Chapter 1990 – The Primordial World of Immortals
“Come on, keep up!” Lu Feng growled when a blank expression remained plastered on Lu Yun’s face. “You’re normally pretty quick-witted, so how come you lose all of your brains at a time like this?
“Take a look at this world, it’s the intersection of all realms within existence. It’s the final product of all order that exists, a true heaven and earth!
“Doesn’t this place look like your current world of immortals? Mortals cultivate in the lower realm and take the ascent protocol to the world of immortals when they reach immortality. The world itself is the congregation of all order to be found in the lower worlds. It connects the worlds in the first realm to each other, as well as the ones in the chaos and Hongmeng!”
Lu Yun shook involuntarily. He had indeed found the place a bit familiar, but didn’t make the connection as it was slightly different from the home of his heart. But with Lu Feng’s reminder, he realized that this major world was indeed quite similar to the world of immortals.
This was another world of immortals, an incomparably ancient one.
“C’mon, let’s go get the Jade Record of Creation!” Lu Feng grabbed Lu Yun’s collar and made to dive underground again.
The treasure was the true goal of their trip. It contained the order of creation from the five supreme orders. Not even the azure dragon ancestral god had obtained that full order back in his day.
“I’ll go with you!” Jin Huo made to follow them.
“No, don’t!” Lu Feng jumped with shock when she understood her intentions. “While you have two thirds of the order of life on you, that doesn’t hold a candle to the Jade Record of Creation. If you go below ground with us, the treasure will eat you so it can use your portion of order to physically manifest and become a true living being!”
Jin Huo blanched and stopped in her tracks, nodding her understanding.
“Give me the girl in your arms!” Lu Feng suddenly saw Chu Xun and waved her to him before Jin Huo could respond. “Heh heh heh, someone’s using this little girl as bait to lure in the two peak grand supremes of the chief worlds. Sucks to be them, I’m not gonna let them succeed.”
He sliced his hand through the void and created a spatial fissure, tossing Chu Xun in before Lu Yun could react.
“What?!” the young man started.
“Don’t worry, I’m a spacetime traveler. That’s a spacetime jail that I’ve created. The little girl is perfectly safe in there.” Lu Feng rubbed his bottom as he spoke and bit off, “Damn that Miao, he kicked me in the ass! I’m going to get him for that!” He dragged Lu Yun under the ground as he complained.
“…Miao?” Lu Yun narrowed his eyes. That was someone who wanted to kill him out of fear that Lu Yun might reveal his identity. Even more important was that he had no way of repaying the young man for releasing him, so he had no choice but to kill Lu Yun to discharge his karmic debt.
All was dark beneath the earth. Currents of chaos qi brewed within the soil, nearly creating the misconception that they were in the chaos.
The chaos here was infinitely more terrifying than the second realm that he’d once experienced—Lu Yun even saw something he didn’t think he’d see.
Chaos dirt!
The Moran sisters once used chaos dirt to conceal their auras; the dirt they used was exceedingly comparable to what was available here. Their dirt, however, had been retrieved from the Hongmeng in the fourth realm and further refined. That chaos dirt had been turned into something much like the chaos dirt here.
No one knew the origins of the Moran Clan, but an astonishing thought suddenly struck Lu Yun. Perhaps their roots were found here!
Currents of chaos qi streaked past them like sharp flying swords, piercing through the outward layer of energy protecting him and grazing past his physical body. He was quickly covered in cuts, but Lu Yun remained unmoved.
He sensed numerous peak grand supremes around him—they battled each other furiously. Chen Xiao, Qing Buyi, and Tailong were utilizing the strength of peak grand supremes. They worked together to keep a strangely shaped peak grand supreme in their center and used an odd true fire to slowly refine their target.
A ball of hazy purple qi drifted below the region of chaos—a Hongmeng world!
It wasn’t very big. In fact, it was far smaller than the decayed world above them and could be more described as pitiably tiny. Everything here seemed to be the opposite of the current world of immortals.
“The Jade Record of Creation is in the Hongmeng?” Lu Yun raised a brow and shifted his body, dismissing the circulating power of reincarnation in his body and releasing pure immortal force.
That treasure was indeed the Jade Record of Creation, but there was also pure immortal power to be found within it. Not only that, but he could sense a tiny root in the treasure—the root of the Immortal Myriadtree.
Immortal dao was derived from this tree and the tree was rooted in the Jade Record of Creation!
There was one such Immortal Myriadtree in Fairylands of the current world of immortals. If it could take root in their Jade Record of Creation, then immortal dao would advance explosively as a whole. There would be no great dao in the chief worlds that could rival it!
Lu Yun’s eyes lit up and a fire lit in his heart. He was ready to throw himself at the Hongmeng world without further thought, but a refreshing cool air flowed out of the Tome of Life and Death and trickled through him.
He shuddered and awoke from his reverie.
“Wow, that is… something. It spontaneously triggered my deepest, innermost desires.” He nearly choked on his next breath and jerked to a stop, wiping away the sweat on his forehead.
Something had changed the Jade Record of Creation from the ultimate treasure that’d manifested immortal dao and anchored the worlds. If the Immortal Myriadtree was planted in it now, the final outcome would be a polluting of immortal dao.
There was only one driving force in Lu Yun’s mind now—destroy the Jade Record of Creation!
Hongjun surely had had the ability to take the entire treasure with him when he visited; he was already capable of bottling its aura. However, he’d chosen to take just a hint of its energy and create a brand new Jade Record of Creation.
He’d most likely already realized the problem then.
“Awake now?” Lu Feng leered at his younger brother.
Lu Yun ignored him and commanded a flare of bronze light from the spear in his hand. The entire weapon turned into light and the young man darted forward, throwing Heavenfall out.
Hummmmmm.
A massive bloom of bronze light nailed the ball of Hongmeng qi. An infuriated shriek suddenly echoed around them.
