Chapter 307: Meeting the True Immortal Mother Again, the Secret of Becoming a True Immortal!
Although he was only in the Mortal Realm, Yun Ye’s accumulation was incredibly strong. After burning ten years of his lifespan, he defeated the Chen Family Elder and turned him into a puppet.
"The consumption has increased, but it’s still manageable."
The flaw of Qushuang’s Spiritual Law couldn’t really be called a flaw; every Spiritual Law needed spirit energy to maintain it.
Controlling the law realms with his Mortal Realm power demanded an extravagant amount of spirit energy, almost continuously draining his lifespan.
However, this depended on whom he was comparing himself to.
Yun Ye could burn through his lifespan in just a few seconds, but the boost in combat power was still not as high as that of the law realm corpse.
The efficiency of Qushuang’s Spiritual Law in consuming lifespan was clearly much higher than burning Spiritual Roots; in comparison, Yun Ye accepted it without hesitation.
"It seems he has a Dao Artifact. Can Qushuang’s Spiritual Law control a Dao Artifact?"
Yun Ye attempted it.
In battle, the Chen Family Elder also aimed to eliminate Yun Ye outright.
However, unfortunately for him, even in history, as long as Yun Ye had the will of Tomorrow, he could immediately summon Tomorrow. Therefore, as Dao Artifact clashed with Dao Artifact, he could do nothing to Yun Ye.
After trying for a brief moment, Yun Ye discovered that the Chen Family Elder could not use his Dao Artifact at all. It seemed that the distinction regarding Dao Artifacts was quite clear, leaving no room for loopholes.
At the same time, Yun Ye could not absorb the Chen Family Elder’s Dao Artifact through Tomorrow, since it was merely a false history and could not resonate with reality.
A moment after Yun Ye turned the Chen Family Elder into a puppet, several auras emerged from the Chen Family, overwhelming and covering the entire Yunwen Town.
This also startled other great cultivators from the law realm families.
"A Dao Artifact wielder? How dare he invade our family’s territory to slay great cultivators!!!"
The Chen Family had multiple great cultivators, and the one Yun Ye defeated was just one of them.
With this roar, several law realm apparitions rose from Yunwen Town, their cold gazes piercing through the air toward Yun Ye. However, he casually waved his hand, dispersing them.
He did not rush to attack; instead, he controlled numerous spirit pills to fly out, liquefying them with Water Elemental Spiritual Law, and swallowed them in one gulp, causing the spirit energy to become rich and steaming.
The new puppet, as a law realm entity, naturally possessed vast resources. Yun Ye was effectively using a "fight to nourish a fight" strategy, causing his cultivation level to surge.
In such a brief moment, he had already cultivated his Physical Law to Major Achievement and was quickly approaching perfection.
With every second of hesitation from those in the law realms, Yun Ye’s strength grew even more.
"This young man can kill Ting Xu; his power is frightening. It’s not as simple as it appears. To capture him, we must activate the Wen Yun formation!"
"Activate the formation! It’s just a matter of resources; each family can share the burden!"
The several law realm members quickly completed their communication.
They used Spirit Sense to converse, truly unlike mortals; even if they hesitated, their efficiency did not drop, especially since they hadn’t even hesitated yet.
Soon, a large number of cloud-like patterns lit up from the city walls, and a terrifying aura began to Revive, far exceeding that of any single law realm.
In Yunwen Town, where the spirit energy density was vastly higher than that of Baishi Town, even if the formation’s mastery was somewhat weaker, its power would not be inferior to that of Baishi Town. It was a formidable weapon; even those in the Mystic Realm had to be cautious, lest they become trapped and fall.
"Elevation of Spiritual Roots!"
"Burning Spiritual Roots!"
Yun Ye instantly entered his strongest state, and the eight puppets in his hands set up a formation using eight Dao artifacts and treasures. They also entered a state of Burning Spiritual Roots and charged toward one of the law realms within Yunwen Town.
This was considered taking the initiative, as the Wen Yun formation had not yet fully activated and could not exert its power.
The law realm being attacked by Yun Ye was stunned, then he sneered, thinking Yun Ye was an easy target? He underestimated him far too much! This was simply courting death!
Then, he was punched through by the puppet law realm. Before he died, he was astonished, wondering why a dead person moved with more strength than when he was alive?
Wrapped in threads, he emotionlessly walked out and charged at the other law realms.
"Surround and kill!"
The head of the Chen Family roared, and the Dao Artifact hovered in the air, restraining all law realms present, forcing them to launch all-out attacks against Yun Ye.
Boom!
One puppet after another in Yun Ye’s hands exploded, turning to ash.
There were still six law realms attacking Yun Ye.
The power was overwhelming, and at Yun Ye’s Mortal Realm level, he needed to double the puppets to defend against it. Thus, the lifespan of the consumables significantly decreased, shattering one in just a few seconds.
Then, at the cost of everything, another law realm fell, transforming into a shooting light and was turned into a puppet during that time.
