Aspiring to the Immortal Path

Chapter 845: The Myriad Court's Reemergence

"'Emerging from the mountain'?" Tang Jie gave a noncommittal laugh. "Although I'm an ascetic cultivator, I'm not in total seclusion. Going out for a walk once in a while is no big deal. What's key is that it has to be worth the trip."

Kun Wu clapped his hands and laughed. "Brother Tang, I knew you would say that. What if I told you it was for a chance at a lucky encounter?"

"'A chance at a lucky encounter'?" Tang Jie narrowed his eyes.

Lucky encounters held a profound meaning for cultivators.

Such encounters were decided by the heavens and were not something that could be run into just because one wanted to. If such a chance was being brought up, it meant that some new opportunity was coming. If not some rare treasure emerging, it would be something else making its descent.

But all three present here were Violet Palace cultivators, and there were few lucky encounters that could draw their interest.

Tang Jie looked at Kun Wu, who mysteriously said, "The Court of Myriad Domains is about to open."

'The Court of Myriad Domains'?

This name made Tang Jie's heart leap.

Kun Wu had come to find him for the Court of Myriad Domains?

When the Martial Lord shattered the Court of Myriad Domains, its fragments had been scattered all across the Chiliocosm. As the Vast Wilderness Continent had been the closest, the main body had fallen here.

While nobody had known about the Rosecloud Domain's fragment, the Vast Wilderness Continent's fragment was known about by everybody.

It had not actually landed on the Vast Wilderness Continent, instead floating ten thousand meters above it, engulfed in the Astral Winds throughout the year.

Thanks to the Domain Astral Winds, the vast majority of cultivators of the Vast Wilderness Continent couldn't get there. Not only that, when the Myriad Court fell, it activated its defensive formation. This formation kept out the Astral Winds, but it also meant that those Immortal Platform cultivators who could break through the Astral Winds also couldn't get in.

This treasure that could not be entered had been the subject of much melancholy in the Vast Wilderness Continent for ten thousand years now.

Over the last ten thousand years, the Myriad Court's defensive formation had merged together with the Domain Astral Winds, becoming inseparable. Time had not only failed to wear away at its power, it had only made it stronger.

But the Court of Myriad Domains was not completely impossible to enter.

Cultivators discovered that the defensive formation would weaken for a time every one thousand years.

This period of weakness wasn't long, but it was enough for the stronger cultivators to head inside and see if they could get lucky.

This is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

After all, this was the Court of Myriad Domains, a gathering place of countless Immortals, the treasures contained within beyond number.

Just a small fragment of it had greatly enriched Tang Jie, and the one on the Vast Wilderness Continent was the main body of the court, which was on a completely different level.

According to Kun Wu, in another thirty years, the court's formation would weaken, and cultivators would have a chance to enter.

This had happened several times before, and every time, some cultivators would head in, some people getting rich and some people losing their lives.

This was how cultivation was: danger and fortune going hand in hand, a constant balancing act between life and death, gain and loss.

For many people, the opening of the Court of Myriad Domains was a rare opportunity. The big organizations wanted to go in, and the wandering cultivators also sought out companions to form groups.

Kun Wu and the Wind Moon Scholar had gone to find Tang Jie for exactly this reason. But besides the two of them, there were also several dozen other Violet Palace cultivators in their little alliance, seeking to gain something from this adventure.

Several dozen Violet Palace experts was an overwhelming force in the Rosecloud Domain, but in the Vast Wilderness Continent, it was just a minor alliance, which made Tang Jie sigh.

But Tang Jie was hesitant to accept the offer.

This was because the Star Radiant Gate's founding ceremony would be happening in thirty years, and he would be full of regret if he missed out on it.

Tang Jie explained to them, "I'm looking for Reverend Yellow Heaven for a very important matter. For this reason, I established a cave estate here to wait for 148 years. I can't afford to miss out on a meeting with Reverend Yellow Heaven over this matter."

To his surprise, Kun Wu and the Wind Moon Scholar laughed.

The Wind Moon Scholar said, "Brother Tang, do you know how the Star Radiant Gate was established?"

Startled, Tang Jie asked, "How did it happen?"

The Wind Moon Scholar said, "The Star Radiant ancestor obtained a supreme Dao armament in the Court of Myriad Domains, the Stardust Ring. Why is the founding ceremony of the Star Radiant Gate held at this time? Precisely for this reason. If that Reverend Yellow Heaven is coming back, he will definitely go to the Myriad Court. As for that founding ceremony, it's just an excuse to gather up people."

Tang Jie was stunned to learn why that Star Radiant Gate cultivator had believed that Reverend Yellow Heaven would return. As an ancestor, there was no need for him to return for a simple founding ceremony. This seemed more like the real goal.

Since the Star Radiant Gate had been established thanks to the court, it would naturally be extremely familiar with the interior of it. If Reverend Yellow Heaven hadn't succeeded in breaking through outside, he might turn his attention back to the court.

