Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 573 - 560 Secret News
Boundless Universe, where countless civilizations rise and fall among the vast stars.
And countless beings in their respective civilizations muddle along, experiencing lives of either torment or comfort.
From time to time, when they see a streak of streaming light across the night sky, they can’t distinguish whether it’s a fleeting meteor or a warship driven by higher life forms.
Just as people mostly don’t care about the ants around them, so do higher-ranked cultivators regard ordinary civilizations.
Not to mention the different life spans possessed by different beings.
Living briefly between heaven and earth, insignificant as a grain in the vast ocean.
…
"Buzz!"
Amidst a slight resonance of the Great Dao, Alkaid, piloting a Flying Boat, appeared on a palatial warship belonging to Yu Xiao Immortal King.
He leaped down, landing directly inside this palace, and was soon led inside by a cultivator who was nominally a disciple but in fact a servant of Yu Xiao Immortal King.
"Here you are."
Yu Xiao Immortal King called out.
For over a century, Alkaid had diligently assisted the Gate of Eternal Life in expanding its territory, impeccably fulfilling his duties as the external Vice-Sect Leader.
Such a useful subordinate, Yu Xiao Immortal King treated with a more friendly attitude.
"You say you have information on the Gate of Eternal Life? What’s the matter?"
Yu Xiao Immortal King asked with a smile.
"Not just the Gate of Eternal Life’s information, but also including the Dao Venerable that Your Highness intends to find next."
Alkaid approached the Immortal King, "As far as I know, the Dao Venerable who destroyed the Gate of Eternal Life should be the same one that Your Highness is looking for."
"The same person?"
Yu Xiao Immortal King appeared surprised, "The Gate of Eternal Life is backed by the Changsheng Group, and this group is not an easy opponent. This Dao Venerable destroyed the Gate of Eternal Life, a subsidiary of the Changsheng Group... This is bound to completely offend the Changsheng Group. I wonder which group’s Immortal King took action personally."
"Compared to him completely offending the Changsheng Group, shouldn’t Your Highness be more concerned about how powerful this Dao Venerable must be to be able to destroy the Gate of Eternal Life?"
Alkaid questioned.
"Strength…"
Yu Xiao Immortal King pondered for a moment.
The Gate of Eternal Life, as the leading force in the universe, was indeed painstakingly nurtured by the Changsheng Group.
And with almost every generation, there’s at least one Seventeen-Level Immortal Spirit stationing.
With the capabilities of its Seventeen-Level Immortal Spirit, coupled with the financial and material resources the Changsheng Group invested in this power, crafting numerous Immortal Artifacts and Immortal Arrays…
Even for him, to directly break through the Gate of Eternal Life would not be an easy task.
It would be likely to force the release of power exceeding the limits of this universe, thus necessitating ascension to the Immortal Realm.
"It seems that the force of this Dao Venerable is not small, yet I have not heard of it."
Yu Xiao Immortal King said.
This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
"The reason Your Highness has not heard of it is because he does not have any force; he destroyed the Gate of Eternal Life alone."
Alkaid stated.
"Alone?"
Yu Xiao Immortal King was taken aback, then immediately said, "Impossible! When the Changsheng Group established the Gate of Eternal Life, they considered the possibility of Eighteen-Level Immortal Spirits with the Cultivation Experience of Immortal King Realm being detrimental to the Gate of Eternal Life. Their reserved force there was to counteract a Dao Venerable from a Reincarnated Immortal King; a single Dao Venerable couldn’t possibly destroy the powerful Gate of Eternal Life."
"Normally not, but what if that Immortal Spirit were Nineteen-Level?"
"Even at Nineteen-Level, no! A Nineteen-Level Immortal Spirit, compared to an Eighteen-Level, has only higher Authority to mobilize more of Master of Primordial Yi’s power for enhancement and amplification. But the power of the Master of Primordial Yi is mainly concentrated in the Immortal Realm and has not been extensively projected into Lower Realm Universe. In other words, even a Nineteen-Level Immortal Spirit cannot obtain the great supreme wisdom of the Master of Primordial Yi’s power support, therefore, unless it’s the Legendary Twenty-Level Authority Holders who are nearly the clones of Master of Primordial Yi themselves taking action personally, the Gate of Eternal Life cannot be destroyed."
Yu Xiao Immortal King decisively negated.
Alkaid listened and couldn’t help but be secretly shocked, "Could it be possible that a Twenty-Level Authority Holder took action?"
"Twenty-Level Authority Holder?"
Yu Xiao Immortal King looked at Alkaid and spoke lightly, "You don’t understand what a Twenty-Level Authority Holder signifies. To some extent, Twenty-Level Authority Holders are already akin to a part of Master of Primordial Yi. They are often titled as Masters of Creation, Masters of Longevity, Masters of Tianyuan, Masters of Shenluo, etc. The operation of rules in Chaotic Origin Realm requires the assistance of the Nine Great Sovereigns. They represent the power of Master of Primordial Yi."
"Representation of power?"
"According to the old terms of Ancient Immortal Realm, Twenty-Level Authority Holders are equivalent to Daoist Ancestors! It’s just that our Chaotic Origin Realm doesn’t have as many as three thousand Daoist Ancestors; there are only nine. The Nine Major Groups are their will’s spokespersons, and this is why it’s said that the Nine Major Groups can influence Master of Primordial Yi. They hold such great powers in Chaotic Origin Realm that sometimes even the Master of Primordial Yi, representing the will of beings, must yield to the decisions of the Nine Major Groups."
Yu Xiao Immortal King spoke calmly.
Listening to this, Alkaid seemed to understand something.
