Creating Heavenly Laws
Chapter Summary
As the ruler of an ancient Kingdom, his knowledge was vast—not only did he fully understand the cultivation system of the Liyang Ancient Kingdom, but he was also well-acquainted with the systems of the other five. Unlike members of the royal family who simply inherited bloodlines, someone who could create a cultivation legacy had reached an extraordinary level of understanding—one who not only grasped the results but also understood the reasoning behind them. Besides, by guarding the newly-born ...
"This is an entirely new cultivation legacy?
"The Emperor of the Liyang Ancient Kingdom was a bit stunned.
He had originally thought it was merely a secret technique for excavating the Ancestor's bloodline.
But to his surprise, it was a full-fledged legacy.
A legacy and a secret technique were completely different—they involved entirely different considerations.
"This legacy is completely unlike the ones used by the Six Ancient Kingdoms.
It follows an entirely different path.
"The Emperor felt a tidal wave surging in his heart.
As the ruler of an ancient Kingdom, his knowledge was vast—not only did he fully understand the cultivation system of the Liyang Ancient Kingdom, but he was also well-acquainted with the systems of the other five.
But one that could rival the legacy Lin Yuan had brought forth?
Perhaps only the mainstream legacies passed down by the Six Founding Ancestors could compare.
"Milky Way, did you create this legacy yourself?
" the Emperor asked, trying to confirm as he looked at Lin Yuan.
"Yes.
" Lin Yuan nodded.
The martial evolution path was indeed his own creation.
As for the various sub-branches that extended from it?
Their core foundation was still martial cultivation.
"No wonder you possess such power," the Emperor sighed.
Unlike members of the royal family who simply inherited bloodlines, someone who could create a cultivation legacy had reached an extraordinary level of understanding—one who not only grasped the results but also understood the reasoning behind them.
That was countless times more difficult than simply comprehending the laws of the world like a Heavenly Sovereign.
A normal Heavenly Sovereign would follow the fluctuations of the world’s Dao to comprehend it, relying on guidance.
But to create an entirely new cultivation legacy?
Even with references from other legacies, the end result still had to be wholly original.
Especially this legacy named "Martial Dao"—from every angle, it was hardly inferior to the mainstream legacies passed down by the Founding Ancestors.
That made it all the more astonishing.
"Milky Way, are you really planning to spread this legacy?
" the Emperor asked again.
A legacy of this level could easily be placed into the Liyang Kingdom’s treasure vault.
Letting it spread freely with no restrictions?
The Emperor almost felt it was a waste.
"Yes, spread it," Lin Yuan nodded.
Placing the martial evolution sub-branch in the national treasure vault would indeed bring him additional merit income.
But it would also greatly limit its spread—not everyone had the qualifications to enter the vault and make selections.
That went against Lin Yuan’s original intent.
He spread Martial Dao in order to establish "anchor points" and "Dao markers.
"As for the merit income?
In the past, he might have cared.
But now?
With the special privileges granted by the Liyang Ancestor, he had unrestricted access to everything in the treasure vault.
Merit had little meaning for him anymore.
Besides, by guarding the newly-born Golden Mist treasure land, Lin Yuan now had a monopoly on a top-tier rare resource that had never existed before in the Six Ancient Kingdoms.
He could get whatever resources he wanted with ease.
"Milky Way, you...
" The Emperor was deeply moved.
He thought Lin Yuan was being benevolent, paving the way for the people of the Liyang Ancient Kingdom.
"I've already given the order," the Emperor said after closing his eyes briefly.
The Liyang Ancient Kingdom ruled over numerous territories.
Secret techniques like the Liyang Spirit-Nurturing Method were constantly being disseminated.
The Emperor simply needed to add the martial evolution path sub-branch into those channels—there was no need to establish new distribution methods.
"Thank you.
"Lin Yuan nodded.
"It’s the people of this Ancient Kingdom who should be thanking you," the Emperor replied immediately.
From his perspective, Lin Yuan willingly spreading such a profound legacy was unquestionably a great boon for all citizens.
Soon—The martial evolution path sub-branch began spreading first in the capital of the Liyang Kingdom.
"Martial Dao?
""Who created this cultivation legacy?
""It was the Milky Way Heavenly Sovereign?
He created it?
"The Great Sovereigns and even Heavenly Sovereigns were instantly stirred.
In the Liyang Kingdom, the more powerful one was, the more clearly they understood just how terrifying the Milky Way Heavenly Sovereign was.
This was the man who single-handedly steamrolled four Ancient Kingdoms, including the Grand Ancient Void Kingdom.
Even the most arrogant and untouchable Strongest Sovereign from the Grand Ancient Void had to flee in panic before the Milky Way Heavenly Sovereign—or rather, couldn’t even escape.
"This Martial Dao legacy...
" Some Great Sovereigns examined it closely, their expressions thoughtful.
The martial evolution path sub-branch was entirely different from all existing legacies.
Even for Great Sovereigns, it wasn’t something they could immediately grasp, but they could faintly sense the profound mysteries within.
"Bloodline—it talks about how to excavate one’s bloodline?
Is this the foundation of the Milky Way Heavenly Sovereign’s strength?
"More and more Great Sovereigns began to study it.
Though their own paths were already set, it didn’t stop them from referencing, borrowing from, or even dual-cultivating with it.
Golden Mist Treasure Land.
Lin Yuan’s true body sat cross-legged, refining the Dragon Abyss Blood.
