Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 1636: Another World of Immortals

Booooom.

Lu Yun’s consciousness operated combat arts with a fury and raised a mental storm within five thousand kilometers. It instantly froze all of the beasts ravaging the land. They toppled over—dead.

……

“Eh?!” Xia Xu was still holding the flask of gold jade and felt a gentle breeze brush past him before the dying cries of thousands of beasts traveled into his ears.

He looked around wildly, at a complete loss.

“Your Majesty!!” An impassioned voice rang through the air. “Your Majesty, the beast tide has receded. No, the beast tide has been destroyed!”

“It’s, it’s been taken care of? Just like that?” Xia Xu’s jaw dropped and his eyes snapped to the top of the altar. He stared for a long time before coming back to his senses. “My deepest thanks to the august immortal for saving the nation!”

He dropped to his knees and kowtowed fervently to the charcoal Lu Yun.

“Thank you to the august immortal for saving our nation!” Beneath the altar, Situ Lang and the soldier that’d come with the report also fell to their knees and banged their heads against the ground.

“Bring another ten flasks of this sap to me.” Lu Yun’s will floated upward and reverberated in Situ Lang’s mind. At the same time, the preceptor’s wounds were spontaneously healed. His missing arm regrew and his cultivation took a step forward, breaking through the bottleneck that had stymied him for a hundred years!

Waves of shock rose in his heart—this wasn’t the methods of an immortal!

Situ Lang hailed from a notable faction that could communicate with cultivators of the world of immortals. His was one of very select few who had the privilege to do so in Myriadsea World. Thus, he had a general idea of what immortals were capable of.

They could heal his injuries with a wave of their hand and regenerate his arm, but they couldn’t do so with a simple whisper of consciousness.

“Yes… understood!” He flattened himself against the ground and responded with trepidation. At the same time, he was also rather resigned. It’d almost costed his life to obtain that single flask of sap from the Immortal Myriadtree. If he was to go again… he probably wouldn’t be coming back.

As he woefully considered his future, he discovered that there was a bit of silver radiance twinkling from his personal sword.

“Go on, then,” Lu Yun’s will boomed again. He didn’t know the language of this world, but he’d easily picked it up when his consciousness swept through the premises.

“Thank you, great immortal!” Situ Lang was overjoyed. He knew what the silver radiance meant—it was the immortal’s own strength!

……

“Myriadsea World?” Lu Yun digested blankly. “Is this a world in the fourth realm? But they cultivate immortal dao here, and it’s a version that’s exactly the same as that of the world of immortals!”

He was still physically weak, but his consciousness was on the road to recovery. When he blanketed the nearby five thousand kilometers with his mind, he’d immediately sensed the presence of immortal dao.

The humans of this world cultivated an immortal dao that was divided into the qi, core, spirit, and void realms. It was a system that was exactly the same as the world of immortals. In fact, Lu Yun half suspected that he’d fallen into a world overseen by the world of immortals…

But he knew that this wasn’t the world of immortals he knew, and that the world that Xia Xu had muttered about wasn’t a reference to his home. It was another world of immortals that he wasn’t aware of.

What was most stunning of all was that there was an Immortal Myriadtree here!

The Immortal Myriadtree was the original source of immortal dao. That had held true even in the mythological realm and eras far older.

“I should make a full recovery if I have another ten flasks of sap.” Lu Yun quietly operated formula dao to ascertain the current situation. Constant nurturing from the immortal dao had partially mended his consciousness. He could just barely manage to operate formula dao so that he could derive the karmic relationships around him.

This was the formula destiny branch of the dao. It’d further enhanced his overall command of formula dao when it emerged, and Lu Yun could now infer any karmic repercussions having to do with him.

“There is time here, so that makes it different from the Central Hongmeng. Ah, good, this world’s flow of time is the same as my own. I haven’t traveled to the past or a future era. I’m just in a corner of the fourth realm.”

Lu Yun relaxed slightly at his findings. Though he couldn’t determine where he was and why this was a world of cultivation with a world of immortals above it, it was good enough to know that he was still in the time period that he belonged in.

He was traveling through the Boundless Planes for trials and experience, as well as teaching formula dao to others. It didn’t matter where he tempered himself. As long as he was alive, his Yama Kings and Infernum would be fine. Qing Yu and the little fox would also be at ease and continue about their business.

“This world… can potentially be the foundation for the immortal dao to traverse the fourth realm! If I can direct the immortal dao in the Central Hongmeng into this world, I can build a bridge of immortal dao to the fourth realm!”

He continued his calculations and heaved another sigh of relief to find that there was no formula dao in this world’s immortal dao. If even formula dao had been present, he’d have to start questioning the basics of his existence.

“But the cultivators here are much stronger than the ones in the world of immortals. They’re on par with immortals in the chaos cultivation realm,” Lu Yun gasped sharply at the discovery.

“So… what level are their immortals then? Hang on a second, am I sitting on a… corpse?”

He suddenly realized that the rock hard thing supplying goodwill to him over the past month seemed to be… an immortal’s body!

“I see! I’m afraid that this kingdom’s ruler and preceptor mistook me for the unlucky bastard under my butt!”

The corpse he was lying on was most likely an immortal from their world of immortals. He’d just arrived on the altar when Lu Yun appeared out of the sky and smashed him comatose. The goodwill from before had been prayers from the Truecloud citizens to this immortal.

“He was an immortal, but he was at most on par with common rank cultivators in the Hongmeng. He might’ve been saved after a World Manifest like me crashed onto him, but that would require prompt medical attention. After a month… he’s deader than a doornail,” Lu Yun sighed with regret.

“So their immortals have to go through anti-reversion passages to travel to a lower world? Don’t they have protocols of ascent and descent?

“Ah, yes, while immortal dao exists in this Myriadsea World, it doesn’t rule the world. Those beasts cultivated monster spirit dao, and it’d developed to an extremely sophisticated level!”

His mental storm had shredded their souls because of this difference. As an immortal, he would always stand on the side of immortal dao when it clashed with monster spirit dao.

Fascinating... how did these worlds develop then?
