Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

Emperor Zhong, one of the three creators of the Nine Court Immortal Law, was the most significant.

Because the other two were only responsible for the establishment of the regulations, while Emperor Zhong had to handle the interrelation of each regulation and also oversee the combination and effectiveness of these laws.

Most importantly, the laws were personally constructed by Emperor Zhong.

Which is to say, all of the three thousand parts of the Nine Court Immortal Law had been processed by Emperor Zhong, incorporating the Space Law and the golden regulations.

The first regulation stipulates that within every hundred years, the creators of the Nine Court Immortal Law have the right to designate an unstable piece of evidence as valid or declare a fixed piece of evidence as invalid.

The second regulation states that within every hundred years, the Immortal Court Emperor has the right to designate an unstable piece of evidence as valid or to refute the effectiveness of any law.

The third regulation determines that when all evidence fails to produce a valid verdict, the creators of the Nine Court Immortal Law have the right to make a judgment and establish new laws.

Moreover, the rank of these regulations is on par with the general laws, so even if you have regulations that overturn those protected by the making regulations, the authority of the making regulations is still higher than yours.

Although there are only three making regulations, they ensure all interests of the Immortal Court Emperor.

It could be said that when the fundamental interests of the Immortal Court Emperor are involved, the making regulations come into play.

As soon as the making regulations appear, it implies that Emperor Wushang must win the lawsuit.

Ding Huan felt speechless and sneered inwardly; this was shamelessly turning a blind eye, yet they did it as if it were only natural.

Now even the making regulations and Emperor Zhong have been summoned; could this Immortal Spirit Rice really be so crucial to Emperor Wushang?

Isn't Immortal Spirit Rice merely for satiation, aiding in cultivation, and for purging elixir toxicity? How could it be so vital?

It seems I may have been a bit rash in coming here today.

Not because I can't win the lawsuit, but because of Emperor Zhong.

Emperor Zhong controls the Space Law, and having designated the Nine Court Immortal Law, he must be an upper-tier Great Emperor.

Xing Pan and I had a hard time eliminating Emperor Wukong, and now suddenly there's an Emperor Zhong; the balance of power is beyond my control.

As Ding Huan weighed the pros and cons, an elder stepped out from the crowd.

Seeing this elder, Ding Huan's eyes twitched uncontrollably.

This man was undoubtedly powerful; since his arrival, he had been aware of all the Star Lords, Lords, and various other powerful individuals present.

Yet he had not detected this old man's presence; could this man's strength surpass Xing Pan's?

"Zhongnu greets the Heavenly Emperor; long live the Heavenly Emperor," the elder bowed respectfully before Emperor Wushang, his tone flat but with extreme reverence.

"Please rise, Emperor Zhong. It is my fault to have troubled you to establish laws today," Emperor Wushang even stood up.

Emperor Zhong nodded, moved to the side with eyes downcast, silent.

"Ding Huan, this is a futile effort. You may publicly plant Immortal Spirit Rice at the Immortal Agriculture Department..."

Emperor Ping Wei's telepathic message timely reached Ding Huan's ear. He noticed Emperor Zhong's earlobes trembled slightly and immediately telepathically responded to Ping Wei, "Don't telepathically communicate..."

Emperor Ping Wei's heart skipped a beat, quickly halting his subsequent words.

His intention was to tell Ding Huan that planting Immortal Spirit Rice openly at the Immortal Agriculture Department was far better than having it taken away by Emperor Wushang.

Now that Ding Huan had told him not to telepathically communicate, the implication was that Emperor Zhong could hear his transmission.

Ping Wei also quieted down, his heart tumultuous. He had known last time that Ding Huan could telepathically communicate within the Immortal Court Palace to Lu Chongdao.

And now he realized that Ding Huan's telepathic ability was even superior to his own.

His telepathic messages could be detected by Emperor Zhong, but Emperor Zhong was unable to sense Ding Huan's telepathy.

After Emperor Wushang had seen Emperor Zhong, he turned to Ding Huan and said, "Law Officer Ding, this is Emperor Zhong, the creator of the Nine Court laws."

Hearing this, everyone in the Immortal Court Palace was shocked as they gazed at Emperor Zhong.

That Emperor Zhong was the creator of the Nine Court Immortal Law was not common knowledge.

No matter how formidable Law Officer Ding might be, could he really be more formidable than the creator of the Immortal Laws?

The Nine Court Immortal Law was established by Emperor Zhong; Ding Huan, relying on laws established by others to contend, winning would be a marvel indeed.

Seizing the moment, Ding Huan directed his Divine Will without restraint upon Emperor Zhong.

He had always intended to observe the true strength of Emperor Zhong, and with such an opportunity, how could he let it pass?

Ding Huan's blatant use of his Divine Will on Emperor Zhong was noticed by others, but nobody cared.

With everyone about to engage in a legal argument, what was a probing Divine Will in comparison?

Most could only sense that Emperor Zhong's strength was unfathomable, yet Ding Huan's Divine Will discovered results he himself found hard to believe.

Does Emperor Zhong have prohibitions inside him?

Ding Huan was eager to activate the Great Universe Technique to further investigate where the prohibitions were, but that would be too ostentatious.

Emperor Zhong was significant; if he could be won over, it would be a tremendous asset.

Thinking of this, Ding Huan walked up to Emperor Zhong and stretched out his arm, touching his elbow and saying, "Junior Ding Huan has long admired you, Senior."

