Chapter 1902: No Need For Dao Palaces

It was widely known that Lu Yun carried deep and expansive potential. He’d created formula dao, immortal dao, seized the world of sequence from the powerhouses of the chief worlds, and ended the Land of Reincarnation. Any one of these acts by themselves would be a miracle that could not be fathomed by ordinary people.

Given enough time to grow, Lu Yun would certainly become one of the greatest titans in the outside realm.

But now, all thought of that glorious future screeched to a halt with Lu Yun exceeding sequence at thirty levels. Luo Ming stared dumbfounded at him, unable to believe what he was seeing.

……

“Throw a tantrum? Why would I need to throw a tantrum?” Lu Yun didn’t understand the question. Since the Tome of Life and Death had fully melded with him, the various great daos of existence and boundless order were fully laid out before his eyes.

Likewise, his future was right in front of him.

He could even freely enter secret zones that only sequence cultivators could access—such as the Dark Worlds—because he lacked a dao palace. These secret zones turned out not to refuse supremes, but the dao palaces that they’d crafted.

However, Luo Qian and Luo Ming were unaware of Lu Yun’s condition. From their perspective, Lu Yun had ruined himself to protest against his confinement. Luo Ming truly regretted his actions. If he’d known that Lu Yun would go to such lengths, he never would’ve grounded the young man or threatened the World of Immortals to force him to stay.

“Hmph!” Luo Ming snorted coldly and left. He had no idea what was the point of staying here anymore. His harsh words and detached attitude were now flustered exasperation.

“You… ai!” Luo Qian gently shook her head. “Make… make the best out of what you have, I guess.”

She departed as well.

Whether it was Luo Qian or Luo Ming, both felt that there was no more value to Lu Yun. Their previous positions regarding him were a function of their personalities. Luo Qian sided with him as she would a precious young master and Luo Ming protected him so thoroughly that he locked Lu Yun away until Lu Feng returned.

But Lu Yun was now completely worthless. While Lu Feng might be furious when he returned from the tomb of the empyrean supreme, he wouldn’t do anything to Luo Ming. On the other hand, Lu Yun would probably live out the rest of his days treated as a pig or pet.

The young man blinked as he registered their change in attitude, then understood what was going on.

“Bunch of shortsighted fools. So there is no future after exceeding sequence at thirty levels?” Lu Yun noticed that the restriction around the secret chamber was gone. Luo Ming plainly couldn’t be bothered with him anymore.

It wasn’t only Luo Ming, but all those who bore enormous hostility for Lu Yun or wanted formula dao would also come for him no longer. Exceeding sequence without crafting a dao palace meant being completely crippled in the chief worlds.

He was trash now.

“In that case…” A grin played on Lu Yun’s lips and he contacted the spirit paper of the World of Immortals, announcing his ascension through the publication.

An uproar engulfed the realm and the chief worlds shook even more so. Even those uninvolved with the situation were waiting for Lu Yun’s rise. They wanted to see what heights he’d reach. But to think that he’d cripple himself and completely extinguish his own hope!

While the World of Immortals also collectively gasped at the development, its denizens quickly moved on. They didn’t have a deep understanding of supremes and dao palaces. On the other hand, they were used to Lu Yun creating miracles. From the broken path of immortality to the Hongmeng Tower bestowing titles, Lu Yun always blazed a new trail and punched through dead ends.

His feats were recorded in ancient epics and history books; they were required study in the Dao Academy and Formula Academies. There were no naturally paved roads in the world. Roads formed when people walked the same path often enough. Such was a quote from a famous personage on Earth.

In the same vein, there were no dead ends in the world. A dead end was an open path so long as one was brave enough to break new ground.

Thus, the denizens of the World of Immortals didn’t care that Lu Yun had set foot onto a dead end. Subconsciously, they felt that Lu Yun had done so to hew a new path for the cultivators who lacked sufficient strength to forge a dao palace. And indeed, he did have the intention to do so. He even had an inkling of some ideas.

…….

Lu Yun opened his arms wide after walking out of the Wind and Cloud Pagoda and took a deep breath of fresh air. Vast power of heaven and earth surged into his body and all of its rules, laws, and orders were clear to his eyes.

This world was as if an expansive ocean. Sequence cultivators were fish in the sea—fish could not leave the waters. Supremes were divine dragons that could dive into the deep or soar above the clouds. Dao palaces were the crutch by which they could do so. Without their dao palace, they were as good as crippled.

Lu Yun was different in that he could dive and soar through his own strength alone. There was nothing that he could not do.

“Honestly, there’s no need for immortals to forge a dao palace.” After making some careful calculations, Lu Yun realized that he wouldn’t have needed to forge a dao palace even without the Tome of Life and Death as his nascent spirit.

Since he’d modified the foundations of immortal dao, training the nascent spirit through the nascent spirit observation method and physical body through body tempering, that made a cultivator’s nascent spirit so strong that they could observe any existence. They could even project dao palaces!f𝗿e𝗲𝘄𝚎𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫ℯl. c𝗼𝚖

It would seem that one of his moves early on had played perfectly into his plans today.

However, there were still advantages to be found for dao palaces. For example, the Nebula Supreme had used his to break through the barrier around the Land of Reincarnation and invade it.

Some other questions also occurred to Lu Yun. There were many locales in the chief worlds that rejected dao palaces—was it possible that chief world cultivators of the past didn’t forge dao palaces? That something had happened to force a change in cultivation method?

Lu Yun drifted to a random spot, lost in thought. He concentrated on deriving the particulars behind forging dao palaces and its differences from nascent spirit cultivation. There… didn’t seem to be notable differences between the two.

The only major distinction was that the nascent spirits of those with dao palaces were much weaker than those of contemporary immortals.

“There are no real supremes under immortal dao yet, particularly after I rebuilt its foundations. No one other than me has reached those heights.” Lu Yun licked his lips, a smile playing on them. “Then from now on, immortal dao cultivators no longer need to continue cultivating after they reach thirty levels of sequence. They can choose to immediately break through if they wish!”

He conveyed this message to the immortal dao, which instantly disseminated it to all of its beings.

Nascent spirit cultivation!

Dao palace cultivation!

The existence of dao palaces was to mend the flaws of the nascent spirit! If one’s nascent spirit was strong enough, there was no need for a dao palace!
