Lin Yi's overwhelming strength quickly defeated two senior disciples of the Eight Mansions, causing widespread fear. The sect leaders, seeking to regain face and continue their plans, invited Lin Yi to a secret meeting. During the meeting, they attempted to coerce and lure him with cultivation techniques. However, Lin Yi saw through their intentions and, using his powers, froze the leaders and shattered their barrier.

To preserve their lives, the sect leaders from the eight provinces of Yunzhou reluctantly accepted Lin Yi’s demands—to reconstruct the Dubhe Pavilion utilizing the full resources of all eight provinces.

At the martial arts competition venue, the eight sect leaders, rigid as frozen figurines, made this vow before everyone present, their bodies trembling.

Lin Yi demonstrated his undeniable strength by decisively subduing the prepared sect leaders of the eight provinces.

As a disciple of the Dubhe Pavilion who achieved such a feat, the continuation of the Dubhe Pavilion’s existence was surely warranted.

However, Lin Yi’s actions stirred discontent among the esteemed guests from the other three continents.

Despite internal conflicts among the four continents of Xiang Wuxing, they recognized the necessity of unity when faced with external challenges.

The martial arts competition in Yunzhou served a dual purpose.

The primary objective was to assert dominance over the Dubhe Pavilion, compelling them to relinquish the [Dubhe Strange Scripture] without reservation.

The secondary aim was to identify, through martial prowess, the most exceptional disciple from the eight provinces. This chosen individual’s sect would then supplant the Dubhe Pavilion as the sole guardian of a continent, assisting the other triumvirate pavilions in the governance of Xiang Wuxing under the Martial Emperor.

"Young one, have you not stirred up enough turmoil?"

"We have all witnessed your formidable power. You have proven yourself. With your caliber and might, you could easily secure endorsements from our three great pavilions, follow His Majesty the Martial Emperor in your cultivation journey, and perhaps even ascend to become the next Martial Emperor. Why demean yourself by remaining a disciple of the Dubhe Pavilion?"

Observing the utterly vanquished sect leaders of the eight provinces, the elder from the Chixiao Pavilion, his hair the color of fire, could no longer mask his evident displeasure.

Yet, as a mere elder of the Chixiao Pavilion, he lacked the authority to overturn the unified decision of the three pavilions—to designate a replacement sect from the eight provinces for the Dubhe Pavilion, to bring it under control, and to seize the Dubhe Pavilion’s ancestral cultivation techniques.

Consequently, he felt compelled to step forward, managing a strained smile to ease the predicament for the eight provinces of Yunzhou.

"Indeed, young friend, your might even eclipses that of our three esteemed pavilion elders. You merely need to..."

Three continents and three pavilions? What standing did they possess to presume such authority?

Each era dictates its own course.

It was clear that the era of Xiang Wuxing represented a zenith in humanity’s intellectual advancement throughout Blue Star’s recorded history.

How could Lin Yi, existing outside this temporal context, command the power characteristic of this particular age?

Having perceived the inherent constraints within Xiang Wuxing, Lin Yi had resolved his course of action.

He would cease concealing his true strength, proceeding directly to seize the Star Core Fragments of Xiang Wuxing and its unique endowments in the most direct manner possible.

"Do you possess the final say in what I desire?"

The Void Law, capable of nullifying all, manifested as a colossal hand, reaching out towards the second elder of the three pavilions who had spoken.

The three pavilion elders were all paramount existences in this world, wielding the Power of Law far exceeding the Harmonization Layer, earning them the title of gods.

To attempt their swift defeat using Supreme Law was an evident overreach.

A chilling aura emanated from the elder of the Ice Frost Pavilion, solidifying into a force that confronted the swirling, pitch-black giant hand.

In the subsequent instant, the slightly superior Eternal Power utterly encapsulated the hand conjured by the Void Law, freezing it.

With a mere flick of Elder Frost Freeze’s fingers, the colossal hand summoned by Lin Yi fractured into countless ice fragments.

"Oh, not bad, the Heaven-Destroying Evil Hand? A relic from the Yellow Springs Pavilion? It’s no wonder you could overpower the sect leaders of Yunzhou’s eight provinces. Such might is understandable, but today, you have crossed paths with an old man!"

