This Young Master is not Cannon Fodder-Chapter 552: A Hundred Years
Chapter 552: A Hundred Years
The demons’ appearance in the Primordial Realm disrupted the original order, but for the Immortal Court, it was nothing. Of course, if the Primordial Realm became too chaotic, it would not be conducive to their rule, so they would periodically appear and quell the chaos, punishing the culprits. After a few times, all forces, human and demons, figured out the general range of conflict allowed by the Immortal Court.
Tianyi had nothing to do with this. His most powerful conduit was still between the True Dragon Realm, Phoenix Realm, and Qilin Realm, but his remaining level two conduits were still free. Theoretically, he could appear in the Primordial Realm or tour the myriad lower realms as he wished, but he did not do so during this period.
The Concealed Emperor’s task for Tianyi was not without benefits. As long as he played his card right, he could dramatically increase his understanding of the worldly laws.
The Divine Beast Pseudo System was collapsing and merging back with the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System. The damage to the realms would be minimal because the two came from the same source, the Primordial World. Whenever a realm entered the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System from the Divine Beast Pseudo System, the worldly law would be exposed, making it far easier to comprehend. The stronger the realm, the more the worldly law was exposed.
Naturally, the three immortal rank realms would expose the largest amount of worldly laws.
For most immortal emperors, understanding more worldly laws would be icing on the cake. Their primary focus was to merge three worldly laws with their primary law. The only reason most would comprehend new laws was because they could not merge the worldly laws they already understood. All paths lead to the same end. By comprehending more laws and broadening their knowledge, they could increase their law fusion by analogy, too.
Immortal monarchs would love to have such a chance too. For them, it would be a shortcut to reach the Fifth-Step Seamless Immortal Realm, saving countless years, possibly hundreds if not thousands of years. However, the biggest beneficiaries were the immortal lords.
The number of immortal lords actually exceeded the number of true monarchs. They all had the potential, but were stopped at the last step. As long as they were lucky enough and were exposed to the worldly law they comprehended, they could instantly master it and become an immortal monarch.
As such, many immortals from the Immortal Court would travel to realms close to entering the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System using the Immortal Embassy. Most of them were true immortals with a few immortal monarchs.
They would stay in a realm that crossed into the Three Thousand Immortal Realms for a few years before shuttling to another realm that was about to cross and repeat the process. Even if the immortals did not find the law they were comprehending, it was still beneficial to dabble in others law when they had the chance. They weren’t biting off more than they could chew, but taking advantage of the opportunity.
Who knows, maybe comprehending a different law was the chance they needed.
It wasn’t only one group, but several groups. Of course, not all the immortals had such a great opportunity. Those without talent were naturally not considered. Not to mention that they needed manpower to maintain order. Even if they didn’t think the Numinous Sword Sect would attack them, they still had to be cautious. And the Demon Clan had just surrendered and the Immortal Court had to keep watch over them. If the demons did suddenly rebel, unlikely as that was, the Concealed Emperor would be occupied by Perfected Huanglong, and they would have to deal with the rest.
Naturally, this benefit did not exclude the Numinous Sword Sect. So the sword immortals of the Numinous Sword Realm would also appear in the realms about to enter the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System. Sometimes, they would encounter the Immortal Court, but on unspoken agreement, both sides did not initiate conflict and would leave after the exposed worldly laws disappeared.
The only force that had the power that did not benefit were the demons that surrendered. They were trapped in the Primordial Realm and under probation. It would probably take tens of thousands of years before they could leave the Primordial Realm without permission.
Of course, although rare, not all participants of this event were immortals. Some astounding saints also had a chance to comprehend the exposed worldly laws, but most of them were from the Immortal Court or affiliated forces.
Tianyi blinked and took out his Xiyi Talisman.

Real-Fake Princess: Is it true that there is an opportunity to comprehend the worldly laws @Ultimate Young Master?
The person behind the username was Gan Xuehua, a reincarnator who switched souls with the original princess of the Gan Dynasty. After Gao Chushi joined, she was no longer the newbie and changed her name from Rookie #69 to the current iteration.
As a side note, Gao Chushi’s nickname was Rookie #420.
Ultimate Young Master: There is.
Flame-On: Can confirm. Going to become a Fifth-Step Monarch within a hundred years.
The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
Of course Tianyi knew that Yan Nie was on one of the Immortal Embassies. He wasn’t quite an official member of the Immortal Court, but the distinction was only in name. His master, Monarch Pillrabbit, was one of the deputies of the Immortal Court’s Alchemy Department under the Immortal Ministry of Works. Yan Nie concocted quite a bit of pills for them during the war, earning a lot of contribution points.
Fifty percent of the emperor-level pills came from him alone.
He had earned more than enough contribution points to ask the Immortal Court to allow him to join them in the Immortal Embassy. That included his wife, Yun Xialan. He even paid for Pan Lanyue’s trip too. Although he requested that she be sent on a different Immortal Embassy than himself.
Rookie #420: What? There is such a good thing? Argh, I really want to ascend as fast as possible. Is there any senior that can take me? I’ll remember this favor for the rest of my life!
