Hunyuan Heavenly Immortal's Legacy-Wuji Ring (Bonus Chapter for the First Alliance Leader) Please Bookmark and Vote!

Dawn was nearly over.

Just as the Sun Star was about to rise, Xia Manggan slowly opened his eyes.

The enormous black-and-white millstone revolving in his mind dissipated as well.

Hunyuan Infinite Wheel.

Xia Manggan sighed inwardly.

It is remarkably similar to the path Xuanji took. This Hunyuan Heavenly Immortal... what a pity.

As he recalled the myriad mysteries of the inheritance he had received,

even with Xia Manggan's knowledge, he could not help but deeply lament that Heavenly Immortal Patriarch, who had long since fallen into the river of history and had left behind few records even within his own sect's Academy.

The world of Desolate Era was not the world of Yang God.

In the Yang God world, whether it was Martial Dao or Daoist arts, divine souls, and thought projections, all cultivation focused on oneself.

Comprehending all kinds of principles was likewise about condensing one's own fist intent and spiritual will, ultimately bringing humanity's small cosmos into harmony with Heaven and Earth's great cosmos.

But the Desolate Era world possessed the Heavenly Dao, the Chaos Heavenly Dao, and even Chaos Universe Laws—the path of the Eternal Emperor and the Supreme Dao.

Every immortal cultivator in this world cultivated the Dao of Heaven and Earth and the universe.

They used themselves to comprehend Heaven and Earth, then received feedback from Heaven and Earth, thereby transcending mortality and becoming sages. Some even forged their own Ultimate Dao, allowing one Dao to give birth to ten thousand Daos, and ultimately became a Chaos Universe Controller.

Of course.

That was getting a little far ahead.

Xia Manggan only knew all this because he had read the original novel.

But just within the Three Realms, within the Xia Clan Great World,

if one wished to become a Heavenly Immortal, a Void Return Earth Immortal had to endure the three Heavenly Tribulations of wind, Fire Law, and Thunder before achieving a Heavenly Immortal's body and Golden Core.

After that came the Heart Demon Tribulation, through which one achieved a Heavenly Immortal's Dao Heart.

Only after overcoming all these tribulations could one be considered a carefree Heavenly Immortal who had "leapt beyond the Three Realms and no longer lay within the Five Elements Dao."

And to advance from Heavenly Immortal to Pure Yang True Immortal, one first had to completely comprehend and master a Great Dao. Then one had to comprehend five ordinary Daos corresponding to the Five Elements Dao, thereby condensing the "Five Qi in the Chest."

Only then could the Heavenly Immortal Golden Core transform into a Pure Yang Golden Core, granting one Pure Yang Immortal Force and allowing one to become a Pure Yang True Immortal.

Such a being would become a great power capable of rivaling the lord of an entire great world.

In the entire Xia Clan Great World, a Heavenly Immortal appeared perhaps once every million years.

From the beginning of the Gods and Demons Era until now, there had likely not even been five people in the Xia Clan Great World who had advanced from Heavenly Immortal to Pure Yang True Immortal.

This showed just how difficult it was to completely comprehend and master a Great Dao and become a Pure Yang True Immortal.

But what about Patriarch Hunyuan?

With the foundation of a Heavenly Immortal, he had wanted to blend ten thousand Daos, even merge every Great Dao together, like the Black-White Diagram, and ultimately form a Hunyuan Dao...

In theory, it was possible.

But in practice—

What Hunyuan Dao? That is the Chaos Heavenly Dao! Such a realm is something only a Daluo Dao Ancestor can begin to comprehend and pursue.

Xia Manggan shook his head inwardly.

If Patriarch Hunyuan had first chosen a Great Dao and continued down that path,

then with his comprehension, he might have had a sliver of a chance of becoming a Pure Yang True Immortal.

But he was not even a Pure Yang True Immortal, yet he wanted to reach in a single step the realm of a Daluo Dao Ancestor, a realm above Pure Yang True Immortals and even higher than Ancestor Immortals.

If Patriarch Hunyuan had truly succeeded, that would have been a miracle.

Still, now that I have obtained the inheritance of the Hunyuan Infinite Wheel, along with the Black-White Diagram's assistance, it will be tremendously helpful for my future deductions of the Wheel of Life and Death of the Heavens.

And I also have "Super Epiphany," and I know the future course of the Desolate Era world.

The path the Hunyuan Heavenly Immortal failed to walk through may not be impossible for me!

Xia Manggan's heart surged with emotion, and boundless fighting spirit welled up in his eyes.

Suddenly—

his ears twitched, and he turned to look.

In the distance, a hunched old man was walking toward him.

A Heavenly Immortal?

Xia Manggan was surprised.

Earlier, while comprehending the Black-White Diagram, he had combined it with the essence of the "Cosmos" chapter from the Yang God world's Supreme Elixir Scripture and successfully grasped a trace of the true meaning of the Great Dao of Time. That was why he had triggered the Hunyuan Heavenly Immortal's inheritance to emerge for its next-generation successor.

Thus, as he looked at the hunched old man approaching him, he could clearly sense from him an aura and bearing that could casually stir changes in the surrounding Time Dao with every step.