If the Master of Primordial Yi is likened to laws and regulations, the Twenty-Level Authority Holders behind the Nine Major Groups undoubtedly stand above the laws.
Because the laws are established by them, then executed by Master of Primordial Yi.
However, only through their joint efforts do they have the power to enact laws and shake the decisions of Master of Primordial Yi.
"So you mean, although Lord of Primordial Yi didn’t project his power into the Lower Realm Universe, a Level Twenty Authority Holder can carry the Lord of Primordial Yi’s power into the Lower Realm when needed?"
Alkaid spoke.
"Correct."
Yu Xiao Immortal King slightly nodded while looking towards Northern Sea Star, "The reason I rushed there upon hearing that a powerful ’Dao Venerable’ had appeared was because that Star Domain is somewhat special. You, who were only a Sixteenth Level Immortal Spirit before, might not be aware that over three million years ago, during the Ancient Immortal Realm, the Time Daoist Ancestor and Void Daoist Ancestor merged and invaded our Chaotic Origin Realm, causing a great disturbance. They were later defeated by the Lord of Primordial Yi and perished in that starry sky. To ensure the complete demise of these two Supreme Dao Daoist Ancestors, the Master of Creation personally intervened, descending upon that star…"
At this point, he paused, "And with the power of Lord of Primordial Yi forcibly brought down, they directly obliterated the Great Void Path system of the Ancient Immortal Realm, destroying all the Void rules in that starry sky. Even now, the Void rules of that starry sky have not been fully restored."
He added another sentence, "Also, because the Void rules in that area have not been fully restored, it’s relatively easier for the Void Path to form there."
"Carrying the power of the Lord of Primordial Yi to descend…destroying the Void Path system in that region..."
Alkaid’s pupils shrank.
He suddenly linked to all the Void nodes destroyed within a billion light-years diameter.
Those nodes collapsed because…
The entire system of the Void Path was destroyed!?
Equivalent to...
Piercing through the entire Ancient Immortal Realm!?
Is the billion-light-year area where Northern Sea Star is located the hole left when the Ancient Immortal Realm was pierced through?
Thinking of this, Alkaid couldn’t help but speak out tentatively, asking: "Time Daoist Ancestor and Void Daoist Ancestor perished in that starry sky, did they…leave behind any legacies?"
"There should be some remains."
Yu Xiao Immortal King now trusted Alkaid somewhat, therefore, he was willing to reveal a bit about these matters, which were known only among Immortal Kings, or rather, among Eighteenth Level Immortal Spirits and above.
"When the Time Daoist Ancestor and Void Daoist Ancestor merged, they already possessed the capability to threaten Sovereigns, and if they had cautiously advanced in the Ancient Immortal Realm, we could have taken them down, but some sacrifices would have been necessary. However, they chose to invade our Chaotic Origin Realm, aiming to play out a strategy of capturing the king by capturing the thieves."
Yu Xiao Immortal King said with a smile, "They just had the power to threaten Sovereigns, but in our Chaotic Origin Realm, there are no less than nine Great Sovereigns! Once they invaded Chaotic Origin Realm, they were naturally courting death. Before they could even cause significant destruction, the part of them that was Time Daoist Ancestor simply exploded in desolation."
"Time Daoist Ancestor exploded?"
Alkaid was somewhat surprised, "After finally breaking into Chaotic Origin Realm, just to explode?"
"That is quite normal."
Yu Xiao Immortal King calmly said, "We Immortal Spirits have immortal lives, but there still are Immortal Spirits who, numbed or amidst intense emotional fluctuations, choose to self-destruct. Seeing the true strength of our Chaotic Origin Realm, the Time Daoist Ancestor chose to self-destruct in boundless despair, and this is considered a normal phenomenon."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Alkaid, "Of course, some also suspect a conspiracy, and many Immortal Spirits were even assigned to meticulously search the area where Void Immortal King perished, trying to ascertain whether the self-exploding Time Daoist Ancestor was feigning death; however, millions of years have passed without any discoveries."
"What then?"
"What then?"
Yu Xiao Immortal King replied, "Same paths lead to the same outcome. It is estimated that once the realm reaches a certain level, the state of mind is similar; numbness leads beings towards self-destruction as does mental collapse, and we could all understand this."
After saying this, he looked at Alkaid again, "It’s only you, the Immortal Spirits who haven’t lived long, that would be startled by such occurrences."
Yu Xiao Immortal King thought this was very normal.
But...
Is this really normal?
"I mean, if someone really did obtain the legacies left by the Time Daoist Ancestor, what manner do you think they would appear? What kind of abilities would they demonstrate?"
Alkaid asked.
Yu Xiao Immortal King frowned.
After a while, he said, "I can’t understand. The level I’m at hasn’t truly touched the domain of Daoist Ancestors, let alone a merged Time Daoist Ancestor that could threaten a Sovereign."
Listening to this, Alkaid was somewhat disappointed.
But it seemed within reason that Yu Xiao Immortal King wouldn’t understand these things.
His level clearly hadn’t reached the very top of Chaotic Origin Realm.
The Nine Great Sovereigns and several dozens of Level Nineteen Authority Holders are the true core of the Chaotic Origin Realm.
"Alright, let us set off. Speaking of which, I have become quite curious about that Daoist Ancestor."
Yu Xiao Immortal King said.
"Actually, there’s nothing really curious about it; it’s just the obliteration of the Gate of Eternal Life."
Alkaid shook his head.
"Hm?"
Yu Xiao Immortal King looked at him then suddenly asked, "How do you know so clearly about the matter of the Gate of Eternal Life?"
"It’s simple."
Alkaid smiled slightly, "The Gate of Eternal Life was destroyed by me, and the Daoist Ancestor you are about to search for is me."
