Chapter 637 - 635: Turning Danger Into Safety, the Path to the Immortal Domain
Boom!
The Daluo Saber of Four Divisions arrived near the Calamity Ghost Wind Sea, sweeping across the sky, standing upon the void, its blade pointed down, stirring up endless waves of immortal light and saber radiance.
Swish!
The ancient land trembled, immortal mountains crumbled.
Upon the mountain, Xu Yang formed hand seals with both hands.
Boundless immortal light erupted from the depths of the earth, converging upon the Four Division Daluo Saber, and began to spread and diffuse at a speed visible to the naked eye, like one ripple after another of thick water waves, containing the marvels of wind, rain, thunder, and fire, presenting themselves between heaven and earth.
About several dozen breaths passed.
The boundless Calamity Ghost Wind was firmly blocked outside.
This was the link between the Four Division Daluo Saber and this domain’s heaven and earth—activating the remaining immense immortal energy, relying on the four divisions of wind, rain, thunder, and fire to transform into a barrier.
Seeing this, Xu Yang let out a heavy breath, weakly lying on the ground.
Too exhausting.
Even with willpower near that of a True Immortal, it was difficult to sustain.
He drooped his eyelids, persisted for a moment, and finally sunk into a deep slumber.
In the distance, the immortal coffin trembled slightly, but could not move.
Several days passed.
Xu Yang woke from his deep sleep, opening his eyes with his head still heavy and dazed.
The sense of exhaustion lingered, but had already subsided by more than half.
Sweeping his gaze around, the Calamity Ghost Wind was blocked, the land collapsed, and Beili Immortal Mountain was shattered nearly in half.
Between heaven and earth, all was dead still and silent to an extreme.
Under the shadow of the terrifying Calamity Ghost Wind Sea in the distance, this felt like the calm before the storm, an omen of impending destruction.
Xu Yang let out a breath of relief, turned over and got up, sensing everything within his body.
The expenditure was great, but aside from that, there were no major injuries.
Once the Immortal Foundation was refined, he would naturally recover and even be greatly enhanced.
Xu Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, calming his mind and cultivating.
His Immortal Foundation was slowly refined by the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod, the purest essence Qi streaming thread by thread into the Immortal Seed.
Two days later.
He had basically recovered as before.
Xu Yang rose and swept his gaze downward; upon seeing the immortal coffin, a thought stirred his heart, and he quickly went over.
"Before, it seemed they all went inside the coffin."
"They should be fine, right?"
Xu Yang muttered, leaping atop the coffin, looking toward the center.
The seventy-two immortal marks that were originally there had now turned into a vague mass, hazed like mist, making the inside invisible.
Just as he was at a loss, the immortal coffin quivered.
And then, it trembled several more times in succession.
Xu Yang’s face immediately split into a smile.
"Seems there’s more mystery inside, good that nothing’s wrong!"
This immortal coffin—its mysteries were unclear even to him.
After a brief hesitation, Xu Yang turned his gaze toward the Four Division Daluo Saber.
"Come!"
He curved his palm and grabbed.
The Four Division Daluo Saber tore through the air toward him.
But the barrier still remained.
The Daluo Saber landed in his palm; Xu Yang raised the blade, staring at the coffin.
Buzz!
The immortal coffin trembled several more times.
Xu Yang was taken aback, pondering aloud, "Not letting me use force?"
Buzz!
The coffin shook once more.
Xu Yang immediately understood.
"Since it won’t let me break it open by force, then they must have a way to come out."
This immortal coffin may be astonishing, but it could not compare to the Four Division Daluo Saber.
Breaking it would just be a matter of time!
But with people inside signaling, Xu Yang could only let it be.
He put away the Daluo Saber and walked off the coffin.
"Most of the power here has already been drawn out to block the Calamity Ghost Wind Sea—should last about a thousand years more!"
Xu Yang thought of the Spirit Realm.
If within a thousand years, other Martial Artists from the Spirit Realm cannot reach here, then they are truly cut off from the Immortal Dao.
"If I return to the Spirit Realm... now that I’ve stepped into the Immortal Dao, can the Spirit Realm endure it?"
He guessed the odds were slim.
At this rate, even returning once seemed a luxury!
There was something more crucial.
Leaving here and heading for the Immortal Domain!
What is needed, of course, is a precise route!
This was no small challenge.
"Damn!"
