Immortal General Perfection, Only Three Fires Short

In the Xukong, the stench of blood gradually dissipated.

Dongfang Yueming casually tossed away the withered remnant soul of the Purple Fire Immortal Lord, a glimmer of understanding flashing in his eyes.

"Soul search complete."

"This guy truly lives up to his reputation as a veteran Immortal Lord; his understanding of the laws is indeed unique."

[Ding! Absorbed Immortal Lord -level Law Enlightenment...]

[Progress of "Origin Immortal Art: Immortal Lord Chapter": 40%...60%!]

[Progress of "Origin Immortal Art: Immortal King Chapter": 10%...20%!]

"The Immortal Lord chapter is halfway through, and the Immortal King chapter is just beginning to take shape."

Dongfang Yueming nodded in satisfaction, then looked intently at the storage ring wreathed in purple flames in his hand.

"Next up is the part I've been most looking forward to... the unboxing!"

When his divine sense probed in, even though Dongfang Yueming was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback by the Purple Fire Immortal Lord's immense wealth.

In this inferior immortal dynasty, this person is practically a walking treasure trove!

[Low-grade Immortal Stone: 3000000!]

[Mid-grade Immortal Stone: 10,000!]

[High-quality Immortal Stone: 100!]

"Just the immortal stones alone, converted into Immortal Points, would be enough for me to splurge for a while."

He continued searching and soon found a pile of purple ore exuding a sharp aura in a corner.

[Tier 3 Immortal Gold - Purple Flame Divine Iron: 8 pieces!]

"Adding the 10 pieces from Immortal Lord Liuyun, I now have 18 pieces of third-tier immortal gold." Dongfang Yueming frowned slightly. "Unfortunately, it's still far from the number needed to break through to Immortal Lord."

Finally, his gaze settled on the three exquisite jade boxes.

Upon opening it, three blood-red crystals, with what appeared to be dancing fire spirits inside, came into view.

[Low-Level Law Crystal - Fire x3!]

"Fire type again?"

Dongfang Yueming's heart stirred, and his brain raced as he began to deduce the path of law fusion.

"I had already fused together a [Mid-Rank Law of Fire (Perfection)]."

"According to the deductions of the Origin Immortal Art, to advance to the [Higher Law], one needs to fuse three Perfection [Middle Law]!"

He looked at the three crystals in his hand, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"Three low-grade crystals, after Point Allocation Perfection, are just enough to fuse into the second [Mid-grade Law of Fire]!"

In other words...

"I currently possess two mid-level fire magic spells."

"Just one more goal to go in the middle!"

"That means... we're still short three lower-level fire Law Crystal!"

"If we can find three more..."

Dongfang Yueming's breathing became slightly rapid.

"I can fuse... the legendary [High-Rank Law of Fire], which only an Immortal Emperor can master!"

Once he masters the Higher Law, he will be an absolute god in this middle-level immortal dynasty!

"Unfortunately, I've already plundered the Purple Flame Immortal Dynasty bald."

He shook his head regretfully and put the crystal away.

"System, reclaim all immortal stones!"

[Ding! Recycling successful!]

[Gained Immortal Points: 3,000,000 (Low-grade) + 1,000,000 (Mid-grade) + 1,000,000 (High-grade) = 5,000,000!]

Adding the previous balance.

[Current balance of Immortal Points currency: 7,485,503!]

"Seven million... that's enough!"

Dongfang Yueming sat cross-legged in the Xukong, all the acupoints in his body open, and the faint chaotic energy swirled around him.

"Late-Stage Immortal General, break through!"

[Point Allocation!]

[Ding! 3,600,000 Immortal Points consumed, advancing to Immortal General Perfection!]

"Boom--!!!"

A deep, rumbling sound, like an ancient god beating a war drum, exploded within his body!

His [Origin Immortal Physique] underwent a subtle qualitative change at this moment.

On the originally dark golden bones, wisps of mysterious purple light began to emerge, a sign of leaping to a higher level of life. The immortal power within the body was as viscous as mercury syrup, each drop incredibly heavy, containing explosive power.

The Immortal General Perfection!

At this moment, with his physical strength alone, he might be able to shatter an ordinary second-tier immortal artifact with a single punch!

"Call..."

Dongfang Yueming slowly stood up, and the surrounding space, unable to withstand the force field he unintentionally released, actually emitted a faint cracking sound.

"The power has been accumulated to its peak."

