Chapter 669: Nine Lives Dao Law

Zixue Xin, along with numerous Honored Beings, had once asked a question.

Why were they so obsessed with slaying Liu Sheng?

Was it because of his celestial clan identity?

His talents?

His future?

At this moment, the truth was fully revealed.

It was fate!

"Nine Lives Dao Law · Celestial Reason Preset!"

"Future Dao Law · Future Deduction!"

"Limitless Dao Law · All Concealing Divine Heaven!"

A vast stream of information flashed before Yun Ye’s eyes. Even though his Chaos Sacred Body had achieved some success, it still felt too weak compared to the immense multiverse.

He was like a fish leaping from the ocean, failing to create any splash upon landing.

After Yun Ye achieved the law realms with his Whirlpool Dao Law, the conventional distinctions of realms lost their meaning. In terms of essence and strength, he had already reached the absolute limit of the True Realm, capable of slaying even weak Honored Beings. Thus, it would not be correct to say that he was weak; it was rather that the multiverse was far too vast.

Fortunately, he was not alone. In a hazy sense, Yun Ye’s vision was pulled across infinite voids, arriving at the Red Heaven realm, where a radiant sun blazed in the emptiness.

Soon after, he descended into the interior of the Red Heaven realm, passing through the outer universe and reaching the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven that encircled the Nine Continents of Red Heaven.

The Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven had become a vast universe, difficult to observe, and he continued to descend.

Eventually, he arrived at a space resembling a hall.

It was similar to the auditorium used for the opening ceremonies of ordinary schools, with no particularly distinguishing features—just a podium, seats, and some facility differences.

There hadn’t been any large events using the hall recently, yet the lights on stage shone, with a lonely podium standing tall.

Light evenly illuminated the platform, covering the podium and forming a sharp boundary with the seats below.

In the darkness, several Honored Beings sat in various places below the stage. They either meditated, read books, or practiced and deduced.

Yet beneath their calm exteriors, their spiritual senses continually focused on a seemingly ordinary book on the podium, resembling a dictionary.

The instrument of the Dao, known as the New Heaven Canon, rested upon the podium, blending harmoniously with the dust, revealing no extraordinary qualities.

Yun Ye naturally recognized his creation. He stepped forward, approached the book, and extended his hand.

"What do you plan to do this time?"

A voice suddenly rang out.

Yun Ye turned to look.

A woman with perfect bearing, her black hair almost reaching the ground, approached. Her flowing hair swayed slightly as if dancing in joy.

She wore a blue divine gown that showcased the dignity of a Divine Empress, appearing neither old nor worn, and adorned her forehead with gorgeous accessories, serving as a replacement for a phoenix crown.

Due to Yun Ye’s influence, modern attire had indeed changed drastically, but the armor crafted by the top cultivators still leaned toward ancient styles.

While in Dongwang City, there had been instances when spiritual attire began to evolve, with armor transforming into Daoist robes after full liberation of the attire. This phenomenon had persisted into this era, with the strongest spiritual attire retaining its initial form as ancient clothing and accessories.

Shui Wuge possessed nothing ordinary; she was not only infused with Cave Power but also represented the highest achievement of Celestial Empire technology.

“Let’s stir up a storm and bring the True Immortals’ stage of a million years to an end.”

Yun Ye extended his hand, “I’m relying on my sister a bit; is that alright?”

Shui Wuge’s jet-black eyes slightly scattered, flashing with a torrent of past memories. It was a brief yet nostalgic time.

Dongwang City…

The World God descended, growing stronger through slaughter, and at that time, they were all prey for Dongwang, destined to perish.

But then came the unexpected twist of their brother, granting them a glimmer of hope amidst their weakness, allowing them to create incredible miracles—in a situation lacking Cave Techniques, they successfully opened Heaven and Earth, swiftly eliminating Dongwang, against which they had been utterly powerless, leading them to the pinnacle and redefining order.

This process required no participation from them, the weaker opponents; they were protected and received the final rewards, becoming the rulers of the Celestial Empire.

For millennia, Shui Wuge had pondered her purpose and the reason for her existence.

In the end, she gradually understood that merely living a stable life brought immense happiness to many. Standing atop with her brother, she hardly worried about such things, surrounded by happiness. Clearly, her bliss would continue until death, as she held the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven, with no entity capable of resisting her, and undisturbed tranquility.

Even True Immortals could not defy her; in this Red Heaven realm, she was the true ruler.

Then, she awakened the Tomorrow Dao Weapon.

Though she could not do much, at least she could decide the order of the Red Heaven realm.

