Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 1734: Five Hundred Years

Qing Buyi had issued a blatant threat. Lu Yun blinked dazedly—he’d always felt that Qing Buyi and Chen Xiao came from mysterious origins as they’d demonstrated uncommon strength in the world of immortals. But after such a long period of time, he’d forgotten about the two. Even his future self had overlooked them when he journeyed through thirty-three cycles.

It wasn't until he traveled to the Abyssal Tomb that he heard their names again, and it seemed that everyone held a different opinion of the duo. Regardless, most agreed that they were lawless layabouts.

Chen Xiao was missing and Qing Buyi had come to threaten a powerhouse beyond sequence?

Lu Yun had just set foot into third level sequence and couldn’t yet see how many levels there were, but the first declaration out of Qing Buyi’s mouth was a promise of death!

The will of the Esteemed Nebula stood over his Golden Dao Palace, looking down over everything with a frosty glare. It was as if a gaze from his primary body pierced through the void to reach this part of the Land of Reincarnation.

Finally, he and the Golden Dao Palace faded away. The creatures of darkness swiftly retreated back to their normal habitat as well. Thanks to Qing Buyi’s appearance, the disturbance had been taken care of for the moment.

However, an immense weight sat in the pit of Lu Yun’s stomach. He had a very unsettling hunch that this was just the opening act. If the Esteemed Nebula could send his will here, so could other experts beyond sequence!

He didn’t know how many worlds of sequence there might be in the outside realm, but the one Lu Yun owned was a massive slice of cake. Everyone wanted a piece. He hadn’t had much ambition regarding the world of sequence at first, but if he wanted something to support the orders of the fourth realm and end the neverending loops, he needed to establish a world of immortal dao sequence.

His ultimate plan was to combine Fairylands with the world of sequence so that the world of sequence would become a true world of immortals in both character and name. Both he and Mo Yi felt the same way, which was why he’d given the core essence of the world to Qing Yu so she could manifest the world of immortal dao sequence from her heavenly palace.

……

“Big bro-in-law, long time no see! Where have you been sowing your oats lately?” Lu Yun cleared his mind of all thought and walked up to Qing Buyi with a hearty guffaw.

“Bah, all you do is cause trouble for me, brat!” Qing Buyi glared back at him. “Chen Xiao and I slaved away for hundreds of years in that world of sequence and was about to take it when you came outta nowhere and turned everything upside down!”

Lu Yun paused with surprise.

“We’d already found a scapegoat, but didn’t get a chance to use them. And you couldn’t even be bothered to wipe your ass clean after getting the world. Those bastards saw right through you!” Qing Buyi continued mercilessly berating him.

The smirk slid off Lu Yun’s face and he looked sheepishly at the ground.

“But at least you’ve got a heart and gave the world of sequence to Little Yu. She’s become the Dao Sovereign of the immortal dao in deed and name after creating the world of immortal dao sequence.” Qing Buyi clapped Lu Yun’s shoulder with satisfaction only at the last point.

The young man continued to remain quiet. He had the sinking feeling that he had indeed done many things wrong. If it’d been up to Chen Xiao and Qing Buyi, those from the outside realm wouldn’t have seen through anything and wouldn’t have suspected him in the first place. Everything would be neatly taken care of.

But it was all too late now.

“Chen Xiao’s busy wiping your ass for you,” Qing Buyi harrumphed at Lu Yun. “Don’t worry, although those things from the dark have the balls to come here, those cowards of the outside realm don’t have the guts to.”

Lu Yun remained silent, his head still tilted up to where the Esteemed Nebula had disappeared. Qing Buyi scowled.

“They won’t dare come here if I say so! Cultivate at peace!” He ground his teeth. “I’m going to twist that Nebula’s arm!”

His cheeks were flushed with emotion. There was no such thing as someone slapping his face, only his face slapping someone’s hand!

Qing Buyi hadn’t kept his voice down. Almost all of the powerhouses of the fourth realm were gathered on Mount Astronomia and just realizing what’d happened over the past two thousand years.

A world of sequence, a world of immortal dao sequence that would give rise to sequences of the great dao!

Many sequence experts were survivors from the original Hongmeng era, so they had a deep understanding of the sequences of dao. Some even knew that Dongfang Mo had received orders from the original emperor to establish immortal dao sequence in the world of sequence.

They’d never heard from him since; it was like he’d never existed. They’d only learned pieces of what’d occurred after he vanished from public view with his latest reappearance.

Their senses had told them correctly that a true world of immortal dao sequence had appeared. However, they would never forsake their own path to switch to immortal dao. Unless there came a day in which immortal dao traversed the entire fourth realm and turned all denizens into cultivators of the new dao would they walk the immortal dao path.

“I will safeguard Mount Astronomia for you for five hundred years. I’m leaving after that.” Qing Buyi looked at Lu Yun and then at Lu Qing. “You still need to call me uncle even though you’re not my sister’s son. You have unparalleled potential and were born beneath the chaos sun and moon. That granted you an innate control over them, so I will teach you during this time.”

……

While the disturbance from the darkness had receded from Mount Astronomia, undercurrents surged and ebbed in the fourth realm.

The world of immortal dao sequence was open and it was a foregone conclusion that immortal dao would eventually oversee the realm. But for certain people, this was an opportunity. If they could seize the world of sequence, they would become the master of immortal dao and its Dao Sovereign!

Despite their ambitions, everything was also on hold for five hundred years. With a monster such as Qing Buyi holding down the fort at Mount Astronomia, everyone in the fourth realm had to stay put in their places, to say nothing of the darkness. Whoever put a toe out of line would die with no recourse.

Although the general public didn’t know who he was or how strong he was, one shout from him had been enough to send the golden figure and darkness into retreat. That was indicative enough of everything.

Lu Yun wasted no time and darted into the Disordered Hell to leer evilly at Xie Tianxun. Moran Dongning cackled off to the side as well. Their prey stood with his arms across his chest and regarded Lu Yun fearfully.

“You’re one of that Nebula’s men, aren’t you?” Lu Yun sniffed at Xie Tianxun. “Out with it, what’s going on? I see a wisp of death qi on you, as if you’ve died and come back to life.”

The man set his jaw and looked like the world would end first before he spoke.

“Even the Esteemed Nebula’s run off, so what are you trying to act tough for?” Lu Yun snorted. “I’ll grant your wish since you want to die so badly. Dongning, use this talisman to record everything that’s about to happen.”

He tossed a talisman that could record images to Moran Dongning.

“Ooh, alright!” She nodded in anticipation of a good show.

“...I’ll tell you what you want to know!” How would Xie Tianxun not understand what was about to happen? Death wasn’t the worst thing sometimes—it was becoming the laughingstock of others in death.

Moran Dongning? Of course he knew who she was. She was the little princess of the Morans, and she knew him as well. At the very least, she knew what he looked like and who he was.

“That bastard Chu Xingran ambushed me! I would be dead if I didn’t have a Lifeline Talisman on me!”