This change caused the faces of many law realms to change drastically; they unleashed their strongest power, forcibly suppressing and annihilating the puppets, preventing them from functioning.
But time was still bought.
On the brink of the Wen Yun formation’s activation, Yun Ye murmured incantations, and Talismans fell in every direction, establishing a barrier to counter the Wen Yun formation.
In reality, it was impossible to truly resist it. The Wen Yun formation was rooted in the spirit vein, naturally the master of the spirit energy in this area. Yun Ye could not hope to take it away, but he could disrupt the law realms’ control over the Wen Yun formation.
"The control has weakened by ninety percent. Although it’s recovering, it will take time!"
One law realm immediately assessed the situation.
At most, they could delay for a few dozen seconds, which was meaningless; Yun Ye would still be suppressed.
But Yun Ye did not believe his efforts were in vain. He took a deep breath and pulled all the power from the puppets back into his body. In that moment, he directly obtained the power of a law realm.
However, this surging power required some time for him to adapt before he could use it effectively.
"This is…it seems he’s given up resisting?!"
"Hand over the secret techniques, and we will grant you a quicker death!"
The five law realms spoke up.
They simply couldn’t abandon such a terrifying secret technique. For a moment, they even behaved strangely, wary of one another, not wanting any other families to gain it.
This was a secret technique that allowed a Mortal Realm individual to slay law realms as if they were chopping down dogs. Even while burning their lifespan, it was a miracle beyond imagination—so extraordinary that they would believe it was from the Dao Classics!
Thus, they allowed Yun Ye to complete his recovery.
Perhaps in their eyes, Yun Ye was just gathering strength, ultimately still not exceeding the law realm and therefore not a threat.
But in reality…
"It’s like flirting with a blind person."
"You all are about to meet your end."
Yun Ye shook his head, feeling at a loss for words. He had thought he would have to engage in a fierce chase to fully master his power and turn the tide in adversity, but reality often proved to be unexpected.
“Impertinent mortal!”
“It is truly displeasing. This person’s soul should suffer a hundred years of punishment!”
Several law realms shook their heads as they decided Yun Ye’s fate.
Killing him on the spot wouldn’t suffice to vent their anger; they wanted to torment his soul for a hundred years until it completely shattered!
“Qi! Heaven grants my position!”
“Unique Spiritual Law!”
“Eternal Silence!”
Yun Ye ignored them. Under the massive accumulation of white spirit energy, he lifted the pitch-black energy, which was as deep as hell, swallowing light and boundaries, black to the utmost.
The law realms were extraordinary, making it much simpler for Yun Ye to unleash Eternal Silence.
“——”
The blackness suddenly swept across the sky. After a brief moment of silence in the world, two law realms were swallowed, and the Wen Yun formation was directly shattered, creating a huge crack.
“What are you?!”
The remaining three law realms were horrified; this kind of power completely exceeded their understanding.
Was this mortal before them truly human?
“At this moment, it should be said—this child possesses the stature of an Emperor!”
Yun Ye sighed as his hair rapidly turned white. He sacrificed thirty years of his lifespan to activate Eternal Silence.
The space trembled violently.
A deadly killing intent locked onto the three of them.
“This feels wrong. What kind of monster is this?! Completely unreasonable!”
The three law realms reached the peak of their feeling of fear, already seeing their impending doom, as if bone claws were dragging them into hell.
“Resist with all your might, or we will all die!!!”
The three law realms shouted loudly, burning everything to fight back.
But how terrifying was Eternal Silence?
The black light swept through.
They were quickly and decisively swallowed, and the explosive power erupted into a massive mushroom cloud above Wenyun Town.
A powerful storm spread throughout Wenyun Town, but the Wen Yun formation was activated, smoothing over the destruction, preventing Wenyun Town from being destroyed in an instant.
Yun Ye nodded silently and turned to look into the distance: “There should still be a few law realms around. Where are they?”
Naturally, they had fled.
Even if some law realms had not shown themselves, they would now run away without looking back, acutely aware of the difference in strength and not willing to stay behind and await death.
Just as Yun Ye was about to do something else, the White Mist spread, transporting him back to the Heavenly Path…
He passed the eleventh tier of the Heavenly Path.
Each tier of the Heavenly Path does not provide a specific goal, and Yun Ye naturally completed each stage by following his thoughts.
From the second to the tenth tier, the strongest cultivators he encountered were peerless spiritual realm cultivators; he did not encounter any law realm cultivators.
Now that he reached the eleventh tier, his opponents seemed to have also increased in level, becoming law realm cultivators.
At this stage, having combat power alone is not enough; one must be able to awaken the Dao Artifact.
Otherwise, if he faced a ruling family, even reverse liberation would lead to instant defeat.
Yun Ye genuinely doubted that those who held the path of tomorrow could truly cross the Heavenly Path.
Not to mention that the eleventh tier requires facing multiple law realms; even at the second tier, there are at least several spiritual realm cultivators—only a super genius could manage to pass through that!
