Saint Path Law

"Not good!"

A great terror surged through the hearts of everyone in Fire Jade Sky City. Blatant malice descended from the heavens, sweeping away every obstacle in an instant.

It was as if countless beams of light had pierced the dark clouds, drilling hole after hole through this historical rift and observing Fire Jade Sky City directly through them.

Such undisguised, naked gazes naturally terrified the mere Dharma Realm cultivators beyond description, leaving their thoughts almost frozen.

Even as the destruction of the historical rift connected it to the Red Heaven Realm and their cultivation gradually recovered to its peak, this fear did not diminish in the slightest.

That was because this power completely surpassed them!

Of everyone there, only one person was in the greatest danger: Tian Hou, who was in the Emperor of Extinction Treasury, frantically gathering resources. He, too, was horrified beyond measure. His entire body was bound by an invisible force and dragged toward the sky. Under the enveloping pillar of light, he looked like a heavenly god ascending to heaven, an utterly sacred sight.

But Tian Hou felt no joy at all. He only felt despair, because he clearly saw his soul churning as some existence read through his memories. Most tragically, he sensed no abnormalities whatsoever—no pain, no confusion, no loss of consciousness...

None of the symptoms that should accompany having one's memories read appeared.

This was not a good thing, because it meant the other party's mastery of Divine Art had completely surpassed his imagination. It was an existence he could never resist.

"Sunlight, the Neon Race... Is my luck really this terrible?"

Jiu Xiao's expression froze. She gave a bitter smile, and her gaze rapidly grew blank as the memories in her mind swiftly vanished.

At the same time.

She and the Divine Deer Heir Apparent beside her also rose into the sky, their memories being read and examined.

"No one saw the Dao Canon. Was it secretly taken away? How cautious. Not the slightest trace was left behind. No wonder the Immortal Lord's order was not to trace its existence."

"It is also possible that the memories were severed. Not even the slightest possibility could be left behind."

Sunlight pierced through heaven and earth.

The entire historical rift collapsed outright.

Witnessing such a Great Destruction, the cultivators who still retained consciousness murmured, "How could such a calamity be necessary?"

How could it be necessary?

They were merely Profound Heaven cultivators, called mighty experts by ordinary people. But in the eyes of these True Persons and Venerables, how were they any different from ants?

Why would such exalted existences expend great power to exterminate them?

"Save me, save me..."

Only Tian Hou still retained a sliver of hope. He had obtained authorization to open the historical rift through the Divine Mandate organization, which supposedly possessed the power to protect him.

In his eyes, Divine Mandate was likewise an unreachable colossus. Perhaps it could preserve his life?

But unfortunately, just as this thought crossed his mind, he suddenly froze.

The colossus that might save him?

...What was it called again?

For a moment, Tian Hou's heart turned to ashes. He knew he had been abandoned, which was why he had forgotten the organization's name.

He was merely an outer member. The moment he was targeted, his connection with Divine Mandate had already begun to fade, to avoid becoming entangled in karma and drawing the attention of a greater enemy.

The Venerable who came had indeed found no useful information, and so he destroyed everything.

Tian Hou and the others could not escape this destruction. Their bodies and spirits were annihilated, dead beyond all possibility of death.

The Immortal Race Venerable glanced at the collapsing, vanishing historical rift and withdrew his gaze. Countless rays of sunlight projected by his eyes gradually disappeared amid the torrents of time and space.

The historical rift was completely destroyed, and the scene faded away. Only a Dragon Ship remained, sailing silently toward the Four Days Continent.

Yet even the Venerable failed to see that within the Dragon Ship he had judged empty and thus had not bothered to destroy, a black-haired young man was pouring Spirit Drink and drinking in silence. Countless strands of knowledge flowed through his eyes as he comprehended every Divine Art from ancient times to the present.

Elsewhere.

Far away in the Poor God Dao Domain of the Four Days Continent, a cute white-haired little girl sat inside a ruined temple, hugging herself with a bewildered look in her eyes. Eight tails swayed behind her as if she had no idea what to do.

"Eh? What am I doing here...?"

The Boundless Dao Canon recorded every law from ancient times to the present, naturally including the Future Divine Law. However, this law was merely a mortal's law.

In other words, the Future Divine Law within the Boundless Dao Canon contained none of the Dao Canon's power. It could neither deduce True Immortals nor observe the absolute future.

"What difference is there between this and the Nine Lives Divine Law?"

After Yun Ye finished reading the entire Future Divine Law, this was the only thought in his mind.

Indeed, the Future Divine Law far surpassed the Nine Lives Divine Law in strength. But the Future Divine Law of the Future Dao Lord represented absoluteness and would never produce an error. The Future Divine Law Yun Ye had grasped, however, would inevitably go wrong if a True Immortal interfered. Even interference from an Emperor would cause enormous deviations.

Against an opponent like a True Immortal, the slightest deviation was enough to lose the entire game.

A Future Divine Law that was not absolutely accurate, even if its precision reached ninety-nine percent, was practically no different from one at eighty or seventy percent. It could only be used within the Red Heaven Realm. Once the time came to become an Emperor, it would fail on a massive scale, let alone when becoming an immortal.

"Still, seeing a more accurate future is always a good thing."

Yun Ye shook his head. He knew he had to make a trip to the Sea of Non-Reversal. The Future Divine Law could not be explained through a few spirit patterns and spiritual properties. It required a vast quantity of divine materials, and such materials existed only in the Sea of Non-Reversal. Even if Yun Ye used the Heavenly Stems Universe to create them, he could only approach the effect, never fully achieve something similar.

In fact, the higher-grade the law, the more precious the external conditions it required. Moreover, these external boosts from beyond the world were enough to raise an individual's strength exponentially.

Shenmie Shi of the Five Elements Complete Divine Body had opened up a boundless great world and was known as the Heavenly Emperor, yet he still had the Water Emperor as an opponent. That was precisely because the Water Emperor cultivated the Dao Canon and possessed the Immortal Race as his foundation. His starting point had crushed Shenmie Shi's by countless times. If not for Shenmie Shi's Five Elements Grotto-heaven being truly terrifying, the Water Emperor would certainly have become the victor, adding yet another layer of foundation to the Immortal Race.

Yun Ye casually incorporated the Future Divine Law into the derivations of the Ten Heavenly Stems Law. After observing the changes among the stars of the Heavenly Stems Universe for a moment, he once again opened the Boundless Dao Canon and began reading the Saint Path Law.

"The origin of the Saint Path Law can no longer be investigated, but this law was created by the sages of old to break the blockade imposed by True Immortals."

"At first, this law was very ordinary and attracted no attention at all. But as one Saint Path Cultivator after another perfected it, one day, a cultivator achieved Great Success in the Saint Path and obtained the Heavenly Crown Dao Artifact. In a short time, he accomplished the feat of altering the world's laws."

"He altered the laws governing True Immortals descending to the lower realm. Originally, the fluctuations emitted when a True Immortal descended to the lower realm were only one. After the alteration, however, those fluctuations would become one hundred million, ten billion..."

"No one knows the exact figure. But from that point onward, True Immortals never again acted recklessly. The possibility of becoming an immortal increased tremendously. Without a doubt, the Saint Path made a stunning entrance, and the True Immortals were shaken with fear."

"For this reason, the Saint Path was regarded as a threat far surpassing the Imperial Path. Multiple members of the Immortal Race purged the Red Heaven and eradicated the traces of the Saint Path. Afterward, Profound Heaven became an immortal and further created the Three Heavens of today. All of these were shackles born to seal away the cultivation method of the Saint Path."
