"What... exactly are you?"
Chen Chang'an returned to his room, gazing curiously at the Law Fragment in his hand.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the Law Fragment left behind by Chen Tian was meant to complement the Law Power he had obtained after fusing with the Fetal Pearl. It would ensure that this power no longer had any limitations.
Judging by the pattern of fusing with the Fetal Pearl, this Law Fragment should correspond to the position of the heart.
As for the Law Power obtained from this position, Chen Chang'an had never fully understood what it was.
"I hope you can give me the answer."
Chen Chang'an smiled faintly. With a thought, the Law Fragment instantly transformed into energy and surged into his heart.
"So it really is here."
After fusing with the Law Fragment, Chen Chang'an finally understood why the Law Power from this position had never provided him with any tangible abilities.
Because this Law Power was the Law of Eternity.
The Law of Eternity, as the name suggested, meant something that never changed, never ceased to exist, and could never be destroyed.
Comprehending the Law of Eternity was equivalent to possessing an undying body. If the Law of Eternity were to reach perfection, one could truly become immortal.
"Strange!"
"I only gained the Law of Eternity after fusing with the Fetal Pearl."
"But even before fusing with it, I already had an undying body."
"Could it be that these abilities were already within me, and the Fetal Pearl merely awakened them?"
Chen Chang'an suddenly felt that these powers weren’t granted by the Fetal Pearl—they had always existed within him.
The Fetal Pearl was merely a key, unlocking these abilities and his path of cultivation.
As for why nine Fetal Pearls had separated from him while he was still in his mother’s womb, Chen Chang'an didn’t know. But one thing was certain—his true identity couldn’t be simple.
"It seems I’ll only understand the truth when I reach the end." Chen Chang'an sighed helplessly, feeling as though his life was shrouded in mist.
Every time he tried to get closer, the mist only grew thicker, becoming more and more unfathomable.
"Now that I’ve fused with the Law of Eternity Fragment, can I withstand an attack from a Celestial Emperor with my current strength?"
Before this, Chen Chang'an had never been sure just how powerful his body was—whether he could remain unscathed even against opponents stronger than a Celestial King.
Now that he knew he possessed the Law of Eternity, his uncertainty shifted to whether he could withstand a Celestial Emperor.
"Ah, whatever. It’s not like I can die anyway, so why overthink it?"
"Tsk, the feeling of being unkillable… is pretty great."
"Might as well go wild!"
"Heh heh heh!"
Chen Chang'an sprawled comfortably on his bed when he suddenly sensed Chu Xiao approaching. He got up and walked out of his room.
"Chu Xiao, do you need something?"
"Master Chen, the Tower Master has requested your presence."
"The Tower Master? Inviting me for a meal?"
"Yes."
"Alright. The Tower Master’s food must be even better. Free food is always welcome."
Chen Chang'an was quite fond of the delicacies at the Heavenly Pride Tower—not only were they delicious, but they also aided cultivation.
Chu Xiao led Chen Chang'an to the very top of the Heavenly Pride Tower, where Lu Xiaoyun’s private quarters were located.
As soon as the door opened, Chen Chang'an was hit by a dense wave of immortal spiritual energy. The feast this time was likely even better than the one he had shared with Da Huang and the others before.
Without hesitation, Chen Chang'an walked over and took a seat, grinning. "This is a bit embarrassing, making you spend so much again."
"No need to be polite. These things are just delicacies to me—they don’t provide any real benefits."
"And I’m not that poor."
"Brother Chen, please enjoy."
Ever since their battle, Lu Xiaoyun could no longer act as Chen Chang'an’s senior.
After all, this monstrous genius was someone he couldn’t defeat, no matter what he tried.
"You didn’t invite me here just for a meal, did you?" Chen Chang'an asked between bites.
"One should not speak while eating, nor—"
"You sure have a lot of rules."
"It’s a matter of upbringing."
"Fine, I have no upbringing. I wasn’t raised by my parents, and my master… well, my master doesn’t eat."
"Tell you what—you stop eating first, say what you need to say, then eat afterward. That way, you won’t be breaking any rules."
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoyun could only sigh helplessly. After all, morality was meant to restrain oneself, not others.
"I called you here to discuss something."
"The Meng Family is planning to make a move against you."
"I estimate they’ll arrive in Heavenly Pride City within seven days."
The Meng Family was coming for him?
Weren’t they just delivering themselves to his doorstep?
Even if they didn’t act, Chen Chang'an had already planned to pay them a visit.
"They’re coming that fast?"
"Yes. The Meng Family can’t set up a teleportation array within Heavenly Pride City, but outside, I have no control over what they do."
"With a teleportation array, their arrival will naturally be much quicker."
A teleportation array?
That was indeed a convenient thing, though setting one up was no easy feat. Most people wouldn’t have the means to do so.
If not for Heavenly Pride City’s importance, the Meng Family wouldn’t have gone to such lengths.
"Does your Heavenly Pride City have a teleportation array too?" Chen Chang'an asked curiously.
"It does. Do you need to use it?"
"However, the teleportation array here doesn’t connect to the Profound Heaven Domain."
Oh?
The teleportation array in Heavenly Pride City linked to another region? That might actually come in handy later.
"Good. I’ll let you know when I need it."
"Aside from the Meng Family, is there anything else?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"There is. You now qualify to participate in the higher-tier Heavenly Pride Rankings."
"My suggestion is that you go as soon as possible."
"I’ve already picked a location for you—the Flowing Clouds Domain."
The Flowing Clouds Domain?
Chen Chang'an wasn’t very familiar with the Ancient Immortal Domain. He only knew it was divided into numerous regions.
Beyond that, there were many blessed lands and immortal paradises, though most had already been claimed by powerful factions. The few that remained undiscovered were exceedingly rare.
"Why the Flowing Clouds Domain?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"Because the teleportation array leads directly there."
"The Heavenly Pride Tower in the Flowing Clouds Domain is one of the ten major towers, granting direct access to the Heavenly Pride Supreme Rankings."
"With your strength, you might as well aim for the Supreme Rankings directly."
Chen Chang'an nodded while eating. The Heavenly Pride Supreme Rankings were definitely on his agenda. If he could reach the Flowing Clouds Domain quickly, it would save him a lot of time.
"I’ll go after settling matters in the Profound Heaven Domain."
"Anything else?"
"Hmm… nothing else, really."
"Alright, I’m done eating. You can go ahead."
"Very well, I—"
Lu Xiaoyun nodded and picked up his chopsticks, only to discover that the entire table of delicacies had been devoured by Chen Chang'an.
What the hell was he supposed to eat now?
Air?
"Aren't… you choking on all that?"
"Not really. Just barely enough to fill the gaps in my teeth."
"How about we prepare another table of the same dishes?"
"Gone. There won’t be another spread like this for the next hundred years."
"Oh, what a shame. The flavor was good—just a bit lacking in quantity."
"Damn cheapskates!"
