ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

Chapter 100: Law of Nothingness



"Phew! I survived!" Yun Wuji muttered, walking out of the training room. He patted his chest, letting out a sigh of relief. Never in his life had he been this terrified...who would've thought his lovely and soft girls could be this dreadful!

After drying up all his saliva and using his almost frightening talent, he finally managed to convince them to hold a marriage this month for every one of them.

"Sigh! This month will be hectic; I'll have to marry every two days," Yun Wuji muttered, shaking his head as he made his way to his favorite spot in the garden by the lake.

Reclining in his chair, he kicked his feet up onto the table, settling into a lazy posture. From his storage, he pulled out a piece of black jade and began examining it in his hand.

It was the fragment of the World-Defying Heaven Manual he had taken from the body of the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign.

The World-Defying Heaven Manual was a profound art created by the ancestral goddess before her self-destruction. It was said that she couldn't bear to see the fruits of her labor vanish entirely, yet feared that its power was too immense. So, she divided it into three fragments, scattering them to different corners of the Primal Chaos.

In the Era of Gods, two of these fragments were discovered, one by Mo E, the leader of the Four Creation Gods, and the other by Jie Yuan, the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor. The third fragment was hidden within the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, now in Yun Wuji's possession.

At present, one fragment is outside the Primal Chaos, held by the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, while the other is likely in the possession of Qianye Ying'er.

"Master!" While Yun Wuji was examining the black jade, Xia Qingyue's voice called out from a distance as she rushed toward him, her steps quick and filled with anxiety.

"Qingyue, what's the matter?" Yun Wuji put down the black jade on the table and asked with a calm expression.

"Master! Are you...are you really going to get married?!" Xia Qingyue rushed toward him, gripping his left shoulder, her voice filled with nervousness.

"Yes..." Yun Wuji was about to reply when another voice rang out.

"Master!" Xiao Lingxi came running anxiously, her eyes wide with surprise upon seeing Xia Qingyue. However, she quickly closed the distance and, breathless, asked, "Master! I heard you're getting married! Is it true?!"

"Ye..." Yun Wuji was about to smile and nod in response when, once again, someone came running toward him-it was Yun Che this time.

"$!!##" Frustrated by being interrupted so many times, Yun Wuji gritted his teeth, wanting

to curse.

"Master! Are you really getting married?!" Yun Che asked, his voice filled with excitement as he rushed over.

Yun Wuji remained silent for a moment, scanning around to see if anyone else was about to interrupt him. After a brief pause, he finally cleared his throat and replied, "Cough! Yes, I am getting married."

"Congratulations, Master, this is a happy occasion!" Yun Che said, genuinely happy for his master. He then muttered to himself, "Master's marriage is important. I need to think of a suitable gift."

"..." On the other hand, Xia Qingyue and Xiao Lingxi's faces grew pale upon hearing his confirmation. Xia Qingyue's lips trembled, and her eyes reddened as she struggled to hold back her emotions. She wanted to say something, but her words caught in her throat.

Xiao Lingxi clenched her fists, her gaze fixed on Yun Wuji with a sorrowful look in her eyes.

"Eeeh, I just remembered, I haven't finished learning my new sword move! See you later, master!" Sensing the strange atmosphere, Yun Che quickly made up an excuse and, without waiting for his master's reply, hurriedly ran off.

"..." Yun Wuji watched his disciple flee in a hurry and shook his head.

"Why are you crying?" Yun Wuji gently patted Xia Qingyue's head and asked.

"Master's going to marry a new wife, and he's going to forget about us," Xia Qingyue lowered her head, her voice tinged with sadness.

"Silly girl," Yun Wuji poked her forehead with two fingers and chuckled. "Even if I marry, you're still going to be my precious disciples. I'll still spend the same amount of time with you and care for you just like before."

"Really?" Xia Qingyue lifted her head and asked, her eyes slightly hopeful.

Though she was still a bit down, Yun Wuji's promise had comforted her. She sighed internally,

'If only I were older... I should be the one marrying Master, not her!'

"Of course!" Yun Wuji smiled warmly, ruffling her hair gently.

"Master! Who is the woman you're going to marry?" Xiao Lingxi suddenly asked.

"Cough! This is a bit complicated," Yun Wuji coughed, slightly embarrassed, and said, "I'm going to marry 13 wives, each one will have their own special day."

"What?! You can do it this way?!" Xia Qingyue and Xiao Lingxi stared at him with wide eyes, both shocked by his bold declaration.

"In that case, can I marry master when I grow up?!" Xia Qingyue and Xiao Lingxi looked at each other, both muttering quietly.

"..." Yun Wuji remained silent, pretending he didn't hear them.

"Master, what is that thing glowing over there? Is it a new treasure?" Suddenly, Xiao Lingxi noticed an object on the table that was glowing with light.

"Oh, that..." Yun Wuji turned around and saw the black jade glowing with a gray light. He had been so focused on talking to his disciples that he had forgotten about it.

This jade, a fragment of the World-Defying Heaven Manual, was personally created by the Ancestral Goddess. Since Xiao Lingxi is the last reincarnation of the Ancestral Goddess, this fragment will react to her when it is in close proximity to her.

"I found this in a cave in the southern ocean of the Profound Sky Continent," Yun Wuji said as he picked up the jade and tossed it to Xiao Lingxi. "Here, take a look at it."

