Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

Since the Styx Ancestor had set a precedent, after Zhen Yuanzi and the Queen Mother of the West announced the end of the Fruit Assembly, everyone left one after another.

Before leaving, the Holy Mother Guiling said to Ying Zheng, "Now that Junior Brother has attained the Great Luo Dao, it is time for him to pay his respects to Master."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's expression became slightly complicated: "I will set off immediately after I have finished my tour of Time City."

Knowing her inner turmoil, the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit said nothing more, only handing her a coordinate:
"This is the location of Master's Daoist temple, Biyou Palace, in the Yu Yu Tian Great World. You can go there whenever you understand. Time-Space City is indeed worth exploring, after all, it is that senior's Daoist temple. A grand treasure exchange event will be held soon, you might as well go and observe. The Dao you cultivate must encompass all paths, this trip should be very beneficial."

Ying Zheng took the coordinates and said softly, "I understand."

After giving an encouraging look, the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit left. Ying Zheng stared at the coordinates in his hand, lost in thought, and finally walked out of the Dao Discussion Hall and strolled through the Time-Space City: "The Great World of Yu Yu Heaven? I will go there myself. But first, let's see what's so mysterious about this Treasure Exchange Conference that makes Senior Sister so highly recommend it."

Considering his true cultivation level and appearance revealed at the Dao Discussion, Ying Zheng suppressed his own Dao at the level of the Five Elements Laws and resumed acting as the Heavenly Venerable of Heavenly Evolution.

According to the information he gathered in Time and Space City, the Treasure Exchange Conference was composed of many Great Luo powerhouses, and occasionally even Hunyuan giants would descend upon it.

It has extremely high standards and only accepts innate, indestructible spiritual light as the basic currency for transactions.

It should be known that the innate immortal spiritual light was formed by the erosion and condensation of chaos when the world was destroyed, and it can be used to refine innate spiritual treasures.

The more innate, indestructible spiritual light one possesses, the higher the quality of the innate spiritual treasure one can condense.

Even a fully formed innate spiritual treasure can be enhanced by infusing it with innate undying spiritual light to strengthen its foundation and improve its quality.

This made the innate, indestructible spiritual light even more sought after, with some even going so far as to destroy numerous worlds to collect it.

Of course, there are also powerful individuals who can directly extract innate, indestructible spiritual light from chaos.

However, only those at the Hunyuan Wuji realm can achieve this; ordinary Hunyuan giants are powerless to do so.

Ying Zheng stepped into the trading space of the Treasure Exchange Conference, where a vast world unfolded before his eyes, with space extending infinitely.

A terrifying aura permeated the area, but this was only because everyone inside the Time-Space City had restrained their power; otherwise, the scene would have been even more magnificent.

Looking around, Ying Zheng could see that nearly a thousand Great Luo had gathered here.

This demonstrates the immense fame of the Treasure Exchange Festival, which was held once every hundred years.

The fact that so many Great Luo cultivators can gather here each time demonstrates the importance of Time-Space City in the hearts of the Great Luo cultivators.

As Ying Zheng entered, he saw the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable surrounded by raging flames on the platform, displaying the innate Geng metal in his hand to the fellow Daoists.

All things that are born from the collision of numerous laws and great principles within the chaotic sea.

Although this innate Geng metal may not seem large, its actual volume is comparable to a small world, enough to refine an acquired innate spiritual treasure.

"Exchange this innate Geng metal for an equivalent amount of innate fire essence. If that's not available, we can also accept innate undying spiritual light at a premium!"

Seeing this, Ying Zheng understood that the Treasure Exchange Conference would favor bartering, with the Innate Undying Spiritual Light merely an alternative.

Although the innate immortal spiritual light can nurture innate spiritual treasures, the required quantity is extremely large.

Moreover, nurturing an innate spiritual treasure with innate, indestructible spiritual light requires the support of massive resources.

If one wishes to obtain an innate spiritual treasure that aligns with one's own cultivation principles, one needs to be nourished by similar innate resources. For example, this innate Geng metal meets the requirements.

