Bride Kidnapping or Informing? The Primordial Measuring Ruler
Chapter 24 Bride Kidnapping or Informing? The Primordial Measuring Ruler
As the world grows, the power of the Primordial Chaos, which is the Heavenly Dao of this world, is also increasing.
Even Lin Yang can no longer estimate the extent of his clone's strength.
Lin Yang remained calm as he observed the changes in the world. A variety of insights welled up within him. His newly achieved breakthrough gradually stabilized, and his cultivation continued to improve.
This was also a stroke of luck for him.
Once the world calmed down, Lin Yang's aura became increasingly profound and unpredictable, seemingly both present and absent, giving him a feeling similar to that of the Primordial Era.
This outcome was actually inevitable.
After all, Lin Yang walks the path of the world, and his body is a mixture of various laws, so isn't that the same as a Heavenly Dao?
After stabilizing his realm, Lin Yang did not continue to cultivate using the Time Array.
Because at his level, he simply uses the time difference to make his cultivation last longer.
It is mostly useful for increasing magical power and honing supernatural abilities, but the most important thing for improving one's realm is the understanding of the laws.
But it's not something that can be easily obtained by simply spending time. It requires talent, understanding, and opportunity.
So Lin Yang emerged from seclusion and held a sermon in the Undying Volcano, addressing the entire clan.
With his current cultivation level, he is already undoubtedly the number one person in the Phoenix Clan, surpassing even the Grand Elder.
Giving a sermon to the entire Phoenix Clan is as simple as it gets.
The Grand Elder and a group of powerful figures from the Phoenix Clan also came to listen to the teachings.
After all, this was Lin Yang's first time giving a sermon, and unless he was really too busy, everyone would come to give him face.
Kong Xuan also came.
With the Grand Elder by his side, he waited earnestly for Lin Yang to begin his lecture.
Lin Yang didn't say much. After glancing at the clansmen below the stage, he began to speak.
In an instant, as Lin Yang began his sermon, a hazy, resonant voice echoed, and countless strange phenomena arose within the Undying Volcano.
As the clansmen listened to Lin Yang's sermon, the initial slight noise gradually subsided, and they all became immersed in Lin Yang's teachings.
Lin Yang's teachings progressed from simple to complex, covering a wide range of topics, from his deepest understanding of the Four Symbols, to the Way of Space, then to the Way of the Five Elements, the Way of Yin and Yang, the Way of Time, and so on, leaving people speechless.
Lin Yang preached the Dao for hundreds of years before finally ending. Seeing that many people below the stage were still asleep, Lin Yang nodded to the Grand Elder, and with a flash, disappeared from the stage.
The elder shook his head, having grown accustomed to Lin Yang's behavior.
Lin Yang didn't really want to be in such a hurry, but he had no choice. Just now, the system notification sounded in his mind again.
He's in a hurry to go back and make a choice.
"Ding! The Heavenly Wedding has begun. Emperor Jun has dispatched a wedding procession to welcome the two celestial maidens of the Moon Star. However, the Fire Ancestral Witch Zhurong and the Water Ancestral Witch Gonggong of the Witch Clan plan to ambush the wedding procession. The host may make the following choices."
"Option 1: Rob the bride. Take advantage of the chaos halfway through the journey and snatch the two fairies of Taiyin Star back to the Undying Volcano. Upon completion of the mission, you will receive the top-tier innate spiritual treasure, the Demon-Suppressing Tower."
"Option Two: Inform. Reveal to Emperor Jun that Zhu Rong and Gong Gong are about to ambush the wedding procession. You will gain Emperor Jun's favor and be rewarded with the superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Sun God Furnace."
"Option 3: Do nothing and you will receive the Primordial Measuring Ruler as a reward."
"????"
A string of question marks popped into Lin Yang's head. The Primordial Measuring Ruler! Did he even have a choice?
Lin Yang initially thought the system was hiding some hidden meaning.
What is being concealed in this last choice?
But no matter what Lin Yang thought, it was a free gift!
The Primordial Measuring Ruler is one of only two acquired treasures of merit in the world.
Another item is Lao Tzu's companion treasure, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, which is said to grant one an invincible position when standing atop it.
Aside from innate treasures, it can be said to be invincible in terms of defense!
The Hongmeng Measuring Ruler is the exact opposite; it focuses on attack rather than defense.
Therefore, the attack power of the Primordial Measuring Ruler can rival that of a Primordial Treasure.
"System, I choose option three," Lin Yang said without hesitation.
Free equipment? Why not take it?
As for things like kidnapping a bride or informing on someone, those are thankless and exhausting tasks; only a fool would do them.
As soon as Lin Yang made his choice, the rewards were distributed.
It was indeed the Primordial Measuring Ruler, a treasure of immense merit.
Lin Yang now possesses two supreme treasures.
One is naturally the God-Slaying Spear from before, and now there is another one: the Primordial Measuring Ruler.
In fact, neither of these two items can be considered true treasures.
Moreover, they all lean towards attack. But the fragrance is irresistible! The God-Slaying Spear can injure the primordial spirit of a saint, and it is one of the few things in the primordial world that can threaten an immortal saint.
Besides having its attack attributes maxed out, the Primordial Measuring Ruler's merit-based treasure properties can also be used to suppress destiny.
Therefore, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler is also of great importance to Lin Yang.
The Phoenix Clan is currently thriving, and if the Primordial Measuring Ruler were to suppress its fortune...
The Phoenix Clan's fortune is naturally guaranteed.
Therefore, after refining the Primordial Measuring Ruler, Lin Yang used it together with the Flame Banner and the Wutong Tree as a treasure to suppress the Phoenix Clan's fortune.
The moment the Primordial Measuring Ruler became the Phoenix Clan's most precious treasure, all the members of the Phoenix Clan felt it.
Especially the First Elder, when he looked up, he used his supernatural powers to observe the Phoenix Clan's fortune and vaguely saw the shape of a ruler, radiating boundless merit energy, which steadily suppressed the Phoenix Clan's fortune.
The elder was utterly shocked when he saw the ruler.
"This is... the Primordial Measuring Ruler? A treasure of immense merit? Where did Yang'er get it?"
The Grand Elder was completely baffled.
Based on his observations, Lin Yang was a shut-in.
When I go out, it's just a short trip between two points; I come right back after finishing my business.
So where did Lin Yang get the Primordial Measuring Ruler?
Did he secretly go out without telling me?
The elder shook his head, as if he felt his children had grown up and he himself had grown old.
However, the Grand Elder was more excited and relieved.
Regardless, the Primordial Measuring Ruler suppresses the Phoenix Clan's fortune.
And Lin Yang's rise to power will help the entire clan thrive once again.
These things made him extremely gratified!
"Ancestor, do you see? Our Phoenix Clan has risen again! Yang'er's future is extraordinary!!!" the Grand Elder exclaimed.
After Lin Yang regarded the Primordial Measuring Ruler as the Phoenix Clan's most precious treasure, he didn't care and continued to cultivate silently.
Although his cultivation hasn't made much progress, cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind.
Maintaining a state of continuous cultivation is never wrong.
After all, if we can't improve, we can't regress either, right?
However, Lin Yang did not expect that Di Jun's wedding was ambushed by the Wu Clan, and his wife was almost stolen away.
This, however, became the catalyst for another war between the Lich and Demon races.
Less than five hundred years after Lin Yang went into seclusion, the system's selection prompt came again.
