Necropolis Immortal

The group that Lu Yun saved in the Firmament Prison didn’t go to the Myriad Spirit Grand Supreme. Most of them sought succor in nearby Huangpang. At first, they just wanted to hide out in the major world while they digested their gains from the Firmament Prison.

But when it came to light that the immortal dao didn’t require the forging of a dao palace in order to become a supreme, many of them chose to switch to that great dao. They were now all supremes under the immortal dao, ones without dao palaces.

While they weren’t as perverse as Lu Yun—he could smack a high supreme to death with one slap, after all—they were better than ordinary supremes with dao palaces. Without the burden of a dao palace, they could freely come and go from secret locales in the chief worlds.

All of a sudden, immortal dao was the great dao de jour in the chief worlds. Increasing numbers of low ranked cultivators joined it when the spirit paper propelled momentum to new heights. There were suddenly immortals to be found all throughout the realm.

The various factions of the chief worlds didn’t care about this new trend. A mess of bottom feeders wouldn’t amount to much in the eyes of these ancient factions deeply rooted in their beliefs. These low ranked cultivators would have to wander through the various zones of danger in the chief worlds if they didn’t cultivate immortal dao, searching for that tiny bit of hope that might help them advance. No one cared about their survival.

As ferocious as the immortal dao seemed to be and despite blazing bright in the realm after claiming three hundred and sixty-five major worlds, it was but a moment of short-lived glory. Its demise was set in stone the moment the grand supremes and powerful high supremes returned from the tomb of the empyrean supreme.

There was a world of sequence in the World of Immortals and treasures so valuable that they sent people into a frenzy. Hence, the current World of Immortals was just wallowing in its last bit of prosperity before its demise.

Therefore, no one paid attention to it and permitted it to develop as it would. There would be others who took that realm to task later.

……

“You’re going to create another Land of Reincarnation right now?” Yun Yi looked at Lu Yun with surprise.

After Qiu Feishan imparted the true meaning behind the Land of Reincarnation, Lu Yun got it in his head to recreate the land that he’d ended.

“Yes,” he nodded. “Senior Leize and the others have yet to recover from their injuries and are constantly fighting the call from the tomb. They’ll probably head there before long, but they’ll die without a doubt if they do!”

He looked at Yun Yi, who inclined her head back at him.

“None of us thought that the Land of Reincarnation would end at this time. It’ll take the power of reincarnation from hell dao to create another one. My father once saw all of this come to be, which is why he sent the god of Mount Tai to exert control over hell and use its strength to manifest the Land of Reincarnation.”

Lu Yun frowned faintly at Yun Yi. Her father was the primordial heavenly emperor—the empyrean supreme buried in the tomb. From Lu Yun’s perspective, the heavenly emperor was very similar to the original emperor—the current Meng Wang.

Yun Yi could read the same from Lu Yun’s emotions.

“There needed to be an overseer for the Land of Reincarnation and someone to end it, so Meng Wang filled the role. His real name is indeed Meng Wang and he was my father’s last disciple. Strictly speaking, he is my senior brother,” Yun Yi said.

Lu Yun chuckled ruefully with a nod. The original emperor had been an intrepid leader and a brilliant strategist, the protagonist of his era. The end of his life had been almost uncanny—he’d simply vanished one day.

It would seem now that it’d all been preplanned. If it wasn’t for Lu Yun’s sudden rise, the person to end the Land of Reincarnation and be the master of that realm would be the emperor of the original Hongmeng.

“My cultivation level isn’t enough, what about Tianqi?” Lu Yun thought for a moment. “No, Tianqi won’t do either. If he recreates the Land of Reincarnation, the god of Mount Tai will seize the opening to refine him.”

“Then we’ll have the mountain god do it again!” Yun Yi said. “He’s in the tomb of the empyrean supreme right now, I’ll get him back here.”

“Wait!” Lu Yun jumped with surprise at her words. “You can’t do that. The mountain god’s betrayed the primordial heavenly emperor a long time ago.”

“What do you mean?” Yun Yi’s eyes widened.

“Those from the land of darkness have probably guessed what the Land of Reincarnation is used for. The chief worlds must create another after the last one was ended and the mountain god is the prime candidate for that purpose. Going to him now will most likely just land you in their trap,” Lu Yun explained solemnly.

The nemesis that had once plagued his nightmares had now turned into a protective shield for the chief worlds. Lu Yun didn’t know where Yun Yi and the Dao King had gone. Now that Yun Yi was back, so was the Dao King. He’d resumed his position by Mo Yi’s side.

