He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

As the immortal sword swirled around Xu Yi, Xu Yi also entered a state of enlightenment, and the stone table in front of him turned into ashes and disappeared into the world.

Even within the Tongming Hall, the four seasons began to change.

First, a spring breeze caressed his face, and Xu Yi felt a warm atmosphere. Soon, a rumble of thunder came from the sky, and before long, localized rain began to fall in Tongming Palace.

Old Niu hated getting wet, so he conjured a cloud to shield his head. Seeing Xu Yi in a state of enlightenment, he didn't dare to be careless.

He became extremely tense, wanting to stay by Xu Yi's side and be constantly on guard against dangers from all directions.

Moo moo~

moo~

The old ox bellowed a few times at an inopportune moment, as if cheering itself on.

After calling out those numbers, the old ox even turned back to look at Xu Yi, its eyes revealing a smug expression.

"Child, this time your Grandpa Ox is protecting you, so you must remember my kindness."

The old ox thought to himself.

After the spring rain, the temperature in Tongming Hall began to rise slowly. Not only that, but Lao Niu always felt that the scorching sun was shining on his head, which made him very annoyed.

Soon, another autumn wind blew by, and Xu Yi felt his inner world constantly evolving with the four seasons.

Now, in Xu Yi's inner world, it has entered autumn, with a bleak autumn wind and withered yellow leaves covering the ground.

Soon, it was the harsh winter again, with heavy snow falling everywhere...

Xu Yi woke up in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. He opened his eyes and gently stroked the sword.

From this moment forward, his Sword of All Things takes on a new form: the Sword of Past and Future.

This sword is closely related to time, and if Xu Yi were to use it, he probably wouldn't be very proficient.

Is this a new supernatural power, or is it unique to the Sword of All Things?

Xu Yi was also quite confused, which was rather strange. The Sword of Myriad Things was originally just a divine power, but through various deductions and evolutions, it had actually evolved into so many different divine powers.

Is this an independent entity, or is it simply the essence of all things?

Xu Yi stopped thinking about it. Who cares about all that? As long as he becomes stronger, that's all that matters.

After rising from his seated position, Xu Yi went to Old Niu's side.

Old Niu didn't notice Xu Yi's arrival. He was keeping a close eye on the potential dangers in all directions, and for some reason, he didn't even notice Xu Yi coming right in front of him.

"Let's go, there's nothing left here."

Xu Yi gently patted the old ox's head, and the old ox finally relaxed from its tense state, mooing a few times in dissatisfaction.

It's as if it's saying: Hey~ I was just protecting you, how could you hit me?

Despite his dissatisfaction, Lao Niu still followed Xu Yi.

As Xu Yi walked towards the entrance of the Tongming Hall, he pondered the last words the sword spirit uttered before it dissipated.

He didn't understand. The sword spirit's words made it seem like he knew a lot, but he hadn't said anything. Thinking about it like that was really upsetting.

"I hate people who only say half of what they mean," Xu Yi muttered to himself. He wanted to complain more, but then thought better of it and decided against it. He shouldn't complain so much about someone who has already disappeared.

After leaving the Tongming Hall, a gentle breeze blew by, and Xu Yi seemed to sense something. He looked back, but it was gone.

This enormous palace simply vanished, as if it had never existed at all.

Soon, layers of cloud ladders appeared on the site of the original Tongming Palace, leading to another palace, which was intentionally guiding him forward.

Xu Yi had his doubts, but he still followed the guidance of the cloud ladder and headed towards another palace.

......

"Xiaoyue, are you adjusting well?"

After leaving Xiaochongshan, Xu Yiya and Su Xiaoyue's first stop was the Demon-Catching Alliance.

To join the alliance, you only need to register as a demon hunter and leave behind a trace of blood energy. This trace of blood energy will serve as proof of your identity.

The headquarters of the Demon-Catching Alliance is located in Wanbaoshan, which is some distance away from Xiaochongshan. However, Xu Yiya has a permanent location marker for Wanbaoshan, so he can sense its vague location as long as he is not too far away.

After trekking through mountains and rivers, the two finally found Wanbaoshan three days later.

This place is surrounded by a huge barrier, and the outer edge of the barrier is a series of mazes. The mazes of the Demon-Catching Alliance are extremely fierce. If a mortal accidentally enters them, he will pay the price with his life.

However, the people in the Demon-Catching Alliance have always been ruthless. In their eyes, the lives of mortals are not considered lives.

But they won't actively slaughter mortals, nor will they actively protect them...

Of course, this is only the situation within the Demon-Catching Alliance; most demon catchers are not like this.

Xu Yiya had dealt with them before, but back then he was still a disciple of Mount Shu. He didn't have much of an opinion on this kind of alliance of independent cultivators; he just didn't want to deal with such an alliance because people's hearts were too complicated.

There is only profit in the Demon-Catching Alliance.

The maze can stop ordinary people, but it can't stop a cultivator with supernatural powers. Xu Yiya is a cultivator who has just cultivated supernatural powers and is at the stage of Qi Convergence.

But being a cultivator with supernatural powers, Xu Yiya saw a place resembling a mountain gate after flying over the maze on his sword.

Two disciples were guarding the entrance, and the discipline was somewhat lax.

Xu Yiya snorted coldly, exuding the unique aura of a Chaoyuan cultivator. The two disciples guarding the gate felt this sharp aura and trembled. Oh no, which elder is this?

It can't be the alliance leader's; they've met the alliance leader before.

The leader of the Demon-Catching Alliance has a cultivation level of only Three Qi Gathering, making him the most powerful being in the entire alliance.

The other elders are only at the One Qi Gathering stage. Apart from the Alliance Leader, the strongest is this Vice Alliance Leader, who is at the Two Qi Gathering stage.

The two of them together supported the large organization of the Demon-Catching Alliance.

Others may not know the details of the Demon-Catching Alliance, but Shushan is Shushan after all. Just the sect leader's actions alone can sweep through the entire sect, so this kind of information can still be found.

"A distinguished guest has arrived."

Although the gatekeepers were lax, they were not panicked in this situation. They had never seen anyone so foolish as to cause trouble at Wanbaoshan.

The last person to cause trouble at Wanbaoshan... has already... has already finished causing trouble.

Although the Demon-Catching Alliance is not as strong as the three great immortal mountains, it has countless independent cultivators. Although their discipline is relatively lax, their ability to gather intelligence is still top-notch.

Moreover, there are many treasures in the Demon-Catching Alliance, but they require an equivalent amount of merit points to exchange for.

As for how to obtain merit, well, of course, it's by slaying demons.

The gatekeeper wasn't stupid; he knew they couldn't possibly receive such an important guest, so he hurriedly sent a message upstairs.

Then someone invited Xu Yiya and Su Xiaoyue into the mountain gate.

A ripple spread out on the water, as if passing through a barrier, and soon the scene that came into view resembled a bustling marketplace.

The Demon-Catching Alliance promotes free trade, so they set up many similar stalls in the mountains.

However, this is fair; to set up a stall, every item must be inspected by the Alliance...
