"Sword Law, sword domination."

At the transportation platform of the Fengian Sage city, the ancient Jian family warrior spoke as instantly after, multiple spirit-looking swords materialized, suspending over the heads of Lian Zu's group. Without even allowing the group to prepare, the spirit-looking golden swords downwardly launched at the group of five at fast speeds as they aimed for their heads. But before the spirit swords could land on their heads, they instantly shattered as if they crashed against an invisible barrier.

"As an elite warrior of an ancient family, don't you think it's a bully to attack someone lower in cultivation than you? Or are you irritated because what I asked had some truth?"

"Since you consider yourselves weak, you are unfit to question the actions and character of the strong. And it will be extremely beneficial if you kept your pointless opinions to yourselves."

'These guards are quite calm; as pawns of an ancient family, it's almost natural if they killed someone simply for staring at them, let alone mention an insulting statement about their masters. But what's with their nonchalant reactions? It's as if they have some sense of rational thinking instead of acting on impulses. It seems psychological attacks will be useless; let's get it over with then."

Lian Zu thought as he doubtfully calculated the situation. Usually, saying anything insulting about powerful families or institutions will leave their weaklings reacting with enraged temperaments. But the reactions of these ancient family guards were uncommon and unexpected. If only we high-dimensional beings could tell Lian Zu that it was all because Patrick had reconstructed the entire plot of the GOAS Omniverse, making every fictional character think rationally and realistically, then he wouldn't be this caught off guard.

And besides, these cultivators are the elite warriors from an ancient family; if it were that easy to trigger them emotionally, then they wouldn't be deserving of the title of an elite force from an ancient family now, would they?.

Lian Zu slowly drifted in the air as he approached and stood on the platform casually; he then spoke calmly and unworried, his words not slightly considering that he was speaking to an elite warrior from the Ancient Jian family.

"Keep my friends out of this. This fight is between us, and I would appreciate it if you didn't attempt to attack them again. Or else, being an ancient family warrior won't even save you from me killing you."

Silence!

Silence permeated the surroundings as the majority of cultivators in the crowd reacted with opened-mouths, while some had calm and unreactive faces. But the entire crowd reacted with deadly silence, as no one could have imagined there would be someone who had the guts to challenge and even threaten an ancient family member, even if they were servants. But this man was challenging an 'elite warrior' of the Jian ancient family, who ranks third among the nine ancient families.

'Is this lad stupid, or could it be that he hasn't comprehended who these warriors are subservient to? In the Immortal Realm, the nine ancient families are like the pillars of power, holding the entire realm in order. It would be weird for one not to know the ancient symbols of the families, especially that of the third most powerful ancient family in the Immortal Realm, the Ancient Jian family.'

The elderly lady hovering not far from Lian Zu's group thought as she gazed scrutinizingly at Lian Zu. She then softly spoke.

"Let's see if his strength matches his arrogant words."

On the platform, the ancient family warrior stared at Lian Zu's expression as he spoke with an impassive tone.

"You are quite courageous; I hope your skills compensate for your arrogance."

The warrior spoke as the next moment, he vanished, disappearing from his location. Seeing this, Lian Zu quickly raised his arms in a blocking stance, already expecting an incoming attack; as expected, the warrior flashed-appeared before Lian Zu with a clenched fist as he heavily punched Lian Zu's crossed arms. Due to the punch's impact, Lian Zu got sent back some distance as he back-skated, his feet creating a scrapped earth on the ground.

But before he could recover, the black-robed warrior instantly appeared behind him as he sent another kick attack, aiming for Lian Zu's head. But using his right while supporting it with his left, Lian Zu blocked the kick attack, but the force impact again sent him distances from his location. But before he could recover again, the ancient Jian family's warrior flashed and appeared in the air as he raised his right hand in the sky and summoned tens of long white spirit swords.

Seeing the swords aimed at him, Lian Zu firmly clenched his right fist as he coated it with gold energy, making his fist ten times bigger. He darted towards the ancient warrior and his pointed swords while his fist accumulated more energy from the surroundings, making his right fist continuously larger.

"Heavenly mountain fist, sky obliterating punch."

Swoosh! Boom!

A Series of swoosh sounds echoed as they were then met with a loud booming sound, creating an even louder exploding sound. Lian Zu's fist attack clashed with the ancient warrior's tens of swords as both attacks caused a series of exploding sounds and even caused a change of color in the sky. The exploding attacks made a portion of the sky golden.

Then, Lian Zu's figure flew through the explosion as he flashed above the ancient warrior; hands clasped together, Lian Zu heavily hit attacked the warrior's head as it sent the warrior crashing down the earth. Another booming sound resonated in the surroundings as the warrior heavily crashed on the transportation platform.

