Insights into the Great Natural Order require gradual, step-by-step progression; this is not something that can be rushed. Perhaps when the opportunity arises, enlightenment will suddenly dawn.
If one is fortunate enough to achieve a sudden enlightenment regarding the Great Natural Order, it is entirely possible for their own Color Spirit to grow by three to five layers, or even seven or eight. If it grows by over a dozen or twenty layers, that would undoubtedly be a stroke of immense luck, a great opportunity, a major enlightenment.
However, such circumstances are exceedingly rare; some may never encounter them in their entire lifetime.
Yet.
According to rumors, Lü Tianze, nine years ago when the Mandate descended and the Great Natural Order erupted with extraordinary splendor, encountered a great opportunity that only appears once in a thousand years. It caused his own Color Spirit Fortune to skyrocket overnight from just over 160 layers to a staggering 340 layers.
Such an enlightenment is absolutely rare throughout the ages.
At the very least, since the opening of the Present-Ancient Era, no one within the borders of the Yanluo Kingdom has ever been blessed with such a favorable opportunity.
A Great Natural Order Color Spirit of 340 layers—looking across the entire Yanluo Kingdom, there are absolutely few who could rival it.
It is important to know.
A Great Natural Order Color Spirit, upon reaching the eighty-first layer, possesses the transcendent might of the Great Natural Order, a force like a tempest of nature!
If it reaches one hundred and eighty layers, it possesses the transformative might of the Great Natural Order, capable of manifesting as clouds, wind, or even lightning!
And if it reaches two hundred and seventy layers, then it holds the crushing might of the Great Natural Order. Legends say that every gesture and movement contains the terrifying power of nature's thunderous force.
Lü Tianze, who nine years ago only possessed a Great Natural Order Color Spirit of just over a hundred layers, dared to act arrogantly and domineeringly within the Yanluo Kingdom. Now, nine years later, with a full 340 layers of Great Natural Order Color Spirit, possessing the thunderous force of the Great Natural Order, coupled with his proud Great Sun Brightness Dharma Form, the terror of his strength leaves others far behind.
The facts are indeed so.
In these nine years, Lü Tianze has been utterly overbearing. Relying on the thunderous force of the Great Natural Order and his Great Sun Brightness Dharma Form, he has run rampant within the Yanluo Kingdom without restraint. Not to mention the false Earth Immortals of the Present-Ancient Era, even Earth Immortals from the Ancient Era would have to steer clear upon seeing him.
"It's Lü Tianze again."
Lü Tianze's reputation has been extremely prominent in the Yanluo Kingdom in recent years; it would not be an exaggeration to say everyone knows of him. Tang Manqing and the other two naturally knew of him. Not only did they know, but they had also heard many times about Lü Tianze bullying people everywhere and had even encountered him a few times.
Incidents like this—fights and brawls—happen frequently at the Yunchuan Garden Pavilion. Tang Manqing and the other two couldn't be bothered to pay attention at first. But after walking for a while, they noticed everyone was talking about this matter, and the entire pavilion seemed to be swarming toward the entrance to watch the spectacle. All three felt the situation might not be so simple.
"What happened at the pavilion entrance?"
The three randomly stopped someone to ask.
Whether it was Tang Manqing, Liu Yue, or Lin Xiang'er, they all enjoyed great fame within the Yanluo Kingdom; almost no one didn't recognize them.
The few young people stopped by them for questioning were indescribably excited. Not daring to hesitate, they quickly said, "Lady Manqing, Miss Xiang'er, Miss Liu Yue, this is what happened. We heard that some disciples from a sect called the Jade Void Sect from Tianzhao Country were throwing their weight around in the pavilion. Not only did they injure people, but they also said that our Yanluo Kingdom's so-called Fortune prodigies are all third-rate existences, utterly worthless in front of their Jade Void Sect."
Regarding Tianzhao Country, Tang Manqing and the other two were aware—it was a neighboring nation. As for the Jade Void Sect, they had also heard of it; it was said to be a top-tier, long-standing great sect within Tianzhao Country.
"At that time, the Immortal Court noble scion Lü Tianze was in the pavilion. After hearing about this, he took his people and gave the Jade Void Sect disciples a severe beating."