If this was the case, then there was a high chance of him running into Reverend Yellow Heaven in the Myriad Court.

Tang Jie excitedly said, "Great, then I'll go!"

Kun Wu slapped his leg. "I was waiting for Brother Tang to say this. Brother Tang's grasp of formations will be like giving wings to a tiger."

The Myriad Court's formations were formidable, and even after the shattering, numerous traps had remained intact. Tang Jie had experienced a few back in the fragment, and since this was the main body, he was sure that the arrangements would be even more formidable.

It was no wonder Kun Wu and Wind Moon had come together to invite him. Both his strength and his understanding of formations had played a role.

But Tang Jie also needed their understanding of the Court of Myriad Domains, so the two parties drew up an agreement to meet at the court in thirty years, at which point they would enter and withdraw together.

But it was hard to say how reliable such a temporary alliance would be.

It was better than going in alone, but at critical moments, it was better to place one's hope on oneself than on others.

After discussing their general plans, the pair departed.

Tang Jie sat alone in his cave for a while in thought. Suddenly, he flicked his fingers at the air.

A few moments later, Yiyi appeared.

Yiyi asked, "Big Brother, did you need something?"

Tang Jie replied, "I need to go back to the Rosecloud Domain for a few days."

"You're going back to Rosecloud?" Yiyi said in shock.

In the last hundred years, Tang Jie had not returned to Rosecloud once, choosing to cultivate alone. Why did he suddenly want to go back?

Tang Jie didn't explain, simply saying, "There are some things that I have to go back for. You stay here and keep an eye on Ice Phoenix. Don't become so focused on playing that you let her cause trouble."

"Mm!" Yiyi earnestly nodded.

After noting several other matters Yiyi needed to pay attention to, Tang Jie headed toward the nearby teleportation formation.

He was now familiar with the Vast Wilderness Continent and knew that each state had a teleportation formation that he could take rather than flying over.

After paying the fee, Tang Jie returned to the Gray Heron Divine State and flew toward the Five Origins Paradise.

As he was on the way, he suddenly decided to go and see how Yuan Chenfei was doing, so he flew over to the Herding Yang Sect.

But when he arrived, he found that there was nothing there, that Immortal sect having vanished into nothingness.

Flabbergasted, Tang Jie found a local to ask, upon which he learned that it had been destroyed a hundred years ago.

It was not too long after he had left.

To his shock, according to the local, the destroyer of the sect was a giant, one-horned black dragon. It carried a mountain on its back, and its voice was so loud that it could shake mountains. Apparently, with a single swipe of its claws, the entire sect had collapsed.

Tang Jie was stunned. This was clearly the Lithos Dragon.

Was the Lithos Dragon Yuan Chenfei?

But Lithos Dragon blood didn't make for a Lithos Dragon. What was going on here? And if it really was him, why had he destroyed the Herding Yang Sect?

For the latter, Tang Jie guessed that it had something to do with that Senior Brother Du, but it was still a mystery how Yuan Chenfei became the Lithos Dragon.

How could a dragon be in the body of a human?

Tang Jie shook his head.

But then he froze and muttered, "The Azure Dragon…"

He suddenly realized that the Azure Dragon's situation was extremely similar to the Lithos Dragon's.

Why were the survivors of the Court of Myriad Domains all living on in human bodies? And why were they all reviving at this time?

A very troubling question appeared in Tang Jie's mind.

The scene of the Martial Lord fighting against the armies of the court appeared in his mind, and even now, the sight of him shattering the court still made him shiver.

But now, Tang Jie felt a deep conspiracy going on in the background. It felt like a plot was brewing right now, but he didn't know what it was about.

Unable to solve this riddle, Tang Jie put it aside and headed to the Five Origins Paradise.

The hundred-year interval between openings posed no difficulty to Tang Jie.

He was a formation master and possessed great strength, and he had also messed around with things inside the paradise before leaving. Thus, after some work, he opened up the entrance and entered.

But he was careful this time to not alert the other sects.

Upon entering the paradise, Tang Jie paid a visit to the garden. He emptied the place of its remaining plants and then took the eighteen puppets with him. He had left in too much of a rush the first time, but now, he finally had the time to empty the place.

If he merged these eighteen puppets with the Mother Cloud combat puppet, he could make a Deification-level puppet, which would be of great use when he went to the Myriad Court.

However, this wasn't all that Tang Jie planned to do for this adventure…

Six days later, Tang Jie returned to the Rosecloud Domain and stood before Ling Xiao and the others.

After one hundred years, Tang Jie was still the same Tang Jie, but the Basking Moon Sect was not the same Basking Moon Sect.

The Basking Moon Sect was now like the sun at its zenith.

The Rosecloud Domain was no longer shared by six sects, nor was it ruled by four sects. Instead, the Basking Moon Sect dominated alone, the Seven Absolutions Sect, Horizon Ocean Pavilion, and the Thousand Passions Sect all acknowledging its supremacy.

This was all for one reason:

Yun Tianlan had become a True Immortal.
