The Tang Family Jade Pendant Concealed a Secret

The Initial Universe.

Those who can set foot in this place have all paid an enormous price, so they cherish their time and wish they could use every minute and second to cultivate the laws.

Over time, a sense of indifference and distance grew between them.

For this reason, the Tang An family made a pact to reunite once every hundred years.

Firstly, they discussed their Law Comprehension, though Tang Ping was the one guiding them most of the time. Secondly, they took advantage of this brief gathering to reminisce about their blood ties and reflect on the joys and sorrows of their cultivation journey.

"Dad! I'm absolutely confident I've broken through to the Immortal Realm!" Tang An exclaimed excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Tang Ping nodded with satisfaction. "Good! Good! Good! You truly are the pride of the Old Tang Family! From now on, the fate of our Tang Family rests on your shoulders!"

"Daddy, Daddy! Me too! Me too!" Tang Guo, not to be outdone, puffed out her little chest and proudly declared, "I'm just one step away from the finish line too!"

Last time my sisters and I went to consult King Anle, he said himself that I would be able to completely comprehend the Lightning Origin Law in a hundred years at most, or a few days at least! Many female cultivators envy me!

Speaking of King Anle, he was quite an extraordinary person in Chaos City.

This man's reputation wasn't exactly good, yet he had a particular fondness for discussing cultivation with the exceptionally beautiful Anzi. Over time, a strange phenomenon emerged in Chaos City: every ten years, the city's female cultivation geniuses would travel together to visit King Anle.

This action served two purposes: firstly, to silence public opinion and prevent people from accusing him of being promiscuous while practicing cultivation; secondly, King Anle seemed to particularly enjoy being surrounded by women of all kinds seeking his advice.

Of course, this powerful figure was also notoriously picky about aesthetics. If a female cultivator from Alien Race appearance did not meet his standards came to his door, she would often be turned away without even being allowed to enter. This behavior enraged many of the Alien Race ancestors.

What's the difference between this and verbally abusing their ethnic group for their ugly appearance to their face?

Despite their anger, these ancestors only dared to grumble in the Virtual Universe; not one of them dared to come and demand an explanation. This greatly disappointed those who were waiting to see the show.

This King Anle is so arrogant, why doesn't anyone teach him a lesson?!

"Yes, Guoguo is amazing too!" Tang Ping smiled and ruffled his daughter's hair, his eyes full of affection.

Even though Tang Guo was thousands of years old and a mother of several children, in his eyes she was still that little girl who would tug at his clothes and whine, begging to buy a first-tier Origin Force combat skill.

Time really flies.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone got down to business. They first reported on their cultivation progress over the past period, and then Tang Ping began to point out the omissions in their understanding of the laws. He even personally demonstrated the operation of the Wind-Thunder Laws of Origin with his own Divine Power, and showed everyone the profound changes of the Space-Time Laws without missing a single detail.

The light of the laws illuminated the void, and everyone devoted themselves to comprehending them, feeling as if their minds had been enlightened, and each of them gained a great deal.

Tang Ping's expression turned serious after the lecture ended.

With a wave of his hand, he took out a jade pendant from his own World Lord World. The jade pendant was crystal clear, its emerald green color resembling a pool of spring water, and its surface was engraved with Law Secret Patterns.

Tang Ping handed the jade pendant to Tang An and said in a deep voice, "The time for comprehending the Initial Universe is extremely rare. You don't need to rush out to break through to immortality. Staying here and focusing on comprehending the Higher Time Origin Laws is the right path."

However, now that you have grasped the Wind Law, you can activate this jade pendant and see the true secret hidden within.

"Um!"

Tang An nodded emphatically, solemnly accepting the jade pendant with both hands. Immediately, a World Force was slowly poured into it.

Buzz~

Suddenly, the jade pendant burst forth with a dazzling emerald light, and countless Flowing Light emanated from it, swirling and dancing in the void before finally coalescing into a three-dimensional Secret Pattern Diagram. The pattern was layered upon layered, numbering in the thousands, with each line mysterious and unfathomable, as if containing the secrets of the beginning of the universe.

This is actually a puzzle to solve.

Tang Ping explained with a smile, "You need to use your own World Lord Power to control the Law Essence contained in these secret patterns, rearrange and recombine them, and finally evolve a secret technique that has reached at least the level of immortality."

Once you fully grasp the Laws of Origin of wind, this question won't be difficult for you.

Tang An nodded in understanding, then sat cross-legged and focused on solving the puzzle.

Time passed slowly, and ten days later...

As Tang An's fingertips released the last wisp of World Force, triggering the crucial secret rune, the pattern in the void suddenly trembled.

Click!

Countless secret patterns rapidly circulated and recombined, the extremely complex patterns fading away layer by layer, ultimately condensing into an extremely simple character, which was none other than the word from the Universal Language: Wind!

The next moment, the character "wind" trembled slightly, then transformed into a stream of Flowing Light and disappeared back into the jade pendant.

As if triggering some hidden rule, the jade pendant rapidly melted in the light, turning into a pool of emerald green liquid, which then slowly spread out and expanded, eventually transforming into an ancient map.

