Chapter 2502: Chapter 2502

In an instant, the Jade Disk of Fortune buzzed as if sensing danger, and erupted in a dazzling rain of light to resist the intrusion of the nirvana law power.

However it quickly quieted down.

This was because the nirvana law power showed no malice.

On the contrary, as the nirvana law power flowed over it, the Jade Disk of Fortune seemed to benefit, as though undergoing a process of refinement and rebirth. It exuded a wondrous spiritual aura.

This continued for about a quarter of an hour.

Finally, the nirvana law power transformed back into a lotus flower-shaped pattern and faded back into the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron.

The Jade Disk of Fortune quivered slightly, and a new burst of light sprayed forth, suddenly transforming into an ethereal, illusory figure!

It was as if with the aid of the nirvana law power, this ancient treasure passed down from the founder of the Taiyi Immortal Sect had finally awakened its long-dormant spirit!

Lin Xun stood frozen in astonishment.

Could this be a law spirit like Wushuang, the spirit of the order of the heavenly dao of the Genesis Realm?

Just as this illusory figure was about to take shape, it seemed to lack the necessary strength. It gradually dimmed, then dissolved into a shower of light and vanished back into the Jade Disk of Fortune.

He examined the Jade Disk of Fortune over and over, but he could no longer sense anything.

After a long pause, he retrieved the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, and indeed found that in the inner world formed by the nirvana law power, there was a new realm—an immortal world!

It was vast and magnificent, suffused with immortal light. The landscapes of the four thousand nine hundred continents unfolded one by one, each one pulsing with profound laws and order. This was identical to the mysteries he had previously uncovered from the netherworld.

At this moment, the nirvana law power resembled a huge furnace, containing a world akin to reincarnation and a wall of stars...

These very scenes had already existed back when Lin Xun entered the Nirvana of Transcendence.

Now, within the nirvana law power, there was also the netherworld that opened up on the vast lands beneath the wall of stars, along with the immortal world that had just emerged.

In addition, a young girl dressed in white lay in peaceful slumber. She looked no older than thirteen or fourteen, and her features were youthful, delicate, and enchanting.

She was none other than Wushuang, the law spirit of the order of the heavenly dao of the Genesis Realm in the last epoch, who had survived the Five Dao Decays when the epoch collapsed!

According to the green sparrow, in the Eternal True Realm, only the rarest ninth grade Heaven Rank laws could give birth to such law spirits.

Wushuang was indisputably one of them!

Lin Xun had originally believed that a similar spirit might be born within the Jade Disk of Fortune. However, it was now clear that, even with the nourishment from the nirvana law power, the illusory figure had failed to fully take form.

There were only two possible explanations.

One possibility was that a law spirit belonging to the immortal world had once existed within the Jade Disk of Fortune, but for some unknown reason, had fallen into deep slumber.

The other possibility was that a law spirit was still being nurtured within the Jade Disk of Fortune, but due to insufficient power and untimely conditions, it had yet to be born.

In either case, the conclusion was the same: At least for now, the Jade Disk of Fortune was of no use to Lin Xun.

“I nearly destroyed my five dao bodies, but all I got was a useless treasure...”

The corner of Lin Xun’s lips twitched faintly.

In truth, he also understood that only by embarking on the path of immortality could he hope to comprehend and grasp the power of law and order.

Clearly, the secrets of the Jade Disk of Fortune were related to such powers, which was far beyond what his current cultivation could grasp. After a moment’s thought, Lin Xun put the Jade Disk of Fortune away, rose from the bluestone platform, and walked out of the hall.

Xiang Xiaoyuan and Yue Duqiu had been waiting all this time, and worry had begun to show between their brows. They were anxious for Lin Xun.

“I wonder how Brother Lin is doing...” Yue Duqiu sighed softly.

Just then, his eyes widened in surprise. “He’s out! He’s out!”

Xiang Xiaoyuan quickly turned her gaze and saw Lin Xun’s tall figure standing before the Great Taiyi Hall at the top of the ninety-nine stone steps.

The heavy weight pressing on Xiang Xiaoyuan’s heart these past few days finally lifted and a radiant smile bloomed on her fair, delicate face.

As Lin Xun descended the stone steps, the corpses that had once littered the path disintegrated into drifting ashes with each step he took, like sand scattering in the wind. By the time he reached the bottom, the ninety-nine stone steps were completely silent and free of even a single terrifying corpse.

Seeing this, Xiang Xiaoyuan and Yue Duqiu vaguely understood something.

“Come with me.” Without explaining anything, Lin Xun led the two up the stone steps.

Now that he had subdued the Jade Disk of Fortune, he held control over the area. With this treasure in hand, he no longer had to fear any lurking dangers.

Xiang Xiaoyuan and Yue Duqiu followed closely behind. Together, they ascended the steps and entered the Great Taiyi Hall.

Only then did Lin Xun briefly recount his experiences after entering the hall, without hiding the fact that he had successfully subdued the Jade Disk of Fortune.

