Chapter 1637: Seeds of the Immortal Tree
“Immortal dao doesn’t rule this world, but the Immortal Myriadtree exists here…” Lu Yun felt an incoming headache and subconsciously slipped back into a deep sleep.
After an unknown period of time, the immortal dao in his body awakened once more and erupted with a force that was ten times stronger than the first time. It filled Lu Yun’s meridians like an enormous river, sculpting a body for him.
What had been a humanoid piece of charcoal slowly began to fill out with flesh and blood. A milky white radiance enveloped Lu Yun’s body as wisps of immortal force gathered together, following the newly grown meridians.
Lu Yun heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn’t die now and could facilitate his own recovery. Most importantly, he discovered that the immortal dao of the Myriadsea World was somehow converging on him and connecting with his immortal dao.
“This isn’t an effect that ten flasks of Immortal Myriadtree sap can bring to bear… What the heck has Situ Lang done?” Lu Yun extended his consciousness outward.
……
Xia Xu, Situ Lang, and Marquis Windcloud stood with pained expressions on the altar. They were the only three people left of Truecloud Nation. Everyone else had been captured or surrendered. The only territory belonging to the nation was this tiny altar.
Twenty thousand rays of sword light hovered in the air around the altar. Cultivators in blue daoist robes stared expressionlessly at the three.
“Everyone in Truecloud Nation can be pardoned, but your crimes are too heinous to be forgiven!” Their leader was a young man who looked eighteen years old. His features were gentle and delicately formed, but for the moment, he brimmed with violence.
“Situ Lang!” he shouted. “I let it go when you stole a flask of sap last time because you are a disciple of Truecloud Sect and your nation was facing a crisis. How dare you return and steal the great tree’s seed?! You are vile, despicable, and wholly beyond redemption!
“It involves more than just you this time, Situ Lang, your Truecloud Sect must pay the price as well!”
Though the young man roared with indignation, the twenty thousand Ruina cultivators behind him didn’t make a move. The pillar of milky radiance in the center of the altar was strength from the immortal dao. It should be the reason behind Situ Lang stealing the seed.
As opposed to lecturing Situ Lang, the young man’s words were more for the unknown immortal behind the three. Everyone knew that an immortal had arrived in Truecloud Sect to hold back the tide of beasts. Everyone also knew that the sect only had themselves to blame for the beast tide.
The monster spirits were marshaling their strength as this very second and were preparing a fresh offensive.
No one imagined that Situ Lang would be so brazen as to steal the seed of the Immortal Myriadtree at this time!
Situ Lang wanted to burst into tears. He didn’t know why the tree’s seed had landed in his hand either. He’d only wanted tree sap, but the fully formed seed had suddenly flown to his hand for some reason. Though tremendously surprised, he hadn’t dwelled on the matter and fled Ruina Immortal Nation with the ten flasks and seed.
Ruina Immortal Nation could’ve overlooked his theft of tree sap, but the seed was much too important. In Myriadsea World, each seed could form a world of immortals. This particular seed had long been reserved by a major cultivation sect on Unsullied Immortal Island.
The island’s sole world of immortals was immensely overpopulated and they desperately needed a second world. These seeds required thirty thousand years to bud, and the latest had been stolen at the last second by Situ Lang!
Ruina cultivators immediately flew into a rage and chased the preceptor back to Truecloud Nation, occupying its territory. The young man speaking was the Ruina crown prince, Dongfang Ao. Infinitely close to becoming an immortal, he was the second strongest powerhouse in Myriadsea World. He quickly suppressed Truecloud Nation and took full control.
If Xia Xu hadn’t known that the immortal on the altar was quite extraordinary, he would’ve surrendered a long time ago and handed Situ Lang over.
The altar was the foundation of the nation and could communicate with Truecloud Sect’s world of immortals. The nation could be rebuilt as long as the altar wasn’t destroyed. In addition, powerful protections surrounded the altar. Only true immortals could shake them; regular cultivators would be hard pressed to scratch them.
“Your Highness, I have no desire to give offense in this matter. My sect can pay double the price for the tree’s seed!” Lost in steadily brightening immortal light behind them, Situ Lang snapped back to his senses and took a deep breath.
“Double the price?” A strange light flickered in Dongfang Ao’s eyes. “Unsullied Immortal Island is paying a hefty price.”
“The Truecloud Sect will pay double of whatever they’re paying!” Situ Lang declared. “When we bought our seed, we spent thirty million immortal stones…”
“Hahaha!!” Dongfang Ao roared with laughter. “The Truecloud Immortal King did indeed spend thirty million immortal stones, but this time, Unsullied Immortal Island is paying three hundred million!
“If Truecloud Sect wishes to purchase it, you need to pay six hundred million,” he sneered.
The Truecloud Immortal King was one of the few immortal kings in Myriadsea World, but Unsullied Immortal Island also possessed an immortal king of their own. If Ruina Immortal Nation didn’t handle things properly, they could easily offend two immortal kings.
Though they also possessed immortal kings, it was never a good thing to offend another.
“Have your king come meet me,” a dignified voice suddenly echoed in Dongfang Ao’s mind.
“You’re the immortal from Truecloud Sect…”
“I said, have your king come meet me.” The voice was so magnificent that it reverberated mightily beneath the heavens. All Ruina cultivators fell down from the sky, like dumplings falling into a pot of water.
“You!” Dongfang Ao snarled. “Even if you’re an immortal from Truecloud Sect, you can’t—”
“They are still alive, for now. If you blather on for one more word, I’ll kill them all.” Lu Yun grew irate. He could tell that Dongfang Ao was peak void realm and on the cusp of reaching immortality. He was a peak chaos sovereign.
In other words, a gnat to Lu Yun.
Dongfang Ao gnashed his teeth and left with his flying sword.
