Above the Cloudscape, within the ranks of the Peace Army, three Heaven-Transcendent battle generals surged forward.
“Understood!”
The three battle generals were brothers, all members of the Dragonborn race.
Ji Wuqing held her treasured sword horizontally before her brows. Flames soared from the blade, and the surging pressure sent her long hair flying. Behind her, it seemed as though hundreds upon hundreds of black arms had grown.
“Flying Sands Across Thirty Thousand Miles!”
The sword left its sheath, and yellow sand rose from the ground, filling the sky!
The sand transformed into swords, sweeping across thousands of miles with unstoppable might!
Amid this overwhelming and murderous spectacle, a formidable power distinct from divine force began to flow.
Golden Sea Immortal Lord’s eyes widened on the spot.
“Immortal force! That’s a Law! You’ve broken through to the Immortal Lord realm?!”
Golden Sea Immortal Lord recalled how Ji Wuqing had fought her way out of the hidden base of the Kindling Society, surviving by the narrowest of margins.
At the time, she had clearly still been in the Heaven-Transcendent realm.
Apparently, in that life-or-death crisis, the enormous obstacle standing between Ji Wuqing and the Immortal Lord realm had been shattered by sheer force!
“Humans truly are terrifying…”
He was the only one who could hear those words.
Immortal Lord was merely an honorific title. The true name of this realm was “Law Sovereign”—not “palm technique” in the sense of a martial art, but the meaning of “wielding the Laws.”
Before reaching the Law Sovereign realm, cultivators comprehended and employed Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend abilities. In essence, they were borrowing the great power of nature and the heavens.
After reaching the Law Sovereign realm, however, cultivators fused together the abilities they had comprehended and distilled from them Laws unique to themselves!
Ji Wuqing’s “Flying Sands Across Thirty Thousand Miles” was precisely her Law.
Although it was called “Thirty Thousand Miles,” the range of this Law actually extended far beyond that.
A terrifying sandstorm swept across the entire Ji ancestral lands. Within the storm, sword light flashed coldly, and killing intent surged in every direction.
The three Heaven-Transcendent generals of the Dragonborn race unleashed every technique at their disposal. Divine arts emerged one after another, and spiritual treasures shattered in succession.
Yet before a Law, they could do nothing but admit defeat.
“Immortal Lord, save us!”
Seeing that Ji Wuqing’s power showed no sign of weakening and that the killing intent within the sandstorm continued to tear at them, the three generals had no choice but to call for Golden Sea Immortal Lord’s help.
“Useless trash!”
Golden Sea Immortal Lord snorted coldly and casually tossed out a cloth bag.
The cloth bag flew high into the sky and expanded to a thousand meters across. Its mouth opened wide, and a fierce wind blew out from within.
All the sand, killing intent, and even Ji Wuqing’s still-immature immortal force were sucked into the bag.
Ji Wuqing gritted her teeth and tried to cast her Law again, but she had already run out of immortal force.
She was injured to begin with and could not fight for long.
“Ugh…”
Using her sword for support, she dropped to one knee, her body heaving violently.
Within the barrier formed by the war drums’ thunderous beats, the members of the Ji family watched Ji Wuqing fight the Peace Bureau alone. Not one of them stepped forward to help.
Although not everyone had chosen to preserve themselves at the expense of others, those with enough courage to charge forward had been stopped as well.
“The young mistress has already become an Immortal Lord… What a pity, what a terrible pity!”
“With the young mistress’s age and talent, if she continued cultivating, she might even have had a chance to become an Immortal King!”
“How could ‘they’ ever allow our human race to produce an Immortal King?”
“Are we really supposed to stand by and watch them take the young mistress away and torture her?”
Outside the barrier, the various factions waited eagerly to watch the Ji family suffer.
When Ji Wuqing revealed her Immortal Lord-level cultivation, many forces were left astonished.
“The Ji family has gained another Immortal Lord!”
“What a pity. It’ll be gone in the blink of an eye. Ha!”
