Chapter 1639: The Order of Immortal Dao

“Understood!” Situ Lang rushed off the altar and rounded up the one million cultivators, as well as the twenty thousand from earlier. Previously under heavy occupation, Truecloud Nation bounced back from the attention. Her armies arrived at the altar and methodically took inventory of their new captives.

“Milord… Truecloud Nation is directly subordinate to Truecloud Sect. Since it belongs to you now, should we change the kingdom’s name?” Marquis Windcloud looked to be twenty-eight years old and his cultivation had reached peak spirit realm. He would set foot into the void realm with a little more effort and be able to refine the energy of the world.

Anyone who could advance to this step possessed immense willpower or was a tremendous genius. Though the marquis was such a genius, his status and background relegated him to being a servant. While he oversaw the million cultivators of Truecloud Nation, he possessed no standing whatsoever. Thus, he’d never receive any void realm cultivation methods and would find it almost impossible to progress.

“Change the nation’s name?” Lu Yun cocked his head with thought. “No, Truecloud Nation is a good name.” He looked the marquis up and down. “Do you hold a grudge against the Truecloud Sect?”

Xia Xu’s expression flickered with surprise.

“Yes,” Marquis Windcloud answered without skipping a beat. “My younger sister was smart and had great potential. She was selected for the sect thirteen years ago and I received word of her death three months past. I want to investigate her death, but… hah.”

Marquis Windcloud also qualified to enter the Truecloud Sect with his level of potential, but someone had taken his spot many years ago. With the mysterious death of his sister, it fanned renewed flames of resentment toward the sect.

However, Truecloud Sect was the master of Truecloud Nation and her two vassal nations. Since the sect possessed a world of immortals and an immortal king, that made it one of the strongest factions in Myriadsea World.

In comparison, the marquis was less than an ant to the august gathering. Situ Lang and Xia Xu were both aware of his circumstances, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Lu Yun sized him up and nodded. “Here is a void realm—er, here they come again. This is getting annoying.”

He lifted his head to regard the three immortals that’d come at some unknown point in time. Three empyrean immortals glared murderously back at him.

“As I thought, their immortals are on a Hongmeng level,” Lu Yun nodded to himself. “Immortals from Ruina Immortal Nation?”

“Hmph!” snorted their leader—a bearded man in black robes. “Don’t think you can do as you want in Myriadsea World just because you used a few tricks to destroy the Immortal Slaughter Formation. This is no place for immortals, so you will come with us to the world of immortals!”

“Hmm?” Lu Yun blinked. “Go to the world of immortals?”

“Correct!” sneered the man. “Anyone who becomes an immortal must ascend to a world of immortals and endure the tests of the anti-reversion passages before they can enter a lower world again.

“You have no traces from a world of immortals on you, so you’re not from one of our worlds!”

The man regarded Lu Yun coolly and took out a medallion. It glistened with immortal light that bounced off the etching of an unfamiliar creature. The creature was dragon shaped with a turtle shell, leading with a phoenix head and armed with tiger claws. It looked like an amalgamation of the four divine beasts.

A terrifying aura exuded from the etching and pounced on Lu Yun. If it wasn’t for his core essence being a World Manifest, he would’ve been subdued by the beast even if he was a peak Hongmeng potentate.

“Who are you?” Lu Yun frowned at the three empyrean immortals. Though their strength was quite ordinary, their medallion was far from it. The medallion represented their status.

“You you you—the Medallion of Sequence can’t suppress you??” The leading immortal jerked with shock and he rapidly backed up.

“You’re the guardians of sequence! The legendary guardians of sequence!” Marquish Windcloud shrieked. Xia Xu treated his outburst with baffled incomprehension; he’d never heard of the name before.

“Sequence?!” That was the only word Lu Yun honed in on—sequence!

What kind of damned place is this, why is the word “sequence” appearing here?? Is it the same sequence as the one I know?

Lu Yun shot into the air before anyone could react and dashed to the leading immortal, grabbing the medallion from his hands.

“Roar!!” The medallion seemed ready to come alive as a snarling beast the moment Lu Yun laid hands on it.

“Method of nothing!” he shouted.

Hummmm.

The method of nothing from the overlord of Ice, the one that could access sequence, immediately activated.

A lilac haze appeared around Lu Yun’s body—the sequence of time. It was swiftly replaced by a milky radiance—the light of immortal dao. He quickly discovered that the medallion was quieting down, that the savage beast within also bowed its head to him.

“The sequence of immortal dao?” Lu Yun blinked, suddenly understanding what sequence was.

Sequence wasn’t a rule or a great dao, but an existence that defined what they were. It provided a certain rhythm to all things, preventing them from falling into disorder. Whether it was the six orders of the highest degrees or the four supreme orders, all were such cases.

It could be further divided into various categories and orders, such as the order of time. This order wasn’t the power of time, but a way to define it so that time would operate according to a reliable pattern.

Countless orders wove together to form sequence—an even stronger order born from the collective. Once sequence crystallized, it collected all of its orders to create a world of sequence.

Great daos intersected with each other and laws congregated in a world of sequence. When sequence was activated, its power could be used to access the laws and daos under its jurisdiction.

Lu Yun had been able to utilize the sequence of time prior to this and exile certain powerhouses into time because the laws and great daos of time were present in its world of sequence. And now, he saw the sequence of immortal dao in the medallion in his hand.

The sequence was incredibly weak and hadn’t formed a world yet. In Lu Yun and Mo Yi’s plan, the world of immortal dao they wanted to create was the world of immortal dao sequence that would keep the orders of the fourth realm under control.

Their immortal dao was yet to reach the fourth realm, so although it’d formed order, it hadn’t evolved to sequence.

The immortal dao of this tiny Myriadsea World has already formed sequence??

Lu Yun couldn’t process what he was seeing.
