Creak.
The door gently pushed open.
It was still drizzling outside. Ye Zichen never would've guessed that the true intent of water he'd comprehended in his sea of consciousness would manifest outside as well.
"The rain has stopped."
A soft and slow chant was spat out from his mouth. It was like a mantra, and the hazy drizzle in the air instantly dissipated.
Whether it was the Upper Three Realms, not a single drop of rain fell from the sky. The radiant sun hung high in the sky, and the dazzling rainbows shone even more brilliantly than before.
Ye Zichen retracted the rain and couldn't help but close his eyes.
"Is this what it feels like to be a ruler?"
Comprehending the true intent of water had helped Ye Zichen break through to the ruler realm. Although his soul power had broken through long ago, he was still quite a ways off.
Now that he'd truly broken through, he discovered that the difference between the Diviner realm and the ruler realm was like a chasm between heaven and earth.
When he was a diviner, he'd clearly sensed the Laws binding him, but now he felt as if he could control the entire world if he willed it.
This was a ruler's domain.
However, apart from that, he also felt that the restraints of the rules on him were even more severe.
This was understandable ….
In the eyes of the Laws, millions of cultivators were nothing more than slaves! Before he broke through to the Sovereign Realm, in the eyes of the Laws, he was an unremarkable nobody. He posed no threat to the Laws. Those who broke through were like slaves armed with weapons. If they could harm the Laws, they'd inevitably be taken seriously and suppressed even more severely.
。
He'd just broken through, and this was already the case. Yang Jian, the Great Sage, and the others might be suppressed even more severely.
But the more it was like this, the more people wanted to break free.
No wonder everyone wanted to transcend!
"Ye-zi, did you succeed?"
Yang Jian and the others, who'd been standing guard outside, immediately rushed to Ye Zichen's side. They knew full well why he'd entered seclusion.
Ye Zichen looked up into the sky and noticed the existence of dozens of rulers.
No need to think too much about it. This was Xue Yang's territory. Naturally, this was the Ocean Emperor's command.
"What a grand spectacle." Ye Zichen couldn't help but shake his head and smile. "I guess I succeeded."
"Alliance Head Ye."
The rulers descended from the sky as well. Ye Zichen recognized the first one; it was none other than the Xue Family's Third Elder, who'd met him not long ago.
"Third Elder," Ye Zichen cupped his hands.
In truth, Ye Zichen had only met the Third Elder once. When his identity was revealed, the Third Elder couldn't help but be shocked. Then he smiled.
"I didn't expect Lord Ye to still remember this old man."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Third Elder spoke again.
"Since Alliance Master Ye has come out of seclusion, we won't disturb you any longer. If Alliance Master Ye needs any assistance, feel free to contact this old man. This old man will do his best to cooperate. "
"Thank you."
The Xue Family's experts all retreated, but before they left, there were still a few who stayed behind to secretly protect them.
After witnessing everything, the Venerable Lord of Numinous Treasure also walked over and nodded in praise like an elder.
"To be able to comprehend the True Meaning of Water in such a short period of time, you are truly a peerless genius. Especially since you comprehended auspicious water. Not bad. "
Ye Zichen wasn't surprised in the slightest. Given his cultivation, it was only natural that he'd seen through the rain just now. It was just that he'd also comprehended calamitous water, but he'd never mentioned it to the Venerable Lord.
There were bound to be plenty of people out there who could tell that the rain was auspicious water, but they'd never heard of calamitous water.
Who knew? In the future, calamitous water might become his trump card.
"Venerable Lord of Numinous Treasure, you praise me too much. In truth, I only broke through because of an expert's guidance. If not for that expert, I might still be stuck trying to comprehend the True Meaning of Fire," said Ye Zichen.
"Comprehending the True Meaning of Fire in the Sea of Innocence …."
The Venerable Lord of Numinous Treasure truly was at the apex of the pyramid of experts. As soon as Ye Zichen said this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"That's right," said Ye Zichen with a bitter smile. "It's not like I can't understand why you'd do this. When I looked at your Dao of the Five Elements, you did indeed comprehend fire the most. It's only natural that you'd be blind." The Venerable Lord of Numinous Treasure sneered at Ye Zichen. "It's just that I'm quite curious about that expert you mentioned. You saw the situation outside just now, right?
Dozens of rulers locked down the divine senses of the outside world, and all of us were paying close attention. I can't believe someone managed to escape all of our attention and enter your sea of consciousness to give you pointers. Did you tell me his name? "
"No."
"Even if I didn't say it, I'd have an idea." The Venerable Lord of Numinous Treasure laughed enigmatically.
"Senior, do you know who that expert is?" asked Ye Zichen. "In the Three Realms of Yao and Demon, even if you count those reclusive old geezers, there are only a handful of people who could've entered your sea of consciousness without my notice. However, since he's unwilling to tell me, there's no need for me to. Besides, he'll be coming to you soon, and then you'll know of him. "
When that happens, you'll naturally know his identity. "
From the Venerable Lord of Numinous Treasure's words, it was clear that he really did know who that expert was.
Before he left, that expert had said that he'd come to the Divine Mountains to find him soon. Earlier, the Hermit Emperor had said something similar, but none of the major powers had said a word about that expert's identity.
This distressed Ye Zichen, but at the same time, he was filled with anticipation.
However, what he needed to do now wasn't to figure out who that expert was. What he needed to do most urgently was open the final floor of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
That was the final fragment of the key to the God Emperor's tomb, as well as the Yao-Sealing Pagoda's strongest combat power.
The Yao-Sealing Pagoda appeared with a flip of his hand. The pitch-black pagoda was still covered in rust, but after opening the third floor, it seemed a bit more translucent.
Ye Zichen didn't hesitate for too long. In front of everyone, he entered the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
Everyone present had been by his side this entire time, so they knew exactly what Ye Zichen wanted to do. They didn't need to explain too much.
Yang Jian and the Great Sage tacitly sealed off their surroundings with their divine senses. By now, Ye Zichen had arrived at the Yao-Sealing Pagoda's palace.
The first three floors had already been converted into a separate space. All that was left before him was a staircase.
He walked up the staircase, which ended in front of a glowing, blue door.
Ye Zichen took a deep breath, then stood in front of the door for a long time.
Right now, the true intent of water and the ruler realm were his strongest trump cards. He was worried that they wouldn't be enough to open the door, so all he could do was pray …..
