Chapter 479: Wang Family’s Young Master

Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Wang Family’s Young Master

The flow of time in the painting world is distinct, with the four seasons clearly defined.

The trees here shift from tender green leaves to withered yellow, falling to the ground, only to sprout anew.

The flowers here fade from vivid colors to withering, and then from withering to a vibrant vitality.

Ji Chen seems to have become a bona fide observer, watching the transformations in the painting world and the changes of seasons.

He says nothing, only quietly observing, occasionally shaking his head, then nodding, as if seeing and comprehending something within.

"This is causality!"

After a long time, he murmured this to himself.

Constantly observing the changes in the painting world, Ji Chen learned that this was the Way of Cause and Effect.

But it differed from the causality cultivated in the Turquoise Pool.

What he saw now was a kind of law.

The Law of Cause and Effect!

"Buzz!"

He comprehended, his eyes flashing with insight.

Beneath the Enlightenment Tree, Ji Chen awakened, his entire aura seemed to shift in that moment.

With a flip of his right hand, two spheres of black and white light appeared in his palm, revolving slowly like a Tai Chi Diagram in Ji Chen’s hand.

This was the causality he comprehended, Ji Chen’s eighth law!

It is said that throughout history, there are thousands of laws in the world, but no one can comprehend more than nine.

Because nine is the limit, the pinnacle of the Great Dao.

In the immemorial years, no one has ever truly comprehended nine laws.

Even the Immortal Monarchs who shook the ancient times could not achieve it.

But now, Ji Chen has a total of eight laws.

Only one law remains to reach the legendary peak of the Great Dao!

"Hoo!"

He exhaled a long breath, his fingers forming seals, and upon comprehending the Law of Cause and Effect, Ji Chen discovered he could use this law for simple calculations.

However, these calculations paled in comparison to the Way of Cause and Effect cultivated by the Jade Pool Divine Lady.

"You’ve been sitting here for half a day, can you get up now?"

Just as Ji Chen intended to delve deeper into the Law of Cause and Effect, a voice reached his ears.

He was startled and turned to look.

Soon, he saw three young men had arrived not far from his side, without him knowing when.

Among the three, the one leading was a young man dressed in finery, appearing to possess an extraordinary background.

At the young man’s side, the other two followed, dressed as attendants.

One of them, seeing Ji Chen unmoved, couldn’t help but speak again, "Kid, we’re talking to you, didn’t you hear?"

"Something the matter?" Ji Chen was taken aback, a bit unclear.

"You’ve been sitting here for half the day, isn’t it time to get up?"

"What does whether I get up or not have to do with you?" Ji Chen retorted, feeling somewhat bemused.

"This place is one of the few cultivation spots in the Turquoise Pool, open only during special gatherings. Usually, there are no opportunities to sit and comprehend here. You’ve occupied a space for half a day, shouldn’t you make room?" said the two attendants.

Ji Chen scanned his surroundings and found that now beneath the Enlightenment Tree, the number of cultivators had almost doubled since he arrived, truly overcrowded.

"With so many people here, yet you came to me, absurd," Ji Chen said calmly.

"Others only sit for one or two Hours at most and leave. But you, sitting for half a day, occupying the spot without doing anything, might make one think you’ve comprehended something,"

"Enough talk, get up and make room for our Young Master,"

With these words, the two attendants approached Ji Chen with an impatient attitude, even seemingly intending to drive him away.

"I suggest you think carefully before speaking to me," Ji Chen remained seated, locking eyes with them.

"Oh, quite bold. Do you know who’s standing in front of you?"

The two attendants sneered, then said, "This is our Yinzhou Wang Family’s Young Master, Wang Yunting. Kid, you better make way sensibly."

The Wang Family is one of the contemporary Ancient Immortal Races, based in Yinzhou, one of the Nine Provinces, with unfathomable heritage. They are among the few capable of being compared with the Turquoise Pool, Purple Mansion, and other top Sects.

However, such identity or background clearly could not intimidate Ji Chen in the slightest.

He looked at the three in front of him as if they were fools, "I don’t care whether you’re a Young Master of the Wang or Chen Family. You’d better not provoke me."

"Kid, you’re courting death!"

With these words, the two attendants immediately grew furious.

One of them wasted no words, directly stepping forward and reaching for Ji Chen, intending to drive him away.

"Bang!"

But in the next moment, a dull sound echoed.

Before the opponent could touch Ji Chen, a force sent him flying away distance.

"Ah!"

The attendant let out a miserable cry, uncontrollably coughing up a mouthful of blood, his body slamming heavily into the ground, passing out on the spot.

"Hmm?"

Witnessing this scene, the other attendant was visibly shocked, and even Wang Yunting narrowed his eyes slightly, fixing his gaze on Ji Chen, "You have the audacity to attack my Wang family member?"

"You attacked first, I merely defended myself," Ji Chen said calmly.

He knew the Turquoise Pool gathering had rules; no guests are to act casually within the Turquoise Pool. Otherwise, it would be considered disrespectful, giving the Turquoise Pool a justified reason to expel them.

In severe cases, there might even be some punishment.

"What’s happening?"

The commotion here evidently caught the attention of people around.

Numerous cultivators turned their gaze curiously to watch.

"Isn’t that Wang Yunting, the Young Master of the Wang Family?"

"He’s a typical playboy, bullying others everywhere with the Wang family’s backing, without anyone daring to resist."

"Who clashed with him?"

As the discussion ensued, all eyes focused on Ji Chen.

"No matter who he is, opposing Wang Yunting means misfortune today," someone commented.

"Self-defense?"

Wang Yunting sneered, casting a disdainful look at Ji Chen, "Do you think that the Turquoise Pool would believe you or my Wang family?"

"Now, I give you two choices: one, leave the Turquoise Pool immediately; two, kneel before me and kowtow three times, and perhaps I’ll overlook this."
