Creating Heavenly Laws

Actually, calling it an "ultimate weapon" might not be entirely accurate.

But at the very least, it is a rare treasure of the Twelve-Star level.

Only entities that surpass the Eleven-Star level can resist the rules of the two-dimensional world.

"This bronze compass has probably been in this two-dimensional world for a very long time.

Was it something that was lost here in the past?

"Lin Yuan speculated.

The two-dimensional world he currently inhabited was originally a "blank sheet of paper" ejected from the distant Taiyuan Ruins beyond the universe.

It crossed a vast chaotic void and eventually squeezed into the human civilization's universe.

During that journey, who knows where this "blank sheet" traveled, how many powerful beings and treasures it absorbed like Lin Yuan, or what places it passed through?

But one thing is certain.

Only Twelfth-Rank beings who have transcended the river of time can escape being reduced to two dimensions.

As for treasures, weapons, and rare artifacts of the Twelve-Star level?

If they are not actively controlled by their owners, once they completely fall into the two-dimensional world, they might become like this bronze compass before him—losing their divine power, with only a faint mysterious aura remaining.

Even the strongest beings, if they do not resist and allow themselves to be sucked into the "blank sheet" and into the two-dimensional world, will likely have their powers severely suppressed.

"This bronze compass...

Is it a Twelve-Star treasure?

Or possibly even an ultimate weapon?

" Lin Yuan found it hard to believe.

In the main world, Twelve-Star treasures are incredibly precious, especially ultimate weapons, which are the foundation of peak clans.

Wielding an ultimate weapon allows one to unleash attacks at the strongest level; permanent spatial rifts on small to medium-sized battlefields of alien races are created this way.

So far, the only opportunity Lin Yuan had to come into contact with Twelve-Star treasures and weapons was when he cleared the fifth level of the Devil Jade Tower.

As a Ninth-Rank who had comprehended the rules of time, Lin Yuan's reward for clearing the fifth level of the Tower was a selection of several Twelve-Star treasures.

Lin Yuan could choose one from the list.

Even so, Lin Yuan had not yet made a decision because this opportunity was too valuable.

And now—A bronze compass that could very well be an ultimate weapon appeared before him so easily?

Lin Yuan believed that this bronze compass was likely an ultimate weapon because it was not naturally formed.

It was clearly forged after the fact; otherwise, it would not have such a well-defined shape like a compass.

An ultimate weapon is often forged from several or even dozens of Twelve-Star rare treasures and materials.

"If I manage to leave this world, could I take this bronze compass with me?

" Lin Yuan felt his heart race.

This was a Twelve-Star rare treasure weapon!

In the two-dimensional world, it seemed ordinary, with only a faint mysterious aura.

But once it leaves the two-dimensional world and enters the main universe, it would become a treasure weapon of immense divine power.

In the main universe, due to that artifact from beyond the universe, human civilization's strongest were almost at war with the strongest of other peak clans.

ℝOne can imagine how valuable such a treasure is.

"It's not just this bronze compass; the Blood Rain Tea Tree of the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom is probably also a Twelve-Star rare treasure.

"Lin Yuan suddenly thought.

Even a few tea leaves contained a faint mysterious aura, so the Blood Rain Tea Tree as the source must be something on par with the bronze compass.

"Do the powerhouses of the myriad races know about this?

"Lin Yuan wondered, but he had not heard anything about it from Deputy Tower Master Nalan.

Lin Yuan's acquisition of the bronze compass was extremely fortuitous; even if other powerhouses of the myriad races had similar encounters, they would likely keep it secret.

As for the national treasures of the various ancient kingdoms, such as the Blood Rain Tea Tree of the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom, so far, the strongest among the powerhouses of the myriad races are only Witch Sovereigns, with no one yet reaching the level of Witch Ancestor.

In this situation, they cannot directly challenge the authority of the ancient kingdoms.

But Lin Yuan speculated that this day wouldn't be far off.

As time passes, more and more powerhouses of the myriad races will become Witch Ancestors.

Some of those Eleventh-Rank beings, with their mastery of power, could forcibly surpass Witch Ancestors by a large margin.

At that point, treasures like the bronze compass, Twelve-Star rare treasures, will certainly no longer be hidden.

"This two-dimensional world should contain many more Twelve-Star rare treasures.

" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Each of the Twelve Ancient Kingdoms has its own national treasure, and there are also scattered treasures like the bronze compass in Lin Yuan's possession.

"No matter.

""At least I have one now.

"Lin Yuan had no grand ambitions for other Twelve-Star rare treasures.

At this moment, his attention was fully focused on the bronze compass before him.

"Does using this compass require blood?

" Lin Yuan pondered, remembering that he had noticed bloodstains on it when he first discovered the compass.

"Let's give it a try.

"Lin Yuan raised his right hand and squeezed out over ten drops of blood onto the compass.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

At the same time, the copper needle at the center of the compass began to spin rapidly.

After a short while, the needle stopped.

A piece of information suddenly appeared in Lin Yuan's mind.

"No danger detected.

""Detect danger?

" Lin Yuan contemplated.

