Chapter 345

[Immortal Position No. 9: Yujing Sheng]

Upon seeing the pattern on Lu Jiajing's forehead, one would understand it was a Dao Pattern. However, as Lu Jiajing moved her consciousness, this Dao Pattern slowly faded away. After all, who would reveal their own techniques to an enemy?

Only the Dao rhythm on her body remained, and looking at her, she seemed like a Fairy from the heavens; she had become equivalent to the world itself.

"Have you succeeded in proving the Dao?"

This was the first time Lin Yi had seen someone prove the Dao. Immortal Emperor Qiming did not count; before he arrived, Immortal Emperor Qiming had already reached the half-step to proving the Dao, so he did not count that as seeing someone else prove the Dao.

"I suppose so." Lu Jiajing sensed for a moment and nodded.

"What do you mean 'I suppose so'?" Lin Yi was somewhat amused and helpless; there was hesitation in Lu Jiajing's tone.

"After all, I have never seen a powerhouse who has proven their Dao Position." Lu Jiajing shook her head gently. "However, I think I am now a cut above Sister Qiming."

"I wouldn't dare say a cut above." Immortal Emperor Qiming interjected at this moment. "How is this merely a cut above? In front of you, I have absolutely no power to fight back. Of course, if I wanted to run, I could still escape. I have also seen those Dao Lords; they are exactly like you are now."

Immortal Emperor Qiming's gaze fell upon Lu Jiajing from a great distance, her voice filled with complexity. She had never seen anyone obtain a Dao Position so easily, and… Lin Yi had actually produced several Dao Positions. These Dao Positions could even be directly used by others to prove the Dao, without needing to consider whether they belonged to themselves…

It was impossible for him to have been hiding them all this time. So, where did these special Dao Positions come from? Like the Fusion, were they all produced by his "power"?

If one does not understand, one should ask. Immortal Emperor Qiming did not hide her confusion; after all, they were not outsiders. If Lin Yi did not tell them, it meant that this matter involved too much and could not be spoken of right now.

"Xiao Yi, where did you get these Dao Positions from? If it cannot be spoken of, then pretend I didn't ask."

Lin Yi pointed to the sky. "There is nothing that cannot be spoken of. If I must say… [It]."

"[It]?"

"Master, do you remember? You picked me up on a snowy night?" Lin Yi did not answer immediately and looked at Pei Yuhan.

Pei Yuhan nodded. How could she possibly forget such a thing? She pondered, and suddenly thought of something, her tone becoming somewhat subtle. "Are you saying… your biological mother?"

Lin Yi's Physique was somewhat peculiar, so those capable of giving birth to such a person must also be some supreme Cultivators, but… Pei Yuhan did not want to think about this question.

Clearly, she was the one who was Lin Yi's… not just Master, not just wife… she also wanted that sense of emotional belonging…

Lin Yi did not answer this question. He understood Pei Yuhan, and could also feel her sudden concern. "It is [One], it is [End], it is [Dao], it is [It]."

Lin Yi revealed these things, and in that instant, all the women felt a faint gentleness brush over their bodies and Souls. They felt the existence of [Dao] with absolute clarity.

"Alright." In the end, it was Lin Yi who spoke, allowing the women to snap out of that marvelous sensation.

On his palm, there were still two Essence of Reason. One was the Essence of Reason of Luck, and the other was the Essence of Reason of Formations. However, among the Fusion Fairies, none had fused with these two. Even those close to it had not incorporated Luck or Formations.

However, it did not matter. It just meant they could not fight as Dao Lords, but it could still amplify Lin Yi's combat power. Lin Yi took out the Sword and, with a casual tap, slapped these two Dao Positions into the Sword.

Originally, the Sword might not have been able to bear a Dao Position, but having acquired the "Fusion" ability, it could now bear them. Even if one were to place a Domain into its body, it would be fine, and a Dao Position was merely equivalent to a Domain.

Every Domain was a Dao Lord without its own will.

Previously, Lin Yi had turned the Qiongming Domain into his own Dao Domain. Although he could not compare to a Dao Lord—after all, he was not the Domain itself—he could borrow the power of the Qiongming Domain to trade a few blows with a Dao Lord, though it would continue to damage the Origin of the Qiongming Domain.

But now… he was already able to battle with a Dao Lord, and even emerge victorious!

After all, a Dao Lord only had one Dao Position, and he now held four Dao Positions in his hand—although two of them were incomplete.

"Do not pay too much attention; [It] is not the same as us."

Lin Yi flicked the Sword with his finger, adding a few more strands of strange patterns. The body of the Sword vibrated, emitting a sharp Sword hum.

"Mm." Pei Yuhan seemed to heave a sigh of relief. As long as it was not Lin Yi's mother, she could relax? She would not care? You are truly selfish, Pei Yuhan! To actually want to monopolize the positions of both Master and mother?!

Lin Yi ignored his Master's strange thoughts. She had a bit of twistedness in her, but in his eyes, it was just very cute.

