Lingyao City, inside an inn room.
Tai Lingxuan’s spiritual power enveloped the eighth-grade treasure, the Extreme Disk, which Chen Yuyang had “lent” to her.
While activating this treasure, the laws of heaven and earth contained within it were also triggered.
The golden veins symbolizing the laws of heaven and earth began to spread out with the Extreme Disk as the center, filling the entire room.
Tai Lingxuan felt the power of those laws of heaven and earth and closed her eyes, after which the Joyous Union Art began to circulate.
As if drawn by a natural pull, the Joyous Union Art operated with incomparable smoothness, and Tai Lingxuan entered a state of epiphany almost immediately.
Her eyes were tightly closed, her brows relaxed, and her breathing was long and deep.
Spiritual power transformed into a vortex with her as the center, merging the threads of the laws of heaven and earth into it.
Chen Yuyang stood to the side and watched Tai Lingxuan enter this state of epiphany, feeling somewhat surprised.
Master is gaining enlightenment quite quickly, at least faster than I expected.
It seems that the so-called “accumulating for a long time to break through suddenly” wasn’t just something I made up.
Master, back when she was in the Transformation God Realm, should have already walked a considerable distance in her comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth, but she was trapped for many years by the stagnant malignant Yin force in her body and could not break through.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuyang immediately took out spirit stones and began to set up arrays in the surroundings.
An array that could isolate divine sense detection and shield the aura of the heavenly laws in this room.
Whether it was others watching or attracting people with ulterior motives, neither was something Chen Yuyang wanted to see.
In a moment, the array was completed.
Meanwhile, Tai Lingxuan fell into a deeper epiphany, her body even being penetrated by those golden threads and merging with them.
…
Chen Yuyang’s pupils contracted slightly.
The unity of heaven and earth, the fusion of laws……
To be able to achieve this step, in Chen Yuyang’s view, Tai Lingxuan was already fully qualified to charge into the Mahayana Realm.
Her talent was truly enviable.
Although he himself had experienced this situation countless times during his Hundred Lifetimes and Hundred Refinements, he… had relied on the Hundred Refinements Sun Condensation to gradually improve his talent, only achieving this after more than a dozen lifetimes.
But Tai Lingxuan relied entirely on her own comprehension and talent.
After thinking for a bit, Chen Yuyang flipped his hand to take out another pile of spirit stones and laid down another array in the vicinity.
It was mainly a spirit-gathering array.
His Master was now deep in epiphany, and while it was not yet known what the harvest would be, it would be a great pity if she were forced to terminate the epiphany due to insufficient spiritual power.
Additionally……
Chen Yuyang thought for a moment and took out half a stick of incense from the Sumeru Sea of Consciousness.
It wasn’t that he was stingy, but rather that the origin of this half-stick of incense was truly not simple.
It was an incense he had found in an ancient immortal ruin, molded from pure laws, named “All-Encompassing Heavenly Union”.
Even among the entire family fortune of his hundred lifetimes, this All-Encompassing Heavenly Union incense definitely ranked among the top tier.
It wasn’t that Chen Yuyang was unwilling to part with it, but he had only obtained six sticks back then; he currently didn’t know how to manufacture this item, so there was one fewer for every one used.
In his Hundred Lifetimes and Hundred Refinements, he had already used four and a half sticks himself.
Even though there was only half a stick being taken out now, its effect in helping someone comprehend the laws of heaven and earth was absolutely top-notch.
As for its value……
One could only say it was immeasurable.
No matter how many top-grade spirit stones one had, they could never be exchanged for this thing.
Items of this level could only be bartered.
Exchanged for other items of equal value.
Rubbing his hands to produce a wisp of the invisible Primordial Fire, Chen Yuyang lit the All-Encompassing Heavenly Union.
In an instant, a rich and exotic fragrance permeated the air, and the power of the laws within the room became increasingly solid, turning from threads into intersecting chains that wrapped around the current Tai Lingxuan layer by layer.
Tai Lingxuan’s aura surged instantly, and the spiritual power around her body became even more turbulent and surging, forcing even Chen Yuyang to take a few steps back.
“Damn, there wasn’t even this much commotion when I had an epiphany…” Chen Yuyang couldn’t help but complain inwardly, his lips twitching.
Is this the gap between a genius and an ordinary person?
When he had epiphanies, the commotion was usually not large.
And the reason he could comprehend the laws of heaven and earth to his current level was entirely because the number of times he had epiphanies was too many.
After all, the time of a hundred lifetimes was there.
A genius’s epiphany might be comparable to ten or a hundred times that of an ordinary person.
But the number of times Chen Yuyang had epiphanies in these hundred lifetimes was at least eighty thousand, if not a hundred thousand.
Complaining inwardly, Chen Yuyang also closely monitored Tai Lingxuan’s state to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring.
However, at that moment, the sound of knocking on the door suddenly rang out.
Chen Yuyang frowned.
Knocking?
…
Was Junior Sister Ling Xi looking for them?
Chen Yuyang’s divine sense spread out.
However, the figure outside the door surprised him somewhat.
It wasn’t his Junior Sister.
Instead, it was……
Yan Luo!
Why did she come?
What was she doing here?
Chen Yuyang was puzzled internally, and he immediately stepped forward to open the door before the next knock sounded.
“Fellow Daoist Yan, is there something the matter?”
Chen Yuyang squeezed directly out of the room, closing the door behind him and forcing Yan Luo, who was standing in front of the door, to take a step back.
“Eh, why is it you?”
Yan Luo was somewhat surprised.
She had asked the shopkeeper, and the person living in this room should have been the Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader, Tai Lingxuan.