In fact, Ding Huan had only heard the name Emperor Zhong today.

This was the gesture of Xianxia respect, and if ignored, it would be deemed a sign of disdain.

If the other party respected you as well, they would stretch out their arm, lowering their elbow to touch yours.

The people inside the Treasure Hall found Ding Huan's actions amusing.

Ding Huan was the First Law Officer, as appointed by Emperor Wushang, but Emperor Zhong was the creator of the Nine Court Immortal Law. How could he possibly hold you, the First Law Officer, in high esteem?

And just now, Ding Huan had recklessly swept around with his Divine Will, clearly showing disrespect to Emperor Zhong.

Expecting Emperor Zhong to return the Xianxia respect to such a person?

Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhong glanced at Ding Huan and actually touched his elbow, performing the Xianxia respect.

The moment their elbows touched, the Great Universe Technique within Ding Huan cycled at incredible speed, completing a full Cycle, before he drew back.

Emperor Zhong gave Ding Huan a profound look before lowering his gaze once more.

Ding Huan retreated to Xing Pan's side, inwardly shocked.

Emperor Zhong's visible cultivation was unharmed, but inside his body, including his Sea of Consciousness, everything was locked by soul prohibitions, and his meridians were covered with dense Prohibition Patterns.

Such a technique, besides himself, Ding Huan, probably no one else could unravel it.

Ding Huan was also clear that even for him, his cultivation would need to be at the level of a Luo Tian Immortal at the very least to do so.

Now, asking him to remove the prohibitions on Emperor Zhong was out of the question.

"Now that everyone has met, let's begin," said Emperor Wushang, glancing at Ding Huan, and then addressing the crowd.

The Flag Leader of the Immortal Law Department, Min Yuan, replayed all the Crystal Balls once again before saying:

"Emperor Zhong, just now Law Officer Ding claimed these pieces of evidence are not fixable. According to Nine Court Immortal Law, General Law Article Six Hundred and Thirty-One, 'When Dao Rhythm evidence is not unique, such evidence is invalid.' This piece of evidence has been rejected."

Emperor Zhong's eyebrows slightly rose, about to speak, when suddenly he heard Ding Huan's voice transmission: "Senior Emperor Zhong, only I can remove the Prohibition Patterns on you."

A flicker passed through Emperor Zhong's eyes; amidst so many in the Treasure Hall, only Ding Huan had noticed the Great Dao Prohibition Patterns within him.

Furthermore, when Ding Huan had transmitted his voice just now, not a single person nearby could detect it?

It didn't take long for Emperor Zhong to confirm that indeed no third party knew about Ding Huan's voice transmission.

This was a truly remarkable young man. If they couldn't eliminate him today, his future would be boundless, potentially surpassing everyone present.

Emperor Zhong fell silent, contemplating two ways he could deal with Ding Huan.

The first method would be to engage with Ding Huan in Law, and then to establish through legal clauses that the evidence Crystal Balls provided just now by Mi Zhong and Chu Xingren were valid.

The second method would be direct, using the special privilege of setting Immortal Laws, he could simply declare the Crystal Ball evidence as valid, countering the fixation evidence.

Now the question arose, did Ding Huan know about the existence of setting laws?

If Ding Huan knew about it, then he would certainly hope that Emperor Zhong would use the special privilege to confirm the evidence of the Crystal Balls.

Because this kind of privilege could only be used once. As long as Ding Huan could counter this special privilege, then he had a chance to win.

If Emperor Zhong didn't use the privilege but instead engaged with Ding Huan in Law, even if Ding Huan won, he could still use the privilege in the end to suppress Ding Huan.

Which method should he use?

Had Ding Huan not transmitted his voice, he would have undoubtedly combined Article Nineteen Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty-One with the Thirty-Eight Thousand and Nine Minor Laws of Court Law to refute Ding Huan's challenge.

After hesitating for a moment, Emperor Zhong decided to test Ding Huan's capabilities.

If Ding Huan lacked the ability and was merely bragging about removing his prohibitions, then it was just empty talk.

Emperor Zhong spoke indifferently, "According to Nine Court Immortal Law, Article Nineteen Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty-One, when evidence can be forged and is not unique, the Dao Rhythm fluctuations can be referenced to corroborate the evidence.

Flag Leader Min, do you have Crystal Ball footage of Lu Renjia elsewhere at the moment?"

"Yes, this is the Crystal Ball footage of Lu Renjia checking recruitment information in the Immortal Court Square," said Min Yuan as he waved his hand and produced a Crystal Ball.

The Crystal Ball was activated, and an image appeared in the Void: Lu Renjia, dressed in an ordinary Immortal Robe, gazed with a weathered face at the recruitment information at the official's booth.

Ding Huan couldn't help but admire; this was indeed the footage of him checking the recruitment information from before, with no fabrication.

"Law Officer Ding, is this person you?" Emperor Zhong asked Ding Huan, tone even.

Ding Huan nodded: "Indeed, it is I."

He felt quite helpless. He had previously claimed that the footages from the Immortal Agriculture Department were fake, easily fabricated. But they simply refused to bring out the Lie Detection Treasure for testing.

What was his current level of cultivation? To challenge a Lie Detection Treasure at the Innate Level was likely unrealistic.

Once it was proved he had lied even once, all his eloquent speeches would be pointless.
