Regarding the taboos of the White Emperor Inner City, Li Yun had actually heard the Yunya Saintess mention them.

He had just been too anxious for a moment and forgotten.

Now that he was being watched by the Eye of Rules, it was naturally impossible for him to flagrantly break the taboos again.

But he still chose to rise into the air again.

This wasn't provocation; rather, he knew that the reason rules were rules was that they were absolute and unwavering, without the slightest deviation.

In the White Emperor Inner City, rising into the air must not exceed one hundred meters; one hundred meters was the taboo.

So, as long as he didn't exceed one hundred meters, it would be fine.

But he didn't dare to go too fast, merely controlling his body and slowly increasing his altitude.

Sure enough—

As his figure rose into the air again, the feeling of being watched became clear once more.

Fifty meters.

Sixty meters.

Seventy meters!

...

Ninety-five meters!

When Li Yun's figure once again reached the final stage, approaching the one-hundred-meter taboo, the Eye of Rules reappeared, floating above his head.

It was as if a real person was looking down from above, staring at him with an extremely angry gaze.

As if to say, if you dare to continue rising into the air, if you dare to violate the taboo again, you will be instantly annihilated!

Li Yun was immediately amused.

The development of the situation was exactly as he had expected.

This Eye of Rules was a bit like the artificial intelligence written by programmers in his previous life using segments of code.

Within the rules, it was cold, rigorous, emotionless, and inflexible.

Imagine.

If this Eye of Rules were truly a living person responsible for supervising the entire city.

Then his second ascent, gradually approaching the one-hundred-meter taboo, would definitely be considered a provocative act. In a fit of rage, the other party might directly take action and suppress him.

They wouldn't care whether he actually touched the one-hundred-meter taboo the second time.

After all, knowingly breaking the rules meant death.

But this Eye of Rules did not immediately take action; instead, it stared intently at him. As long as he didn't cross the final five meters of height, there would be no actual suppression.

It was simply rigid!

However, Li Yun's goal was just to look at the Eye of Rules up close again to speed up the loading of the Eyes of Heaven and Earth; he didn't actually want to provoke the taboo rules of White Emperor City.

Naturally, he wouldn't truly push his ascent to the limit again.

Such provocation was meaningless.

It's better to be safe than sorry, isn't it?

He simply flattened his body and lay directly in mid-air, close to the one-hundred-meter taboo, looking up at the night sky, meeting the gaze of the Eye of Rules, and occasionally glancing at the bright moon higher up, which resembled a white jade plate.

To avoid boredom.

He even pulled out a pot of wine from his Heaven Origin Ring and drank it, which could be said to be utterly comfortable.

In a flash.

A day and a night passed.

The Yuan Heng Holy Son and the Yun Yi Saintess wandered aimlessly in White Emperor City. Unbeknownst to them, they ended up on a city road less than three hundred meters away from Li Yun.

"Yunyi, look quickly... what is that, hiss!"

The Yuan Heng Holy Son, who was about to continue walking forward, suddenly grabbed the Yun Yi Saintess.

The Yun Yi Saintess, completely unprepared for being pulled like this by the Yuan Heng Holy Son, immediately got angry. She turned her head and said angrily, "Yuan Heng, what are you doing? Are you crazy!"

Only then did the Yuan Heng Holy Son realize he had overreacted a bit.

He quickly apologized.

"Sorry, sorry, I got a bit excited for a moment... but quickly look over there, isn't that Li Yun?"

"If it's not Li Yun, who else could it be? Aren't there only the three of us in White Emperor City right now... hmm?"

The Yun Yi Saintess was still a little dissatisfied.

But when she turned her head to look, she was instantly dumbfounded.

Three hundred meters away, in mid-air nearly one hundred meters high.

That fellow Li Yun was like a wine immortal, lying comfortably in mid-air, drinking wine. Above his head were eyes emitting a chilling aura, clearly the Eye of Rules of the White Emperor Inner City.

The Yun Yi Saintess gasped sharply on the spot.

She cried out in surprise, "What is he doing? Has he gone mad?"

The Yun Yi Saintess completely failed to understand Li Yun's actions.

He had clearly violated the taboo once already, yet he dared to rise into the air again and even lay there drinking wine right under the nose of the Eye of Rules.

This was simply provocation.

Wasn't he afraid of death?

The Yuan Heng Holy Son sneered, "You got it right, this bumpkin has definitely gone mad."

"I can probably guess why he did this."

The Yun Yi Saintess was startled for a moment: "Why?"

"Because he's arrogant!"

"Just because of that?"

"Others might not do something so insane for this reason, but think about it, what kind of person is that fellow Li Yun?"

"He's just a bumpkin who came out of Mystic Moon Kingdom. Relying on Holy Maiden Ruo's favor, he became arrogant due to his early success, and even in the Holy Child competition, he directly took on eight opponents, almost making Crown Prince Lietian lose face."

"Such an arrogant person doesn't know what consequences are."

"Suddenly being intimidated by the taboo of the White Emperor Inner City, he couldn't stand it, his mindset became directly unbalanced, and only then did he think of provoking the Eye of Rules in this way to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart."

"Look closely, the position where this guy is lying is still a few meters short of the true one-hundred-meter taboo. He actually knows that if he increases his height further, he will be suppressed by the Eye of Rules, but he just won't cross those last few meters."

"This bumpkin... hehe, he's actually afraid inside!"

The Yun Yi Saintess was dumbfounded: "..."

It took her a while to come back to her senses.

"What you said makes sense, but what's the point of him doing this?"

"That Eye of Rules isn't a real living person, so what's the use of provoking the Eye of Rules?"

"Heh heh, don't you know? Some people are narrow-minded and can't tolerate even a little loss... even if a dog on the side of the road barks at them twice, they have to bark back... This bumpkin is clearly this kind of person."

The Yuan Heng Holy Son looked disdainful.

"To be White Emperor City Saint Children of the same generation as this kind of person is truly our shame. We must find an opportunity to get rid of him."

"We cannot let this idiot ruin the reputation of our White Emperor City."

The Yun Yi Saintess's mouth twitched slightly. She glanced at the utterly comfortable Li Yun again, always feeling that although the Yuan Heng Holy Son's analysis wasn't wrong and made sense, Li Yun didn't seem as exasperated as the Yuan Heng Holy Son claimed.

It was just that she couldn't figure out what other reason, besides provoking the Eye of Rules, was worth Li Yun doing this?

She simply stopped talking.

She directly turned her head away.

It was this turn of the head that caused an expression of extreme shock to appear on the Yun Yi Saintess's face once again.

In the sky in the distance.

At some point, an illusory portal had actually appeared.

Figures were actually emerging from within the portal.

Those were actually figures emitting a strong demonic aura, descending into the White Emperor Inner City through that portal!
