Chapter 1832: Wanfeng’s Ambition

Chapter 1832: Wanfeng’s Ambition

The refined and elegant demeanor that the young man carried himself with vanished upon his shout.

“But if you lose, you have to forfeit one hundred enigma stones! How about it?” Yu Jiang drifted to the ground and cackled at the cultivators around him.

“Pfft, you just want to scam us out of enigma stones. And one hundred of them! Go rob someone, it’s faster!” they jeered back at him.

“So you’re just pussies!” Yu Jiang scoffed. “I cultivate immortal dao and have set foot into immortal dao sequence. I am an immortal now. None of you were my match before and none of you can fight me now!”

Although Huangpang was a major world, plenty of its denizens were cultivators down on their luck—Yu Jiang was one of them. Cultivators fallen on hard times most ardently desired strength and enigma stones.

Not only did the outside realm’s geniuses head to the Land of Reincarnation after word got out that it was open, but so did faction-less cultivators drifting through life—like Yu Jiang—seek to strike it rich.

In the latter’s eyes, although it was the Disintegrated Land, the Discarded Land, there must be numerous opportunities within if so many people of note were headed for it.

When Yu Jiang finally made it into the land, he arrived just in time to experience the war between New Nihil Homeland and Nihil Homeland. He was only eighteen levels sequence—a level that allowed him to throw his weight around the natives, but barely made him different from an ant in the chief worlds.

A large number of supremes kept themselves out of the war when it raged. They weren’t interested in the land’s treasures either—it was formula dao that attracted them. But to practice formula dao, one had to cultivate immortal dao. These supremes had long exceeded sequence and basked in their own dao for countless eons. It was almost impossible for them to relinquish their great dao in favor of immortal dao.

Thus, they offered high bounties for chief world cultivators to switch to immortal dao and probe the secrets of formula dao. Anyone who did so and progressed to the point of moderate proficiency in formula dao would receive hefty compensation.

Cultivators from large factions naturally refused to walk a different path, but the temptation proved irresistible to run-down cultivators such as Yu Jiang. They gave up their own dao to walk the way of immortal dao.

There were many who chose to make the change of direction, which eventually meant that there was a fair number of immortals in the chief worlds too.

Yu Jiang’s talent in immortal dao was inordinately strong; he metamorphosed his previous sequence into immortal dao sequence after a short period of time. While his strength increased rapidly, the supremes discarded him when he proved to have no talent in formula dao. Thus, he returned home to Huangpang with his newfound riches, establishing a small sect of immortal dao with the enigma stones he’d earned in the meantime.

There were only a few members of his nameless sect and greatness was the most unattainable thing in their future. These days, Yu Jiang busied himself with flying around on his sword to demonstrate the might of immortal dao, swindling some enigma stones from the unsuspecting, and attempting to recruit new disciples. He wanted immortal dao to take root and flourish in Huangpang.

Daos and their subcategories abounded in the chief worlds—one wasn’t persecuted for the kind of great dao they practiced. However, the chief worlds at large looked down on immortal dao since it originated from the much-storied Disintegrated Land, Discarded Land.

……

“Oh no, we would never dare! Everyone knows that you’re good at fighting! Sparring with Yu Jiang is just making trouble for ourselves!” the crowd roared with laughter. There were no takers for his challenge.

“How about this. Nineteenth or twentieth level sequence cultivators can fight me too!” Yu Jiang upped the ante with slight reluctance. “If you beat me, I’ll give you a thousand stones. If you lose, you must join my Immortal Sect!”

Since his sect was yet to gain an official name, he called it the Immortal Sect for now.

“A thousand stones? Truly?”A nineteenth level sequence cultivator had trouble sitting still given the increased reward.

Huangpang wasn’t a strong world and most of its residents were unimportant figures outside of mainstream society. One thousand enigma stones was an enormous sum. Thus, some people bounced on the balls of their feet after Yu Jiang’s latest words.

“Do we also have to switch to immortal dao if we lose to you?” the speaker hesitated.

“You’re nineteenth level sequence. If you lose to me at eighteen levels, that means your great dao is less than my immortal dao. Therefore, it’s no loss to you if you switch to immortal dao,” Yu Jiang chuckled. “I attended the Dao Academy and Formula Academy of the Land of Reincarnation. These two academies treat everyone the same. They knew I was an outsider, but they still accepted me and taught me immortal dao and formula dao. If I beat you, I can use the strength of the Dao Academy to initiate you into immortal dao.”

A sudden hunch struck Lu Yun. Yu Jiang’s actions were probably at the Dao Academy’s behest. They wanted him to propagate dao in the chief worlds!

Wanfeng ran the Dao Academy on his behalf these days. She was an impish and decisive character, so this must be her idea. Otherwise, it was an incredibly difficult thing to have someone give up their great dao and cultivate another. It certainly wasn’t a process that someone at eighteen levels of sequence would be willing to undergo.

The outside realm wasn’t the Land of Reincarnation, there was no immortal dao traversing the land here. If one wanted to cultivate immortal dao, they needed the great dao guided into their body.

Giving up one’s previous dao wasn’t a necessity to cultivate immortal dao either. Cultivators could just incorporate their own great dao into immortal dao.

Wanfeng plainly intended to have immortal dao slowly permeate the chief worlds. Instead, it was Lu Yun whose hands were clammy with sweat at his former maid’s audaciousness. Immortal dao encompassed everything and already contained three thousand daos. If immortal dao also developed in the chief worlds… it would slowly swallow all of the other daos present and become the main dao of the outside realm.

Lu Yun shuddered despite himself—his ambitions weren’t that large.

“Alright!” The nineteenth level sequence cultivator was a young man on the thin side. He rolled up his sleeves and charged Yu Jiang with an upraised sword.

Yu Jiang’s immortal sword was one of magnificent quality. He twirled it when the young man moved and deployed Vast Dragon Seaturner. Sword intent surged through the air like the seas and struck the young man before he could come close to his opponent.

The young man quickly backed up, his sword in pieces from Yu Jiang’s move.

“I know that technique!” someone called out in the crowd. “Vast Dragon Seaturner! Lu Qing, son of Lu Yun in the Land of Reincarnation, used it to defeat many geniuses!”

“I’ve read about it in the spirit paper!”

“Yeah, that’s Vast Dragon Seaturner!”

Yu Jiang grinned proudly. Although he’d only sent the young man reeling backward and shattered his sword, it was still a heroic feat for someone at eighteen levels of sequence. He’d defeated someone stronger than him! That was enough to make him a genius.

“The Dao Academy of the Land of Reincarnation teaches all comers! They taught me Vast Dragon Seaturner because they saw the potential in me. When I learned my craft, it was I who decided if I would stay or go!” An immortal air emanated from Yu Jiang—his ethereal presence of being an immortal appeared once more.

“So it’s all true… I thought the spirit paper was lying.”

Thanks to the Myriad Spirit and Firstspirit Supremes, the spirit paper had gradually become commonplace in the chief worlds. It was copied and distributed into the weaker major worlds, such as Huangpang.
