More Than Three Thousand Rules Manifested at Once!

Luo Qiushan's gaze never left Lu Qing'an.

Her clear, cool eyes gleamed with a searching light, as if she were examining an unfathomable treasure.

From the moment she stepped inside, her intuition was frantically reminding her.

This person is not simple.

The fact that a genius who had cultivated the Rule of Cause and Effect to the peak was willing to follow behind him and call him "Brother Lu" speaks volumes.

"This person is someone who can be viewed this way by someone who has cultivated the Rule of Cause and Effect, and he doesn't seem simple. It's hard to say that he really has some ability." Luo Qiushan thought to herself, but her face remained calm.

Lu Qing'an felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, but he didn't say much. He simply said, "Okay, but there's a problem. After we join, can we go directly to the Heavenly Dao Assessment?"

His tone was casual and natural, as if he were asking about a trivial matter.

"Let's try the Five Elements Heavenly Dao Assessment first, just as practice." Lu Qing'an thought to himself, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Although he can now be invincible in the world with the million times the cultivation power stored in his sea of consciousness, cultivating the Great Dao is a different matter altogether.

He had already mastered the power of rules, but the power of the Great Dao was a higher level above the rules, which he had not yet truly come into contact with. He would first test the waters with the Heavenly Dao of the Five Elements to accumulate some experience.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qiushan gave a wry smile.

She shook her head slightly, her tone tinged with helplessness. "We only have a good relationship with the Heavenly Dao of the Five Elements, and we can go to them for assessment at any time. But someone like this fellow Daoist..."

She looked at Li Wensong with a hint of apology in her eyes. "He specializes in the Rule of Cause and Effect, and he must undergo the Heavenly Dao Assessment of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect. We, on the other hand, can only go for the assessment according to the normal rules, which will take some time."

The reason why the Nether Emperor Holy Sect can stand alone in the Hongmeng Holy Realm in the art of alchemy is because of its extremely close relationship with the Heavenly Dao of the Five Elements.

Thanks to this relationship, disciples of the Nether Emperor Holy Sect can enjoy many conveniences when taking the Great Dao of the Five Elements assessment, and can even apply for the assessment at any time without having to wait in line.

But the Great Dao of Cause and Effect is different.

The Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect transcends the Heavenly Dao of the Five Elements. It is one of the most supreme Great Dao in the Hongmeng Holy Realm, and its power far surpasses that of the Heavenly Dao of the Five Elements.

Even a powerful force like the Nether Emperor Holy Sect has no special privileges regarding this level of Heavenly Dao; they must obediently follow the rules.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'an waved his hand dismissively, "It's alright, he can wait. I'll just find the Five Elements Heavenly Dao Assessment first."

Li Wensong's brows furrowed slightly.

Instead of speaking directly, he secretly transmitted his voice to Lu Qing'an: "Brother Lu, the first Great Dao is extremely important. Are you sure you really want to cultivate just any Great Dao?"

His tone was clearly filled with worry and confusion.

He had walked this path before and knew how profound the influence of the first Great Dao was on cultivators.

The first Great Dao will lay the foundation for a cultivator's Great Dao, influencing the direction and difficulty of cultivating all subsequent Great Dao.

Although the Five Great Dao are also Great Dao, in terms of rank, upper limit, and power, they are far inferior to top-tier Great Dao such as the Great Dao of Cause and Effect and Effect and the Great Dao of Reincarnation.

Lu Qing'an simply smiled faintly and replied telepathically, "Don't worry, I'm different."

His tone was calm and resolute, exuding an undeniable confidence.

"I simply want to see how my strength changes after cultivating the Great Dao. Anyway, even if I only have the strength of the Eternal Realm and can only use the rules, I am invincible." Lu Qing'an chuckled to himself, not caring about the level of the Great Dao.

For him, the Great Dao was merely a tool, not the foundation.

He cultivated the Great Dao merely to experience its Great Dao power and see if he could further enhance his strength.

As for whether one cultivates the Great Dao of the Five Elements or the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, there is essentially no difference.

In any case, no matter what Great Dao he cultivates, he is invincible.

Luo Qiushan had been carefully observing Lu Qing'an from the side. Hearing his words, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist, do you primarily cultivate the Great Dao of the Five Elements?"

Her tone carried a hint of probing and speculation.

Lu Qing'an had just said he wanted to take the Heavenly Dao of the Five Elements test, and he said it with such certainty, which made her subconsciously think that Lu Qing'an's main cultivation must be the Great Dao of the Five Elements.

After all, although the Great Dao of the Five Elements is not as rare as the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, it is still one of the most difficult Great Dao to cultivate. Being able to cultivate it to its peak is already considered to be the work of a genius among ten thousand.

"I thought he was no worse than the one next to him, but if he only cultivates the Great Dao of the Five Elements, then there seems to be a gap." Luo Qiushan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Cultivators who Rule of Cause and Effect are extremely rare, even in the entire Hongmeng Holy Realm, and are sought after by all the top powers.

While the Great Dao of the Five Elements is also Great Dao, there are many more people who cultivate it, making the two incomparably rare.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'an revealed an extremely calm smile and said, word by word, "I don't have a major cultivation path. I have already cultivated all the rules to their limit."

Upon hearing this,

The entire space fell silent.

