Chapter 248: Chapter 152: Sun and Moon in the Same Sky, the Advent of a Great Age

Inside the small courtyard.

Ming Yu and the other Immortal Kings stared at the body of An Yuanshan lying on the ground, their hearts trembling violently!

This was especially true for Ming Yu.

She had just seen Wang Xiao a month ago.

At that time, Wang Xiao hadn’t exuded such immense pressure!

Even though he had killed over thirty Immortal Kings at once, it had been with the help of an external power.

Now, however, the feeling Wang Xiao gave her was that of someone unfathomable and invincible!

It was as if he could kill her with a single glance.

Not even her Immortal Artifacts or life-saving techniques could save her!

This was an Immortal Emperor.

A truly invincible Immortal Emperor!

But this only made Ming Yu even more astonished.

This Celestial Destiny Emperor before her had only been in Enlightenment for a few months. How had he suddenly attained the rank of Immortal Emperor?!

This speed was simply too fast!

Probably no one in the great Immortal Sects of the Eastern Divine Land, not even the Holy Lands, could have predicted this.

Otherwise, these Immortal Sects would have tried to stop the Celestial Destiny Emperor’s ascension, even at the risk of losing their own Earth Immortals.

Master Wuji looked at Wang Xiao and said with a soft sigh:

"Everyone underestimated you. If you have any questions, go ahead and ask."

He felt quite helpless.

Who could have predicted that the Immortal King he once paid little mind to would actually withstand the combined assault of numerous other Immortal Kings and successfully ascend to become an Emperor!

Such heaven-defying combat prowess was on par with, if not superior to, that of Mu Tiange, the Master of the Taiyi Holy Land, in his prime.

He felt a small sense of relief.

The Vast Immortal Sect hadn’t sent any Immortal Kings to "borrow" his Technique for their own ascension. On the contrary, they had wanted to offer assistance during this Celestial Destiny Emperor’s breakthrough.

Even if that help was somewhat motivated by self-interest!

Otherwise, the Celestial Destiny Emperor probably wouldn’t have come here today just to ask a few simple questions.

Wang Xiao said calmly:

"First, what kind of Law does the head of the Confucian Academy cultivate?"

Now that he had ascended to Immortal Emperor, ordinary Earth Immortals no longer posed any threat to him.

The only ones who could truly threaten him were the Immortal Emperors within the major Holy Lands.

If he could learn what kind of Origin Great Dao they had comprehended, he could prepare his defenses in advance.

Kong Xuansheng, the head of the Confucian Academy, was rumored to have become an Immortal Emperor ten thousand years ago.

Very few people had ever seen him take action.

Master Wuji might know.

After all, Master Wuji had left the Confucian Academy to found the Vast Immortal Sect all those years ago.

"The head’s Law..."

Master Wuji’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said:

"I only caught a fleeting glimpse of it five thousand years ago. At the time, the head simply said one sentence, and night turned into day—a true day, not an illusion created by some external power."

Wang Xiao couldn’t help but ask, "What did he say?"

"The head said, ’Let there be light!’" Master Wuji exhaled.

Even after several millennia, the scene was still seared into his mind.

That vast and mighty power was so overwhelming that even after he became an Earth Immortal, he couldn’t muster the slightest courage to resist it.

"Words Become Law?" A glint flashed in Wang Xiao’s eyes.

Master Wuji nodded slightly. "Perhaps you could put it that way. The Law of an Immortal Emperor has always been beyond comprehension. For example, Your Majesty, when you just killed Yuanshan, I have no idea how you did it."

"That is only because your understanding is insufficient, which is why you cannot comprehend it," Wang Xiao said calmly.

All cultivation and evolution stem from one’s understanding of Heaven and Earth.

The more one understands Heaven and Earth, the more complete one’s own cultivation can become.

However, Heaven and Earth are so vast and wide.

To perceive their entirety is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

This is why Cultivation Techniques are passed down.

These so-called legacies are the culmination of generations meticulously building upon their predecessors’ work, recording their understanding of Heaven and Earth bit by bit to perfect themselves.

Although Master Wuji is an Earth Immortal, he has only managed to perceive a fraction of Heaven and Earth by building on the foundations of his predecessors.

Since he has not become an Immortal Emperor, he naturally doesn’t know the Rules of the Origin Great Dao, and thus finds them miraculous and difficult to understand.

However, Wang Xiao now controlled the Destiny Great Dao and possessed all sorts of information provided by High Tier Life forms like Zhao Yin and the Chaos Nether King. His understanding naturally far surpassed Master Wuji’s.

After hearing Master Wuji’s words,

Wang Xiao knew that the Origin Great Dao Kong Xuansheng had comprehended was, in all likelihood, the Cause and Effect Great Dao.

Every cause has its effect!

One who masters the Cause and Effect Great Dao can make anything happen as they wish. Once a word is spoken, the result is already determined.

However, Heaven and Earth have Cause and Effect, and all living beings have Cause and Effect.

The functioning of all things is composed of countless threads of Cause and Effect.

Forcibly changing Cause and Effect would trigger a backlash from Heaven and Earth no less severe than the one from changing Destiny.

’Destiny and Cause and Effect... I wonder which is stronger. Ultimately, it depends on the power of the Divine Techniques each has mastered.’

Wang Xiao mused to himself.

As they are both Origin Great Daos, the Dao Power they condense is identical.

To truly determine a victor, one would have to see how each of them utilizes their own Dao Fruit.

In other words, it comes down to the strength of the Divine Techniques they wield.

’I wonder if my Sword of Destiny can block his Words Become Law. Without a real battle, everything is an unknown. Still, knowing that Kong Xuansheng’s Origin Great Dao is Cause and Effect at least allows me to prepare in advance.’ 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Wang Xiao thought to himself.

In an instant, he had already come up with several ways to counter Words Become Law.

For example, if attacked by Words Become Law, he could use the Sword of Destiny to sever the "cause" at its source, and naturally, there would be no "effect"!

He would thus remain unharmed.

He didn’t dwell on it further.

Wang Xiao then asked:

"What information do you have about the Celestial Gate?"

In this world, the most mysterious thing was not the Holy Lands, nor the Immortal Emperors within them.
