Chapter 4751: Second Fundamental Law

Five million years had passed.

On the vast and boundless verdant mountains of the Chaos Continent, a massive nine-colored thundercloud loomed high in the sky. Lightning flashed and thunder roared as thick bolts of nine-colored immortal lightning struck down.

Wang Ruyan, Wang Qingcheng, Wang Tun Tian, Wang Yixin, and others stood atop a high peak, their expressions solemn as they gazed at the nine-colored immortal lightning in the sky. Wang Changsheng was in the process of establishing his second Supreme Origin Law. He had prepared multiple defensive mutated Hongmeng Spirit Treasures, fifth-tier immortal talismans, and defensive low-grade Dao artifacts. Of course, this wasn't to say that so many items were absolutely necessary for establishing a second Supreme Origin Law; he had simply prepared extra out of caution.

Continuous thunderclaps reverberated as thick bolts of nine-colored immortal lightning struck down with immense power, making the heavens and earth appear to turn nine-colored.

Wang Yixin took out a golden mystic disk, activated a spell, and exclaimed in surprise, "Grand Elder Qingling and Grand Elder Qingbai are attempting to reach the Dao Ancestor realm!" Wang Ruyan could now refine various fifth-tier immortal talismans, including the Myriad Law Thunder Transformation Talisman, which could weaken the power of lightning tribulations. This made it considerably easier for them to attempt breakthroughs to the Dao Ancestor realm.

After consulting the cultivation experiences of powerful cultivators from the Chaos Era, they learned that adhering to one's own Dao was paramount. The specific law one used to achieve the Dao was not the most important factor; while establishing a Supreme Origin Law indeed enhanced a Dao Ancestor's strength, the timing of its establishment was insignificant. Simply put, establishing a Supreme Origin Law was powerful, and the order in which it was established was not important. Curiously, even Dao Ancestors from the Chaos Era only established a single Supreme Origin Law at most. Wang Ruyan and the others were unsure if Wang Changsheng could establish a second one. Indeed, Wang Changsheng intended to establish a second Supreme Origin Law. For weakening the power of a lightning tribulation, the Myriad Law Thunder Transformation Talisman was certainly stronger than the Two-Sided Thunder Transformation Orb, as fifth-tier immortal talismans corresponded to Dao artifacts.

"With the Myriad Law Thunder Transformation Talismans and the complete sets of defensive immortal artifacts refined from Hongmeng Spirit Treasures, they should be able to pass their tribulations. Qingcheng, go and check on them! I'll stay here," Wang Ruyan instructed. She had refined multiple Myriad Law Thunder Transformation Talismans, which was why Wang Qingling and Wang Qingbai dared to attempt their breakthroughs to the Dao Ancestor realm.

"Yes, Mother," Wang Qingcheng agreed and departed as instructed.

As time passed, the descending nine-colored immortal lightning grew larger and more powerful, while the nine-colored thundercloud continuously shrank in size. After half a day, the nine-colored thundercloud was reduced to only a hundred zhang in size. It churned and transformed into a colossal nine-colored thunder snake, its body enveloped by countless streaks of lightning. The nine-colored thunder snake opened its gaping maw, revealing a row of sharp fangs, and lunged down from the sky.

A gigantic fist, shimmering with blue light, flew out from within the lightning and struck the body of the nine-colored thunder snake. The colossal body of the nine-colored thunder snake twisted, and numerous cracks appeared on its surface, breaking apart inch by inch. It transformed into a massive ball of nine-colored lightning that shot skyward, simultaneously unleashing a powerful energy wave that spread in all directions.

