Chapter 2421: Deliberating the Future!

Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and within his pupils, nine ghostly flames swirled unsteadily.

This was the first time he had felt the power of rules up close.

At this moment, he finally understood why the Dao Ancestor stood above all others!

Such power was simply not of the mortal world.

Even if you comprehended the power of laws to the utmost, it was not even one ten-thousandth of the power of rules.

"So this is the power of rules? Although I knew it long ago, I still find it incredible that you were able to comprehend the power of rules through the inheritance formation!" Ye Yuan remarked with emotion.

When he had met the Xuan Ancestor, Jian Rufeng, he knew that countless later powerhouses were created by him.

But at that time, he was only a late-stage Heaven and Earth Realm martial artist.

The inheritance formation he left behind could nurture eighteen rule powerhouses, something even he himself felt proud of.

Lin Wushuang respectfully bowed and said, "The inheritance left by the Azure Saint is an eternal legacy! Teaching a man to fish is better than giving him fish—we feel this saying most deeply! The eighteen inheritances are the only way to cultivate the supreme Dao! Unfortunately, Lin Wushuang is dull-witted and cannot comprehend the true heaven-defying formation, nor can I reverse the decline. The rule formation foundation I have comprehended is probably unworthy of your attention, so I will not pass it on to you but leave it in your sea of consciousness for your reference."

He did not know what an uproar these words caused below!

The rule formation foundation, unworthy of the great one's attention!

That was a rule formation foundation!

Those who comprehended the Dao here were all formation Dao powerhouses.

Who among them did not regard comprehending a rule formation foundation as their lifelong pursuit?

Yet this rule powerhouse actually said it was unworthy of the great one's attention!

What kind of existence was this great one!

If even one of these nine formation foundations were passed on to them, they would be moved to tears and feel eternally grateful to Lin Wushuang.

Even if they had to tear out their hearts, they would willingly do so.

The opportunity of a rule inheritance was too rare!

But the opportunity they regarded as a treasure was utterly beneath Ye Yuan's notice!

Everything that happened before their eyes today completely overturned their worldview.

Ye Yuan became utterly mysterious in their eyes.

Sure enough, Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Leave these nine formation foundations with me for now. When I find a worthy successor, I will pass them on for you!"

Lin Wushuang was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Azure Saint!"

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Wushuang, what is the relationship between the realm of rules and the Five Declines of Heaven and Man?"

Ye Yuan had never clearly understood the difference between the Dao Ancestor and the Five Declines of Heaven and Man.

The Five Declines of Heaven and Man also had degrees of strength.

The strong could even contend with the Dao Ancestor!

While the weak could only dominate one region.

Lin Wushuang said, "The Five Declines of Heaven and Man is the pinnacle of realms! Because in our small world, after reaching the Five Declines of Heaven and Man, one can advance no further! Even the Dao Ancestor is actually at the Five Declines of Heaven and Man; it's just that they are endowed with rules and possess the power of rules, so they stand above all beings. Since the realm cannot be broken through, one can only seek a breakthrough in the power of laws. If one can reach the realm of rules, they can further enhance their strength and attain the Great Ancestor realm! However, the Dao Ancestor can mobilize a complete rule power, and ordinary Great Ancestors are no match for them. Only by reaching a realm like Shang Heng's can one have the capital to contend with the Dao Ancestor."

Ye Yuan frowned and said, "Why can't the small world advance further?"

Lin Wushuang shook his head and said, "After reaching the ultimate Five Declines, it's as if one hits a bottleneck, unable to integrate the power of the Heavenly Dao into the small world. Back then, we Great Ancestors studied this together, expending countless efforts, but we could not break this shackle!"

After hearing Lin Wushuang's words, Ye Yuan finally understood what the Dao Ancestor realm was.

That is to say, after reaching the Heaven and Man Realm, what matters is not the realm, but the power of laws!

Especially after the Five Declines of Heaven and Man, whoever's power of laws is stronger is stronger.

Then, could his own realm break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao?

This was a path no one had ever taken before, and even Ye Yuan himself could not say how far he could go.

But Ye Yuan had a strong feeling that the path he was taking was right!

Now, Ye Yuan had arrived at the threshold of the ninth great realm.

How to take this crucial step, Ye Yuan did not yet have a complete idea.

Because for him, every realm required countless deductions, and not a single iota of error could be allowed.

A miss is as good as a mile!

In fact, the original human cultivation system had already gone wrong after reaching the Heavenly Emperor Realm, requiring the tribulation of the Five Declines of Heaven and Man to break through.

This was actually a deviation from the normal cultivation method.

Although strength increased, it also led into a dead end.

Therefore, this step was equally crucial for Ye Yuan.

If he crossed it, he might open up another great path!

"Although my Chaos World is far inferior to other martial artists in terms of space, in terms of quality, it completely crushes Heaven and Man Realm powerhouses! Even absorbing the spiritual energy of the Tongtian Realm, my Chaos World is somewhat stretched. In quality, my Chaos World... should not lose to the Tongtian Realm! Now that heaven and earth have been opened, the next step is to create all things! However, how to create my own world requires extreme caution!" Ye Yuan pondered in his heart.

"Forget it, this step still needs further deduction; I cannot be impatient!" Ye Yuan finally sighed and said.

Lin Wushuang's eyes flickered beside him; he knew Ye Yuan was contemplating the matter of realms.

And he also knew that the Azure Saint was simply a freak!

They had later weighed it and concluded that even if they had the same realm and the same law comprehension as Ye Yuan at that time, they could not have obliterated the Xuntian Palace without a trace!

What did this show?

It showed that at the same realm, Ye Yuan was almost invincible!

Even they, these Great Ancestors, could not accomplish such a feat—how terrifying was the Azure Saint's strength?

He had once discussed with Shang Heng that if the Azure Saint had reached his former Great Ancestor realm, he could definitely directly annihilate Tianqing!

Unfortunately, Ye Yuan could not participate in the last world-destroying war.

Ye Yuan looked at Lin Wushuang and said, "I need to go down the mountain. Seal off the Eight Emptiness Mountain; no one is allowed to leave during this time! Otherwise, kill without mercy!"

Lin Wushuang said respectfully, "Yes!"

At the foot of the mountain, all the powerhouses changed color.

But none of them dared to act rashly.

The Eight Emptiness Mountain's great formation had been activated, making it too easy to annihilate them!

Even a powerhouse like Yue Feng would have no chance of survival!

After all, this was a rule formation!

As Ye Yuan descended the mountain and passed by Yue Feng, Yue Feng suddenly mustered the courage to say, "You... are you really the Azure Saint?"

Ye Yuan looked at him with slight surprise and said, "You know of the Azure Saint?"

Yue Feng's face was grim as he said, "My ancestor... also experienced the last world-destroying war! There are legends of the Azure and Xuan Saints in our clan! Ancestral teachings say that upon meeting the Azure Saint, one must perform a great bow!"

With that, Yue Feng knelt directly before Ye Yuan!