The young people seemed eager to impress the three goddesses, vying to speak first: "We heard the Jade Void Sect people were out on a training journey passing through our Yanluo Kingdom, with many experts accompanying them. And then, just now, a large group of Jade Void Sect elders, upon learning of this, all rushed over."
"Although the Jade Void Sect brought many experts, who is Lü Tianze?
He is an arrogant and domineering Immortal Court noble scion, possessing the Great Sun Brightness Dharma Form and a 340-layer thunderous Great Natural Order Color Spirit. How could he possibly fear some Jade Void Sect?"
"Exactly!
That blasted Jade Void Sect really doesn't know its place. Don't they see where this is? How dare they run wild in our Yanluo, saying our kingdom's Fortune prodigies are third-rate?
It's absolutely outrageous! After the news spread, our Yanluo Kingdom's Fortune prodigies are all rushing here."
"That's right. I heard Li Juncai from the Tai Chi Sect, who awakened the White Flame Treasure Body, Zhou Ting from the Crimson-Letter Sect's Juexin Branch who possesses the Lesser Mandate, and Qiao Yu from the Southern Dipper Sect who possesses the Tiger-Wolf Metamorphosis have all rushed here immediately."
"I heard that too. It seems they are currently fighting the Jade Void Sect experts to the death."
Tang Manqing, Liu Yue, and Lin Xiang'er exchanged glances. They had originally thought it was just an ordinary brawl, but they hadn't expected it to blow up so big. And those involved weren't just Lü Tianze, but also Li Juncai, Zhou Ting, and Qiao Yu. These individuals had all received unparalleled great fortunes when the Mandate descended, and their reputations in recent years had grown increasingly prominent, even overshadowing the so-called Yanluo Eighteen Young Masters. Moreover, they also shared a common trait: each was more arrogant and audacious than the last.
"Lü Tianze, Li Juncai, Qiao Yu, plus the Lesser Mandate Zhou Ting—if these few get together to stir up trouble, it definitely won't be small. Damn it, couldn't they fight somewhere else? Why does it have to be in the pavilion!"
This Yunchuan Garden Pavilion was the Black Buddha Lord's business.
And the Black Buddha Lord was the master whom Liu Yue respected most.
If it were an ordinary fight, she wouldn't bother worrying about it, because the Yunchuan Garden Pavilion had people arranged by the Black Buddha Lord to manage it. But now, with Lü Tianze and these others fighting the Jade Void Sect people from Tianzhao Country in the pavilion, Liu Yue couldn't possibly stand idly by.
"This is my master's pavilion. I can't let them run amok. I need to go take a look."
"I'll go with you."
Clearly, Tang Manqing and Lin Xiang'er also wanted to go see.
"Xiang'er, weren't you still going to perform?"
"No hurry, there's still time."
"Then let's go."
That night.
The moonlight was bright, the starlight brilliant.
The Yunchuan Garden Pavilion was even more ablaze with lights. The entire pavilion, large and small, had well over a million arrays. Each array emitted a faint, gentle glow, with multicolored, dazzling radiance that appeared particularly resplendent against the backdrop of the moonlit night.
The Yunchuan Garden Pavilion was bustling.
Especially at the pavilion entrance, it was already packed to capacity, with layers upon layers of people crowded together, watertight and impenetrable. These people all craned their necks, their expressions agitated, looking like spectators who relished the drama, shouting and clamoring for a fight.
"Fight!
Beat those Jade Void Sect old fools who don't know their place to death! Let's see if they still dare to be arrogant in our Yanluo!"
"Damn it!
How many people did the Jade Void Sect bring this time? Why so many experts?
And they all look like Ancient Era Earth Immortals!"
"Nonsense! When the Jade Void Sect goes out on a training journey, how could they have few accompanying experts?
Forget about the miscellaneous ones. I heard that among the Jade Void Sect's accompanying experts, there are over a hundred Earth Immortals alone, and most of them are Great Perfection Earth Immortals. There are even Spirit Origin Earth Immortals, Court Origin Earth Immortals, and quite a few Return Origin Earth Immortals. It's said the leaders even include several Loose Immortals."
