Chapter 4106 - The Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy?

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Inside the magnificent hall of the palace, sword rays flew in all directions. However, they did not do any damage to the surroundings, giving the illusion that the two opponents were not very strong.

Yun Qing Yan scoffed coldly. “How surprising. You grew rather strong in less than 1,000 years. It’s hard to believe that someone whom I trampled under my feet in the mundane realm like an ant has become so strong.”

Duan Ling Tian was unaffected. He knew that the Yun Qing Yan in front of him was trying to provoke him, hoping he would make a mistake to break the deadlock.

Not only did Duan Ling Tian not take the bait, but he was also constantly studying Yun Qing Yan’s Mastery Dao. He tried to figure out how and why Yun Qing Yan’s control and execution of the Mastery Dao was better than his when the level of their comprehension was the same. As time passed, he began to understand his opponent.

Meanwhile, Yun Qing Yan continued to provoke Duan Ling Tian with his words as they fought.

Just like before, Duan Ling Tian did not take the bait. He only thought to himself, ‘Wait until I improve my control and use of the Mastery Dao. I’ll kill you at that time. You’re only trying to provoke me now because you’re about to be defeated.’

…

The deadlock lasted for several days.

Yun Qing Yan, similar to Duan Ling Tian, also possessed 99 Heavenly Veins. As such, both of them could easily absorb and transform the surrounding spiritual energy into Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. As such, both of them had extremely high endurance.

During the fierce battle, Duan Ling Tian also discovered that Yun Qing Yan’s consumption of his Divine Energy was lower than his.

“As expected of an opponent created by the Supreme Powerhouse Relic. Amazing! Even the control of the consumption of Divine Energy is remarkable! If I didn’t pay attention to his Mastery Dao and continuously improve, perhaps, I would be defeated in the end…”

Over the past few days, Duan Ling Tian’s control and use of the Mastery Dao had been improving. Previously, he only knew how to use the Mastery Dao superficially, but after learning from Yun Qing Yan, he had improved greatly. As such, it was only natural that the power he released when using the Mastery Dao was getting stronger as well.

…

In the end, after being stuck in a deadlock for five days, Duan Ling Tian began to gain the upper hand. On the sixth day, he finally managed to corner Yun Qing Yan and killed Yun Qing Yan with a strike of his sword.

Before his death, Yun Qing Yan’s eyes had widened in disbelief.

Upon seeing that, Duan Ling Tian marveled at the detail of the illusion created by the Supreme Powerhouse Relic. It was truly indistinguishable from reality. Fortunately, he had been mentally prepared and constantly reminded himself that everything was just an illusion, making it easy for him to ignore Yun Qing Yan’s provocative words.

After Yun Qing Yan died, his body magically vanished into thin air.

Duan Ling Tian looked up and muttered to himself, “The reward should appear soon, right?”

Duan Ling Tian looked at the details of the ceiling and marveled at its details again.

After a moment…

“It’s here!”

As expected, a beam of light suddenly shone down from the ceiling on Duan Ling Tian.

However, unlike before, Duan Ling Tian did not gain anything from the beam of light. Instead, he was transported to another place. When the beam of light disappeared, he found dense white fog swirling around him.

“This fog…”

When the fog touched Duan Ling Tian’s body, he found that the bottleneck he encountered when comprehending the Mastery Dao began to loosen again.

At this time, he suddenly saw a translucent figure of him executing the Mastery Dao along with a law. Unlike him, who comprehended the law of space, the figure was using the law of time.

The fog within the range of the Mastery Dao that was moving to the right suddenly froze when the figure used the Mastery Dao. Then, they began to flow backward as though they were going back in time. It was a stark contrast to the fog outside of the range that was flowing in the opposite direction.

Duan Ling Tian looked at the strange scene before him carefully.

