Chapter 1999 – Utter Confusion

Lu Yun had lacked a proper personal treasure up to this point. He owned the Tome of Life and Death, oh yes, but it wasn’t his treasure. It was his nascent spirit and part of him after it assimilated into his body.

The Imperial Seal had been his ultimate treasure in the previous loops of the Land of Reincarnation. He’d left backup plans in the seal and added his will to it after he journeyed through thirty-three loops. The will was branded into the treasure with power from the Tome of Life and Death. It was impossible for Yun Yi to detect it—of that he was certain.

He’d also stored the Imperial Seal in the inner world of the Tome of Life and Death for a while, wanting to make it wholly his. Lu Yun employed the book to refine the seal, but hadn’t been able to complete the task.

And here the Imperial Seal was in his hands again.

“Yun Yi mentioned something else before her death,” Qiu Feishan suddenly said. “This plot became yours the moment the heavenly emperor became an akasha ghost.

“She deduced early on that Shu Yan couldn’t kill you and that the divine spirit of the organs would fail to possess you. She doesn’t know what your trump card is, but someone who can end the loops of reincarnation is not a person that a mere Shu Yan can measure up to.

“And that is all I have to say, so I hereby take my leave.” Her body drifted apart like foam on a water’s surface.

Daoist Ingress looked at Lu Yun. Wayfarer and the others looked at the young man as well.

“Man,” Lu Yun sighed explosively. “Do you guys believe that Yun Yi’s dead?”

Daoist Ingress shook his head blankly. “But she really is dead. The last traces of her life force have scattered. It would take a reset of this part of existence for her to be reborn.”

Resetting existence was the notion of enveloping the plane with nonexistence, turning everything into nothing and starting anew. Just like the great devastation in the Land of Reincarnation, all things were wiped away and began from the very beginning.

But that also meant everything would be destroyed and start afresh. It was a meaningless course of action to Yun Yi.

“Then she’s dead,” Daoist Ingress shrugged. “It’s not like we have much of a relationship with her. It’s just a humbling line of thought of what could possibly compel a being like her to willingly go to her death. In our eyes, she could absolutely be the fourth empyrean supreme of the chief worlds with her potential and abilities.”

Lu Yun looked down at the Imperial Seal in his hands, not saying a word.

“Well then, we are off on our hunt.” Wayfarer raised cupped fists at Lu Yun and Daoist Ingress before the five of them vanished on the spot, seeking out the other divine spirits of the organs.

Quiet flooded into the area. There was only Lu Yun and Daoist Ingress left.

“What are your plans now?” the young man asked.

“I don’t want to do anything at all.” Daoist Ingress lifted a corner of his lips. “I hate the feeling of being led by the nose.”

His usual decisive and ruthless air was nowhere to be found—he didn’t know what his next step should be. He’d planned on fighting with Lu Yun to destroy the divine spirit in the Jade Record of Creation and prevent its manifestation.

But for some reason, he now felt that this compulsion was the result of Yun Yi invading his thoughts.

“As they say, sometimes letting things proceed naturally leads to the greatest outcome. Dao is to be what it is.” Lu Yun smiled. “Do whatever you’d like. Yun Yi is dead, anyhow. Since we can’t fight it, let’s try to enjoy it.”

Daoist Ingress’ mentality was on a higher plane than Lu Yun’s, but the young man’s manner of thinking was different from his. He was a modern man, after all, so he could accept this difficult-to-swallow pill after a while. Since they’d reached this point, they might as well take things as they came and try to find pleasure in the situation.

“I’m rather curious what the spirit entity in the Jade Record of Creation is. If my guess is correct, the treasure was polluted by it.” Lu Yun stroked his chin thoughtfully.

The battle aboveground had reached its peak; peak grand supremes were dying one after another in the face of concerted attacks from the terrifying chaos puppets. The black ground was dyed scarlet with fresh blood. Rivulets of blood gathered together to form a tiny bloody swamp.

The Jade Record of Creation didn’t absorb it. A stark-white hue had enveloped it and cut off its connection to the outside world. Apart from that, the supremes that Lu Yun kept outside this world suddenly made their way in through an unknown entrance!

A middle-aged man with his face devoid of color leered, shouting garbled nonsense as he waved a grayish-yellow cloth bag in his hands.

Jiang Chen!

He’d come to the tomb of the empyreans supreme as well and surrounded the major world with the Great Formation of Corpse Refinement! All of a sudden, the one hundred peak grand supremes had to both fend off endless chaos dirt puppets and defend themselves against the formation.

Unable to handle the load of being beset on both sides, they incurred heavy casualties. However, the supremes were the ones that suffered the most. They could withstand the Great Formation of Corpse Refinement, but they couldn’t put up a fight against the chaos dirt puppets.

Jiang Chen’s formation immediately refined them when they died and turned them into zombies, enhancing the formation’s power. He was just a supreme, but his formation was perfectly set up. It bolstered his Bag of Corpse Refinement and propelled his battle strength to the level of a peak grand supreme.

Although he stood on top of the Jade Record of Creation, the chaos dirt puppets couldn’t do anything to him. In fact, Lu Yun picked out that they were on the verge of becoming part of the formation as well!

Jiang Chen seemed to reign triumphant and everything was under his control in this world.

The four in the Jade Record of Creation had stopped fighting. They stared fearfully at the one standing on top of the treasure. The Disordered Supreme tried a maddened dash out, but the treasure had been sealed away.

“So what if you scheme and calculate through all these eons and devote so much effort and energy to crafting your plots? The final victor is me!” Jiang Chen brayed with laughter as a slender figure appeared next to him—the corpse god, once the dao partner of Mount Tai.

These days, they only appeared to be onwardly harmonious. In reality, they used each other for their own gains. The mountain god even felt like he’d been cheated on. When had his former beloved fallen in line with Jiang Chen?

The corpse god could become what she was solely thanks to him.

“God of Mount Tai, Lu Yun wants to use your incomplete hell dao to recreate the Land of Reincarnation. If I kill you now, the Land of Reincarnation will be forever gone.” The corpse god flashed a supercilious smile at the mountain god in the Jade Record of Creation.

Everything was in complete and utter shambles. The Jade Record of Creation was in disarray, the chaos dirt puppets milled around, the peak grand supremes flailed wildly.

But behind all this was a Jiang Chen in control of everything—he was the reason for the current confusion. No one had fathomed that a mere supreme, one not even a peak grand supreme, could raise such waves.

In contrast to the supremes that died in this major world, peak grand supremes that perished didn’t become zombies. They were melted into the Great Formation of Corpse Refinement. Their flesh, blood, soul, and true spirit were all absorbed by the bag for other refinement purposes.

A dozen peak grand supremes had already died; untold numbers of supremes also turned into lifeless bodies that were reanimated as zombies. They were all lofty individuals that others curried favor with in the chief worlds. Now they were like a group of ants, free for Jiang Chen to manipulate as he would.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from NovelFull.com.

When Lu Yun and Daoist Ingress rushed out from the ground, rivers of blood ran through the surface. Chen Xiao, Qing Buyi, and Tailong were clinging onto their lives thanks to fighting together. However, fresh wounds crisscrossed their bodies and they were a far cry from their usual selves.

Hummmm.

An enormous ray of sword qi manifested as soon as Daoist Ingress landed, hacking down at the Jade Record of Creation. His goal wasn’t Jiang Chen on top of the treasure, but the treasure itself.
