Chapter 756: Gates to the World of Immortals (1/2)

Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.

The Dusk restriction against immortals had vanished—incorporated into the Central World and refined by Qing Yu. Constrained by the restriction all this time, the human demon regained his freedom and was in fact  stronger than when the restriction was in place.

A full seven days passed after Qing Yu’s ascension to immortality. All was calm and tranquil in these seven days, as if everything in the world was as normal as before.

This took quite a few powerhouses of the world aback, since if it were up to them, they would’ve jumped right into establishing the sacred land of immortal dao so that all beings in the world could worship them. The current Lu Yun absolutely had the right to do so.

After all these battles, though Lu Yun himself didn’t possess great strength and often had to rely on others, what he could call upon had been validated by the world. If anyone—not just Lu Yun—wished to establish a sacred land, they needed to experience challenges from everyone in what was called a human tribulation.

He’d successfully endured the human tribulation and possessed the capital needed to truly establish a sacred land. Therefore, the world waited with bated breath for him to finally materialize his plans.

However, he and Qing Yu chose to depart Dusk Province hand in hand.

……

A glimmering white avenue shot into the skies and soared up into the highest reaches of the atmosphere. It was the main body of the Path of Ingress—Nephrite Major’s greatest treasure. Zhao Shenguang had gifted it to Lu Yun as it could be used to greater effect in his hands.

Naturally, Lu Yun didn’t accept this gift without offering anything in return. After all, the Path of Ingress was very important to the major, the basis on which its protection were based. His response was to send the Black Tortoise to Xiankan.

Nephrite Major possessed four great legions—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. They were the four greatest troops of the major and their battle formations were based off the four divine beasts.

At peerless immortal, Black Tortoise wasn’t all that strong, but it was a real divine beast formed from the divine energy of the north. If the Black Tortoise Legion of Nephrite Major meditated on its form, they would be able to summon a true Black Tortoise divine spirit when they assembled into battle formation and become even stronger.

In certain respects, possessing a living Black Tortoise was even more important to the major than the Path of ingress.

Of course, with Zhao Shenguang’s pestering and insatiable personality, he came calling for the other three divine beasts as well. Lu Yun kicked him out with one hefty punt.

……

The Path of Ingress traversed heaven and earth like a snow-white chain.

“We’re here.” Qing Yu mentioned softly with a raise of her eyebrows.

They were at the highest reaches of the world of immortals. If they looked down, they would overlook the nine majors, ten lands, four immortal seas, and four great oceans. Each of the facets were different sizes and in fact, shards of a world embedded in this local area of space.

In actuality, each of the facets had evolved their own forces and manifested personal mandates. As time went on, the relationship between each of them would continuously decline until they formed independent worlds. When that happened, the power of the four great oceans would no longer constrain the facets and the world of immortals would collapse, never to be whole again.