For a while, silence seemed to have taken over the chat group.
Rookie #420: Guys? Why isn’t anyone answering?
Ultimate Young Master: What realm are you in right now?
Rookie #420: I’m currently in the Wuliao Realm, a high rank realm.
Ultimate Young Master: I can give you a slot, but what can you give me in return?
Although everyone was a reincarnator, that didn’t mean they would help each other unconditionally.
Now, it was Gao Chushi’s turn to become silent.
Just as Tianyi was about to give him some leeway, Gao Chushi dm’d him.
Rookie #420: Senior, I got a fragment of inheritance from the Kitchen God. Can I offer it as payment?
Tianyi thought about it. According to legend, the Kitchen God was also known as the Stove God. He was not a powerful god, but he controlled the Law of Fire. For Tianyi, the inheritance was useless, but it might be of use to the Immortal Court.
He also thought that Gao Chushi was not telling the whole truth. It could be possible that he had far more of the inheritance than he let on.
Ultimate Young Master: It’s no use to me, but I can offer you a different option. You can offer it to the Immortal Court and join as an immortal seed. With the backing of the Immortal Court, your path to immortality will become much smoother.
Rookie #420: Can you give me some time to think about it?
Ultimate Young Master: Of course. You literally have thousands of years to think about it.
With that, Tianyi returned to the Samsara Traveler’s Chat Group. With Gao Chushi’s departure, Gan Xuehua started posting again.
Real-Fake Princess: The demons’ attack on our nation has slowed down. We already lost about a third of our territory and Father is only managing thanks to the formation set up throughout the country, but we didn’t have enough time to set up formations everywhere. Public safety is down and people rarely venture out of the cities. Death rates have dramatically risen.
Real-Fake Princess: I’m hoping that the demons will give up and retreat to go after another target after realizing they would break their fangs attempting to devour us. I’m hoping to master a law and become an immortal monarch in one step to ease the pressure on Father.
Ultimate Young Master: Wait, devour? Are they eating humans?
Real-Fake Princess: No. It was an analogy with the Gan Dynasty as the bone.

Ultimate Young Master: I see. Well, you should be able to apply to get a seat on the next Immortal Embassy to comprehend the myriad laws. I’ll help you expedite the process. I will only make it smoother for you and not help you pay the price to get the seat. It still ultimately depends on yourself.
Real-Fake Princess: I understand. Just helping to expedite the process is already enough. Thank you.
Tianyi left the chat group and returned to comprehending the myriad laws. Unlike the immortals that had to use modes of transport like the Immortal Embassy, Tianyi could teleport outside any realm he liked and enter before they passed into the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System. Coupled with his countless conduits, he could theoretically be present every time the worldly laws were exposed.
The conduit present didn’t even need to be that strong. Any level zero conduit would do. Their combat prowess varied only because of the amount of power they could draw from the Nine Heavens Universe, but their perception did not differ much. It was more than enough to comprehend the worldly laws. And because of the uniqueness of his existence, none of the other immortals could perceive him unless they physically saw him.
Thanks to this opportunity, the breadth of Tianyi’s mastery of worldly laws increased at an absurd rate. Not even an immortal sovereign could compare. Perhaps, only divinities could rival his comprehension speed. The more worldly laws he comprehended, the faster he comprehended new laws. It was a positive feedback loop with seemingly no end.
The more laws he comprehended, the greater control he had over his inner universe. He spotted more planets, created more constellations that radiated the aura of the laws he comprehended. However, Tianyi realized that it did not increase his strength much. He still needed to create methods of application of the laws.
His level three conduit was still at the power of an immortal emperor, his level two conduits still only had the power of a half-emperor if pushed to the limits, and his level one conduits had the power of an immortal lord, and so on. Granted, it could be argued that his level three conduit had the power of an immortal sovereign.
In fact, many immortals who witnessed Tianyi’s power classified him as an immortal sovereign. It was only because Tianyi rejected the title that they still addressed him as emperor when not calling him grand elder.
Upon noticing this, Tianyi devoted some of his focus on increasing his application of the worldly laws he comprehended. Unlike Ye Chen or Donghai Longzi, he had not embarked on the path of fusing worldly laws. Although arguably, the Law of Spacetime was a fused law in itself, Tianyi saw it as the original form of the Law of Space and the Law of Time. If mastered to the zenith, it wasn’t impossible to reach the divine level. By then, the restraints placed on him by the Heavenly Dao would weaken, allowing him to bring more power from his inner universe and create more powerful conduits.
Right now, he was devoted to creating new moves based on the Law of Spacetime. Previously, he mostly focused on the spatial aspects and neglected the temporal aspects, as they were more difficult to master. Now, he was focusing on the temporal aspects so that they caught up to his spatial application of the Law of Spacetime.
Tianyi devoted himself to cultivation with such focus that over a hundred years passed. Had it not been for his mother calling him, he would not have realized how long time passed.
“Yi’er, is there something wrong?” Mengfei asked. She had furrowed her brows, and it was clear to anyone that she was worried.