"Ah!" Xiao Lingxi was startled by his sudden action and quickly reached out to catch the jade, her hands trembling slightly as she feared it might break.

"Kya~ What is this?!" The moment Xiao Lingxi held the black jade, the silver light emanating from it suddenly flared up, exploding in brightness. The unexpected change left her gasping in stunned amazement.

Yun Wuji didn't answer her, his gaze fixed on the jade in her hands. The silver light that had radiated so intensely just moments ago had vanished, leaving the jade once again with its usual glossy black appearance.

Above the jade, a large cluster of silver motes now hovered, swirling and scattering into a mesmerizing display. The motes twisted and drifted apart, eventually forming several hundred evenly-sized points of light. Each mote held a distinct shape, arranged meticulously in mid-air, like symbols floating in an invisible pattern.

The silver motes seemed to be merging into what looked like a series of characters, yet, at the same time, they appeared to form a single, unified character.

Xiao Lingxi's gaze remained fixed on the floating characters as she murmured softly,

"World... Defying... Heaven... Manual..."

"Lingxi, can you read these characters?" Yun Wuji asked, feigning shock, even though he

already knew the answer.

The will of the Ancestral Goddess is near-omniscient; she can see everything that happens in the world. In fact, even after she self-destructed, her will remained, spending all her time observing the living beings in the Primal Chaos.

Later, because of the changes in the laws of the Abyss of Nothingness, she chose to

reincarnate to fix that problem.

In her first 999 reincarnations, she had her memories and will, but she was still powerless, soNôv(el)B\\jnn

in most of her reincarnations, she died very quickly, which was what she wanted. However, in her last reincarnation, which is now, she doesn't have any memories and her will is dormant, so unless she died, she wouldn't regain any of her power.

If she were to successfully reincarnate, she would know everything that Yun Wuji did, and with some deduction, there was a high chance she would realize that he was a transmigrator.

However, this was all under the premise that her reincarnation was successful. As long as Xiao Lingxi didn't die, the Ancestral Goddess would most likely never appear, and her will probably would remain dormant.

This is the reason why Yun Wuji is so lax when dealing with Xiao Lingxi because she doesn't pose any immediate threat to him. Furthermore, from what he knows of the Ancestral Goddess, she wasn't someone unreasonable. The chance of her taking any action against him

is quite low.

Xiao Lingxi nodded her head before suddenly shaking it vigorously. Her eyes were completely

vacant, yet filled with deep bewilderment and shock. "I don't know... I've clearly never seen these words before, but... I can actually... I can actually read them. I know every single word... But I've never recognized them... I've never seen such words before." "Master, what is going on with me?" Xiao Lingxi asked nervously, her eyes wide with

confusion as she looked at Yun Wuji.

"Haha, don't worry. I've always told you that you're a special existence. This is probably some of your slumbering power awakening. Don't take it to heart; it's not a bad thing for you," Yun Wuji chuckled, standing up and walking over to her. He gently patted her head to comfort her. "Hmm!" Xiao Lingxi nodded, her nerves calming at his reassuring words. "Lingxi, can you translate these words for me? I really want to know what they are saying," Yun Wuji said, looking at the floating characters.

"Okay." Xiao Lingxi raised her head, her gaze sweeping across the characters. She then began to read the words formed by the silver light.

"Before the great explosion of the Primal Chaos, there was no order in heaven and earth, no

difference in light and darkness. The origin power of the world was bound by the heavenly law; barren in the first era, boundless after a hundred eras and endlessly flourishing after myriads forth. The stars formed the universe, and the fallen heaven formed the realms. All that was extraordinary were in the opposition, all prosperity was mere illusion..." *Read this carefully. If you are talented enough, perhaps you can begin cultivating the Law of Nothingness and achieve nothing.*

Yun Wuji absorbed every word that Xiao Lingxi chanted. Each word struck his heart and soul

with intense force, causing his body and soul to faintly tremble. It was a strange feeling, one that no words could fully describe.

The lowest requirement to touch upon the Law of Nothingness is to experience both life and death and to cross through time and space.

This means that a person must die and be reborn, traveling through time and space, before

they can even begin to touch the Law of Nothingness. Even then, they would never be able to fully master the law without the Sacred Body of Nothingness.

Yun Wuji was someone who had been reborn into this world, and he had also traveled through time and space to arrive here. Thus, he met the conditions to cultivate the Law of Nothingness. However, even if he hadn't met these conditions, his Unfattered Profound Veins would still have allowed him to cultivate the Law of Nothingness.

His profound veins were not bound by any laws or restrictions, making him completely

"Unfettered" and limitless!

*Limitless Demon Venerable!*

His veins didn't break the laws like the Nine Profound Exquisite Body; they transcended them.

Laws simply did not apply to him. He was like a World Noble from One Piece, above the laws

and regulations that governed others. While cultivators in this world were like second-class citizens, bound by the laws of the universe.

He existed beyond them-untouched and unrestricted.

So, even without meeting the previous conditions or possessing the Sacred Body of

Nothingness, he could still master the Law of Nothingness.

That's why Yun Wuji was always proud of his profound veins because their abilities were not

heaven-defying, but heaven-transcending!

Even if he were to ignore his veins' ability to provide him with exceptional combat power or

cultivation speed, this alone made them far superior to anything else, even the Heretic God's profound veins. Their ability to transcend all laws and limitations set them apart in ways no other profound veins could ever match.
