Conquered!

Luo Qiushan's eyes widened to an unprecedented size. Her usually calm and composed gaze had completely lost its usual coolness, leaving only the purest and most primal shock.

Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Her body was trembling slightly, not from fear, but from an indescribable shock.

How many years has she lived? Even she herself can hardly remember.

The sect leader of the Nether Emperor Holy Sect had seen countless geniuses and prodigies, and even the holy sons and daughters of the top three holy sects, but she found them all to be nothing special.

But what she saw before her completely overturned all her understanding.

"Impossible! How could this be!!!" she screamed inwardly, almost losing her composure. "Someone can really cultivate all the rules?! This isn't a legend! This isn't a myth! It's real! He really did it!!!"

She suddenly realized how ridiculous her previous guess about "majorly cultivating the Great Dao of the Five Elements" was.

How could someone who has mastered over three thousand rules to the extreme possibly have a "major focus"?

In his hands, every rule is his primary focus, his ultimate goal, and his perfection!

The old man standing to the side was even more distressed.

The teapot in his hand had fallen to the ground, its body shattered, and the spiritual tea spilled all over the floor, but he was completely unaware.

Even Li Wensong, who already knew Lu Qing'an's strength, swallowed hard.

Although he knew that Brother Lu was very strong, and although he had personally witnessed Brother Lu's actions, when he actually saw more than three thousand rules blooming at the same time, he still felt a shock that came from the depths of his soul.

"This is the style of a super big guy! So damn cool!!!" Li Wensong shouted in his heart.

Lu Qing'an remained calm, as if the more than three thousand strange phenomena of rules behind him were nothing more than a trivial matter. He looked at the stunned Luo Qiushan and asked in a flat tone, "Fellow Daoist, how is it?"

Luo Qiushan was brought back to her senses by this voice.

She suddenly realized what was happening, and quickly cupped her hands in a gesture of unprecedented respect. "Fellow Daoist, your prodigious talent is unparalleled, even in all my years of life!"

She paused, a hint of guilt creeping into her voice. "Are you... are you sure you really want to join our Nether Emperor Holy Sect?"

Even she herself found the question somewhat absurd when she asked it.

The dignified sect leader of the Nether Emperor Holy Sect actually worries that his temple is too small to accommodate this great Buddha.

But that's the truth. The talent this young man has displayed has surpassed the definition of "genius." Even the top three Holy Sects would fight tooth and nail to acquire someone of that caliber.

"Is this really Rogue Cultivator?!" Luo Qiushan screamed inwardly, "How could Rogue Cultivator cultivate to this level?! You claim to be the Holy Son of one of the top three Holy Sects, but I feel that such a status is unworthy of you!!!"

Holy Son? What is that?!

Which holy son of a sacred sect could cultivate over three thousand rules?!

Which holy son of a holy sect can bring all three thousand-plus rules to their ultimate potential?!

Absolutely not!!!

In the endless history of the Hongmeng Holy Realm, there has never been such an existence before!!!

Lu Qing'an remained calm, simply nodding slightly. "That's right, is there a problem?"

Luo Qiushan shook her head rapidly and urgently, as if denying some huge misunderstanding. "No problem! Absolutely no problem!!!"

She was afraid that if she answered too slowly, this great Buddha would run off to another sect.

Lu Qing'an nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, let's talk about sect matters and how to take the Heavenly Dao Assessment later."

His purpose in coming here was very clear: joining the Nether Emperor Holy Sect was just a side benefit; his real goal was to undergo the Heavenly Dao Assessment and cultivate the power of the Great Dao.

Now that we've covered most of the groundwork, it's time to get down to business.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qiushan gave a bitter smile.

She carefully chose her words, her tone carrying a hint of persuasion and helplessness. "Fellow Daoist, you are such a prodigy, do you really want to cultivate the Great Dao of the Five Elements first? I see that you have cultivated the rules of Rule of Reincarnation, the Rule of Cause and Effect, and even the Rule of Vitality to their extremes. Wouldn't it be better to cultivate these Great Dao first?"

As she spoke, her gaze swept over the lingering, unsettling phenomena of rules behind Lu Qing'an.

The illusory image of the Six Paths of Reincarnation of Reincarnation, Rule of Reincarnation, was still slowly rotating; the golden-black threads of the Rule of Cause and Effect were still spreading in the void; and the green light of the Rule of Vitality was still pulsating vigorously.

These are all top-tier Great Dao, even higher in rank than the Great Dao of the Five Elements!

Instead of cultivating these top-tier Great Dao, why choose to cultivate the lowest-ranking Great Dao of the Five Elements first? Isn't that a waste of resources?!

Lu Qing'an glanced at her and asked in return, "Fellow Daoist, do you have a way to give me priority in participating in these Heavenly Dao assessments?"

Luo Qiushan's expression froze instantly.

She opened her mouth, but could only manage a helpless, bitter laugh, "Um, I really can't do that..."

The Nether Emperor Holy Sect is only related to the Heavenly Dao of the Five Elements, and can arrange for its disciples to be tested on the Great Dao of the Five Elements at any time.

However, the Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect and Heavenly Dao of Reincarnation and the Heavenly Dao of Reincarnation are all supreme beings. Even a power like the Nether Emperor Holy Sect cannot receive any special treatment from them and must wait in line according to the normal procedures.

The waiting time for the top Heavenly Dao assessments can easily be decades or even centuries.

Lu Qing'an shrugged, his tone casual and frank. "Then I'll cultivate the Great Dao of the Five Elements first. Anyway, I only need to pass the other Heavenly Dao Assessment later."

He spoke of it casually, as if cultivating one Great Dao first or Great Dao next made no difference to him whatsoever.

The hierarchy of the Great Dao and the order in which the Great Dao are ranked—things that other cultivators consider crucial—are nothing more than trivial matters in his eyes.

First cultivate the Great Dao of the Five Elements, then the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, and then the Great Dao of Reincarnation; it's simply a matter of time.

He'll eventually master all the Great Dao anyway, so why worry about the order?

Luo Qiushan understood the implication in his words, and her wry smile deepened, "That makes sense..."

She discovered that her thinking was bound by preconceived notions about cultivation.

The reason why ordinary cultivators value the first Great Dao Great Dao that it lays the foundation for subsequent cultivation and has a profound impact.

But the person before me has mastered all three thousand rules to their fullest extent, which in itself has already shattered all common sense about cultivation.

For such beings, does the level of their Great Dao rank truly matter?

Luo Qiushan took a deep breath, no longer dwelling on the issue. Instead, she smiled and gestured for him to come closer, "Then, fellow Daoist, let's return to our sect and discuss this further!"

Lu Qing'an nodded. "Okay, lead the way."

He suppressed the strange phenomena of the rules behind him, and the more than three thousand kinds of light receded like a tide, restoring the registration room to its original state.

But the runes torn apart by the power of the rules, and the crystal walls covered with cracks, silently testified to the shock and reality of what had just happened.

Luo Qiushan raised her hand and opened a spatial rift, then stepped inside first.

Lu Qing'an and Li Wensong followed closely behind.