"This old man, though perhaps lacking in other skills, has in his twilight years mastered the ultimate ice power that seals the heavens and freezes the earth—the perfect counter to your Heaven-Destroying Evil Hand!"

"This old man..."

Pa~

A sharp, resonant slap echoed across the face of Elder Frost Freeze.

Unseen by anyone, as time seemed to stand still, Lin Yi had already materialized before him.

Bolstered by Divine Power, Lin Yi had become entirely impervious to the influence of the near-Saint Transformation Layer Eternal Power. Consequently, when Lin Yi unleashed his full speed, Elder Frost Freeze found himself unable to react a second time.

A single, decisive slap, imbued with destructive force, landed accurately, breaching a portion of the Eternal Law’s defenses and striking Elder Frost Freeze’s head with tremendous impact.

In a mere moment, Elder Frost Freeze lost consciousness completely, and the pervasive chill he had brought upon the world silently dissipated.

Witnessing Elder Frost Freeze, sprawled on the ground like a defeated dog, Lin Yi couldn't resist a taunt.

"You're already this ancient, yet you still put on airs of youth and arrogance? Such insignificant Supreme Law, how dare you act so presumptuously before me, Lin Yi."

The spectators found their gossiping interests suddenly dulled.

Within Xiang Wuxing, the name Yellow Springs Pavilion remnant wasn't an unknown whisper.

Centuries prior, Yellow Springs Pavilion stood as the preeminent force among the four pavilions, its might so overwhelming that the other three combined couldn't match it.

Perhaps their mastery of Void Power was perceived as too akin to dark arts, or maybe their overwhelming strength cast too large a shadow, leading the other three pavilions to unite against them. Ultimately, Yellow Springs Pavilion could not escape its fated annihilation.

However, Lin Yi remained indifferent to Xiang Wuxing's historical tapestry.

His sole focus was on fulfilling his sworn commitments.

The populace and cultivators of Xiang Wuxing struggled to fully grasp Lin Yi's declarations.

Yet, the sheer power Lin Yi exhibited was more than enough to silence any lofty pronouncements.

Elder Frost Freeze, a formidable expert hailed as a nascent deity, possessed the ability to command the Frost God of all Xiang Wuxing.

Such immense power, and yet he couldn't withstand a single blow from Lin Yi?

Then, what unfathomable might did this Lin Yi wield? If Elder Frost Freeze was considered a deity, what title should Lin Yi be given?

Could he truly be a peerless being on par with the Martial Emperor?

This astonishing display sent shivers down Red Hair's spine, filling him with immense gratitude. "Thank goodness I didn't act rashly earlier; otherwise, I would be the one disgraced."

With Source Power swirling in his grasp, a destructive power nearing the Saint Transformation Layer danced in Red Hair's hands, resembling vibrant, blazing embers.

Having learned a harsh lesson from Elder Frost Freeze, Red Hair decided to deploy his ultimate technique from the outset, aiming to preserve his dignity.

His plan was to obliterate Lin Yi's head with his signature skill, the [Heaven-Shattering Destruction Fist].

The moment his power charge reached its peak, Red Hair intended to finish off Lin Yi without delay. But who could have foreseen that before he could even take a step, Lin Yi would seemingly step on lightning, instantly appearing before him.

"What, afraid to face me directly and planning a sneaky rear attack? Heaven-Shattering Destruction Fist, quite a boastful name. I wonder just how formidable it truly is."

A faint, almost sinister smile touched Lin Yi's handsome features.

In the next instant, a powerful hand clamped down onto Red Hair's fist, which was already wreathed in palpable Destruction Power.

"Is this brat truly unconcerned about his own life?"

That was Elder Red Hair's most prized technique, capable of unleashing a truly invincible and terrifying fist! And this brat, Lin Yi, had simply grabbed it. Did he no longer require his hand? Truly, that level of audacity was remarkable.

Xiang Wuxing possessed a limited understanding of the Laws.

They had grown accustomed to attributing the effects of Laws to the inherent characteristics of various techniques.

As for the Power of the Primordial, which transcended the Supreme Law, it remained an even more incomprehensible mystery.
