In the end, the Old Ancestor of Mingshan was unable to escape.

The attack by the three high-ranking saints had already left him exhausted.

When Meng Chuan interfered with his dodge at the most critical moment of the battle by using the law of time—even if it was only a negligible moment—the Iron Fist of the Overlord Venerable slammed solidly into his chest.

That punch shattered his protective laws.

The Purple Lightning Fairy's sword followed closely behind, piercing through his dantian.

As Aoki Jin's vines tried to burn his source energy to escape, they tightly bound him and dragged him back to the ground.

The Old Ancestor of Mingshan lay in the ruins, with a fist-sized penetrating wound on his chest, a purple sword mark in his dantian, and his entire body was wrapped in green vines like a silkworm cocoon.

His breath was extremely weak, his eyes were unfocused, and blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth.

He's not going to make it!

Meng Chuan stood not far away, watching this once high and mighty saint now lying in the ruins like a dead dog. He felt neither pleasure nor pity, only a calm understanding.

This is the cruel rule of the divine realm, and indeed of all worlds—

You kill others, others kill you!

There is no right or wrong, only life and death!

Elder Meng.

Master Qingmu walked to Meng Chuan's side, flicked his whisk, severed the head of the Nether Mountain Ancestor, sealed it with the power of law, and handed it to Meng Chuan, saying, "Although the three of us killed this person together, without you acting as bait to lure him into the trap, we wouldn't have found such a good opportunity. This credit belongs to you."

Meng Chuan accepted the head of the Netherworld Ancestor without hesitation.

At the same time, strange celestial phenomena appeared, signifying the fall of a high-ranking sage: blood clouds filled the sky, and blood rain poured down!

"Thank you for your help, three seniors."

"You're welcome."

The Tyrant Fist Master grinned and patted Meng Chuan on the shoulder—the force was so great that Meng Chuan's shoulder slumped slightly. "You're not bad, kid. You've got guts and a sharp mind. If you need anything in the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws in the future, just mention my name, Tyrant Fist!"

Fairy Zidian didn't speak, but glanced at Meng Chuan and nodded slightly, which was considered as approval.

As Meng Chuan and his companions returned to the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Hall, news of the fall of the Nether Mountain Ancestor swept through the entire coastal region like a hurricane.

The fall of a high-ranking saint is always a momentous event that can shake a region.

Moreover, the one who perished was the old ancestor of the Underworld Sect, the Old Ancestor of Underworld Mountain—

And it was the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws that killed him!

To be more precise, it was Meng Chuan, the guest elder of the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws, who acted as bait, and the three high-ranking saints joined forces to ambush and kill the Ancestor of the Underworld Mountain.

The news caused an uproar throughout the coastal area.

At the headquarters of the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws, on the jade tablet in front of the Bounty Hall, the name of the Nether Mountain Ancestor was prominently displayed among the names of a group of high-ranking saints of the Nether King Sect. The generous reward offered made everyone who saw it gasp in astonishment.

And clearly written after the name—

"Completed by: Guest Elder - Meng Chuan".

In no time, the name Meng Chuan spread throughout the entire Wanfa Hall.

Those who had previously harbored doubts about this suddenly appearing guest elder all fell silent at this moment.

First, he killed six mid-level Saints of the Underworld Sect, and then participated in the encirclement and killing of an upper-level Saint—this feat is something that not everyone, let alone a mid-level Saint, can achieve.

"Just who exactly is this Meng Chuan?"

"I heard that he came from Wanfa Island and deciphered the seventy-seventh stone tablet in the Wanfa Stele Forest, and was granted the status of Guest Elder."

"They've cracked the seventy-seventh stone tablet?! No wonder they're so powerful..."

"That's not all! I heard that he has fused five supreme, perfected laws—the Law of Power, the Law of Slaughter, the Law of Destruction, the Law of Space, and the Law of Time!"

"Five supreme laws... Is this guy even human?"

Similar discussions arose in every corner of the Wanfadian headquarters.

Meng Chuan himself, however, ignored these discussions.

He was standing in the Hall of Rewards, with the rewards for this operation laid out in front of him.

The bounty offered by the Old Ancestor of Mount Ming consists of three parts:

First, the official bounty offered by the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws—

Fifteen drops of Myriad Laws Soul Fusion Liquid, five Great Dao Spirit Fusion Pills, and three portions of Six Harmonies Condensing Dao Powder;

Secondly, there were the spoils of war that Master Qingmu, Venerable Baquan, and Fairy Zidian had voluntarily relinquished.

This includes the storage ring of the Old Ancestor of the Underworld Mountain, as well as some precious treasures on his person;

Thirdly, there was an additional reward from the higher-ups of the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws—

One core elder token of the Hall of Myriad Laws, and one opportunity to enter the Myriad Laws Secret Realm for cultivation.

The core elder's token of the Hall of Myriad Laws means that he has been promoted from guest elder to core elder, with greatly enhanced authority, allowing him to access more resources and intelligence of the Hall of Myriad Laws.

The Myriad Laws Secret Realm is the core cultivation holy land of the Myriad Laws Palace—it is said that the clarity of the laws there is astonishing, and one day of participating in the laws there is equivalent to ten days outside.

Meng Chuan carefully put away all the rare medicines and treasures, held the core elder token, and felt a slight sense of reassurance as he felt the warm touch emanating from the token.

With these resources, his chances of succeeding in breaking through to the sixth law have increased even further.

After returning to his cave, Meng Chuan did not immediately begin cultivating. Instead, he spent some time systematically reviewing his gains and insights over the years.

He sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes, and let his mind sink into his inner world.

Within the inner world, the five laws of power, like five giant dragons, intertwine and coil, forming a perfect closed loop.

The Law of Force supports the framework of the world, the Law of Slaughter and the Law of Destruction guard the boundaries of the world, the Law of Space expands the territory of the world, and the Law of Time drives the evolution within the world.

The five principles complement each other, creating a thriving world.

But Meng Chuan knew that wasn't enough.

It is still a long way from transforming into a "medieval world".

Suddenly, Meng Chuan opened his eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

He had already decided on the sixth law—

The law of cause and effect!

The law of cause and effect is one of the most profound and elusive laws among the three thousand great principles.

It is not as intuitive as the Law of Force, as violent as the Law of Slaughter, or as mysterious as the Law of Time.

But it is everywhere, permeating everything.

Every cause has an effect, and every effect has a cause.

Plant good seeds and you will reap good results; plant bad seeds and you will reap bad results.

This is one of the fundamental laws governing the operation of heaven and earth.

Meng Chuan chose the law of cause and effect for three reasons.

First, the law of cause and effect and the law of time are naturally compatible.

Time is a long river, and cause and effect are the hidden threads within this river.

The past is the cause, the present is the effect; the present is the cause, the future is the effect.

If the laws of time and causality can be integrated, the result will be greater than the sum of its parts.

Secondly, the law of cause and effect has a very strong inclusiveness.

It can form connections with any other law—

The destruction caused by the law of force is the "cause," and the death brought about by the law of slaughter is the "effect."

The shifting of spatial laws is the "cause," while the tracing of temporal laws is the "effect."

Integrating the law of causality is equivalent to building a bridge between all the laws that have been integrated, making the connections between them even stronger.