“Since the establishment of the Heavenly Path, it has been a million years.”
A voice suddenly rang out.
Yun Ye quickly looked up.
At some point, the crowned woman appeared in front of him, her gaze hollow, staring at him.
True Immortal Mother?
Why has she appeared?
A thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly remembered that every ten levels, the True Immortal Mother would teach him a portion of True Immortal magic—was she here to personally impart it?
“Greetings, Your Majesty of Red Heaven!”
Yun Ye held respect for this creator of the Red Heaven. She was a sage pursuing the ideal of the Great Harmony, allowing future generations to become True Immortals without cutting off their paths due to potential rebels.
Though, in the end, it seems she overestimated people’s hearts.
“…”
Red Heaven gazed at Yun Ye for a moment with a brief look of confusion. “You retained your memories?”
“No, I just happened to know your Majesty.”
Yun Ye’s expression did not change; he firmly denied it.
He had spoken too fast, not allowing his thoughts to catch up; there might be other True Immortals within the Heavenly Path, so he certainly couldn’t admit anything.
“Since the establishment of the Heavenly Path, it has been a million years.”
Red Heaven did not press further. She began to narrate the secrets without any change in tone, “Originally, the plan was for the human race to prosper eternally, and the Heavenly Path would be filled with segments of justice triumphing over evil. Any evil person would be unable to resist justice and would face the end of the spirit realm.”
“However, after I was lost, the Red Heaven Order collapsed. In the following tens of thousands of years, someone guided history, turning the world into a hell.”
“The Heavenly Path does not judge right from wrong; it simply records everything faithfully. As long as it is the history of the human race, whether past or present, it will be completely recorded."
“Thus, the history of justice overcoming evil has been diluted, and more and more idealists failed to pass through the Heavenly Path trials, forming a vicious cycle, and it has already been a million years.”
Red Heaven paused, her hollow gaze seeming to look far away, but Yun Ye was certain she was not looking at him. She continued,
“The just and idealistic will face the darkness of history, challenging opponents that far exceed their limits.”
“The evil and ambitious will face the brightness of history, easily overpowering hope with their already massive darkness.”
“In this million years, countless ‘hopes’ have come to me, but in the end, they became part of the darkness or disappeared forever.”
“This is a cycle that has repeated countless times; one person alone is far from enough to break it.”
Yun Ye couldn’t help but ask, “Is one person really far from enough? Would having more people make a difference?”
Red Heaven focused her gaze back on Yun Ye, her hollow eyes were somewhat frightening.
“More people are willing to give up becoming a True Immortal; then it would be possible.”
She replied.
“What do you mean?”
Yun Ye felt a bit uneasy.
Red Heaven was not one to speak in riddles.
She answered his question.
“The source of immortality is the Dao Artifact. To become a True Immortal means to use the Dao Artifact to modify the rules, allowing oneself to become immortal and transcend the rules of life.”
“But the power of the Dao Artifact is limited; it can only modify the rules once…”
“The difference between becoming a True Immortal and following the Dao lies here.”
“Choosing to become a True Immortal grants immediate immortality, allowing one to live alongside the world but not perish with it.”
“Even as a True Immortal, you cannot be killed; you can only be suppressed.”
“On the other hand, choosing the Dao permanently modifies the world’s rules, creating a power that even True Immortals cannot resist. However, this means forfeiting the power of immortality and confronting the essence of the ‘Immortal’.”
How can a mortal confront the immortal being?
Following the Dao means sacrificing oneself for justice—certain death.
“How is that possible? No one has been willing to sacrifice themselves for justice in a million years!”
Yun Ye doubted it.
After such a long time, surely there must be at least one fool willing to give up becoming a True Immortal!
“The Mystic Realm observes the threads of cause and effect, the True Realm glimpses the real, the Honored Position attests to the fruit-bearing position, and the Holy Path and Royal Path run through and anchor this world.”
“And the True Immortal overlooks the world; nothing escapes their eyes…”
Or rather, as long as a True Immortal is willing, nothing escapes their gaze.
In most cases, people show no interest in ants unless the ant becomes large enough to demand notice.
And this moment must be the moments of reincarnation.
“Then how did the future Path Lord… no, all True Immortals after the first True Immortal achieve their path? There should be at least ten True Immortals among humans. Did the first True Immortal, or rather, did the Blue Sky not prevent subsequent True Immortals from becoming True Immortals?”
Yun Ye said.
“There are always those who surpass even the understanding of immortals.”
“The first to master Spirit Law…”
“The first to develop Spiritual Law…”
“The first to unify the Five Elements…”
“And the Path Lord of the last era, who brought the Future Spirit Law to its peak.”
Red Heaven said.
The possibilities of humanity, even True Immortals cannot completely erase; thus, throughout a million years, some eventually became True Immortals, not buried in history.
And True Immortals are not all the same; the more there are, the less they can unify, increasing the possibilities for humanity.
“Who will be the next possibility?”
