Law of Heaven and Earth, Arrival

"Come, let's see if your supernatural powers are stronger, or mine!" roared the red-robed giant.

A giant golden fist, the size of a wheel, slammed down on the three incoming bolts of purple-gold divine lightning!

At the same time, the gauntlet-shaped magical artifact shone brightly with Golden Light.

However, just as the giant fist was about to collide with the divine lightning, "Wind Wings, Escape!"

Ji An's eyes were icy cold. With a thought, two enormous, semi-transparent wings, flowing with azure Flowing Light, instantly materialized behind him. The wings simply fluttered gently.

Call!

Ji An's figure left a blurry afterimage in place, skillfully avoiding a direct impact that could have shattered a small mountain.

At the same time, under Ji An's control, the three bolts of purple-gold divine lightning did not clash head-on with his fist.

Under Ji An's manipulation, they seemed to come alive, tracing three eerie arcs.

Of course, the "Thunder God Eye" isn't just about straightforward attacks; otherwise, it wouldn't be ranked among the top 100 supernatural powers in the Three Realms.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three bolts of divine lightning, like nimble venomous snakes, clung to the Golden Light covering the giant's body, reaching the red-robed man's heart in an instant.

"What?!" A hint of fear appeared on the red-robed giant's face.

It's important to understand that although he can Blood-Dropping Rebirth, if he were hit head-on, even as a cultivator at the peak of the Godfiend Body Refining Violet Palace Complete stage, he would be severely injured. Keep in mind that this is a life-or-death battle.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The penetrating sound rang out almost simultaneously.

Boom-!

The terrifying power of divine lightning erupted from his chest in the next instant!

A burst of purplish-gold lightning erupted from the giant's chest like a volcanic eruption, forming a blinding sphere of light.

His proud Godfiend Body Refinement was utterly ineffective in the face of the lightning from "Thunder God Eye"!

"Uh--why!" The red-robed man's eyes were filled with disbelief and a little confusion.

He didn't understand why just three bolts of Thunder had completely depleted his divine power at the peak of the Violet Palace Complete Mansion realm.

His massive, mountain-like body stiffened abruptly, and the Golden Light covering his entire body dissipated.

The divine power of "Law of Heaven and Earth" could not be maintained due to insufficient divine strength.

Having lost the support of divine power, his enormous body returned to its original size.

Then his body, like a puppet with its strings cut, plummeted straight down from the sky to the ground.

A powerful warrior of the Myriad Phenomena level, possessing the Law of Heaven and Earth, and cultivating both Qi Refining and body.

Under Ji An's activation of "Thunder God Eye," he was instantly killed, just like his junior brother who had reached the peak of the Violet Palace Complete realm.

Ji An stood in the air, the Wind Wings behind him flapping.

The purple light from Thunder God Eye on his forehead flickered as it casually swept over the two people, confirming that they were no longer alive.

With a wave of his hand, the storage treasures of the red-robed cultivator and Daoist Yunsong flew into his hand.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself." Ji An snorted coldly and put away his spoils.

He waved his hand and released the Void-Escaping Boat once more.

Wow!

The silver-gray boat reappeared, Ji An stepped inside.

The ship transformed into Flowing Light and continued flying rapidly towards Anchan City.

Ji An steered the Void-Escaping Boat, the interior of which was quiet.

He sat cross-legged in the boat, placing the storage treasures of Daoist Yunsong and the red-robed cultivator—a ring and a bracelet—in front of him.

"Not having Qi Refining power is troublesome." Ji An frowned slightly.

His powerful Crimsonbright divine power surged within him, and he clenched his fist tightly over the two magical treasures he had stored!

"Click!" "Click!"

Two crisp sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

Under Ji An's terror, the two storage treasures were instantly damaged, their internal spatial structures collapsed, and their contents spilled onto the ship's deck.

That is, the "entry point" of Ji An's Great Dao of Heaven and Earth; otherwise, it would be really difficult to do this, as who knows where these items would end up?

Ji An's gaze swept over the pile of items Daoist Yunsong.

Several Human Rank magic treasures were scattered among them: a high-grade flying sword, three mid-grade armor, shields, and rope-type magic treasures, and the rest were some bottles and jars of pills, scattered Essence Stones, and a dark blue book.

He picked up the animal-skin booklet, the cover of which read "Shadow Erosion Bone Claws ".

Ji An casually flipped through a few pages, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

The Poison Claw Technique recorded in this manual is insidious and vicious, specifically designed to break through protective qi. In terms of its sophistication and power, it is roughly equivalent to the Five Great Sword Techniques of the Ji Clan, which is quite impressive in the Yan Mountain region.

But for Ji An, it wasn't even of any reference value.

He casually tossed it back into the pile of items, thinking to himself, "Just some useless stuff, good enough to fill out the family's quota. As for these magic treasures, pills Essence Stones, they're better than nothing."

He waved his hand and put Daoist Yunsong's items into the Mustard Stone.