Could the shopkeeper have made a mistake?
“Can’t it be me?”
Chen Yuyang asked back indifferently, then continued: “Do you have some business?”
“I… I am looking for your Master, Sect Leader Tai. I… I am here to apologize.”
Chen Yuyang was stunned, a confused expression appearing on his face.
“To apologize? What are you apologizing for?”
“It’s… it’s about the matter from not long ago… I… my grandfather, he…”
“Your grandfather.”
Hearing this, Chen Yuyang’s expression suddenly turned cold.
“That person is your grandfather!”
Yan Luo couldn’t help but feel guilty under Chen Yuyang’s cold gaze, and even felt a trace of fear in her heart for some reason, her speech becoming hesitant.
“Yes, yes… I, I am very sorry, but, but my grandfather meant no harm, he just… I, anyway, grandfather already knows he was wrong and specifically sent me over to apologize.”
“That’s not right. Your surname is Yan, but that old thing’s surname is Long.”
But in the next second, Chen Yuyang’s brow relaxed as he asked with some confusion.
“The surname Long… oh, not that one, not that one. That one is my grandfather’s friend and has nothing to do with me. My grandfather was the one behind him, the tall and sturdy one.”
Hearing this, Yan Luo hurriedly explained.
“Oh… it’s that one.”
Chen Yuyang realized, thinking of the old man at the Great Circle of the Mahayana Realm behind Long Zhizheng at that time.
So that was actually Yan Luo’s grandfather.
Chen Yuyang recalled carefully.
Yan Luo’s grandfather hadn’t actually made things difficult for him.
At most, he had just stood by that guy from the Qiankun Sect.
But overall, Yan Dangmo was still considered fair, and had even prevented that guy from the Qiankun Sect from attacking in anger.
In a sense, he had even helped him.
Otherwise, given Long Zhizheng’s situation at the time, it wasn’t impossible for him to disregard his dignity and attack directly.
One matter was one matter; Chen Yuyang kept things very clear.
“Since that is your grandfather, then you don’t need to apologize.”
Chen Yuyang’s expression softened as he spoke to the young girl.
But Yan Luo panicked upon hearing this.
What did he mean by “don’t need to apologize”?
Could it be that he was unwilling to accept the apology and it was impossible to forgive?
“This, how can this be? My grandfather was in the wrong first. I… I must apologize. I, I want to find your Master and speak with her.”
Yan Luo bit her lip and said immediately.
If she couldn’t get through to Chen Yuyang, she would talk to his Master.
One of them would eventually understand.
Chen Yuyang shook his head with a look of regret.
“My Master is currently in the middle of an epiphany, and outsiders are not allowed to disturb her. If you want to see my Master, please go back first.”
Hearing this, Yan Luo felt that he was clearly trying to drive her away and became even more anxious, hurriedly asking: “You, where is your Master?”
Chen Yuyang pointed to the room behind him.
Having guessed Yan Luo’s thoughts, he spoke: “I’m not lying to you. My Master really is in an epiphany. She might even break through soon. You cannot disturb my Master at this time.”
Seeing Chen Yuyang speak so confidently, Yan Luo finally believed him a little:
“Truly?”
“What, do I need to swear an oath by the Heavenly Dao?”
Chen Yuyang gave a bitter smile and asked back.
The girl hurriedly shook her head: “No, no, no, of course not. I believe you. I naturally believe you.”
Chen Yuyang shook his head and simply pulled the door open a crack.
“See for yourself and you will know.”
Yan Luo peeked into the room and indeed saw Tai Lingxuan sitting cross-legged on the bed, wrapped in layers of golden chains.
She opened her mouth wide in shock.
“Substantialized Law Chains… is there always such a commotion when your Master has an epiphany?”
After a good while, Yan Luo suppressed the shock in her heart and asked.
Chen Yuyang smiled somewhat mysteriously.
He didn’t say yes, nor did he say no; he only pressed a finger to his lips, making a silencing gesture.
Yan Luo’s pupils dilated slightly, as if she had realized something.
“I, I understand. I won’t talk nonsense.”
“Mhm, it’s good that you know. Anyway… you can’t see my Master now. Besides, I truly don’t need your compensation. Your grandfather didn’t do anything to me. The fault lies with that guy from the Qiankun Sect.”
“So that’s how it is…”
Hearing this, Yan Luo finally felt completely at ease.
Yuyang is actually quite reasonable; she had thought he was very, very angry.
“But my grandfather told me to come and apologize.”
Chen Yuyang shook his head and asked back with a smile:
“At this point, why still talk about apologizing? Could it be that you look down on my Hehuan Sect?”
Upon hearing this, Yan Luo completely gave up on that idea.
“But, I still feel like I owe you something… Since you don’t want the gifts, then, how about I treat you to a meal?”
“Shouldn’t you be treating my Master to a meal? Why treat me? She was the one who was offended just now.”
Chen Yuyang couldn’t help but ask back.
Yan Luo was suddenly stumped by the question.
Her face turned red, and she bit her lip, unable to say another word for a long time.
“Anyway, I still have to protect my Master. If Fellow Daoist Yan has nothing else, please head back for now.”
Chen Yuyang said immediately after.
Yan Luo lowered her eyes in disappointment and nodded slightly: “Fine, since that’s the case, I will take my leave. Until we meet again!”
Chen Yuyang nodded and ignored her, turning back into the room.
But upon seeing Tai Lingxuan on the bed, Chen Yuyang was suddenly startled.
“Holy crap, why is my Master frozen!”
“Now she’s truly become an ice beauty.”
