Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword

Zhou Heng finally returned to Wuyang Academy.

Accompanying him were Zhao Luoyan and Liu Yun'er, while the Comet Emperor's bodyguard Ying Yuhuai followed them, stooped with shadow-like closeness. This made Zhou Heng's back feel a bit chilled, considering if the lovesick Comet Emperor learned Zhao Luoyan had, no, rather Zhao Luoyan had reverse-pursued him, would he become so angry that he would chase after Zhou Heng with a sword?

Highly possible!

Hongyue is a gigantic deterrent to normal people, but lovesick people aren't much different from lunatics; they'll do many irrational things!

Zhou Heng isn't afraid of the Comet Emperor but isn't interested in an unnecessary battle with a Comet Emperor either. Therefore, he decided not to provoke this lovesick soul further.

After returning to Wuyang Academy, Zhou Heng arranged accommodations for the esteemed mother and daughter. In reality, after the death of the Great Demon Dragon Emperor, Zhao Luoyan and Liu Yun'er's status plummeted rapidly, and the halo above them was already wavering.

As such, even Lin Wuyue dared to propose an Empress remarry as a concubine, showing Zhao Luoyan's predicament at this moment.

But the Liu Family no longer had any experts, so to survive, they had to choose either Lin Wubing or Hongyue to rely on. Ultimately, Zhao Luoyan chose Hongyue, as she mentioned that Hongyue might be stronger and also because she saw potential in Zhou Heng.

Stellar Realm, Great Perfection!

This was known to everyone and destined that as long as Zhou Heng could grow smoothly, his future would be boundless!

This was hundreds of times stronger than the likes of Lin Xianyang and Lin Wuyue!

Zhao Luoyan was a decisive woman, and so she immediately acted, reverse-pursuing Zhou Heng and pushing their relationship to the most intimate level.

Zhou Heng never regretted things that had already happened; he focused on how to resolve them.

He didn't plan to take Zhao Luoyan into his harem. Since the woman was accustomed to being an Empress, she should continue doing so, just as she said—to be lovers, and meet when they want, taking their own paths when not.

As long as she didn't pursue other men, Zhou Heng didn't mind maintaining the relationship. But if Zhao Luoyan looked at another man, he wouldn't hesitate to turn and leave, forgetting this woman forever.

From his perspective, he had no right to dictate Zhao Luoyan's life but could decide his actions.

As for the proposal to marry Liu Yun'er, he didn't give it much thought.

Lin Wubing had already announced that he would have Liu Yun'er and Lin Xianyang wed in ten days, but Liu Yun'er and Zhao Luoyan chose to move to Wuyang Academy at this critical moment, causing an uproar in the entire Imperial Capital.

Although they lived in Wuyang Academy rather than the Zhou Family, everyone knew that Zhou Heng and Hongyue always stayed at Wuyang Academy. The radiance of a Black Cave Realm level expert had long overshadowed the academy's own glory.

Nowadays, whenever people mentioned Wuyang Academy, their first thought was Hongyue and Zhou Heng, which had become synonymous with it!

Thus, Liu Yun'er moving into Wuyang Academy was no different from moving into the Zhou Family!

The lecherous people immediately thought of Liu Yun'er as the most beautiful princess of the Empire, and her mother, the current Empress, was the most famous beauty of the past hundreds of thousands of years. No man who had seen her wouldn't be mesmerized!

It's said that at a state banquet, a bold king even proposed that he would be willing to submit to the Great Demon Dragon Emperor in exchange for Zhao Luoyan as his wife, leading to an inter-star domain war between the countries, ultimately costing that loose-tongued monarch his empire.

The allure of Zhao Luoyan was evident!

Now that the Great Demon Dragon Emperor is dead, who knows how many people covet this delicious fruit, now plucked and savored by Zhou Heng alone, causing countless men to feel envy, jealousy, and hatred!

If they knew that Zhou Heng was reverse-pursued, who knows how outrageously they would react.

However, the world isn't only filled with lecherous people; there are also many wise ones who notice a different significance in Liu Yun'er and Zhao Luoyan moving into Wuyang Academy.

Are two powerful Black Cave Realm experts about to confront each other?

What kind of sparks will they ignite, and what impact might it have on the world?

Lin Wubing's power is already widely known; a mighty Black Cave Sovereign, being one of only two men to reach this height on Hundred Dragons Star for billions of years! But what about Hongyue? Enigmatic and elusive, her strength can only be inferred indirectly.

But just driving away the White Bone Skeleton is strong, yet how strong exactly remains unknown?

The Black Cave Realm involves codes, with nine caves corresponding to the nine basic Heaven and Earth Laws; similarly, Black Cave Kings can vary as immensely as the sky and the earth based on their understanding of the grand path, unrelated to Spiritual Power.

Just like the White Bone Death Spirit, who has a deeper grasp of the Path of Death, easily slaying eleven Black Cave Kings, but perhaps Hongyue has just traveled farther down her path; up till now she might still be only a Black Cave King?

In fact, how many Black Cave Realm experts are there? Others can only guess based on their understanding, but who knows how much it deviates from reality?