Next came the main event: aside from the two treasures obtained from the Water Manor, Ji An was not as wealthy as Wanxiang Adept.

Ji An's gaze shifted to the red-robed cultivator's belongings.

The most eye-catching items were a dozen or so jade bottles, emanating a rich and pure energy fluctuation.

Ji An picked up a bottle, scanned it with his Divine Sense, and finally a satisfied smile appeared on his face, "More than a hundred catties of Essence Liquid! They killed quite a few people, this is not a small fortune, enough for me to quickly improve my realm after entering the Qi Refining stage."

Beside it, the Flaming Banner lay quietly on the ground, its surface shimmering with flames, exuding an extraordinary aura; it was clearly a mid- Earth Rank magic treasure.

Ji An picked it up and examined it. "Mid- Earth Rank, its power is decent. However, I don't need it, but I can sell it to exchange for some Essence Liquid or other necessities."

Finally, his gaze fell upon a secret manual made of animal hide among the red-robed monk's belongings.

The animal hide was made of an ancient material, exuding a wild and untamed aura.

The cover features four characters representing gods and demons, each stroke seemingly imbued with the imagery of power supporting the heavens and treading the earth.

The Law of Heaven and Earth!

Ji An's pupils contracted, and his breath caught in his throat.

"Haha!" A delighted laugh echoed inside the cabin.

"It's like a pillow being delivered to someone just when you're about to doze off!" Ji An's eyes gleamed brightly.

He had just made a decision to wait two years until the "Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram" reached its ninth level before joining the Yinglong Guard.

Unexpectedly, the supernatural power this person gave him meant he no longer had to wait two years.

Although his strength was similar to that of an ordinary Myriad Phenomena Perfection Stage of the Myriad Manifestations realm, that was because he relied on the "Thunder God Eye" and the True Meaning " of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.

However, these two things cannot be exposed casually; whether exposing the latter would be good or bad is unknown.

But the former—as one of the top hundred supernatural powers in the Three Realms —even if those people don't recognize its value, their power is evident. And what if an immortal were to intervene?

But the "Law of Heaven and Earth" is different.

This supernatural power, widely known throughout the Three Realms, is the perfect "pretext."

"The Seventh Layer the Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram, the Purple Violet Palace Divine Demon Body, already has a basic strength equivalent to an ordinary late-stage Violet Palace cultivator. If I were to supplement it with this Law of Heaven and Earth —even if I only mastered the first level, my strength would barely reach the threshold of the Myriad Phenomena realm." Ji An.

"Under normal circumstances, when I reveal my Violet Palace God-Demon cultivation, supplemented by the Dao Domain Thunderfire, my strength is comparable to the early stage of the Myriad Phenomena. Although this is already astonishing enough, in the vast territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, such a person, while a genius, is still acceptable."

"Once I unleash the 'Law of Heaven and Earth'!" Ji An pondered, "Even if my 'Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram' level doesn't improve, with the control and integration of the Power of Heaven and Earth through the Dao Domain, my combat strength will definitely be able to steadily reach the late stage of the Myriad Phenomena. In fact, in close combat, it will be enough to suppress ordinary late-stage Myriad Phenomena Qi Refining cultivators!"

"Late stage of the Myriad Phenomena! This is one of the normal thresholds for Yinglong Guard to recruit! Moreover, this is a genius who primarily uses Godfiend Body Refinement tempering, supplemented by profound understanding of the Dao. While dazzling, it is still within an acceptable range."

The more Ji An thought about it, the more he felt he was incredibly lucky.

The appearance of the red-robed Daoist priest was a perfect and direct solution to his immediate crisis!

He eagerly opened the manual.

The front of the animal skin scroll depicts a towering giant, his feet planted on the earth, his head reaching the heavens, his body's acupoints resonating with the Heaven and Earth.

An ancient and majestic aura wafted over me.

The opening is the general outline. "Following the Law of Heaven and Earth, the foundation of physical supernatural powers. Drawing upon the Power of Heaven and Earth to strengthen one's own form. With a massive form comes immense strength, and with immense strength comes overwhelming power—transforming into a nine-zhang, ninety-nine-zhang, nine hundred and ninety-nine-zhang body—and finally, even a ten-thousand-zhang divine body, with the power to uproot mountains and rivers!"

The following section details the cultivation methods, how to draw upon the primordial energy of Heaven and Earth to temper the physical body's particles, and how to use divine power as a guide to communicate with the laws of Heaven and Earth, allowing the divine and demonic bodies to temporarily break free from their shackles and undergo a transformation in their life level.

Of course, this book, "The Law of Heaven and Earth," is not the complete version.

It only has a version up to the level of the Myriad Phenomena, but that's enough for Ji An.

"Indeed profound and mysterious, it truly deserves to be one of the most widely circulated and practical supernatural powers of the physical body." Ji An watched with rapt attention.

