Chapter 184 : Immortal King Opens the Heavens
Chapter 184: Immortal King Opens the Heavens
“You have comprehended the operation of the world and the Dao of Yin-Yang balance. Your inner world has become more stable.”
“The operation of the world has further perfected your understanding of the Dao Scripture. Experience +800.”
“Dao Scripture: Minor Completion → Proficient (0/30000).”
“Dao Scripture has reached Proficient. Trait derived: Immaculate Immortal Body.”
“The Immaculate Immortal Body has been born, automatically overriding the Glass Medicine King Body.”
“Sure enough, Immortal Techniques are not so easy to comprehend!”
Looking at the text flashing before her, a trace of disappointment arose in Li Yunqing’s heart.
Her realm was still too low.
Although her strength had surged over the past year, there was still no clear direction for advancing her realm.
Most regrettable was the Dao Scripture—after a year of grinding, it had only reached Minor Completion without producing a trait. Instead, this sudden comprehension had boosted its experience drastically.
“But this Immortal Body is an unexpected delight!”
Looking at the words “Immaculate Immortal Body,” the smile on Li Yunqing’s face had not yet faded when vast immortal radiance suddenly appeared before her.
Sacred, pure, untouched by the mundane.
A crystalline brilliance instantly covered her body.
After a long while, Li Yunqing slowly opened her eyes. Her entire being felt as if it had been cleansed by divine water.
Immortal light swirled around her, free from all impurities.
“The Immaculate Immortal Body—untainted by the mortal world!”
“From now on, I no longer need to fear any drugs or poisons!”
Feeling the transformation, Li Yunqing’s heart settled.
With the Immaculate Immortal Body, all poisons, miasma—even aphrodisiacs—would have no effect on her.
Unless it was something from the Immortal Dao, everything would be instantly neutralized.
“And this immortal light… it’s gathering the laws of the Pure Yin Dao Body and Five Elements Dao Body at my chest.”
“Is a Dao Bone about to be born?”
Feeling the radiance at her chest, her heart pounded.
If she continued cultivating the Dao Scripture, she might obtain another Immortal Technique within a few years—
one born from a Dao Bone.
Moreover, as her Immortal Techniques increased, her inner world would grow stronger.
One Immortal Technique was comparable to ten or even twenty divine abilities.
“Instead of finding a new path of realms, I’ve progressed further along the path of fusing all methods!”
Feeling the stability of her inner world, she could not help but laugh.
The Wheel of Time had brought immense transformation.
It had established Yin-Yang balance and even formed sun, moon, and stars.
Given time, she might even derive an Immortal Technique from the Pure Yin Law.
“If I expand my inner world phenomenon and merge it with heaven and earth, I can probably use the Wheel of Time twice without issue.”
A stabilized inner world could borrow the power of heaven and earth.
Or even suppress everything directly with the inner world phenomenon.
“Hmm, someone’s here!”
Inside the room, Li Yunqing raised her head slightly.
Her pupils shimmered like spring water, reflecting the outside.
“It’s them!”
Seeing the arrivals were those who had broken through to the Dao Realm, she withdrew her inner world.
With a step, she became like drifting mist and appeared at the entrance.
“Your Majesty, everyone, please come in!”
She cupped her hands slightly and asked, “Has something happened?”
“Greetings, National Preceptor!”
Di Qing and the others returned the salute.
“We saw the phenomenon above your residence and came to take a look.”
He then glanced at the others.
Bai Yunting stepped forward. “Since breaking through to the Dao Realm a year ago, I have made no progress. I have come to seek guidance!”
All eight—including Di Qing—bowed deeply again.
Compared to waiting a year, they wished to seize this chance.
Especially Bai Yunting, Meng Sanchuan, Chen Mengsheng, and Di Qing.
They had comprehended something from witnessing her power and phenomenon, yet stagnation over the year had been torment.
“As for the others, they had just broken through and lacked insight.”
“Phenomenon?” Li Yunqing nodded. “Very well, let’s discuss inside.”
She did not refuse them and called out, “Bring tea!”
She herself had not found a new path either—exchanging ideas with geniuses was beneficial.
In the main hall, Di Qing and Li Yunqing sat opposite each other, while the others sat along the sides.
Their gazes frequently landed on Li Yunqing.
Seeing the Dao aura and immortal light around her, they were deeply shocked.
If before she still had traces of mortal aura, now she seemed like a true immortal.
As if descended from the Immortal Realm.
As for her beauty—though still captivating, none were distracted.
Her calm, water-like presence soothed the mind.
