Creating Heavenly Laws

Chapter 634

Marquis Dragon Frost let out a sigh of relief. Faced with a Heavenly Sovereign’s threat, he had no intention of struggling.

Although he possessed many life-preserving techniques, even a Heavenly Sovereign couldn’t completely kill him.

But offending a Heavenly Sovereign would lead to too many future troubles.

“Hmm? Is this a Skyfrost Fruit?”

Marquis Dragon Frost’s pupils contracted as he saw a fruit emitting a chilling aura appear beside him.

The Skyfrost Fruit, a rare treasure at the Great Sovereign level, was extremely useful even for Peak Great Sovereigns.

“Was this Skyfrost Fruit left by that mysterious Heavenly Sovereign? To exchange for those five drops of my vital blood?”

Marquis Dragon Frost put away the Skyfrost Fruit, examining it carefully, a strange feeling rising in his heart. “That mysterious Heavenly Sovereign, isn't he quite benevolent?”

Logically speaking, with a Heavenly Sovereign’s power, directly coming to him and demanding five drops of vital blood wouldn’t require any payment.

For a Great Sovereign, vital blood is indeed precious, but losing five drops of vital blood wouldn’t significantly affect him.

There was absolutely no need for a trade.

The only hidden danger of vital blood being outside the body was the possibility of it becoming a karmic “medium,” allowing other powerhouses to attack him using karmic means through that drop of vital blood.

But this hidden danger had nothing to do with a Heavenly Sovereign.

If a Heavenly Sovereign wanted to kill him, they could have done so just now; there was no need to kill him through karma.

Moreover, karmic killing would result in a reduction of power. Even a powerhouse like a Heavenly Sovereign could at most severely injure him, and that would only be this physical body.

That’s why Marquis Dragon Frost felt somewhat “unaccustomed” and considered that mysterious Heavenly Sovereign benevolent.

As for the rule among the six ancient kingdoms that Heavenly Sovereign level powerhouses are not allowed to interfere, as long as no one knows which Heavenly Sovereign acted, the six ancient kingdoms cannot pursue the matter.

It was the same when Heavenly Sovereign Northern Yin and Heavenly Sovereign Extreme Frost infiltrated the Black Jade Nest earlier.

“I’ve already collected vital blood from twelve Xuanyin Great Sovereign level powerhouses.”

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged. Although he was just a clone at the moment, dealing with Great Sovereign level powerhouses was effortless.

Even so, when Lin Yuan obtained the vital blood of the Xuanyin Ancient Kingdom’s Great Sovereigns, he still left behind some rare treasures as an exchange for their vital blood.

It wasn’t that Lin Yuan was benevolent; rather, doing so would minimize potential hidden dangers.

Indeed, most Great Sovereigns, when faced with a Heavenly Sovereign’s threat, would honestly hand over their vital blood and wouldn’t dare to destroy it afterwards.

But what if a few hot-headed Great Sovereigns appeared who were very unconvinced and blew the matter up, taking it to the Xuanyin Ancient Kingdom’s imperial family?

For Lin Yuan, it would also be trouble.

It might even attract an investigation by the Xuanyin Ancient Kingdom’s Heavenly Sovereigns.

Now, obtaining the vital blood of Xuanyin Great Sovereigns through this kind of transactional approach was the safest method Lin Yuan could think of.

Most importantly, a mere Great Sovereign level rare treasure wasn’t even worth mentioning to Lin Yuan. The two ancient Heavenly Sovereigns, Heavenly Sovereign Extreme Frost and Heavenly Sovereign Northern Yin, had caused Lin Yuan’s net worth to soar by a large margin.

“What a pity, it would definitely be even better if I could get the vital blood of the Xuanyin imperial family.”

Lin Yuan thought to himself, but he was already very satisfied with the more than ten Great Sovereign vital blood samples he had gathered.

Any being capable of cultivating to the Great Sovereign level would certainly not have a thin ancestral bloodline. Even if not as pure as the imperial family, it must be very close, enough for Lin Yuan to comprehend for a very long time in the future.

