Chapter 1163: The Strength of Peak Immortal Dao (1/2)

Lu Yun wasn’t behind these new crystal cannons, and it likewise wasn’t his idea to have these cannons combust earthen veins and fire a barrage into the cosmos. These were the culmination of  the world’s wisdom over the past ten years.

The Dao Academy had played an important role as the sacred land of immortal dao. It’d risen to the forefront of this cataclysm and demonstrated unparalleled leadership and charisma.

In the ten years of breathing space, the denizens of the world refrained from focusing on raising their own strength and cultivation realms. It wasn’t that a long period of time, so they wouldn’t see much of an advancement even if they wholeheartedly devoted themselves to cultivating.

Instead, the various supplemental path grandmasters gathered together in the Dao Academy to study how their daos could strike against the yin spirits.

If it could be said that immortal methods and combat arts represented the martial might of the world of immortals, then supplemental paths represented the wisdom.

The development of civilization was safeguarded by might and led by wisdom. Since the martial might of the world of immortals had reached a bottleneck, it was time to focus on wisdom.

Within the Dao Academy, formula dao was a part of the required curriculum. To deduce and calculate the future trends of the world of immortals, the worlds, and all of life was now the mainstream cultivation method of all.

Over the past ten years, advancement of the supplemental paths far outstripped all the progress they’d made in the past one hundred. Strange and innovative techniques and methods abounded, all of them targeting the yin spirits.

The modified crystal cannons discharged for three months straight before falling silent. When the last cannon mouth subsided, the immortals fell into orderly formations in the outer realms, having already made their next plans against the yin spirits.

The nascent spirits of immortals retained a bit of mental strength whenever they killed a yin spirit. However, this strength contained a certain violent tendency. When absorbed in large quantities, the immortal became violent as well, sometimes even assimilated into a yin spirit themselves.

Fortunately, the immortals had found a way to resolve these violent inclinations. Lu Yun had once calculated a way as well, but the requisite price to pay was too high. The collective wisdom of all life in the world of immortals had accomplished what he couldn’t do.

Though Lu Yun and Qing Yu were pivotal characters, they were only two people. There were boundless beings in the world of immortals and their combined intelligence was far greater than the sum of two.

With this accomplishment, the world of immortals had finally progressed in the direction that Lu Yun and Qing Yu had hoped for all along—completely stepping out from their shadows and truly setting foot on their own path.

They had entered an era of progress through self sufficiency. Lu Yun and Qing Yu were now just two totems, no longer the guiding hand that everyone relied upon.

……

On the other hand, ten years really wasn’t that long. When boundless yin spirits poured in from the stars, it still created immense pressure on the immortals in the outer realms. They were too strong, too many, and the immortals working with too limited of a time.

Hummm.

A forceful ripple traveled through the depths of space not long after the yin spirits rushed in, followed swiftly by a wheel of an enormous sun. Blazing heat waves, filled with the vast might of the worlds and immortal dao, exploded through the cosmos.

The yin spirits melted beneath the heat like snowflakes, having met their bane in the form of an almost translucent white flame.

The flame of the immortal dao—Sol Truefire!

Boom!

The cosmos of the world blazed like a giant forge.

“I can eke out another ten years for everyone, fellow daoists. It will really be up to you after this ten,” Qing Yu’s voice slowly traveled from deep within space.

“We thank the dao sovereign and headmaster!” First freezing with surprise, the immortals of the world bowed in unison at the World Gates.
