Chapter 1330 – The Immortal Assembly
At first, Su Yi assumed that the Obscuring Heavens Umbrella was enormously powerful, and he was on guard against it.
But gradually, he realized that the umbrella had just two wondrous applications. It could obscure the power of the Laws, and it was incomparably durable, practically unbreakable.
It didn’t do anything else.
This freed Su Yi up to vary his approach.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The umbrella shook violently. Firelight shook as it neutralized each and every one of Su Yi’s attacks.
Fu Dongli hid behind this treasure, but he was like a rubber ball; the impact sent him flying repeatedly, and he looked utterly wretched.
The shame and anger left him almost longing to die. He felt like he was about to go insane.
As a descendant of immortals, even in ancient times, no one in the Human Realm dared to treat him with disrespect.
Even other Transcendents respectfully called him “celestial,” an honorific reserved for descendants of immortals!
But a long time had passed, and everything had changed. It was bad enough that he’d become a revenant, but now, he’d been beaten to a pulp by a Oneness Realm World King! This shame was unquestionably far too great.
Suddenly, he shouted, “Enough! Su Yi, you…!”
Bang!
He was sent flying once more, grimacing in pain.
At first, he’d been charming, handsome, and elegant, with the bearing of an immortal. He seemed utterly confident.
But now, his hair was disheveled, his face was contorted, and his entire body was convulsing with agony. He was completely beyond recognition.
Brutal!
Were the other descendants of immortals he’d once known to see him now, he’d surely become a laughingstock.
Fu Dongli hissed, “Stop! I know Celestial Red Cloud. She….”
Bang!
Fist force cut through the air, sending both him and his umbrella flying.
Fu Dongli was so furious that he almost broke down. As the scion of a prominent immortal clan of the Immortal Realm, had he ever been this wretched before?
He hadn’t!
Meanwhile, Su Yi silently furrowed his brow.
The Obscuring Heavens Umbrella’s defensive power was truly unbelievable. He couldn’t budge it.
But he wasn’t about to give up so soon. He continued attacking. He could tell that Fu Dongli couldn’t hold out much longer!
“Activate!” Fu Dongli suddenly bellowed.
A streak of dazzling immortal light bloomed on his chest.
Su Yi was startled, and he instantly moved further away.
Boom!
A massive chasm opened in the space Su Yi had been standing in just moments prior. It spread into the distance, splitting everything in its path and throwing the air into turmoil. A destructive aura ran rampant.
Su Yi couldn’t help but be surprised. Had that attack hit him, he would have been badly injured, and that’s assuming he even survived.
It was also now that he saw the heart-protecting mirror hanging above Fu Dongli’s chest for the first time. It was octagonal, and its surface shone with immortal light. White flames rose and flashed with heart-palpitating radiance.
This put Su Yi on guard. “Leave that treasure behind, and I’ll leave you a path to life.”
“You’re dreaming!” Fu Dongli couldn’t help but laugh.
But his laughter soon gave way to violent, hacking coughs. His injuries were far too heavy, and he was a revenant. Repeatedly taking hits from the Laws of Reincarnation left him battered and broken, as if he might fall apart anytime now.
“Oh,” said Su Yi. He was just about to attack again when Fu Dongli closed the Obscuring Heavens Umbrella.
Bang!
When the umbrella closed, it actually drew Fu Dongli’s entire body into it. The umbrella then took to the skies and shot into the distance.
Su Yi tried his best to intercept the umbrella’s escape, but the Obscuring Heavens Umbrella neutralized his each and every strike.
In the blink of an eye, the wondrous treasure disappeared without a trace.
Meanwhile, Fu Dongli’s voice emanated from afar.
“Su Yi, just you wait! Within half a year, I’ll skin you alive, pluck your tendons, and cast your ashes to the wind!”
He spoke slowly and clearly. Every word revealed his icy, bone-deep hatred.
Su Yi stood there with his hands behind his back, gazing into the night sky.
A while passed before he said softly, “It really is good to be cautious. Next time we meet, I’ll have you leave all of your treasures behind.”
Fu Dongli’s strength was roughly comparable to Mu Yun’an’s. However, he had far, far too many treasures on him. There was practically no end to them, and each was stronger than the one before.
This made Fu Dongli incomparably dangerous.
In their battle just now, although Su Yi seized an absolute advantage in the end, he never dared to get complacent.
And indeed, he wasn’t wrong to be cautious.
In that final, critical juncture, Fu Dongli revealed his trump card. It was just a heart-protecting mirror, but its power reached unbelievable heights!
It’s true. These descendants of immortals are all absolutely rolling in it, thought Su Yi. He called Daoist Master Red Cloud ‘Celestial.’ There’s no doubt about it; she’s famous even amongst descendants of immortals.
Furthermore, this encounter told Su Yi that there were other descendants of immortals around too!
The world really is getting more and more exciting, and more and more interesting,
Su Yi laughed, then continued ahead, his figure quickly disappearing into the boundless darkness of the night.
……
An island shrouded in gray mists.
Whoosh!
The Obscuring Heavens Umbrella appeared out of nowhere and opened, revealing Fu Dongli.
“Young Leader, how did this happen to you?” A tall, stalwart elderly servant came up to greet him, only to be shocked by the severity of his injuries. There actually exists someone in this world capable of hurting the young leader?
“Don’t even ask,” said Fu Dongli, his expression unsightly. The thought of that battle and its wretched ending filled his heart with shame too great for words.
