The Reincarnation Force among the Ten Iron Laws demands that one forcibly drag the opponent into the cycle of life and death reincarnation, whereas the Yin-Yang Force among the Ten Iron Laws is founded upon universal balance, seeking the opponent's vulnerabilities before launching an assault. The reason for mastering different Iron Laws stems from the contrasting natures of Bi Cangtian and Zhou Qingxuan.

However, in his current state, Lu Yuan must first master Reincarnation before he can learn Yin-Yang. It's not that Yin-Yang is inherently harder to learn than Reincarnation; the Ten Iron Laws are all distinct, with no inherent superiority or inferiority.

But attempting Yin-Yang before fully grasping Reincarnation would inevitably lead to being overwhelmed by too much too soon. At this moment, Lu Yuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back atop the main peak of Mount Hua—Reincarnation Peak.

Originally, Mount Hua was divided into five peaks, with no concept of a 'main peak.' Yet, due to Lu Yuan’s forceful decree, the current Main Peak, Reincarnation Peak, now exists. This Reincarnation Peak soars ten thousand zhang high, obscuring the sun and moon, piercing the clouds, and resting against the blue heavens.

This peak is immensely tall and incredibly treacherous. This mountain range belongs to the Qi Sect lineage.

It was erected through magical arts involving earth-moving and stone relocation. Those who follow the Immortal Path naturally possess their own methods; they managed to carve out such a monumental peak through sheer magical manipulation.

This peak is entirely new, lacking any legends of its own. But Lu Yuan remained utterly unconcerned.

Indeed, Reincarnation Peak possesses little history or lore, but as long as Mount Hua prospers, legends surrounding Reincarnation Peak will naturally arise. Around the perimeter of Mount Hua is arrayed the Grand Array of the Sun Salutation Jade Maiden Cloud Mist Purple Haze Diagram.

Lu Yuan did not dismantle this array, and he is now commencing the construction of Reincarnation Peak’s protective formation. He admitted he was still rather green in this regard, but upon his return from the Central Celestial Dynasty, he was certain to establish a grand array here, one no weaker than the Sun Salutation Jade Maiden Cloud Mist Purple Haze Diagram.

Currently, Reincarnation Peak is already protected by one formation, a creation of Lu Yuan's own design, incorporating several flying swords and subtly weaving in a trace of the Reincarnation Force. Should anyone trigger the formation, a thousand flying swords would erupt—their sword qi sweeping across the void, transforming into a massive defensive formation.

However, this rudimentary Reincarnation Array at present cannot hold back even a Half-Grandmaster. Grandmaster-level figures are still beyond the reach of his current array-building capacity, given his own limited strength.

Lu Yuan has also established the Myriad Moves Cave atop Reincarnation Peak. Within this cave, Lu Yuan himself inscribed numerous sword moves.

Currently, aside from Zhou Qingxuan, Lu Yuan possesses the highest level of swordsmanship on Mount Hua. Lu Yuan himself is at the very pinnacle of the Sword King realm, making his detailed inscriptions of sword moves perfect for the Eighth Generation disciples of the Sword Sect to study.

Simultaneously, within the Myriad Moves Cave, there are also many top-tier magical arts for the Eighth Generation disciples of the Qi Sect to research. These spells were naturally provided by Martial Uncle-Ancestor Zhou Qingxuan, as previously mentioned.

Zhou Qingxuan was a true all-system genius—mastering both swordsmanship and magic, having encountered countless fortuitous encounters, whereas Lu Yuan, like Yan Cangtian, specialized as a genius in the Way of the Sword. These swordsmanship techniques and spells are mixed together, forcing the Eighth Generation disciples of the Sword and Qi Sects, whom he had compelled into seclusion, to remain diligently engaged here.

Those who were meant to seclude themselves are secluding themselves; those who weren't are diligently studying the sword arts and magic here. The ingrained division between the Sword and Qi lineages among the Eighth Generation had long since grown into a towering, unshakeable tree; Lu Yuan simply decided to place them under soft confinement.