“Continue to collect more Great Sovereign vital blood.”

Lin Yuan placed the already collected vital blood with another clone for direct comprehension, while this clone continued to travel to other large domains to find more Xuanyin Great Sovereigns.

Collecting the vital blood of Xuanyin Great Sovereigns carries some risks. Lin Yuan naturally wouldn’t bring the vital blood back to the Liyang Ancient Kingdom, but would instead comprehend it directly within the Xuanyin Ancient Kingdom.

Even if something went wrong afterward, he could destroy the clone with a thought, and no one would be able to trace him.

In the capital of the Liyang Kingdom, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in his mansion. While his clone comprehended the vital blood of the Xuanyin Great Sovereigns, his true body was also comprehending it simultaneously.

[Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to comprehend unknown vital blood, increasing your understanding of the Tao of Xuanyin.]

Lin Yuan was immersed in comprehension. Compared to the Liyang bloodline, the Great Dao contained within the Xuanyin bloodline was equally vast, almost equivalent to chaos, or even superior to chaos.

“Xuanyin… Yin…”

Numerous flashes of inspiration and comprehension surged in Lin Yuan’s mind.

[Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to comprehend the Tao of Xuanyin, increasing your understanding of the Tao of Yin.]

In a trance, Lin Yuan saw a distinct black and white Tai Chi diagram, where the Yin side began to ripple, constantly transforming with the Yang side.

While comprehending the vital blood of the Xuanyin Great Sovereigns, Lin Yuan also did not forget to comprehend the Chaos Rune Maps.

So far, he knew two ways to speed up the evolution of the Tao of Tai Chi of Chaos. One was to comprehend the Tao of Xuanyin to compensate for the Tao of Yin, thereby promoting the evolution of the Tao of Tai Chi.

The other was to improve his comprehension of chaotic laws. If chaotic laws reached the third realm, they could also promote the evolution of the Tao of Tai Chi.

The two methods, one internal and one external.

No matter which one, they were both very helpful to Lin Yuan. Even without the evolution of the Tao of Tai Chi of Chaos, such comprehension would still benefit Lin Yuan greatly.

Vast Source World.

The six ancient kingdoms occupy the most central and fertile regions.

As for the areas outside the six ancient kingdoms, there are also large expanses, but compared to the six ancient kingdoms, these areas are slightly more barren. However, some treasure grounds and secret realms will still be born there, which many Great Sovereigns explore and travel to.

After all, the treasure grounds and secret realms contained within the six ancient kingdoms are basically already occupied, and ordinary Great Sovereigns can’t even get close.

Rumbling.

In a winding mountain range, intense spatial-temporal fluctuations suddenly erupted, and an inexplicable aura began to spread in all directions.

This aura immediately attracted the attention of nearby passing Great Sovereigns. These Great Sovereigns all looked towards the source of the spatial-temporal fluctuations, their eyes wide open.

“Treasure ground, this is an anomaly created by a treasure ground, has a new treasure ground been born?”

“At least a first-class treasure ground must be born to emit such an aura, a first-class treasure ground?”

All the Great Sovereigns who witnessed this scene swallowed. A first-class treasure ground? Even the lofty six ancient kingdoms would contend for it with all their might, and they just happened to encounter one?

There are only a few first-class treasure grounds currently occupied by the six ancient kingdoms, making them incredibly rare.

“Let’s go take a look.”

Some Great Sovereigns, their hearts surging, immediately approached the winding mountain range where the treasure ground had been born.

Grand Ling Ancient Kingdom.

Among the six ancient kingdoms, the Grand Ling Ancient Kingdom was the third to be founded. The Ancestor of the Grand Ling Ancient Kingdom was said to be a disciple of the original rank thirteen Ancestor.

And at this moment, the Emperor of the Grand Ling Ancient Kingdom and many Heavenly Sovereigns were gathered in the main hall.

“A new treasure ground has been born here. It should be a first-class treasure ground. The rare treasures it produces have unknown effects, but they should be related to time. Currently, any Great Sovereign approaching the treasure ground beyond a certain distance will be forcibly pulled back to their original position by the power of time.”

