Promoting the Law

Upon hearing the sound from the sky, Senior Brother Shi hurriedly rushed outside.

Although he had never heard of any Heavenly Venerate Lu, the fact that someone dared to use Heavenly Venerable as their title meant that they were a powerful being in the Mahayana stage.

His own ancestor, who Stone Seeking Sect, was only at the Nascent Soul stage. How could he, a mere Qi Refining cultivator from a remote area, dare to offend such an existence?

"Stone Seeking Sect, the Barren City, and the garrison of the Shi Xuan shrine, we respectfully await the Heavenly Venerate law!"

As Senior Brother Shi stumbled and staggered along the way, he didn't forget to shout loudly.

Two figures emerged from the clouds in the sky.

Senior Brother Shi had the good fortune to see him when he first entered the sect, so he was able to recognize the old man half a body length behind in the clouds as his own sect's patriarch, the Stone Seeking Sect.

Judging from their positions, it's clear that the young man in front is the leader of this group.

The young man possessed an extraordinary air and handsome features, yet he wore a somewhat eccentric outfit.

It wasn't a loose Daoist robe, but a black top and trousers set of moderate thickness. There was a zipper down the center of the bottom of the top, extending to the collar, and a square pocket on the left chest.

Senior Brother Shi found it strange, but dared not ask any questions rashly.

On the contrary, Mu Xin, who came out of the office with Senior Brother Shi, was dumbfounded when he saw the young man's attire.

As a fighter, he certainly recognized this style of clothing; he remembered that many people within the system liked to dress like this, it wasn't uncommon.

The problem is, this isn't the real world.

Isn't this the Cultivation World?!

The Stone Seeking Old Ancestor earnestly introduced, "This is an attendant of Heavenly Venerate Lu; you must comply with all his requests."

Senior Brother Shi bowed, somewhat bewildered.

Upon seeing this, the young man, who was said to be walking under the Heavenly Venerable, nodded slightly and then respectfully presented a jade slip.

"By imperial decree of the Heavenly Venerable, from this day forward, all cultivators..."

Heavenly Venerate walker finished reading the edict, he pointed a finger and emitted a burst of spiritual light, enveloping the jade slip within. He then presented it to Senior Brother Shi: "You must act in accordance with the Celestial Venerable's edict, and inform the people under your jurisdiction as soon as possible. You must not oppress the people, break the law, or violate discipline. If you disobey, you will be punished according to the law."

Having said that, the Heavenly Venerate walker and the Stone Seeking Old Ancestor quickly transformed into rainbow rays and departed.

Stone Seeking Sect's jurisdiction includes more than just this one Barren City; other places also need to be notified, so naturally, no time will be wasted.

Senior Brother Shi held the jade slip in both hands and bowed deeply. "Respectfully obeying the Heavenly Venerate law, Shi Xuan sees off the Heavenly Venerate walker and the Ancestor."

Only after the two rainbows in the sky had completely disappeared did he straighten up again.

He looked down at the jade slip in his hand, his expression slightly bitter.

There wasn't much profit to be made in this desolate wilderness, but unexpectedly, even this little bit of profit had to be shared.

Mu Xin leaned closer and cautiously asked, "Senior Brother Shi, what is the background of this Heavenly Venerate Lu?"

"Alas, I don't know either. How could I possibly comment on such an important figure?"

While responding, Senior Brother Shi released his divine sense to examine the contents of the jade slip.

The more he looked at his increasingly bitter expression, the more he complained, "If we really follow this law, what's the point of me cultivating immortality?"

Despite saying that, he still sent a message to the people in the market, intending to have his subordinates make copies of the jade slip's contents and distribute them.

There was no other way but to do it. According to the contents of the jade slip, a new Heavenly Venerate walker to inspect the area three months later.

If they find out he hasn't done anything for the past three months, he'll be in big trouble.

Senior Brother Shi was in a heavy mood, but when he looked up at Mu Xin, he found that this promising Immortal Seedling he was preparing to recruit into the sect looked even worse than himself.

Unable to resist a wry smile, he teased, "Junior Brother Mu, you've embarked on the path of immortality now, but you've missed the opportune time."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xin forced a smile, "It's alright, the best is yet to come."

As a fighter, he naturally didn't care what kind of system this world had; no matter how tough it was, it would just continue until the fight ended.

What truly astonished him was the attire of the Heavenly Venerate walker, the actions of that Heavenly Venerate Lu, and this damned law.

It seemed as if everything was telling him one thing: the true identity of this Heavenly Venerate Lu was that of a deathmatch fighter.

"How is this possible?" Mu Xin's eyes were as cold as water.

Even though he hasn't yet entered the path of cultivation and hasn't officially embarked on the path of cultivation, he has come to understand how difficult it is to cultivate immortality by spending time with Senior Brother Shi these past few days.

All the Death Warriors arrived in this world at the same time. In such a short period of time, there are probably very few Death Warriors who have even successfully Foundation Establishment. How could any Death Warrior have already taken control of the entire Cultivation World?

That's absolutely unbelievable.

Mu Xin, you have such a precious time; you can't let it slip away like this any longer.

The fighter secretly made up his mind and said, "Senior Brother Shi, please invite me into the sect as soon as possible. If I succeed in my cultivation, I will repay your kindness a hundredfold."

Mu Xin wasn't the only one who felt the urgency of the fight to the death.

As a large number of Heavenly Venerate walker spread Lu Bai's will throughout the world, more and more deathmatchers guessed Lu Bai's true identity.

No matter how incredible these fighters are, the facts are undeniable and leave no room for doubt.

Whether it's for victory in Deathmatch Showdown or simply to survive, the gap in strength has widened to this point, and we can no longer afford to sit idly by and wait for death.

A large number of fighters immediately sprang into action, attempting to muddy the waters of Xuanzhou using various methods.

Unfortunately, these fighters are currently at an average level of not even having reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so they can't make any waves at all.

But at this moment, Xuanzhou didn't even need these death fighters to exert any influence; it was already boiling hot, like a pot of water.

After all, the implementation of the Lu's Law offended far too many cultivators.

The mere principle of "a life for a life" is enough to provoke opposition from a large number of low-level, independent cultivators.

Unlike disciples of long-established sects, low-level independent cultivators can only be humble and subservient to any cultivator, fearing to offend their seniors.

The only thing that could give them a sense of superiority was the vast number of people.

Of course, there are also cultivators at the bottom who are devoted to the Dao, but they are not many. If they were truly determined in their Dao, their cultivation would have already improved, and they would not need to oppress mortals.

Not to mention that the law also involves topics that cannot be touched, such as resource allocation and class conflict. If strictly implemented, it would undoubtedly seriously affect the interests of cultivators.

Therefore, opponents have emerged one after another.

The most radical among them are naturally the cultivators who practice various Demonic Arts.

Righteous cultivators only experienced a decline in treatment, but Demonic Cult cultivators had their entire future cut off.

I simply can't stand it.

A large number of low-level cultivators emerged from the mountains to cause chaos, and some of the more ruthless ones went so far as to massacre mortals.

Thinking that so many cultivators were opposing it anyway, and there's a saying that "the law doesn't punish everyone," they figured they couldn't just kill them all, could they?