Silence reigned.

It was an absolute silence, so quiet you could hear the air moving, so quiet you could hear everyone's heartbeat.

The old man's teapot froze in mid-air, the tea flowing from the spout lingering in the air, forming an amber arc, as if time itself had stood still at that moment.

Li Wensong opened his mouth, then closed it again, then opened it again, finally letting out a heartfelt sigh in his heart, "Tsk tsk! Brother Lu's expressionless swagger! He's truly a role model for us all! I could never do that!"

Luo Qiushan and the old man beside her exchanged a glance.

Both of their eyes were filled with the same word.

Confuse.

Luo Qiushan took a deep breath, her tone clearly uncertain. "Fellow Daoist just said that you have cultivated all the rules to their ultimate limit?"

Her voice was very soft, as if she were confirming something that shouldn't be confirmed, as if she were asking for an answer that couldn't possibly exist.

"I must have misheard!" she frantically denied in her mind what she had just heard. "It's impossible for anyone to cultivate all the rules to their ultimate level! In the entire Hongmeng Holy Realm, I've never heard of such an existence!!!"

The Hongmeng Holy Realm has existed for countless ages, giving birth to countless geniuses, including many madmen who single-mindedly studied multiple rules.

Even the most brilliant geniuses in history could only master a few dozen rules to their fullest extent. Those who could master a hundred rules and achieve perfection were already legendary figures.

How many kinds of rules exist in the universe?

The Rule of the Five Elements metal, wood, water, fire, earth) are just the basics.

Above that are wind, thunder, ice, light, darkness; space, time; cause and effect, reincarnation, life, destruction; creation, yin and yang, chaos... In total, there are more than three thousand rules, encompassing all the Power of the Origin Source governing the operation of heaven and earth and all things.

Over three thousand rules, all mastered to their fullest potential?

The mere thought of it seemed utterly absurd and impossible.

Lu Qing'an simply smiled calmly.

He didn't say anything more, and suddenly his body trembled.

At that moment, more than three thousand kinds of strange phenomena based on rules bloomed behind him.

The first thing that comes to mind is the Rule of the Five Elements.

The golden, sharp energy transformed into a phantom of ten thousand swords ringing out in unison, their sword light covering the sky and earth, each Sword-Ray radiating a sharp edge capable of cutting through anything.

The azure wood spirit energy condensed into a boundless ancient forest, with towering ancient trees and vines like dragons, its life force so rich that it almost materialized.

After the Five Elements come Wind, Thunder, Ice, Light, and Darkness.

Then there's space and time.

Space Rule unfolded, the void behind him began to fold and twist layer upon layer, with countless spatial cross-sections appearing simultaneously, as if the entire world had been cut into countless fragments and then pieced back together.

As Time Rule, the phantom of the river of time slowly emerges, with countless images of the past, present, and future flashing alternately in the water. The sense of the passage of time makes everyone present feel a tremor on a spiritual level.

Next comes cause and effect and reincarnation!

The Rule of Cause and Effect transformed into billions of golden and black threads, spreading out across the sky and the earth. Each thread connected a cause and effect, the encounters between people, the connections between events, the good causes and the good results, the bad causes and the bad results. All the cause and effect connections in the world were manifested at this moment.

The Rule of Reincarnation are even more terrifying. The phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation slowly rotates behind him. The gates of the six realms —the Heavenly Dao, the Human Realm, the Asura Realm, the Animal Realm, the Hungry Ghost Realm, and the Hell Realm—open one after another, and the mysteries of life and death flow endlessly within them.

Then comes life and destruction.

The Rule of Vitality burst forth with green light, and the power of growth surges within it. Seeds break through the soil, tender shoots sprout, flowers bloom, and fruits ripen. The entire process of life from nothing to something cycles countless times in a single breath.

The Destruction Rule are the complete opposite. The black power of destruction condenses into an apocalyptic scene, with stars falling, the sky collapsing, and all things withering away. The ultimate destruction, where everything returns to nothingness, sends chills down one's spine.

More than three thousand kinds of unusual phenomena unfolded behind him one after another, and coexisted simultaneously.

What kind of scene was that?

The entire building of the Alchemy Guild was trembling. The runes and patterns used to reinforce the space were torn apart as if they were made of paper. The crystals embedded in the walls began to flash wildly, as if they could not withstand the pressure of this level of rule.

The registration room was constantly being expanded and compressed, as if it were about to collapse and shatter at any moment.

From the outside, a towering pillar of light shot up from the top of the Pill Cauldron- shaped building. The pillar of light was composed of more than three thousand colors, each color representing a Power of the Origin Source a rule.

The beam of light shot straight into the sky, piercing the clouds above the holy city and shaking the entire Underworld Emperor Holy City.

Countless cultivators looked up in the direction of the Alchemist Guild, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"That's... an anomaly of the rules?"

"No, is it one kind of rule anomaly? Or ten kinds? Or one hundred kinds?"

"This is insane! How many rules have erupted simultaneously? I can't count them! I simply can't count them all!"

"Quick! Investigate! Which powerful figure from the Alchemist Guild has made a move? Could it be that some peerless expert has come to cause trouble?"

The entire holy city was abuzz with excitement at this moment.

Inside the registration room, Luo Qiushan and the old man were completely petrified.
