Chapter 388: Heading to the Void Island
Someone had successfully transcended their tribulation and ascended to the Immortal King realm, and Lan Xiaobu was equally thrilled.
After setting up the protective boundary array, it was indeed possible to advance to the Immortal King realm.
This indicated that the natural laws of the Five Realms Immortal World were gradually repairing themselves.
Perhaps one day, without his active intervention, the Five Realms Immortal World could fully restore itself to a complete immortal domain.
The only regret was that he only had three top-grade immortal spirit veins.
Although all three had been deployed, he was still missing top-grade immortal spirit veins of the water and metal attributes.
Despite the lack of these two attributes, Lan Xiaobu believed that the protective boundary array of the Five Realms Immortal World was already at its peak as a ninth-grade immortal array.
It wasn’t that his array skills were extraordinary, but because, in addition to the three top-grade immortal spirit veins, he had also used the Life and Death Cauldron as the core of the array.
Anyone attempting to breach the protective array of the Five Realms Immortal World would be trapped and refined by the Life and Death Cauldron.
"Congratulations, Five Realms King, for setting up the protective boundary array for the Five Realms Immortal World," Mou Yichen hurriedly congratulated as soon as Lan Xiaobu appeared at the gates of Mu Bei Great Immortal City.
His tone was even more humble than before.
An immortal domain with a protective boundary array was entirely different from one without.
Moreover, this protective boundary array had been personally set up by Lan Xiaobu.
If Lan Xiaobu wanted to deal with Mou Yichen now, even without an Immortal Emperor intervening, Mou Yichen would likely be suppressed.
Such was the might of the protective boundary array.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Mou, for waiting for me in the Five Realms Immortal World for several years. I have one more matter to attend to, and once it's resolved, I will immediately accompany you to the Void Stone," Lan Xiaobu said with a cheerful mood, now that the protective boundary array was in place, and the issues of ice transformation and nightmare demons in the Five Realms Immortal World had been resolved.
"Gu Feihe, go and investigate a former immortal manor called the Yan Clan Manor from before the fusion of the Great Desolate Universe. After the fusion of the Five Realms Immortal World, find out where the Yan Clan Manor is located and inform me. The manor lord of the Yan Clan Manor is named Yan Chengjian. The most important thing is to find out his current whereabouts," Lan Xiaobu decided to obtain the Yang Cauldron of the Soul Refining Cauldron before heading to the Chaos Secret Realm.
Before Gu Feihe could respond, Tong Yusha quickly interjected, "Immortal Lord, I know about the Yan Clan Manor."
"Oh? Where is it?" Lan Xiaobu was delighted and immediately asked.
Tong Yusha explained, "I know about the Yan Clan Manor because they possess a top-tier treasure called the Soul Refining Cauldron."
Lan Xiaobu was taken aback.
Did everyone know about the Soul Refining Cauldron? Would there still be a share for him?
Tong Yusha continued, "After the fusion of the Five Realms Immortal World, Yan Chengjian, the manor lord of the Yan Clan Manor, found the ruins of the manor and unearthed the Soul Refining Cauldron. However, Qiao Aomu learned of this and killed Yan Chengjian, taking the Soul Refining Cauldron for himself."
"Qiao Aomu?" Lan Xiaobu asked, "Is that the one who cultivated at an astonishing speed and became a disciple of Immortal Emperor Qian Qiong from the Weixing Immortal Domain?"
Tong Yusha nodded, "Yes, that's him. He has already left the Five Realms Immortal World. If he has been following Qian Qiong, he should now be in the Weixing Immortal Domain."
"Yan Huan," Lan Xiaobu called out.
Yan Huan quickly stepped forward, "Yan Huan is here."
Lan Xiaobu said, "I will soon be leaving the Five Realms Immortal World with Palace Master Gong. You will take my place and oversee the Five Realms Immortal World. Here is the array flag for the protective boundary array. You can control the grand array of the Five Realms Immortal World. Jing Maoting, Tong Yusha, Gu Feihe, Huo Lan, Sha Yunshao, Hou Xuancheng, and Kong Zhengxing, you all must assist Yan Huan to the best of your abilities. Do not fail."
After handing the array flag to Yan Huan, Lan Xiaobu was confident that Yan Huan, being the most upright and capable, would not let him down.
With her strength, she was the most suitable to oversee the Five Realms Immortal Court.
"Yes!" Everyone stepped forward and bowed in acknowledgment.
The Five Realms Immortal World was no longer what it used to be.
With the protective boundary array in place, it was no longer a place where anyone could come and go as they pleased.
They also knew where Lan Xiaobu was heading—the Void Island, to participate in the Chaos Secret Realm and prepare for the impending immortal world calamity.
This was a matter of survival for the Five Realms Immortal World.
Seeing that all the Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings had received their instructions, Qiao Xing sighed.
Fortunately, the Five Realms Immortal World now had a protective boundary array and seemed to be gathering immortal world fortune.
As long as he continued to work hard, perhaps one day he could step into the Immortal Venerable realm.
Just as Qiao Xing was lost in thought, Lan Xiaobu suddenly called out, "Qiao Xing, this Chaos Secret Realm only allows Immortal Kings to enter. Are you interested in accompanying me to the Chaos Secret Realm?"
Qiao Xing was stunned, then overjoyed, and loudly replied, "Qiao Xing is willing to serve the Immortal Lord with his life."
He hadn't expected Lan Xiaobu to take him along to leave the Five Realms Immortal World and participate in the Chaos Secret Realm.
