The Immeasurable Ruler was a top-grade Doctrine Artifact and was a black ruler with a rectangular shape. It didnât seem like a weapon regardless of how one observed it. But, as a matter of fact, this was really the case. The Immeasurable Ruler was made out of unique materials, and it wasnât sharp, nor was it heavy like blunt weapons. Everyone believed that it wasnât suitable for offense. But since it was a top-grade Doctrine Artifact, it possessed an amazing traitâit could grant immunity to all of the worldâs poisonous substances. This was why it was given in the past to Jiang Chen who couldnât cultivate.
However, the Immeasurable Rulerâs function wasnât limited to just this alone, and, at this moment, several light rays appeared on the ruler. Their radiance was becoming more intense, while berserk golden lightning emerged out of Jiang Chenâs arm. At a certain moment, the golden lightning got in contact with the Immeasurable Ruler. The ruler shivered for a moment, before it turned into a long spear, and golden lightning raged around within the spear. The golden spear wasnât any longer formed by pure energyâit was a true divine and sharp weapon.
âIs...is this an Immortal Artifact?â When Yiya looked at the golden spear, she felt like she was facing a scorching sun. It shouldnât be possible for a Doctrine Artifact to possess such great power.
âItâs only good like this.â Jiang Chen smiled.
Xiao Ying pounced onto Jiang Chenâs right arm that was holding the spear, and it made the spearâs golden radiance shine even more brightly.
Yiya was dumbstruck. Jiang Chenâs fighting prowess had risen to another new level in the twinkling of an eye, and it wouldnât be difficult for him to deal with the seven people team. Just after this, Jiang Chen collected the divine lightning, while the long spear turned back into the Immeasurable Ruler. Jiang Chen was about to put away the Immeasurable Ruler. But he noticed that Yiyaâs expression was quite odd. As Jiang Chen give this matter consideration, he found this reasonable. The Immeasurable Ruler could become a pseudo-Immortal Artifact, and its value was unimaginable.
Yiya assumed that it was she who had discovered it, and she had only given it up when Jiang Chen asked for it. This was why she felt upset when she witnessed the Immeasurable Rulerâs potential. Jiang Chen was aware that the greatest taboos among friends were issues related to benefitsâ distribution, and regardless of how one acted usually, he would expose his true face when he ran across something related to his interests. This wasnât really a disparagement of Yiya, as on the contrary, Yiyaâs current response was quite rarely seen. Jiang Chen couldnât state that the Immeasurable Ruler was his own belonging, and this was why he found himself in an awkward situation.
âYiya, if nothing unexpected occurs, I will be able to help you get a great magical technique,â Jiang Chen said. âAs for this ruler, it has a special significance to me.â
âNo, no, I am okay with that.â Yiya quickly waved her hand, while wearing an odd look. She took a glance at the Immeasurable Ruler in Jiang Chenâs hand, before she smiled bitterly, and said, âIâm probably unable to let it change its shape and get an Immortal Artifactâs might.â As Yiya spoke up to here, she managed to calm down.
âBut despite this, I will still offer you compensation,â Jiang Chen said.
Upon witnessing his determination, Yiyaâs thoughts were diverted to the great magical technique, and when she realized what these three words implied, she was dumbstruck.
âYou have said a great magical technique, not a magical technique?â Yiya cried out in surprise. Magical techniques evolved from martial techniques, and they were martial techniques with power at high intensity. Magical techniques were also divided into several grades like martial techniques, and they were divided into great magical techniques and lesser magical techniques. The magical techniques grasped by most youngsters were just lesser magical techniques, while great magical techniques could only be cast by people with a heaven-grade or immortal-grade Martial Dais.
âThat is right.â
In his past life, Jiang Chen wasnât able to cultivate, and this was why he didnât know anything about scriptures and magical techniques. But if Xiao Nuo could awaken smoothly, the situation would become different.
They continued walking around in the manor. But since they were led by Xiao Ying, they didnât need to worry too much about anything.
