146: Law of the Mind

“It’s Star Sequence Immortal Venerable!”

“She is standing quietly at the door, watching you.”

“Her eyes, like autumn waters, seem to pierce through everything.”

“What Law do you Cultivate?”

Hearing this, your heart was greatly alarmed.

You immediately said, “Palace Master, I Cultivate the Law of the Saber.”

Upon hearing this, Star Sequence Immortal Venerable was first startled, and after a long while, she thoughtfully said, “I didn’t expect the long-lost Law of the Saber to be acquired by you. No wonder you’re also interested in the Law of the Sword.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Star Sequence Immortal Venerable vanished from her spot.

And you were drenched in a cold sweat from the shock.

“How did she know I’d be interested in the Law of the Sword? I haven’t even met her!”

Countless memories appeared in your mind.

Finally, you thought of someone!

The Third Elder of Heaven Evolution Immortal Palace, Qiu Haitang!

She Cultivated the Mind Law.

This Law could not only perceive the emotional fluctuations of others but also directly control the thoughts of lower-level Cultivators.

And your previous thoughts must have been detected by her, causing her to have doubts about you.

“No, no…”

“Qiu Haitang is an Immortal Venerable Cultivator. What she detected couldn’t have been just that. My killing intent towards Liu Xinghe was probably discovered by her long ago.”

“But why didn’t she choose to tell Star Sequence everything in the end? Does she have a grudge against Liu Changhai?”

Thousands of thoughts flashed through your mind.

But you couldn't ascertain Qiu Haitang's intentions for a long time.

Ultimately, you decided to take things one step at a time and wait for Liu Xinghe to Breakthrough to Immortal King before making your move.

The 1660th year.

Liu Xinghe successfully Broke through to the Immortal King Realm using the Law of the Sword.

After much deliberation, you decided not to act against him for now.

After all, he had always lived deep within the Heaven Evolution Immortal Palace, and you couldn't find any opportunity.

If you were to forcibly act within the Heaven Evolution Immortal Palace, you would surely be discovered. There was still a considerable gap between your current self and the Immortal Venerable Realm. If you were to confront the Heaven Evolution Immortal Palace, you would likely be suppressed by several Immortal Venerable powerhouses before you could even succeed.

And so, you went into hiding.

Days passed, and you also acquired many Immortal Artifacts through the Heaven Evolution Immortal Palace's network.

You refined these Immortal Artifacts while also going out to obtain many resources through the Year Wheel Gift.

The 1800th year.

Your Cultivation finally Broke through again, successfully reaching the third layer of Immortal Emperor.

Just as you were preparing to continue searching for Immortal Artifacts, Third Elder Qiu Haitang came to your door.

She told you directly that she wanted someone to eliminate Liu Xinghe, and if you could act on her behalf, she would not only give you a large amount of Cultivation resources afterward but also guarantee your safety.

Hearing this, your heart was startled, but you also knew that this was simply impossible.

If Liu Xinghe were truly that easy to kill, and if Qiu Haitang could protect someone from Liu Changhai, then Qiu Haitang could easily have her Disciples act. Why would she ask you?

But before you could respond, your emotional fluctuations had already been detected by Qiu Haitang.

She directly said, “This Liu Xinghe’s identity is not simple. When the truth comes out after his death, everyone in the Heaven Evolution Immortal Palace will be on your side.”

Her words were like ethereal immortal music, causing you to be in a trance for a moment. By the time you regained your senses, Qiu Haitang had already vanished!

So strong!

Your heart tightened. Qiu Haitang’s strength was extremely powerful, completely incomparable to the Immortal Venerable Cultivators of the Heaven Evolution Immortal Palace at the auction house.

Her strength had at least reached the level of Star Sequence Immortal Venerable!

“The truth comes out? What truth is this…”

You muttered to yourself.

But after a long hesitation, you ultimately decided to stick to your original plan.

For now, remain still and wait for the right moment.

Time flew by, and soon it was the 2000th year.

During this period, you, in your capacity as an Heaven Evolution Immortal Palace Deacon, made many Cultivator acquaintances in the Heavenly Wasteland Great World.

You also met many Artifact Refiners through these people, which gave you a stable source of Immortal Artifacts.

After a series of twists and turns, you once again arrived at Mo Xiao's space.

At this time, he had already finished forging all the bronze Immortal Artifacts, just waiting for the final push.

Knowing that Mo Xiao's life was not long, you began to ask him how his backup plan was coming along.

And his answer to you was—perfect!

He told you that in this space, he had not only set up a grand formation that could shield the perception of heaven and earth but also possessed several powerful Life Origins.

Although these Life Origins were not as powerful as Law of Life, they could instantly replenish a large amount of life force for him.

This would allow him to quickly replenish his life force when facing any crisis upon achieving Immortal Venerable, thereby turning danger into safety and overcoming the Lightning Tribulation.

Hearing this, you fell silent.

Although you knew that Mo Xiao did indeed have a backup plan in the last simulation that allowed him to resist the Lightning Tribulation for a while longer.

But that was only temporary.

Just as Mo Xiao thought he could succeed, his life force began to rapidly decline, and he died completely in just a few breaths!

After a moment of contemplation, you told Mo Xiao that Breaking through to Immortal Venerable required extreme caution and that he must make more preparations.

Although these Life Origins were powerful, they might not necessarily allow him to successfully overcome the Lightning Tribulation.

However, Mo Xiao merely laughed heartily upon hearing this.

He told you that while none of the outsiders in this world had ever successfully Broke through to Immortal Venerable, he was different.

Throughout his long years, he had made countless preparations for Breaking through to Immortal Venerable.

Now, even if he were to search for other items to avoid the tribulation, it would merely be icing on the cake.

As he spoke, Mo Xiao’s body slowly rose, and his Cultivation, which had been dormant for many years, was revealed!

“No outsider in this world has ever Broke through to Immortal Venerable, and I, Mo Xiao, might be able to fill that void.”

He was going to begin his Breakthrough even before his deadline arrived!

“Alas, good advice is truly hard to give!”

You sighed in your heart.

Despite your persuasion, Mo Xiao not only failed to make more preparations but instead chose to undergo the Immortal Venerable Tribulation several hundred years early!

“Boom!!!”

With a loud bang from the sky, an endless Lightning Tribulation Broke through the spatial barrier and directly struck Mo Xiao.

His aura quickly became weak.
