Chapter 1012: Chapter 1031: Heavenly Decree
The Undying Immortal Scripture, the Chaotic Technique, seemingly originates from beyond the Three Realms. It is also the main cultivation technique of Ye Xuan, and he has embarked on proving Dao with power through it.
On this day, Lin Feiyun knelt at the feet of Ye Xuan, formally accepting Ye Xuan as his master, and even swore a Heart Demon Oath never to betray Ye Xuan, otherwise his soul would scatter and he would never reincarnate.
Ye Xuan merely smiled lightly at Lin Feiyun’s vow, not taking it to heart, for he was well aware of what kind of person Lin Feiyun was. Ye Xuan had his own purposes after all.
Whether it was Lin Feiyun or Li Youyun, both were simply pieces on his chessboard, and that was their destiny.
Subsequently.
Ye Xuan bestowed the Undying Immortal Scripture upon Lin Feiyun, granting him a series of heavenly treasures like the Golden Core Peach, and set a time limit of thirty thousand years for him.
Within thirty thousand years, Lin Feiyun must cultivate to the Quasi-Saint Realm. If he fails to reach the Quasi-Saint after thirty thousand years, Ye Xuan would personally take his life.
To make a mortal enter the Quasi-Saint Realm in thirty thousand years, it’s virtually as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
No one wants to die, especially someone like Lin Feiyun who values his life above all else, and he had no other choice.
Lin Feiyun still agreed, because he believed he could succeed. This was his only chance, a chance to change his destiny.
“Disciple bids farewell.”
Lin Feiyun bowed and exited the Heavenly Venerate Palace, as he wanted to cultivate the Undying Immortal Scripture at the earliest moment. Thirty thousand years seemed long, but stepping into the Quasi-Saint Realm was an almost impossible task. Every second was precious to Lin Feiyun, and he didn’t want to waste a moment.
Watching Lin Feiyun leave, Huang Pangzi had a look of concern and said, “Sir, is it appropriate to pass the Undying Immortal Scripture to this person?”
“There’s nothing inappropriate. The Undying Immortal Scripture I gave him lacks the Forbidden Chapter,” Ye Xuan said lightly.
“I see!”
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Huang Pangzi finally relaxed, though he was slightly puzzled, “But without the Forbidden Chapter, how can Lin Feiyun achieve the Quasi-Saint Realm in thirty thousand years just with an incomplete Undying Immortal Scripture?”
“Hehe.”
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, his voice unfathomable, “Don’t forget, the Myraid Feet Red Dust Technique that Li Youyun received is also incomplete, yet he quickly mastered the first layer, didn’t he?”
“If Lin Feiyun cannot surpass Li Youyun, then he is of no use to me, and naturally, I will kill him in thirty thousand years.”
Actually, Ye Xuan didn’t tell Huang Pangzi one thing.
Li Youyun has cultivated the Myraid Feet Red Dust Technique, so Luo Hou will certainly take notice of him, and the two will inevitably cross paths because they both cultivate this technique.
This was a difficult challenge Lu Jie posed to Luo Hou, a battle invite, to see if Luo Hou dared to accept it.
Similarly, Ye Xuan took Lin Feiyun as a disciple, passing him the Undying Immortal Scripture, with his own plans in mind. As long as Lin Feiyun could master the Undying Immortal Scripture and reach the Quasi-Saint Realm, he would be of great use to Ye Xuan.
…
At the same time.
In the Earth Immortal Realm, amidst the Myraid Feet Red Dust, Luo Hou sensed something and gazed towards the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven, his eyes seemingly penetrating the void to look at someone.
“Ye Xuan, you’re quite interesting. Things are getting more intriguing,” Luo Hou murmured with a slight smile.
“Gu Beichen, the fate between master and disciple has ended, you may leave.”
Luo Hou strolled across the sky, Gu Beichen’s expression slightly changed, but he did not follow Luo Hou. He knew that since Luo Hou had asked him to leave, following him would be futile.
“Go back and tell Ye Xuan that I accept his challenge, and I will personally visit in thirty thousand years,” Luo Hou drifted away, but his voice lingered in Gu Beichen’s ears.
…
Time flies, the seas change into mulberry fields, and eons pass in a blink.
A thousand years’ time!
A thousand years, which is extremely long even for an immortal, yet for the Three Realms it is but a brief period.
The Three Realms are stable and peaceful. Since the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven governs heaven, earth, and humanity, all Daoist sects have submitted, and even followers of the Saints remain hidden.
The Chan Sect does not appear in the Three Realms. The Western Lingshan has closed its doors, and even the so-called Heavenly Dao Saints remain silent, while the Witch Demon lineage doesn’t show itself in the world.
A thousand years of peace, a thousand years of harmony. The Heavenly Court is supreme, and no one dares to provoke its authority, as doing so would be courting death.
The Heavenly Dao Saint, Ziwei Heavenly Emperor, along with many Quasi-Saints holding court in the Heavenly Court, and tens of thousands of Daluo Golden Immortals, besides which, the rest of the immortals and demon kings are innumerable, leading to the peak of strength in the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven.
However, peace is always temporary. On a certain day after a thousand years, a Holy Light descends from beyond the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven, accompanied by a Saint’s Decree descending upon the Heavenly Court, causing a stir in the Three Realms.
No one knows which Heavenly Dao Saint issued the decree, nor what was written on it, but this day, the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven was extremely shaken, and eighty-one chimes could be heard throughout the Heavenly Court.
Inside the Heavenly Venerate Palace.
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in the void, wisps of black Holy Light enveloping him, making him seem to merge into nothingness, with black lotus flowers blooming and withering around him, as the rumbling sound of the Great Dao echoed within him.
Buzz!
Space-time shifted, the void twisted, Ye Xuan’s brow glimmered with a seedling, shining silver flickering as it swayed in his brow, causing the surrounding space to shatter extremely, only to begin eerily restoring.
A thousand years have passed; Ye Xuan’s cultivation of the Heavenly Dao Fifth Tribulation is fully solidified, the Space-Time Seed has taken root and sprouted as his cultivation advanced, and his comprehension of the Power of Space-Time has deepened.
Everything is developing in a positive direction, and this thousand years is extremely crucial to Ye Xuan, stealthily progressing him towards the Heavenly Dao Sixth Tribulation.
“What is destined to come will eventually come, and the debts of karma must be repaid.”
Time seemed to halt, space appeared to freeze, Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes, a cold voice emerging from his lips, his pupils rotating like great stars, as the gates of the Heavenly Venerate Palace rumbled open.
“The Heavenly Court requests an audience with the Heavenly Venerate.”
Outside the Heavenly Venerate Palace, Ziwei Heavenly Emperor stood holding the Saint’s Decree, while the whole Heavenly Court knelt on the ground, chanting Ye Xuan’s title as the Heavenly Venerate.
“I have already understood, you may all leave.”
Ye Xuan’s hoarse voice came from within the Heavenly Venerate Palace, and the Saint’s Decree in Ziwei Heavenly Emperor’s hand transformed into a golden light entering the Heavenly Venerate Palace.
“We take our leave.”
The entire Heavenly Court bowed and retreated, and although Ziwei Heavenly Emperor wished to enter the Heavenly Venerate Palace, the doors shut with a rumble, indicating that Ye Xuan did not wish for him to be involved in this matter.
