Chapter 214

Chapter 214 Completed

“You have some sense.”

Chen Ansheng was satisfied with this outcome, yet he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, his master truly was amazing.

If it weren’t for him passing on the Theft of Heaven technique, he wouldn’t know how long he would be suppressed by this controlling spirit.

Now, having used the Theft of Heaven technique to break free from the realm’s laws, even if he was only at the True Immortal realm, that controlling spirit couldn’t do anything to him.

Why?

Because he was no longer subject to the laws; what use was that spirit?

Moreover, this spirit realm was just a small world. With all his strength, Chen Ansheng could sever all the threads of laws, causing the spirit realm to collapse, and naturally, that controlling spirit would dissipate along with it.

Was it afraid?

Of course, it was.

“Friend, please come over for a chat.”

At this point, the controlling spirit stopped pretending to be aloof and offered a respectful message.

“Now, this is more like it.”

Chen Ansheng smirked.

Immediately, a vortex formed in the space in front of him, and Chen Ansheng stepped inside.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in a starry sky where an enormous vine stretched across the endless void.

At the tip of the vine’s leaves was a thatched cottage.

With a thought, Chen Ansheng’s figure landed in front of the cottage.

“Greetings, friend.”

In front of the cottage, a white-haired phantom awaited him.

“You are the controlling spirit?”

Chen Ansheng glanced at him calmly.

“Indeed.” The old man nodded.

Chen Ansheng didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “I like this space very much. How can I control it?”

The old man replied, “Whether you can control this world depends on your own abilities.”

“Hmm?” Chen Ansheng’s expression darkened. “You’re still daring to stall? Are you tired of living? Hurry up and hand over the control!”

The old man trembled slightly and quickly said, “Immortal, please do not be angry. How could I dare to delay you? Allow me to explain slowly.”

“Slowly explain what? Hurry up!” Chen Ansheng said impatiently.

“Yes, yes, yes.”

The old man nodded and began to elaborate.

According to the old man, this realm was a special cultivation plane beneath the Immortal Realm billions of years ago, where its strongest beings could even reach the Immortal King realm without ascending!

The reason for this, the controlling spirit—who was the old man in the phantom—did not know.

Later, a tremendous racial war broke out in the Immortal Realm, and during the shattering of the void, it accidentally severed the laws connecting this plane, causing it to drift into the unknown universe.

The beings of this realm underwent one cycle after another of annihilation and rebirth, ultimately evolving into its current state.

Initially, the inherent laws of this realm either perished or were compressed into clusters, forming so-called forbidden zones and spirit realms.

This spirit realm originated from that.

Finally, the old man said that to become the true ruler of the spirit realm, one had to refine it into a small world within oneself.

“So that means I have to absorb this spirit realm into my body?”

“Precisely.”

Chen Ansheng furrowed his brows. “Nonsense. If I need to refine it to gain control, why bother with this so-called assessment? Those so-called emperors and prodigies—how could they have the ability to refine this spirit realm!”

The old man hurriedly said, “Everything I say is true! As long as your comprehension and chance are sufficient, you can communicate with and accommodate the laws of the spirit realm, and then you can refine it.”

Chen Ansheng squinted his eyes. “Oh? Then how do you see my comprehension and chance?”

The old man chuckled awkwardly and said, “Immortal, don’t joke. You possess great divine abilities, transcending the laws, coming and going freely; what comprehension and chance are required in your presence? I shall send you to the source of this realm’s laws. I believe within a hundred years, you will be able to refine this realm.”

“You have some sense.” Chen Ansheng clicked his tongue. “However, I still prefer your rebellious and aloof demeanor.”

“How could I dare?” The old man trembled, and then a colorful orb of light floated in the starry sky. “Immortal, please.”

Chen Ansheng sensed it and found that the orb contained endless chaotic laws; that must be the so-called source of the laws.

Then, Chen Ansheng stepped forward towards the orb.

He wasn’t afraid that the controlling spirit would do anything sinister, after all, he had already transcended and could come and go as he pleased. If worse came to worst, he still had the Cross-Border Stone.

When Chen Ansheng’s figure merged into the orb, he saw the origins of countless law threads.

“Got it.”

Chen Ansheng grinned.

As long as he drew these sources of laws to his body, he would become the origin of this small world, naturally becoming the ruler.

Sitting cross-legged, his mental strength began to guide.

The first thread extended over and attached to him. The second… one hundredth, ten thousandth…

With Chen Ansheng’s mental strength, this was far too easy.

He didn’t know how long it had been, but all the origin threads of the laws connected to Chen Ansheng.

At this moment, Chen Ansheng naturally became the ruler; with just a thought, he could destroy all things or appear anywhere within the spirit realm.

“So this is what it’s like to control the spirit realm—like being the master of all things.”

Moreover, as the controller rather than a spirit, Chen Ansheng could absorb this spirit realm into his dantian at any time.

“Congratulations, Immortal, for successfully becoming the ruler.”

When the light orb disappeared, the controlling spirit immediately beamed with a smile and appeared before Chen Ansheng.

Chen Ansheng said, “I am now the sole sovereign of this realm. There is no need for you to exist anymore; it’s better if I erase you.”

Hearing this, the phantom old man was alarmed and said, “Immortal, you must not! I am a natural spirit evolved over millions of years. If you erase me, all living beings in this spirit realm will perish with me, turning it into a dead silent space. I implore you to reconsider.”

“Hahaha.” Chen Ansheng laughed, “As the controller, how could I not know? Just teasing you, look how scared you are.”

The old man nodded eagerly and lifted his hand to wipe the nonexistent sweat from his forehead.

“From now on, the operation of this space will be under your control. I am leaving.”

This command from Chen Ansheng, whether the controlling spirit was willing or not, it had to execute because Chen Ansheng was the true master of this realm; his words were absolute orders that must be obeyed.

“I understand.”

Then, Chen Ansheng’s figure vanished from the starry sky and reappeared on the mountain where he originally was.

“You… you have controlled the spirit realm?”

The first to speak was Lu Lingxi.

Seeing her nervous expression, Chen Ansheng said, “Is that even a question?”

Lu Lingxi’s heart sank as she felt an indescribable bitterness.

This person was simply too extraordinary; his method of becoming the ruler of the spirit realm was completely different from what was recorded in ancient texts.

He had threatened the controlling spirit, transcended the rules, and directly become the ruler—there was no difference from forcefully seizing it.

Realizing this, Lu Lingxi became extremely anxious and unsettled. What would this guy do to her?

“Um… Immortal Chen, I advise you not to leave the spirit realm for the time being. Since you killed Zhou Taihu, his family’s Sacred and Imperial realm experts will definitely be against you.” Lu Lingxi cautiously suggested.

“Oh? You’re starting to consider me?” Chen Ansheng feigned surprise.

“I…” Lu Lingxi felt ashamed of her earlier attitude of arrogance followed by servility, but what else could she do, “As the saying goes, a wise person knows the times; I acknowledge my mistake and hope Immortal Chen won’t hold it against me. Please don’t be like me.”

“Sigh.” Chen Ansheng sighed in disappointment, “You are ultimately not someone else. If it were her, she would rather die than bow to me.”
