Chapter 511: Titles, Divine Seals, and Departure

Feng Xiang was merely a name for the physical body.

The true controller of this body was a genuine old monster, who had devoured the soul of the body and reborn, living on until now.

It’s important to note that when the Wind Dynasty was established, Feng Ci was already over a thousand years old, having lived through most of his life.

In a high and powerful position, enjoying a marvelous life without limitations, he experienced an unimaginable fear; he did not want to die and wished to live forever enjoying all of this.

But the lifespan of a cultivator was determined by rules, and no matter how much he devoured lives, the True Immortal status could at most forcefully extend a lifespan from 1,600 years to 2,000 years.

This wasn’t enough!

Feng Ci frantically searched for methods to further extend his life. With his talents, advancing to the Honored Position seemed impossible; he could only resort to evil paths to extend his life.

But such secret techniques were incredibly rare and not easy to find. To achieve this, he sought Divine Fate to exchange for a rebirth secret technique. After practicing hard for hundreds of years and finally learning the art of rebirth through a degradation method, Feng Ci immediately began cultivating a vessel.

This marked the beginning of the Wind Dynasty’s miracle, where an old monster continuously reborn held all the power of the Wind Dynasty, making it difficult for the dynasty to perish.

It wasn’t until the release of enough Calamity virus to corrupt cultivators led to significant chaos, giving rise to national-level combat power that even Feng Ci could do nothing about, that the Wind Dynasty finally fell. Yet he did not die; he simply went into hiding.

Unfortunately, there was no perfect rebirth secret technique in the world. Each rebirth gradually wore down the soul; no matter how meticulously prepared, Feng Ci ultimately became exhausted and lost most of his memories, heading towards collapse.

Even if Yun Ye didn’t kill him at this moment, after seizing Su Xinsan’s body, he could at most live for another thousand years.

“Bang!”

The soul’s scream suddenly stopped, as Yun Ye, who had completed reading, crushed the soul.

Yun Ye turned to look at Su Xinsan.

Her face turned pale, and she kept backing away, unable to muster any thoughts of resistance. However, as she retreated, she found she had no power left to push against.

The black-haired youth merely swept her with an emotionless gaze, then disregarded her and walked towards the imprisoned Tian Jialun.

This time, Su Xinsan realized that her feet began to turn to ash.

“No… don’t… I don’t want to die…”

Su Xinsan was no different from the previous five; she didn’t know how many rebels she had killed.

She reached out to Yun Ye, not wanting to vanish from this world, but in the end, she turned to ash, leaving not a trace behind.

Tian Jialun silently watched everything unfold. After being imprisoned for an unknown number of years, he had undergone a huge change, and everything seemed calm to him.

Bai Jiyuan and the others explained what had happened, and Tian Jialun listened quietly, saying nothing. He simply summoned his Dao Artifact and handed it to them.

Then, he left without speaking.

“Leader, you will continue to lead us. Don’t think of leaving! We will strengthen ourselves and never give up!”

One of the four suddenly shouted.

“Hmm!”

Tian Jialun didn’t stop; he only raised his clenched right hand.

Yun Ye leaned against the wall, watching Tian Jialun leave. He knew that Tian Jialun was merely disappointed by the current state of the Tomorrow Nation; once he accepted it, he would return to being the ambitious leader.

Unfortunately, the world was so cruel…

Yun Ye snapped his fingers, shifting his perspective, connecting with his real body and arriving in the Heavenly Dry Universe.

The true body sat before the star, taking in the entire universe while continuously refining the devoured Secret Realm.

Upon seeing his clone arrive, the true body casually tossed a divine seal.

Everything shattered.

Yun Ye’s consciousness returned once more, but before him floated a green divine seal, emanating a power far beyond the True Realm—vast, immense, and pure.

“Bestowing a title is not just a formality; it will bring with it divine might. Even without an official position, unleashing just one-tenth or one-hundredth of this power is enough to clear two provinces. Afterward, losing the power of the Dao Artifact doesn’t matter.”

As Yun Ye spoke, the Dao Artifact held by Tian Jialun shattered in response, its echoes flowing into the Ming Rihui Sword.

