True Understanding of Laws

"You want to bet on Yi Yun's <Tai'a Sacred Law>? Yang Dingkun, you have quite the appetite!"

After hearing Yang Dingkun's plan, Tiger Head was also tempted, as he too had no chance to cultivate the <Tai'a Sacred Law>.

The Tai'a Sacred Law is extremely difficult to cultivate; out of five people who practice it, only one succeeds.

People like Tiger Head, although they have the resources to exchange for the <Tai'a Sacred Law>, will most likely fail to cultivate it after obtaining it.

Tiger Head couldn't bring himself to spend so many Glory Points and Dragon Scale Rune for an uncertain possibility; the cost was too high.

"Of course, treasures belong to the capable! This <Tai'a Sacred Law> is a complete waste in Yi Yun's hands. But I have royal blood, and the <Tai'a Sacred Law> was originally a cultivation technique of my royal family. I can cultivate it with twice the results with half the effort!"

"Although I have won the <Tai'a Sacred Law>, I only have less than half a year left, but that's enough for me. I'm confident that I can master the <Tai'a Sacred Law> within these six months!"

Yang Dingkun was quite confident.

Tiger Head curled his lip upon hearing this. This guy is really good at bragging. He claims to have mastered it in half a year? Isn't he afraid of biting off more than he can chew? In the last ten years, not a single person in Tai'a Divine City has mastered the <Tai'a Sacred Law> in half a year!

However, while it's impossible to master the Tai'a Sacred Law in six months, it would allow Yang Dingkun to test whether he was truly suited to cultivate it.

If it's not suitable, then he should just give up on the idea and not waste any more Glory Points. In that case, Yang Dingkun still comes out ahead.

"If you want to win the <Tai'a Sacred Law>, what are you planning to use as a wager with Yi Yun?"

Li Hong asked the question.

Yang Dingkun smiled confidently and said, "Of course I have something to tempt that kid! Besides, I can lend you 30,000 Dragon Scale Rune as an extra wager with Yi Yun. These Dragon Scale Rune are just a loan; you'll have to pay me back later!"

The 30,000 Dragon Scale Rune were meant to help Li Hong recover from his losses. With this win, Li Hong was able to catch his breath.

Li Hong pondered silently, then slowly nodded. Losing 30,000 Dragon Scale Rune might not bother Yi Yun much. But losing the <Tai'a Sacred Law> would absolutely break Yi Yun's heart.

Li Hong wanted Yi Yun to experience what it felt like to have his flesh cut off.

He held up five fingers and said, "Fifty thousand! Lend me fifty thousand Dragon Scale Rune!"

Having already gambled on the <Tai'a Sacred Law>, Li Hong dared not gamble on Glory Points or anything like that; that was too extravagant.

Betting 50,000 Dragon Scale Rune was already the limit Li Hong could accept.

Yi Yun might still be hiding his true strength, perhaps intending to sabotage himself. But Li Hong, too, is he hiding his abilities?

It's time to reveal all our cards!

"This Yi Yun thinks he has me cornered, but little does he know, I've also made a significant breakthrough in my strength over the past month! We don't even know each other's trump cards. Why should I lose to you!"

As Li Hong thought this through, his resolve grew stronger.

Since Yi Yun defeated Chu Xiaoran and won first place among the newcomers, Yi Yun's popularity in Tai'a Divine City has been unparalleled!

Emissaries from various powerful Lineage arrived one after another, wanting Yi Yun to become a guest of their respective factions. Many factions offered various generous conditions for Yi Yun, some even refusing to require a contract Yi Yun, only asking for a verbal promise.

But Yi Yun refused all of them.

Back when Yi Yun was in Yunhuang, he did need to join a faction to obtain resources. But now, in Tai'a Divine City, Yi Yun can obtain everything through his own efforts. His strength can be described as increasing by leaps and bounds. There is no need for him to join these factions and be controlled by others.

Yi Yun was having dinner and was planning to go to the Blade Tomb Yi Yun when he saw several beautiful young women carrying trays and chatting as they walked over. The young woman in the middle was Zhao Qingcheng.

Zhao Qingcheng also saw Yi Yun, and she smiled with surprise, "Little brother Yi Yun! You're here too!"

"Uh..." Zhao Qingcheng had just finished speaking when she suddenly realized something, stuck out her tongue, and said, "I can't call you that anymore, you're already number one among the newcomers!"

Thinking back to when she first met Yi Yun three months ago, Zhao Qingcheng was amazed. Who would have thought that the seemingly simple-minded little brother could unleash such brilliance!

Upon seeing that Zhao Qingcheng knew Yi Yun, the eyes of the several young women around her lit up. They immediately surrounded Yi Yun, vying to have Zhao Qingcheng introduce him to them.

Before Yi Yun speak, the girls took their plates and sat down next to or opposite him. In no time, the table was full of them, a scene of soft, fragrant flesh and beautiful women.

The girl completely forgot about eating, focusing solely on talking to Yi Yun, asking him all sorts of questions, and was incredibly excited. It was just like the little girl Yi Yun had seen in his previous life chasing after a celebrity.

In this Great Wilderness, martial artists carry far more weight than celebrities. Any peerless genius is a true idol for young men and women, with countless admirers and suitors.

"Young Master Yi, are you engaged? Do you have someone you like?"

A bold girl got straight to the point, leaving Yi Yun momentarily dumbfounded.

That's too direct.

In this world, mortals start discussing marriage at the age of fifteen.

