Chapter 5777: Supreme Law Rules
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The primary reason was the Primordial Stone.
With an ample supply of Primordial Stones, during the crucial moments of tribulation, stabilizing the Universe Origin Source with these stones would ensure a successful passage through the tribulation.
Failure in tribulation would lead to the universe’s ruin.
This was because tribulations targeted the universe condensed by cultivators, not the cultivators themselves.
The universe was meant to be the highest law rule, the origin of all things.
Cultivators, by condensing the universe, were defying this natural order.
Hence the tribulations.
Tribulations targeted the universe; dispersed tribulations couldn’t condense the power of Life and were also targeted by the highest law rule.
It was a form of minor punishment.
After achieving perfection in the Dao Heart, the Emperor was the best endpoint tailor-made by the highest rule.
However, there were individuals who defied the natural order by condensing the universe.
They stole power from the supreme law rules.
Thus, tribulations occurred.
This was the origin of tribulations.
Upon understanding this, Jian Wushuang began to contemplate his own universe.
No wonder every time he manifested the One Thought Universe, he felt a subtle sense of unease.
And no matter how high his strength reached, there was always a burden when manifesting the One Thought Universe.
It turned out to be because of the highest law rule.
Defying the natural order.
The Emperor’s complete-stage.
Perhaps the complete-stage as the Emperor was the best outcome.
If that were the case, he would be invincible by now.
Unfortunately, there was the Universe Master.
How about the level above the universe?
Jian Wushuang thought of those ancient and enduring powerhouses.
They should have surpassed the Universe Master.
Weren’t these individuals even more against the natural order?
Why would they exist permanently?
Jian Wushuang was puzzled.
Lian Xing seemed to perceive something.
In fact, he wasn’t clear either.
But he knew many powerful beings, including some Universe Masters at the Eighth Tribulation.
According to what he knew, those ancient existences seemed to be drawn by a force, existing across the Nine Great Spacetimes. They were said to be invincible, yet not entirely so.
Because they rarely intervened in the Nine Great Spacetimes.
Their status was high, but their influence was weak.
They hadn’t even lifted a finger.
They were extremely mysterious.
Of course, this was all hearsay.
He recounted this matter.
Jian Wushuang listened attentively.
At the same time, he began to take precautions.
The river of the Nine Great Spacetimes held too many secrets.
The source of spacetime was the Starry Sky.
What lay at its end?
Perhaps even the Universe Masters of the Eighth Tribulation didn’t know.
Only those ancient existences were aware.
Jian Wushuang snapped out of his reverie, no longer pondering these matters.
He was just an Emperor, knowing about it wouldn’t serve much purpose.
Later, he inquired about Primordial Stones from Lian Xing.
He thought of his own Universe Origin Source.
The foundation of his universe now.
It was a whopping 9,000 black holes.
Divided according to the Ancient Moon Spacetime.
The foundation of a Universe Master in the Third Tribulation was only 1,000 black holes.
When he became a Universe Master, he probably would condense at least 10,000 black holes.
That’s ten times that of an ordinary Universe Master.
How many Primordial Stones would he condense?
Perhaps, in the future, he wouldn’t lack Primordial Stones anymore.
His path through the Tribulation Realm became smoother.
Along with it came even more formidable tribulations.
Lian Xing held a sphere in his hand and said, “There are still a few days left until the auction. Prepare yourself first. When the time comes, follow the information on the token I gave you and wait where you’re supposed to!”
“Got it!” Jian Wushuang replied and without further ado, bid farewell and departed.
He descended from the higher layers all the way back to the first.
As he emerged, Lian Xing’s outer disciple approached him with great respect.
Jian Wushuang naturally exchanged pleasantries.
Then, he thought of the artisan who had deceived Li Ming’er.
He asked one of the outer disciples, “Brother, do you know the young man in the purple robe?”
“I… I don’t actually know him, but if Brother Jian has any business with him, I can call him over!” The disciple gestured for a servant to fetch the young man who had deceived Li Ming’er.
Jian Wushuang was somewhat speechless.
At the same time, he gained a clear understanding of the hierarchy among these artisans.
Lian Xing’s disciples were the most renowned artisans in Shi Kingdom and even across the Ancient Wood Continent.
They held extremely high status.
The visiting artisans were even lower in status than the servants here.
However, once they left this place, they were esteemed guests in various families.
The identity of an artisan was highly coveted.
When the young man in the purple robe heard the servant say that a distinguished guest wanted to speak with him, he squeezed out a smile and approached.
Jian Wushuang felt a sense of disgust upon seeing his face.
He had even deceived a young girl for cosmic crystals.
He really wanted to throw this person into the nearby furnace and see if his face was thicker than the flames.
“I’m Gu Shun, greetings, sir!” Gu Shun showed extreme deference and caution in front of Jian Wushuang.
Jian Wushuang revealed a faint smile, pretending to be interested, and asked, “Gu Shun, tell me, what’s your relationship with Li Ming’er?”
“Li Ming’er!” Gu Shun was momentarily confused.
After a moment’s thought, he remembered the girl he had just given universe crystals to.
“Sir, Li Ming’er and I have no significant relationship, just ordinary friends!” Gu Shun responded quickly, trying to clear any suspicion.
Li Ming’er had suddenly given him a lot of cosmic crystals, and he was curious how she had obtained them.
He was also afraid they might have been stolen.
Hearing Jian Wushuang’s question, he was afraid of getting involved and quickly distanced himself.
Jian Wushuang avoided eye contact and turned to a woman who had come with Gu Shun. With a single glance, he discerned the karmic threads between the two. He said calmly, “I see. There’s nothing more to say then. I had thought Ming’er was your partner, turns out she’s just a common friend.”
Gu Shun was momentarily bewildered. Quickly, he changed his tune, “Senior, actually Miss Ming and I have known each other for a long time. We both served in the same mansion when we were young…”
Without waiting for him to finish, Jian Wushuang turned and walked away. To him, Gu Shun was just a minor figure, not worth paying much attention to. Finding an opportunity to kill him would be enough.
After leaving the refining workshop, the auction was still a few days away. Jian Wushuang didn’t know what to do in the meantime. He wandered around the city for a while before finding a relatively secluded tavern to stay nearby.
He waited quietly, letting time pass. At the same time, he delved into the details of the Super Ancient Transformation technique. Although becoming Emperor seemed hopeless now, he still had to plan for the future.
Just as he felt these days were about to pass by in a hurry, news came quietly from Yue Kingdom.
It was from Wu Li and Elder Muchen, one after the other, sending him a message.
Seeing the content of the message, Jian Wushuang was somewhat surprised. The mansion gifted to him and Jinchen by the royal family of Yue Kingdom had been destroyed!
It was suddenly destroyed by some unknown force. Many cultivators in the city were even killed. The perpetrators were nowhere to be found.
Now the strong members of the royal family were investigating the ruins but couldn’t find any clues.
“Could it be Babidi?” Jian Wushuang couldn’t sit still.
