I don't want to be trained by my senior sister!

Not far from Fang Xuan's location...

Lu Zheng here.

He was sitting cross-legged in a secluded room, surrounded by a faint crimson glow.

Two corpses floated in mid-air in front of them.

They are two immortal venerables.

One is at the fifth level of Taiyi, and the other is at the third level of Taiyi.

They were both core figures of the Heavenly Ruins Holy Land, usually high and mighty, but now they were just two cold corpses.

Lu Zheng closed his eyes and formed a hand seal.

The crimson light transformed into countless fine threads, piercing the brows, dantian, and heart meridians of the two corpses.

Then... he slapped her hard!

Two transparent souls were forcibly extracted from the corpse.

"ah--!"

The piercing screams echoed in the secret chamber, but were blocked by the array and could not be heard outside.

Lu Zheng remained expressionless and began refining the two divine souls.

His aura also began to slowly rise.

The bottleneck at the ninth level of the Taiyi Realm loosened slightly.

He opened his eyes, a hint of satisfaction flashing in them.

almost.

After refining a few more, I can recover to the peak of Taiyi.

Then came the Great Luo, and finally... the Dao Ancestor.

He looked down at his palms, which were covered in cracks.

He came from the river of time backwards... Of course, the price he paid was exceptionally high.

His cultivation level dropped from the Dao Ancestor Realm to the Taiyi Realm, and it was irreparable.

Now, the only way to gradually restore my cultivation level is through this evil method.

But it's okay.

Any price is worth paying if it allows me to return to the Dao Ancestor Realm.

Lu Zheng closed his eyes, and memories from the past surfaced in his mind.

At that time, he was a peak expert of the Dao Ancestor Realm, roaming freely across the Nine Heavens and Five Domains, and no one dared to provoke him.

Then he met that person...

A genius who actually used the laws of lust to dominate the ages!

After all, back then, everyone thought that the law of lust was the lowest of the low, a path only a loser would choose.

But that person took this "dead road" to its extreme.

After all, the further one progresses in spiritual cultivation, the more one must abandon human nature.

Lust, family ties, and friendships are all obstacles.

But that person was different.

He cultivated the most worldly laws of lust to their extreme.

Besides the exceptional talent involved, the hardships endured are unimaginable!

Dao Ancestor Realm? Taiyi Realm? Before him, they are all just ants.

Fang Xuan...

Lu Zheng remembers it very clearly.

In his past life, he had seen that person from afar, and that single glance filled him with awe.

That was a true genius, an existence capable of transcending eternity.

So this time, having broken through the barriers of time and narrowly escaped death, he quickly pulled Fang Xuan to his side as soon as Fang Xuan entered the Upper Realm.

Lu Zheng smiled slightly.

In his previous life, he had offended the Heavenly Ruins Holy Land and was hunted down in a sorry state.

That's why he came here first.

They planned to rely on Fang Xuan to refine all the immortal venerables and ancestors here.

Then pretend to be stupid and wait for Fang Xuan to grow up, then just follow him around picking up the corpses.

A perfect plan.

However... it was exposed.

He looked down at the two corpses beside him.

He had secretly plotted against those two immortals, thinking he could get away with it without anyone noticing, but he didn't expect to be discovered so quickly.

The refining process is not over yet. If it is interrupted now, most of the divine soul that was just absorbed will be wasted.

He couldn't bear to part with it...

But the group of immortals outside had already attacked.

There are three people at the eighth level of Taiyi, five or six people at the seventh level of Taiyi, and the rest are at the fourth or fifth level of Taiyi.

In his current state, he can't win.

So now the only option is to go to Fang Xuan and use his spatial laws to hide for a while.

He grabbed the two corpses, and in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

........

Meanwhile, Fang Xuan...

He had just emerged from the spatial rift and hadn't even regained his footing when a person suddenly appeared before him.

Lu Zheng...?

He had a big smile on his face, and he was dragging two... corpses in his hands.

Or... the aura of a Celestial Venerable?

Fang Xuan was stunned for a moment: "???"

What's going on?

Lu Zheng spoke first, his tone urgent: "A time law is at play; let me hide for a moment."

He didn't know why Fang Xuan was able to comprehend the laws of time; it had taken him hundreds of years to grasp that very thing.

But if it's possible, that's enough.

Fang Xuan was still staring blankly at him, but he was already preparing to conjure a cloud and run away as fast as he could...

He killed the Immortal Venerable, and now he wants me to help him hide?

But... the laws of time?

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

Who exactly is Lu Zheng...?

Lu Zheng was getting a little anxious.

"don't want?"

"I want..." Fang Xuan began.

Although I don't understand what's going on yet, I'll take what I need first.

At worst, we can just sell it to this person later.

Lu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and a wisp of golden light condensed at his fingertips, which he directly transferred to Fang Xuan.

The moment the light entered his body, Fang Xuan felt that his entire perception had changed.

The law of time... it really exists.

He looked at Lu Zheng again, his expression turning serious.

I need to tell my senior sister that this person can't be allowed to live...

.......

Meanwhile, several powerful auras were already approaching from afar.

"The breath control ends here..."

"How dare they commit murder in the Heavenly Ruins Holy Land!"

"He couldn't have gone far, find him..."

.......

Fang Xuan raised his hand and made a light sweeping motion.

A spatial rift unfolded behind him.

Lu Zheng didn't stand on ceremony and dragged the two corpses inside.

Before going in, he turned back and glanced at Fang Xuan.

Thanks.

It then disappeared into the crack.

Fang Xuan withdrew his hand, and the space closed up.

He turned around and came face to face with several figures falling down.

Leading the group was Xing Fa, followed by Li Changqing, Zhang Yuan, and seven or eight other immortals.

Xing Fa glanced at Fang Xuan, then at the empty hall, his brows furrowing slightly...

"Nephew Fang, did you see anyone?"

Fang Xuan shook his head, his expression remaining calm: "No, what happened?"

Xing Fa stared at him for a few seconds, seemingly trying to make a judgment.

Then he looked away.

"It's alright, just focus on your cultivation."

He turned around and waved to the people behind him.

"Let's go somewhere else; they should have already escaped."

All the immortals departed.

The hall fell silent again.

Fang Xuan stood there, looking in the direction they had left, lost in thought.

What exactly is Lu Zheng up to?

He killed the Immortal Venerable, gave him the Law of Time, and even asked him to help him hide...

Anyway, since we've got the Time Law, it's not a loss.

Moreover, he can't leave the space now; it's like he's locked himself in a prison.

We can just call on my senior sister and have her take care of it for him.

.......

Fang Xuan looked down at his palm.

There, a wisp of golden light was slowly flowing.

A very pure law of time... I never expected that Lu Zheng, who possesses the second most powerful law in the world, would hide in this sacred land of the Third Heaven.

It's estimated that the time-related artifact of that ancestor was also made by him.

Moreover, as soon as I arrived in the Upper Realm, I was tricked away by him. He probably knows something... like being able to use the laws of time and see the future.

.......

Although it's only a trace of the law of time, it's enough to increase the progress of comprehension a little...

However, the plot is progressing too fast. He was originally planning to relax and take it easy with his senior sister for a while.