Although the "Law of Heaven and Earth" is not as uniquely heaven-defying as the "Star Seizing Hand," it is still remarkable that most of the powerful beings in the Three Realms cultivate it.

Its versatility and the terrifying boost to basic combat power are exactly what cultivators of the Divinefiend Body-Refining Path dream of.

One month later.

"We've finally arrived at Anchan City," Ji An exclaimed.

If Ji An had traveled normally, he would have arrived at Anchan City much sooner. However, Ji An also managed to successfully cultivate the "Law of Heaven and Earth" along the way.

Ji An looked into the distance.

In the distance, on the endless land below, stood a colossal city whose end could not be seen at a glance. Even though it was a thousand miles away, Ji An could faintly sense the fluctuations emanating from that majestic city. Although the fluctuations seemed weak, they had immense power.

Even with just his naked eye, Ji An felt an invisible pressure.

When they were within a few dozen miles of Ancheng, Ji An Void-Escaping Boat and landed on the ground.

Flying above Anchan City is forbidden for those below the Primordial Spirit level. Ji An will inevitably be able to fly within this city in the future, so now? That's just courting death.

Ji An gazed at Anchan City in the distance. This was an ancient city that had existed since the God and Demon Era. At this moment, Ji An was only a few dozen miles away from the city. He could feel the incredibly surging power of Heaven and Earth and earth constantly gathering into the city, and at the same time, a terrifying sense of pressure was coming from it.

"If I cultivate within this environment, I'm afraid I could reach the ninth level of my 'Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram' in less than two years."

Ji An walked towards the city gate of Anchan City. He was heading towards the east gate of Anchan City, which was a thousand feet wide and a hundred feet high.

"Enter the city and hand over one pound of Thunder Gold." A soldier dressed in Soldier Armor shouted directly at Ji An.

This is the entrance fee for Anchan City.

With a flick of his wrist, Ji An retrieved two fingernail-sized pieces of metal that shimmered with a bluish light, resembling gold. This was Thunder Gold, with a density far exceeding that of gold.

Of course, this is nothing to Xiantian Lifeform.

"Hmm." After accepting Thunder Gold, the soldier handed Ji An a book with a black cover.

Ji An entered the city and began to look through the black-covered book in his hand. The book had three words on the cover: "Anchan City". It was clearly an introduction to the entire Anchan City.

"Anchan City is 9,321 li long and 8,910 li wide. It is divided into the East City, South City, North City, West City, and the Anchan Marquisate."

The Anchan Marquisate is located in the very center of Anchan City, spanning eight hundred li in both length and width—an absolutely forbidden area! Trespassing is a capital offense!

The East City, South City, and North City are places where killing is forbidden and are the safest places to live—anyone who dares to make a move is tantamount to provoking the Marquis of Anwan! Therefore, many rogue cultivators and immortal practitioners gather in these three areas, and some old guys even live in seclusion here, leading peaceful lives.

This place is also a favorite residence for some wealthy merchants. These merchants have amassed enormous wealth through trade and live quite safely in Anchan City. It is even common for them to employ a large number of cultivators.

The western part of the city was also Ji An's destination this time.

The western part of the Anchan City!

There are many places to enjoy yourself in the western part of the city.

The most famous of them is Heavenly Treasure Mountain!

The black book records, "Heavenly Treasure Mountain covers an area of six hundred li and is a mountain within the city. The entire mountain is hollowed out, containing countless treasures, selling spirit beasts and slaves, and engaging in all kinds of gambling—in short, every kind of pleasure you can imagine can be found in Heavenly Treasure Mountain. Moreover, behind Heavenly Treasure Mountain is the Great Xia Dynasty!"

In other words, Heavenly Treasure Mountain exists throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty!

As soon as Ji An entered the western part of the city, he could feel the difference between himself and the outside world.

While Violet Palace Cultivators are still relatively rare on the Yan Mountain land, they are practically a common sight here.

There are quite a few even among the Wanxiang Adept, but Ji An, who is above them, has not yet been seen.

It truly lives up to the saying, "Violet Palaces are as numerous as dogs," with Myriad Phenomena scattered across the land.

"No wonder it's the property of that Xia Emperor." Ji An looked at the distant mountain peaks and sighed.

The location of Heavenly Treasure Mountain's residence, just like its name, is a towering mountain peak that reaches into the clouds.

Ji An headed straight in that direction.

Even when passing by Treasure Exchange Market, Ji An didn't linger for long.

Ji An did not want to trade elsewhere. Other items were fine, but the Three Talents Demon-Slaying Sword Formation was something other cultivators wouldn't recognize as valuable.

While transactions are relatively cheaper here, the downside is also obvious: "Treasure Exchange Market" does not prohibit fighting.

As soon as Ji An arrived at the foot of the mountain, he saw a 26 or 27-year- Xiantian Lifeform emerge from a palace at the foot of the mountain to greet him.

"Would you like a guide, sir? Just five high-grade Essence Stones will suffice."
