Chapter 1311 The Rules of Free City, Yi Fu's Bottom Line.
Pang Tong slowly spoke, "There are not many rules in Free City, only three."
"The first rule is that no one is allowed to lay hands on the residents of Free City."
"Hmm?"
"City Lord, please let me finish."
Pang Tong continued, "Free City is divided into outsiders and residents. Outsiders... well, basically, all we see are outsiders."
"These outsiders are not protected by Free City; if they kill each other, no one cares. But residents are different. Residents have the aura of Free City on them, and they are protected."
"Aura?"
Chen Fan frowned.
How could he distinguish this?
Pang Tong smiled and said, "The owner of this restaurant is a resident of Free City. City Lord can sense it and will know."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan immediately closed his eyes.
"Buzz."
His divine sense surged out, covering everything like a tidal wave.
In an instant, everything in the restaurant was captured by his perception.
There were many powerful individuals.
The Supremes sensed Chen Fan's probing.
"Hmph."
"Scram."
"Don't court trouble."
Powerful auras spread out, pushing back Chen Fan's divine sense.
Some impatient ones directly tore apart Chen Fan's probing divine sense, extremely agitated.
Chen Fan didn't mind.
He had only projected a small portion of his divine sense, so it was normal for it to be discovered. If it was shattered, who cared?
However…
Among the crowd, a peculiar sensation arose.
This sensation originated from an old man lying on a lounge chair in the back of the restaurant, resting.
The old man did not discover Chen Fan's probing, or perhaps he simply didn't care.
In Chen Fan's perception, there seemed to be a strong deathly intent within the old man's body, as if his body was connected to some mysterious and powerful entity.
Dense deathly energy constantly surged and washed over the old man's body.
At the same time, the power within the old man's body was continuously eroding the deathly energy.
"What is that?"
Chen Fan opened his pupils and looked at Pang Tong.
That deathly energy was exceptionally dense, as if it had surged from hell.
Tian Zai also opened his eyes.
He had also done a quick scan just now.
Unlike Chen Fan's calmness, Tian Zai's eyes were filled with shock.
Pang Tong said in a deep voice, "No one knows what that is. Perhaps... City Lord Yi Fu knows."
Deathly energy, extremely dense deathly energy.
Chen Fan had never seen such concentrated deathly energy before. Even though he could manifest the rules of death, the deathly energy he generated was nowhere near this dense.
Why?
Why was there such dense deathly energy here?
"Is this the proof of being a resident?" Chen Fan asked curiously.
"Yes."
There was no doubt about this.
Only those who contained the deathly energy were protected by Free City.
"Hoo."
Chen Fan exhaled a breath of turbid air.
It seemed this city held a great secret.
He wondered if this secret was related to Yi Fu. No... it must be related to him, otherwise, why would there be the distinction between residents and outsiders?
"What are the other rules?" Chen Fan asked.
"The second rule is that non-residents of Free City are not allowed to leave their rooms at night."
"Hmm?"
What kind of rule was this?
A curfew?
"I asked about this."
Pang Tong said in a deep voice, "Legend has it that at night, countless strange phenomena appear in this city. Everyone who ventures out at night has disappeared."
"Disappeared?"
"No one knows the specific reason. Those who knew never returned."
"Anything else?"
"No, only these two rules."
The rules were as simple as they could be.
Don't leave your room at night, and don't kill Free City residents.
"I understand."
Chen Fan nodded.
As long as he didn't violate these two rules, he should be fine.
Next, it was time to cultivate.
Chen Fan closed his eyes and began to comprehend the rules of heaven and earth.
He wanted to condense imperial energy.
Currently... Grand Perfection of Supreme was no longer enough.
The storm centered around him would only intensify, and more powerful individuals would emerge.
Most importantly, there were still some people who hadn't appeared yet. Someone was bound to covet his ability to summon heroic spirits. They just hadn't shown up yet, and he didn't know when they would strike and deliver a fatal blow. Dafeng Novel Network.
Silence fell as they cultivated.
In the room, the three of them stopped speaking.
...
"Buzz."
The rules appeared, manifesting above Chen Fan's head.
These were his own rules. Others could sense them but not see them. Even if they sensed them, they couldn't touch them. Such were the hidden secrets of heaven and earth.
The rules descended and circled his body.
Chen Fan earnestly sensed this rule of the Great Dao, which belonged exclusively to him.
The Great Dao was mysterious, and his mind merged with the rules.
"Splash splash."
A sound of flowing water reached his ears.
Chen Fan opened his eyes and saw a wide river.
The river surged, churning up countless splashes.
Chen Fan reached out and caught a water droplet.
"Puff."
Instantly, flames ignited.
The water droplet transformed into flames and dripped from his hand into the river, once again becoming water.
He raised his hand and grabbed again.
This time, Chen Fan caught more than ten water droplets.
Then, the water droplets transformed into flames, thick earth, golden swords, lightning, sunlight...
Various attributes appeared chaotically, all erupting in his hand.
After dripping, they vanished into nothingness.
"This..."
Chen Fan was shocked.
No way.
Was each droplet a different attribute?
At this moment, he stood at one end of the river, looking towards its depths... he saw an endless expanse.
His gaze could not see the end.
Ahead, mist obscured the view, and only within a hundred meters was it clear.
"Is this the rule of the Great Dao I have comprehended?" Chen Fan frowned.
Upon closer inspection, he realized.
Compared to the entire river of the Great Dao, the hundred meters he had comprehended was too weak.
His body sank into the river, letting the water wash over him.
Within it, rules of various attributes washed over his body, causing Chen Fan immense discomfort.
He closed his eyes and earnestly began to sense.
The feeling of discomfort intensified.
"What's going on?"
It was extremely difficult here.
It felt like a tangled ball of yarn, with no end in sight, and every part of it was knotted together.
"Do I have to sort it out myself?" Chen Fan began to ponder.
If he could untangle the chaotic rules, would it get better?
With a hint of doubt, Chen Fan decided to try.
This was his rule of the Great Dao, belonging to no one else. Others could not comprehend it unless he died, leaving this rule without an owner, and then others might have a chance to comprehend it.
Occupied by him, it was almost impossible for others to comprehend it.
The Great Dao of heaven and earth, from the day it was created, had an owner, belonging to an individual.
Only after the owner of the Great Dao died, and the Great Dao remained, would others be able to comprehend it. Once it became ownerless, anyone could comprehend it.
To use a spear as an analogy.
Apart from the creator of the Dao, there was no distinction of primary or secondary. At the same time, anyone could comprehend it.
To master it depended on who comprehended it faster, who reached the end first.
At that time, this Great Dao would once again become a Great Dao with an owner. As for others who had comprehended this Great Dao, they would either have to switch paths or work for the first person to comprehend it for their entire lives.
There was no choice; the rules were thus.