“You still haven’t found my Natal Dao Bone?” asked Fu Dongli.
The elderly servant said hurriedly, “I was just about to report on that, Young Leader. Yesterday, someone from Illusory Sword Immortal Tower sent word from the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone. Your Natal Dao Bone has already been excavated and unsealed, but due to the restriction of the Laws, we cannot remove it from the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone.”
Fu Dongli’s spirits soared. “Once my wounds have healed, let’s visit the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone. So long as I fuse with my Natal Dao Bone, I’ll be able to recover Dao Integration Realm cultivation! And once I’ve done that….”
Su Yi’s image appeared in his mind, and he couldn’t help but gnash his teeth. “I’ll kill that Su Yi bastard!!”
Su Yi?
The elderly servant was initially stunned, then visibly in disbelief. A reincarnated Oneness Realm World King? How could he possibly have hurt the young leader this badly!?
Fu Dongli seemed to read the old man’s expression. He said icily, “You are not to divulge any of this!”
The elderly servant hurriedly nodded. “Young Leader, if we’re taking a trip to the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone, we could actually seize the opportunity to attend the Immortal Assembly.”
Fu Dongli was stunned. “What kind of assembly?”
“It’s hosted by Celestial Mo Qingchou, the descendant of an Immortal Lord,” said the elderly servant. “She’s invited numerous recently awakened descendants of immortals to participate.”
“Furthermore, prominent sects of seekers of immortality, like the Illusory Sword Immortal Tower, Allspirit Immortal Mountain, the Hidden Skies Immortal Sect, and the Red City Daoist Sect, will send their experts to participate as well.”
Fu Dongli was instantly intrigued. “But what is Mo Qingchou after?”
Mo Qingchou was a descendant of immortals with an extremely illustrious background. She had an Immortal Lord clan behind her, and her sect was the hegemon of its region in the Immortal Realm.
“Apparently, within half a year, Dao Integration Realm revenants will be free to travel this world. They will no longer be subject to restrictions from the Laws,” the old servant explained quickly. “Celestial Mo Qingchou is convening this assembly of top factions to discuss how we’ll seize power in the days to come.
“Of course, more importantly, we have to discuss capturing the Temple Master. After all, only he controls the power of reincarnation, and only he can break our curses.”
Fu Dongli nodded. “Should the opportunity arise, I wouldn’t mind taking a trip there. But let’s ask around first.”
He was a descendant of immortals who’d survived the End of the Dharma. He knew far better than most that Mo Qingchou and her companions were in no way the only descendants of immortals to have survived that catastrophe!
Take Celestial Red Cloud. She’d already appeared too!
The current situation was ultimately still muddled. No one could confirm how many unparalleled experts passed during the End of the Dharma, nor could anyone predict how many had awakened from dormancy.
But Fu Dongli knew that as time passed, the clouds would disperse, and the truth of the situation would become clear.
The elderly servant nodded. “A wise choice. I’ll send word to Illusory Sword Immortal Tower and have them send word of everything that’s happened in the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone of late.”
“The Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone isn’t the only place worth noting. There’s also the Impermeable Demon Ocean, the Starjade Forbidden Grounds, and several others,” said Fu Dongli, furrowing his brow and sinking briefly into thought. “Forget it. Never mind that for now. Within half a year, I’ll have Su Yi die without a proper burial!”
All he wanted to do now was avenge this humiliation. He couldn’t be bothered to even think of anything else.
……
Three days later.
Violet River City, the greatest city in the Smoke Province.
The Divine Forge, the greatest holy ground for artificers in the Eastern Profound Star Domain, was located here.
When Su Yi saw the city’s ancient, majestic outline from afar, he couldn’t help but smile as he recalled an interesting incident from the past.
A mysterious, strangely shaped stone stood outside the gates of the Divine Forge.
It was incomparably heavy. Over the years, the owner of the Divine Forge, Wang Pu, proclaimed that he’d refine a free divine artifact for anyone who could lift the stone!
This caused widespread uproar, and numerous experts came to attempt the challenge.
Alas, not even Cosmic Enlightenment World Kings could so much as budge the strangely shaped stone!
This incident threw the entire Divine Capital Star Realm into uproar, becoming a famous topic of discussion.
Back then, the Temple Master wanted to refine the Sword of the Human Realm, and he visited the Divine Forge. Many people egged him on, encouraging him to see if he could lift that strange stone.
The Temple Master was curious, and he walked up to test it, only to find that he could lift that “unmovable” stone with ease.
The crowd exclaimed and clamored for Weng Pu to refine the Temple Master’s free divine artifact.
But Wang Pu just smiled and told the Temple Master to read the words written on the bottom of the strange stone.
The Temple Master raised the stone and had a look. The text read: “It doesn’t count if you’re the Temple Master.”
The Temple Master couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Wang Pu had obviously known that only he could lift the stone. He was complimenting him; how could the Temple Master get hung up on some free artifact?
The incident became a popular tale, and it soon circulated throughout the stars, delighting all who heard it.
I wonder how ol’ Wang Pu is doing after all these years?
As Su Yi pondered, he walked into Violet River City.
But when he saw the Divine Forge in the distance, he couldn’t help but come to an abrupt halt.
The forge’s gates were tightly shut, and the strange stone formerly standing before the gates was nowhere to be found.
There was just a scraggly man in gray seated with his legs crossed, his back against the wall lining the stone steps. He was using his hands as a pillow, and his eyes were tightly shut.
As if he were sleeping.