“Controlling time and controlling space are different, but they share very strong similarities…”

Duan Ling Tian had learned a lot from carefully observing Yun Qing Yan’s Mastery Dao that was influenced by the supreme powerhouse. As such, he could easily tell that the figure in front of him had the same style as Yun Qing Yan when using the Mastery Dao. With this, it was not difficult for him to figure out that the figure in front of him was the phantom of the supreme powerhouse who left the Supreme Powerhouse Relic behind.

‘This fog helps with improving my Mastery Dao, and I can also watch the phantom of the supreme powerhouse demonstrating his Mastery Dao… This reward is much better than the previous one…’

Duan Ling Tian suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to carefully observe the figure in front of him. This was his first great fortuitous encounter after entering the Supreme Powerhouse Relic.

To make the best of this fortuitous encounter, even Duan Ling Tian’s doppelgangers in the lower realms went into closed-door cultivation. After all, he would be partially distracted if he had to control his doppelgangers. To completely focus now, he would have to relinquish his control over his doppelgangers, which would put his doppelgangers in an inactive state.

…

At this time, Yang Yu Chen sat cross-legged outside the entrance of the Supreme Powerhouse Relic, which was next to the entrance of the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm. He looked at the entrance hopefully as he murmured, “It’s been almost half a month since junior brother entered the relic. If he doesn’t come out in a few more days, his time in there will surpass that of Fourth Junior Sister. His journey in the past is much more difficult than ours, but it also made him tougher than us. I hope he can stay in there longer than Eldest Senior Sister and I did…”

The members of the Inner Palace faction were all from the mundane realms or the Devata Realms. Yang Yu Chen came from a mundane realm. However, due to his brilliance, it did not take long before he ascended to a Devata Realm due to help from a powerhouse in the Devata Realm.

His Second Senior Brother was the same as well.

As for his Eldest Senior Sister, she was a prodigy of a strong force in a Devata Realm. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. As such, she had a great foundation. It was no surprise that she was stronger than all her juniors in the Inner Palace faction. She did not spend a long time in the Devata Realm before she was brought to the Profound Energy Land and joined the Myriad Laws Academy and the Inner Palace faction. Out of everyone, she was the most fortunate.

As for Lang Chun Yuan, she had the most pitiful and unfortunate past.

Duan Ling Tian had the most difficult path, but he still managed to become an intermediate Lord of Gods at such a young age. Even when compared to the members of the Inner Palace faction, he was still rather outstanding.

With all these thoughts in mind, Yang Yu Chen smiled as he praised himself, “I really have a good eye for talent. I’m sure Eldest Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother will be very satisfied with junior brother…”

At this time, an old man silently appeared next to Yang Yu Chen and said, “Brat, you’re becoming more and more shameless…”

Yang Yu Chen froze upon hearing the voice. Then, he turned to look at the old man and said irritably, “Hey, you’re the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy, after all. How can you eavesdrop on others? Also, you’re the leader of the Legacy faction. Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for you to show up here? If I didn’t know better, I’d think you’re coveting our faction’s Supreme Powerhouse Relic!”

The old man shrugged and said with a faint smile, “What’s the point of coveting your Supreme Powerhouse Relic? I’d still need your help to enter it. Only those from the Inner Palace faction know how to open the relic.”

Yang Yu Chen rose to his feet and straightened his white robe before he said directly, “It’s good that you know that. Anyway, don’t tell me you came just to eavesdrop on me…”

The old man shook his head. “This is why I like you. You’re smart. I came out from closed-door cultivation today, and I heard that your new junior brother was targeted. Someone posted a task on the Dark Net to test his strength and defeat him. However, you’re clearly the real target. How are you feeling? If you feel pressured, I can order them to stop targeting your junior brother.”

Yang Yu Chen scoffed. “It’s useless, Academy Master. Do you think they’ll listen to you? They’ll just make a moveoutside the academy.”

The old man was not angered by the expression of contempt on Yang Yu Chen’s face at all. Instead, he smiled and said, “At the very least, he won’t be in danger as long as he stays in the academy. No matter what, you can’t keep an eye on him and protect him all the time, right?”
