Floating Immortal Order

Chapter 240: Three Realms of the Yin Wheel, Destruction of the Deep Night Realm

“Master, you are awake!”

Amidst the transformations of the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda, a young man with white hair clad in golden robes materialized into being. He knelt on the ground, face glowing with excitement as he looked at ‘Xu Disheng’, whose eyes were filled with golden light.

“The heavenly 卍 character sealing mantra cast by Lord Buddha of Sahā Heaven contained boundless restrictive laws. At the moment, I cannot truly awaken. Only a sliver of my consciousness has managed to shake free of the restrictions,” the young man said as the golden light in his eyes gradually dispersed, leaving only a cold, aloof gaze in his resplendent eyes. “But it will only delay my awakening by a little bit. That nine-petal lotus platform managed to protect the remnants of that ant’s soul and even carried away a bit of the power of my golden true spirit.”

Fear appeared on the face of the young man in golden robes, and he knelt to the ground, admitting his guilt. “Master, it was due to my inability that that nine-petal lotus platform managed to escape. Please inflict punishment upon me.”

‘Xu Disheng’ gently waved his sleeve, enveloping the white-haired, golden-robed young man in a stream of golden Buddhist light. “Rest assured. You are also not fully awakened at the moment. Your rank is too low to stop that fully intact peak Profound Treasure. Your failure was within reason.”

As the Buddhist light permeated his body, the aura around the white-haired young man surged. The glow surging from the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda intensified, even leaking out of the Profound Resonance Hall and illuminating the entirety of Cloud Abyss Peak.

‘Xu Disheng’ swept his senses throughout his body and found that his sea of consciousness was completely empty. His Jianggong meridian point was also devoid of any profound qi, causing him to frown slightly. He reached a hand out into the void and gently clenched his fist.

A mote of golden Buddhist light instantly appeared within his Sea of Qi, which transformed into a slowly rotating golden lotus flower.

The golden light permeated his body, and within a few breaths of time, his Shenque acupoint, the sea of consciousness in his Baihui acupoint, the sea of qi in his Jianggong acupoint, as well as the other meridians forming the 36 Meridians, became filled with golden profound liquid.

If others were here, they wouldn’t dare to believe what they were seeing, and would be utterly rocked beyond belief!

Within moments, a supreme, unsurpassable Golden Lotus Dao Foundation was rebuilt!

What was flowing through his meridians wasn’t profound qi, but golden profound liquid! This phenomenon was so beyond the ordinary that it would be enough to cause a storm throughout the Human Realm!

A Dao Foundation stage aura surged from the body of ‘Xu Disheng’, but the frown on his face remained. Dazzling light was blossoming forth from the golden lotus in his Sea of Qi, and a massive Buddhist halo appeared behind his head. At that moment, the golden lotus melted down, transforming into pure golden Core Liquid!

As the Core Liquid began to coalesce, a shocking aura spread out from his body, enveloping all of Cloud Abyss Peak. Within dozens of miles, all the power of heaven and earth flocked towards him, forming a huge vortex that ravenously devoured all the energy!

Under the crushing pressure of the oppressive aura, all the disciples on Cloud Abyss Peak were pressed to the ground, unable to rise. They were forced to go all out, using their Spirit Tools to protect themselves. There were several disciples with insufficient cultivation bases who were overwhelmed by the unrestrained aura and spewed out mouthfuls of blood as they were blasted out of the range of Cloud Abyss Peak.

The Divine Core stage!

A Golden Buddhist Core was formed, bursting forth with brilliant golden radiance. It floated in ‘Xu Disheng’s’ Sea of Qi, where a lotus flower projection flickered in and out of existence.

A figure floated in the high clouds, looking down at Cloud Abyss Peak. It was Primordial Lord Yangze, one of the two Mountain Lords of the Mingxin Mountain Range.

The astonishing, heaven-shocking changes on Cloud Abyss Peak had alarmed nearly the entire Mingxin Mountain Range. Countless disciples flew towards the area, and over ten of the Divine Core stage Spirit Masters were gathered in the air, their faces filled with disbelief as they discussed among each other.

Everyone knew Xu Disheng’s cultivation level—he was genuinely at the early Dao Foundation stage.

How could he possibly break through to the Divine Core stage in just a few days?

Even the most talented monstrous genius couldn’t break through from the early Dao Foundation stage to the Divine Core stage in such a short time!

