Chapter 1322 Proving the Dao
"What?! Immortal King Yuanfeng is actually Immortal King Jiuchen's woman? She's really hidden that well!"
The four fifth-tier Eternal Immortal Kings, including the Xuan Turtle Ancestor, were deeply shaken, their faces filled with disbelief. It was as if they were seeing this fiery red figure for the first time. Who could have imagined that the usually aloof Yuan Feng Immortal King would have a Daoist partner? Immediately afterward, a strong hope flashed in their eyes, and their hearts, shrouded in despair, seemed to crack open, letting in a sliver of light.
The Nine Celestial Kings! That's no ordinary Celestial King—the master of the Nine Celestial Palace, one of the ten great powers of the Northern Heavenly Immortal Land. Legend has it that he was already an eighth-order Eternal Celestial King eighty million cosmic eras ago, a being standing at the pinnacle of the Northern Heavenly Immortal Land. If this person stomped his foot, the entire Northern Heavenly Immortal Land would tremble three times.
Even if the old man in green robes in front of him is a seventh-order Eternal Immortal King, he probably wouldn't dare to offend the Nine Heavens Immortal King so easily!
However, to their disappointment, the old man in blue remained completely unmoved, his deep eyes showing no trace of fear, as if the title "Nine Celestial Kings" was merely an ordinary name, not even causing a ripple. The overwhelming hand that pressed down didn't pause; instead, it accelerated, closing instantly like red-hot iron pincers, gripping the five Eternal Celestial Kings, including the Yuanfeng Celestial King, tightly in its palm. The power of law overflowing from between its fingers sliced through their immortal bodies like sharp blades.
"Nine Celestial Kings? So what?" The old man in green robes looked at the struggling figure in his palm, sneered, and said in a powerful voice with an undeniable and overwhelming aura, "Today, no matter who comes, they cannot save you!"
"No...you're playing with fire!" Yuan Feng Immortal King struggled frantically in the palm of his hand, his fiery red fairy dress crumpled by the immense force, his once exquisite face contorted with fear, and his voice sharp as tearing silk, "My husband will never let you go! Even if you are a seventh-order Eternal Immortal King, you will not escape the fate of having your soul and spirit annihilated!"
The only response she received was the old man in green tightening his grip, and the terrifying suction force emanating from that large hand, enough to obliterate even the souls of immortal kings. The five felt their immortal bodies about to crack inch by inch under the immense force, their eternal origins pouring out like a flood, their consciousness gradually blurring, and their immortal souls seemingly being torn apart from their immortal bodies by this suction force.
......
After a cup of tea's time.
Within the inner perimeter of the Forbidden Land of No Form, on the eighth floor of the Primordial Immortal Boat, lies the Starry Immortal Palace.
"Whoosh..."
A flash of primordial light appeared, and five tiny figures, each about an inch tall, appeared in Su Mo's fair palm. Their auras were as weak as candles flickering in the wind, their immortal bodies covered in cracks. These were the five fifth-tier Eternal Immortal Kings, including the Yuan Feng Immortal King, whose cultivation had been sealed. They struggled futilely in Su Mo's palm, their small faces filled with fear and resentment, yet they couldn't muster even a shred of strength.
"Nine Celestial Kings?" Su Mo tapped his fingertip lightly, looking at the little figure in his palm, a playful smile curving his lips. "Let me see what kind of foundation this Nine Celestial Kings has that makes Yuan Feng Immortal King rely on him so much."
The next second...
The space within the Starry Sky Immortal Palace rippled slightly, and a river of time composed of countless time runes appeared out of thin air, shimmering with a silvery-gray luster, like a silver ribbon running through the entire palace. The flow of time within the Immortal Palace began to increase rapidly, from one to a hundred, one to a thousand, one to ten thousand... in the blink of an eye, it soared to one to one hundred million.
Immediately afterwards, the memories of Yuan Feng Immortal King's life flashed rapidly through Su Mo's sea of consciousness: from an innocent immortal child in the primordial star sea to ascending to the rank of Immortal King after experiencing countless tribulations; from the shyness when first meeting Jiu Chen Immortal King to the honor and favor after becoming his Daoist partner... Countless hidden scenes surged like a tide, but the true cultivation level of Jiu Chen Immortal King remained a closely guarded secret, as if shrouded in an invisible fog, with only a blurry outline visible.
......
One year in the outside world is over a hundred million years in the Starry Sky Immortal Palace.
Su Mo slowly opened his eyes, a hint of solemnity flashing in them—these old fogies were indeed all extremely well-hidden. Rumors circulated that the Nine Heavens Immortal King had advanced to the eighth-tier Eternal Immortal King realm eighty million cosmic eras ago, but fragments of the Yuanfeng Immortal King's memories showed that he had already reached the eighth-tier Immortal King realm one hundred and fifty million cosmic eras ago!
Now, he is only one step away from becoming a ninth-tier Eternal Immortal King, and it is even possible that he has already quietly advanced.
These old fogies only ever trust themselves. Even if Yuan Feng Immortal King is Jiu Chen Immortal King's bedmate, he might not know the full extent of his power.
However, the solemnity in Su Mo's eyes vanished in an instant. So what if the Nine Celestial King had truly advanced to the ninth rank? The Nine Yuan Dao Domain, where the Nine Celestial Palace was located, was seven Dao Domains away from the Southern Heaven Dao Domain. Even a ninth-rank Eternal Celestial King would need to spend a considerable amount of time to cross this distance.
