"You must obey the rules of Tianding Realm after entering. Remember, the first thing you have to do is bathe and fast for 15 days to remove the impure Qi from you and not spoil the pure Qi of Tianding Realm," the martialist responsible for inspecting those entering Tianding Realm said in disgust.

Although most of the martialists put on a smile while entering Tianding Realm, some of them were also very angry but didn't dare say anything.

"This is too much. Why isn't there a fasting period for people entering our 36 Great Cosmoses then? Now that we've arrived, the check is really strict and we also need to fast. This is really…"

A young martialist was speaking angrily.

"Brother, remember what we are here for. We are here to make a fortune, so don't get into trouble with the people of Tianding Realm."

"If they want to check you, let them check you. If they want us to fast, then we'll fast. They are the big shots here, aren't they?" a round, unctuous middle-aged man said with a smile.

The young man scoffed, "I will definitely suggest to the Imperial Court to make those that enter our 36 Great Cosmoses fast as well."

"Young brother, don't get angry. It's useless to do so. I'm afraid you don't know this, but people in Tianding Realm don't even bother going to our 36 Great Cosmoses."

The unctuous fat man smiled and added, "Just look at what's going on here in Tianding Realm. All the things they require…"

As the two men were talking, a somber, desolate intent swept over from afar. The soldiers from Tianding Realm who were performing the inspection suddenly turned pale.

At the same time, a shadow rose into the sky.

It was an early-stage Tais.h.i.+ Yuan Venerate martialist. He was the guardian of this particular channel and was usually training in seclusion.

He began to give off this aura the moment he appeared. Naturally, this was supposed to tell people that his channel wasn't easy to go through.

However, there was a solemn look in his eyes when he saw the mighty group. After all, he was aware of the ident.i.ty of the person arriving upon sensing his aura.

"The Human Ruler is here!"

No one throughout Tianding Realm took Luo Yunyang seriously, as they felt that the Human Ruler was the Human Ruler of the 36 Great Cosmoses and not the Human Ruler of Tianding Realm.

Although the Human Ruler was strong, he could not do anything to them.

After mulling this over for a split moment, that Tais.h.i.+ Yuan Venerate hurriedly contacted Dongfang Jianming. After all, he did not have the capacity to make decisions about such situations.

Dongfang Jianming immediately understood the reason for Luo Yunyang's arrival upon receiving the report.

After pondering it a little, he said seriously, "There are rules in Tianding Realm. Now that the rules have been set, just follow them. I believe His Majesty the Human Ruler will certainly agree that subordinates like you should adhere to the rules of Tianding Realm."

That Tais.h.i.+ Yuan Venerate started cursing Dongfang Jianming inwardly after hearing his reply. Dongfang Jianming was simply asking to die.

Adhere to the rules? d.a.m.n the rules. This is the Human Ruler. I wouldn't have reported this to Dongfang Jianming if I'd known that he would reply like that.

As he mulled this over, Dongfang Jianming's voice spoke again through the communication device. "I believe that you will not disappoint the whole Tianding Realm."

Although that Tais.h.i.+ Yuan Venerate was deeply furious, he also knew that there was no room for backing down.

He only had two options. One of his options was to stop Luo Yunyang and thus offend the Human Ruler, and the second option was not to stop Luo Yunyang and thus offend Dongfang Jianming.

He probably wouldn't be able to stay in Tianding Realm in the future.

He made a decision despite being in a dilemma and chose the lesser of two evils. Although the Human Ruler's position was much higher than that of Dongfang Jianming, the Human Ruler could command Tianding Realm, where he still had to live.

Hence, when Luo Yunyang's carriage was still 10 miles away from the entrance to the pa.s.sageway, he lowered his tone and said, "Who is it? Do you have official travel doc.u.ments?"

Official travel doc.u.ments were a certification issued by Tianding Realm. Only those who had official travel doc.u.ments could enter Tianding Realm.

Yuan Venerate White Crane and the others had followed Luo Yunyang to enter Tianding Realm. Upon hearing what that Tais.h.i.+ Yuan Venerate shouted, they all frowned at the same time.

He immediately stepped forward and said, "I'm Yuan Venerate White Crane of the Human Ruler's Imperial Court. This is the chariot of His Majesty the Human Ruler, so give way."

"Yuan Venerate White Crane, please forgive me. I was ordered not to allow anyone to enter Tianding Realm without official doc.u.ments." Although the Tais.h.i.+ Yuan Venerate wanted to let Luo Yunyang pa.s.s, he did not dare offend Dongfang Jianming.

After all, he still had to survive by working under Dongfang Jianming.

Yuan Venerate White Crane looked at the Tais.h.i.+ Yuan Venerate, who was full of smiles yet did not want to step aside, and understood the situation immediately. He knew that he shouldn't cower and retreat now, or Luo Yunyang, who was the Human Ruler, would become a laughing stock.

