Chapter 1332: Dao of the Void, and Big and Small
In Mystical Resonance Immortal City, the Ancient Ink Camp people finally found an inn, where they holed up and did not leave.
All the immortals who had Immortal King Tokens would basically do the same. But this might make them a target, because it was too obvious that they had Immortal King Tokens.
Therefore, it was still a roll of the dice.
After all, there were many others in similar situations.
It would not be easy to pass these 20 years in peace. They might even have to constantly change bases.
Luckily, within the immortal city, others did not dare to snatch too openly.
Wu Yu felt that there was no way he could get an Immortal King Token, mainly because he was still too weak. If he could only get stronger, the Immortal King Tokens would come all too naturally to him.
Besides, he still had 20 years of time.
He retreated to the Floating Dreams Pagoda, where he had 100 times the time. He began to incorporate the dao of the 4-realm immortal lord, along with his insights and experience, into a new immortal dao mark.
A year outside was 100 years in the Floating Dreams Pagoda.
"The path of cultivation is getting more and more difficult. The interactions between dao and life is also a huge area of scholarship. Even with the knowledge of a 4-realm immortal lord, I still need great amounts of time to improve."
With this, the great utility of the Floating Dreams Pagoda was more apparent than ever.
Wu Yu began to patiently cultivate. He was completely oblivious to everything happening outside.
The frightful power of the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast allowed him to continuously absorb new daos and, along with it, new understandings, perspectives, and experiences. He was like a hole with no bottom. He could absorb everything.
He himself was far from that level, but the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast continued to bring him to new heights.
His current level of comprehension had surpassed that of many Immortal Lord Realm cultivators, which was why he was improving so rapidly.
All of this was thanks to the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor. If not for him, Wu Yu's real body and the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast would not have come together in such a union.
It could be said that he was no longer just the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast. The Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast was like the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord. It could not control itself. And therefore, Wu Yu's main body offered that crucial piece of the puzzle.
He currently had five immortal dao marks.
With the understanding and experience of an Immortal Lord Realm cultivator, immortal dao marks were just a matter of time.
And he was in the Floating Dreams Pagoda, with plenty of time.
He continued to improve and train, reaching new levels of enlightenment. He continued to cultivate his daos as smoothly as a car sailing down a familiar road.
He spent 30 years consolidating his sixth dao, the Dao of Big and Small. This was gleaned from his Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth mystique.
The Dao of Big and Small was very interesting. It was not just about the physical shrinking and growing, but a transformation of strength and systems that resonated profoundly. The difference in a world's size held many mysteries.
For example, a big world could house an immortal spirit and form an autonomous realm.
Although Wu Yu had already consolidated the dao, he was still new to the Dao of Big and Small. This world was arcane, and he had a long way left to go.
In these 30 years, he was also contemplating the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Buddha Body. This was easier to cultivate than the Nine Xuan Dao Realm. In about 20 years, he had reached the sixth tier, and in 80 years, he reached the seventh tier. All he had to do was complete the eighth and ninth tiers, and his Dragon and Elephant Prajna Buddha Body would be thoroughly completed. At that time, he would have innumerable dragons and elephants.
And after 100 years, he finally formed his seventh immortal dao mark, the Dao of the Void.
Dao of the Void came from his Heaven Dao Mystique the Somersault Cloud. The Dao of the Void was the most complex. Wu Yu had gotten inspiration from the way the Floating Dreams Sword cut through reality itself.
Tearing apart the fabric of reality, revealing the void that was behind it. The Somersault Cloud traversed the void, and allowed Wu Yu to reach this Dao of the Void more easily. Of course, he too was just a beginner in this dao.
The void hid many mysteries. It was the antithesis of reality, and also ratified its existence. Wu Yu believed that first there was the void, and then reality came into existence. The void was the basis, and reality but a tinge of color on top of it.
The void was mysterious and profound. It was devoid of everything. Reality had everything, and variety in spades.
The Dao of the Void was a profound dao. When one mastered it, one would be a god among immortals. This immortal dao mark allowed Wu Yu to use the Somersault Cloud with even more mastery. It was of great help to his Somersault Cloud's improvement.
He had divided up the 4-realm immortal lord's immortal spirit world nucleus. The rush of power filled his entire body, and his Bodhi immortal energy and dragon and elephant buddha energy continued to swell. He also used many Dao Deepening Pills to make himself stronger. Both immortality arts had seen great improvement. Wu Yu himself felt that while he was still a Xuan immortal, his true power was probably equal to the immortal lords on the Sublime Gracious Sky.
Although perhaps the lower level ones.
At this time, more than a year had passed, and Wu Yu went out of the Floating Dreams Pagoda for some air.
He had not been in contact with Luo Pin for a year, so he decided to send her an Immortal Message Talisman to ask after her.
But just as he was about to send it out, he was stopped. It was none other than Yun Mo, who laughed nastily. "Finally, I've caught you red-handed! More than a year, and finally you can't help but betray us! You're going to tell others about our Immortal King Tokens, aren't you! From the start, I knew you were up to no good!"