Sensing the skyrocketing aura exploding out of Profound Resonance Hall, all of the Spirit Masters, even Severing Meridian Spirit Master Feng Simiao and Celestial Tide Spirit Master, who knew Xu Disheng well, couldn’t hide the shock and apprehension on their faces.

Primordial Lord Yangze’s figure appeared in the air, and the disciples who had crowded around Cloud Abyss Peak all looked amazed and shocked. They bowed in unison and greeted, “Respectful greetings, Mountain Master Yangze.”

Primordial Lord Yangze just gently waved his sleeve, gazing at Cloud Abyss Peak with an inexplicable look in his eyes. He muttered, “This matter is extremely strange. Greater Lord Zhuri has arrived; we should not go for now.”

Sure enough, light and shadow flashed outside the Profound Resonance Pond, condensing into the figure of a man, who immediately entered Profound Resonance Hall.

“How can this be possible?! Exalted Soul Suppressor Sacred Son broke through to the Divine Core stage!?”

“This is absolutely impossible! When the Exalted Soul Suppressor Sacred Son was just conferred as a Shangqing Sacred Son, I went to visit him. His cultivation base was truly at the early Dao Foundation stage!”

“Did the Exalted Soul Suppressor Sacred Son come across some unrivaled opportunity, allowing him to somehow break through overnight?”

“I don’t know, but even the eminent Greater Lord Zhuri has appeared here. This matter is probably not that simple.”

The countless disciples present were whispering amongst each other, and many more came from other Mountain Ranges after hearing the news. The air outside Cloud Abyss Peak became packed with people, and all eyes were on Profound Resonance Hall atop Cloud Abyss Peak.

…

‘Xu Disheng’ stretched out his hand. The artifact spirit in his form as a white-haired young man in golden robes faded away completely, and the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda flew straight into his hand. Compared to before, the pagoda had undergone great physical changes. It was now engraved with ancient, desolate patterns and was enveloped in golden Buddhist light. Under the awakening of “Xu Disheng’s” Buddhist power, it had completely recovered to being a peak Profound Treasure within mere moments! ｂ𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎ｌ.ｎｅｔ

“You are not Soul Suppressor.”

A somewhat surprised man’s voice entered ‘Xu Disheng’s’ ears. He looked towards the gate to the hall, where Greater Lord Zhuri stood quietly, staring at him fixedly.

In a short moment, ‘Xu Disheng’ branded the short twenty years of memories belonging Xu Disheng’s mind onto his sliver of soul. The golden Buddhist light reappeared in his eyes as he said, “Soul Suppressor? Just a tiny ant born by accident.”

Greater Lord Zhuri detected a hint of an ancientness in ‘Xu Disheng’s’ aura, which made even his primordial spirit tremble slightly. His tone turned serious. “May I ask…”

Greater Lord Zhuri had some guesses as to what was happening. He had the feeling that this phenomenon was similar to what had happened to Lu Ling of the Ancient Nuwa Sect back at the Luminous Cloud Abyss. It was clearly the reincarnation phenomenon of some supreme being, a reawakening of their memories.

“Middling Clone Avatar stage junior,” the youth said, his tone remaining indifferent despite facing a Greater Lord of the Clone Avatar stage, “You are not worthy of knowing my name.”

Greater Lord Zhuri, a powerful figure in the Clone Avatar stage, was thus belittled by ‘Xu Disheng’, but he did not refute. His expression only became more grave. “May I ask… where will you go hereafter?”

‘Xu Disheng’s’ cultivation base had now stabilized at the peak of the Divine Core stage. He murmured, “Human Realm, Eastern Region, Shan Mountain Territory…”

After a moment, his eyes flashed with golden light. He gazed at Greater Lord Zhuri in front of him and said, “At this time, I have still yet to fully awaken. If I can free up a bit more of my consciousness, I can directly recover to the Divine Sea stage. At this point, that would take me about two hundred years.”

“Offer all the cultivation resources of the Shangqing Sacred Sect to me, and I will allow the Shangqing Sacred Sect to unify the Eastern Region of the Human Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Greater Lord Zhuri’s eyes flickered with an intense, extraordinary light, but it disappeared just as quickly as it appeared. His tone, however, was not calm at all. “Why should we believe you?”

‘Xu Disheng’ just smiled indifferently. “Before I reincarnated, I could casually speak a word and my word would be carried out, in a way that the all three heavens and nine realms would feel its effects. Although I may be weak now, you piddling Clone Avatar stage juniors are not worth me deceiving.”

