Chapter 964: It’s All Fake (1/2)
Scarlet bale spirits had once appeared in the yin spirit tide of Azure Province, the one that’d blotted out the heavens and covered the earth. Dao immortals of those times hadn’t been able to put up any resistance before they were gnawed down to nothingness.
The yin tides of the world of immortals were far more frightening than those of the lower worlds, and there were many more high level spirits in the ones that attacked the world of immortals. There were also far fewer yin spirits in the Quiet Realm than compared to the usual lower worlds.
A scarlet bale spirit that was incredibly terrifying in the eyes of other immortals was completely harmless to Lu Yun. One slash from Quietus created a void of yin spirits wherever it passed through, connecting with the scarlet spirit at the end and cutting it straight through.
That immediately sent the yin and dead spirits into chaotic disarray. Milling around, some pounced on Lu Yun in a disorganized fashion. He dispatched them all with a few casual strokes.
Within the boundary, senior sister Luan and the others gaped at the human youth in mid air.
“I’m afraid… we overthought the situation just now. That expert doesn’t need our rescue at all, he’s probably a supreme genius from the world of immortals who’s practicing his combat arts on the spirits here,” senior sister Luan chuckled ruefully.
They’d seen geniuses of this caliber before. Things were relatively calm in the world of immortals these days as a bloodbath would arrive in less than seventy years. All of the world’s factions were keeping themselves in check to save their strength for those times. No retaliation had been forthcoming even when Dao Academy disciple Silverblaze killed the prince of Qingfu Nation.
In comparison to the usual squabbles, the yin spirits of the world of immortals turned into everyone’s training targets. A myriad of geniuses emerged from seclusion, each bolder and more adept than the last. They charged into the endless tides of dead spirits to hone their craft—in the eyes of the Corpse Refiners, the somewhat ordinary young man in the air was one of them.
Only that standard of genius would think of etching formations of heaven and earth into battle zombies.
……
“Luan Qi of the Corpse Refiners greets this senior brother. Please forgive me if I affronted you earlier.” Senior sister Luan Qi quickly walked up to greet the newcomer when he entered the boundary.
Though the Corpse Refiners had lost a battle zombie, it was much more serious that they’d interrupted a genius in training. If he sought to vent his spleen on them, they wouldn’t be able to withstand his fully justified anger.
“No matter.” Lu Yun knew what identity they’d assigned to him and went along with the situation. “What is the status of this Quiet Realm?”
“In response to senior brother, this realm is much the same as any of the other lower worlds. However, there are fewer yin spirits here compared to elsewhere.” Luan Qi quickly added, “It does seem that the immortals of this world don’t welcome us though.”
“Don’t welcome us?” Lu Yun blinked. She meant visitors from the world of immortals.
“That’s right, they don’t like having us here. There is one thing more bizarre about this realm than the others… At least several tens of thousands of immortals have visited this realm over the past ten years, but they’ve all died. Apart from a hundred Corpse Refiners and a few Dao Academy senior brothers that have entered the palace floating above us, there is no one else who visits this world anymore.”
“What?” Lu Yun’s eyes widened. “You say that academy disciples have entered that palace?”
“That’s right!” Luan Qi and her peers looked at each other. This genius senior brother was likely from the Dao Academy.
The Dao Academy prospered entirely too well these days and counted hundreds of millions of disciples within its campus and the three hundred sixty-five cities of Dusk Province. It was the undisputed titan of the world of immortals. Though it didn’t vie for the title, it was the greatest heavyweight of them all regardless.
