Chapter 492 - 379: The Kunlun Daoist Monarch’s Breakthrough (2)
Kunlun Mountain.
Inside the Kunlun Daoist Palace.
CRACK! CRACK!
Infinite phenomena emerged as countless Daos intertwined. The Great Dao descended and manifested, evolving into endless mysteries. An incomparably vast Kunlun Realm appeared in the void above Kunlun Mountain. This mirror illuminated the All Heavens and Myriads of Realms and countless spacetimes, reflecting the past, present, and future...
This was the Kunlun Dao Mirror.
BUZZ! BUZZ!
「Immediately after.」
Within the Kunlun Dao Mirror, countless streams of light intertwined, gradually coalescing into a towering and majestic figure.
「Zooming in.」
It was none other than the Kunlun Daoist Monarch, the Master of the Holy Land of the Kunlun Daoist Palace, one of the Nine Great Sacred Lands of the Profound Yellow Realm.
"Im... Immortal..."
"This..."
"It’s really... he’s truly become an Immortal!"
"Hiss..."
Shock.
Disbelief.
Inconceivable.
Within the major Sacred Lands.
Figures emerged one after another, rising straight into the void. They stood there, hands clasped behind their backs, gazing toward the Kunlun Daoist Palace with faces full of shock.
CLANG!
A sword’s cry rang out.
Shushan Sacred Land.
The Cyan Willow Sword appeared.
Chen Wangu revealed himself.
"Hahahaha..."
Chen Wangu roared with laughter, his face alight with excitement and agitation. "Excellent, excellent, excellent! What a Kunlun Daoist Monarch! To think you’ve actually broken through and stepped into the Immortal realm."
Evidently, Chen Wangu had sacrificed the Immortal Origin of a Forbidden Land Life from the Dark Forbidden Land to the Profound Yellow Realm. In response, the Profound Yellow Realm had sent down the Divine Rain. The Kunlun Daoist Monarch and others had bathed in this Divine Rain, comprehending a trace of the true mysteries of the Immortal realm.
Most importantly, the Kunlun Daoist Monarch had already reached the absolute extreme of the Eighth Realm for countless ages. He was only a single step away from the Undying Immortal realm, yet that single step could have held him back for all eternity.
However, after Chen Wangu sacrificed the Immortal Origin of the Forbidden Land Life to the Profound Yellow Realm, the Kunlun Daoist Monarch bathed in the Divine Rain and comprehended a trace of the true mysteries of the Immortal realm. He then entered seclusion for several hundred years and finally shattered the barrier between the Eighth Realm and the Undying Immortal realm, truly stepping into the state of the Undying Immortal.
Furthermore, just like Chen Wangu, the Kunlun Daoist Monarch had achieved Immortal Will.
However, after Chen Wangu achieved Immortal Will, he manifested the Cyan Willow Sword externally. In contrast, after the Kunlun Daoist Monarch achieved Immortal Will, he manifested the Kunlun Dao Mirror.
SWISH!
The Cyan Willow Sword transformed into a beam of Sword Light and descended directly upon the Kunlun Daoist Palace to meet with the Kunlun Daoist Monarch. The two Immortals of the Profound Yellow Realm were meeting.
"Fellow Daoist Chen."
The Kunlun Daoist Monarch clasped his hands in a salute. "You have worked hard these past hundred years."
"Mm."
Chen Wangu nodded, his tone calm. "It was nothing. The various Forbidden Lands suffered considerable losses within the Profound Yellow Realm. After that, though many more Forbidden Land Lifeforms from the Nine Great Forbidden Lands have revived, they have rarely made a move against the Profound Yellow Realm. Instead, they’ve set their sights on other Origin Worlds and Perfect Grand Thousand Worlds."
"Of course, during this time, quite a few Forbidden Land Lifeforms have probed the Profound Yellow Realm. This is especially true for those from the Dark Forbidden Land. The news that the Profound Yellow Elder was forced to leave to undergo his tribulation can likely no longer be hidden."
Chen Wangu continued, "By my estimation, those Forbidden Land Lifeforms who have been covetously watching our Profound Yellow Realm will probably make their move within the next few years."
"Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Kunlun, you broke through at the final moment and attained Immortal Will. With you and I joining forces, plus Fairy Purple Mist in the Xuanhuang Guardian City, we need not fear those Forbidden Land Lifeforms. We can definitely protect the Profound Yellow Realm."
"Mm."
