Jian Chen learned that the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor was persistent in hunting him due to a treasure he possessed and his connection to the Heavenly Star Palace. The pavilion master also revealed that Daowei Huanru, an ally, might know about Jian Chen's secret but has kept it hidden. Meanwhile, Daowei Huanru's strength has dramatically increased, reaching the Ninth Heavenly Layer.

“Hmm,” Jian Chen mused inwardly. He possessed means to contend with the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor, yet he was hesitant to involve others unless absolutely necessary, as he wished to avoid accumulating too many debts.

He felt that repaying excessive favors in the future would prove to be a significant burden.

“…” At first, an idea struck Jian Chen, but he quickly dismissed it with a shake of his head.

Contemplating an assault on the Immortal Feather Sect seemed far too perilous. That place served as the primary stronghold for a heavenly court, undoubtedly protected by a Grand Exalt’s formation. Furthermore, besides the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor, the sect harbored other late Immortal Exalts, making them far more formidable than initially perceived.

“…”

Regardless of his contemplation, Jian Chen found himself unable to devise a suitable strategy. After all, his opponent was not merely a regular Immortal Exalt but a heavenly emperor, a being at the zenith of power, whose capabilities were immense and could achieve the unimaginable. Deceiving such individuals would not be simple.

At the very least, he, who was not even an Immortal Exalt, would be insignificant in their eyes and unable to fool them.

“Fine,” Jian Chen gritted his teeth, deciding to bide his time and wait out the Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor.

Subsequently, Jian Chen informed the innkeeper of his intention to enter secluded cultivation before retiring to his room. To minimize any possibility of being detected, he resolved to avoid venturing out as much as possible.

The Soaring Immortal Heavenly Emperor would be powerless against him even if Jian Chen were discovered within Observance Heaven City.

However, he acknowledged that once an expert of that caliber fixed their gaze upon him, escaping would become virtually impossible, effectively trapping him in Observance Heaven City indefinitely.

“…”

“…”

“…” Jian Chen calculated his options.

Although he had mastered over a dozen laws, they were too numerous to effectively wield. Currently, only the Laws of the Sword and the Laws of Space proved genuinely useful to him.

Then, with a subtle movement of his hand, Jian Chen produced a jade disc.

The disc appeared unremarkable, emitting no discernible energy fluctuations. It seemed like an ordinary object, giving no indication of its true nature to a casual observer.

Yet, as Jian Chen held the jade disc, his demeanor grew solemn, as if he were cradling a priceless treasure. A flicker of intense fervor even ignited in the depths of his eyes.

This jade disc had been acquired by chance during his comprehension of the Hundred Superimposition Sword within the Skyscraping World.

He had now ascertained that the jade disc originated from the Hole of Reincarnation. The Hundred Superimposition Sword, which the Skyscraping Sword Venerable had comprehended, also stemmed from this very jade disc.

In essence, the jade disc in his possession served as the method for transmitting the Hundred Superimposition Sword.

“Ah,” Jian Chen mused. The Hole of Reincarnation, an entity shrouded in mystery and the unknown throughout the ages, only began to be recognized for its wonders in the Immortals’ World after Daowei Chengqing’s emergence.

This recognition was spurred by Daowei Chengqing’s retrieval of two artifacts from the Hole of Reincarnation: the Book of the Populace and the Dominion’s Brush. These artifacts were instrumental in the rise of two supreme experts, Daowei Fatian and Fang Jing.

Daowei Fatian had ascended to the level of Grand Exalt, a true evolution, thanks to the Book of the Populace.

Similarly, Fang Jing had become a formidable existence surpassing even heavenly emperors through the power bestowed by the Dominion’s Brush.

In the past, heavenly emperors occupied the apex of power, second only to Grand Exalts. However, this established hierarchy had been significantly disrupted. Fang Jing’s existence now bridged the gap between heavenly emperors and Grand Exalts.

Furthermore, Daowei Chengqing’s three attendants, who had previously shown no remarkable abilities, had astonishingly ascended to become late Immortal Exalts within an incredibly short timeframe, a feat that even unprecedented prodigies could only aspire to.

All these extraordinary advancements were attributed to the Hole of Reincarnation.

Seated on his bed, Jian Chen took a deep breath, banishing all extraneous thoughts. He focused his mind and began to immerse himself in comprehending the jade disc.

The moment his consciousness made contact with the jade disc, an ancient and profound aura emanated forth. This aura presented itself in two distinct forms: one was the intrinsic presence of the Hole of Reincarnation, and the other was a power imbued with the profound secrets of the Hundred Superimposition Sword.

The process of comprehending the Hundred Superimposition Sword through the jade disc was markedly different from deciphering the inscription left behind by the Skyscraping Sword Venerable in the Skyscraping World.

The Hundred Superimposition Sword, meticulously crafted by the Skyscraping Sword Venerable, was a unique amalgamation of his personal Dao and profound techniques. It encompassed solely the Skyscraping Sword Venerable's individual insights. Conversely, deciphering the Hundred Superimposition Sword via the jade disc offered a singular, unadulterated strand of presence, a presence brimming with the intrinsic marvels of the Dao. Yet, Jian Chen had already perceived that only the Hundred Superimposition Sword understood through the jade disc in his possession would represent the purest form. Should fortune favor him, he might attain mastery over all one hundred layers. On the other hand, treading the Skyscraping Sword Venerable's established path meant his life's endeavors would likely never transcend the pinnacle the Skyscraping Sword Venerable himself had achieved. Before awareness fully returned, Jian Chen had already slipped into a state of near unconsciousness. He was utterly immersed in the breathtaking realm of the Hundred Superimposition Sword. The enigmatic presence emanating from the jade disc acted as a conduit, drawing Jian Chen into this extraordinary condition. Within this state, Jian Chen felt as though he had stepped into an unfamiliar dimension. This world lacked any discernible landscape, devoid of time, space, or even celestial bodies. It was characterized solely by an immensely deep and ineffable law. This particular law deviated from those he normally encountered and grasped. It seemed imbued with a colossal might, originating from the very genesis of the universe. Through this immense power, Jian Chen discerned the inherent form of the Hundred Superimposition Sword and its closely guarded secrets.
