Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 1645: Junior Brother

“If fellow daoist wishes to have formula dao, you may have it,” rang out Lu Yun’s voice as soon as Dongfang Mo finished talking.

“Aren’t you heavily injured and unable to leave the altar?!” Dongfang Ao gasped when he saw Lu Yun shimmer into existence.

“This isn’t his primary body, just an extraordinarily sophisticated replica that appears real.” Dongfang Mo saw through Lu Yun’s bean soldier with a quick glance.

Lu Yun’s primary body couldn’t leave the altar of immortal dao because he currently relied on it for survival. But since he’d recovered a bit more from his injuries, he could operate a few death arts—such as bean soldiers.

After he deployed the bean soldiers, he began exploring this marvelous world of sequence and naturally came across Ruina Immortal Nation. He’d overheard Dongfang Mo’s conversation with his disciple, and so had Dongfang Mo discovered his presence. That was why he’d purposefully mentioned their goals aligned.

“Fellow daoist has good eyesight,” chuckled the golden warrior that was Lu Yun. “If fellow daoist wishes to have formula dao, I can teach it to you right now.”

“And do you want spirit dao in return?” Dongfang Mo stared intently at Lu Yun.

“What do I want that for?” Lu Yun laughed. “Since fellow daoist wishes to assimilate it with the immortal dao, that makes the immortal dao spirit dao, and vice versa. What difference is there between the two?”

“Wait!” Dongfang Mo paused. “I’ve noticed that while your immortal dao also stems from the Immortal Myriadtree, it bears minute differences compared to mine.”

His brow slightly furrowed in recollection, Dongfang Mo didn’t immediately accept the gift of formula dao. He wanted to satisfy his curiosity first.

“That’s because I’ve changed the foundations of immortal dao.” Lu Yun understood what the other was getting at.

"Changed the foundations of immortal dao?” Dongfang Mo raised his eyebrow. “This way, fellow daoist!”

He waved a bridge of milky light into existence and bade it extend to Lu Yun’s feet.

“A humble farewell to royal father.” Dongfang Ao bowed in his master’s direction.

Lu Yun and Dongfang Mo left Ruina Immortal Nation after they set foot onto the bridge.

……

“This is the world of immortals of Ruina Immortal Nation?” Lu Yun looked at his surroundings with amazement.

He was in a world made entirely of light. There was one continent floating in the center, like it was a fruit pit. Mountains, rivers, trees, and grass filled it, and the sun and moon alternately bathed the land with radiance, making it the same as a real world of immortals.

However, this one was much too small. It was only the size of one of the provinces of Nephrite Major in the world of immortals.

New immortals from the lower world constantly arrived through the ascent protocol and they were short on space.

“This is the Unsullied Immortal Island’s world. It’s bursting at the seams, so they need to craft a second world,” Dongfang Mo explained. “My thought process for creating a world of immortal dao sequence was to continuously create worlds of immortals and then connect them together, eventually creating a world of sequence.

“Mmhmm,” Lu Yun nodded. “These worlds are transformed from seeds of the Immortal Myriadtree. As its master, you can indeed smelt all of these worlds of immortals into one. Then… why can’t we have immortal dao traverse Myriasea World so that it becomes the world of immortal dao sequence itself?”

Dongfang Mo shook his head with some frustration at Lu Yun’s question. “Have a seat.”

Immortal light condensed around them to become two chairs and a table.

“Cultivators are too weak,” Dongfang Mo sighed. “The immortals are too weak as well. If it wasn’t for my arrival and using the tree to occupy the heart of this world, immortal dao likely wouldn’t have been able to develop here.

“In my day, thousands of daos vied for supremacy in the Hongmeng. Immortal dao was the strongest great dao and even the emperor cultivated it, becoming an unparalleled immortal.

“During that period of time, the world of immortals was the core of the first realm in the Hongmeng. Countless beings longed to be a part of it! But even in that era, immortal dao’s core weakness was that cultivators were too weak.

“They continued to be too weak after reaching immortality. It wasn’t that the immortal dao wasn’t enough, but that the immortals’ bodies were too fragile. Bear in mind, this great dao is sufficient to support the worlds, chaos, and Hongmeng, and the fourth realm!

“It was never able to traverse the fourth realm because its foundations are too weak. You… say that you’ve changed its foundations?” Dongfang Mo looked intently at Lu Yun.

Meanwhile, Lu Yun had come to an understanding of the situation. In the thirty-three loops, Dongfang Mo had probably created spirit dao to replace immortal dao because the latter’s roots were too weak. He’d used spirit dao to suppress the fourth realm’s orders, but spirit dao was less than immortal dao on an inherent basis, so it collapsed before long.

And now, Lu Yun had taken care of the crux of the issue. The foundations of dao were its cultivation methods!

Humans paved dao through their footsteps, and their footsteps were cultivation methods!

Since Lu Yun was present in front of him, Dongfang Mo asked him about the foundations of immortal dao instead of formula dao. His character was also evident from his questions because after all these years, he still firmly followed his emperor’s orders.

Thus, Lu Yun immediately illustrated his body tempering method and nascent spirit observation method. He’d used formula dao to derive them and they were now basic methods in the world of immortals.

Modern day immortals had given up on refining qi through meditation. Instead, they used body tempering methods to hone their bodies so they could coalesce qi, then used the nascent spirit observation method to refine their nascent spirit. Some particularly talented immortals could train their body and qi at the same time, reaching a perfect equilibrium.

Immortals who used body tempering methods and the nascent spirit observation method were far stronger than those who refined qi through meditation, whether in terms of physical prowess or nascent spirit.

“This… is…” Dongfang Mo stared at the cultivation methods that Lu Yun showed him, needing a few moments before he could collect himself. “Cultivators who use these methods can completely dominate other cultivators who are stronger than them!”

“No,” Lu Yun shook his head. “Cultivators who use these methods can dominate traditional true immortals. I derived both of these with formula dao. Would you like to learn this dao?” He smiled at the man.

“Do I need to take you for my master in return?” Dongfang Mo asked dumbly.

“Er, ahem! I received Fuxi’s heritage and he is the one who initiated me into immortal dao. Though I am not officially his disciple, he is my master in my heart. Since you are fellow daoists with Fuxi, you are my martial uncle. How would I dare call you my disciple?” Lu Yun chuckled wryly.

Dongfang Mo nodded. “Fuxi is the teacher of the Hongmeng emperor. Since he is your master, then you are my junior brother.”

Lu Yun: ……

“Lu Yun greets the senior brother,” he sighed and inclined his head. For someone at Dongfang Mo’s level, any sort of karmic relationship must be clearly delineated. If this step wasn’t handled properly, it would give rise to internal demons and undefined tribulations.

The favor of learning dao was both a debt of gratitude and a karmic relationship. Lu Yun needed to first take a disciple and have his disciple teach others so that he wouldn’t create further karmic repercussions for himself in Myriadsea World.

“Junior brother, you can now teach me the cultivation methods of the new immortal dao and formula dao.” Dongfang Mo performed the bow of a student.

Lu Yun didn’t hold back; he immediately transmitted the general calculation methods, formulas, and elemental theories to Dongfang Mo. The fundamental immortal dao methods were derived from formula dao and he’d just illustrated them to Dongfang Mo. With the man’s intelligence, he could easily derive the same.

At his heights, the basic methods that he inferred would be even better than Lu Yun’s.

In return, Dongfang Mo taught his spirit dao to Lu Yun. It came from immortal dao, but was currently just a concept and not a great dao. It would be more accurately termed the spirit method.