However, wouldn't it be more practical to refine acquired spiritual treasures using innate Geng metal?

After all, apart from lacking the characteristics of innate spiritual treasures such as suppressing fortune, acquired spiritual treasures are in no way inferior in terms of combat power.

Therefore, even among many Great Luo Immortals, innate spiritual treasures are extremely precious. In the past, the Heavenly Venerable Tianyan possessed the superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Five Elements Whisk.

It was cultivated by exhausting all the resources available after attaining enlightenment, making it a truly extravagant endeavor.

The resources required to cultivate one superior innate spiritual treasure are enough to refine two or three superior acquired spiritual treasures under the same conditions.

"I will offer one Innate Fire Pearl, and the difference will be made up with nine Innate Undying Spiritual Lights!" said a Grand Luo cultivator who practiced the sword path, his words revealing his sharp edge.

Seeing that no one else was bidding, the Grand Luo Daoist on the platform had no choice but to accept the deal: "Let's exchange it then, fellow Daoist."

The Innate Fire Pearl and the nine Innate Undying Spiritual Lights fell into the hands of the Dao Platform Grandmaster. Ying Zheng gazed at the Innate Undying Spiritual Lights, sensing their unique nature.

He had never come into contact with this object, but he had seen similar things before—objects produced when the Primordial Dao collided with Chaos.

However, its status and mystique are far inferior to the innate, indestructible spiritual light.

Could those be the degenerate forms of the innate, indestructible spiritual light?
If this is true, does it mean that after the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos grows further, it will be able to create innate, indestructible spiritual light?
This is tantamount to having a money-printing machine, which is good news for Ying Zheng, who is currently short of money.

Although after winning the prize at the Daoist Conference, Ying Zheng's wealth was no less than that of the veteran Ronaldo.

But who would complain about having too much wealth and resources?
At this moment, thousands of Great Luo Immortals have gathered in the arena, but unfortunately, there is an inexplicable power in this space that suppresses the manifestation of the laws of these Great Luo Immortals.

This caused their extraordinary laws to only be visible within a three-inch space around them.

This made it quite inconvenient for Ying Zheng to comprehend the cultivation laws of the Great Luo Immortals.

Ying Zheng knew that this was the key to the continued success of the Treasure Exchange Conference.

With a powerful expert of the Primordial Chaos level in charge, who would dare to cause trouble at the Treasure Exchange Conference?

At the same time, Ying Zheng was also planning how to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain items containing divine laws, such as innate spiritual treasures and rule crystals.

These were crucial for replenishing the Primordial Dao. However, upon taking stock of his possessions, Ying Zheng discovered that he had nothing suitable to trade.

Prizes obtained, such as three Chaos Ginseng Fruits, Chaos Ren Water Peaches, Karmic Fire Red Lotus Seeds, Merit Golden Lotus Seeds, and Chaos Spiritual Water Essence, must all be used to comprehend the laws or enhance one's strength.

Suddenly, Ying Zheng remembered the primordial crystal he had previously condensed using the Great Dao.

It contains the power of the Primordial Dao, which can guide the Great Luo on a shortcut to enlightenment.

Even if one cannot directly embark on the path of cultivation, one can still help them advance in their cultivation, hence they are highly sought after by the Great Luo Immortals.

However, there are certain risks involved in the condensation of such Dao crystals.

If the enemy obtains it, they may be able to deduce the flaws in the Great Dao, which would be extremely disadvantageous in battle.

However, Ying Zheng had no such worries, because his Great Dao of Primordial Chaos was constantly growing, encompassing all laws through his comprehension and continuously perfecting them by absorbing their essence.

Even if the enemy discovers its flaws and ingenuity, they are nothing more than remnants of the past.

If you grow fast enough, you can leave all your competitors behind, or even set traps for them.

Therefore, Ying Zheng had made up his mind, but was still unwilling to reveal his identity.