This series of combat exchanges left the crowd baffled. First, they were surprised that an unknown man was keeping up with an elite warrior from an ancient family. And second, he was able to even able to overtake the ancient warrior in their combat exchanges.

But while the crowd had baffled and stunned expressions, the five remaining warriors from the ancient Jian family, didn't have the slightest freckle on their faces expressing any tinge of surprised or baffled emotions; instead, they watched the fight with barren faces as if they weren't even taking the brawl serious. To them, the fight wasn't even worth watching.

From the dust where the ancient warrior crashed, golden lights began radiating as the ancient warrior spoke with a serious and condemning tone.

"Indeed, it appears your skills do compensate for your arrogance. But let's see how far they take you, shall we? 'Ancient Order,' ancient golden sword."

As the warrior spoke, the skies over the Fengian Sage city began swirling as they slowly produced golden light rays.

"Isn't that the secret annihilation technique of the warriors of the Ancient Jian family? I can't believe I'm finally seeing it after so long."

An old male cultivator spoke as he stared at the skies with an open mouth; many other cultivators at the scene also reacted with similar expressions as they watched the magnificent display of the golden rays in the sky. The elderly lady leading the group of women wearing white attires squintingly gazed at the accumulating clouds as she expressed a helpless sigh.

"Looks like things are getting serious; I should intervene."

But just when the elderly lady was about to take action, a male figure was already in the sky. This male figure was a bare-footed old man wearing a white robe soaked partially with blood. The old man was pale-skinned and floated at a guesstimated height of 5' 10". The grey-haired, bare-footed old man casually floated beside the chaotic swirling golden clouds with hands behind him while expressing a bored countenance.

Looking down on Lian Zu, who was below the swirling clouds with clenched fists readied to counter the golden clouds, the old man spoke with a passive tone.

"It's been a boring day; I rather not see it get any worse. So why don't you little boys stop with your little charade, huh!"

With the old man finishing his sentence, he casually shifted his gaze to the accumulated clouds as the chaotic and powerful attack from the ancient warrior instantly dispersed; it was as if the old man was in control of the golden clouds. The accumulated clouds dispersed, and the old man was the only being remaining in the sky above Lian Zu.

Seeing this scene, the crowd went into another dead silence as everyone stared at the floating old man. The ancient warrior and his comrades expressed frowning expressions as they watched the old man casually vanquish the ancient order clouds, but that was all. They weren't even alarmed that the old man had an unscalable cultivation base, indicating he was an unknown powerhouse.

Lian Zu also stared at the old man, but as if realizing something, he immediately cupped his hands as he spoke with a respectful tone.

"This junior pays respect to senior; I hope senior forgives this junior for his impertinence."

"..., what is your name, kid?"

"This junior is Lian Zu, and I have no affiliations-

Hmm!"

Without even allowing Lian Zu to finish his words, the old man grunted as if saying he already knew. In the next uncalculatable instant, the old man was standing next to the ancient warrior in the crumbles where he crashed. The old man then spoke to the ancient warrior casually and unseriously.

"Give this worthless old man some face and allow everyone to enter the auction, will you!; it will at least help decrease my boredom."

'This..., what is this feeling? Why can't I say anything? I can't even refute his words. What is happening?'historical

The ancient warrior painfully thought as he stared at the bored face of the old man. He couldn't even think properly about the old man's words, let alone speak.

Without allowing the ancient warrior to answer his question, the grey-haired old man smiled while maintaining his bored eyes. Turning to the thousands of cultivators in the scene, the old man spoke with a bored tone.

"You all can enter, but note that your safety depends entirely on yourselves. Very well, go on."

The crowded cultivators were in a stupor as they watched this unknown old man casually command the elite warriors of the ancient Jian family, completely overriding the commands of the Ancient Jian family masters. But after hearing the latter part of the old man's sentence, the crowd of cultivators cheered as they synonymously cupped their hands to the old man, showing their respect and gratitude for the old man's generosity.

Then, hundreds, if not thousands, of cultivators began rushing into the activated sword gate as they rushed past the ancient warriors, who didn't even attempt to stop the incoming cultivators. The leading guard from the ancient Jian family stared at his comrades as he nodded, signaling them not to interfere.

'This carefree and bored temperament, could it be that he is the 'BORED OVERLORD?' that's impossible. Even in my previous life, being one of the top five strongest beings in the Immortal Realm, I never even saw the bored Overlord because of his nomadic nature; I didn't even know which continent he was overseeing. It looks like things just got messier; if I'm correct and he's indeed the bored Overlord, then the chances of me getting that Item- huh?'

