Chapter 357 Great Merit, Decree from an Immortal Lord
Chapter 357 Great Merit, Decree from an Immortal Lord
Golden rain that enveloped the whole world persisted for an entire ancient hour before it ceased and all creatures awakened.
Meng Lang's divine thoughts swept across the area and discovered that the Supreme Sect's disciples' cultivation levels had all increased. However, the extent of growth varied, possibly relating to their innate talents. The one with the most significant increase in cultivation had merely broken through a minor realm, not enough to trigger a breakthrough in a major realm.
He patted the groggy Blood Prison Great Saint, then turned and walked towards the loft buildings.
Along the way, he continually cast life span detection towards his disciples and found that after the baptism of the golden rain, their maximum life spans had increased as well; some by only a year or two, others by several decades, though he saw no one whose life span increased by more than a century.
Even without anyone gaining a century of life span, it was still remarkable, considering the Communal Spirit of Great Heavenly Spirit Land were countless in number. What an immense act of merit!
Meng Lang couldn't help but admire the Dao Void Mysterious Immortal while simultaneously puzzled about how he managed to achieve this.
Meng Lang directed his divine thoughts towards the Immortal Dynasty and felt its Qi Fortune plummet dangerously.
Could it be that the Dao Void Mysterious Immortal had managed to accomplish this by borrowing the Immortal Dynasty's Qi Fortune?
Wouldn't such an act leave them vulnerable to the Holy Court taking advantage?
Meng Lang was secretly astonished. Soon after, he felt the Qi Fortune of the Immortal Dynasty surge enormously, surpassing its previous levels in a very short time.
Light from Outer Heaven followed, showering down golden radiance upon the Immortal Dynasty, forming a massive and magnificent rainbow in the sky.
Meng Lang could sense a particular force within that golden radiance—it was like the Heaven and Earth Rules, yet there was something unique about it, it felt more like Qi Fortune.
Qi Fortune is utterly mysterious; those with strong Qi Fortune often enjoy good luck, while those with weak Qi Fortune may encounter disasters even in their daily walk, or easily run into inner demons during cultivation.
Today, Meng Lang had truly broadened his horizons.
Even as a divine thought True Immortal, he could not see through the techniques displayed by Dao Void Mysterious Immortal, who had lived for thirty million years.
What a pity that such a person had perished, for Meng Lang lost the chance to make his acquaintance.
"Master, what just happened? I only remember Dao Void Mysterious Immortal's words, and then it seemed I fell asleep..." Blood Prison Great Saint caught up and anxiously asked.
"You just need to know that this was indeed a blessing." Meng Lang replied.
Blood Prison Great Saint understood that his master did not wish to elaborate further.
With his master's Dao Level, he surely knew what was going on.
He committed the names Immortal Dynasty and Dao Void Mysterious Immortal to memory.
When Meng Lang arrived in front of the lofts, the disciples who were inside walked out one by one, gathering together to discuss the recent event.
Shen Xinzi and a few Great Cultivators were surrounded by the others, but unfortunately, they were also unclear about what had actually taken place.
Long Qing was shouting excitedly, causing Meng Lang to shake his head and smile wryly.
"This indeed was a massive opportunity. The Heavenly Dao has noticed it and will surely boost the Immortal Dynasty's Qi Fortune. When that happens, the Immortal Spirits of the Immortal Dynasty will find it easier to comprehend the nature of heaven and earth during their cultivation. The Immortal Dynasty is quite extraordinary and is full of ambition."
Ji Xiaoyu approached Meng Lang and murmured thoughtfully.
Meng Lang, driven by curiosity, asked, "Then in your opinion, wouldn't the Immortal Dynasty become stronger than the Holy Court? Does the Holy Court have anyone who can achieve such a feat?"
"It's hard to say, but as the saying goes, 'Two tigers cannot share one mountain.' It's likely that a conflict will break out between them. As for whether the Holy Court has someone capable of this, even if it does, it's doubtful anyone would be willing. The higher the cultivation, the more tenacious the individual. Who would want to give up their Dao Level to benefit all creatures?" Ji Xiaoyu shook her head.
The Immortal Dynasty had clearly stated this point, making it known to all creatures their sacrifice and hinting at how the Holy Court should act. It would be difficult for the Holy Court to do the same without seeming to fall short by comparison.
