Necropolis Immortal-Chapter 1833: A Great Dao Is Not Walked Alone

Chapter 1833: A Great Dao Is Not Walked Alone

Many viewed the spirit paper as a mix of truth and hearsay; it was mostly something to pass the time with when one took a break from cultivation. Civilization of the chief worlds had developed to the point where people only knew cultivation. Endless pursuit of higher levels, breakthroughs, and more strength was the purpose of life. Entertainment fell by the wayside.

Thus, the spirit paper drew great interest when it was published.

As time went on, its reports were verified one by one. They were all true!

An imperceptible and unobtrusive influence filtered through the chief worlds, impacting the cultivators' deep-rooted beliefs. It enabled immortal dao to soundlessly enter the outside realm and put down roots.

Such was Wanfeng's plan.

She'd mentioned it before to Lu Yun, but he was planning on melding hell together then and hadn't had energy to spare for her idea. To think that she would be one step ahead and create thousands of people like Yu Jiang in the chief worlds!

Major factions or strong cultivators possessed their own dao and were remarkably resolute about it. Only with minor characters such as Yu Jiang was there a chance for drastic change.

Formula dao was bait. Its magical side was showcased front and center to draw curiosity from the supremes, prompting their greed and action. When immortals later appeared in the outside realm, they seemed to be a result of the supremes' plans. And so, this new kind of cultivator was smoothly accepted by the chief worlds.

……

Yu Jiang defeating a nineteenth level cultivator exceeded the zone of comprehension for most people. Eighteen levels and nineteen levels were separated by an insurmountable gap. They were completely different planes of existence, and one who could defeat a superior cultivator was definitely a genius.

But everyone knew that Yu Jiang was no genius. Important personages had collected the geniuses from their world long ago, leaving behind regular cultivators who harbored no potential to exceed sequence.

Hence, Yu Jiang defeating someone stronger could be attributed to only one thing—immortal dao! His great dao was truly very strong!

"More?" Yu Jiang grinned, making the hand seal for his second move, Peng of Kun.

"If I join your sect and practice immortal dao… will you teach me your first technique?" The thin young man stared intently at Yu Jiang.

"I will!" he nodded. "Everything that I've learned in the Dao Academy can be passed onto others. The immortal dao's philosophy is that everyone is the same and everything is welcome to it. A great dao is not walked alone, we are all free and unfettered! Whoever cultivates immortal dao can learn everything about it!"

"Very well, I, Hu Ruofei, will join your Immortal Sect and cultivate the immortal dao!" the thin youngster shouted.

Lu Yun: ……

"These two… are putting on a rather fake act… but I guess it's enough to fool these people." Lu Yun's lips tugged up in a half smile. Both of them had brought their full strength to bear when fighting each other, and it was true that Yu Jiang had broken Hu Ruofei's sword with one blow. It was also real that he'd sent his opponent reeling backward.

But that speech of his… those promises… and Hu Ruofei immediately agreeing to switch to immortal dao… It almost made Lu Yun cringe from the corniness. He would never believe that this was the genuine reaction of two strangers!

But Yu Jiang was right. Immortal dao was open and compatible with all. A great dao was not tread by only one person, yet cultivators should seek to remain free and unfettered on their path. This was how the Dao and Formula Academies taught their disciples and these principles were deeply established in many immortals.

But how long had someone like Yu Jiang attended the academy? He was saying all this just to recruit more disciples for his sect and earn more enigma stones.

All living things interacted with each other in pursuit of their own profit. If Yu Jiang could cultivate for a few hundred or even a thousand years at the Dao Academy, he might truly understand the meaning of what he was saying. His actions would match his thoughts then.

Unbidden, Lu Yun sighed.

"Oh? Does this fellow daoist not accept my words?" Yu Jiang turned around with a smile, he seemed to have heard Lu Yun. "Do you wish to fight me too?"

"I do," Lu Yun nodded. "But what a coincidence, I studied at the Dao Academy of the Land of Reincarnation too. My potential was too poor to cultivate formula dao, so the supremes disqualified me."

"You've met the supremes?!" Yu Jiang's voice almost broke from shock. Supremes were the absolute powerhouses of the chief worlds and legendary characters. Huangpang was too small to have a supreme!

Its ruler was a thirtieth level sequence cultivator. This major world wasn't rich enough in resources to draw the attention of the supremes.

"Yes," Lu Yun nodded again. "A supreme personally sent me into the land so I could cultivate immortal dao and peer into the secrets of formula dao. But my potential was too poor. I let them down."

Since there were people like Yu Jiang to be the perfect cover for Lu Yun, he wouldn't bother concealing his immortal dao anymore. He'd been using the Stillness Talisman to hide the ripples of his immortal dao before this. It looked like he'd been needlessly worried that the outsiders would read something from his aura and undo his disguise.

As for whether or not he'd ever met a supreme… he was sure that the Myriad Spirit and Firstspirit Supremes would make his lie whole. They were also once part of the contingent that coveted formula dao and furiously funneled chief world cultivators to the Dao Academy. If it wasn't for Leize appearing and stopping them, they probably would've joined immortal dao themselves to follow their master.

Lu Yun hadn't known that there were already immortals in the chief worlds before he set out on this jaunt.

"Since fellow daoist wishes a fight, I shall answer in kind!"

Boom!

Lu Yun released the full might of his twenty-four levels of immortal dao sequence.

"After you, fellow daoist!" Lu Yun raised a pair of great axes in his hand. It made for an intimidating sight with his muscular body and roughly hewn features.

Yu Jiang and Hu Ruofei's jaws dropped and they swiftly backed away.

"Twenty, twenty-four levels?!" Yu Jiang stammered.

"That's right!" Lu Yun was the perfect example of a rough and tumble brute without any complicated schemes up his sleeve.

"Nope, nope, nuh uh. Not fighting!" Yu Jiang rapidly shook his head. "Here's one thousand enigma stones, please accept them!"

"I don't want them, I want to join the Immortal Sect!" Lu Yun roared back. "I have not seen the shadow of an immortal since leaving the Land of Reincarnation and traveling through several major worlds. I've finally found you guys today, so I want to join your sect!"

"Okay!"

"No!" Yu Jiang and Hu Ruofei said at the same time, but their answers were different.

Hu Ruofei didn't think much about it. He knew full well how strong immortal dao was and had fallen in with Yu Jiang because he wanted to train in it. Yu Jiang, however, wanted to be the boss of the sect and earn enigma stones.

If a twenty-fourth level sequence expert joined them, who'd be the boss then?

"No?!" Lu Yun glared. "Didn't you just say that a great dao is not walked alone and we are all the same? How come the same doesn't apply to me??"

Yu Jiang winced inwardly and didn't know how to respond.

"You're already an immortal, fellow daoist, why do you want to join us?" It was Hu Ruofei who raised a halting question.

The mystified crowd looked at each other. Seeing one immortal was rare enough, to think that another had appeared so quickly!

"Yu Jiang, you're afraid of this strong immortal taking over your sect and seizing your business, aren't you?" someone snorted.

A wry expression developed on Yu Jiang's face. He really didn't know what to say, he'd already voiced all those self righteous words!
