Chapter 1885: No Right to Choose

“Escaping that weird place at twenty-eight levels of sequence and being bold enough to throw yourself into the mess here… You must have an impressive background, huh?” A purple figure flashed in front of Lu Yun’s eyes as a young man appeared. Dressed in long purple robes, he wore a tiny golden crown in his hair and an aureate belt around his waist.

However, Lu Yun could tell that it was no belt of typical jade—it was a soft spear wrapped around the young man.

“Zhu Lingyan, disciple of the Myriad Spirit Grand Supreme, greets the dao brother.” Lu Yun raised cupped fists at the young man.

“A disciple of a grand supreme!” The young man started and hastily returned the gesture. “Swing of the Autumnus Realm.”

“S…wing?” Lu Yun blinked.

The young man grinned awkwardly. “My dad says that my mom gave birth to me when she was swinging, so he called me Swing.”

Lu Yun rubbed his nose, but was far more surprised that the young man was from the Autumnus Realm! The greatest among the chief worlds was from this faction!

While Swing appeared to be a young man, the power around him was so dense that Lu Yun couldn’t tell how many levels of sequence he’d accessed. The chief worlds at large knew very little about the Autumnus Realm. All Myriad Spirit had said about them was not to get on their bad side.

Who would’ve thought that he’d randomly run into one of their members here?

“Is dao brother also here for the Sea of Creation?” Lu Yun cut straight to the chase.

“The sea is where the azure dragon ancestral god was born, and legend has it that Patriarch Leize was born there as well. They are both apex powerhouses of existence, so who doesn’t want it?” However, Swing shook his head. “This is something that we can only watch the show for. We can’t touch it.”

He raised another cupped fist salute before quickly departing. He was mostly interested in why a twenty-eighth level sequence kid had made it out unscathed from the void filled with rampaging emotion. Befriend Lu Yun? Was there a need for anyone from the Autumnus Realm to make friends?

Lu Yun shook his head and went in another direction. Based on his exchange with Swing, the Sea of Creation was definitely here and already being contested. Unfortunately, he was too weak to do anything. He could only see the massive mountain behind him upon arriving here, as well as the endless plains in front. There was nothing else he could glimpse apart from those.

Swing was right, they weren’t qualified to fight for the treasure.

“So what did the Myriad Spirit Grand Supreme send me here for? For the dragons? Or the two girls?” Lu Yun shook his head with bafflement and climbed a random tree, taking stock of the situation around him.

There were plenty of people in this unknown world already. Their expectant gazes were focused on the enormous plains at the foot of the mountain.

“Just focus on cultivating, don’t worry about anything else.” Firstspirit’s voice suddenly traveled into Lu Yun’s mind.

“What are you doing here?” he quickly asked.

“Because master wants the Sea of Creation, of course.” Since she hadn’t shown herself, Lu Yun couldn’t be certain where she was. “The appearance of the treasure gives rise to all sorts of fluctuations in order. That effect on the surroundings will be exceedingly beneficial to you. You are twenty-eight levels now—the ripples from the treasure’s emergence will help you become a senior cultivator!

“From there, you truly set foot onto the path of sequence.”

“What was with that world earlier?” Lu Yun frowned. There didn’t seem to be a need for the world of uncontrollable emotion. Was it simply to fend off the sequence cultivators that didn’t have impressive backing?

Firstspirit paused—Lu Yun could tell that she didn’t want to answer the question. Or couldn’t?

Plainly, there was a specific purpose for that world. He decided to drop the matter since he’d likely still be trapped there if not for Yun Yi. He didn’t have the right to be here either, much less know the truth behind that world of emotion.

There were only two reasons for Myriad Spirit and Firstspirit bringing him here. The first because they wanted to protect him and formula dao, and the second for the ripples that occurred when the Sea of Creation appeared.

Everything else was par for the course.

Chu Xingran was also qualified to train in the ripples of the emerging treasure, but Yun Yi had other plans for him.

Lu Yun calmed his mind of a myriad of thoughts and sought inner peace. All that mattered now was that everything happening had nothing to do with him. He just needed to focus wholeheartedly on cultivation and growing stronger. He needed to grow so strong that he could see the truth of this entire world and didn’t need to find a thigh to hug.

His greatest benefit thus far in the World of Soul Dominion was learning the truth of this world. The weak had no right to choose and Lu Yun could only quietly bear the arrangements that Yun Yi and Tailong made for him.

He could tolerate that, but there were some things that were his bottom line.

Time passed by with each tick while he maintained a state of perfect serenity. He’d never meditated with such tranquility before, whether in the world of immortals or in recent times. As opposed to cultivation, it’d be more accurate to call this honing his heart and mind. He was strengthening his mental state so that it could encompass and tolerate more.

Immortal dao re-coalesced in his body, from the first level to twenty-eight. Instead of accessing new levels of sequence, he silently fortified what he had.

When it felt like someone pushed him, he opened his eyes.

“Is everything over?” he asked the face in front of him, the Firstspirit Grand Supreme was here.

She nodded with satisfaction at seeing that the young man was still twenty-eight levels of sequence. Firstspirit would’ve thought a bit less of Lu Yun if he was in a rush for achievement and bounded up several levels in a row.

Although he was still twenty-eight levels, he was more than three times stronger than before.

“It’s over. Pity we couldn’t beat out the rest,” she nodded with immense regret.

The Sea of Creation was extraordinarily important to Leize and the azure dragon ancestral god. Sadly, the brother and sister duo hadn’t been able to triumph over the competition.

Lu Yun took a look at the mountain behind him; the world of emotion was within it.

“The treasure wouldn’t have appeared without the sacrifices of gore in that world,” Firstspirit mentioned. “You must grow stronger. Otherwise, there may come a day in which you become a sacrifice yourself. The weak have no right to choose.”