Even among Loose Immortals and Earth Immortals, those with extremely high comprehension of the Great Dao of Time could not achieve such naturalness, such complete absence of worldly traces.

Only true Heavenly Immortals, who had leapt beyond the Three Realms, could do so.

It is Tuoshan Heavenly Immortal of the Beishan Clan.

Xia Manggan realized who the visitor was.

At the same time, from the original novel, he knew that the Beishan Clan was utterly loyal to the imperial Xia Mang Clan and had always shown great care toward the Black-White Academy.

Therefore, he did not panic. He calmly bowed and said, "This junior is Xia Manggan. Greetings, senior Heavenly Immortal."

"Oh? You know that I am a Heavenly Immortal?"

Celestial Immortal Tuoshan became even more certain of his earlier guess. "My Daoist title is 'Tuoshan.' I am a Heavenly Immortal of the Beishan Clan, under the Marquis of Anchan. Little friend, which bloodline branch of the Xia Mang Clan do you come from? Prince Qi, Prince Ning, Prince Wu, or Prince Wei?"

The branches he mentioned were all among the strongest and most populous branches of the Xia Mang Clan.

Their Heavenly Immortal patriarchs were either the Xia Emperor's right-hand men or his direct descendants.

"..." Xia Manggan did not answer, responding with silence.

"Rest assured, my immortal arts have sealed off this place. Even Heavenly Immortals cannot investigate it. Besides, I have met most of those top Heavenly Immortal princes of the imperial clan." Celestial Immortal Tuoshan smiled gently. "If you tell me your origins, I might even know your elders and give you some extra gifts as a first meeting present."

"..." Xia Manggan shook his head and remained silent.

Even he could only guess at his own identity and could not yet be certain of it. How could he casually speak nonsense?

As for lying to swindle benefits, he disdained doing so.

"It seems your elders have forbidden you from revealing it. Then this old man will not ask."

Celestial Immortal Tuoshan smiled and shook his head.

After learning that Xia Manggan came from the imperial clan, he naturally wanted to clarify his identity and origins.

Given his status and the Beishan Clan's control over Anchan Commandery, it had taken only a little time to discover that Xia Manggan had arrived through the teleportation array at Yinglong Mountain's headquarters in the Great Xia Royal Capital.

Celestial Immortal Tuoshan had also investigated the conflict outside the Black-White Academy the previous evening.

He had even personally gone there and cast the Time Reversal Technique, seeing Ah Huang's true form with his own eyes.

In the entire Xia Clan Great World, only the few Heavenly Immortal princes he had mentioned possessed the ability to obtain a Heaven-Eroding Yellow Dragon as a spirit beast for their junior descendants.

So, since he could not get an answer, Celestial Immortal Tuoshan did not press the matter.

As for whether Xia Manggan might be descended from the Xia Emperor, Celestial Immortal Tuoshan had never even considered it.

After all, the Xia Emperor was so ancient and long-lived that he was even older than the entire Three Realms.

For such an ancient and great being, having descendants was exceedingly difficult—and entirely unnecessary.

"I came here specifically to see you."

Before Xia Manggan could ask anything, an Ancient Stone Ring radiating a dark, glossy black sheen appeared in Celestial Immortal Tuoshan's hand.

"Back then, the Hunyuan Heavenly Immortal made an agreement with my Beishan Clan. If the inheritance he left behind ever emerged, this item was to be returned to his next-generation successor."

As he spoke, Celestial Immortal Tuoshan opened his wrinkled palm, dry as old tree roots, and the Ancient Stone Ring in his hand flew toward Xia Manggan.

"I came to return it to its rightful owner."

Something left behind by the Hunyuan Heavenly Immortal?

Xia Manggan reached out and caught the Ancient Stone Ring, whose material was obviously the same as that of the Black-White Diagram.

Immediately—

"So, you are the next-generation successor chosen by Hunyuan?"

A crisp, childish voice, like that of a three- or four-year-old child, rang in his ear.

"You finally appeared. I have been stuck in that mortal minor world for who knows how long. I was already sick of it."

"A spirit artifact?" Xia Manggan was not surprised.

After all, an item left behind by a Heavenly Immortal had to be at least an Immortal Rank magic treasure.

There was nothing strange about an Immortal Rank magic treasure producing a spirit artifact.

And magic treasures of the Immortal Rank could only be used by Qi Refining cultivators after reaching the Void Return Earth Immortal stage.

He could not use it for the time being.

At most, he could exchange it for several million jin of Essence Liquid for cultivation, which was of some use.

Thus, Xia Manggan merely clasped his hands and bowed to Celestial Immortal Tuoshan in thanks.

"You do not seem very excited?"

After snorting, the crisp childish voice suddenly produced a Little Fatty Spirit from the Ancient Stone Ring. He wore a black-and-white bellyband and had a topknot sticking straight into the air.

"Let me tell you, I am no ordinary magic treasure spirit artifact! I am the spirit artifact of this Xiantian Spirit Treasure, the Wuji Ring."

As he spoke, the Little Fatty Spirit stretched out a chubby little hand and pointed boastfully at the Black-White Diagram.

"The Black-White Diagrams that you little fellows of the Black-White Academy observe and comprehend were all nurtured by me!"

Thanks to my fellow townsman Liu Nian Qingtan for the Alliance Leader reward!
