Chapter 468: Chapter 91: Projecting into Ancient History, Spreading Across All Realms, The Final Attainment
"Lu Ya, our paths are different. We cannot work together," True Martial said coldly.
"Such a pity."
Lu Ya Daoist nodded slightly, turning his gaze to look down upon the Human World, his sight falling upon the North Sea Eye.
’An Upper Grade Immortal... If he truly achieves it, it will only be more trouble.’
’Let’s stop him at Middle Grade, then.’
Lu Ya Daoist muttered to himself as a spinning gourd materialized in his hand. With a soft command:
"Go."
The mouth of the gourd spewed forth a torrent of Immortal Light that blotted out the sky. A Celestial Blade, nestled within, suddenly spun and plunged toward the North Sea along with the waterfall of Immortal Light!
Lu Ya said with a faint smile:
"The Immortal Light falls like a waterfall from the Northern Celestial Court. Tell me, Great Emperor, do you think that Profound Yellow Emperor will assume you were the one who attacked?"
Emperor True Martial’s face fell.
"You!"
"Haha." Lu Ya let out a dry laugh, remaining perfectly still amidst True Martial’s killing intent. "Why so angry, Great Emperor?"
He pointed a finger downward. True Martial retreated several steps, but the finger pressed down on his head, forcing him back onto his Emperor’s Throne, unable to move a muscle.
The Northern Emperor was inwardly horrified.
"Away it goes, away it goes."
Lu Ya seemed certain the Celestial Blade could whittle an Upper Grade Immortal down to a Middle Grade one. Without another glance at the North Sea Eye, he swaggered off.
As he left, his voice drifted back:
"Northern Emperor, do not reveal my existence to anyone. Otherwise..."
"I will strike you down."
As his voice faded, Daoist Monarch Lu Ya’s figure vanished without a trace. Emperor True Martial remained silent on his Emperor’s Throne. Suddenly, a crack appeared on his head, the fissure spreading down his entire body.
"Lu Ya..."
Deep dread filled his eyes.
.........
「Ruins Sea Eye.」
The cosmic momentum had completely fused with Lu Xuan’s body.
In his Physique, every drop of blood, every Acupoint, every tiny particle, was glowing!
This radiance shone through his skin, projecting outward and illuminating the magnificent spectacle of the Celestial Myriad Realms!
In that instant, Lu Xuan felt a dizzying sensation, as if he himself now presided over the Celestial Realms, seated above all worlds, looking down upon everything...
The expressions of the Daluo observers shifted. Kunpeng exclaimed in awe:
"I’d long heard that Upper Grade Immortals exhibit features of the Celestial Realms ahead of schedule, projecting themselves into the myriad worlds and birthing countless other selves... So it’s true!"
As it whispered in amazement,
The streams of radiance bursting from Lu Xuan’s body followed illusory aspects and the threads of Cause and Effect, projecting themselves, bit by bit, into every single world.
They even pierced through the barriers of Years and Time, extending back into the past!
"A Daluo trait?" Emperor Gouchen started, but then immediately shook his head.
"No, it isn’t a Daluo trait. He’s merely leveraging the momentum of the Great Heaven and Earth to temporarily shatter the barrier of Years and reflect himself into the past."
"Even so, it is extraordinary." Emperor of Longevity’s expression was grim as he narrowed his eyes.
"With an experience like this under his belt, it will be far simpler for the Profound Yellow Emperor to attain the Celestial Realms or the Daluo realm in the future..."
While the Daluo conversed,
Innumerable strands of radiance traced their way back to antiquity, reflecting into the Celestial Myriad Realms of a bygone era and engraving their mark upon the Ancient History of all worlds!
Across countless lands and worlds, new and ancient myths were born, each one integrating seamlessly into the lore of its respective realm!
Saint Lu deposed the Celestial Court, flogged the Emperor, transformed into the Profound Yellow Emperor, split the Southern Celestial Court, and slayed the lord of the Northern Celestial Court...
These deeds left legends across all worlds, but in the very next instant, a Great Magical Power temporarily concealed them all.
A supreme Existence residing in Douluo Palace made a move, altering the myths and legends spreading across the worlds,
...to ensure no other Dao Fruit would notice anything amiss, and to ensure everything aligned with the known deeds of the Profound Yellow Emperor.
At this very moment,
The cosmic momentum had fully formed and projected into the Celestial Realms, altering the Ancient History of the myriad worlds!
「In the Current World, within a certain Great Realm.」
A remote town. An old-fashioned private school.
"Teacher," a four-year-old Lu Xiuyuan asked, pointing inquisitively at an ancient text.
"Are the myths and legends written in here all real?"