His original plan before reincarnating was to find a powerful sect and use its resources to accelerate his cultivation. Upon reaching the Divine Sea stage, he planned to change from the Buddhist Path to the Immortal Path and ascend to the highest heights, reversing the fate of all living beings and gathering the incomplete true spirit of Divine Elder Lu Ling to fully revive himself.

Divine Elder Lu Ling was once a Rank 3 deity in the Heavenly Court. When he left the Heavenly Court and entered Sahā Heaven, she followed without hesitation, and even accompanied him on the path of the Bodhisattva.

If the soul was destroyed, the true spirit could still enter the Nine Serenities Realm and be reincarnated.

But if the true spirit was completely shattered, it would truly be the end, and there would be no remaining traces.

Even with the heaven-toppling cultivation base he had in his previous life, he could not violate this fundamental principle of heaven and earth.

Although he had utilized the power of creation to try to somehow protect the incomplete true spirit of Divine Elder Lu Ling, he was unable to revive her. The result almost caused his Buddhist heart to collapse, nearly driving him mad.

In the long since overturned Immortal Court, it was rumored that there was a forbidden Immortal Technique that could draw on the endless life spans of living beings and overturn heaven and earth. This technique could not only completely revive the incomplete true spirit of Divine Elder Lu Ling, but also restore all his memories and reconstruct his Immortal Body.

Greater Lord Zhuri showed a hesitant expression, seemingly waiting for something.

After a moment, Red Nacre Greater Lord, Greater Lord Mingxin, and a few other Greater Lords appeared in the small Profound Resonance Hall, their faces serious as they looked at ‘Xu Disheng’.

“Although this body is only at the trifling Divine Core stage, you all would be unable to stop me if I wanted to leave,” ‘Xu Disheng’ said, gently shaking his head. The Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda in his hand emitted a dazzling Buddhist light that shot straight into the sky. All Eight Mountains of the Shangqing Sacred Sect could see this beam of light that pierced the sky. “What I said before remains unchanged.”

The remaining half of the sentence went unspoken.

But all the Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords understood.

If they did not agree, he would leave at once, and when he reached the Divine Sea stage, it might spell the destruction of the Shangqing Sacred Sect.

These supreme reincarnated beings never had any regard for the rules, and in the Human Realm, they were even less concerned. They would definitely not be bound by the unspoken rules of the sects and influences in the Eastern Region of the Human Realm.

“Fine.”

As for the real Exalted Soul Suppressor Sacred Son, who had disappeared, neither side mentioned it.

In the eyes of the Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords, he must have been devoured by the recently awakened supreme being before them, and assimilated.

And ‘Xu Disheng’ here, did not even deign Xu Disheng worthy of his regard. He clearly did not consider a consciousness born by mere coincidence to be worth thinking twice about.

…

The news of Exalted Soul Suppressor Sacred Son’s sudden breakthrough to the Divine Core stage due to some heaven-defying opportunity spread like a wildfire throughout the entire Shan Mountain Territory.

He even changed his title to “Origin Immortal”. After establishing a domain in the Shangqing Spiritual World above the Pure Spirit Ocean, he settled down.

With the rise of Origin Immortal Sacred Son, the word “Immortal”, which had been classified as taboo for countless years, reappeared once more in the minds of the people.

…

Heavenly Court, House of the Earth God…

“What is happening with the Human Realm?!”

“It’s simply a mass of fog! I can’t see anything clearly anymore!”

Several Rank 3 deities’ expressions flickered with shock, and they all felt a sense of unease. They exchanged glances and immediately transformed, flying off into the distance.

“We must go see the Chief God and report this right away!”

…

Chan held the Immortal Treasure known as the Floating Life Wheel as she looked down at the Deep Night Realm below. The realm was now devoid of life, and she revealed a hint of a smile filled with unparalleled beauty.

(TL: This name, Chan, consists of only one Chinese character, 婵, which means ‘beauty’ or ‘grace’.)

The Deep Night Realm, one of the Three Realms of the Yin Wheel, had been completely destroyed.

In the span of a few breaths, the billions of living beings residing in the Deep Night Realm had been completely eradicated, and the Chief God stationed here, the Rank 2 deity Divine Lord Nightspan, was unable to put up a fight against Chan’s Floating Life Wheel and died, returning to the cycle of reincarnation.

At that moment, the void trembled, as if a figure was about to appear in the Deep Night Realm. Chan frowned, and the Immortal Treasure in her hand shot out a stream of pale white Immortal light. The glow completely suffused her body and her surroundings as she faded away and departed.