"Next, it will be those Immortal Kings and Devil Heads."

Lin Yi spoke calmly, looking up to watch the Essence of Reason acting as anchors return throughout the Human Realm, while the phantom of the Creation Realm that had been pressing horizontally across the sky was also slowly dissipating.

"How could this be?!! How could this be?!! Immortal… Immortal Ascension!!!" The Old Ancestor roared, his eyes nearly splitting as he looked at the Immortal Realm that was about to leave the sky. He boosted his cultivation, and the moment he sensed the pressure on his body dissipate, he suddenly rushed into the high sky, lunging towards the phantom.

High in the sky, looking down at the Human Realm, there were countless existences like him, rising from those famous Immortal mountains and sects, their faces ferocious, weeping bitterly, their temperaments crazed. They did not resemble the Immortals spoken of by Mortals, but rather like terrifying Devil Heads.

Inside the Xiaoyao Sect. "Let me take one more look, let me take one more look… I also want to achieve Immortal Ascension…" The Old Ancestor was disheveled, muttering to himself. It was clearly an ancient sect named after 'Xiaoyao', yet it only had Cultivators trapped within "Xiaoyao".

After the pressure on his body dissipated, he reached out and wrapped his hand around his surrounding disciples and grandchildren, flying into the sky to chase after the Creation Realm phantom.

"Mm, this is truly joyous… I will also let you all achieve Immortal Ascension with me, hehehehahahahaha!!!" The Cultivators in his hand could not help but show joy in their eyes, their expressions identical to the Old Ancestor, all crazed.

Inside the Dragon Phoenix Tower. "Sigh, the few springs and autumns of the Human Realm, the joys and sorrows of being an Immortal… but it turns out, I cannot escape this Reincarnation either…" The Daoist waved the whisk in his hand with a complex expression and walked out of the Immortal Cave, looking at the deep blue sky that was about to appear on the horizon.

He no longer hesitated. With a slight tap of his toes, his entire person turned into a meteor, flying towards the high sky. Although his expression was peaceful, looking at the look in his eyes, it was no different from those crazed people.

Below the Sword Pavilion. The youth looked at the long Sword in his hand that was rumored to have fallen from the Immortal Realm. He reached out and stroked it gently, and the Sword body seemed to respond, emitting a faint hum.

"You also want to go and see that higher world, right?" The youth said in a low voice. Behind him, the Sword Tomb suddenly surged with Sword Intent. Following his will, Swords and Immortal Swords, rarely seen in the Human Realm for a thousand years, rushed into the high sky.

Amidst this ten thousand Swords paying homage, he turned into a streak of Sword light, piercing through the clouds and sky, and chased after the so-called Immortal Realm that was moving away at a speed far exceeding others.

However, everything was ultimately in vain. When the phantom completely dissipated, they looked down in a daze; beneath their feet was still the Human Realm, and surrounding them were mostly Fellow Daoists who were also seeking the Dao.

"Failed, the Immortal Ascension failed…" Someone said, utterly dejected. "Hahahaha… there is no such thing as an Immortal Realm, it's all fake! Fake!!" Someone let the earth's gravity envelop them, no longer controlling their spiritual power, turning into a meteor and falling towards the earth.

"Wuwuwu… Master, Senior Brother, Immortals do not exist… you were all wrong, all wrong…" Someone wailed in extreme grief. Ten thousand kinds of sorrow were all being played out at this moment.

Only those who had no obsession with Immortals could still remain indifferent. Xiaoyao cannot be sought; to seek Xiaoyao is to already lose Xiaoyao. People of the world are mostly obsessed, and because of this obsession, they develop fixations. When the fixation is too deep, they fall into the path of the Devil.

"There are so many Devil Heads in the Human Realm…" Seeing this, Lin Yi shook his head gently. He disappeared from where he stood.

General Xianhe's long halberd severed the whisk in Tai Yi's hand, but he himself was sent flying tens of thousands of miles away by another strike from Tai Yi. The aftermath of their strike shattered everything within ten thousand miles. Countless living beings died under this strike, and even their Souls were ground to pieces.

General Xianhe patted his chest. The Essence of Reason fluctuated, restoring the parts below his shattered chest. It was a pity, though; under this strike, many soldiers of the Mingguang Army were also damaged.

He casually slashed his halberd to his side, and an Immortal King phantom appeared, using the jade implement in its hand to block his halberd blade. The aftermath vibrated, the clouds in the sky were shattered into nothingness, and the earth beneath their feet suddenly split apart.

"Heh, you all have made quite a bit of progress, but you are still timid and cowardly, not even daring to fight for your lives."

General Xianhe wiped away the golden blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and sneered, but he responded more and more cautiously. He could talk trash with his mouth, but the weapon in his hand concerned his own life. If he fell here, then there would be trouble elsewhere. Death was nothing; he did not fear death, but he was afraid that his side would affect the plans of His Majesty and the Emperor.