Lian Zu was having an internal monologue when the bored old man suddenly turned and looked in his direction. Without hesitation, Lian Zu instinctually widened his eyes as he clenched his fists; he assumed a serious expression as he assumed that the old man could indeed be the unknown 'BORED OVERLORD' and could have heard Lian Zu's thoughts and discovered his secret, being a reincarnate.

'The 'Heaven Sealing Scroll is constantly protecting my mind,' it's impossible even to detect my transmission messages, let alone my private thoughts, could it-'

"Brother Lian? Is everything alright?"

Just when Lian Zu was submerged in his cautious thoughts, a girl's voice sounded from behind him, causing him to escape from his thoughts. The girl who interrupted Lian Zu was one of the girls in Lian Zu's group. Seeing Lian Zu's cautious expression, one of the men from his group asked.

"Martial brother, Lian, do you happen to know that old man?"

"..., No, I don't; I was just baffled how he was able to rescind the ancient Jian family masters' orders."

"Yeah, this just shows that even the Ancient families have people they dare not offend-wait, brother Lian, is the old man looking at us?"

Noticing the old man's gaze, the man in Lian Zu's group spoke, causing the others to stare at the grey-haired old man. But then, the old man physically turned his whole body as he faced Lian Zu's group; on the old man's face wasn't the expression of boredom but curiosity.

"No, he is not looking at us; he is looking at something..., above us?."

Lian Zu spoke as he simultaneously turned to look in the sky above him; the others followed. And indeed, there was something above Lian Zu's group, or rather, someone, or more precisely, a group of people hovering in the skies far above Lian Zu's group. Seeing the group, like the old man, Lian Zu's group also expressed the same curious expressions as they scrutinizingly stared at the group up in the sky.

Up in the sky was a group of six beings emitting sacred ambiances. Among the group were four women and two men. Hovering below the other five entities was a fairy-like maiden wearing a palatial blue dress with two long blue bracelets fittingly wrapped around her wrists. Above the blue-dressed maiden was a tall male figure wearing an unknown black attire, unfitting to the cultivation world. And above the male figure were three goddesses wearing transcendental dresses and godly accessories, such as bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and hair accessories.

Like Lian Zu's group, some other cultivators also noticed the arrived group as they drew the attention of the others. Some cultivators even stopped rushing for the sword gate as they stood to watch the heavenly beings in the distant sky. Being the first to notice this group, the old man kept his gaze on them as his curiosity grew even worse; he saw the order in which the arrived group floated in the sky as he tried to detect the cultivation level of the lowest person, the fairy maiden in the magnificent blue dress, but to his astonishment, he couldn't sense anything, not even their presences.

Everyone looked past the fairy maiden in the blue dress, the tall red-haired man in the unknown attire, and the three godly beauties and finally landed their eyes on the being floating above the others. This unknown being, who happened to be a male, sat on a shining sun-like throne. This unknown man's face couldn't be seen as the scintillating sun-like throne prevented the cultivators below from even his attire.

But the next moment, the space before the arrived group cracked and shattered, revealing the purple chaotic void and uncontrollable swirling Qi coming from the space-void. The next moment, the group wasn't there anymore. They were gone; the arrived group was gone without even approaching or entering the void.

This scene left every cultivator at the scene dumbfounded; the elderly lady, Lian Zu and his group, some other powerful groups, the Fengian Sage city lord, the ancient Jian family warriors, and the rogue cultivators, everyone couldn't believe their eyes. Even the unknown old man with the bored expression could not keep his composure; without hesitation, he was hovering in the sky where the group was. Stretching his right hand, the old man made a grabbing motion as the space began folding as if conforming to the old man grabbing it.

The next moment, the old man completely grabbed the space as it got sucked into the old man's palms.

Even after possessing the space, the old man still couldn't quench his curiosity. But it wasn't only him; the other cultivators and powerhouses who witnessed the previous scene also couldn't help but maintain their baffled or stunned expressions. But if there were one thing I can say they will all agree to say, it would be.

"WHO WERE THEY?!"

The next moment, the old man vanished as he appeared at the realm sword gate, leading to the Ancient Jian family's sacred realm, and without the slightest hesitation, he vanished into the activated sword gate.

In the sky, Lian Zu hovered before his group with an extremely baffled expression as he intensely stared downwards. His eyes shifted left and right, trying to decipher or comprehend what he just saw. But then, one of the men in his group asked.

"Big brother Lian? Who were those people?"

"...., I don't know. For the first time in my life, I...DON'T...KNOW!"
