Necropolis Immortal

The will of the immortal dao was Qing Yu, but it was Lu Yun who created the dao’s flesh and blood. In fact, his own flesh and blood was literally incorporated into the great dao. If he forcefully tried to give immortal dao to Qing Yu, the ultimate result was the destruction of both dao and Lu Yun.

Yun Yi frowned and etched a formula in the air, silently calculating the best solution for the problem.

Lu Yun fell into a daze as he followed her calculation method—this was formula dao!

Yun Yi knows formula dao?

How could she without immortal dao?

He took a closer look and confirmed that there was no sign of immortal dao on Yun Yi. No wonder formula dao had been advancing by leaps and bounds recently; it’d reached levels that startled even him. With a titan such as Yun Yi cultivating it, she would naturally derive novel calculation methods that would benefit formula dao in return. Being formula dao’s creators, Lu Yun and Qing Yu were blessed as well.

“A balance of yin and yang and complementary presences in immortal dao… you two are a match made in heaven.” Yun Yi raised her head and smirked at Lu Yun. “That fox opportunistically snuck into your heart, didn’t she? Otherwise, you’d only have one dao partner even now.”

Lu Yun nodded with a wry smile.

“In that case, let that fox be the immortal emperor,” Yun Yi contemplated. “The two of you can concentrate the will of immortal dao on her and have her become the immortal emperor. This way, your core strength will reflect onto the immortal dao through the fox and fortify its foundations.”

Immortal dao was strong enough as was, its foundations were the weak link. Given enough time, its foundations would develop to match the dao’s strength. However, the chief worlds wouldn’t permit it to enjoy such a luxury. Once affairs concluded in the tomb of the empyrean supreme, grand supremes would destroy the World of Immortals, seize its world of sequence, and claim the treasures within the realm.

Just one world of sequence alone was sufficient reason to compel them to act.

The Myriad Spirit and Firstspirit Grand Supremes had deterred them in the past, as well as Qiu Feishan when the land first opened. Now with the opening of the tomb and its plethora of opportunities inside, anyone who lived through the experience would emerge much stronger than before.

Bolstered by a successful escape from death’s grasp, they would then set their sights on immortal dao. If immortal dao wished to bloom through the chief worlds, it would have to endure a tribulation. This was most likely its trial.

Therefore, immortal dao’s foundations needed to develop swiftly in an exceedingly short period of time to prepare itself for the oncoming storm.

In the meantime, it wasn’t as ludicrous as it seemed for the little fox to ascend to the throne. She’d been the lord of monster spirits in the world of immortals before the war of immortals and the Monster Celestial Master. If she bent her mind to it, she could certainly be a monarch that ruled with unquestionable force.

And so Lu Yun and Yun Yi, two personages who looked highly dependable but were anything but, decided between themselves that the little fox would be the new master of the World of Immortals.

……

The current World of Immortals appeared to be a picture of prosperity, a domineering presence of indisputable strength. However, there were plenty of factions within that refused to submit to the immortal court—various worlds and powerhouses in the fourth realm counted among them in significant numbers.

Although they all cultivated immortal dao now, they were much more formidable than before thanks to the dao’s advancements. Their strength grew by the day and when some of them became supremes, other thoughts sprang to mind.

Order no longer repelled the powerhouses of the chief worlds once the World of Immortals fully formed. They could freely come and go just like visiting any other world. They could set up their plans and plots or destroy order as they would.

With the true heavyweights of the chief worlds in the tomb of the empyrean supreme, none of those remaining dared brazenly attempt anything. They could only skulk in the shadows and incite trouble however they could.

Many knew the importance of the spirit paper now, so they created an imitation that was different enough that it wouldn’t result in karmic repercussions. It was also close enough that it could start wild rumors to disturb the World of Immortals and fracture public opinion.

The World of Immortals was still demarcated as before—the Boundless Planes as the fourth realm, Hongmeng as the third, chaos as the second, and worlds as the first. The celestial world of immortals and Fairylands could be found in the worlds and the immortal court hovered over the Central World in Fairylands—Qing Yu’s heavenly palace.

