Chapter 1144: Returning to the Fourth Realm (2/2)

So terrifying that it caused one to despair.

Despite that, the Dao Academy remained as steady as Mount Tai. It didn’t react to the attempt and continued publicizing a variety of sophisticated methods. At peak empyrean realm, the headmaster and dao sovereign occasionally gave lectures on dao, imparting new hope to the people.

In the eighty-ninth year of the Xuanhuang calendar, the world of immortals possessed twenty-four chaos realm masters. Apart from the immortal emperor, the rulers of the nine majors, ten lands, and four immortal seas had also ascended to the chaos realm.

Of course, there were certainly more chaos realm immortals in the Dao Academy, but no one knew how many there might be. It was also unknown whether there were chaos realm masters in the assorted hidden factions of the world—the Purple, Green, and Crimson Firmaments, as well as the Fangyang Royals and other clans from the Primordial Era.

The current world of immortals was a picture of thriving prosperity. If it wasn’t for the hordes of dead spirits waiting on the other side of the World Gates, the immortals might’ve even started making their way into the chaos.

……

Mount Tai.

Once the intersection between the great wilderness and the netherdark. Magnificent and spectacular, it was now the tallest peak of the five sacred mountains. What was known as Mount Tai on Earth was just a hint of its true greatness.

“Master, I’ve recollected the power of Mount Tai and can direct the Hadal Hell to connect to the world at any time!” Tianqi had returned to hell with a tiny mountain peak in his hand—the true form of the mountain.

Mount Tai was a divine mountain resulting from the hadal power. Now that two worlds were to become one, the mountain was the key.

“There’s no rush.” Lu Yun shook his head. “There’s a great danger in there, so we need to clean house first before doing anything.”

“Understood!” Tianqi trembled with emotion as he looked at his master. Even though he was a creator now and stronger than his master, he was still the same naive boy as always when facing Lu Yun.

“Come, let’s go to the fourth realm.” Lu Yun waved a hand and summoned the Bridge of Forgetfulness to carry him and his disciple to the fourth realm.

When they arrived, they had to deploy every single death art at their disposal to make it into the Hadal Prisons. If they’d just walked in, they likely would’ve been instantly devoured, not even a bone fragment left of them.

The prisoners kept in these dungeons were characters that even masters of the third realm dared not provoke. They were the most terrifying fiends of the fourth realm!

Lu Yun and Qing Yu had accidentally wandered into the fourth realm last time through the luopan tracking the bridge’s ripples. With the bridge leading the way this time, the second trip was much smoother.

……

The fourth realm was as it’d appeared before. Spacious, empty, and nothing there, like it was a world of nothing. However, there were numerous specks of light, large and small, like stars hanging in the air. They seemed close at hand, but were, in reality, an indeterminable distance away.

“Bridgie, you’ve come back!” A tiny thought ripple probed them when Lu Yun, Tianqi, and the Bridge of Forgetfulness set foot into the fourth realm. “You disappeared after I took a nap, I thought someone ate you! But here you are again in the blink of an eye!”
