Necropolis Immortal

With the demise of the realm monster, its body became a world again. The core essence of this world was one of the three hundred and sixty-five Major Cycle Worlds that supported the fourth realm. Its original form had been completely erased, so this was a brand new world, but its core essence held a trace of the original Major Cycle World.

This rebuilt world was incredibly strong, much stronger than any world in the fourth realm. Thus, it was a perfect choice on which to establish a Formula Dao Academy.

……

"Three thousand daos and three thousand beholders… is this really a coincidence?" Lu Yun rose to his feet and looked around, seeing three thousand great daos and their beholders apart from immortal dao in this world. The three thousand daos had either melded into immortal dao anew or were never part of immortal dao to begin with.

Three thousand wasn't a specific number in the fourth realm—it was a general notion according to the original Hongmeng. However, that number was now present in reality and immortal dao had become a dao that encompassed three thousand great daos.

Of those, they included Lu Yun's formula dao and Dongfang Mo's spirit dao.

"Is this the will of heaven?" Lu Yun looked upward, then shook his head. "Heaven's will is the people's will. Man plots schemes and is the determinant of success or failure. This has nothing to do with heaven."

Formula dao was now common knowledge and the various dao beholders trained in it. Although Lu Yun wasn't confident that they'd remain loyal to him, it was enough if he could deter them from acting against him.

He didn't need anyone to swear loyalty to him. All he needed was for them to safeguard immortal dao and be a dao beholder beneath it. He wasn't so ambitious that he wanted to control their life and death with the snap of a finger.

At the same time, the newly constructed world recognized Lu Yun as its master. He was as invincible here as he was in hell, able to deploy immortal dao at will to suppress the dao beholders.

The world was evolving into a second world of immortals. With the Immortal Myriadtree rooted here, that made it another origin point for immortal dao. Lu Yun didn't plan to combine it with the first world of immortals—he didn't like to put all of his eggs in one basket. There were still enemies moving against the worlds and world of immortals in particular. If they destroyed the latter, this world would become Lu Yun's last bastion.

He didn't want to fully open this world to the outside either. There was a budding world of formula dao in the three thousand daos. Lu Yun planned to use it as the foundation for the Formula Dao Academy.

Immortal dao encompassed this world and reforged it; three thousand daos percolated through it. The process wouldn't take long since the reformation of a world was the best timing for various great daos to take up residence. Developing in conjunction was the procedure to making a perfect world.

The dao beholders didn't think that much, instead focusing on incorporating their great dao into immortal dao with complete peace of mind and reforging the world together. Since they'd bent their knee to immortal dao and assimilated their daos into immortal dao, they'd betrayed their previous path. If they returned to their homes now, they'd be executed as soon as they showed their face. They'd be tortured so badly they could only wish for death.

This world was now their second home, their home of rebirth. As it were, their mission to create a world of sequence had been a risky one, fraught with peril, to begin with.

……

Eighty years.

Lu Yun spent eighty years in this world, waiting for it to fully take shape and shed the once Myriadsea World, kingdom of Ruina, and the realm monster world. He gave it a new name before leaving—Fairylands.

The name was related to Earth as it was a world in Earth mythology, one demarcated by four great provinces and ruled by the greatest deities, such as the Jade Emperor and Buddha.

When Lu Yun returned to the fourth realm, he brought Jian Bu'er and the Demonic Vibe with him. Jian Bu'er hadn't entered Myriadsea World willingly and finding his way out had always been a cherished dream. It finally came true today!

For the boundless fourth realm, eighty years of absence was less significant than a sneeze. Lu Yun's people didn't worry once they knew he was fine—it was Mo Wusheng of the Luminaries who was pursued so thoroughly by the blood demon that he had nowhere to turn to.

Although Lu Yun hadn't died, he'd gone missing. That was a flagrant dereliction of duty from the blood demon and an immense personal humiliation. Mo Wusheng almost died more than a few times, and if it wasn't for Luminary powerhouses appearing in the nick of time, there wouldn't be such a character left in existence anymore.

……

After enduring endless twists and turns, the little fox finally managed to refine the Hongmeng Tower and become its mistress. Immediately following her success, the immortal dao seeped into the Hongmeng from the chaos, reuniting with the immortal dao that Qing Yu had left in the third realm.

There were roots of the immortal dao in the Hongmeng to begin with. The Dao King had planted them and the Immortal Region was fashioned from immortal dao. In his absence, the little fox took control and turned it into the origin for Hongmeng immortal dao.

The third realm was undergoing a revolution, and the Eastern Cluster around it was likewise experiencing the same changes.

The Dao King sat cross-legged in the air with eleven creation seeds revolving around him, the seeds smashing into each other from time to time and emanating a wisp of world force. The slightest outline of a world could be seen next to him. At his current rate, he would give rise to a real world after ten thousand more years.

"Here? Not dead?" He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Lu Yun next to him, grumbling as if he was displeased that Lu Yun was still alive.

"I'm slippery and didn't go belly up this time," Lu Yun chuckled. "I actually benefited from disaster instead. I have a world now, the Formula Dao Academy can be built there."

"Huh?" The Dao King stared blankly at him for a long period of time. "You mean… I don't need to build a mental world?"

"Yep," Lu Yun nodded. "We don't need you to do that anymore."

"You mean I've wasted eighty years of effort?!" Fire spat from the Dao King's eyes and he roared at Lu Yun, "I consumed my core essence to help you build this world—"

Whoosh!

Lu Yun vanished from sight with the Boundless Step.

"Get back here!" The Dao King sat firmly in the void and shot his hand forward, making a grasping motion in the direction that Lu Yun had disappeared in. The young man reappeared right in front of him.

"And the other little fellow, you've been observing for a while. Why not show yourself?" The Dao King whistled before Lu Yun had a chance to speak.

"I was just about to request a demonstration from the senior." Jian Bu'er revealed himself with radiant sword light sparkling from his rusted sword, slashing down at the Dao King.