Meanwhile, his consciousness was immersed in observing the operation of the Source World’s origin.
Rumble...
As he refined the Dragon Abyss Blood, Lin Yuan’s true body operated naturally, and his invisible aura began to subtly influence and spread across the many layers of space-time within the treasure land.
Below, a dozen array masters who were constructing defensive formations felt their hearts tremble.
Though they were also powerful, in the presence of the Milky Way Heavenly Sovereign’s casually released aura, they were like ants beside a dragon.
Nervous.
Uneasy.
"The Milky Way Heavenly Sovereign is too powerful.
""Yeah, I can feel it too—he's refining even the deepest layers of space-time itself.
""I heard that the first lifeform born at the dawn of creation was called the ‘Yuanlong,’ able to silently penetrate all space-time.
Could the Milky Way Heavenly Sovereign be the same as the Yuanlong?
"The dozen array masters continued quickly laying down the formation while whispering among themselves.
As high-level formation masters, they had naturally heard of the Yuanlong.
Before Lin Yuan, the definition of a Strongest Sovereign in the Six Ancient Kingdoms had been based on the founding of the Grand Ancient Void Kingdom.
Before that?
It had been the era ruled by the Yuanlong—an uncontested overlord—until the Grand Ancient Void Ancestor stepped into the thirteenth rank, slew the Yuanlong, and founded the Grand Ancient Void Kingdom.
"Source World origin’s operation...
"Lin Yuan was fully immersed, watching the Source World’s operation.
Infinite Dao laws interwove and fused—it completely captivated him.
"Space-time...
"The space-time before his eyes transformed once more.
Layer upon layer of space-time unfolded like sheets of paper, visible in one glance.
[Your insight is unrivaled.
Watching the mysterious origin’s operation has enhanced your understanding of the space-time fusion law.
]As Lin Yuan delved deeper, his comprehension of space-time in his mind gradually formed a complete whole.
Suddenly, a fully-formed space-time fusion rule emerged.
"Space-time!
So this is space-time!
"Lin Yuan’s eyes sparkled.
He continued comparing the Source World’s operation with the Dao patterns inside the thirteenth-rank weapon—Heavenly Void Cauldron—from the chaotic void.
In that moment, Lin Yuan reached the peak of the ninth layer of space-time fusion comprehension—essentially achieving full mastery of the rule.
"I thought it would take me a thousand years to reach the ninth-layer peak...
" A smile appeared on Lin Yuan’s face.
Comprehending many supreme inheritance guides in the Liyang Kingdom’s treasure vault had greatly benefited him.
These guides, created by thirteenth-rank time beings, were naturally invaluable.
All these factors combined had allowed Lin Yuan to reach the peak of space-time fusion comprehension far ahead of schedule.
"Next, it’s time to transcend the space-time fusion rule.
"Lin Yuan collected his thoughts and continued observing the Source World’s operation.
Grand Ancient Void Kingdom, deepest part of the capital.
A group of Heavenly Sovereigns stood respectfully.
At that moment, an invisible aura gathered and formed a man draped in a lavish cloak, inlaid with countless gemstones—each one containing a vast world.
His eyes were long and narrow, without the slightest emotional ripple.
"Ancestor.
""Ancestor.
""Ancestor.
"The many Heavenly Sovereigns of the Grand Ancient Void Kingdom bowed in unison, incomparably reverent.
In the Grand Ancient Void Kingdom, the Ancestor was the supreme "god.
" It was because of him that their powerhouses could look down upon others from a lofty height.
"Rise.
"The Grand Ancient Void Ancestor swept his gaze across them.
Each Heavenly Sovereign's timeline unfolded before him—past fixed, a single thread; but the future held countless possibilities.
He first looked at their fixed past timelines.
Every time he descended, he would offer guidance to top-tier and Strongest Sovereigns among his descendants.
But that guidance could not be baseless—it had to be tailored to each one’s past experiences, hence the need to view their timelines.
Soon—Through these timelines—He saw what had happened in the Golden Mist Treasure Land.
Scene after scene of his people being crushed by the Milky Way Heavenly Sovereign made the Ancestor's brows furrow deeply.
He had always valued his descendants and was willing to nurture them.
Among the six Ancestors, who else descended periodically to guide their bloodline?
The Grand Ancient Void Kingdom occupying nearly a third of the treasure lands was largely due to his behind-the-scenes manipulation.
For an Ancestor, the rare treasures from these lands held little value.
Even so, he had made efforts to secure them.
For whose benefit?
And yet, despite such nurturing, his Heavenly Sovereigns had still been completely overwhelmed by the Milky Way Heavenly Sovereign of the Liyang Kingdom.
That left the Ancestor somewhat disgraced.
He could already picture the smug, smiling face of the Liyang Ancestor.
"You all...
"The Grand Ancient Void Ancestor scanned the assembled Heavenly Sovereigns.
"Ancestor...
"The Heavenly Sovereigns below trembled in fear.
They wanted to speak but dared not.
The Milky Way Heavenly Sovereign’s overwhelming strength was one thing, but if the Liyang Kingdom could produce such a being, why couldn’t the Grand Ancient Void, with its superior environment, do the same?
They had no defense for their failure.
"Useless trash!
"The Ancestor’s gaze turned icy.
He felt that the descendants he had painstakingly cultivated were a bunch of worthless failures.
At the same time, he began to observe the time lines related to the Milky Way Heavenly Sovereign—each one branching and extending into the future.
"Hmm?