“A treasure ground that produces time-related rare treasures, and a first-class treasure ground at that? We must seize this treasure ground.”

“Indeed, it might help us take that final step and break through the time loop. We cannot let go of any rare treasures related to time.”

The Heavenly Sovereigns of the Grand Ling Ancient Kingdom quickly made their decision.

The rare treasures produced by first-class treasure grounds are immensely useful to Heavenly Sovereigns and even Peak Heavenly Sovereigns, and the rare treasures produced by time-related first-class treasure grounds are even more coveted by all Heavenly Sovereign level powerhouses.

To date, among the many first-class treasure grounds mastered by the six ancient kingdoms, there are only five first-class treasure grounds related to time.

On average, that’s not even one per ancient kingdom.

“You want to seize this treasure ground, and other ancient kingdoms also want to seize it.”

The Grand Ling Emperor, seated on his throne, looked down: “Currently, this treasure ground has been controlled. Its specific ownership will still be decided according to the old rules, by the Heavenly Sovereigns of the ancient kingdoms contending for it.”

If a newly born treasure ground is located within the territory of a certain ancient kingdom.

Then, without a doubt, this treasure ground belongs to that ancient kingdom.

But now, the location of this ancient kingdom is outside the six ancient kingdoms, so the ownership of the treasure ground will need to be fought over by the six ancient kingdoms.

Milky Way King’s Residence.

Lin Yuan was in secluded cultivation.

Just then, he received a message from the Emperor of the Liyang Ancient Kingdom.

“Milky Way, come to me immediately.” The Liyang Ancient Kingdom’s Emperor’s tone was quite urgent, and Lin Yuan immediately realized that something big must have happened.

Before long.

Lin Yuan arrived at the imperial palace.

“Hmm?”

Lin Yuan saw many Heavenly Sovereigns waiting outside.

These Heavenly Sovereigns glanced at Lin Yuan, but said nothing more.

Lin Yuan was puzzled, but still walked straight into the imperial palace.

“Milky Way.”

The Liyang Emperor looked at Lin Yuan and said with a smile, “All those Heavenly Sovereigns outside want to see me, but I saw you first.”

“Why is that?” Lin Yuan immediately asked.

“A new first-class treasure ground has appeared, and it’s outside the territories of the six ancient kingdoms,” the Emperor of the Liyang Ancient Kingdom said succinctly.

“A new first-class treasure ground?” Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised.

With his current status, he naturally knew the importance of a first-class treasure ground. The rare treasures it nurtured were of great help even to Heavenly Sovereigns.

Lin Yuan himself was stationed at two first-class treasure grounds, so he was very clear about this.

These were already treasure grounds that had existed for countless years, and the rare treasures they had produced had essentially already circulated once.

However, the rare treasures produced by the newly born treasure ground had never appeared in the six ancient kingdoms before, and this would most certainly cause the Heavenly Sovereigns of the six ancient kingdoms to scramble for it.

“Our six ancient kingdoms have long since established a rule: when a treasure ground with unclear ownership appears, its belonging will be decided according to the established rules.”

The Emperor of the Liyang Ancient Kingdom looked at Lin Yuan and said, “The rule here is that each ancient kingdom selects twelve Heavenly Sovereigns to contend outside the treasure ground.”

“Those Heavenly Sovereigns outside all want me to choose them as the twelve Heavenly Sovereigns sent by our Liyang Ancient Kingdom to contend.”

The Liyang Ancient Kingdom’s Emperor paused for a moment here, then continued, “According to the rules, even if the Heavenly Sovereigns participating in the contention ultimately fail, they are allowed to bring out what they obtain within the treasure ground.”

“I see.”

Lin Yuan’s expression cleared. In other words, regardless of whether they ultimately seized the treasure ground, the Heavenly Sovereigns participating in the contention would definitely gain benefits.

“Of course, the decision of which Heavenly Sovereigns can go to contend rests with me,” the Liyang Ancient Kingdom’s Emperor looked at Lin Yuan and smiled, “Milky Way, are you interested?”
