Chapter 1835: Wronged Soul of a Supreme

"Immortal crystal?" Lu Yun's eyes lit up. He recognized it—that wasn't a piece of ordinary immortal crystal. It came from the crystal forest at the foot of Mount Xuanhuang!

Tinged with the presence of immortal dao on the mountain and nurtured by the Ancient Tree of Life, this was a piece of immortal dao crystal. There was a tiny hint of the immortal dao's will in it and it could facilitate outsiders in switching to immortal dao.

Lu Yun hadn't thought that the Dao Academy Yu Jiang graduated from would be the one at Mount Xuanhuang in the world of immortals! The crystal was connected to the man's life force. If Yu Jiang died, so would the immortal crystal go up in smoke. If Lu Yun's guess was right, any outsider who enrolled in the Mount Xuanhuang academy was gifted one of these crystals when they left.

Another part of Wanfeng's plans!

Hu Ruofei and Yu Jiang ignored their newest member. The immortal crystal floated over Hu Ruofei's head and rained down immortal light, transmuting his great dao and sequence into immortal dao. Since the world of immortal dao sequence had been established, one could access immortal dao sequence even when situated in the chief worlds.

It took only a few breaths for Hu Ruofei to become a nineteenth level sequence immortal.

Immortal dao was a great dao. The various cultivation ranks in it before, such as empyrean immortal, golden immortal, and High Immortal of the Great Firmament were just names of various cultivation stages.

Once a cultivator reached sequence, immortal dao convened with the other great daos and the cultivation stages were named after sequence levels. Of course, Lu Yun could bend his mind to renaming all of them if there came a day in which immortal dao traversed the chief worlds. It was too early to consider doing so now.

"Yu Jiang, I hear you've recruited some new faces? Newbies need to pay tithe too. You paid one hundred years in advance last time, so I'll give you a discount. They only need to pay two thousand enigma stones for one hundred years." A jeering voice sounded as soon as the immortal light faded from Hu Ruofei's body.

Two thousand stones for one hundred years and for two… that really wasn't an expensive tithe. That equated to only ten enigma stones per person a year, but to Yu Jiang, it was still like cutting off part of his arm. He could use one thousand stones as forfeit for a bet, but he would never needlessly spend two thousand stones for no reason at all.

"Qu Cu, you bastard!" Yu Jiang snarled when he took a clear look at who had come. "I paid one hundred years in advance for the entire town! They're part of Crouching Tiger, so you're not getting another stone from me!"

Qu Cu appeared as a young man dressed in a bright red robe. He seemed to be eighteen levels of sequence, just like Yu Jiang. But as unwilling as the latter may be, he could only impotently rage at Qu Cu's presence.

Hu Ruofei retreated behind Lu Yun, unwilling to be involved in the clash. Qu Cu should be one of Master Mo Fei's men.

The newcomer's aura was far stronger than Yu Jiang and even more domineering than Hu Ruofei's. Although Yu Jiang had initially sent Hu Ruofei reeling backward in their fight, the former would've been defeated if it continued.

He was indeed much stronger than before after cultivating immortal dao, but it'd been only a short period of time since his initiation. His Vast Dragon Seaturner summoned only the shape of a dragon, not the essence. The sword intent of the sea was all form and no substance in his hands.

So there were still powerhouses on Huangpang—Lu Yun had met only a motley crew thus far.

"They are both great cultivators at eighteen levels of sequence. Two thousand enigma stones isn't a lot." Qu Cu glanced at the precious bag in Yu Jiang's hands. He'd clearly seen everything, including Lu Yun handing two bags of enigma stones to Yu Jiang.

"Take them!" Yu Jiang sighed when he saw that Lu Yun wasn't going to step forward on their behalf. He handed over their bags with great reluctance. Was it possible for a heart to bleed from pure heartache?

"I recognize Hu Ruofei. Master Mo Fei won't raise objections if he's decided to follow your path. As for this unfamiliar fellow daoist with unknown origins… I'll let you go on account of two thousand enigma stones." Although this was what Qu Cu said, his gaze swept unpleasantly over Lu Yun's body. He could tell that Lu Yun also cultivated immortal dao and that the latter had accessed twenty-four levels of sequence. But he didn't seem all that concerned. His patron was a thirtieth level sequence expert!

