Supreme Uprising

Chapter 1184: The 99th Dao

In the eyes of the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler, the Da Qian Master was merely a junior even though he was at the helm of all matters in Da Qian Hall.

He was a junior so insignificant that he was no bother!

The Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler was one of the founders of the six sacred halls, whereas the Da Qian Master was only his junior of many generations later.

Their lack of achievements was the reason the six Heavenly Rulers did not put too much emphasis and attention on these juniors. However, right now, the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler was simply dumbfounded.

This situation had developed completely differently from what he had expected.

Or rather, he simply could not believe the Da Qian Master’s state!

This junior had already attained the cultivation level the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler had always dreamed of achieving.

“You… You are a Taiyi Yuan Venerate!” the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler exclaimed in astonishment.

The Da Qian Master looked unsympathetically at the look of disbelief all over his face.

Although the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler had been one of the founding masters of the six sacred halls, their ties had been virtually cut ever since he’d chosen to abandon the 36 Great Cosmoses and enter the Tianding Realm.

Despite the current situation, the relations between the two parties would still have been poor because the six Heavenly Rulers bore a grudge against Luo Yunyang.

As the head of the six sacred halls, the Da Qian Master had experienced his fair share of ridicule and mockery from the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and the others. Seeing their stares of disbelief gave him a sweet sense of satisfaction.

“I have just become a Taiyi Yuan Venerate with the help of divine blessing!” He chuckled while eyeing the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler.

These words infuriated the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and made him feel extremely ashamed of himself. He had only reached the half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerate, yet someone like the Da Qian Master had become a Taiyi Yuan Venerate.

Forget about Luo Yunyang. He now wasn’t even comparable to Luo Yunyang’s subordinate.

This whole incident was a blatant slap to his face and it left him red with embarrassment.

“Da Qian Master, are you intending to prevent us from entering?” the Southwest Heavenly Emperor asked while the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler was stunned. He was hoping to make use of his status as the founding master of the Da Qian Hall to exert some pressure and gain entry.

“Southwest Heavenly Emperor, it is hard for me to defy orders issued from above. Please do not make things difficult for us,” the Da Qian Master gently replied, as he still felt some basic respect for his founding master.

“And if I still insist on going in?” the Southwest Heavenly Emperor asked relentlessly.

“Then you will have to forgive me for turning nasty. You should be aware that while I was not a match for any of you in the past, none of you are a match for me today,” he said resolutely.

The Southwest Heavenly Emperor glanced at his Master. The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor had a calm expression on his face, as though he hadn’t witnessed anything.

These circumstances had greatly disappointed the Southwest Heavenly Emperor, as he was now aware that he would not be getting any assistance from his master.

Even so, he was not ready to give up just yet.

Since even someone like the Da Qian Master could become a Taiyi Yuan Venerate, people like them, who had a good mastery of the nomological laws, should have to spend minimal effort to become Taiyi Yuan Venerates as long as they listened to Luo Yunyang’s insight.

They would certainly be in a better position than most ordinary people once they ascended to the Taiyi Yuan Venerate. “Okay then, let me see how strong a newly-minted Taiyi Yuan Venerate like you can be,” he said after some hesitation.

Upon saying that, the Southwest Heavenly Emperor made a quick hand seal and a yellow pagoda that emitted boundless magnificence appeared before him.

The Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and the four others also charged forward.

Although there was some disagreement between the five Heavenly Rulers, they still rallied together and entered the battle at full force.

After all, this situation concerned their future prospects.

However, as soon as they wielded their strongest techniques, the Da Qian Master reacted as well!

He had mastery and control over the sky laws, so he gently palmed the sky.

This palm might have seemed gentle, yet it caused the might of the Southwest Heavenly Emperor’s pagoda to crumble. It also managed to dispel the attacking forces of the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and everyone else.

This was the difference between a Taiyi Yuan Venerate and a half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerate.

The Southwest Heavenly Ruler looked at the Da Qian Master in disbelief. He had never imagined that he would be completely helpless against the Da Qian Master.

“There is pressure from the presence of nearly twenty sky laws over here, and you guys can display 30% of your full strength in this place. That explains why you were beaten with a single move.” The voice of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor was heard.