Wu Yu started. To think that this guy was still breathing down his neck!
Just as he finished his accusation, he hollered for Xu Zidong and the others to come over. All nine appeared before Wu Yu. They looked perplexed, unsure of what was going on.
Yun Mo said, "Brothers and sister, I told you that this Wu Yu was unknown to us. Even if he were from the Great Ancient Ink Realm, he might be out to get us. Today, I've finally found the proof. While you all were cultivating, he was just about to send this Immortal Message Talisman. I caught him in the act!"
Yun Mo crowed, especially conceited. He handed the Immortal Message Talisman to Xu Zidong.
They were all shocked, and looked at Wu Yu's unreadable expression. However, Xu Zidong was rather level-headed. He opened the Immortal Message Talisman and read it, and then burst into lusty laughter.
Yun Mo was stunned.
"Come, read it, all of you." Xu Zidong passed it to Qin Chuan, who also started to laugh. He passed it down, and all of them looked at Wu Yu differently now.
Xu Zidong chuckled. "Truly more than meets the eye. You even have a beauty in your heart. I envy you, I envy you indeed! Old Xu here is always with these guys. What a pity!"
Yang Wenlan finished reading it and joined in the laughter. And then she looked crossly at Xu Zidong. "Hey, Boss, what are you saying?! Aren't I a beautiful, nubile immortal right here before your eyes?"
"Psshh, you're half a granny yourself." Qing Yuli snorted.
They were all very relaxed after reading it, and Yun Mo's face had gone stiff. He was the last one to receive the Immortal Message Talisman, and saw that it read: I've not contacted you for a while, and I miss you. In the swirling clouds of Qin Yin Peak, I remember that we....
And then the many things that they did.
It was a love letter.
"How is this possible!?" Yun Mo had been so sure that Wu Yu was up to no good, which was why he had sounded the alarm without even reading it. How could this be!?
And now the one being humiliated was him.
"Senior Yun Mo seems to have misunderstood me. But I did bring everyone out the last time, and I think I proved myself. To think that Senior Yun Mo is still suspicious of me - it's hurtful." Wu Yu retrieved the Immortal Message Talisman and then sent it out.
Actually, if Yun Mo kept this up, Wu Yu would also start to chafe, no matter how endless his patience was.
Xu Zidong said soberly, "Yun Mo, stop attacking Wu Yu. The eight of us believe in Wu Yu. Your doubt in him means you doubt us as well. It is meaningless. What we need now is unity, not mutual suspicion and enmity. We of the Ancient Ink Camp have always dealt in good faith, convincing others with our morals. You were the last to enter, but you should have understood this by now."
Qin Chuan said, "Think on it well."
Yun Mo's face was black as a storm cloud, and his anger showed. "I was just worried for everyone's safety, even the smallest things...."
Yang Wenlan said, "Alright, alright. Everyone knows to take safety seriously. No one here is a fool. We all know how to read people. Your heart is in the right place, but Wu Yu has already proved himself and helped us before."
They knew that Wu Yu would not betray them. They could tell from the look in his eyes and the way he conducted himself that he would not deceive them.
"Alright." Yun Mo still did not seem convinced. Especially after this incident, everyone seemed to favor Wu Yu, and this made him even more grumpy.
Xu Zidong looked at Wu Yu and said, "Seems like you've improved in a year of cultivation?"
Wu Yu nodded. "A little."
"Not bad at all, to see improvement so quickly. I vaguely recall you beating a 2-realm immortal lord, and very swiftly as well. I believe you can take on stronger opponents now, am I right?"
Wu Yu started. He did not think that he had been seen. But it did not matter, because the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast's devouring was not something that others would understand. And in the frenzy of battle, he probably had not seen clearly. After all, the slightest drop in focus might have cost him his own life.
Wu Yu nodded. "Indeed, I have become a little stronger. But that does not count for much here in Sublime Gracious Sky. Basically everyone is stronger than I am."
Xu Zidong said, "To be able to fight above one's level in the sky palaces speaks of superb talent. Looks like your potential is far beyond what we thought. The fact that such a genius like you came from the Great Ancient Ink Realm is a blessing indeed. As your seniors, it is our duty to protect you while you grow strong."
So he had appraised him so highly through his observations….
"Boss, are you serious?" The others were not so sure about Wu Yu's strength. However, Wu Yu's escape techniques and his travel speed indeed proved a lot.
Although he looked like he was a Xuan immortal, he was indeed strong.
His cultivation level was at Xuan immortal level, but his strength was not.
"I heard that there are some treasures which can hide one's cultivation level. Wu Yu, do you have something like that?"Qin Chuan asked.
Wu Yu nodded. "I will not hide the fact that I do. But I am still a little ways away from the Immortal Lord Realm."
He did not dare to say that he was a 7-xuan immortal. That way, they would assume he was a 9-xuan immortal.
"That's already fairly terrifying," Wu Xiao said.
Yun Mo could not resist. "You must be bragging. How about a match, so we can see for ourselves?"
