Yetianming was naturally worried; he had not forgotten about the matters in the Milky Way.
He thought that Tazu was an incredibly powerful tower, which was beyond doubt, but at the same time, he felt that Tazu was often somewhat unreliable.
Without getting entangled with Tazu over this matter, he headed towards the sixth floor, as the sixth floor was specifically for food.
The entire sixth floor was dedicated to food, with all kinds of dishes available. To be precise, foods from various civilizations could be found there.
Although cultivators could abstain from food, not all cultivators liked to do so. Most cultivators still enjoyed the pleasure that food brought.
Yetianming looked around and finally bought a whole roasted sheep as big as a cow, named "Big Cow Sheep."
This type of sheep was a hybrid of sheep and cows, hence its enormous size.
When Yetianming learned this, he was also amazed, for the world was vast and full of wonders.
In addition to the roasted whole sheep, he bought many other foods.
Arriving at Fucang's room, he knocked on the door. Fucang opened it, and Yetianming handed her the storage ring. "Senior Sister, I bought a lot of food. Try them and see which ones you like, then tell me, and I'll buy more for you next time."
Fucang glanced at him, took the storage ring, and turned to walk into the room without closing the door.
Just as Yetianming was about to close the door for her, Fucang suddenly said, "Come in."
Yetianming walked in, and Fucang took out the roasted whole sheep, picked it up, and started gnawing on it.
Yetianming: "......"
After gnawing for a while, Fucang suddenly looked up at Yetianming, "Want to eat?"
Yetianming was a bit hesitant.
Fucang frowned and stared at Yetianming, "If you want it, just say so. Don't be timid."
Yetianming said, "I want a leg of the sheep."
Fucang tore off a leg and handed it to him. He took the leg and took a bite; it indeed tasted very good.
Fucang asked, "Are you confident about this debate?"
Yetianming replied, "I'll do my best."
Fucang didn't say anything more and continued gnawing on the sheep.
Yetianming was shocked to see that his senior sister was gnawing on the bones as well.
This was outrageous.
His senior sister was too fierce.
Soon, the entire sheep was eaten clean. After finishing, she looked at Yetianming without saying a word.
Yetianming asked, "Senior Sister, is there something you need me to do?"
Fucang took out a scroll and handed it to him. Yetianming took the scroll, curious, "What is this?"
Fucang didn't speak.
Yetianming opened the scroll and read it. After a moment, he looked up at Fucang, shocked, "Senior Sister, this......"
Fucang looked at him, "Do you think it's possible?"
Yetianming was silent, deeply shocked.
The scroll contained his cultivation technique, but it had been modified by Fucang. The direction of the modification was to devour 'laws'!
In the Guanxuan Universe, the laws of the Guanxuan Deity were supreme!
This devouring of laws... it was no different from rebellion. The Guanxuan Universe was established by laws, and it was filled with various laws. Devouring them would be equivalent to devouring the fortune of the Guanxuan Universe. This senior sister......
Yetianming looked at Fucang, who stared back without speaking.
Yetianming thought for a moment and then said, "I think it's possible, but it's very dangerous."
Fucang didn't speak.
Yetianming asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Fucang said, "There are some details that need further improvement. Help me with that."
As she spoke, she took out a storage ring and handed it to Yetianming, "As a reward."
Yetianming shook his head, "I don't want money."
Fucang frowned slightly.
Yetianming said, "Senior Sister, can we study together?"
Fucang looked at him for a moment and then said, "Alright."
Yetianming suddenly became excited, "Senior Sister, how did you come up with this idea? You're a genius, you're so amazing, I admire you so much."
Fucang: "......"
Yetianming looked at the scroll with excitement, "I never thought of this. If we can devour all kinds of energy, why can't we devour laws? Senior Sister... you're so amazing, you're the smartest person I've ever met, worthy of being my senior sister."
Fucang: "......"
Yetianming was not flattering her deliberately; he genuinely felt this way because he had never thought that his 'Tianming Decision' could devour laws. In the Guanxuan Universe, the laws of the Guanxuan Deity were omnipresent. Most importantly, if he could devour laws, could he also devour 'Dao'?
In other words, his cultivation technique would no longer be limited to devouring ordinary energy but could devour more advanced entities.
Whether tangible or intangible, as long as he wanted, he could devour them.