Among martial artists, some live to be hundreds of years old without getting married, devoting themselves entirely to the pursuit of martial arts, while others settle down with their partners in their teens or twenties.

Martial arts partners can Dual Cultivation, complementing each other's Yin and Yang!

If two people are of one mind, they will actually progress faster than someone who focuses solely on martial arts and cultivates on their own.

Upon hearing this question, for some reason, a vague image kept replaying in Yi Yun's mind, refusing to leave...

Yi Yun thought of Jiang Xiaorou. In fact, Yi Yun himself couldn't quite define his feelings for Jiang Xiaorou, but there was no doubt that Jiang Xiaorou was the most important person in his life.

We'll stand together through thick and thin, never abandoning each other!

After Jiang Xiaorou, another image appeared in Yi Yun's mind: a beautiful woman in white, seemingly about to ride the wind and return home— Lin Xin Tong.

In Yi Yun's heart, Lin Xin Tong was the woman who left the deepest impression on him besides Jiang Xiaorou.

Yi Yun still remembers that night in the Barren Human Valley, when Lin Xin Tong recounted her congenital incurable Fatal Meridian under the moonlight.

At that moment, when Yi Yun saw the sorrowful look on Lin Xin Tong and heard Lin Xin Tong soft sigh, he felt a pang of heartache for no apparent reason.

"Lin Xin Tong said there was an urgent matter in her Lineage that she needed to return to handle. I don't know what it is, or whether it went smoothly... Her Lineage probably isn't in the Tai'a Divine Kingdom..."

Lost in thought, Yi Yun paid little attention to the questions the girls continued to ask.

Just then, a very shrill and arrogant voice suddenly rang out, pulling Yi Yun back to reality.

"Damn it, Yi Yun is going to challenge our boss tomorrow, and he still has the nerve to be flirting here!"

The moment the voice was uttered, the girls widened their beautiful eyes and glared angrily at the person who had spoken!

At this moment, four boys who looked like his underlings were standing in front of Yi Yun's dining table. Seeing Yi Yun surrounded by beautiful women, they were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!

These people, when they were in their Lineage, did have maids to serve them and play with, but how could those maids compare to these young girls who could enter the Tai'a Divine City?

"Yi Yun! You're going to die tomorrow! Our guild leader has accepted your challenge, but challenges always come with a wager. Our guild leader asked us to pass on a message: tomorrow's battle is wagered on your <Tai'a Sacred Law>! And 50,000 Dragon Scale Rune!"

Although they were a little afraid of Yi Yun, these underlings, relying on their membership in the Hong Dao Society, did not back down. They shouted very loudly, and everyone in the dining hall could hear them.

I'll gamble on the <Tai'a Sacred Law>! Plus 50,000 Dragon Scale Rune!?

This bet... is outrageous!

Especially the <Tai'a Sacred Law>. Everyone knows that Yi Yun was lucky enough to find Primordial Relic Medicine and directly obtained the first three volumes of the <Tai'a Sacred Law>. Now, before he could even warm them up, Li Hong had his eye on them!

How could I possibly agree to this bet!

People forgot about their meals and all stared at Yi Yun.

"Scared? If you're scared, then hurry up and beg for mercy. With your trash strength, our guild leader wouldn't even bother to lift a finger!"

The young men, fearing that Yi Yun wouldn't agree, resorted to provocation.

Yi Yun couldn't be bothered with such a childish attempt at provocation. "The <Tai'a Sacred Law>, huh..."

Yi Yun stroked his chin; he hadn't expected Li Hong to go this far!

In fact, Yi Yun was confident in his ability to fight Li Hong, but in a battle between masters, there is never a 100% certainty of victory or defeat. Although Yi Yun had his own trump cards, he did not know the extent of Li Hong's strength.

This was originally a challenge for Yi Yun as well!

However, challenges are what fuel passion. The path of martial arts is inherently a journey of overcoming obstacles and riding the waves!

"Li Hong wants to gamble with the <Tai'a Sacred Law>, but what's the stake? It's not Dragon Scale Rune, is it?!"

"Hmph! Of course not! The one betting with you on the <Tai'a Sacred Law> is actually the young prince of the Prince Chu's Estate — Yang Dingkun! The stake he's wagering is the Prince Chu's Estate's Mansion's peerless secret technique—<True Understanding of Laws>!"

"Hmm? <The True Understanding of Laws>?"

Yi Yun's heart skipped a beat, and at that moment, Zhao Qingcheng, who was beside Yi Yun, subconsciously covered her mouth.

"The True Understanding of Laws" is an invaluable classic text.

It is not a technique, but rather an explanation of the True Meaning of Laws.

A martial artist with extraordinary comprehension like Chu Xiaoran comprehended two laws while still in the Purple Blood Realm: the laws of softness and hardness, and the laws of ice and coldness.

While comprehending the laws primarily depends on oneself, it cannot be achieved through mere solitary practice alone. To comprehend the laws, one must gradually begin, and a classic text describing the laws is extremely important!

The <True Understanding of Laws> of the Prince Chu's Estate is one of the top law Secret Manual in the Tai'a Divine Kingdom. This Secret Manual was obtained by the tenth Prince Chu through a great opportunity, and it is Secret Manual that Tai'a Divine City does not have!

This further highlights the value of the <True Understanding of Laws>.

Yi Yun was indeed tempted after hearing this, as he still had significant shortcomings in understanding the laws of nature.