Shui Wuge grasped Yun Ye’s outstretched hand, her black eyes piercing through his tired thoughts. She said, “Brother… feel free to rely on me!”

As her gaze elevated, her perspective transcended all.

With the Three Major Techniques united, destiny fell into her hands, and interference across the multiverse commenced.

Shui Wuge’s assistance turned the impossible into reality without a sound, and the tendrils of the Heavenly Dry Universe enveloped the entire Celestial Empire universe cluster.

All darkness was covered, guiding destiny towards Yun Ye’s own expectations.

…

Hongmeng Realm.

Standing in the midst of Purple energy, Yun Ye opened his eyes and walked deeper alongside Zixue Xin. Suddenly, the perfectly flawless Hongmeng Realm trembled and split open a crack. This coincidence was created by the distortion of the Great Destruction Sword, initially imperceptible and untraversable.

Yet, it was far too fortunate; it appeared right before Yun Ye. They were not weaker opponents and decisively breached the crack, crossing through it.

Entering this crack did not lead directly to the chaotic void. There was a process of passing through the world barrier, entirely unlike the transmission of the Multiverse Tower.

As they traversed, the world barrier twisted backward, yet there was no gravitational pull—just ordinary shrinkage to a singular point, becoming part of the dim void, with no trace remaining.

“The Hongmeng Realm has collapsed; the Master of Heaven’s Cavern and those Honored Beings seem to have perished together. Everything was indeed arranged so clearly.”

Zixue Xin had never witnessed a cosmic collapse, let alone experienced it firsthand. She sighed and glanced back, wanting to remember this moment.

But unfortunately, as they departed from the Hongmeng Realm, position, time, and space all became ambiguous. Her gaze could not penetrate the pitch-black void; she could not see the Hongmeng Realm that had lost its light.

Crack…

The interference range of the blue Daoist robe shrank rapidly; though it was light, it emitted a sound of shattering.

“We need to leave quickly!”

Zixue Xin soon realized that the void was not a place for leisurely wandering; immense fear was descending!

Merely relying on the Honored Position Divine Artifact would not be enough to withstand such immense fear.

As they continued, they would be erased from existence, vanishing from everyone’s memory.

“Transmission!”

The two unleashed a forced transmission together, transforming into a beam of light that traversed the void, piercing into the nearest world.

The transmission technology of the Multiverse Tower relied on Cave Power. Both possessed the method of Opening Heaven and Earth, allowing them to forcibly teleport even without a pre-made array diagram, albeit at a high cost in resource consumption.

This type of traversal mirrored the initial invasions of worlds; it consumed vast resources, and an individual could hardly bear it. Fortunately, both were extraordinary, so they were not troubled by this, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in a large nearby universe.

This was an Absolute Spirit World. The burden of their forced transmission was significant, so they waited a moment on the spot, yet the attackers still did not appear.

It seemed this was an unexpected world.

“My mission is completed. I must say, it was quite thrilling. I hope the next time I encounter you, it will be a good meeting rather than swords drawn, Qing Liu Sheng.”

Zixue Xin completed her task, departing through the Multiverse Tower to a cosmic battlefield.

Yun Ye watched her leave, flipping through the Nine Lives Dao Classics in his hands, revealing numerous scenes.

“I’ve paid such a great cost, yet I’m still alive. Next, I must reassess the forces behind me and unleash a true weapon of mass destruction?”

The reason it was a question was that he was uncertain if that could be accomplished; he could only push forward as much as possible.

Would the Divine Court be willing to eradicate threats at any cost?

If this possibility existed, then after Yun Ye’s long-term planning, he could realize it.

However, if the Divine Court itself lacked this potential, or if the likelihood was low, then with his current strength—even with Shui Wuge’s assistance—he could not facilitate such a vast possibility.

The Nine Lives Spirit Law interfered with destiny and causality, and the main difference from the Future Spirit Law was that it allowed for the autonomous choice of the ‘future,’ which was the essence of the Celestial Reason Preset.

Interestingly, the Nine Lives True Immortal possessed this power of Celestial Reason Preset, yet the title of Celestial Principle True Immortal was obtained by the future Path Lord.

Of course, this was a joke—this Celestial Reason was not the same; one determined the reason of heaven, while the other executed it, making them entirely different.

These True Immortals seemed to have a connection of fate. The True Immortal of Spiritual Laws opened the five elements but did not receive the title of the five elements, which was later gained by Mystic Heaven.

The Red Heaven, which developed the weapon system, also did not acquire any title related to Spirit Law…

Although at that time, such a concept as Spirit Law did not exist.