At this moment, Jiang Chen detected some disturbance at a place ahead of them that wasnât too far from them, and when they approached it, they discovered that it was Yun Tiange and his group. When this group of people witnessed Jiang Chen and Yiya who hadnât suffered any harm, they were quite shocked. Moreover, when they noticed Yiyaâs ice-cold gaze, they got slightly restless.
âJiang Chen.â Yun Tiange walked over, and acted as if nothing had occurred. They had just run for their lives without warning Jiang Chen. He wouldnât cause trouble for them due to this, would he? However, Yun Tiange still didnât understand Jiang Chen well, and, when they got close to each other, a fist was thrust at him.
Yun Tiange sneered. He wasnât really helpless. Jiang Chenâs previous great performance outside was due to the two magical clones. Now, the magical clones were destroyed, and Jiang Chen could only fight with his main body. Since they were one-against-one, Yun Tiange didnât believe that Jiang Chen could get an overwhelming advantage over him.
âAre you demented?â Yun Tiange cursed Jiang Chen, before he used his Martial Daisâs power and a light shield started revolving around his body. âLuminous Mist Divine Shield!â
Yiya frowned. This was a lesser magical technique, and it didnât just possess great defensive power, it could also deflect enemiesâ attack. When Yiya was about to remind Jiang Chen, his fist became even more ferocious, and golden lightning appeared around it. The Luminous Mist Divine Shield ended up shattered like a piece of glass, while Yun Tiange suffered a punch and fell on the ground. Yun Tiange only got light injuries because the Luminous Mist Divine Shield blocked most of the strikeâs power.
âWhat is going on? Why did his personal power become so strong?
âHis realm level obviously didnât go through any changes, did it?â
The people behind Yun Tiange were confused. They had all assessed Jiang Chenâs power and assumed that it was on the same level as Yun Tiangeâs. If Jiang Chen wasnât assisted by magical clones, he would have been beaten and left half-alive when he faced the seven members team. Yun Tiange was one of the few Sacred Lords, and even though he couldnât crush Jiang Chen, he still could block him or escape unscathed.
âWhat do you mean by this? I havenât offended you, and didnât we already talk clearly about our previous obstruction of you.â Yun Tiange stood up and questioned Jiang Chen.
âItâs nothing. I just wanted to try my fistâs power, and this isnât related to the previous affair. If you canât accept such a matter, then come at me, Iâm here,â Jiang Chen sneered coldly and spoke.
Who was in the wrong? They both were bullying each other. Yun Tiange was infuriated greatly. It was only him that always bullied and stepped over other people, and he had never been treated like this.
âWhere is that pup?â Jiang Chen asked.
âI donât know.â Yun Tiange was still angry, and this was why he replied without giving this matter a single thought.
But just after this, he saw golden lightning emerging once again from Jiang Chenâs palm, and his expression changed drastically due to this.
âHe has followed the Xiao familyâs second miss, while I followed the third miss. So, how do I know?â As Yun Tiange spoke, his grief became apparent.
âWhere is the third miss?â
âShe died.â
An odd look appeared on Yun Tiangeâs face, and he said, âIt happened when we were about to enter the Soul Palace. We donât know why the eldest miss suddenly went crazy and started attacking and killing people.â
âWasnât this already within your expectations?â Since they would fight over soul stones, casualties would obviously occur.
âOur previous agreement was looking first for soul stones and going through their baptism, before competing over them. Even if one suffered a defeat, he would just have to hand over the soul stone. After all, they were all from the same family, and they mustnât make any hideous acts,â Yun Tiange said.
âFine.â Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders. This matter wasnât related to him, and he didnât care who died. Everything was fine as long as they didnât affect the final outcome.
Jiang Chen took Yiya and continued. He wanted to go to the Soul Palace that was within the manor.
âWhere are you still going? That...â
The group of people that were with Yun Tiange still wanted to inform Jiang Chen of something, but they were warned and obstructed by Yun Tiangeâs gaze.
However, Yiya still noticed that they blurted out some words.