“However, you would not be a match for the Da Qian Master and his friends even if you were not here. All you would be able to do is prolong the battle before facing an ugly defeat.”

Their master’s words did not make the Southwest Heavenly Ruler and the rest feel any better, as they only comforted them slightly.

“Divine Ancestor, this way, please. The Human Ruler is awaiting your presence,” the Da Qian Master said respectfully even though he was joyfully celebrating inwardly.

“Yes, I would like to listen to the insight of the Human Ruler.” The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor nodded.

“Master, this is an important chance for us. Please ask the Human Ruler to permit us to enter and listen!” The Southwest Heavenly Ruler knelt to the ground and pleaded.

The Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler felt extremely uncomfortable watching the actions of the Southwest Heavenly Ruler. However, he also knelt down after some consideration.

Then, all five Heavenly Rulers and the disciples following them knelt down as well. While a Taiyi Yuan Venerate like the Da Qian Master was guarding the entrance, the only way to enter Donglu Town was by pleading with the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor.

There was absolutely no possibility of them forcing their way through!

Watching the plight of the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and the others saddened the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor. While the whole incident appeared to be their fault, they were still his disciples.

How could he, the teacher of these disciples who had followed him for many years and were now kneeling on the floor, turn a blind eye to everything that was happening?

“Get up. I will ask the Human Ruler later,” he finally said.

“However, you must all repent. Not in front of me, but before the Human Ruler. You must ask him to forgive your ignorance.”

It would be extremely embarrassing for the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler to lower his head before Luo Yunyang in front of so many people.

However, as much as they did not like the current situation, they had to accept it. If they chose not to accept it, they would very likely see the likes of many others just like the Da Qian Master advance way ahead of them in terms of cultivation.

Then, the positions of the six Heavenly Rulers might even be assumed by others!

“I will definitely repent and ask the Human Ruler for forgiveness!” the Southwest Heavenly Ruler said plainly, as he knew the situation wasn’t favorable for him.

The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor didn’t say anything else. Instead, he continued walking into the training ground of Donglu Town. The Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and the rest were full of anticipation as they watched him leave.

Suddenly, a terrorizing energy surged forward like rushing waters. The Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and the rest, who wanted to stand up in a panic, were instead forced to continue kneeling.

Yet another person had attained the status of a Taiyi Yuan Venerate. This was their last chance to break through and attain that status. They would definitely regret it if they lost that opportunity.

Anger was brewing amongst some of the Taichu Yuan Venerates of the Tianding Realm who had followed the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler and the others. They’d initially intended to listen to what Luo Yunyang had to say when they’d first come to Donglu Town.

After all, the cultivation path to becoming a Taiyi Yuan Venerate was simply too difficult and it would not hurt them to just listen to what Luo Yunyang had to say.

However, the sudden departure of the Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler before the speech had made them follow suit, as they did not want to offend the likes of him. Instead, they had lost the golden opportunity of a lifetime as a result.

Foolish! That had been absolutely foolish of them!

The Mysterious Water Heavenly Ruler had begun to feel the discontent rising amongst the people behind him. He would not have let that pass in the past, but he was now going to endure it even if he was the object of ridicule.

Actually, he was already feeling a deep sense of regret, which was why he had rushed back to Donglu Town like mad.

He really hoped that his teacher would be able to use his relations to grant him re-entry.

As they were eagerly anticipating this, the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor reached the training ground of Donglu Town. There were already ten people there who had broken through and become Taiyi Yuan Venerates.

The energies emitted from them were all-encompassing. It was not easy even for someone like the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor not to feel intimidated with all these auras around.

However, the gaze of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor was on Luo Yunyang instead of the other Taiyi Yuan Venerates.

Luo Yunyang appeared extremely calm and was entirely focused on talking about the boundless nomological laws.

As he spoke, various mysteries related to these laws were imparted to these Taiyi Yuan Venerates…

Although Luo Yunyang still seemed to remain at the peak level of the Taichu Yuan Venerate, the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor felt a surging, rising energy being emitted from him.

The 99th Dao? Was this the 99th Dao? As the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor thought to himself, his interest was immediately piqued.
