The scene was deathly silent!
But in the hearts of King Wu and Cao Rufeng, monumental waves surged!
They were both powerhouses at the Immortal Emperor level!
They knew how incredibly difficult it was to control the power of laws!
Some Immortal Emperors spent their entire lives without ever mastering a single law!
And he...
Had done it in less than five minutes?
If they hadn't known Chen Nan to be a person of simple and honest character!
They would have surely accused him of bragging!
Even so!
They found it hard to accept that someone could master the power of laws in mere minutes!
Even though they knew Chen Nan was the prophesied one!
Their hearts were still deeply unsettled!
Seeing their reaction, Chen Nan quickly changed the subject: "Ninth Uncle, how many laws can one person control?"
King Wu's mouth twitched: "Do you think the power of laws is like eating, where you can have as much as you want?"
"Each person can only control one law!"
"However, the amount of law power determines how strong they are!"
Chen Nan couldn't help but ask: "Has no one ever been able to control a second law?"
King Wu was amused: "Little fellow, to control one law is already an immense fortune. I've never even heard of anyone controlling a second law!"
"Given your intelligence, you shouldn't be asking such a senseless question!"
"Oh!" Chen Nan didn't mention that he had mastered a second law.
King Wu continued: "The power of laws is the ticket to godhood. As long as your law power is strong enough to engulf mountains and rivers, you can become the Human Race's Supreme!"
"And when you reach the point of swallowing stars and rivers, you can ascend to the Divine Realm and become a god!"
"Once in the Divine Realm, you can comprehend divine arts!"
"If you can control a complete Great Dao, you can break free from the cycle of reincarnation and become an immortal and unkillable Saint!"
He spoke with a look of longing in his eyes!
Becoming a Saint!
This was the shared dream of billions of cultivators!
"Oh~~~!" Chen Nan put on a look of sudden enlightenment!
In reality, he understood everything King Wu had said!
But...
He couldn't embarrass King Wu.
To say he had mastered a second law?
Cao Rufeng spoke: "I feel like you're hiding something, kid!"
His gaze was sharp!
It made Chen Nan's skin crawl!
King Wu frowned, then as if struck by a thought, his pupils trembled violently: "Why did you ask how many laws one person can control? With your intelligence, you shouldn't ask such a senseless question!"
"Wait!"
"Could it be that you have mastered a second law?"
Cao Rufeng, Wu Sheng, and Yu Fei all looked at Chen Nan with horror!
Chen Nan nodded with embarrassment, and the Extreme Yin Law appeared in his right hand!
"You've mastered the Yin-Yang Laws?" King Wu suddenly stood up, goosebumps rising all over him!
The Yin-Yang Laws were the most sacred formations in the world!
They were the origin of all laws!
Because before Yin and Yang, there were no Five Elements!
To control even one of the Yin-Yang Laws was terrifying enough!
Let alone Chen Nan mastering both simultaneously!
"This couldn't have been another law you mastered in five minutes, could it?" Cao Rufeng's voice trembled, his heart racing!
He felt like he had struck an incredible bargain!
This disciple of his had terrifying talent!
"No, no!" Chen Nan said: "Although mastering the Extreme Yang Law took less than five minutes, mastering the Extreme Yin Law took a very long time, about three days!"
King Wu almost spat out a mouthful of blood: "Do you have a misunderstanding of 'a very long time'?"
"You're too pretentious!" Cao Rufeng shook his head in disappointment!
Chen Nan scratched his scalp awkwardly!
Three days truly felt like a long time to him!
"Uncle Cao, I don't agree with your words!" Wu Sheng said: "Is Brother Chen pretentious?"
"No, he's genuinely amazing!"
"The only reason you call him pretentious is because you're envious of his opportunities!"
"Furthermore, I feel we shouldn't measure others by our own standards!"
"Oh, you dare to reprimand this old man?" Cao Rufeng's eyes gleamed with a meaningful look!
Wu Sheng immediately cowered!
He dared to wield the Dragon Slaying Sword against King Wu, but he was filled with reverence for Cao Rufeng!
After all, Cao Rufeng was practically his half-master!
He had once been trapped in formations by Cao Rufeng for months!
Yu Fei looked at Chen Nan with admiration and affection!
But there was also a sense of distance!
Chen Nan already possessed strength comparable to a ninth-level True Immortal!
And he had mastered two laws!
And she...
Was still at the Golden Immortal realm!
She felt like she couldn't keep up with Chen Nan's pace anymore!
To her, Chen Nan was like the brightest star in the night sky!
So close, yet so far away!
------
King Wu tremblingly picked up his wine cup and drained it!
After swallowing the wine, his heart gradually calmed down a bit!
He then spoke: "Chen Nan, the Yin-Yang Laws are the most powerful laws in the world. Each one, when cultivated to its extreme, can crush other laws!"
"After all, Yin and Yang encompass all things in the universe!"
"I don't deny that the Human Emperor's Annihilation Law is also powerful!"
"But in front of the Yin-Yang Laws, it's insignificant!"
He paused, then said: "Although my talent and opportunities are inferior to yours in every way!"
"I am, after all, a ninth-level Immortal Emperor!"
"I see some things more clearly than you do!"
"I feel that the Yin and Yang Laws can be merged!"
He had no semblance of a ninth-level Immortal Emperor in front of Chen Nan, so he wanted to offer Chen Nan some guidance!
To regain some dignity in this manner!
"I don't understand formations, but after playing chess with your master for many years, I've learned some theories of formations through osmosis!"
"Although there's a saying in formations about Yin and Yang being incompatible!"
"But Yin and Yang were originally one!"
"When Yin and Yang were undifferentiated, it was called Chaos!"
"When Chaos first opened, there was the division of Yin and Yang!"
"There was the sky, and the earth!"
"In fact, you can try to merge the two laws into one!"
"Although I don't know what will happen when two laws are merged, the power should not be weak!"
"Junior accepts your teachings. When I become stronger, I will certainly try as Ninth Uncle suggested!" Chen Nan said with great humility!
Although he had already successfully merged the Yin-Yang Laws!
But as a junior!
He couldn't refuse King Wu's goodwill!
He couldn't just stand with his hands on his hips and tell King Wu that he had already achieved everything he mentioned!
That would be too disrespectful to King Wu!
King Wu showed a look of relief!
Heh!
Young man!
Even if your talent is extraordinary and surpasses all past and present!
I am, after all, one of the eight Supremes of the Human Race!
How can my foresight and comprehension be compared to yours?
A few words of guidance will bring you immeasurable benefits!
Just then!
A sea breeze blew from the south!
And the two Yin-Yang Laws in Chen Nan's hands swayed with the wind!
They merged together...
King Wu's eyes went blank!
A silent shock surged within him!
Who the hell can tell me!
What in the world just happened?
