Since there was no imperial edict from the Master, after Yan Mingsong, Chen Yun accompanied the team temporarily to return to the Ruyan.

    He knew that it wouldn't be long before he left the Khitan.

    The great trend of the world is about to undergo drastic changes.

    The Capital, Laojun Observatory.

    Chen Yun, besides teaching Chang Erye some basic Taoist practices every day, spent the rest of his time meditating on the ways of heaven and man, and deeply studying works such as "The Song of Breaking Illusion and Correct Path," "The Pure Leading Book of Taiping," and "The Book of Invisibility."

    During this time, he also went to Dengzhou once and delivered the sacred source he obtained from killing "Tiger Sage" to his wild deity avatar to absorb.

    The Wild Spirit Avatar, after years of growing in faith, had already reached the mid-stage of the master's realm. With the acquisition of this bundle of divine essence origin, its strength surged dramatically and instantly jumped to the realm of ghost gods.

    This day, at noon.

    Chen Yun was lying in a reclining chair, enjoying the sun, and picked up the Lower Six Escape Map from the "Book of Invisibility" to study.

    "I tried to open the Lower Six Escape Map before I achieved enlightenment and became an immortal, but unfortunately, I failed."

    Chen Yun held the Lower Six Escape Map in his hand, recalling, "Of course, it wasn't completely without result. Later, by chance, my consciousness was pulled into the 'Tiger Direction' light of retreat, gaining some special insights. However, since then, I haven't been able to enter the light again."

    Now that he had achieved enlightenment and become an immortal, it seemed like he could try again to see if he could enter the light of retreat once more to gain more insights.

    Thinking so, Chen Yun tried to use his spiritual awareness to touch the white light belonging to the Tiger Direction.

    The next moment, a miraculous scene suddenly rose up.

    Just as before, Chen Yun felt that his Yuan Shen was still within his body, but his divine "consciousness" had been pulled into a wonderful space.

    ...

    In the wonderful space.

    As Chen Yun's "consciousness" entered, he saw that the space was shimmering with boundless, endless white light.

    It seemed as if the entire world was composed of white light.

    He had experienced all of this before.

    Chen Yun knew that this endless white light was not truly white; it contained various Yang-based supernatural powers, such as "slaughter," "bravery," and "pure Yang."

    Although he had entered before, this time he still felt a strange sensation deep within his heart, as if something was slowly blooming.

    He had a real sense that as long as he could understand the "meaning" contained in one beam of white light, his power would leap forward dramatically.

    Chen Yun attempted to stir one of the beams of white light.

    The next moment, his subconscious mind was being amplified.

    His benevolence made him feel compassion for all beings in the world, as if all living beings were his own children.

    Evil thoughts made him wish to destroy the world and all that it contained.

    It seemed as if all things in the world should not exist, and only he could be above it all forever.

    Domination!

    Ultimate domination!

    Chen Yun had experienced this feeling before, and he almost got lost in it at that time.

    But now that his cultivation had significantly improved, he was not so helpless as he had been before achieving enlightenment and becoming an immortal.

    Chen Yun steadied his mental state, allowing the white light to continuously interact with his own spiritual essence's "consciousness," from which he sought to comprehend the ultimate principles.

    The white light contains the "Slaughter" Law.

    Initially, Chen Yun was unable to fully grasp its subtleties.

    As time went on, Chen Yun gradually seems to have seen some incredible things from this "Slaughter" Law.

    This incredible thing was somewhat similar to the two previous times when he had accidentally seen the trajectory of Daoist laws running.

    The difference was that the trajectory of the Daoist laws was too vast and immense, and he hadn't been able to remember it back then.

    While the "Slaughter" Law composed of countless white dots in the boundless and endless space is relatively simple and crude compared to the vast and immense Daoist law trajectory he saw earlier.

    Chen Yun diligently and carefully comprehended, and gradually remembered some parts of the structure of this law.

    Every time he comprehended even the tiniest part of the structure, his body's golden elixir seemed to be stimulated, and the elixir energy surged continuously.

    Time ticked by second by second.

    Chen Yun's "consciousness" was submerged in the "Slaughter" Law of the Tiger Direction, and he didn't notice the passage of time.

    He kept at it tirelessly, continuously comprehending the structure of the law, wanting to remember it all.

    At this point, he had already remembered most of it, and it seemed that as long as he could remember the remaining bits, he could master the "Slaughter" Law.

    Suddenly, Chen Yun felt a force exhaustion within his body, as if the power of his Golden Elixir had been depleted.

    Immediately, he could no longer continue to comprehend the law; his "consciousness" was forced to retreat.

    ...

    In the real world.

    As Chen Yun woke up, he felt that his Golden Elixir had been completely depleted.

    While lying there and restoring himself with martial arts, Chen Yun looked up at the stars above, counted on his fingers, and realized that he had been meditating on the "Slaughter" Law over there for more than ten days. During that time, the "Pure Energy Soup" had also activated its power and automatically followed the second turn of the "Chen Mr. Internal Energy Scripture" to operate according to its own path, causing his Golden Elixir and his physical body to become stronger.

    "I had only comprehended one of the countless laws of the Tiger Direction, 'Slaughter,' and had not fully comprehended it. How could I have depleted my Golden Elixir power?"

    Chen Yun felt very astonished and also dimly realized that if he could truly comprehend the "Slaughter" law fully, it might be a powerful and unimaginable great technique.

    This sparked his interest, and he was eager to know what he would gain from it.

    Just as Chen Yun was thinking in silence.