“She has only herself to blame. She could have remained the Ji family’s young mistress, but instead she joined the Kindling Society. She brought this upon herself!”
Golden Sea Immortal Lord withdrew the cloth bag and looked down arrogantly at Ji Wuqing, who had exhausted her strength.
“Stop struggling, Ji Wuqing. No one the Peace Bureau wants has ever escaped us!”
Ji Wuqing answered with a cold laugh.
“I believe no one has ever escaped. But I wonder—has anyone ever failed to survive capture?”
Before her voice had even faded, the violet blade of Ji Wuqing’s treasured sword was already slashing toward her neck.
Golden Sea Immortal Lord reacted instantly and thrust out one hand.
A massive golden hand appeared out of thin air, reaching Ji Wuqing in the blink of an eye.
Yet the hand that arrived before it was her father’s.
“Xiaoyue!”
Ji Baiming seized Ji Wuqing’s wrist, forcibly suppressing the immortal force within her and preventing her from taking her own life.
“Dad?”
Ji Baiming swung his other hand toward the sky. A tremendous wave of immortal force erupted, knocking Golden Sea Immortal Lord’s golden hand away.
A look of confusion crossed Golden Sea Immortal Lord’s face. As he stared at Ji Baiming, surprise gradually filled his eyes.
The aura surrounding Ji Baiming continued to rise.
Everyone had believed Ji Baiming to be a low-level Immortal Lord. But today, in order to save his daughter, he no longer concealed his true cultivation.
“Family Head! You can’t!”
“Family Head! Don’t act rashly! The Ji family cannot afford to become enemies with the Peace Army!”
“Ji Baiming! Do you intend to watch all these people be buried alongside you and your daughter?!”
Several Ji family elders tried to stop Ji Baiming from revealing his true strength.
But Ji Baiming had already made up his mind.
“Where is Xiaori?”
Down in Wan’an City, a handsome young man rode a flying artifact into the sky.
“Dad! I’m here!”
“From this moment onward, you are the Ji family’s family head!”
Ji Xiaori struggled to contain the smile at the corners of his mouth.
“W-Wait…”
“Don’t refuse! This is the family head’s golden command token!”
A golden token flew into Ji Xiaori’s hand.
Ji Xiaori caught it, and his expression immediately changed. Pointing at Ji Baiming and Ji Wuqing, he shouted in a stern voice:
“Ji Wuqing! Ji Baiming!
By the authority of the patriarch of the Ji clan and the family head of the Ji family’s main branch, I hereby expel the two of you from the family!
You are ordered to change your surnames immediately. From this day forth, you have no further connection to the Ji family!”
Immediately afterward, Ji Xiaori’s expression transformed into one of obsequious flattery. He bared his teeth in a huge grin at Golden Sea Immortal Lord in the sky.
“Golden Sea Immortal Lord, hear this! The Ji family will never oppose the Peace Army. Whoever you want, we’ll hand over! Are these two enough? If not, just name your target, and I’ll bring them to you myself!”
Golden Sea Immortal Lord’s gaze swept across the Ji ancestral lands before moving to the various factions of the Vermilion Purple Star observing from beyond the barrier.
With so many people watching, it would indeed be inappropriate for the Peace Bureau to continue making things difficult for the Ji family.
But that was not important. Golden Sea Immortal Lord cared only about whether he could capture Ji Wuqing. The matter concerning the Kindling Society was of paramount importance, and he truly did not take the Ji family seriously.
Ji Baiming gave Ji Xiaori a satisfied smile.
Ji Wuqing also let out a bitter laugh.
Her younger brother had wanted to become family head for a long time. Today, he had finally gotten his wish.
Regardless of how much personal feeling had gone into Ji Xiaori’s decision, it had undeniably preserved the Ji family.
Ji Baiming retrieved the battle armor and belongings he had discarded moments earlier, then stood shoulder to shoulder with his daughter.
“Today, you and I, father and daughter, will fight the Peace Army!”
y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”

At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it.