Halfway up the mountain lies the Hall of True Disciples. The numerous true disciples reside in close proximity.

Mount Hua currently hosts fifty True Disciples in total. These Tenth Generation true disciples are housed extremely close to one another.

When people live near each other and forge strong bonds, disputes over the Sword-Qi dichotomy become much harder to fuel—that was Lu Yuan's intention. Furthermore, Lu Yuan decided that in the future, he would endeavor to rapidly strengthen the Tenth Generation and ensure their ascension to higher positions.

This would ultimately be better for the future of Mount Hua. Lu Yuan's assumption of the position of Acting Sect Master was a significant affair.

Although the Mount Hua Immortal Sect had suffered a drastic decline in power and was often referred to as fallen, it was still once the foremost Immortal Sect, now ranking perhaps fifth among the Upper-Tier Immortal Sects. Back when Chu Duan took the helm as Sect Master, countless people came to offer congratulations, with every major sect sending world-shaking figures.

But for Lu Yuan taking the Acting Sect Master role, although everything was kept simple, invitations still needed to be extended in all directions. Lu Yuan held no interest in these trivial matters, delegating them to several deputies.

These deputies were the former Human Superior Lie Feng of the Sword Sect, Human Superior Yu Zhen of the Qi Sect, and Lu Qingtao of the former Sword-Qi Sect—three individuals. The Sword-Qi Three Sects had now been disbanded.

Each deputy was selected from one of the original sects to ensure fairness. On the day of his installation as Acting Sect Master, after Lu Yuan made his appearance, he noticed that the assembled guests were not particularly powerful.

The guests sent by immortal sects like Qingcheng Immortal Gate and Wudang Immortal Gate were mostly cultivators at the first, second, or third layers of the Great Dao realm. What was going on?

In the cultivation world, different levels of power denote entirely different statuses. A cultivator at the fourth or fifth layer of the Great Dao holds a far superior status to one at the first, second, or third layer.

Typically, for major events concerning the Mount Hua Immortal Sect, figures at the fourth or fifth layer of the Great Dao, or even Grandmasters or Half-Grandmasters, would attend. Why then were only those at the first or second layer present this time, with the most prominent barely reaching the third layer?

Lu Yuan couldn't help but pause in surprise. Human Superior Yuanyang transmitted telepathically: "The Wudang Immortal Gate is reportedly celebrating the birthday of their Sect Master, Song Qingqiao; all the attention has shifted there, away from us.

What an insult!" At this moment, Lu Yuan felt an extraordinary sense of shame. The Wudang Immortal Gate was currently the premier Immortal Gate.

Yet, the birthday celebration of Wudang's Sect Master, Song Qingqiao, was deemed more significant in the Jin State's cultivation world than the succession of Mount Hua's Sect Master—this was a blatant humiliation. Indeed, the current cultivation world buzzed with rumors that Mount Hua was on the brink of collapse, lacking even a single Half-Grandmaster, and suffering severe losses among its fifth-layer Great Dao cultivators.

Their actual strength was rumored to be weaker than that of the Qingcheng Immortal Gate, which used to rank at the very bottom. It was said that even some Mid-Tier Immortal Sects were eyeing the position currently held by Mount Hua as an Upper-Tier Immortal Sect.

No one took Mount Hua seriously anymore. A surge of anger flared in Lu Yuan, but he immediately took a deep breath.

It is true; Mount Hua is currently in a period of significant weakness. But with me here, I will certainly lead Mount Hua to prosperity.

Lu Yuan thought to himself. However, in six months, he was due to participate in the Hundred Nations Assessment, and he worried he wouldn't have much mental capacity left to manage the Mount Hua Immortal Sect.

Recently, there had been an earth-shattering piece of news: the Hundred Nations Assessment had been postponed. It was originally slated for six months hence, but it had now been pushed back to two and a half years from now.

Even so, once he returned from the Central Celestial Dynasty, he was determined to make Mount Hua incomparably powerful. When Lu Yuan first heard the news, he almost leaped up demanding to know about the Two Hundred Nations Assessment.

