Desolate Devouring Art - Chapter 1355 - Fourth-Level Primal Origin Realm
Chapter 1355 – Fourth-Level Primal Origin Realm
An undercurrent began to stir across the various astral domains.
The opening of the astral domain was never easy, and the first step always required pinpointing the True Martial Continent’s location.
However, the Heavenly Dragon Sect felt no such pressure because Liu Wuxie hailed from the True Martial Continent.
They could use his blood as a guide, activating the Celestial Astral Platform to lock onto the True Martial Continent’s coordinates.
The Immortal Slaughter Palace shared the same advantage, as Ji Yuzhen also originated from the True Martial Continent. They could likewise use his blood to determine the exact coordinates. Even the divine race dispatched many experts into the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain amidst the astral storm.
As for the other sects, even if they learned of all this, there was nothing they could do about it.
Liu Wuxie pressed on with his breakthrough, his true essence surging and condensing into a powerful shockwave that nearly blasted the courtyard apart.
The disciples living nearby had long since moved away, as they would be affected whenever Liu Wuxie cultivated and devoured all the surrounding spiritual energy.
This time, the phenomenon triggered by his breakthrough began to spread throughout the entire Heavenly Dragon Sect.
Everyone had already grown accustomed to such disturbances. Compared to his performance in the Myriad Race Ceremony, this was nothing.
One day later, Hua Haosheng received his punishment from the Law-Enforcement Hall—one year of hard labor in the mines, taking effect immediately.
As for the disciples who had taken part in the Moon Tribulation Incineration Array, every single one of them received hefty rewards.
In addition to astral stones, they obtained other prizes, as well as a trove of points they could use to exchange for rewards at any time.
Liu Wuxie’s name began to spread among the sect’s true disciples.
……
When the Grand Unity Sect’s warship returned, a heavy silence greeted it as a few hundred disciples disembarked from the vessel. Four thousand disciples had gone to participate in the Myriad Race Ceremony, and less than one in ten came back alive.
Liu Wuxie’s name likewise spread throughout the Grand Unity Sect like wildfire. Those who had died were the sect’s elite disciples, and many of them were descendants of its upper echelons.
The Grand Unity Sect rang their emergency bell—a signal used only when the sect faced a life-and-death crisis. Upon hearing the bell, countless Earth Immortal Realm cultivators rushed toward the main hall, and a council of unprecedented scale convened to discuss how they could get rid of Liu Wuxie.
……
All of that unfolded without Liu Wuxie’s knowledge.
When the gateway to the fourth-level Primal Origin Realm shattered, the gate broke apart and dissolved into countless laws that scattered through the desolate world.
Stepping into the fourth-level Primal Origin Realm meant he had entered the intermediate phase of the Primal Origin Realm, and his combat strength rose sharply.
After an entire day, Liu Wuxie finished digesting all his harvests from the Myriad Race Ceremony. Thousands of new sequences appeared in the Heavenly Dao Book, and the book grew noticeably thicker.
Now, it contained the laws of the faceless clan, the oceanic clans, the ghost clan, and many more, with each page recording a race.
Next, Liu Wuxie began to consolidate his cultivation and consumed hundreds of thousands of Pure Yang Pills, causing the desolate world to roar under the torrent of energy.
The yin-yang laws circulated like two yin and yang fishes chasing each other’s tails, followed by the five elements shuttling through the depths of the desolate world.
The aura Liu Wuxie released continued to climb higher, and even ordinary cultivators at the Void Realm could no longer approach his courtyard.
With one day left to the three-day deadline, Liu Wuxie walked out of his seclusion. He had no time to comprehend his mythical arts now and would return to them after he stepped onto the Astral Domain Path.
Rending space apart, Liu Wuxie emerged in the middle of the mountain range.
A’Lei and the others had not been idle over the past few days and had devoted their time to cultivating.
The giants’ bodies had grown even stronger and more intimidating than before, with more true essence accumulated in their dantian.
As for Vanya, she focused on her magic, and her spells had become sharper, more elusive, and deadlier than before. With her current strength, even cultivators at the third level of the Void Realm were probably her match.
When they saw Liu Wuxie, the three immediately halted their practice.
“I’ll be taking you three elsewhere, but any rules won’t bind you as it’s my turf,” Liu Wuxie said. After all, leaving them in the Heavenly Dragon Sect was not a long-term solution. They were not disciples of the sect, so their movements would always remain restricted.
Just yesterday, Liu Wuxie had sent He Yingwu a message instructing him to construct several massive buildings, not inside Mount Dragon City but out in the mountain range.
“Big Brother Liu, where are we going?” Vanya asked curiously.
“You’ll know when we get there,” Liu Wuxie said. He cast the Great Spatial Mythical Art and vanished from the Heavenly Dragon Sect with the three, traveling directly toward Mount Dragon City. Since the giants were far too conspicuous on the streets, he arrived with them first in a mountain range outside the city.
As for Vanya, he brought her into the city and headed toward Old Blindie’s residence.
When Xiao Luo saw her master, she burst into tears and threw herself into his embrace. It had been months since their last meeting, and Xiao Luo had grown even more breathtakingly beautiful, like a lotus rising from clear water.
Upon seeing Vanya, Xiao Luo stared curiously at her, as this was her first time seeing someone from the elven race.
“Master, this is…?” Xiao Luo asked, wiping her tears away in embarrassment.
“Her name is Vanya, and she’s the elven race’s saintess,” Liu Wuxie said, introducing them to each other.
“Hello! Nice to meet you, I’m Vanya,” Vanya said, offering her right hand out warmly.
Xiao Luo quickly took her hand and replied, “I’m Xiao Luo.”