"Honestly, this humble one is no one important…" Lu Yun grinned the broad grin of a foolish and simple man. "I followed the Myriad Spirit Supreme into the Land of Reincarnation because we wanted formula dao. But who would've thought that my potential is limited? I gave up after being muddled by all sorts of formulas and theories…"

"The Myriad Spirit Supreme!" Qu Cu jumped with shock and his gaze softened. "You're one of the supreme's people?"

Anyone who dared mention a supreme's title was absolutely one of the supreme's men. Otherwise, ordinary cultivators suffered tribulations if they nonchalantly used a supreme's name in casual conversation.

"I was only by his side for a brief period," Lu Yun smiled again.

Qu Cu's eyes darted around uncertainly. The enigma stones in his hand suddenly felt hot to the touch.

"We can forgo the stones since you're a follower of the supremes. If fellow daoist is so fortunate as to see the Myriad Spirit Supreme again, please say a few words on Huangpang's behalf." Qu Cu returned the stones to Yu Jiang and left hastily after making some cryptic comments.

"Eh? What words?" Qu Cu was already far away when Lu Yun wanted to ask for clarification. "What am I supposed to say?" He looked blankly at Yu Jiang and Hu Ruofei.

"Don't know…" They were equally lost.

"Are there no supremes on Huangpang?" Lu Yun asked.

"No! The supremes don't find this world worthy. Apparently, we had one a very long time ago—the Huangpang Supreme. This major world is named after him and we have had no supremes since he fell." Hu Ruofei hummed in thought, "Master Mo Fei is a thirtieth level sequence expert. He has the right to exceed sequence, but just being thirty levels means he can't coalesce a dao palace. He won't be a supreme if he exceeds sequence.

"They say that he traveled to the Land of Reincarnation a while ago to kill Lu Yun. The supremes will craft a dao palace for anyone who kills Lu Yun, you see. But he came back for some reason—no one knows why." Since Hu Ruofei had never visited the Land of Reincarnation, everything he knew about it was hearsay.

"I know why," Yu Jiang muttered. "Master Mo Fei came back after he saw the son of Lu Yun fight at Mount Astronomia."

Lu Yun: ……

He hadn't thought much of his name before. There were at least eighty million Lu Yuns in the chief worlds, if not eight hundred million. He thought of walking around with his real name, but thought better of it since it was so prevalent.

But after Qu Cu's parting words, he didn't know what to think anymore.

"How did the Huangpang Supreme die?" he asked subconsciously.

Supremes dominated their territory in the chief worlds, so it was a major event when one died. The outside realm had reverberated for shock for a long time after Qing Buyi killed the Nebula Supreme.

"I don't know… he was just gone one day." Hu Ruofei rubbed his head.

Lu Yun: ……

……

Instead of immediately setting out for the Firmament Prison, Lu Yun spent some time in Crouching Cow secretly giving pointers to the two immortals. At the same time, he called upon formula dao to derive current events in the prison.

Since he possessed a tiny fragment of the Firmament Prison, he could use it to calculate and forecast the various layouts and changes in the locale.

……

"What?! You're on Huangpang?!" The Myriad Spirit Supreme's eyes widened and he stared incredulously at his martial nephew. When did Lu Yun leave the Land of Reincarnation??

As a spacetime traveler, Qing Buyi could walk through space and time. Thus, leaving with Lu Yun was a walk in the park.

Myriad Spirit's projection was still in the Land of Reincarnation. Apart from initially building up Lu Qing's reputation to gain more time for Lu Yun, he kept a low profile otherwise. He had what he came here for, so all he needed to do was to stay and take care of some trouble for Lu Yun.

So when Lu Yun's replica suddenly came to him and said that he was on Huangpang, Myriad Spirit didn't know what to think.

"Is something off about this major world?"

"Not really, just that a supreme died there and their soul refuses to depart." Myriad Spirit thought for a bit. The Huangpang Supreme and the Huangpang major world were hardly secrets in the supreme's social circle. He was just shocked that Lu Yun had somehow slipped out beneath his nose. If the chief worlds discovered where Lu Yun was, he wouldn't make it back alive. "The supreme's aggrieved soul seems to be agitating lately, wanting to destroy the major world."
