252: Sudden situation

Xun Xiuyuan and Xie Nanqiao sat side by side, looking at Xie Cangtian.

"Ancestor of the Li Family?"

Xun Xiuyuan asked, puzzled.

Xie Cangtian nodded: "During that battle, I wasn't a God King yet, but two Super God Kings came specifically to deal with me. This is the treatment Super Geniuses receive on the Extraterritorial Battlefield."

Xun Xiuyuan couldn't help but frown. He thought, 'You can just tell the story, no need to boast.'

Xie Nanqiao, however, was very interested in these matters and interjected: "And then? Did you defeat those two Super God Kings?"

Xie Cangtian looked at Xie Nanqiao. He thought, 'You don't even call me Ancestor, let alone Master. Although those insights into the Laws were left by other ancestors of the Xie Family, I was the one who passed them on to you. You don't even have a shred of basic respect, still calling me 'you, you, you.'

"Although I integrated nine Laws into myself, I was still no match for a Super God King. A Super God King, after all, is a God King of nine Laws."

At this point, Xie Cangtian couldn't help but glance at Xun Xiuyuan, thinking to himself: 'Not everyone is as abnormal as your husband.'

Hearing this, Xie Nanqiao curled her lip in disdain: "You talked for ages and still couldn't beat them. Xiao Yuan, can you defeat two Super God Kings?"

Xun Xiuyuan patted Xie Nanqiao's head: "Even if I can't win, I won't lose."

Xie Nanqiao immediately turned to glare at Xie Cangtian.

It was as if she was saying: 'Look, you still claim to be a Super Genius?'

Xie Cangtian no longer paid attention to the two in front of him and continued on his own: "The Ancestor of the Li Family saw me surrounded and tried his best to rescue me. The battlefield stretched further and further, until finally an unknown Initial Saint descended and trapped the Ancestor of the Li Family in a void."

Hearing this, Xun Xiuyuan asked: "Their target was originally the Ancestor of the Li Family, wasn't it?"

Xie Cangtian nodded: "Afterward, when I recounted the events with the Ancestor of the Li Family, I also realized that the Ancestor of the Li Family was their ultimate target. Because the Ancestor of the Li Family had obtained a secret treasure, the time disc, which allowed him to comprehend the Law of Time very well. The Ancestor of the Li Family had already been comprehending the Law of Time for a long time, and after obtaining the time disc, some people feared that the Ancestor of the Li Family would achieve Initial Saint, so they orchestrated this operation."

Xie Cangtian smiled bitterly at this point: "When I rushed back to the Great World, intending to seek help from my clansmen, I discovered that all of our clansmen from the Initial Domain on the Extraterritorial Battlefield had been targeted and eliminated, and even our ancestral land had been exiled by the three races."

A fierce glint flashed in Xun Xiuyuan's eyes: "These traitors are utterly ruthless, and the Ghost Emperor and the Azure Dragon King are short-sighted fools, destroying their own defenses. I, Xun Xiuyuan, will not give them two such an opportunity to waver."

Xie Cangtian looked at Xun Xiuyuan, feeling very gratified.

Xun Xiuyuan saw that Xie Cangtian had said enough: "What realm are you in now? And you still haven't broken open that void space that trapped the Ancestor of the Li Family?"

Xie Cangtian said: "I am still in the Super God King Realm. These past years, I've tried to comprehend the Law of Time, but indeed, I've made no progress. Instead, I've comprehended a new Law, the Law of Protection. Although it hasn't fully integrated into my inner world, I've comprehended it to a very profound level. So my strength should be at the peak among Super God Kings."

Xun Xiuyuan looked at Xie Cangtian speechlessly: "You guarded the Ancestor of the Li Family in that broken place for thousands of years, and so you comprehended a Law of Protection?"

Xie Cangtian said awkwardly: "It seems so."

Xun Xiuyuan's heart stirred, and he said: "Senior Xie, according to what you're saying, there should be countless Laws between heaven and earth. Why does it seem to be the limit once one reaches nine?"

Xie Cangtian pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "The Laws between heaven and earth appear to be many, but they are not. The eleven Laws of Five Elements, Light, Darkness, Space, Time, Life, and Soul are the primary Laws between heaven and earth."

"As long as these eleven Laws are thoroughly comprehended, they encompass all other derivative Laws. Like the Law of Protection I just mentioned, it is actually a derivative Law of the Law of Life."

Xun Xiuyuan looked at his own Laws. Besides the eleven Laws Xie Cangtian just mentioned, there was also the Law of Strength.

"What about the Law of Strength?"

Xie Cangtian nodded: "The Law of Strength and the Law of Slaughter are both special Laws, comprehended later through battle. The Law of Strength is a derivative Law of the Law of Life, and the Law of Slaughter is a derivative Law of the Law of the Soul."

Xun Xiuyuan asked, puzzled: "Comprehending all eleven Laws means reaching the limit?"

"It's the limit of the God King Realm. After entering the Saint realm, even if derivative Laws integrate into the inner world, it will greatly perfect the growth of the inner world, and there is no end to it."

"Then is it possible to master all Laws? If so, would the inner world be even larger than a Great World?" Xun Xiuyuan's eyes held a hint of anticipation.

Xie Cangtian shook his head and said: "Theoretically it's feasible, but each step comes at an enormous cost, especially the further you go, the harder it gets. Laws are interconnected and mutually restrictive; to master them all is almost impossible."

Xun Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

Finally, Xun Xiuyuan urged Xie Cangtian to stay in the Heavenly Palace for a while longer. The Ancestor of the Li Family hadn't changed for thousands of years, so there was no rush.

Xie Cangtian, seeing this, also nodded in agreement.

Chen Sheng and Chen Li had already been waiting outside the hall. They were very happy to see Xie Cangtian, as the three of them were from the same era and all from the Initial Domain.

Soon, Xie Cangtian was led by the Chen brothers to the Preaching Academy in the abyss.

Xun Xiuyuan did not stay in the Heavenly Palace but returned to Xiuyuan City.

Ji Yunshu was still young and had always lived in Xiuyuan City.

Wen Ruyu and Bai Xiaoou's bellies were already very large, and their due dates were both next month.

Xie Nanqiao did not enter a secret realm for secluded cultivation again, but instead stayed with Bai Xiaoou and Wen Ruyu, saying she wanted to learn.

The one-year-old Ji Yunshu could already walk unsteadily, swaying with every step.

Xun Xiuyuan held Ji Yunshu and played with her while picking up a voice transmission jade to listen.

Finally, Xun Xiuyuan said to the three women: "The army that conquered the Zhu Xie Alliance has returned. I'm going to the Heavenly Palace."

After speaking, Xun Xiuyuan's figure had vanished without a trace.

Wen Ruyu looked worriedly in the direction Xun Xiuyuan had disappeared: "He left so urgently. There must be a problem."

Wen Ruyu's guess was not wrong. The voice transmission was Ling Kuang's voice: "Palace Master, we have returned to the Heavenly Palace, and Xiao Wu is unconscious."

The Xiao Wu Ling Kuang referred to was Ling Baoer.

Ling Baoer's strength, even if not comparable to a God King, had almost no rivals in the Heavenly God Realm. She was a Heavenly God of seven Laws, and three of those Laws had been comprehended for many years.

Therefore, Xun Xiuyuan had left in a hurry after hearing the voice transmission.