However, as he was preparing to explain to the Tais.h.i.+ Yuan Venerate the situation once again, Luo Yunyang's instruction echoed in his ears.

"Beat the c.r.a.p out of him!"

Although Yuan Venerate White Crane knew Luo Yunyang hadn't come to Tianding Realm with good intentions, beating the c.r.a.p out of the guards still made him feel very shocked.

However, he was only shocked for a moment, as he already knew what had happened to the Human Race's Divine Ancestor. Thus, Yuan Venerate White Crane slapped the face of that Tais.h.i.+ Yuan Venerate with a resounding sound.

Although the Tais.h.i.+ Yuan Venerate's cultivation was not weak, he couldn't dodge the slap at all.

It could even be said that he didn't have any means of retaliating after Yuan Venerate White Crane's slap. Right after that Tais.h.i.+ Yuan Venerate was slapped, Luo Yunyang's chariot continued to move toward the pa.s.sage.

"Someone broke into Tianding Realm. Quick, pa.s.s on the message!" Some martialists from Tianding Realm behaved very calmly and shouted loudly to their companions.

At that call of distress, someone quickly pressed the b.u.t.ton beside him.

Yuan Venerate White Crane and the others could stop the b.u.t.ton from being pressed but they were instructed by Luo Yunyang to ignore it if they wanted to take action.

Tianding Realm and the channels of the 36 Great Cosmoses were also very important to the Heavenly Court. Furthermore, Dongfang Jianming decided to focus after receiving the news of Luo Yunyang's arrival.

Thus, Dongfang Jianming heard about this almost in an instant. When he saw Luo Yunyang's chariot driving straight into Tianding Realm, he immediately thundered, "The audacity! Tianding Realm is not a place where he can act wantonly! Come with me. Let's go and give a friendly reminder to His Majesty the Human Ruler!"

"Brother Jianming, now that the six Heavenly Rulers are not here, there is nothing we can do about Luo Yunyang. I'm afraid we'll just humiliate ourselves if we go over!" a man standing next to Dongfang Jianming said.

Dongfang Jianming glanced at the man and then said coldly, "What do you know about that? Although the six Heavenly Rulers are not present, they gave me the controlling module of the Nine Cauldron Great Array when they left."

"I can take over the Nine Cauldron Training Ground and the power of the Set Sky Nine Cauldrons as long as I conjure the controlling array."

"Although I don't think that I can kill Luo Yunyang, trapping him should be a piece of cake. When the Heavenly Rulers return, we will hand over Luo Yunyang to the Heavenly Rulers, which will be a great, meritorious deed on our part. "

The person who spoke sighed in relief as he saw Dongfang Jianming bringing out the control module, which looked like a plate. After all, he had been defeated by Luo Yunyang so he was a little afraid of going up against him again.

Now, with the control module and the help of the Set Sky Nine Cauldrons, he could finally act with some confidence.

"Let's go. This time, we must teach Luo Yunyang a lesson and let him know that the Human Ruler is useless here."

Because of the Set Sky Nine Cauldrons, the martialists left behind to guard Tianding Realm were all in high spirits. In a quarter of an hour, they rushed over like a whirlwind in front of Luo Yunyang's chariot.

"Your Majesty, you broke into Tianding Realm without permission. According to the commandments of the Heavenly Court in Tianding Realm, we have to suppress Your Majesty on Repentance Cliff. I wonder if Your Majesty would like to head over by himself or let me do the honors."

Dongfang Jianming stood in front of everyone like a deity in charge of meting out punishment.

Luo Yunyang walked out of the chariot and stared at Dongfang Jianming, who acted as though he was going to devour Luo Yunyang. How could Luo Yunyang not understand what he was thinking? However, the sole reason Luo Yunyang had come was to take Dongfang Jianming's head in order to set an example for the martialists of Tianding Realm and make sure they would not interfere with his actions in the future.

"The six Heavenly Rulers are my subordinates. Do you think their orders apply to me?" Luo Yunyang said indifferently.

Dongfang Jianming's face turned black as soon as this was said. He then growled, "Your Majesty, I am not here to tell you who your subordinates are. I just wanted to inform you of the commands of the Heavenly Court. Since Your Majesty has said so, don't blame me for not playing nice."

As he said that, Dongfang Jianming formed a series of hand seals quickly and traces of light shot toward the array's control module.

Luo Yunyang immediately understood that the controlling module had to be connected to the Set Sky Nine Cauldrons of the Nine Cauldron Training Ground. Although it was very powerful, this type of array was also very useless given the current situation.

Hence, he didn't stop Dongfang Jianming. Instead, he watched Dongfang Jianming conjuring a series of hand seals while smiling expectantly, as though he was waiting patiently for Dongfang Jianming to finish executing his technique.

Even Dongfang Jianming was feeling weak when the final hand seal was completed. However, he had to remain calm, as the greater the power needed from him, the stronger the power borrowed from the Set Sky Nine Cauldrons would be!