Without reaching this realm, they're destined to remain narrow-sighted and engage in wild speculation.

Zhou Heng didn't engage in wild speculation; he purposely went to consult Hongyue, even though he was far from reaching this realm, he didn't mind being prepared beforehand.

"In the Comet Realm, one can make initial contact with runes, and runes are the embodiment of the Heaven and Earth Laws. Regardless of comprehension, the Comet Realm can borrow a portion of the Power of Heaven and Earth to exhibit battle power beyond one's Spiritual Power level!" Hongyue thought for a moment and began explaining in words Zhou Heng could understand.

"Upon reaching the pinnacle of the Comet Realm, one must choose their path and select one of the nine great paths to break through, forming a black hole that devours everything!"

"The path of Heaven and Earth is infinite, and the so-called Black Cave Realm is merely a preliminary grasp of one or two of these paths. If you force a quantification, you could divide the Black Cave King into ten steps, and completing these ten steps would reach the ultimate comprehension on this path in the Black Cave Realm!"

"Generally speaking, as long as you comprehend five steps, you can start forming a second black hole, and by analogy, it would be the Nine Caves True Monarch!"

"However, if you want to impact the Chaos Realm, you must advance all your understanding of each path to ten, then you can take it a step further!"

"The Chaos Realm is about further advancing in the understanding of the Great Path of Heaven and Earth. But the vastness of Heaven and Earth, I've been reincarnated countless times, and I still can't see the end. Even the master... Taixu Saint has only taken over nine hundred steps!"

"Saints may not have deeper comprehension in realms but, with the help of Heaven and Earth, can endlessly utilize the power of the universe to overwhelm all Chaos Realm! This is a gift from Heaven and Earth, unrelated to aptitude, unrelated to comprehension, unrelated to laws. To have it is luck!"

The road of the strong is so long, yet he hasn't even taken the first step!

Zhou Heng took a deep breath, his fighting spirit raging fiercely, he must be able to walk this path and travel far beyond.

"How many steps have you and Huo Tian taken?" He couldn't help but become curious. According to Hongyue, Lin Wubing has at least taken a five-step and another one-step path. The exact number even Lin Wubing himself probably does not know, as he is simply unaware of how long the road ahead is!

"If I really have to quantify it, I've taken about a thousand steps, and Huo Tian might be one or two steps ahead of me!" Hongyue thought for a moment and said seriously.

Zhou Heng immediately coughed.

Are these two women really that formidable?

Even the Taixu Saint has only taken more than nine hundred steps, and you two are more formidable than a Saint? Is there any justice?

But the Chaos Realm can still defeat a Saint, even if one has a deeper understanding of the Heaven and Earth Laws, it's useless!

In fact, laws are power, and power is laws. There's no need to distinguish them so clearly!

A Saint may not surpass a Chaos Realm in laws, but since they can wield more power from Heaven and Earth, they can completely make up for the shortcomings in laws and crush the Chaos Realm!

What about himself?

Zhou Heng's thoughts whirled. He had reached the Super Grand Perfection level, meaning his superiority in comprehension, and after the Comet Realm, comprehension will gradually evolve into the Power of Laws.

This means that in the future, his grasp of laws will far exceed that of an average Chaos Realm!

If Hongyue and Huo Tian's limit is a thousand steps, then his might be two thousand or even three thousand steps!

Laws are power!

When his mastery of laws absolutely surpasses, it can also compensate for the lack of power, allowing him to match a Saint!

This is an alternative path to Sainthood!

Zhou Heng thought so, but no one has ever walked this path before, and whether it truly is so, he had no assurance!

But Hongyue strongly agreed with his guess, because the Five Great Saints all had such conjectures. However, in the history, only those who reached Grand Perfection, even Saints, are the same; what allows the Chaos Realm to catch up or even surpass Saints?

This has always existed only in theory, until the appearance of Zhou Heng!

"Young man, you now have the qualification to stir my heart a little, keep working hard!" Hongyue patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder to show encouragement, her fragrant scent drifted, and a strand of hair brushed across Zhou Heng's cheek, like the gentle little hands of a lover.

Zhou Heng couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart. In comparison, Zhao Luoyan, although stunningly beautiful, was still no match for Hongyue!

A trap, don't fall into it!

Zhou Heng told himself that if he tangled with Hongyue as well, it would be awkward when dealing with Huo Tian.

Huo Tian, a Peerless Heavenly Maiden, and Hongyue, a Peerless Beauty Witch, only one exists in the world, each capable of capturing any man's heart. His heart is just that of a mortal, truly unable to hold on for too long!

Huo Tian still holds the most important place in Zhou Heng's heart, yet with each passing day, the weight of Hongyue's influence continues to grow, and one day, the two women will weigh equally!

Zhou Heng sighed, unwilling to think too much, when the boat gets to the bridge, it will go straight, let it be as it will be!

He began to look forward to the Lin Family's response, would they aggressively come knocking, or would they swallow their anger and pretend not to know?

The wedding day of Liu Yun'er and Lin Xianyang was only nine days away; what would the Lin Family do? (To be continued.