Everyone quickly gathered around for a closer look, and saw that the map depicted the area outside the east gate of Chaos City. However, what was puzzling was that the conspicuous red guide line on the map abruptly ended after only a short distance from the gate.

Everyone turned to look at Tang Ping.

Tang Ping rubbed his nose, looking troubled. "Actually, I'm not quite sure either. After you passed the test left by the ancestor, I received three pieces of jade like this in the package. Perhaps, we'll only be able to unlock the full picture of this map when all three of you break through to the Immortal realm."

"I see!"

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening and then felt relieved.

The three jade stones corresponded perfectly to the attributes of the three individuals. They were most likely automatically generated by some Smart Life based on their assessment results. Could it be that some powerful being, with nothing better to do, was constantly monitoring their every move and specially crafted these three jade stones just to amuse them?

"Go for it!" Tang Yiyi and Tang Guo smiled at each other and clenched their fists to encourage one another.

Unraveling the map's secrets and gaining freedom seemed within reach, igniting hope in everyone's hearts.

For the rest of the time, they sat together and chatted enthusiastically about all sorts of gossip and interesting stories from Chaos City.

Time in Chaos City has always been monotonous, like the same day over and over again for millions of years.

If there's any gossip, it's nothing more than the same old stories: which genius from the Five Great Powers conquered the Tongtian Bridge, and who reached which level; or which exceptionally talented prodigy perished in a dangerous secret realm.

But recently, a piece of news has caused a stir throughout Chaos City.

That was none other than the legendary, Invincible King Blade River King, who slaughtered Alien Race like chickens and dogs on the Outer Battlefield, but was actually just a Realm Lord!

This news has now become the focus of heated discussion among almost all the Immortal Expert King Rank in the Initial Universe.

Especially King Anle, whose voice was particularly loud, was arguing heatedly with someone, and the passing servants and young geniuses below the World Lord Rank heard it all.

You have to understand, many of these ordinary geniuses, even after cultivating for tens of thousands of years, would have a hard time surviving even the pursuit of Ordinary Immortal, let alone killing King-Rank Immortal.

"Blade River King could easily kill a peak-level King Rank expert, yet he was merely a Realm Lord? How could a Realm Lord possess such combat power! Absolutely impossible!"

"This is absolutely a rumor!"

"Rumors? The Monster Race and the Machine Race have already issued public bounties, and the reward is for the head of the Blade River King! How could this news be false?"

"But the aura of a Realm Lord and an Immortal are worlds apart! How could a Realm Lord possibly deceive the detection of so many powerful figures?"

"Rumors have long circulated that the Blade River King has obtained a Supreme Treasure! The power of this Supreme Treasure is enough to conceal one's aura and even unleash a pressure that can intimidate powerful enemies!"

"Supreme Treasure? That's something even Cosmic Venerable would fight tooth and nail for! How could Blade River King, a mere Realm Lord, possibly possess it?"

The discussions rose and fell, growing increasingly heated.

"If Blade River King is truly a Realm Lord, then who is he? His extraordinary abilities are even more unbelievable than those of Ke Di and others in history!"

"I bet it's Luo Feng! Luo Feng is the most monstrous World Lord of our Human Race this generation. He has already conquered the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain. His talent is comparable to that of a genius like Ke Di, a prodigy of all ages!"

"It might not be Luo Feng! In my opinion, it's more likely a super genius secretly hidden by the Human Race, even stronger than Ke Di and Luo Feng! That's why they deliberately fabricated the identity of the Blade River King for him and bestowed upon him Supreme Treasure to conceal his aura, all so that he could gain experience on the Outer Battlefield!"

"So many geniuses? Luo Feng is already a peerless genius, appearing only once every ten million epochs."

"Heh! You've forgotten Tang Ping, the First Elder of Earth, who gave away 30% of Earth's shares to me for free from the Cosmic Galaxy Milky Way, as well as the Star-Eating World Lord, Yang, and the Seven Sword King. My Human Race has too many geniuses."

"Our Human Race is about to rise!"

After chatting animatedly for a while, the group dispersed, satisfied, and returned to their cultivation grounds to continue their arduous training. After all, the titles of Human Race, peerless geniuses, and King-Rank Immortal were all too far removed from their reality.

Back then, they were young and ambitious, pontificating on the virtual world with boundless confidence.

At that time, they thought that world lords were nothing special, World Lord General were easy to obtain, and even Immortal God, Universe Country Lord, and F-class starships were nothing in their eyes.

But now that I'm this old, I realize how cruel reality can be.

Immortal Realm is harder than ascending to heaven! If it weren't for the trials of the Soul Hall, whether they could even touch the threshold of World Lord General is uncertain. As for things like F-class starships, being granted King Rank nobility Marquis Rank—

Haha, I can only dream about it.

This reality is truly disheartening.

Tang Ping finally breathed a long sigh of relief after the children had all left. Every time he met with the children, it was a huge test of his acting skills.

However, just imagining the surprise and emotion on the children's faces when they break through immortality, unlock the full picture of the treasure map, and see the treasure inside is quite amusing.

Expect.

Gaa gaa gaa~
