No particular phenomena of note took place when Lu Yun set foot into sequence, but everyone beneath immortal dao sensed it and the manifestation of a world of immortal dao sequence.
Even some powerhouses who did not cultivate immortal dao discovered the change.
……
“Damn it, that bastard lied to us! Immortal dao!!” Numerous sequence experts in the fourth realm gnashed their teeth and looked around wildly. It wasn’t until now that they suddenly realized immortal dao had appeared in the fourth realm at some point in time. There was even a world of immortal dao sequence!
They burned with rage and hatred!
Although the primary worlds were relatively peaceful and didn’t see much fighting, that didn’t mean their sequence experts were a bunch of useless layabouts. On the contrary, their breadth of experience was in no way less than those of the secondary worlds.
It was in this moment that formula dao bared its fangs; it swiftly devoured and subjugated all of the supplemental paths. But even so, the various supplemental cultivators had no desire to resist the change. They’d long discovered that formula dao was the medium for supplemental dao. In fact, supplemental dao was made all the stronger and more sophisticated for its association.
……
On the border of the Western Cluster in the fourth realm, infinitely close to the unknown expanses.
A magnificent palace of splendor suddenly popped out of the darkness. It seemed to be a singular structure, but a sea of gold sparkled behind it. Plainly, it was a massive complex with the rest of the buildings hidden in the void for now.
A bedraggled young man ran out of the only structure that’d revealed itself.
“I did it! I entered the Land of Reincarnation with my own body!” he exulted.
Beings from the outside realm needed a proper identity if they wished to enter this land. Chu Xingran, for example, had borrowed the Curse King’s identity and stepped into his shoes to enter the territory. Ao Qin’s identity of the Azure Dragon King likewise existed, but he’d fulfilled that role starting only with this cycle.
The young man was obviously foreign to the land, but he’d entered it with his own identity and not one of the natives.
“So you’ve come, Xie Tianxun.” A figure of jade green manifested in front of the young man the moment he appeared.
The Poison King.
He was the Curse King’s senior brother, but not Chu Xingran’s senior brother. He also hailed from the outside realm, but he had no relationship with Chu Xingran. The two of them had simply been playing their parts in the Land of Reincarnation.
The young man called Xie Tianxun cocked his head at the Poison King and studied him for a moment.
“Oh, it’s you,” he smiled. “Go on in, this is the Esteemed Nebula’s Golden Dao Palace. You’ll be baptized by his great dao after you enter and return to your origins, thereby escaping the cycle of reincarnation in this land.”
“The Esteemed Nebula!” The Poison King jumped with shock. This was a renowned heavyweight in the outside realm! However, he frowned instead and didn’t immediately enter the palace. “Isn’t the noble Esteemed Nebula worried about offending the owner of this land by coming like this?”
“Hahahaha!” Xie Tianxun laughed. “The owner of this land is probably dead. Who would dare create a world of sequence from the core essence of this land otherwise?”
Although the world of sequence had been nurtured out of the four great tombs by four incredible personages, its original core essence was that of the Land of Reincarnation. This land had been a major realm to begin with, one no different from the outside realm. But one day, it’d disintegrated and someone had turned it into a land of reincarnation, thus beginning the endless loops of the same cycle.
The one who’d created everything was dead, which was why other parties dared brazenly nurture a world of sequence in his creation.
“The god of Mount Tai is dead, the owner of this land is dead…” The Poison King turned the thoughts over in his mind and nodded. “Then that means this is the best timing for us to break free of reincarnation and conquer this land!
“The immortals have claimed the world of sequence and created a world of immortal dao sequence. It’s extraordinarily weak at the moment and can’t support the land. That means there’s a chance for us yet.”
He smiled easily and golden light bathed his body, slowly washing away the jade green of poison dao. Just as Xie Tianxun relaxed his vigilance, the transforming Poison King suddenly reached out and blasted a ray of intersecting black and green onto the young man’s body.
Yelping with agony, Xie Tianxun was pierced through and sagged to the ground.
“You’re not Hun You of the Hun Clan, who are you?!” Completely caught off guard, the two colors of light combined as one in his body and became a terrifying poison that ate away at his life force.
“Hun You? I killed him when he first entered this world and turned him into my replica.” The Poison King’s face changed into Chu Xingran’s.
“Chu Xingran!” Fear rose on Xie Tianxun’s face when he saw his attacker. He’d received word that Chu Xingran had left the Land of Reincarnation and returned to Darklake. What was he doing here instead??
Was his intelligence incorrect?
“You can’t blame me for that because that Poison King’s fate is indeed to be refined into a replica by his junior brother Curse King. I just followed the paths of their destiny,” Chu Xingran chuckled happily.
He’d been in the process of dismissing his Poison King replica when he saw Lu Yun open the door to immortal dao sequence. His karmic debt to the Land of Reincarnation had been paid in full and it was time to sever this last bit of connection. But just as the last traces of his spirit lingered in the void, Xie Tianxun arrived.
Thus, Chu Xingran immediately recollected his spirit and reformed the Poison King’s body. It’d be interesting to meet Xie Tianxun, this highly famous being in the outside realm. The latter was at nineteenth level sequence, but he could only access nine levels in here.
“The Esteemed Nebula sees everything that you’re doing. You and your nation can just wait for his vengeance!” Xie Tianxun forced out through grit teeth.
“Is that so?” Chu Xingran paused, then waved at the golden palace. “This humble one greets the esteemed personage. If Your Eminence would like to take revenge, go for it!”
“Hmph!” came a cold snort. “Darklake has latched onto the thigh of the azure dragons and the Azure Dragon King has taken you for his foster son. You don’t fear my vengeance in the slightest.”
Chu Xingran grinned. He’d played a part in Ao Qin’s resurrection and the dragon genius remained the pride and joy of the dragon race. Once the Azure Dragon King learned of what’d happened, he took Chu Xingran as his foster son in thanks.
Although this matter wasn’t common knowledge, those at the Esteemed Nebula’s level naturally knew of it.
“Since you’ve left a replica here, Chu Xingran, why don’t you become my representative instead?” said the Esteemed Nebula. “You’ve reincarnated in this land endless times and have built a solid foundation for yourself. It shouldn’t be too hard for you to seize the world of sequence. I will reward you handsomely if you succeed!”
“Sure!” Chu Xingran nodded without hesitation.

Taking bets on whether he’s sincere or not lol. I feel like some of Lu Yun’s bad habits rubs off on anyone he spends time with.