Lan Xiaobu, however, said, "Qiao Xing, it's not about serving me, but about serving the Five Realms Immortal World. This journey is fraught with peril, as all participants in the secret realm will be at the Immortal King level, and most will likely be at the peak of the Immortal King realm. Moreover, this secret realm is related to the survival of various immortal domains, so it will be extremely dangerous. If you encounter strong opponents, there will be no room for mercy. Even if you offer all your possessions, they might still kill you. Are you still willing to go with me?"
"I am willing," Qiao Xing replied without hesitation.
Without the Five Realms King, who knew what state the Five Realms Immortal World would be in?
In such a short time, the Five Realms King had resolved so many issues, and even the nightmare demons no longer ravaged the Five Realms Immortal World.
Giving his life for the Five Realms Immortal World was nothing.
"Good, then we leave immediately," Lan Xiaobu said.
Technically, the Five Realms Immortal World had ten slots, and Lan Xiaobu could have taken more Immortal Kings.
However, Lan Xiaobu knew that taking more Immortal Kings would only mean sending them to their deaths.
The Immortal Kings of the Five Realms Immortal World were clearly weaker, with none at the peak of the Immortal King realm, and only Hou Xuancheng at the late Immortal King stage.
There were already few Immortal Kings here, so why send more to their deaths? As for why he took Qiao Xing, it was because Qiao Xing had a unique skill—stealth.
Back in the Bone Wasteland, neither he nor Gong Yunqi had detected Qiao Xing, which spoke volumes about his stealth abilities.
...
Once they left the Five Realms Immortal World, Mou Yichen summoned his flying treasure.
"Five Realms King, Fellow Daoist Gong, Fellow Daoist Qiao, please board my flying treasure. It is extremely suitable for void travel."
It was a top-grade immortal flying shuttle, undoubtedly one of the best flying treasures in the immortal world.
Lan Xiaobu, however, waved his hand.
"No need. We'll use my flying treasure. However, I will need Fellow Daoist Mou to guide us through the void."
Mou Yichen was taken aback.
Did Lan Xiaobu not trust him? He inwardly sighed.
With the Five Realms King capable of setting up a protective boundary array and having Gong Yunqi by his side, what could he possibly do even if they were on his flying treasure? Besides, the Chaos Secret Realm on the Void Island required Lan Xiaobu's registration.
Despite feeling somewhat uncomfortable and knowing that using Lan Xiaobu's flying treasure would prolong their journey to the Qingfang Immortal Domain, he still said, "Very well. Although I don't have a void方位球, I do have a方位玉简 for the Qingfang Immortal Domain. As long as we follow the方位玉简, we can reach the Qingfang Immortal Domain. Once there, I have a方位球 for the Void Island."
With that, Mou Yichen took out a方位玉简 and handed it to Lan Xiaobu.
Lan Xiaobu summoned the Wind Raptor, a flying treasure with two wings, before everyone.
Without needing to be called, Gong Yunqi was the first to board the flying treasure and claimed a room.
The flying treasure had only three rooms and a small living area.
Qiao Xing, with the lowest cultivation, had to settle for cultivating in the living area.
As Lan Xiaobu activated the flying treasure and the Wind Raptor sped through the void, Mou Yichen felt his divine sense unable to clearly fix on a location.
He was immediately shocked.
"Five Realms King, is this a flying treasure that surpasses top-grade immortal flying artifacts?"
Gong Yunqi chuckled, "What else?"
The implication was that if it didn't surpass top-grade immortal flying artifacts, why would Lan Xiaobu bother switching flying treasures?
Mou Yichen realized he had overthought it.
Lan Xiaobu simply found his flying shuttle too slow and thus used the Wind Raptor, which surpassed top-grade immortal flying artifacts.
Originally, returning to the Qingfang Immortal Domain would have taken at least five to eight years, and if there were delays, it might take even longer, possibly missing the entry time for the Chaos Secret Realm.
That's why he had said he would wait for Lan Xiaobu for ten years, which was indeed the maximum time.
Fortunately, Lan Xiaobu had completed the protective boundary array in eight years.
Now, with this flying treasure, they could return to the Qingfang Immortal Domain in less than two years.
The Wind Raptor was incredibly fast.
Occasionally, void immortal beasts tried to intercept them, but their speed was no match.
Lan Xiaobu didn't waste any time.
Once the Wind Raptor entered the void, he immediately began seclusion.
Over the years, due to various trivial matters, he hadn't had time to cultivate, and as a result, he was still only at the third layer of the Immortal King realm.
He had used the top-grade immortal veins to set up the immortal world's grand array, so now he cultivated using immortal marrow veins and the immortal pool he had transplanted from the Divine Cloud Immortal Pool.
As the Eternal Life Technique circulated, pure immortal energy swirled around Lan Xiaobu, forming a vortex.
The purity of the immortal energy he used for cultivation was so high that his cultivation level began to slowly increase.
While cultivating, Lan Xiaobu set up a束灵仙阵.
Even so, Mou Yichen, in the adjacent room, could still sense the terrifying fluctuations of immortal energy from Lan Xiaobu's room.
He was inwardly shocked.
The intensity of this immortal energy absorption was something even ordinary Immortal Venerables couldn't match.
Coupled with Lan Xiaobu's ability to set up the protective boundary array for the Five Realms Immortal World and his recognition as the Five Realms King by the immortal domain, Mou Yichen realized that this Five Realms King was anything but ordinary.
Before a year had passed, Lan Xiaobu, who was already on the verge of a breakthrough, successfully advanced to the fourth layer of the Immortal King realm, becoming a mid-stage Immortal King cultivator.
Lan Xiaobu didn't continue cultivating.
The twelve ninth-grade defensive immortal arrays he had set up in the Cosmic Dimension Matrix had all collapsed.
It hadn't even been a year, and they were already gone.
He had no choice but to return to the Five Realms Immortal World, where he set up twenty-four ninth-grade defensive immortal arrays around Moqiu.
