From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 649 Celestial Decree
"I heard you've spread the ancestral fire-based techniques far and wide?"

Inside the cave, Immortal Lord Danyu, who arrived riding on a fiery cloud, frowned and asked Li Yang.

"Are you crazy? How can ancestral laws be passed on so casually? Even if you don't cultivate them yourself, they are still excellent as bargaining chips and trump cards. How can you just give them away like that?"

Wu Qiye was very puzzled. He had heard that the returning Earth Immortals had received the Fire Ancestral Law from Yan Jin, and he came to inquire in shock. But judging from Li Yang's current state, it seemed that he did not take the Fire Ancestral Law seriously at all, just like a cabbage on the roadside.

Upon hearing that Wu Qiye had come specifically to question him, Li Yang slowly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them before his gaze returned to its usual calm and collected state.
"I have my reasons for spreading the Dharma. With the Yaochi Dharma Assembly approaching and the Nine Sects Council meeting less than a year away, it's always good for my fellow Daoist from Purgatory Valley to have more resources and trump cards."

"Hmph, I didn't expect our Immortal Lord Yan Jin to be such a kind person, so considerate of the valley~~" Wu Qiye sneered, seemingly not believing Li Yang's words at all.

“The ancestral laws are too much to interfere with and have too deep a karmic consequence. I advise you not to be so ostentatious, or you will suffer a great disaster! They are something that even celestial giants are wary of.”

Wu Qiye said something meaningful, his phoenix eyes fixed on Li Yang.

"Cause and effect? ​​What cause and effect?"

Li Yang's mind raced, and he asked tentatively.

"Heh, do you really think that old fox, the Grand Elder, is in seclusion studying fire magic? There are twenty-eight ancestral laws. It's not that no ancestral laws have appeared over countless years, but those sects were all mysteriously erased in the end, disappearing silently into the river of history. Ancestral laws are both great opportunities and great disasters. If you are not strong enough, you will only bring disaster upon yourself!"

"Why was the Demonic Joyful Union Sect wiped out three thousand years ago? Was the Xuanhuang Palace so eager to eradicate it truly out of a desire to eliminate demons and uphold justice? Back then, the Demonic Joyful Union Sect was no weaker than the Purgatory Valley is now..."

Li Yang was somewhat stunned, and upon hearing Wu Qiye's words, a chill ran through him.

"You mean the Grand Elder is in seclusion now to observe the situation and avoid trouble?"

“I didn’t say anything about that old man. Who knows?” Wu Qiye shook his head. “I’m just advising you not to be so ostentatious. You know, when you had Nanfeng bring the technique back, Lingguang and Wude paid a considerable price to get the Fire Transmission Technique from that old man. Now you’re just casually passing on such a precious Fire Transmission Technique. If that old man finds out, you’ll definitely be in trouble.”

"The matter of the Demonic Joyful Union Sect back then was just our speculation. However, we will need the resources of our Purgatory Valley to attack the Ancestral Star soon. The Xuanhuang Palace is not going to attack us now."

At this point, Wu Qiye frowned and looked at Li Yang with a puzzled expression: "Yan Jin, you've really become less and less like yourself since you came back from the ancestral star this time."

"If I didn't know there was no way to simulate the Dao Fruit in the world, I would doubt whether you were Yan Jin or not..."

"Of course I am who I am, it's just that you've never understood me before." Li Yang's heart stirred, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Is my husband complaining about me, or is he jealous?" Wu Qiye's expression changed, and she looked at Li Yang with a resentful expression.

"No."

"I haven't even settled the score with you yet for killing my disciple Luo Wuji without cause, my husband~" Wu Qiye bit her bright red lips, her eyes looking at Li Yang like autumn water: "My husband has been back in the valley for some time now, and we haven't had a single dual cultivation session. How can I understand you if you are so resistant?"

Li Yang: "..."

After chatting for another half hour, Wu Qiye finally left. Li Yang sat alone in the cave, his relaxed expression instantly turning serious.

"As expected, suspicions have already begun to arise..."

Li Yang now possesses the Sun Law, the Moon Law, and even the complete Five Elements Earth Law, so he doesn't care much about the incomplete Five Elements Fire Law. At this moment, he only wants to divert the attention of these Earth Immortals in the valley so that he can have time to develop.

In the following days, Li Yang kept a low profile and refused to see any more Earth Immortals who came to visit. However, by this time, five or six Earth Immortals had already received the Fire Technique from him. With the techniques being passed on to each other, the Fire Root Technique had become almost a semi-public knowledge among the higher-ups of Purgatory Valley.

Li Yang was happy with this; it would be better if he didn't get disturbed and could develop in secret.

However, this calm was finally broken in the fifth week.

Ode!
Ode!
Ode!
A blazing cloud of fire exploded high above Purgatory Valley, transforming into a thousand-meter-tall phantom of a divine bird that blotted out the sun and turned the entire world a crimson red.

Like a volcanic eruption, with the earth's veins surging forth, the terrifying power of heaven and earth shook the entire Purgatory Valley.

Li Yang, who was meditating, was quickly awakened, feeling uneasy and filled with a sense of panic as if the sky were falling and the earth were collapsing.

"Is this the power of a celestial being?"

Li Yang frowned, and the clear primordial spirit between his brows almost burst out under the powerful pressure.

Just as they were filled with astonishment and uncertainty about this sudden turn of events, Wu Qiye's voice suddenly rang out from outside the cave.
"Fellow Daoist Yan Jin, have you not set off yet? The Grand Elder is issuing a Celestial Edict, inviting us to come and discuss matters!"

Li Yang immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Has that old man come out of seclusion? How could he be out so quickly?!"

"Could it be that Fire Crow's affair has been exposed?"

"Is it because of my recent activities spreading the fire magic throughout the valley... or perhaps, my identity has been exposed?"

Li Yang immediately felt uneasy and uncertain. In his current state, he lacked confidence in facing a Celestial Immortal giant. Once exposed, he did not believe he could escape Purgatory Valley.

“It’s coming out.”

Knowing that not going would only arouse suspicion and cause further complications, Li Yang immediately agreed. He tidied his clothes and carefully removed the odor from his body using a purification technique before opening the cave door and gracefully taking flight.

Waiting outside the cave was Immortal Lord Changyin, who had informed him of the news about Celestial Master Sa and Ancestor Chen Tuan at the Forbidden Domain's Absolute Star Ridge a few days ago. He was also a fire cultivator, and his appearance was not particularly stunning, but after looking at him for a while, he gave people a very comfortable feeling.

Perhaps because Li Yang had shown him kindness in transmitting the Dharma, this Immortal Lord Changyin was very friendly towards Li Yang.

"Let's go."

Li Yang smiled kindly, then he and Changyin Immortal Lord rose gracefully and headed towards the direction of the divine bird's phantom.

Throughout the journey, Li Yang continued to recall every detail of the past two weeks, making sure he hadn't given himself away, but he still felt an inexplicable tension.

"Is this the Celestial Giant? Every word and action is like a divine decree, exerting such a powerful sense of pressure on me even before we've met?"

When will my Earth have a celestial being?

Li Yang was filled with anxiety, his thoughts churning, but he eventually suppressed them and remained expressionless.