After all, this was a loss of face, so he decided to continue refining the Five Elements Law Crystal as the Heavenly Venerable of Heavenly Evolution.

In the blink of an eye, supported by the Primordial Dao, he had condensed over a hundred of them.

If this number were to spread, it would be enough to shock all the great Luo Immortals.

Extracting and crystallizing the laws one has come to understand for others to comprehend is the most mentally taxing process.

Even a single ordinary Luo can not be formed in hundreds of millions of years.

However, Ying Zheng managed to condense over a hundred of them in an instant.

This demonstrates the immense power of his primordial spirit. Examining these crystals of the Five Elements Laws, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with thought: "These should be enough for the transaction." Although he had not yet fully comprehended the Five Elements Laws, he had reached 85% of the level, which was 50% higher than the original Heavenly Venerable Tianyan.

Seeing the previous Great Luo Heavenly Venerable leave in disappointment, Ying Zheng suddenly appeared on the Dao Platform.

The crowd of Great Luo Immortals below the stage were surprised to see this unfamiliar figure, but they didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that he was probably a newly promoted fellow Daoist.

The Treasure Exchange Conference is held once every hundred years, a period long enough for the lucky ones to attain the Great Luo realm.

What they were more interested in was what Ying Zheng would offer in exchange.

With a flick of his sleeves, Ying Zheng revealed hundreds of crystals representing the Five Elements Laws floating in mid-air.

The imagery manifested by the Five Elements Laws was perceptible to all the Great Luo Immortals below the stage through their divine senses.

To showcase the treasures, the extraordinary power of these law crystals was not suppressed on the platform, allowing all Great Luo Immortals to perceive the profound Five Elements Laws contained within them.

It is at least a crystallization of rules condensed by a senior Grand Luo Immortal. If one can absorb and comprehend it, or keep it by one's side and ponder it, one may be able to comprehend the Five Elements Laws.

For the Great Luo Immortals, if their own cultivation of the laws stagnates, comprehending other laws to enhance their strength is also a good strategy.

Moreover, the more laws one comprehends, the stronger the Great Luo Immortal becomes. They might even be able to sublimate numerous laws into their own unique Great Dao.

After all, in the vast and boundless Chaos Sea, there naturally exists a system of three thousand Great Daos, and the vast majority of the Primordial Dao Lord positions are already occupied.

Nowadays, the only way to advance to the Primordial Chaos Realm is basically through comprehending the laws and constructing one's own Great Dao.

Or try to master those forbidden laws, or delve into extremely difficult laws.

These are common sense facts that all aspiring Daoists should know.

However, the numerous Great Luo Immortals below began to discuss Ying Zheng's act of condensing hundreds of law crystals as commodities for others to study.

"Is this guy crazy? Gathering over a hundred law crystals, how desperate is he? Isn't he afraid of being targeted?"

"Perhaps, who can say for sure? To be able to cultivate the Five Elements Laws to such a profound level shows just how strong one's self-confidence is!"

"Either he has a powerful backer, or he's genuinely stupid. But can a fool cultivate to the Great Luo realm? I don't believe it!"

"There must be something fishy about this, but I'm unwilling to give up these crystallized laws."

"Isn't he afraid of creating rivals? After all, those who cultivate the same laws are all enemies. But the Five Elements Great Dao does indeed already have a master, and that person is a terrifying existence who can reign supreme in the Primordial Chaos!"

"No wonder he condensed hundreds of law crystals so easily. It seems he knows this path is blocked and is preparing to switch to another path."

"Although the positions of the Five Elements Dao are already determined, it is not impossible to comprehend their profound mysteries to enhance one's strength or use them as resources to evolve one's own Dao in the future."

"..."

"I am Tianyan, and I have met you all. You have also seen these crystals of the Five Elements Laws, which are my items for trade. To be honest, I have already comprehended 85% of the Five Elements Laws, but unfortunately, the Great Dao of the Five Elements has already been claimed."