"Does this compass have the ability to detect impending danger and point to a safe path?

"Lin Yuan came to this conclusion not only from the information conveyed by the compass but also from the previous behavior of the Eighteen Thieves of Yunshan.

The outside world believed that the Eighteen Thieves of Yunshan had an extraordinary intuition.

They were often able to leave just before an unstoppable powerhouse arrived.

Lin Yuan had also thought this was due to the bandits' intuition.

But now, seeing this bronze compass, it seemed likely that their so-called intuition came from this compass.

"It's a good thing.

"Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

While the bronze compass was not a treasure that directly enhanced combat power, the ability to detect danger in advance was a rare and valuable one.

Most importantly, this ability aligned with Lin Yuan's main goal after falling into this two-dimensional world.

Lin Yuan possessed Unrivaled Insight, which made his potential in this world far surpass that of any Eleventh-Rank being.

As long as he had time, he would eventually sweep through this two-dimensional world.

And before that, being able to detect danger in advance to buy time for growth was crucial.

"This compass is likely a treasure weapon with predictive abilities.

"Lin Yuan silently mused, thinking that predicting imminent danger was probably just the compass's ability after being suppressed by the two-dimensional world.

If it could break free from the two-dimensional world, the bronze compass's full capabilities might involve predicting various future timelines.

This kind of treasure, Lin Yuan had never heard of in human civilization or the main universe.

However, in the Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm and the Devil Jade Space, he had heard of such things.

From the Twelfth-Rank onwards, the goal of ultimate beings is to evolve into perfect time beings.

A perfect time being exists in the past, present, and future.

As long as they wish, they can easily see the beginning and end of multiple timelines.

Treasure weapons with predictive abilities are products that replicate the minor abilities of perfect time beings.

Time passed.

Five years went by in the blink of an eye.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, with his internal blood energy surging like a vast ocean.

The surrounding temperature rose rapidly, so much so that even ordinary Witch King-level powerhouses couldn't approach.

"After spending five years, I've finally developed a cultivation method for the Witch Sovereign level and successfully advanced to the Witch Sovereign level.

" Lin Yuan restrained his aura and nodded in satisfaction.

"The Witch Sovereign cultivation method I created through Unrivaled Insight surpasses that of all other Witch Sovereigns in this world.

"Simply put, while Lin Yuan was now a Witch Sovereign, he was directly an invincible Witch Sovereign.

Even if he faced the strongest beings among the myriad races or Eleventh-Rank peak beings trapped in this world, they couldn't defeat him within the Witch Sovereign domain.

Lin Yuan had stayed at the Witch Emperor level for over a decade, nearly exhausting every bit of potential in that rank before advancing to Witch Sovereign.

"However, to create a unique Witch Ancestor cultivation method for myself, it would be best to study the Witch Ancestor methods recorded by the Twelve Ancient Kingdoms.

"Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Each of the Twelve Ancient Kingdoms in this world was founded by a Witch Ancestor, and the cultivation methods they passed down are the foundation of the royal families of these kingdoms.

With Lin Yuan's Unrivaled Insight, even without these Witch Ancestor methods for reference, he could create his own Witch Ancestor cultivation method.

But doing so would undoubtedly delay the process by a significant amount.

The Witch Ancestor methods are essentially the explorations and understandings of the world's essence by past Witch Ancestors.

Reading these methods would be like standing on the shoulders of giants, greatly aiding in his own development of a unique Witch Ancestor method.

It would at least save a lot of time.

"Right now, in terms of strength, I'm an invincible Witch Sovereign, comparable to a Witch Ancestor.

" Lin Yuan had a clear understanding of his current power.

In terms of combat strength alone, he was already on par with any Witch Ancestor throughout history.

Of course, the Witch Ancestors he referred to were native to this world and didn't include the powerhouses of the myriad races.

Some Eleventh-Rank peak beings in the main universe, once they crossed into the Witch Ancestor level, would, due to their mastery of power, far surpass the native Witch Ancestors of the past.

But for those Eleventh-Rank peak beings, once they reached the Witch Ancestor level, their cultivation speed would drastically decrease because the path forward would be unclear.

"Now, quite a few powerhouses of the myriad races have gradually become Witch Ancestors.

" Lin Yuan thought about the information he had gathered over the past few years.

These powerhouses followed the cultivation system of this world, so their advancement was fast, with no bottlenecks, as their true selves' levels were already established.

Lin Yuan's Insight was too high, leading him to forge his own path at the Witch Emperor level and create a unique Witch Sovereign cultivation method, so naturally, his cultivation speed couldn't match those powerhouses of the myriad races.

But Lin Yuan wasn't worried.

Now, as a Witch Sovereign, he was comparable to a Witch Ancestor.

When he crossed into the Witch Ancestor level, he would likely be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the most powerful Eleventh-Rank beings.

In the main universe, Lin Yuan's strength couldn't compare to those Eleventh-Rank peak beings, with the gap between them being as vast as a chasm.

But in this two-dimensional world, it seemed as if it was tailored for Lin Yuan.

As long as he had enough time, those Eleventh-Rank peak beings wouldn't even be able to catch up to him....