Xu Yang cursed under his breath, only now realizing that while Xiao Ming and Yun Zheng were no longer a problem, the road ahead was not easy either.
"Let’s wait for the Patriarch and the others to come out, then discuss."
Xu Yang sighed, shook his head slightly, and once more sank into cultivation.
This session lasted half a year.
The second-grade Immortal Foundation had long since been refined.
He had also gathered the remaining immortal elixirs, etc., from Beili Immortal Mountain for his cultivation.
The energy absorbed was nearly enough for several people to reach True Immortal.
But the immortal seed within his dantian, its radiance, only barely shone over half the dantian’s void.
The condensation of the Immortal Foundation was still far off.
Yet Xu Yang was not the least discouraged.
If a twelfth-grade Immortal Foundation could be forged so easily, then it would not be called a twelfth-grade Immortal Foundation.
"It’s been half a year and they still haven’t come out."
Xu Yang ended his cultivation and looked to the coffin, half amused, half at a loss.
If not for continued responses from within, he would have smashed open the coffin with the Daluo Saber long ago.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the immortal coffin trembled violently, its surface blooming with intense immortal light.
Xu Yang was startled, and rose suddenly to look.
"Are they coming out?"
Boom!
With a loud bang, ripples suddenly appeared on the coffin’s surface.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
One figure after another manifested out of thin air, their shocking auras surging out like tides.
"True Immortals?"
Xu Yang’s pupils contracted, his face filled with shock.
"One, two, three, four... Fourteen True Immortals in total!"
"Hiss—the immortal coffin’s fortune actually allowed fourteen to ascend as True Immortals."
"Hahaha, finally, we’re out."
"I was almost suffocated, old man!"
"Didn’t expect the fortune in this coffin to be so miraculous!"
"Heaven helps us!"
...
Excited laughter reverberated across the world, shattering the deathly silence.
Xu Yang swept his eyes around—nearly thirty people in all, with those breaking through to True Immortal including Can Sutian, Shi Feng, Zuo Shenzong, Cen Xinghou, Xue Ming, Shi Hu, and others.
Teacher Gu Jun, though not yet a True Immortal, had an aura several times stronger than before—he seemed just a step away from True Immortal too!
Xu Yang hurried over to greet them.
"What kind of fortune was in that coffin?"
"There were dozens of inheritances of Immortal Dao Skills and Divine Techniques, accumulated immortal power, and a large amount of pure immortal seeds condensed; moreover, there was also an engraved diagram, which seems to be the route to the Immortal Domain!"
"A route?"
Xu Yang was shocked; all the other surprises paled as he impatiently flashed into the immortal coffin to see for himself.
The inner space was vast, with strange runes engraved all over the four walls of the coffin.
These runes crossed and linked together.
Xu Yang fixed his gaze; the runes flickered gently, and in a daze, seemed to form an indescribable route, unfurling before his mind’s eye.
Clang!
The Four Division Daluo Saber quivered softly.
Xu Yang shuddered and returned to his senses, a thought arising in his heart; he summoned the Four Division Daluo Saber and urged it on.
Buzz!
All the runes on the immortal coffin instantly burst into brilliance; the Daluo Saber likewise lost control and shone with amethyst-gold immortal light, intertwining with these runes.
Swish!
A vivid scroll gradually manifested, then flashed like lightning into Xu Yang’s glabella.
The interior of the immortal coffin rapidly fell silent.
Several dozen breaths later.
Xu Yang’s eyes snapped open, unable to contain his joy.
"It really is the route to the Immortal Domain."
"Only with the Four Division Daluo Saber as the key can it manifest. Even if this coffin falls short of the saber, it is still a peerless immortal treasure."
"Seeking the Immortal Domain, this coffin is like a Spiritual Boat!"
On the unfurled scroll of runes, the anchor points from here to the Immortal Domain were marked distinctly.
Even if, with the passage of time, some of the mid-journey anchor points were missing or altered, the final anchor of the Immortal Domain remained, so following the anchors, they could reach the Immortal Domain.
The biggest problem was solved.
Xu Yang, face beaming with delight, walked out of the immortal coffin.
"It truly is a route—leaving here for the Immortal Domain is no longer an issue!"
All were overjoyed.
Soon, Can Sutian looked at the Four Division Daluo Saber, recalling what she had seen from inside the coffin about the events outside, and could not help but ask: "Just what is the origin of that saber?"