Of course, he couldn't do this now, but he realized that his cultivation technique had no upper limit, and his future held infinite possibilities.
At this moment, Yetianming suddenly said, "Senior Sister, I'll take you to a place."
He then led Fucang to the Extraordinary Hall.
After entering, Fucang glanced around at the scrolls on the walls, showing no emotion.
Yetianming said, "Senior Sister, we'll cultivate here."
He actually wanted to go to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion's cultivation holy land, but he had no money, so he could only come to the Extraordinary Hall.
In the following time, Yetianming and Fucang began to study the cultivation technique. Fucang proposed the concept of devouring laws, but she hadn't come up with a feasible method because Yetianming's current technique couldn't devour laws, meaning it needed improvement.
Yetianming paced around the hall, frowning in deep thought.
How to improve it?
This was the question he was pondering.
Fucang watched him without speaking, and her attitude towards this junior brother was no longer as resistant as before.
At this moment, Yetianming suddenly stopped and looked at Fucang, "Senior Sister, I know where our problem lies. To devour the laws of the Guanxuan Deity, we must understand what these laws are."
Fucang said, "Go on."
Yetianming said, "The current laws of the Guanxuan Deity are the supreme laws. We can't devour them by brute force because we can't be stronger than the Guanxuan Sword Master. However......"
At this point, he became excited, "According to my knowledge, the laws of the Guanxuan Deity are a fusion of divine laws and Guanxuan laws. These two laws both complement and constrain each other. In other words, the Guanxuan Sword Master allows others to constrain his order and laws. Therefore, to devour the laws of the Guanxuan Deity, we need our own new 'laws' or philosophy. My cultivation technique lacks a philosophy......"
Fucang slowly clenched her hands and stared at Yetianming, "Continue......"
Yetianming didn't speak but paced back and forth, frowning deeply.
Fucang watched him without interrupting.
Yetianming suddenly stopped and looked at Fucang, "Supervision."
Fucang frowned, "Supervision?"
Yetianming said seriously, "Yes, Senior Sister. Our strength can't match the Guanxuan Sword Master. His philosophy is to let all beings live with dignity and to give hope to the countless people at the bottom of society. We can't create a philosophy that rivals his in a short time, but we can supervise. The laws of the Guanxuan Deity are for the benefit of all beings, and if they are for the benefit of all beings, then all beings have the right to supervise. If the enforcers of the law are unjust, we can...... not follow the laws of the Guanxuan Deity."
Fucang narrowed her eyes.
Yetianming continued, "We can't defeat the Guanxuan Sword Master now. Even if we have a new philosophy, it can't rival his. Therefore, the only feasible path is to use the Guanxuan Sword Master's philosophy to defeat his own philosophy!"
Fucang looked at Yetianming, her eyes showing a hint of unusual light, but it quickly disappeared.
Yetianming added, "The laws of the Guanxuan Sword Master were created for the benefit of all beings. Now, his followers enforce the laws unjustly. If the laws are enforced unjustly, why should we still follow them? Of course......"
He took a deep breath, "The biggest issue is whether the Guanxuan Sword Master allows us to not follow the laws when they are unjust, whether he allows us to supervise his laws, and whether he allows us to constrain his laws...... If he doesn't allow it, unless our strength surpasses his, we will never be able to devour his laws...... I'll try now!"
After saying this, he sat down in a meditative posture and raised his hands to activate his cultivation technique.
But at this moment, Fucang directly stopped him, staring at him, "It's very dangerous."
Historically, although it was said that the public had the right to supervise the laws, who didn't know that this was a joke?
Yetianming said, "We have to try."
He then directly activated his cultivation technique. Soon, the space in the hall began to ripple like water waves.
Fucang watched the surroundings, on guard.
Soon, she was shocked to see many golden threads appearing around Yetianming, slowly converging towards him.
Devouring laws!
Fucang was excited; had it succeeded?
At this moment, Yetianming sensed something and suddenly opened his eyes, "Senior Sister, quickly leave."
He then pushed Fucang out of the Extraordinary Hall. As Fucang was teleported out, she heard a沧桑 (cāngsāng, meaning 'weathered' or 'ancient') voice from the depths of the universe, "Who is disrupting the laws of the Guanxuan Deity!"
Immediately, she saw a beam of golden light pierce through the Extraordinary Hall, heading straight for Yetianming, aiming to crush him into dust.
