Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2423: Chapter 2424: The Secret of the Skeleton

However, that’s not the main point. Accompanying the Third Princess’s touch, a thread of space-time law power silently emanated from the bone, gradually entering his meridians. This is passive comprehension of the space-time law.

Ye Luo was naturally delighted, opening his mind and allowing the space-time law to flow within his meridians. Gradually, he felt a subtlety of space-time.

He understood that this was enlightenment of the space-time law.

Yet, he became puzzled. Upon comprehending a law to a certain stage, not to mention condensing the seed of the law, at least one should be able to gather the power of the law.

However, based on previous observations of Old Monster Ding, he couldn’t activate the space-time law at all; rather, he seemed like a container storing the space-time law.

The space-time law he utilized had been stored in his body over many years.

Perhaps even Old Monster Ding himself couldn’t comprehend this point.

No wonder the space-time law is passively comprehended. This isn’t about a cultivator understanding the space-time law, or perhaps, this bone doesn’t give the cultivator an opportunity to comprehend the space-time law.

Otherwise, why would his divine sense encounter a strong force of rejection when touching space-time, yet without touching the space fragments, it’s impossible to thoroughly comprehend the space-time law?

This bone definitely has issues! Maybe, it could be a conspiracy!

Of course, Ye Luo also understood the power within this bone. Despite its cracks, it harbors considerable strength.

But Old Monster Ding has never informed him of this, which is strange, given that Old Monster Ding has spent half his life with the bone; how could he not discover the power within it?

Regardless, having the space-time law stored in the body, given the current circumstances, is ultimately beneficial to Ye Luo.

Gradually, in this comfortable environment, Ye Luo fell asleep.

Meanwhile, the Third Princess also gradually became exhausted, collapsed beside Ye Luo, and closed her eyes.

While the Holy City remained tranquil as usual, the Patrol Envoys were like ants on a hot pan.

”Sir, I wonder what orders you have for summoning this old slave!”

An elder respectfully asked in front of the Patrol Envoy.

This Patrol Envoy was naturally the father of the Third Princess.

”My daughter has been outside the Holy City for some time. Go and take care of her for me, and deliver these items to her!”

”Old slave obeys!” The elder bowed respectfully.

No one knew that he was the foremost expert beside the Patrol Envoy. During the turmoil back then, his strength was just slightly weaker than those of the older generation like Yu Ji Zi, yet he didn’t partake in that taboo technique, so his cultivation wasn’t greatly impacted.

Now, he was one of the top experts in the Holy City, though few knew him.

The Patrol Envoy sighed but said nothing further.

...

Ye Luo slowly opened his eyes, suddenly feeling a bit confused.

Due to the environmental reasons around the Holy City, there’s barely a distinction between day and night, nor a concept of time.

Compared to this place, the South Territory at least counted as a normal world.

”This damned place, who knows when I can get out!” Ye Luo muttered.

Then, he noticed the Third Princess lying nearby, her face showing a sickly pallor.

He sighed. In fact, this time the sorrow in the Third Princess’s heart was greater than his; after all, Yu Ji Zi had passed all his lifelong knowledge to her, meaning the Third Princess was Yu Ji Zi’s last disciple!

Just as Ye Luo was about to step out, the Third Princess slowly opened her eyes.

”Sir, how long did I sleep?”

Ye Luo chuckled helplessly, ”I just woke up myself!”

After that, the two fell silent again.

Although the brief rest reduced their inner pain slightly, some pains aren’t erased by time.

”Report to the captain, someone from the Holy City is already waiting outside the tent!” A guard’s voice suddenly came in.

Someone from the Holy City? Ye Luo became puzzled. Logically, the Holy City should have already understood the outside situation, yet at this critical juncture, the only person daring to connect with him would undoubtedly be the Third Princess’s father.

But isn’t this timing just courting disaster?

Upon realizing this, Ye Luo strode out, and the Third Princess, naturally intelligent, grasped the point and her face turned anxious.

Upon exiting the tent, they found an elder standing nearby.

Despite the elder’s lack of imposing aura, there was an unparalleled sense of calmness.

But Ye Luo felt this elder was extraordinary, though upon closer inspection, he had no evidence.

”Uncle Hong, why have you come!”

The Third Princess was startled and rushed over.

Seeing the Third Princess, the elder revealed a faint smile, ”The master sent this old slave to attend to the Princess and deliver these together to her!”

Upon hearing this, the Third Princess’s face grew even paler.

”Then father!”

The elder smiled and shook his head, ”He’s fine; with such significant events occurring, they haven’t the mind to focus on the Holy City, so don’t worry for now!”

But having just experienced grief, the Third Princess’s mind, inevitably, had the taste of a startled bird.

”You must be Ye Luo!”

The elder suddenly turned and called his name directly.

One must know, Ye Luo was now a Guard Captain; even the Patrol Envoy would call him captain.

Ye Luo’s authority was special, even the Patrol Envoy found it troublesome.

But this elder was merely a subordinate of the Patrol Envoy; such behavior was already rude.

Of course, Ye Luo did not feel this way and was somewhat delighted.

This must be a predecessor; the Patrol Envoy sent him to protect the Third Princess.

If he were to salute Ye Luo, it would seem formal; like this, it felt like he recognized him as one of his own.

”Junior greets Senior!” Ye Luo quickly saluted.

Since the elder did not treat him as the Guard Captain, he should regard him as a senior.

The elder smiled faintly, nodding slightly.

But the Third Princess looked at Ye Luo and the elder with a bit of surprise.

”Senior, let’s talk in the tent!” Ye Luo said.

Then, the three returned to the tent.

”Senior, your high-profile departure from the Holy City may cause some trouble!”

As soon as they entered the tent, Ye Luo began to speak with a wry smile.