After their brief introduction, Vanya looked around in open curiosity, as this was her first time venturing into the human world.
“Xiao Luo, this is a present for you,” Liu Wuxie said, taking out the longsword he had forged for Xiao Luo.
Over the span of four short months, Xiao Luo’s cultivation had skyrocketed to the high levels of the Origin Conversion Realm, displaying a terrifying rate of breakthrough.
“Thank you, Master!” Xiao Luo kept the sword happily.
“Master, what is this sword called?” She asked, caressing the sword gently. Faint dragon roars echoed from the blade, and its workmanship was superb.
“The Scarlet Firmament Sword,” Liu Wuxie said after a brief moment of pondering. The forging of this sword used the Scarlet Firmament Stone as the primary material, and the name suited the sword perfectly.
“I’ll go refine it now,” Xiao Luo said. The Scarlet Firmament Sword had no owner yet, and she had to refine it by leaving her imprint within it.
With that, only Liu Wuxie and Vanya remained in the courtyard, and a faint, awkward atmosphere settled between them.
“Big Brother Liu, you treat Xiao Luo so well,” Vanya said, a trace of loneliness coloring her tone. Ever since they had met, she had yet to receive a gift from Liu Wuxie.
“This is for you,” Liu Wuxie said, handing over a booklet.
“What is this?” Vanya asked.
“I have written several magic spells in it, and you can study them when you’re free,” Liu Wuxie said. He had compiled these magic spells into a booklet long ago, but until now, he had never passed it to Vanya.
“Thank you, Big Brother Liu!” Vanya said, thrilled. She ran over and pecked Liu Wuxie’s left cheek.
Liu Wuxie froze at the unexpected peck, and by the time he reacted, Vanya had already run off to study the booklet. Unlike humans, the elven race would always be straightforward upon falling for someone, and women would do most of the courting. Their boldness was perfectly normal among the elven race.
Liu Wuxie could only let out a bitter smile. How could he possibly fail to see that Vanya had feelings for him?
Right at this moment, the gate swung open as Old Blindie and He Yingwu stepped inside. When they heard that Liu Wuxie had returned to Mount Dragon City, the two dropped everything they were doing and rushed back immediately.
Old Blindie had changed into an entirely new man. The pitch-black hollows in his eyes were gone. He looked even younger, his vigor restored, and a pair of eyes now sat in his sockets, shining brightly.
“An elf!” Old Blindie exclaimed in shock at the sight of Vanya.
After more introductions, He Yingwu pulled Liu Wuxie into a hug. When they entered a room, Old Blindie took out a stack of documents they had spent months gathering.
Liu Wuxie waved his hand, and the documents began flipping on their own as he absorbed all the information into his soul sea in mere minutes.
“Good. You two have done a great job in the past few months, but we’ll have even more to do next,” he said. He felt satisfied with the documents they had gathered, and he knew this information would prove critical for their upcoming development.
“Wuxie, what’s your next plan?” He Yingwu asked excitedly.
“No hurry. I’ll be returning to the True Martial Continent tomorrow, and it might take some time for me to return. In the meantime, buy up as many shops in the city as you can,” Liu Wuxie said.
Upon hearing that Liu Wuxie would return to the True Martial Continent, He Yingwu shot to his feet in excitement. Tears slid down his cheeks; he had waited far too long for this day.
“Finally… this day has finally come…” He Yingwu muttered with a trembling voice.
“Take these,” Liu Wuxie said, passing a few interspatial rings to Old Blindie and He Yingwu. He knew that the initial development of the Heavenly Dao Society would require immense resources. “Advance in your breakthrough as fast as you can. How is the fortress doing?”
“The construction has already begun, but there are some troubles. As the fortress is built close to Mount Dragon City, many clans are obstructing us,” Old Blindie said, receiving the interspatial rings without any formality. After all, everyone already knew about Liu Wuxie’s performance in the Myriad Race Ceremony.
“I’ll speak to the Heavenly Dragon Sect when I get back and let them coordinate it,” Liu Wuxie said, planning to make use of the Heavenly Dragon Sect’s influence.
They had to establish the fortress quickly. The relocation would soon bring the members of the Heavenly Dao Society to the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain, and they needed a residence to stay in.
The courtyard had already fallen into ruins, and if they were to rebuild it, they would expose their identities.
With sufficient resources and the Heavenly Dragon Sect’s support, however, it would not take long before a massive fortress rose there, one capable of housing both humans and giants.
Having made all the arrangements, He Yingwu brought Liu Wuxie and Vanya to the construction site, located miles away from the Heavenly Dragon Sect and about five thousand miles away from Mount Dragon City.
Cultivators at the Void Realm could cross fifty thousand miles in mere hours. With the Great Spatial Mythical Art, Liu Wuxie could cover that distance in two hours, and he could later plan to have teleportation arrays built to connect the fortress with the major cities.
When they saw A’Lei and A’Li, He Yingwu stood there dumbfounded. He had never seen such large “humans” before in his life.
“A’Lei, A’Li, you two assist He Yingwu in building this fortress,” Liu Wuxie said. The giants were pure of heart. He only needed to tell them what to do.
“Leave it to us and don’t worry about it,” A’Lei said, patting his chest. Building had always been the giant clan’s forte, and their stature made them ideal builders.
The group scouted the mountain range and cleared away the threats in the surrounding area.
Since A’Lei and A’Li were going to stay in the mountain range, Liu Wuxie left behind hefty resources for them to cultivate. He even pointed out the flaws in their physiques, providing enough guidance for them to ponder over for the time being.
Liu Wuxie returned to the Heavenly Dragon Sect at night. He would go back to the True Martial Continent tomorrow, and he still had some preparations to complete.