The Kunlun Daoist Monarch nodded. "Now that I have attained the Immortal realm, I happen to lack opponents to test my new power. This is for the best."
「Afterward.」
The news that the Kunlun Daoist Monarch had attained Immortal Will was not spread. Instead, he chose to conceal it, completely locking down the information, and waited for those Forbidden Land Lifeforms coveting the Profound Yellow Realm to walk right into his trap.
Shushan Sacred Land.
Inside the Sword One Dojo.
BUZZ!
Within the Seclusion Chamber.
A Black Pagoda hovered in the void, rotating silently. Around its body, a vast River of Time seemed to swirl and flow rapidly...
SWISH!
「The next moment.」
A stream of light shot out from the Black Pagoda and landed on a meditation cushion in the Seclusion Chamber. Xu Qing had emerged from the thirtieth floor of the damaged Level 16 Time Treasure Tower.
A hundred years had passed.
Xu Qing had entered secluded cultivation on the thirtieth floor of the damaged Level 16 Time Treasure Tower more than fifty times. Combined with the 100-million-times time acceleration, that was equivalent to five billion years...
"Hoo..."
Xu Qing opened his eyes. An extremely strong aura of time emanated from his body, as if he had been drenched by the waters of the River of Time itself.
At the same time, Xu Qing could clearly feel waves of tearing pain in his physical body, soul, and will.
SWISH!
Immediately after, the corresponding information appeared in Xu Qing’s mind.
...
[Chaos Sword Dao LV34: Nine Trillion Sisters / 860,160,000,000 Sister Experience Points (Upgradeable!) (...)]
...
’Mm.’
Xu Qing nodded slightly. ’A hundred years to accumulate a full Nine Trillion Sisters of Experience Points. I can raise the level of my Chaos Sword Dao several times over.’
’Hoo...’
Xu Qing took a deep breath. ’Upgrade Chaos Sword Dao.’
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
「The next moment.」
The Encyclopedia of All Things flashed with a brilliant light. The same scene replayed as Xu Qing’s consciousness sank into it, comprehending all sorts of mysteries...
...
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Chaos Sword Dao LV35: 8,139,840,000,000 Sisters / 1,720,320,000,000 Sister Experience Points (Upgradeable!) (Attained another Primordial Saint Seal, forming a total of six Primordial Saint Seals. Cultivation broke through to the Sixth Heaven of Saint Realm.)]
...
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Chaos Sword Dao LV36: 6,419,520,000,000 Sisters / 3,440,640,000,000 Sister Experience Points (Upgradeable!) (Attained another Primordial Saint Seal, forming a total of seven Primordial Saint Seals. Realm has been elevated to the Seventh Heaven of Saint Realm.)]
...
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Chaos Sword Dao LV37: 2,978,880,000,000 Sisters / 6,881,280,000,000 Sister Experience Points (Attained another Primordial Saint Seal, forming a total of eight Primordial Saint Seals. Realm broke through to the Eighth Heaven of Saint Realm.)]
...
「In a short period.」
Xu Qing raised his Chaos Sword Dao by three levels, from Level 34 to Level 37. As its level increased, his Cultivation and Realm broke through from the Fifth Heaven of Saint Realm to the Eighth Heaven of Saint Realm.
This way, he was only two levels away from breaking through to the Great Saint Realm.
’Two more levels.’
Xu Qing’s expression was pensive. ’Based on accumulating Nine Trillion Sisters of Experience Points in a hundred years, I’m afraid it will take around one hundred and fifty years to gain the next two levels.’
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
「On this very day.」
Xu Qing’s Cultivation had just broken through to the Eighth Heaven of Saint Realm. He was about to step into the damaged Level 16 Time Treasure Tower again to continue his Cultivation and accumulate Experience Points, striving for an even earlier breakthrough.
However, something unexpected happened.
Xu Qing heard a huge commotion that seemed to come from the Ninth Heaven itself. With a single step, he appeared in the void above the Sword One Dojo, raised his head, and stared at the sky.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!!!
He could see cracks appearing one after another in the sky of the Profound Yellow Realm, as if the world’s barrier itself was being torn apart. High above in the firmament, a supremely majestic city emerged. Countless bolts of Thunderbolt and infinite phenomena surrounded it, pressing down on the Profound Yellow Realm.
’Xuanhuang Guardian City!’
Xu Qing was startled; he recognized the city with just a single glance.
Moreover, hovering above the city was a towering yet graceful figure clad in purple robes. Her might was infinite. It was Fairy Purple Mist.