Tian Jialun’s Dao Artifact was afflicted by a calamity, so the echoes gained during this time were only one-tenth, with the majority of the echoes being those he obtained during the era of Tomorrow Nation—around five million.

During this process, Yun Ye grasped the secrets of the Dao Artifact and smiled as he flicked his finger, sending some echoes away.

This portion of echoes unexpectedly reformed the Dao Artifact without completely destroying Tian Jialun’s weapon.

It turned out that upon being promoted to Honored Position, one could see through the secrets of the Dao Artifact and easily separate the echoes.

Having opened Heaven and Earth, most Honored Positions were far inferior, and thus he could achieve the same feat.

“The Dao Artifact actually shattered and reformed…”

“No wonder it fights against the World God’s tendrils; it truly defies common logic!”

This was beyond the realm of common sense for the four, but compared to this, battling the World God was even harder for them to comprehend.

For Yun Ye, achieving this was no big deal, even separating the echoes didn’t seem remarkable anymore.

“I’ll thank the emperor on behalf of the leader…”

Bai Jiyuan looked up, but found nothing there, only a divine seal and the Dao Artifact floating in the air.

The others exchanged blank looks, stunned.

In the air, only one voice echoed.

“The other half of Tomorrow Society is entrusted to you. With this divine seal, the New Heavenly Dynasty will understand your identities.”

“Farewell, everyone.”

…

Yun Ye didn’t know how vast the Red Heaven realm was, but he felt it would be a long journey. With Tomorrow by his side, it didn’t seem dull.

After leaving Tree City, Yun Ye headed toward the Thunder Desert State.

Along the way, he encountered many members of Tomorrow Society using wind columns for hunting or moving. They had mastered a technique allowing their bodies to merge with the wind passages without harm. Although there was a time limit, mastering this skill dramatically increased their survival rate.

Every place had its own way of survival; humanity’s adaptability was strong. Since they could survive, there would be corresponding “solutions.”

Though there were only two provinces, the harsh environment of the Desert of Wind allowed no room for ordinary people to survive. The proportion of cultivators was far greater than in the Luo Dynasty’s three provinces, and their strength naturally surpassed it.

The Real Immortals who once aided the Luo Dynasty were not the entirety of the Wind Dynasty. At the very least, Feng Ci, this ruler, did not show up. His strength alone equaled that of the Luo Dynasty combined. The difference in strength was significant; the old monster was indeed formidable, but compared to Yun Ye, he was too weak.

“Rumble!”

Lightning crackled, with the land swarmed by Thunder Serpents, making it difficult to tread.

This was the scene after the gathering of thunder spirit energy. Even Thunder Element cultivators had to be cautious, but once one could cope, it could be considered a Spirit Land.

Yun Ye and Tomorrow sighed.

“Is the Thunder Serpent land beyond the sandstorm wind columns? The humans in these two provinces are truly miserable…” Tomorrow remarked.

“Actually, there are benefits; at least cultivating these two elements will be much easier, and the average strength will greatly surpass the mediocre environment of the Luo Dynasty,” Yun Ye replied.

“True, the Heavenly Path requires the stacking of methods. If one type of element is widely practiced, reinforced generation after generation, it will indeed be stronger. Every region has its own characteristics; these two provinces are focused on Wind and Thunder elements, while the Luo Dynasty is about embracing all rivers, and Dongwang City is about attribute fusion,” Tomorrow nodded.

In fact, Dongwang City was remarkably distinctive. Without Spiritual Law, the strength of one’s innate quality completely depended on attributes, leading to the cultivation of any powerful attribute without concern for the clan’s lack of suitable techniques; they were forced to be treated as waste.

In just over a hundred years, Dongwang City already witnessed the emergence of Yin-Yang attributes and Triple Attributes.

Continuing this development, it was highly likely that Quadruple Attributes and Quintuples would emerge. At that time, once one began cultivating Spiritual Law, they would soar to new heights, reaching a point of no return.

Sadly, Yun Ye interrupted this progress.

With Yun Ye’s talents and power, once he unified the Red Heaven, they would likely enter an era of explosive evolution.

The characteristics of Dongwang City would also be diluted.