“National Preceptor, a year ago I opened the middle dantian and formed a phenomenon.”
Bai Yunting stood, a white jade palace appearing behind him.
“The past year, I have not known how to proceed.”
As he finished, Meng Sanchuan, Chen Mengsheng, and others also stood, their phenomena manifesting.
The hall filled with dazzling light and laws.
Li Yunqing nodded.
“I only have a general direction—take it as reference.”
Looking at Bai Yunting: “Your palace is a repository of Dao—call it a Dao Palace.”
“It gathers the laws of heaven and earth. You should comprehend more laws to strengthen it and nourish yourself.”
“To Meng Sanchuan: your phenomenon is a painting of all beings—your path lies among mortals.”
“To Chen Mengsheng: your wheel is a heavy artifact—perhaps it can become a real weapon.”
“To Your Majesty: your Human King phenomenon lies in the imperial path.”
After finishing, she continued:
“The phenomenon merges with heaven and earth, borrowing their power to nourish oneself.”
“The direction is to strengthen the phenomenon.”
“Whether for battle or cultivation, it revolves around it.”
“As for specific methods—I do not know.”
She had only opened this path through her experiences in the Great Scarlet Heaven.
Her own direction was to fuse all methods and strengthen her inner world.
“Strengthen the phenomenon?”
“But how?”
“And when is it complete?”
“What comes next?”
Doubts multiplied.
This new Dao was powerful—but unclear.
“All are crossing the river by feeling the stones.”
“In my view,” Li Yunqing said, “refine the phenomenon until it reaches its limit.”
“That would be the perfection of the Fifth Realm.”
“The next realm—either strengthen oneself using the phenomenon…”
“Or forge a divine weapon from it…”
“Or pursue both simultaneously.”
“Both combined would be stronger—but require more time.”
Everyone fell silent, deep in thought.
These were indeed viable paths.
The phenomenon connected self and heaven—drawing power and forging a core weapon.
But it required immense time.
After all, phenomena were built from divine abilities—they needed refinement and comprehension.
Perhaps even evolving into Immortal Techniques.
“The Fifth Realm is not simple…”
“Cultivate more related divine abilities…”
“Or create stronger techniques…”
“Approach Immortal Techniques step by step…”
Discussions erupted.
Ideas clashed.
And suddenly—
“Boom!”
A thunderous sound echoed across the Fallen Immortal Land.
“What happened?”
Across all regions, people looked up.
Even Li Yunqing and the others stepped outside.
“A clear-sky thunder?”
“Is it heaven celebrating?”
“Or… someone knocking?”
“Knocking on the door of the Fallen Immortal Land?”
Li Yunqing froze.
A fishing rod flashed in her mind.
“Don’t tell me that broken rod is causing trouble again…”
—
Great Scarlet Heaven, Gu Family.
Gu Dao held the seven-year-old Gu Yuan in one arm, a halberd in the other, his double pupils staring below.
Gu Yuan’s face was pale, his life force fading.
Even divine medicines could not stop it.
His Dao Bone had been dug out—leaving a void that devoured all vitality.
This was why removing a Dao Bone meant certain death.
“Brother… I’m fine… just protect the clan…”
Gu Yuan’s voice was faint.
“Don’t speak nonsense! You cannot die!”
Gu Dao’s voice was resolute.
“I will save you—even if I break the heavens!”
His eyes were filled with guilt.
Half a year of effort had failed.
The last hope was the Pure Yin Dao Body girl once fished up by the Immortal King Fishing Rod.
But the worlds could not connect.
“Gu Yuan, try again. Use the Immortal King Fishing Rod.”
“Just find her location!”
“I’ll handle the rest!”
Gu Yuan weakly grasped the rod and cast it.
Even that caused him to convulse.
“Buzz!”
Gu Dao’s double pupils manifested, locking onto the line.
Without sufficient karma, even the rod could not traverse worlds.
“Clang!”
The hook struck something in the void.
“This is it!”
Gu Dao’s eyes shone.
The Dao Bone in his chest erupted with immortal light.
“Immortal King Opens the Heavens!”
He roared.
Halberd, pupils, and Dao Bone power merged.
“Break!”
The strike shattered space.
His body cracked, blood flowing.
“Break!”
Again.
Again.
Three times.
“Boom!”
The void shattered.
“It’s lit!”
The guiding jade glowed.
With his last strength, Gu Dao hurled Gu Yuan into the void.
“Save him!”
“If you save my brother, my life is yours!”
“If I betray this vow, may I die without burial!”
“You must save him!”
