Half an hour later.

In the empty main burial chamber.

The Heavenly Emperor’s Coffin glowed and trembled slightly.

A mysterious and profound aura spread out, seemingly connecting to a location in the unseen world.

Above the island, countless points of light converged, forming a large portal.

“Is this… the ancient celestial ruler’s inheritance heavenly realm?” Lu Xuan, who had just come out of the relic and was about to board a ship to leave, looked up at the sky.

Invited by Yushou An, Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu were preparing to visit the merman nation.

Yushou An was assimilating the Sea Spirit Pearl. His guard stepped forward and respectfully asked, “Senior, should we leave or stay?”

Lu Xuan pondered, “The emergence of a Heavenly Emperor’s heavenly realm is a rare event in ten thousand years. We might as well stay and watch. Of course, you can leave first, and later…”

“How could we do that?!” The guard decisively interrupted, “Since Senior is a guest invited by our young master, if Senior wishes to watch, we will wait here with you.”

As they spoke, a black warship appeared on the distant sea, entering everyone’s view.

The ship was large, with a dark red flag flapping on its mast.

Thousands of pirates, with short knives at their waists, howled continuously. A warrior in black armor stood at the bow, wielding a dark spear and radiating an undisguised ferocious aura.

Seeing this, the mermen guards tensed up.

As a member of a Sea Tribe, he was well aware of the existence of sea pirates. They worshipped the immortal Ancestor of Longevity, lived on ships, drifted across the sea, and often raided the land when in need of supplies.

These pirates, all cultivators with their own treasure ships, were a law unto themselves, even beyond the reach of government forces.

The merman nation, located deep under the sea and protected by special defenses, had never been disturbed by these pirates.

However, these mermen guards, who often secretly followed Yushou An on land, was familiar with some island lords who had been robbed by the pirates.

“No need to worry. Protect your young master. I’ll handle these pirates, ” Lu Xuan said.

The guards felt reassured by Lu Xuan’s words.

Lu Xuan approached Cheng Lingzhu, pointing to the swiftly approaching warship, “I’ll take care of the leader. You handle the minions.”

This was a phrase she often used when she took him on adventures.

However, there were over three thousand pirates on the ship, and all were cultivators, including more than a dozen at the Golden Core stage.

Given Cheng Lingzhu’s current cultivation level, if she didn’t use the Ancestral Spirit Descent technique, she couldn’t achieve the feat of “One Sword Breaks Armor, Two Thousand Six” against such a group of cultivators. Lu Xuan then produced an item.

It was the “Chaos Quelling Shuttle” from the School of Law.

This was a gift from his beloved disciple, Su Yuan, before leaving the Great Yan Dynasty.

“Are you really using this thing?” Cheng Lingzhu was doubtful, recalling the bizarre descriptions of the Chaos Quelling Shuttle.

It didn’t seem like a typical artifact for combat.

“I’m just trying it out,” Lu Xuan suggested with a smile.

As they conversed, the warship was drawing near.

Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu used a transportation technique to leap from the merman ship and landed at the bow of the pirate ship.

“Attack!” Without further conversation, the black-armored leader brandished his spear.

The three thousand sea pirates on the ship charged all at once.

Dressed as pirates, they carried a heavy aura of bloodlust and iron, moving in well-coordinated, uniform actions.

Cheng Lingzhu silently took out the Chaos Quelling Shuttle and threw it forward—

The pirates at the forefront reacted swiftly, forming an array to counter the incoming “hidden weapon.”

Unexpectedly, the shuttle didn’t head towards them but flew overhead in a curved trajectory.

On the deck, every pirate in the shuttle’s path felt a certain rule descend upon them.

As if controlled by someone, the pirates immediately dropped their weapons, adjusted their skewed hats, and lay down on the deck, utterly bewildered.

The pirates charging behind were confused, but soon, they couldn’t wonder anymore as the Chaos Quelling Shuttle flew over them, causing them to lie down just like their comrades.

The black-armored leader was perplexed.

He had barely shouted “attack” when his men fell like dominoes, leaving only a few pirates standing besides himself.

The scene suddenly turned quiet and awkward.

Even the lying pirates were able to communicate— “Big Niu, can you move a bit?”

“I can’t move, there’s… some kind of sorcery here!”

“Your butt is in my face, and you’re so skinny, your bones are poking me…”

“Aren’t I lying face down? Uh… there shouldn’t be any bones.”

“Damn! I’m gonna kill you!”

The Chaos Quelling Shuttle, a relic from the ancient School of Law.

In his youth, the Saint of Confucianism often carried two swords at his waist, one named “Benevolence” and the other “Propriety.”

After the Saint of Law achieved enlightenment, he carried two heavy rulers on his back, one named “Regulation” and the other “Measure.”

The School of Law bound itself and others with rules and regulations, believing that everything in the world is governed by these principles.

In the past, after the Saint of Law’s lectures, disciples often engaged in heated debates.

This “battle of wits” frequently escalated into a literal battle when ideologies couldn’t persuade the opposition. It was then that physical means were used to help the other party understand one’s point of view.

The Saint of Law found this troubling, suspecting that spies from the neighboring Confucian school had infiltrated his disciples.

To maintain order, he developed the art of “Chaos Quelling,” making brawling disciples lie down, unable to move.

This not only quelled the disputes but also attracted other disciples to gather around the fallen ones for discussion and critique.

Under such a socially mortifying risk, the Law disciples became much more peaceful during debates.

The Chaos Quelling Shuttle was developed based on this concept.

The shuttle thrown by Cheng Lingzhu did not travel in a straight line but made several circles in the air.

Its effect was widespread, impacting most of the pirates, who couldn’t break free from its rule in the short term due to their cultivation levels.

A few unaffected pirates charged with weapons, but Cheng Lingzhu fearlessly drew her sword to meet them in battle.

The black-armored leader narrowed his eyes.

He realized that the shuttle carried a certain force of law.

However, it didn’t matter. These two intruders were doomed to die, and the peculiar shuttle’s law couldn’t affect him.

He focused on the young man not far away.

Standing still, the leader hurled his great spear, aiming to pierce Lu Xuan’s heart!

Lu Xuan, watching the opponent, raised his fist..
