Chapter 1807.2: Martial Aunt and Uncle
The Dao Academy on Mount Xuanhuang.
“It’s thanks to you two that the spirit paper is such a resounding success.” Lu Yun smiled warmly at the man and woman in front of him.
While the paper’s general acceptance and distribution in the fourth realm might not have much to do with them, the content surely did. Backgrounds and little known anecdotes of various chief world factions, detailed origin stories of geniuses and their trademark combat arts, many more pieces of chief world intel and assorted minutiae all came from these two.
The Myriad Spirit Supreme and Firstspirit Supreme.
Apart from Meng Wang being pivotal in the initial welcome of the spirit papers and Xuanhuang calendar, it was also these comprehensive introductions and records of the chief worlds that caught the public’s eye.
Only when Lu Yun commanded the people’s attention could the rest of his plans take place.
Myriad Spirit and Firstspirit’s projections were now part of immortal dao. They’d directed their wills to assimilate into immortal dao!
“You’re too gracious, fellow daoist. Master Leize enlightened the two of us back in the day. We stand here today only because he took us in and passed on his knowledge. This is nothing,” Firstspirit chuckled. “When it comes down to it, it’s due to our oversight at Mount Astronomia that the Greatred Supreme discovered the time boundary.”
As the Land of Reincarnation, the flow of time in the fourth realm was vastly different from that of the chief worlds’. Theoretically speaking, Lu Yun’s time boundary had been flawless and imperceptible. However, it lasted only two years before it was discovered. For that, Myriad Spirit and Firstspirit heavily found fault with themselves.
“Ah yes,” Myriad Spirit spoke again before Lu Yun could. “My sister and I have a request to make. It’s why we’ve come to this land.”
“Please, go ahead,” Lu Yun nodded. He’d suspected the two at first, but there was no need to put themselves in danger even if they wanted something from the Land of Reincarnation. They’d gone above and beyond when they surreptitiously helped Lu Qing stall for time.
The supremes of the chief worlds were no fools. Immense danger would descend upon the brother and sister duo if their actions were revealed.
All the same, it wasn’t until Leize on Earth transmitted a message to Lu Yun, explaining his relationship with the two, that the young man relaxed with relief. Leize was a master of sorts to them and they’d gotten involved with the Land of Reincarnation when Leize’s family tombs disappeared.
“There are six dao palaces in this land that were coalesced by six supremes of the highest order in the past.” Myriad Spirit thought for a moment before continuing, “Inception, Ethos, Burgeon, Creation, Opposition, and Nirvana… We would like those six.”
“Sure.” Lu Yun handed over the remaining core essence of the six palaces without skipping a beat.
“That’s it? Just like that?” Firstspirit couldn’t believe her eyes. Everyone knew the legends of the six dao palaces of the highest order in the Land of Reincarnation. Many were here for them as well.
She and her brother never imagined that Lu Yun would so easily hand them over. Even with Leize being the common denominator, the young man shouldn’t have been so quick to do so. The two supremes would’ve never done so, if the roles were reversed. These were treasures that could help them ascend beyond supreme!
“What else?” Lu Yun shook his head. “I’ve held onto these things for more than twenty thousand years, but all they’ve done is slowly fade away. I’ve tried a variety of methods to preserve them, but to no avail. The process doesn’t seem reversible, so they’re just a complete waste in my hands. It’s much better to gift them to my martial aunt and uncle as a greeting gift.”
Since Lu Yun viewed Fuxi as his master and these two were Leize’s disciples, they were on the same hierarchical level as Fuxi. It was very reasonable that he called them martial aunt and uncle.
“In that case, we happily accept.” The two were delighted at hearing Lu Yun’s honorific for them. To officially become one of Leize’s disciples was their lifelong wish. Although Leize had enlightened and taught them, guiding them in cultivation, he’d never given them an official position.
Brother and sister were wise to the times and didn’t follow up with questions about their master. There was a certain existence keeping watch over everything. If Leize was exposed, he would be placed in great danger.
It was a similar situation to why Lu Yun never reached out to Lu Qingtian after the latter’s resurrection.
“Here are four hundred and eighty million enigma stone veins. It seems to me that the Land of Reincarnation lacks this resource, so I prepared a token of our respect.” The Myriad Spirit Supreme handed a minor world to Lu Yun before leaving with his sister.
Lu Yun regarded the minor world with glee. He’d calculated that, apart from melding the seed of nothing with the worlds to make them whole again, enigma stones were needed to fill in the gaps. In other words, enigma stones contained the source power of the worlds.
The vein gifted to Lu Yun from Chu Xingran had fully taken root and developed into the fourth realm’s ancestral vein. He didn’t need to plant these new ones in the world of immortal dao sequence.
Four hundred and eighty million was a staggering sum to even supremes. If it wasn’t for Myriad Spirit and Firstspirit possessing solid foundations, along with gradually making their preparations through the years—they wouldn’t have been able to collect so many either. On the other hand, these enigma stone veins didn’t amount to much compared to what they’d just received.
The scene shifted around Lu Yun as he moved to the Hongmeng—Redbud Region.
Up on Redbud Mountain, Dragon Butterly and Long Batian were perennial children who seemed like they would never grow up. In actuality, they’d both accessed immortal dao sequence and were one of the strongest existences in the Hongmeng.
Long Batian was the manifestation of the great dragon of Myriad Dragon Valley and it was very difficult for the two dragons to find any more of their kind in the third realm. Thus, the two moved Myriad Dragon Valley to Redbud Region after some discussion. Everything was accomplished with help from the little fox.
“Huh? Lu Yun? How does a busy guy like you have time for us?” Dragon Butterfly grumbled when she saw the young man.
“I come bearing gifts!” He took out the minor world with the enigma stone veins. “The two of you should cultivate in this minor world and let the enigma stones assimilate you! Purple crystals are meaningless to the current third realm. I want all of them to turn into enigma stones!”
Thanks to the little fox’s supervision, Dragon Butterfly and Long Batian now dominated the azure dragon ancestral vein on Dragonhollow Mountain. Once the Redbud King and Long Batian’s primary bodies metamorphosed, they would affect all of the great dragons in the Hongmeng, chaos, and worlds.
“Alright!” Dragon Butterfly immediately agreed. “I’ve been wanting to turn my primary body into an enigma stone dragon, but the current amount of stones in the fourth realm isn’t enough for me to snack on!”
“Oh yeah,” Long Batian suddenly said, “Your Treasurehunter Rat’s been jumping up and down lately. There might be a treasure appearing in the Hongmeng soon, you should keep an eye out or it.”
Lu Yun raised an eyebrow. He’d found his future self because he followed the Treasurehunter Rat to Mount Cloudcover. The rat was stationed in the third realm after that, had it found something again? That was very likely since it’d refined a Treasurefall Coin—another one of Chu Xingran’s treasures.
Dragon Butterfly and Long Batian had no more words for Lu Yun; they’re already darted into the minor world. He sent it and its occupants to the Hongmeng Tower.