Yun Yi started, thinking back to the dark grand supreme from earlier and quieted down. The enemy’s doorframe had completely restrained her. If it wasn’t for Lu Yun’s reinforcement, she might already be defeated.

If she tried again, that would certainly spell her doom.

“Therefore, I’m the one who should go,” Lu Yun said. “The dark grand supreme has committed me to memory and the land of darkness will certainly set up plots against me. I will suffer their attacks whether I remain in the World of Immortals or the chief worlds. I might even drag in others with me.

“Only in the tomb of the empyrean supreme can I fully display my abilities and fight against them to the end! Therefore, the new Land of Reincarnation will also be born in the tomb!” he concluded resolutely.

“...take the Dao King with you.” Yun Yi rubbed her temples. What she’d gone off to accomplish with the Dao King had exhausted too much of her energy. It wouldn’t have been so easy for the dark grand supreme to suppress her if it wasn’t for that.

Yun Yi wasn’t injured, she was hollowed out by her earlier efforts. This had also been part of the enemy’s calculations. If she hadn’t been accompanied by the Dao King, she would’ve expended even more energy and be close to death now.

If one scheme couldn’t eliminate Yun Yi, there would be a second, a third, a fourth…

The final battle of one round meant the start of another round. Both sides were still placing their pieces and endlessly plotting against each other. It was a match separated by two realms.

“No, just me is enough.” Lu Yun stroked his chin. “Or perhaps Little Yu and the little fox should go with me?”

Yun Yi’s eyes shot wide open. “Do you know that ordinary supremes are dead without a doubt if they enter the tomb? You’re just a more special one. You want your two dao partners to go with you because you want to claim some of the opportunities for them, right?” She shook her head. “It’s much more likely that they die inside.

She was well aware of the dangers inside the tomb of the empyrean supreme since it was her father’s tomb. Formula dao would find it difficult to operate inside the tomb. Lu Yun could employ it to analyze everything in existence, but not the tomb.

“Qing Taxian is not the most suitable talent to be the immortal emperor,” she suddenly said. “Have him abdicate in favor of Qing Yu.”

“Huh?” Lu Yun blinked. “Have Little Yu be the immortal emperor?”

“Yes,” Yun Yi nodded. “She is the Dao Sovereign of immortal dao, so she must be the immortal emperor. Otherwise, an unstable immortal dao will easily shatter in the chief worlds. I don’t know what your trump card is to enable the dao to expand so quickly, but the consequence of such rapid expansion is an easy collapse!

“The immortal dao’s foundations are much too fragile and most of its powerhouses are the result of cultivators transforming their own dao into immortal dao and melding it with their new dao. Few are the powerhouses that grew up with immortal dao.

“It is as if a large tree with leafy boughs and thick branches. Its roots are too frail. A strong gust will blow it over and pull it up by the roots, which is why the chief worlds don’t think much of the immortal dao.”

Yun Yi continued after a pause, “The foundations of immortal dao lie with you and you direct everything. Your dao partner is just the Dao Sovereign in name. Hence, I recommend you fully integrate immortal dao into her and focus your efforts on hell dao and reincarnation.”

“I’ve been wanting to do that for a while, but I can’t,” Lu Yun frowned. “I gave her the Dao Flower and the world of immortal dao sequence because I wanted to give her full jurisdiction over immortal dao, but it continues to remain with me. I can’t shake off the great dao no matter what.

“If I forcefully eject it from me, it might cause the collapse of the entire dao.”

The reason behind this was the Tome of Life and Death!

Lu Yun had used the treasure to repair the path of cultivation, thereby affecting Qing Yu, Wu Tulong, Zi Chen, Mo Qitian, and the others. When he later uprooted the Dao Tree and repaired the path of immortality, sending his replica of heaven and earth to become the cosmos for immortal dao and manifesting the dao palace of immortal dao, he’d done so by himself.

The source of his strength came from the Tome of Life and Death. It could be said that the treasure had reforged the great dao.

It wouldn’t be this strong otherwise.

Even now, apart from the ten billion supremes that Tailong had given to Ying Luo, all other supremes, high supremes, and grand supremes had been subdued through the Tome of Life and Death. The assimilation of their great daos into the immortal dao was the melding of the treasure’s will into immortal dao!

The Tome of Life and Death was Lu Yun. There was no line of distinction between the two!