The assessment involved nine hundred and ninety-nine nations; it was an event of monumental importance. To have it postponed now—it was truly unbearable.

He quickly inquired of Human Superior Zixia for the reason, and only after Zixia explained the situation did he nod, feeling a sense of resignation upon hearing the cause. It turned out that the consort of the Lord of the Civilization of Law within the Central Celestial Dynasty had given birth to a daughter.

In the Jin State, or other countries, there were tiered systems of immortal sects: Giant, Grand, Upper, Middle, down to the smallest, Lesser Immortal Sects. In the Central Celestial Dynasty, however, things were drastically different.

The most powerful factions there were no longer individual immortal sects but were called Civilizations. A Civilization is the sum total of the wealth created by living beings.

To be titled a Civilization was no small thing. The so-called Civilization of Law was a convergence of the Law Civilization, consolidating innumerable spells from ancient times to the present, forming a unified whole.

The most powerful spells originated from there. And the Civilization Lord of the Law Civilization—that being was the monarch of the heavens, the embodiment of the Civilization, the origin of the Dao of Law, the first instructor of all Sages, representing the strongest and greatest existence within the path of spellcraft.

The Civilization Lord! This title represented the most formidable existence between heaven and earth.

How weak any immortal sect seemed in comparison to a Civilization. And the Lord of the Law Civilization had produced an only daughter, referred to as an Imperial Princess.

It was rumored that this child had been bestowed the title of the Law Spirit Imperial Princess (Fa Ling Di Ji). In the Central Celestial Dynasty, there had always been a selection known as the Twelve Beauties of the Mortal World (Hua Jian Ji).

This Law Spirit Imperial Princess was widely believed to have the potential to be included in this selection. The ranking for the Twelve Beauties of the Mortal World in the Central Celestial Dynasty was based on selecting the twelve women under one thousand years old who possessed the highest social standing and greatest beauty.

Every single one of them possessed boundless beauty and nobly supreme status, capable of earning the reverence of millions of young cultivators for millennia. Why was the selection restricted to cultivators under one thousand years old?

In the Central Celestial Dynasty, lifespans could be calculated in tens of thousands of years; countless female cultivators existed, and their appearances remained eternally youthful. If a true selection were attempted based purely on appearance, it would be impossible to judge.

Thus, the concept of the Twelve Beauties of the Mortal World was established. Hua Jian Ji: A text that primarily recorded the daily lives and adornments of high-ranking noble ladies and beauties.

Women have always been compared to flowers, and this title celebrates feminine allure. Even though the Law Spirit Imperial Princess had only just been born, rumor had it that someone used the Future Law Eye technique to glimpse her future appearance, suggesting she was capable of entering the top ten most beautiful cultivators.

The Future Law Eye itself was an incredible magical technique. Due to the birth of the Law Civilization Lord's daughter, the Law Spirit Imperial Princess, the Hundred Nations Assessment was postponed for two years to allow for a period of respite from conflict.

Those accepted into the Hundred Nations Assessment held a low status within the Central Celestial Dynasty anyway. However, the Lord of the Law Civilization stood at the absolute apex of power in the Central Celestial Dynasty—the difference between that being and mere mud.

Therefore, postponing it by two years was entirely reasonable. It was also rumored that the Lord of the Law Civilization had taken a liking to the Son of Law, one of the Seven Sons of Destiny, intending him to be her future son-in-law, a sign of a potential alliance, causing much envy.

The Son of Law truly possessed a destiny, but even the Seven Sons of Destiny were vastly inferior to a Civilization Lord. If one could become a Civilization Lord, their future achievements would be limitless, potentially allowing them to challenge the Sage level or even the Emperor level.

Naturally, challenging for the position of Civilization Lord seemed impossible now. In the last hundred thousand years, no one had succeeded in becoming a Civilization Lord.

It appeared that challenging that ultimate status was no longer a viable path. This was a monumental event transpiring in the Central Celestial Dynasty, whose repercussions radiated out across the nine hundred surrounding nations.