The old teacher, who appeared to be a simple village tutor but was in fact the master of a great sect and an Immortal, said with a gentle smile:
"It’s difficult to tell what’s real and what’s not. Take the Supreme Emperor of Central Profound Yellow from this myth, for example. Many ancient texts can confirm his Existence,
but a figure like that should be eternal and undying. Yet, for tens of thousands of years, there has been no trace of him in the Current World, so it’s impossible to say for certain."
"Oh..." Lu Xiuyuan nodded, only half-understanding. He gave a small bow. "Thank you for your explanation, Teacher."
"Think nothing of it."
Similar scenes played out across all the worlds. The name of Profound Yellow spread throughout the realms, becoming deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people.
「Great Heaven and Earth. Qin Dynasty. Sea Eye Ruins.」
The illusory projections of All Realms floating around Lu Xuan slowly dissipated. In their place, the brand of the Celestial Myriad Realms appeared, beginning to fuse with his body, soul, and spirit!
Lower Grade Immortal... Middle Grade Immortal... Upper Grade Immortal!
The aura around Lu Xuan began to surge. The golden Immortal Dao Rhyme coalesced into a veritable ocean, deep as an abyss, churning without end!!
Tathagata Duobao remarked with a soft sigh:
"When an ordinary cultivator first achieves the Immortal realm, they gain a single wisp of Immortal Dao Rhyme. And yet, Junior Brother..."
He gazed at the sea of golden Immortal Dao Rhyme, vast as an abyss, and his heart trembled.
’So this is an Upper Grade Immortal?’
’So *this* is an Upper Grade Immortal!’
He had only just entered the realm, yet the Immortal Dao Rhyme he possessed already surpassed that of an ordinary Immortal at their peak. A single glance was enough to be blinded by the dazzling golden Dao Rhyme!
"Did he really do it?" The Immortal Mother’s expression was grimmer than ever. ’The Profound Yellow Emperor was already incredibly difficult to handle at the Grand Grade level.’
’Now he’s attained the Immortal realm, and as an Upper Grade Immortal, no less...’
’She suspected that after this boy consolidated his power, he would likely be able to battle and even slay an ordinary giant of the Celestial Realms!’
This was not impossible!
Suddenly, as the Daluo watched in alarm...
HUMMM!
A waterfall of Immortal Light descended from the Northern Celestial Court, tearing through the Ruins and surging down!
"Who is it?!"
Kunpeng’s expression changed drastically. It moved to intercept the Immortal Light, but the light pierced right through it!!
A Celestial Blade, hidden within the Infinite Immortal Light, came hurtling down, accompanied by a command that seemed to echo from the desolate past:
"Slay."
The Celestial Blade spun. The Daluo paled. Duobao and the others tried to intervene, but there was no time.
Time and Years themselves froze beneath the Celestial Blade, making it impossible to turn back the clock!
Lu Xuan’s eyes snapped open. In his vision, the Celestial Blade grew larger and larger...
The hair on his arms stood on end. He instinctively knew the blade’s purpose: to strike down his Immortal station before he could stabilize it, knocking him from the Upper Grade down to the Middle Grade!
’Danger! Danger!’
Lu Xuan tried to dodge, but the Celestial Blade had him locked. From beyond the Thirty-Three Celestial Realms, three wrathful gazes descended, only to pause in momentary confusion before withdrawing.
In that same instant,
"This Daoist Master has succeeded!!"
From within the Reverse Innate Peach Blossom Spring, a thunderous roar echoed. A ray of divine light appeared, splitting the Peach Blossom Spring apart as a figure leaped out!
"After three or four thousand Years, after absorbing Innate Material, I have finally attained the Immortal realm today!"
Chairman Ao Tao roared with laughter, his face beaming. Every breath he took was thick with Innate Material, and Immortal Dao Rhyme flowed around him!
He scanned his surroundings, smug and triumphant, only to see a blade falling toward him.
"The nerve!" Chairman Ao Tao glared, his brow furrowed. "How dare—"
CRACK!
The Celestial Blade struck. His Immortal Dao Fruit collapsed. The newly-minted Immortal plummeted, falling all the way back to the Great Grade Realm.
Having completed its task, the Celestial Blade also shattered, dissipating into nothingness.
"MY CULTIVATION!!" Chairman Ao Tao roared hoarsely.
Lu Xuan felt a wave of relief, a smile playing on his lips.
"Hm, it’s you?"
He perceived the chain of Cause and Effect, understood what had just happened, and his smile widened.
"Now, this Daoist Master has succeeded."
As his voice faded, Lu Xuan’s aura retracted and the cosmic phenomena subsided. The Three Flowers Gathered at his Crown, and the Five Qi Returned to their Origin.
Upper Grade Immortal. Attained.