    A respectful voice from beside him, "Teacher, you've awakened?"

    Chen Yun turned his head and looked at him, "Mmm, how long have you been watching over me?"

    Chang Wei said, "Since more than ten days ago when your terrifying slaughter aura burst out, the disciple has been here to guard.”

    Chen Yun was taken aback, "Terrifying slaughter aura?"

    Chang Wei seemed to be a bit scared, "Yes, the terrifying slaughter aura that burst out of you at that time seemed to lock onto all things in the world. I felt a heart-stopping feeling. If your mind moved, I would be slaughtered along with my spirit. These days, that terrifying slaughter aura has never disappeared. Fortunately, just now that terrifying slaughter aura finally dissipated, so the disciple knew that you were awake."

    This means that if I can fully comprehend the "Slaughter" law, I will master a powerful technique that can completely exterminate someone's spirit and body in an instant?

    Such a technique is generally considered to be very injurious to the heavens and the earth.

    To be honest, if this was before, Chen Yun might not be too pleased.

    After all, since he began his cultivation practice, he has always adhered to the principle of longevity in Daoism.

    However, now Chen Yun felt rather joyful, mainly because he had had a confrontation with Xie Wu Yang and Gou Teng Dao Ren not long ago and knew that his strength was somewhat inferior to theirs.

    Xie Wu Yang is still okay, as I have refined the "Pure Energy Soup" a few times since then, and my strength should have caught up to his.

    And Gou Teng Dao Ren is indeed formidable, with a Demigod Realm cultivation far too high.

    Previously, Chen Yun thought and pondered, but he could never come up with any certainty of victory if he were to confront Gou Teng Dao Ren alone.

    If I really could master a technique with incredible power, perhaps even if I couldn't beat Gou Teng Dao Ren, at least I could ensure my own safety.

    "I hope the 'Slaughter' Law does not disappoint me."

    Chen Yun thought to himself, "It would be best if it allowed me to master a powerful method for crossing levels and challenging more formidable foes."

    From the previous meditation situation, it seems that my current strength is still a bit insufficient to fully comprehend the "Slaughter" law.

    He pondered, if he could cultivate to the middle stage of the Human Realm, perhaps he could fully comprehend the "Slaughter" law.

    It shouldn't take too long for me to break through to the middle stage of the Human Realm.

    Chen Yun sensed his internal condition and found that after a month of refining the "Pure Energy Soup," his cultivation was stronger than before by at least six to seven times.

    This made him feel a bit strange, as when he first refined the "Pure Energy Soup," his strength only increased by one fold, and then it kept growing.

    This seems to go against common sense!

    Suddenly, he had an idea.

    "Oh, yes, the first time I refined the elixir power of the 'Pure Energy Soup', I didn't even fully absorb it."

    Chen Yun recalled the scene at that time, with the vast elixir power rising. Even his elixir realm cultivation level couldn't absorb it in time, causing much of the elixir energy to leak out and create a purple-golden anomaly in the heavens and earth.

    Then, after refining the "Pure Energy Soup" a few more times, his cultivation grew faster and faster, and it can be explained.

    It indicates that he has become stronger, and when the "Pure Energy Soup" releases its power, he can absorb more of it.

    Chen Yun suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at Chang Wei, asking, "In the past few days, has there been any purple-golden divine essence permeating my body?"

    Chang Wei replied, "Replying to the teacher, around eight days ago, your body emitted a vast array of purple-golden divine energy that soared into the sky. It dyed the clouds within two and a half miles around with purple-golden hues."

    It's true.

    Chen Yun nodded slightly.

    When I first refined the elixir power of the "Pure Energy Soup," the purple-golden energy flow was rolling three miles away. Now it has descended to two miles, indicating that I have absorbed more of it.

    It seems that as long as I refine the elixir power of the "Pure Energy Soup" a few more times, I won't waste any resources.

    Chen Yun estimated that it should be around two months at most.

    According to past experience, by then, I should be approaching the mid-stage of the Human Realm.

    As for whether I can successfully break through, he doesn't know this at the moment. It depends on how much my cultivation can increase after fully absorbing the elixir power, and then I can judge whether I can break through or not.

    After a moment's thought about his cultivation, Chen Yun shifted the topic and asked, "In the past ten or so days, has anyone visited me?"

    Chang Wei replied, "The emperor has sent someone to visit, saying that there is chaos in Nanting and they want you to come to the palace to discuss how to proceed."

    Great turmoil in Nanting?

    Chen Yun extended his fingers to start divining.

    A moment later, a smile appeared on his face.

    In fact, during the time Chen Yun rushed back to KPrincipal City and later meditated on the "Slaughter" Law, Li Congke had successfully escaped to Fengxiang and then raised a rebellion!

    The situation in the world had indeed been overturned by himself.

    Chen Yun slightly narrowed his eyes, and now it was a matter of whether Li Congke could defeat Li Congke's army. If he could, the historical process would move forward by a big step.

    As for myself, it is not necessary to come out of seclusion at this time. It is most important to quietly refine the elixir power of the "Pure Energy Soup" and elevate my cultivation to the next level.

    He silently counted on his fingers for a little while in his heart, thinking it over and deciding, to quickly cultivate to the middle stage of the Human Realm and then see if he could fully comprehend the "Slaughter" law.

    Once he fully comprehends it, he will gain an incredibly powerful technique. In the future, when he encounters Xie Wu Yang and Gou Teng Dao Ren again, he will definitely give them a good beating!