Where the energy wave passed, peaks were reduced to dust, the ground developed extensive cracks, smoke and dust filled the air, and fissures spread throughout the void, continuously expanding. Before the smoke and dust could dissipate, a loud, echoing laugh resonated through the heavens and earth. A blue light shot out from the dust, flickering once before landing in front of Wang Ruyan. It was Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng's face was slightly pale, but he wore a smile. He was clad in Chaos Armor, which bore several fine cracks on its surface. This low-grade Dao artifact was forged by Wang Changsheng using the hide of a Dao Ancestor-level chaotic beast as the primary material, incorporating over two hundred fifth-tier immortal materials. For this attempt to establish his second Supreme Origin Law, Wang Changsheng had the Myriad Law Thunder Transformation Talismans, four defensive mutated Hongmeng Spirit Treasures, several sets of defensive immortal artifacts, and the Dao artifact-level Chaos Armor. When he first attempted to reach the Dao Ancestor realm, Wang Changsheng also had fifth-tier immortal talismans, but they were not as effective as the Myriad Law Thunder Transformation Talisman. The Myriad Law Thunder Transformation Talisman was specifically designed to weaken the power of lightning tribulations, making it highly effective for passing them.

"I've successfully established the Divine Soul Origin Law!" Wang Changsheng exclaimed excitedly.

The Wang family had collected many ancient texts from the Chaos Era, a period when experts were numerous and Dao Ancestors abundant. Yet, there was no record of any Dao Ancestor establishing two Supreme Origin Laws. He was unsure why he was able to establish two Supreme Origin Laws. Was it due to Qing Xuan? Or the "Mystic Infant Aperture Opening Great Art"? Wang Changsheng had been a Dao Ancestor for over twenty million years. The Wang family had successively gathered three secret techniques for opening ten apertures, which were largely similar, all requiring ten apertures to be opened before laws could be fused. If it wasn't due to Qing Xuan or the "Mystic Infant Aperture Opening Great Art," then could it be because Wang Changsheng used Earth Fiend Qi to build his foundation? But Wang Ruyan did not use Earth Fiend Qi to build her foundation. Wang Changsheng couldn't figure it out; perhaps he would only understand once he cultivated to a higher realm.

"Is the lightning tribulation for the second Supreme Origin Law really this powerful?" Wang Ruyan asked in surprise. If Wang Changsheng could successfully establish a second Supreme Origin Law, then theoretically, Wang Ruyan could too. While Dao Ancestors could establish Origin Laws to enhance their strength, it didn't mean that possessing abundant tribulation-passing treasures allowed for continuous establishment of Origin Laws. According to Jian Er's explanation, a Dao Ancestor typically needed to cultivate for at least ten million years before establishing a new Origin Law. The more Origin Laws one established, the longer one needed to cultivate in seclusion. Of course, with fifth-tier immortal pills that could enhance Origin power, this time could be shortened. From True Immortal to Grand Luo Golden Immortal, cultivators wielded immortal essence power, whereas Dao Ancestors wielded Origin power. Before reaching the Dao Ancestor realm, mastering Dao arts merely meant borrowing a trace of Origin power.

This time, as Wang Changsheng established his second Origin Law, which was a Supreme Origin Law, the lightning tribulation's power was considerably strong. He used four defensive fifth-tier immortal talismans, among which the Myriad Law Thunder Transformation Talisman could weaken the tribulation's power. He was still wearing the Dao artifact-level Chaos Armor, which had sustained significant damage. If he had established a special Origin Law, the lightning tribulation's power would not have been so intense, and the Chaos Armor would not have been so severely damaged.

Wang Yixin took out a golden mystic disk, activated a spell, and her face lit up with joy: "Ancestor, Grand Elder Qingling and Grand Elder Qingbai have both advanced to the Dao Ancestor realm, both achieving their Dao through special Origin Laws!" With the Myriad Law Thunder Transformation Talismans and other defensive treasures, it was not surprising that they had successfully passed their tribulations. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan beamed with joy. It was a day of triple blessings—truly wonderful.

With this, the Wang family now had five Dao Ancestors: Wang Changsheng could refine artifacts, Wang Ruyan could create talismans, and Wang Qingbai could concoct pills.

"Now that Qingbai has advanced to the Dao Ancestor realm, he can refine the Dao Inquiry Pills!" Wang Changsheng said excitedly. The storage bracelet provided by Jian Er contained many immortal herbs for refining fifth-tier immortal pills. Wang Qingbai could use them to concoct fifth-tier immortal pills for clan members attempting to reach the Dao Ancestor realm.

"Yixin, I'll leave this place for you to manage. We're returning to Azure Lotus Immortal Island," Wang Ruyan instructed.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan departed, leaving Wang Yixin to manage the aftermath.