"General Xianhe, surrender." Tai Yi's voice was gentle. "You cannot win. How much of your power do you have left? We have already ground down hundreds of the two thousand-plus Essence of Reason. It won't be long before you won't even be able to parry."

"Surrender, and I can promise you that if you surrender, there will be a place for you among the Immortal Kings. The six Immortal Kings will become seven…"

"Tai Yi, I will not forget how you were scared like a dead dog by His Majesty's methods back then."

General Xianhe interrupted Tai Yi's attempt to persuade him to surrender. He flourished the long halberd in his hand, pointing directly at Tai Yi, who looked like a kind old man.

Behind Him, Si Ming held a jade implement with a calm expression. Around Si Zhong, divine light was brilliant, like a sun shining through the ages. On the Immortal Realm earth beneath their feet, the sounds of battle were earth-shaking. The Mingguang Army formed a battle formation, transmitting their power to General Xianhe to add buffs to him.

Si Zhong and Si Ming's injuries had not yet fully healed, so they held back somewhat. Tai Yi wanted to persuade him to surrender, so he also held back. Furthermore, they were guarding against General Xianhe's counterattack before death, unwilling to suffer serious damage themselves, lest they be backstabbed by other Immortal Kings beside them in the future—after all, they were not a monolithic block.

On General Xianhe's side, there were also Mingguang Army soldiers forming a battle formation as a backup. Thus, the situation appeared slightly deadlocked. However, this deadlock was very fragile; it would only take Tai Yi and the others getting a little impatient for it to be broken.

However… "Jie——!!" A clear and high-pitched cry came from a corner of the Immortal Realm. As the saying goes, "The Phoenix cries, serene and harmonious." Vaguely, there was a feeling of ten thousand birds crying.

A brilliant divine light rose from the horizon, illuminating one side. In the light, a Phoenix flew towards them like a meteor. As its wings flapped and divine light was scattered, countless Mingguang Army soldiers on the battlefield were buffed; after all, the Phoenix was a beast of good omen.

General Xianhe was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then overjoyed. Originally, he thought this Immortal King would not pay attention to him, but he did not expect that She would actually decide to help.

"Chang Yi?" Tai Yi frowned slightly, watching the Phoenix land beside General Xianhe and turn into human form, revealing a woman with a beautiful appearance but a noble temperament that made people feel she was inviolable.

"Chang Yi, you are one of the six Immortal Kings. Are you not afraid…" Si Ming did not say the rest, but Chang Yi already understood. What He wanted to say was "That Great One."

Chang Yi's expression was cold. "Since you have done what you did, and are not afraid of me turning against you, then why should I be afraid? At most, it is just death. Furthermore, do you not understand why they dare to fight back?"

"Are you not afraid of Immortal Emperor Qiming?" Chang Yi spat out those four words, causing the expressions of Tai Yi and the others to shift slightly. Although their expressions immediately recovered, the atmosphere was already different.

"Hmph, ten thousand years ago, she had already died. How could she possibly return ten thousand years later?! This is… cough cough, even if she returns, we might not be unable to send her to Reincarnation again!" Si Zhong's tone was cold, but it inexplicably made people feel a bit guilty.

"This was determined by That Great One, right?" Chang Yi said the words that Si Zhong had not said. "Do you not know that the Immortal Emperor is the person most closely related to the Time Holy Court? She knew this, yet she still dared to act. Do you think she is stupid, or does she have a way to deal with it?"

"Chang Yi, you are also one of the six Immortal Kings. Even if you surrender at this time, your fate will not be much better." Si Ming said calmly.

"At most, it is just the destruction of body and Soul. According to her temperament, it is most likely that she will have me permanently guard the Taiyin. What do I have to fear? I am not like you; I have not done those things that are abandoned by gods and hated by people!" Chang Yi sneered.

Chapter 459: Journey of Chasing Fire, The Former Sword Emperor. "Besides, this is revenge. With me being wrapped up in hatred, do you still think I would care about so much?! It was like this back then, and it is like this now!"

Chang Yi turned into a streak of light and attacked Tai Yi. General Xianhe did not expect Chang Yi to rush up suddenly. Fearing that She would be besieged, he also hurriedly followed.

Although they were enemies before, they had now become allies, and he still gave some trust, not deliberately guarding against Chang Yi. After all, he did not have the spare capacity now; fighting three Immortal Kings alone was already quite difficult. To also guard against Chang Yi, wouldn't that be having a problem with his brain?

Furthermore… "Fairy Xiao Xiyue is with the Emperor, she is fine for now. On the contrary, she has obtained a great Opportunity and has already successfully achieved Fusion. Fellow Daoist Chang Yi need not worry." General Xianhe transmitted his voice, not using any aggressive titles, but rather the neutral "Fellow Daoist."

Although just after entering the Immortal Realm, he had already sent people to Taiyin to find this Immortal King who had conflicted with other Immortal Kings, hoping that She would come to help because of Fairy Xiyue, who had suffered.