"In order to comprehend other laws and embark on my own path, I am willing to exchange these crystals of the Five Elements Laws for any item that contains the mysteries of other laws!"

With Ying Zheng's explanation, many of the Great Luo cultivators present understood the reason behind it.

Those who can achieve the Great Luo realm would never willingly allow their cultivation to stagnate.

Moreover, this person is a ruthless individual who has grasped 85% of the Five Elements Laws, making him a senior Grand Luo Immortal.

Unfortunately, when the Great Dao has a master, the master will suppress the Great Luo experts who cultivate the laws derived from that Great Dao, restricting their comprehension of the laws.

Basically, under the suppression of the Dao Lord, it is very difficult for any living being to cultivate this law to perfection.

Unless one obtains permission from the Dao Lord or encounters other extraordinary opportunities, it is already the limit for someone like Ying Zheng to comprehend 85% or 90% of the Dao.

The Great Luo Immortals present could all understand Ying Zheng's choice. They were also unwilling to see their own cultivation stagnate, and switching to other laws at this time was indeed a wise move.

This may also be why the Celestial Venerable Tianyan took out these crystallized Five Elements Laws for people to study and comprehend.

"But he's really confident, confident that he can comprehend other laws to make up for his shortcomings before others can target him!"

"In that case, I will offer a portion of Primordial Mysterious Spirit Water!"

"I'll offer a low-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Platinum Sword!"

"..."

As the bidding rallies resounded, naturally some of the thousands of Great Luo Immortals present could afford to pay the price.

This is a crystallization of laws; acquiring it is a huge profit. If one can comprehend the laws of the Five Elements through it, the profit will be even greater.

Moreover, the Five Elements principle is unique, consisting of a combination of five principles, including the principle of metal and the principle of wood.

It can be said to be an extremely difficult law to comprehend. If all else fails, comprehending any one of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, or earth—is also excellent.

This also caused the price of the Five Elements Law Crystals to rise, but with Ying Zheng agreeing to make up the price difference with the Innate Undying Spiritual Light, most of the Great Luo Immortals present could afford it.

Looking at the hundreds of treasures containing various laws before him, Ying Zheng was overjoyed.

With these treasures as guidance, Ying Zheng's understanding of the laws will be much smoother.

It is extremely difficult to comprehend the omnipresent laws within the endless chaotic sea.

It's much simpler to gain insight by using these items.

Ying Zheng estimated that it would take less than one epoch to fully comprehend these laws, integrate their essence into the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, and allow it to transform and sublimate once again.

According to Ying Zheng's prediction, at that time, it might be comparable to a Hunyuan giant with slightly weaker strength or flawed Dao fruit.

Meanwhile, a celestial being hidden in the shadows quietly took away the Five Elements Laws to study them, confident in his superior comprehension.

I intend to take this opportunity to understand its mysteries and even find loopholes to exploit.

At this moment, he looked at Ying Zheng with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Because his Great Luo Primordial Spirit was extremely sensitive, he dared not linger his gaze on Ying Zheng for too long.

However, when Ying Zheng was collecting these items, he sensed through the Hongmeng Dao that the Xuan Ying Needle, a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure, contained an extremely subtle restriction mark.

As long as it is not fully refined, its location will be sensed by its owner.

Ying Zheng didn't care about this at all, and didn't even try to erase the mark.

The owner of the mark seems to be a guy called Shadow Celestial.

His purpose in leaving a mark on this Xuan Ying Needle is self-evident.

But Ying Zheng was not afraid at all. So what if the other party had perfected the cultivation of the laws? Under the suppression of the Primordial Dao, even a Great Luo Immortal was no match for him.

He wanted to see what this Shadow Celestial Venerable was really up to; he figured he was just after the many treasures he had acquired.

It seems that no matter where he is, even as a Great Luo Immortal, he still harbors the desire to kill and plunder.

Moreover, Ying Zheng suspected that Shadow Celestial Venerable wasn't the only one with this idea. (End of Chapter)