Divine thought True Immortals!
Those were beings comparable to Holy Ministers; such existences would not be coerced, nor would they willingly self-destruct.
Meng Lang also internally marveled at the Immortal Dynasty's overt scheming.
However, the battle between the two would ultimately depend on their own strength. The Immortal Dynasty's blessings to all beings, as generous as they were, could not be quickly converted into combat power for the Immortal Dynasty.
Ji Xiaoyu looked up at the sky, her eyes sparkling, and she said in a special tone, "There's going to be great chaos in this world!"
Meng Lang could hear a hint of excitement in her voice.
She seemed to be looking forward to the turmoil.
Meng Lang followed her gaze into the sky. Dao Void Mysterious Immortal's physical body had turned into a huge qi-shaped vortex, toward which the lonely spirits and Wild Ghosts of the world were flying.
The Reincarnation Vortex!
Many Holy Court Cultivators appeared beside the Reincarnation Vortex; they didn't destroy it but simply stood guard around it.
Ji Xiaoyu didn't linger long to chat with Meng Lang, quickly returning to her abode; she couldn't wait to cultivate and grow stronger.
Meng Lang joined the crowd of disciples, sharing in their awe and discussion.
Shen Xinzi left the group and stood alone under a tree, looking up at the sky and calculating with his fingers, his expression complex as he muttered to himself, "The heaven's will has become murky; what on earth is going to happen next?"
In the days that followed, the discussions around the Immortal Dynasty and Dao Void Mysterious Immortal did not subside. Meng Lang even saw the citizens throughout Taicang Continent starting to build monuments and viewing platforms in honor of Dao Void Mysterious Immortal.
The golden rain had granted many Mortal Spirits the opportunity for Immortal Cultivation, and many chronically ill mortals were healed. It was a jubilation for the whole world.
Five days later.
Meng Lang visited Immortal Seeking Island alone.
Island Master Xun Hanfeng, Hu Xiaojian, and the Elders gathered to meet him. More than twenty people were assembled in the hall, eager to recount the blessings from five days prior.
Meng Lang sat in his chair, watching their excited expressions, and felt even more profoundly the boundless merit of Dao Void Mysterious Immortal.
It wasn't just Mortal Spirits who were grateful to Dao Void Mysterious Immortal; even beings of the Immortal Path also appreciated him.
The creatures didn't care what motives Dao Void Mysterious Immortal had; having received kindness and benefits, they naturally felt thankful.
After listening for a while and confirming that nothing had gone amiss on Immortal Seeking Island, Meng Lang was relieved. He briefly spoke a few words and then took Hu Xiaojian and left.
He would always roam around Immortal Seeking Island whenever he visited, and Hu Xiaojian would accompany him.
After leaving the Island Master's residence, Hu Xiaojian brought up the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Meng Lang had allowed Immortal Seeking Island to also start selling his books, and the effect was surprisingly good. Once released, Romance of the Three Kingdoms was greatly loved by many Cultivators.
Before Dao Void Mysterious Immortal's blessing, Romance of the Three Kingdoms was the most talked about topic on the island.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms on Immortal Seeking Island had only reached the point in the story where Lv Meng crossed the river in white clothing, and Guan Yu met his demise, which infuriated many Cultivators.
After Hu Xiaojian finished discussing the profits from Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he couldn't help but inquire about the upcoming plot, but alas, Meng Lang refused to divulge it, so he could only give up.
As they walked, Meng Lang suddenly spotted someone and immediately cast a Life Span Detection spell towards the individual.
[Imperial Edict Immortal Lord (Dao Void Mysterious Immortal Realm Third Layer): 3653007/4500000/11000000]
Dao Void Mysterious Immortal!
And he was even imbued with the Immortal Dynasty's Qi Fortune!
Meng Lang inwardly marveled; it used to be difficult to encounter spirits of the Immortal Dynasty, but now it seemed they could be met everywhere.
Dao Void Mysterious Immortals were a rare sight!
Meng Lang watched as the figure approached him directly.
The Imperial Edict Immortal Lord, clad in a deep purple robe, held one hand behind his waist, his long hair secured beneath a Green Jade Crown, his countenance full of authority, his gaze even more so oppressively piercing.
He came to a halt in front of Meng Lang and spoke, "Might you be the Island Master Meng Lang?"
