chuan’s total.
As for Lin Fan, Fa Wuxiang, and the other prodigies behind him, their scores would have been considered dazzling in any previous expedition into the Myriad Dao Ancient Realm.
But now, every one of them had become nothing more than a backdrop highlighting Ye Chuan.
An immortal sect elder stared upward for a long while before finally asking, “At this rate, could he really raise his score to one hundred billion on the very first day?”
No one around him answered.
That was because, after thinking it over carefully, they discovered that it truly might happen.
When Ye Chuan had first entered the ancient realm, he had still possessed zero points. Yet after passing through the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range and Myriad Laws City, he already had eighteen billion points.
There were still the Sword Burial Valley, the Heavenly Beast Plains, and the unexplored final region remaining. No one knew how much more he might take from them.
In the area occupied by the Supreme Unity Immortal Sect, Lu Taixu looked at the score of eighteen billion. The excitement on his face had gradually turned into numbness.
An elder stood beside him, watching for a long while before speaking in a low voice.
“Sect Master, was dividing two peaks for him still too little?”
Lu Taixu seriously considered the matter for a moment.
“When we return, give him every available piece of land near Moon Goddess Peak. Also raise his access to the sect’s treasury directly to the highest level.”
The elder hesitated. “Isn’t the highest level of access restricted to the Sect Master and a few patriarchs?”
Lu Taixu glanced at him. “Do you really think he is still inferior to those patriarchs?”
The elder opened his mouth, but in the end, he realized that he was completely unable to refute this.
The potential of a Great Emperor.
This was—
Even the old ancestors couldn’t compare.
What if we really managed to nurture an Emperor—Immortal Emperor Ye Chuan?
Heh heh, heh heh heh…
“Sect Master… why do you laugh like such a sleaze?”