“This treasure was destined for Brother Lin. If it were just the two of us, we probably wouldn’t even have made it through the doors,” Xiang Xiaoyuan said with heartfelt emotion.

“That’s right, that’s right,” Yue Duqiu echoed, nodding repeatedly.

Lin Xun smiled and pointed to the bluestone platform nearby. “Meditating there can bring unimaginable benefits to your cultivation. You two should give it a try.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was the first to step forward. The moment she sat cross-legged on the bluestone platform, a tremor ran through her heart. She sensed the wondrous and mysterious power of the platform.

Seeing this, Lin Xun chose not to disturb them and quietly left the hall.

In the Taiyi Ruins, aside from the great hall, many other areas remained unexplored, and Lin Xun intended to investigate them. Unfortunately, despite searching thoroughly, Lin Xun found nothing of value.

Eventually, he returned to the base of the ninety-nine steps and casually sat down cross-legged, intending to leave once Xiang Xiaoyuan and Yue Duqiu came out of the hall. This was not the only forbidden area in the Dao Ruins. Countless other incredible fortunes and hidden legacies lay waiting to be discovered.

However, Lin Xun had already lost interest in such things

He had not forgotten Dugu Youran’s warning that was delivered through Peng Tianxiang: An unpredictable calamity might soon erupt in the Dao Ruins, and it could even engulf all of Taiyi City!

Now, Lin Xun only wanted to gather enough Emperor-level evil spirits and leave this place as quickly as possible.

“Well, this is unexpected. We didn’t run into a single danger on the way here. What luck.”

Suddenly, distant voices drifted through the air.

“It’s said that this place used to be home to a major sect in the last epoch. Just looking at the sword mark left in the Sword Washing Pond, you can tell how terrifying their strength must have been...”

“Hey, someone’s here!”

Before the conversation ended, a group of men and women appeared in the distance. When they spotted Lin Xun sitting cross-legged alone, they froze in surprise.

However, as their gazes followed the ninety-nine stone steps upward to the Great Taiyi Hall towering above, their eyes lit up with excitement.

Immediately, a beautiful woman smiled and asked, “Friend, did you already claim the fortune here?”

The man at the center of the group, clearly their leader, exuded a mysterious and commanding aura. With a faint smile, he said, “That’s obvious. So here’s the deal, hand over the treasure and we’ll let you walk away.”

Lin Xun opened his eyes.

There were more than a dozen figures in the group, each radiating a powerful and intimidating presence. Several were Ninth Realm Ancestors and some were supreme Emperors.

The man leading them wore silver robes and was surrounded by divine radiance. His aura was immense and he was an eighth realm supreme Emperor!

At his side stood an old man holding a sword. Though he appeared aged and frail, the aura radiating from him was unmistakably that of an Ancestor of a Path.

Without question, this was a formidable lineup!

“What are you standing around for?” someone snapped impatiently.

The silver-robed leader commanded, “Go check out the hall up the steps.”

He didn’t even spare Lin Xun a glance. His attention was fixed on the Great Taiyi Hall, as if he sensed its extraordinariness.

Immediately, several figures moved toward the Great Taiyi Hall, completely ignoring Lin Xun who sat cross-legged on the steps.

Just then, Lin Xun rose to his feet, and a vast, boundless pressure surged from his body, stopping them in their tracks

“You...don’t recognize me?” Lin Xun asked, scanning them with a strange look.

Someone scoffed, “Who the hell are you supposed to be? What makes you think we’d recognize you?”

Mocking sneers appeared on many faces. Some frowned, studying Lin Xun closer, trying to recall something. Seeing this, Lin Xun quickly understood they truly didn’t know who he was. If they had seen what he’d done in Taiyi City, they wouldn’t dare speak to him .

“No matter who you are, even if you’re the king of heaven himself, if you don’t hand over the treasure, you’re not walking out of here alive!” an old man snorted coldly.

“Is that so?” Lin Xun chuckled, and with a flick of his sleeve, a shower of light surged forth, transforming into a brilliant torrent of sword qi that slashed toward the old man.

The old man met it head-on, activating a secret technique as terrifying power erupted from his body. However, in the blink of an eye, his defenses were shredded like paper by the sword qi and he was cut down on the spot. Blood splattered like rain.

This scene made everyone’s expressions change.

“You’re courting death!” The silver-robed man’s expression darkened.

Beside him, the sword-wielding old man’s murky eyes flashed. Without warning, he lunged forward and brought his palm down toward Lin Xun’s head. He was an Emperor Ancestor. The palm strike appeared casual on the surface, but it carried unimaginable world-shaking power!

However, Lin Xun simply stretched lazily and casually thrust his palm forward in response.

Terrifying shockwaves erupted, surging like a tsunami and shaking heaven and earth. A rain of light swept out, spreading like a tidal wave. The sword-wielding old man staggered back several steps back, his face contorting in disbelief.

“Is an Ancestor of a Path really this pathetic?”

Lin Xun’s gaze was deep, calm and indifferent.

Just as everyone’s expression shifted, a sharp scream suddenly pierced the air,

“It’s him! Lin Xun from the Ancient Nebula Road!”