Qing Taxian abdicating his position was a monumental matter, particularly when he announced that he would pass his position on to a woman. Extreme disgruntlement brewed as the World of Immortals was a patriarchal society. While there were many powerful women in the realm, positions of rule were occupied by men and so a female emperor was very difficult to accept.

Rumors, wild tales, and hearsay sprang up in all corners of the World of Immortals and widespread rebellion occurred in many locales. In the thirty-third thousand and three hundred sixty-third year of the Xuanhuang calendar, lady emperor Tushan Miao ascended to the throne and became master of the World of Immortals.

Thriving at the height of its prosperity, the World of Immortals immediately broke up as many worlds announced their secession. Numerous chief world powerhouses published scathing criticism in the spirit paper, describing Tushan Miao as a hen who’d usurped a rooster’s place and roundly condemned her unnatural actions of taking power.

Despite the upwelling of outrage, no one dared raise the banner of war in the World of Immortals—apart from local inhabitants directed by others. All opposition took place as hushed whispers behind closed doors. At the end of the day, the World of Immortals was still too intimidating. It’d conquered three hundred and sixty-five major worlds, Lu Yun smote a high supreme with his bare hands, claimed the Dark World, and then there was the matter of the Ghost Sect to consider.

This was public knowledge throughout the chief worlds, so they wouldn’t dare start anything even with borrowing courage from others. But what did World of Immortals locals care about that? Reassured by promises of support from chief world powerhouses beyond supreme, they moved with great confidence.

It wasn’t long before they attacked the Dao Academy and various Formula Academies. Lu Yun showed them no mercy, deploying ten billion supremes from the chief worlds to suppress all rebels.

After the insurrection attempts, rumors ran rife in the chief worlds. The immortal dao was actually a demonic dao and Immortal Emperor Tushan Miao slaughtered hundreds of millions of innocents after assuming her throne. Her hands were covered in blood!

The World of Immortals was the World of Demons, and immortal dao was demonic dao! It’d invaded the chief worlds and executed everyone on three hundred and sixty-five major worlds, refining them into puppets. Even some immortal dao cultivators were under their control!

Fear and trepidation closed around the chief worlds and the weaker cultivators preparing to switch to immortal dao gave up on the idea. Some grand supremes yet remaining in the chief worlds seized control of the spirit paper in Myriad Spirit and Firstspirit’s absence, turning it into their tool as well.

……

“Isn’t Lu Yun just asking for trouble to make that fox the immortal emperor at this time?” Two figures of faint black stood in the void outside, sneering at the translucent World of Immortals that glittered like a pearl in space.

One of them was the dark grand supreme who’d left after her run-in with Lu Yun. The other was a man from the chief worlds. He cultivated heaven and earth and possessed order, but he chose to walk with the dark grand supreme.

He was also a grand supreme.

The dark grand supreme frowned gently and thought for a moment. “Things aren’t as simple as they seem…”

“You’re overthinking it, Your Reverence,” the man barked with laughter. “Immortal dao has grown too quickly for its foundations, so Lu Yun has that fox be emperor to strengthen its roots. Once things conclude in the tomb, the World of Immortals will meet its end at the hands of the chief world grand supremes.

“The renaissance of immortal dao has much to do with Lu Yun and Qing Yu. If my guess is correct, Lu Yun wants Qing Yu to be the immortal emperor, but she would need to possess all of immortal dao in order to do so. Lu Yun is unable to shake off immortal dao, so he has the fox take the role and brings down the will of immortal dao onto her.” A keen light glinted in the man’s eyes as he spoke of essentially what Yun Yi and Lu Yun had spoken of.

“But they expose their weakness by doing so,” he cackled. “Those of the chief worlds may not dare provoke the World of Immortals now, but so are we in the chief worlds. We dare. And no matter what, it’s denizens of the chief worlds that die.”

He was a grand supreme from the land of darkness and had recently utilized certain methods to become one of the chief worlds. The dark grand supreme had been reborn because he’d saved one of her corporeal soul parts.

The land of darkness was behind the challenges and beguiling talk facing the World of Immortals from the chief worlds.
