Who brought this guy into the monastic circle?.

The wise old man's sudden words surprised everyone.

We finally managed to gather eight Divine Realm experts, so why is it not working again?

Everyone was waiting for him to continue, except for Han Yu, who kept rolling his eyes because he knew the other man's nature all too well.

If that old devil ever speaks, it's definitely not going to be anything good.

Especially the kind where someone peeks for ages before finally popping out – it's pure perverse humor.

A group of people were staring at Han Yu, or rather, waiting for the wise old man to speak.

A helpless voice echoed in the void, "Do you think the Celestials took three rules instead of four or five, or why they didn't just take as many as possible?"

Whether it was the one from the Yama Palace or the Heavenly Dao Sect, they had all deceived the Heavenly Dao into revealing the three rules.

So here's the question: was it too late to lie more?
Han Yu's expression was strange. The wise old man liked to treat established facts as questions.

Therefore, the question itself is the answer.

He spoke in a strange tone, "Are you trying to say that Celestials can't take too many rules?"

Are three dishes too many?

It may seem difficult to understand for someone who has never grasped the rules.

But the old Taoist's expression suddenly changed, naturally because he remembered his own experience.

He spent thousands of years on just one rule, so even if the celestial beings are vastly different from them, it seems impossible for them to possess all the rules.

So, it's not that they don't want to take three rules, but that they can't take too many?
"The physical body has its limits. Even if the strength of the body varies, the rules that it can withstand will still have their limits."

The crowd was horrified upon closer examination: could even celestial beings only withstand three rules?

The old Taoist suddenly asked, "That happened ten thousand years ago. Could those two be able to withstand even more now?"

The wise old man's mocking voice rang out, and he suddenly retorted, "Thirty or three hundred?"

This assumption is meaningless. Even the most powerful beings have their limits; no matter how strong they are, they cannot encompass all the rules.

"Then wouldn't those eight Divine Realm cultivators in Central Continent be unable to reclaim much?"

Quan Xiaotong's expression was grim. Even the Celestial Realm cultivators could only take three items, and the Divine Realm cultivators in the Central Continent were not very strong. It was possible that each of them could only take one item.

With a total of three thousand rules, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that eight of them wouldn't even make a ripple.

"No, if we do it this way, wouldn't the Yama Palace and the Heavenly Dao Sect be the same? It shouldn't be a big problem."

Mu Zili immediately realized that since they couldn't take much, the other party probably couldn't either.

"No, you're wrong. They have a way, and that's what I'm trying to tell you."

The wise old man spoke slowly, his voice full of helplessness.

What methods did they use?

Han Yu couldn't help but ask, "If possible, we can do what the other party can do as well."

"They... are using the system of the favored son of Heaven."

The wise old man spoke, half-jokingly and half-seriously, and everyone unconsciously glanced at Han Yu.

While some were still pondering the meaning of the wise man's words, others had already guessed it.

The old Taoist broke free from Mu Zili, but instead of arguing, he stepped forward and stood opposite Han Yu, conversing with the void.

"You mean, the rules governing this kid are a trick by Heaven itself, allowing him to possess them indirectly? And you two also thought of this method?"

First of all, the rules surrounding Han Yu are indeed plausible. Since the rules are carried by external objects, Han Yu was able to possess them from the beginning. And because they are carried by external objects, there is naturally no need to worry about whether he can withstand them.

Therefore, Han Yu can have two rules on him.

If the Heavenly Dao could come up with this method, there's no reason why those two celestial beings who could trick the Heavenly Dao couldn't. This makes perfect sense.

"You may need to change your method of seeking the Heavenly Dao. You must find a way to seize the rules first, the more the better, as this may affect the later competition."

The wise man admonished him in a solemn tone.

If Han Yu can use external objects to manipulate the rules, then others can do the same.

At that point, it will probably come down to the power of the rules, the ultimate power. "It's easy for you to say that while you're standing there. Get down here, I'll go over there, let's switch places, and you can try to grab it."

Han Yu couldn't help but speak up, saying it in an annoyed tone.

One side says this place can't handle too many rules, while the other side suggests finding a way to take over more rules.

So they just talk the talk, and then they have to do everything else on their own, right?
The wise old man's tone was full of helplessness, "If I could go down, I would have gone down long ago. Blame Heaven for being so stupid as to be swindled out of such a large sum of money."

Despite the sarcasm, the wise old man continued, "However, Heaven knows it has been tricked, and it's impossible that it didn't have a backup plan regarding these rules. It must have made arrangements, and you should try to find them."

Gone?

The wise man seemed to fall silent, and after waiting for a long time, no one heard anything more.

The surroundings were eerily quiet. After a while, when he finally confirmed that the other person had left, Han Yu's face darkened. So, all they did was say those two sentences and then just walk away?

It didn't seem so, because the wise man seemed to turn back and suddenly spoke.

"If Heaven left behind any means, it's highly likely to be related to Han Yu, after all, he's its own son!"

After giving that reminder, the wise man really ran away.

That old devil, after hearing the old Taoist's teasing, actually copied him.

Han Yu gritted his teeth in anger; he had never felt that Heaven had ever favored him.

It's all luck that he's managed to get this far. Putting everything else aside, if the bottle had been given to any smart person who could have used some tricks, he probably would have been wiped out right there in the Central Continent.

With no background, no strength, and yet possessing all sorts of miraculous pills, it's hard for him not to run into trouble.

Otherwise, why would he travel all over the world? It's all for safety; he moves to a different place after each incident.

However, the wise old man's words gave everyone a clue, and they all began to look Han Yu up and down.

If Heaven left behind a method, it might be related to Han Yu, which narrows down the possibilities considerably.

Could it be you?

Mu Zili couldn't help but speak to the artifact spirit, because at the moment, it seemed to be the most likely candidate for Han Yu's possession.

The old Taoist priest, in particular, suddenly brightened up and couldn't help but ask, "Right, don't you have rules that allow you to take things from others? Are you suggesting that you take all three thousand rules?"

Even Han Yu was somewhat tempted; there was some truth to what he was saying!

If there really is some backup plan, then what I have on me is the bottle and the spirit of the artifact.

It's probably either a bottle or a spirit.

The bottle couldn't produce a single fart for a long time; it's more likely to be a spirit.

"If that's the case, then I might possess three thousand rules?"

The spirit was almost ecstatic. If that were really the case, what would it have to fear?

"Hurry up and take back all the rules, then I'll lead you to smash those two people's heads, and finally we'll usurp the throne of Heaven, and from then on, we'll be the ones who call the shots in Central Continent."

The spirit's words caused a strange look to appear on everyone's faces, and they couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if this guy really became the Heavenly Dao.

It's really weird.

"If we can't match the profound knowledge of the gods, then we'll compete on who has more rules."

That's what it thought, and that's exactly what Han Yu thought too.

"Then that's the only way. The eight of you will go and seize the rules, while Ye Hei and the others will continue searching for traces of the Heavenly Dao."

Quan Xiaotong sighed. The pace was too fast, and it was difficult to keep up with the depth of the Yama Palace and the Heavenly Dao Sect.

I thought that the Divine Realm was the limit, but I was sure I could find a way to catch up.

Now even rules have emerged.

This scheme, which began ten thousand years ago, has now developed to a point where it is almost beyond their reach.

In the final showdown, they may only be able to offer limited support; ultimately, the battle will be fought between the top-tier fighters. (End of Chapter)