With this buffer time, he could make full preparations to deal with the Nine Heavens Immortal King's revenge.
Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation appeared in Su Mo's eyes. If he could defeat an eighth-order perfect or even ninth-order Eternal Immortal King, he would basically no longer need to worry about the Eternal True Spirit before reaching the fifth-order Eternal Immortal King.
"Next up are these four old guys."
Su Mo's gaze swept over the four Eternal Immortal Kings, including the Xuan Turtle Ancestor, and with a thought, he activated the Soul Search once more. Countless fragments of memories flooded his sea of consciousness like snowflakes: the Xuan Turtle Ancestor's experiences and secrets spanning nearly a billion cosmic epochs, recording the rise and fall of countless Dao Domains and the coordinates of secret realms; the Divine Elephant Immortal King's "Return of All Things to the Dao" cultivation secret method, containing the ultimate truth of proving the Dao through force; the Cloud Thunder Immortal King's unique understanding of the origin of the Thunder Dao, capable of drawing upon the divine thunder of the Nine Heavens to temper his immortal body; the Imperial Dao inheritance wielded by the Martyr Immortal King, recording the profound mysteries of the laws governing all immortals... all presented themselves before him, like opening a series of dusty ancient books, broadening his horizons.
......
Five years later.
"boom......"
The river of time that ran through the entire celestial palace suddenly shattered, transforming into countless points of light that drifted like fireflies within the palace, flickering with their last glimmer before vanishing without a trace. The flow of time within the palace immediately returned to normal, synchronized with the outside world, and the movement of the star patterns also slowed down.
Su Mo let out a soft breath—these old fellows truly lived up to their reputation as fifth-tier Eternal Immortal Kings; their vision far surpassed that of third-tier Immortal Kings like the Crimson Dragon Immortal King. Especially the Xuan Turtle Ancestor, whose nearly ten billion cosmic epochs of experience had not been wasted; the breadth of his knowledge was something many sixth-tier Eternal Immortal Kings would likely be ashamed of.
"receive!"
With a thought, the five, including Immortal King Yuanfeng, transformed into five streams of light and were taken into Su Mo's natal immortal domain. They were imprisoned together in the Chaos Prison with the twenty-nine Immortal King captives, awaiting their fate of being obliterated by the illusory body of the spirit.
......
Spring goes and autumn comes, and another thousand years have passed.
Deep within Su Mo's natal immortal domain, within the Chaos Prison, a flash of primordial light appeared, and three more fifth-tier Eternal Immortal Kings were captured. After capturing the five fifth-tier Eternal Immortal Kings, including the Yuan Feng Immortal King, he used their treasured fourth and fifth-grade Eternal Immortal Artifacts as the core of his array, setting up layers of Eternal Immortal Arrays. Suppressing the subsequent arrivals of the fifth-tier Eternal Immortal Kings became increasingly easy. These three fifth-tier Eternal Immortal Kings didn't even have time to see who their opponents were before being imprisoned by the Eternal Immortal Arrays, unable to offer any resistance, and thus becoming prisoners.
......
Time passed year after year as fourth- and fifth-order Eternal Immortal Kings flew like moths to a flame, and soon, three million years had passed.
"Whoosh..."
With a wave of his hand, the old man in green robes took the Formless Heavenly Crystal, which had expanded to nearly three hundred feet in diameter, into his natal immortal domain. Instantly, the brilliant light in the core area dimmed and disappeared without a trace, as if the previous light was just a dream.
Then, the old man in green robes moved like a wisp of green smoke, rushing towards the inner perimeter of the Wuxiang Forbidden Land.
Three million years have passed, and he has basically captured the fourth and fifth-order Eternal Immortal Kings in the core area, gaining a total of thirteen fifth-order Immortal Kings and thirty-seven fourth-order Immortal Kings as prisoners.
It has been nearly 500,000 years since a new Eternal Immortal King has come to visit, so staying here any longer would be a complete waste of time.
During this period, after successively annihilating four third-tier Eternal Immortal Kings, including the Lingxu Immortal King, Su Mo's "Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Scripture" finally broke through to the twelfth-grade perfection realm. His main body's combat power directly crossed the threshold of the sixth-tier Eternal Immortal King, and although his 1,800 spiritual illusion bodies were slightly inferior, they still surpassed most quasi-sixth-tier Immortal Kings. With his overall combat power, he firmly stepped into the ranks of the eighth-tier Eternal Immortal Kings.
......
In the blink of an eye, millions of years have passed.
At this moment, the number of third-tier Eternal Immortal King prisoners in the Chaos Prison has more than doubled, reaching sixty-three people—this is after the Spirit Void Illusion Body has annihilated another sixteen third-tier Immortal Kings.
......
It has been ninety million years since Su Mo entered the Forbidden Land of No Form.
Including the Crimson Dragon Immortal King he refined at the beginning, more than a hundred third-tier Eternal Immortal Kings have fallen into Su Mo's hands. The advanced cultivation method of the Primordial Immortal Golden Immortal Scripture, the Primordial Myriad Tribulations Undying Scripture, finally has the words "can be infused" added, emitting a faint golden light, as if beckoning him.
"It's done! My enlightenment will be achieved today!"
