Chapter 813: Ninety-Nine Years (1/2)

Do you remember the void realm?

Minute changes filtered through various expressions when this question was posed. No one felt that Lu Yun was crowing about past accomplishments in an attempt to distract from the Dao Tree being sealed off. Rather, those in the know quickly grasped his meaning.

Damn it, no wonder that Qi Hai wasn’t willing to get involved. He knew already what Lu Yun was going to do! Zi Hengxiao cursed inwardly.

They’d paid a visit to the South Sea beforehand to invite Qi Hai and the Destiny city lord to join them, but the group had searched high and low over the waters without finding a trace of the city or pill dao sacred land.

That was when they understood that Qi Hai wasn’t willing to provoke Lu Yun anymore, but no one had fathomed that the young man would commit such a daring act!

Based on his personality, he should’ve met them in a frontal assault as soon as they came knocking. In fact, he would’ve obliterated them on the spot to teach a sharp lesson to all those who would act against him.

However, he no longer acted only on his behalf these days. He represented the Dao Academy and the will of the immortal dao residing in Mount Xuanhuang. Lu Yun was absolutely certain that someone was behind all these peak factions gathering so swiftly, and that the same mastermind was hoping he’d make a mistake somewhere.

Once Lu Yun erupted in a slaughter, he’d set foot into certain traps and the academy would be isolated. All the effort he’d put in thus far would be wasted.

In a chaotic world, one’s fist was one’s right. But in a civilized, orderly world, a rational system of morals and ethics underpinned its structure. This was what he was working toward.

……

“Qing Yu and I have indeed sealed off the Dao Tree to prevent current immortals from reaching dao immortality.” Lu Yun looked at the peak peerless immortal with a supercilious smile. “This is actually for your own good as well. Otherwise, you’ll probably hate us again when you reach aether dao immortal realm. Have you already forgotten when you were almost discarded by the march of time?”

Color draining from his face, the peerless immortal thought of the formation of heaven and earth etched in his body. Its creation method originated from Dusk Province, and he knew full well what Lu Yun meant.

The path of immortality was severed at the dao immortal realm, and Lu Yun aimed to repair the immortal dao by fixing that realm!

“Honestly, I’m a very selfish person,” Lu Yun continued without looking at the immortal. “When Qing Yu restored the void realm and almost eliminated hundreds of millions of immortals, the ensuing resentment was so awful that I had to create the formation of heaven and earth to save all of you.

“But how many dao immortals are there in the entire world and the multiverse at large? A hundred thousand? A million? Or ten million? That little bit of potential backlash from you is absolutely nothing in my eyes.

“If I wanted to, I could destroy the tree right now and connect the new cultivation system with the immortal dao. But here I am, wasting half a year of my time and effort for you ungrateful bastards. I’m doing all this so you dao immortals won’t be eliminated and can be integrated into the new dao immortal realm!

“You want to threaten me with connate treasures? Fine then, I’ll release the seal on the Dao Tree right now and let you pluck your fruits to your heart’s content. You can ascend to dao immortality or even further!