“Nine Lives True Immortal…”

Yun Ye murmured to himself. He felt some apprehension about this True Immortal, as many things seemed linked to him, and his power was equally terrifying.

When he altered the rules, the Nine Lives True Immortal had fought against the future Path Lord, resulting in a series of defeats; he was utterly outmatched, facing a significant disadvantage in law.

It appeared that the Nine Lives True Immortal posed no threat and lacked any standing, and his true immortal power seemed trivial.

However, this was not due to suppression in the realm of laws but rather a suppression of personal strength.

The future Path Lord’s ascension to becoming an immortal was the latest; he had topped two monarchs and achieved power that was unprecedented and unparalleled, certainly overwhelming the Nine Lives True Immortal during the monarch era. Hence, when the powers of the two True Immortals clashed, the future Path Lord held absolute advantage.

The power of True Immortals inherently lacked distinctions in level; they adhered to absolute rules.

Though Yun Ye did not know the specific differences between the Rule Power of the Nine Lives Dao Classics and the true immortal power of the Nine Lives True Immortal, his conclusions drawn from using both types of Spirit Laws indicated that neither was superior; they were both the culmination of the same path, each serving an irreplaceable purpose.

The Future Spirit Law was about predicting the future and required inherent strength to reach the projected future, unable to impose an improbable future onto reality.

On the other hand, the Nine Lives Spirit Law determined the future, fate, and causality.

Even an event with only a 0.001% chance could be expanded to 100%, which was the enhancement that came with upgrading to the Dao Law after the Nine Lives Spirit Law.

Yun Ye combined the three Spirit Sense True Immortal Laws, reaching an apex in manipulating the future and destiny.

The flaw of the Nine Lives Spirit Law was its forced manipulation of fate, which consumed tremendous power. However, now the other two Spirit Laws compensated for this flaw.

Take the event of ‘causing explosives to detonate’ as an example.

The Nine Lives Spirit Law would manipulate the law of causation, triggering a somewhat unstable pack of explosives to explode directly.

Bypassing the process and reaching the result immediately exemplified the power of possibility; even causing atomic fission could be realized, no matter how small the probability, it did not equal zero, thus achieving it through amplification.

However, this manipulation’s efficiency was extremely low, requiring an immense amount of power to realize. This was manageable in the Red Heaven realm, but crossing the multiverse made it unrealistic.

While the Dao Classic power might be infinite, there was an ‘upper limit’ to this model, capable of interfering with only a few surrounding worlds.

With the Future Spirit Law, it was different.

The Future Spirit Law could deduce that for the explosives to detonate, the fuse needed to be lit and that some of the explosives were damaged, hindering the explosion, thus needing removal.

Understanding this, the steps of the Nine Lives Spirit Law would be replaced with handling the damage, lighting the fuse, and then “boom!”

Finally, if the power remains insufficient, the immeasurable Spirit Law, which amplifies the might of the Spirit Laws, should come into play.

With the Three Major Techniques united, if Yun Ye were not merely a year old, his strength complete, he could control countless independent universes at will.

Few could perceive this, almost none, except for True Immortals.

This was the reason Yun Ye felt uneasy about the Nine Lives True Immortal.

As long as the Rule Power related to the manipulation of possibilities, the Nine Lives True Immortal would hold a significant advantage in the outer heavens and could become the ultimate winner of the multiverse era.

The future Path Lord could indeed sweep through the Nine Lives and the immeasurable duo easily in the outer heavens, and the power of True Immortals displayed astonishing effects.

But that was a battle between True Immortals. In this multiverse era, the key lies in people; whoever can manipulate people has the potential to emerge victorious.

Yet, forecasting the future, all plans must be accomplished personally in the Tong Ming Qiong, which was evidently inferior to the straightforward results established by the Nine Lives True Immortal.

When Yun Ye saw the principle of the Fantasy Spirit Law in the Immeasurable Dao Classics, he could not help but associate it with the Nine Lives True Immortal.

Perhaps the Divine Court was the Nine Lives True Immortal’s arrangement in this era, his sickle to dominate the Red Heaven realm.

Nine thousand years meant little to a True Immortal; in the void, there was no passage of time. In the blink of an eye, the Red Heaven realm might have passed a millennium; the heavens they created also possessed a sense of time. For True Immortals, as long as they wished, they could leap through long spans instantly. If waiting could solve a problem, they would not mind the wait.

Now, the New Heaven Celestial Empire lay in ruins, with the outer heavens riddled with vulnerabilities. Those True Immortals should have intervened. He needed a breeze to disperse the fog; the Divine Court was merely the first step.
