Chapter 867: The Bound of Universe’s Creed and The Martial World’s Law

It was apparent that the Effervescent Rimed Orchid was a brilliant artifact. It was not an exaggeration to even call it a precious treasure. Yet, such an item was not rare to Yun Yang; he was even a little disappointed about it.

What could compare to Emmie if recovery and cure was the concern?

The fatty’s face flushed immediately. He was quietly thoughtful for a moment before he replied, “I wanted to buy it for an emergency. No one will complain about such a fantastic item’s excessiveness. I just didn’t expect the danger of other people’s intentions after buying it… and I was chased away from my family as well, losing their support… Sigh, it’s terrible being pursued all this way. Morals these days have declined, and justice is present no more!”

Yun Yang was puzzled.

“Hold on, can you stop talking about justice? Solely based on your cultivation base and capability, how could you survive up until now if someone were to pursue you all the way? How can you still be so lively and able to fight?”

The fatty felt utterly humiliated immediately as he replied vehemently, “What’s wrong with my cultivation base? I’m also an ace cultivator! I’m a solid level two Honor! Do you think the Bound of Universe is brimming with luna – third level Honor cultivators everywhere?”

Yun Yang looked at him with a squint and smiled faintly, not giving any reply.

Flustered, the fatty said, “The imperial court has its regulations, the martial world observes its ethics. The martial world naturally has its own law – if you rob, you can’t kill; if you kill, you can’t rob. This is a traditional law of steel. Who dares disobey it?”

“There’s such a rule? This is new knowledge to me!”

Yun Yang was surprised, wondering to himself. Robbing and killing were usually connected. If one only robbed and left the victim unscathed, would the robber not be waiting for the victim to seek revenge? How could there be such a rule here?

Listening to what Yun Yang had said, the fatty was stumped. He looked at Yun Yang as if gazing at an immortal; the fatty then stuttered, “You – this isn’t right… Why do you sound like an inexperienced chick?”

“Inexperienced chick? You’re the inexperienced chick – your whole family is made up of inexperienced chicks… I’ve indeed just arrived at this realm; so what is it to you?” Yun Yang retorted with a glare.

He was rather sensitive when others called him inexperienced, first-timer or anything along those lines. Although he understood what the fatty meant by calling him an inexperienced fledging, it was purely out of instinct that he retorted angrily.

The fatty’s mouth widened into a round black hole as he used a rather hysterical tone like he was going to die from the shock and said, “You – you just ascended?”

He then thumped his chest.

“A newbie who just ascended… defeated me? Did me good? How useless I am…”

Yun Yang continued.

“Today’s the first day I’ve gotten here.”

As his shoulders sank and his head hung low, the fatty seemed like he did not want to say a word more for the remainder of his confidence was crushed. At this moment, the frustration and humiliation he felt were even more than the fear he had for death.

It was too embarrassing. He had been defeated by someone who just ascended…

“Alright, fatty, you –”

“I’m not fatty! I’m Qian Duoduo! My name is Qian Duoduo! This is my real name! It’s a real name, alright! I’m Qian Duoduo, Qian Duoduo is me!” the fatty screamed aggressively.

“Okay, okay, fatty. Let me tell you, I know this, whatever orchid is yours. I don’t have any use for it even if I take it. Let’s do it this way. As long as you give me an introduction to the small and big matters of the Bound of Universe, like the martial world law or the more influential schools and clans – as long as I’m satisfied with it, I’ll give the flower back to you and let you leave. What do you think?” Yun Yang stated his terms clearly.

This fatty looked like he had reached his limit. If Yun Yang played around some more, he might overdo it. Furthermore, he was immediately aware that this realm was very distinctive from the Tianxuan Continent when he heard the rule of either robbery or murder. If such a rule were to exist, there must be more similar ones.

Once they were violated, it would usually result in death. It was better for him to find out about them clearly. As for the fatty offending him, it was no big deal – he could beat him up whenever he was upset…

“Such a dream item – such a treasured gem… You’re willing to return it to me?” the fatty asked in disbelief as he looked up to Yun Yang. Suddenly, something popped into his thoughts as he turned pale and shuddered, saying, “I was being an absolute idiot just now… I thought you were from the Bound of Universe, rob without murder… F*cking luck… You’re actually a newbie, oblivious to any law and rule. What if you had stabbed me? How pointless my death would have been then… I wouldn’t even have a place to lodge a complaint… Oh, how lucky I am…”

Yun Yang rolled his eyes.

“Stop with your nonsense. Give me your answer directly. Trust me when I say I’d be brutal and let you sob to your heart’s content right here.”

“Alright, alright!” the fatty answered hastily, “I’ll definitely tell you everything I know. Once you listen to my introduction, I guarantee that you’ll be a Bound of Universe pro in a maximum of three days. I guarantee that it’s worth it and you’ll surely be satisfied!”

Truthfully, the fatty was quite boastful with his words. With Yun Yang’s understanding of the Bound of Universe, he knew how large the area was and how dense the popularity Bound of Universe possessed. It also had many forces. To convey this information to him within three days was basically impossible!

In spite of this, what surprised Yun Yang was that the fatty was not tooting his horn. He was really well versed with the Bound of Universe’s information, the facts and figures leaving his mouth like seasoned stories as he recounted them.

“To roam the Bound of Universe’s martial world, one must know its celestial system and laws and obey them. It’s not to say that you must strictly adhere to them, but you mustn’t let anyone pick out a tangible mistake – at least on the surface. First, no lechery – death awaits if anyone commits this sin, no exception!”

“Second, each career has its rules, robbers have ethics as well. The Bound of Universe itself is a super martial world. There are countless walks of life in this realm and each profession possesses a body of law of its own. Take for example robbery… Like the assassins… As for the bandits… As well as the sects…”

The fatty delivered an elaborated speech on the diverse variety of life in the realm. Parched, he had already emptied three water bags but his excitement was evident in his increasingly ruddy self. These were things that the elders would usually harp on about to the younger ones before letting them off to the martial world alone. He was the one being educated and it came as a pleasant surprise that he had the opportunity to impart such knowledge to someone else. Of course, he would seize the chance and savor it – it was more than gratifying!

“Assassins are commissioned to kill. You take someone’s money to put an end to their issue – but you can only take the payment. The patron pays, you kill the target. So ends the process. Even if the target is incomparably wealthy, you mustn’t take even a cent from him. Otherwise, you’ll die!”

“Bandits camp at territories or they steal – cough, it’s the same rules. You take the money and not the life, or you take the life and not the money. If money’s what you’re after, you leave ten percent of chance. Even if the victim’s fortune is overflowing and you’re able to bag it all, you can only take, at most, ninety percent. You must leave ten percent untouched.”

“This is what they call to bind the sack before it is full.”

“As for duels in the martial world, if single combat is agreed upon, any side who violates the agreement will have to die even if they won. There’s no exception to this.”

“Sects and schools have their regulations too, but no one usually dies from breaking the rules despite receiving punishment. However, the principles are acknowledged publicly in the martial world; only death awaits you once you go against it! There no such thing as second chances.”

“The Bound of Universe’s celestial punishment needs only one strike of lightning to wipe out a top-notch expert.”

“Take a face-off for example; when the celestial punishment points at the violator, the area covered doesn’t stop at the violator alone – anyone who partakes in the battle will be held accountable, without exception.”

Yun Yang was immersed in the tale, feeling like he had really stepped into a whole new world.
