188: The laws of heaven and earth, combined with the Golden Dragon Scissors

Upon hearing this, the Sanqing's expressions darkened.

They had only just been worrying about this matter, and now it had been confirmed so quickly.

The Queen Mother of the West.

She had already begun to take revenge on those who had targeted her back then.

Those Cultivators and forces that had besieged her had already faced liquidation; what about the three of them?

Having been neighbors for so many years, the Sanqing had some understanding of her; since she had started her revenge, it meant she would not stop halfway.

If she countered those who had merely intervened midway with an iron-fisted approach, then as the main instigators of the matter and the primary beneficiaries of seizing West Kunlun Mountain, how could the Sanqing possibly avoid her vengeance?

Even if the Queen Mother of the West and the East King Duke did not dare to make a move openly at this moment, there would likely be no shortage of secret maneuvers and schemes!

Thinking of this, Yuanshi immediately spoke up, "What an East King Duke, what a Queen Mother of the West; I didn't expect the two of them to have hooked up!"

"How disdainful was the Queen Mother of the West toward the East King Duke back then? And now? Hasn't she obediently joined him! It seems our neighbor is still somewhat indignant in her heart!"

Hearing this, Tongtian, who was beside him, said thoughtfully, "Second Brother, do you mean that the union of the Queen Mother of the West and the East King Duke is for the sake of taking revenge on us? Or even targeting us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Five-Needle Pine's expression changed.

If this were truly the case, the two sides would likely become mortal enemies in the future, and the Immortal Court, after so many years of development and growth, was already a force not to be underestimated within the Prehistoric World.

At this thought, everyone's gaze turned toward Laozi, waiting for him to make the final decision.

"We will go!"

Facing their gazes, Laozi was much calmer at this moment and spoke slowly, "Since they have invited us, we naturally must attend. Otherwise, wouldn't others think that our Sanqing is afraid of them?"

"As for the Queen Mother of the West and the East King Duke, those two are just acting up for now. So much smooth sailing seems to have made them forget the dangers of the Prehistoric World and our strength."

"Exactly!"

Hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian's eyes lit up, and with full Battle Intent, they said, "Since they dare to provoke us, we will completely destroy any claws they stretch out."

"It's also a good time to let everyone else in the Prehistoric World know that the fact we haven't acted for so many years doesn't mean we are beings they can provoke!"

"..."

As he spoke, Laozi looked at Five-Needle Pine and said, "We have made our decision on this matter. Prepare a gift. Although they have ulterior motives, our face must not be lost!"

"Yes!"

With a word of agreement, Five-Needle Pine understood the meaning of Laozi's words, cupped his hands in a salute, and prepared to leave.

Buzz, buzz—

At that moment, a loud buzzing sound suddenly erupted from the side hall area of the Taiqing Palace.

As the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi outside began to churn, Laozi and the others in the hall all sensed it.

"This is..."

Seeing this, Five-Needle Pine, Yuanshi, and Tongtian subconsciously looked over, their eyes filled with confusion.

Only Laozi spoke thoughtfully, "Fellow Daoist Li Yun has succeeded!"

"Alright, Five-Needle Pine, go and prepare!"

"Second Brother, Third Brother, come with me!"

"If nothing goes wrong, Fellow Daoist Li Yun should be coming out soon."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Five-Needle Pine, Yuanshi, and Tongtian all complied.

Then, Five-Needle Pine turned and left, but as he exited the Taiqing Palace, his gaze subconsciously flickered toward the side hall where Li Yun was, thinking to himself, "Li Yun, his relationship with the Sanqing is truly good."

"What exactly is this guy's background? The Sanqing and the Ancestral Witches are close to him, and even powerhouses like Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun have very good relationships with him!"

"Back then, Laozi even took the main bodies of myself, Yellow Fir, and Fenglei and gave them to him. Just how much gratitude and friendship would it take to reach such a level!"

"..."

Li Yun was unaware of all this.

At this moment, he had completed his Epiphany, waking from that state and successfully comprehending the Qiankun Law.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Feeling the fluctuations of the Qiankun Law within his body, a knowing smile appeared on Li Yun's face.

Although it was only ten percent, Li Yun did not intend to major in the Qiankun Law; it was for the sake of perfecting his Three Flowers Crowned Dao Fruit.

Gaining ten percent of the Qiankun Law was already enough for now. What he needed to do next was to refine the Five Elements Law and master the Yin-Yang Law.

With a thought, Li Yun directly summoned the golden jiao scissors.

This item was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and its value was beyond doubt, but unfortunately, he now needed the Yin-Yang Law, and the golden jiao scissors was the only thing on him that could provide it.

At this thought, Li Yun immediately shouted, "Fuse!"

In the next second, a brilliant white light erupted.

The power of Fusion covered the golden jiao scissors. The scissors, which weren't large to begin with, were soon completely enveloped and transferred into the Fusion space within his upper dantian.

[Ding! Successfully fused the golden jiao scissors. Rewarded with the Yin-Yang Law and the Yin-Yang Jiao Spirits!]

[Yin-Yang Law: 30%!]

[Yin-Yang Jiao Spirits: The Soul of the fused Yin-Yang Flood Dragons, which can be bestowed upon an Acquired Spirit Treasure to become an artifact spirit, containing the power of the Yin-Yang Law.]

"Not bad!"

Nodding with satisfaction, Li Yun was quite pleased with the Fusion of the golden jiao scissors.

Not only did he obtain thirty percent of the Yin-Yang Law, but he also got the Yin-Yang Jiao Spirits. Although they could only be integrated into an Acquired Spirit Treasure, they still possessed the power of the Yin-Yang Law, making their value extremely immense.

With this in mind, Li Yun sat cross-legged once more, thinking, "Next is the comprehension of the Five Elements Law!"

"Now that my five major Laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth have all reached a certain level, if nothing goes wrong, I should be able to smoothly fuse them together!"

"But to complete the final step of Fusion, a special opportunity is still needed."

Speaking of which, with a thought, Li Yun directly took out the bodhi seed that Zhenyuanzi had given him and murmured, "A treasure that can enhance Comprehension Ability."

"My own Comprehension Ability has already reached a Heaven-Defying level. With the addition of this item, my certainty in fusing the five major Laws into the Five Elements Law will be even greater!"

At this thought, Li Yun no longer hesitated and swallowed the bodhi seed directly.

After doing all this, Li Yun sat cross-legged, and the moment his thoughts moved, he began to comprehend the Fusion of the five major Laws.

For a moment, winds rose and clouds surged within the hall.

While the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi continuously flowed in, the fluctuations of the five Laws—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—were also rapidly rising, churning, and boiling...

In a short amount of time, the entire side hall area was covered by the fluctuations of the five Laws, which even began to rapidly spread toward the area outside the hall!