"To advance further and break through to the Immortal Lord, one must reforge their physical body with a large amount of third-tier immortal gold, pushing the ' Origin Immortal Physique ' to the third tier!"

"But this lower-level immortal dynasty is too poor in resources."

He turned around and looked at Qingxue, who was already staring at him with rapt attention.

Let's go.

"Where are we going, Master?" Qingxue asked instinctively.

Dongfang Yueming cast his gaze into the distant depths of the Xukong, where there was an extremely faint yet exceptionally large spatial fluctuation.

That is the gateway to a higher level of the world.

"Azure Clouds and Purple Flame are now worthless."

"Let's go to... the Purple Star Immortal Dynasty!"

Upon hearing this, Qingxue's delicate body trembled slightly, and a complex expression flashed in her eyes.

That was her hometown, and also the place where she once fell from grace.

"Yes, Master."

She took a deep breath and replied respectfully.

"The Purple Star Immortal Dynasty is a mid-level immortal dynasty with abundant resources. Although third-tier immortal gold is precious, it is not impossible to buy it in major merchant guilds and auction houses."

"And..."

She glanced at Dongfang Yueming, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.

"With Master's strength, even if he gets there, he will still be... a formidable force!"

Dongfang Yueming smiled faintly, flicked his sleeves, and transformed into a streak of Qingxue, tearing through the boundary wall in an instant, rushing towards that more vast and more dangerous world!

[Mid-level Celestial Dynasty...]

[The puzzle piece of the Higher Law is waiting for me there!]

"Buzz--!"

With a violent spatial fluctuation, two figures passed through the thick boundary wall and stepped into a completely new world.

As soon as they gained a foothold, an incredibly dense aura of immortal energy rushed towards them like a tidal wave!

If the spiritual energy of a lower-level immortal dynasty is like a thin mist, then this place is like thick dew!

"Call..."

Dongfang Yueming took a deep breath, feeling every pore on his body cheering and greedily absorbing this high-quality energy.

"This is... a mid-level immortal dynasty, the Purple Star Immortal Dynasty?"

He looked around.

In the far distance, a colossal city, too magnificent to be described in words, floated in the heavens!

The city was entirely forged from purple gold, surrounded by nine illusory star rivers stretching for tens of thousands of miles. Countless cranes and auspicious beasts danced in the clouds, and powerful auras crisscrossed the city.

Here, Immortal Soldier are less valuable than dogs, and Immortal General roam everywhere!

Occasionally, one can even sense a few... terrifying fluctuations belonging to the level of Immortal Lord!

"Yes, Master."

Standing behind Dongfang Yueming, Qingxue looked at the familiar giant city, a complex and indescribable expression flashing in her beautiful eyes.

There was both nostalgia and... fear.

"That place is the Purple Tenuity Imperial Capital— [Purple Forbidden Enclosure]."

"It's also... a place I used to live in."

She was once a genius of the Clear Spirit Sect, a top sect in the Purple Star Immortal Dynasty, enjoying immense fame and being adored by thousands. But now, she has returned only to become someone else's maid.

This stark contrast made her subconsciously lower her head, pull down her hood, and try to cover her face.

Let's go.

Dongfang Yueming didn't notice her strange behavior and calmly walked forward.

"Let's go and see the prosperity of this mid-level immortal dynasty."

Purple Forbidden Enclosure, South Gate.

The place was bustling with people, and every cultivator who came in and out emanated a considerable aura.

When Dongfang Yueming led Qingxue through the city gate, it didn't cause much of a commotion. After all, he had already concealed his aura to the extreme; to outsiders, he was just an ordinary traveling cultivator.

However.

Sometimes, trouble just comes knocking on your door.

Just as the two were crossing a busy street.

"Huh? That's...?"

A slightly frivolous yet somewhat surprised voice suddenly came from the restaurant on the side.

Immediately afterwards.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several figures clad in golden armor, exuding powerful auras, leaped down from the restaurant in an instant, blocking the two's path!

The leader, dressed in a purple-gold python robe and wearing a jade crown, had a handsome face but exuded a feminine air. He held a folding fan and stared intently at Qingxue behind Dongfang Yueming.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I thought I was seeing things."

The young man in the python robe closed his folding fan, a playful smile playing on his lips.

"Isn't this the Clear Spirit Sect's... the one known as 'pure and immaculate,' the long-lost Fairy Qingxue?"

"What? You see an old friend and you don't even say hello?"

Qingxue's delicate body trembled violently!

Her worst fears came true.

There are so many people in this circle who know her!

She had to slowly raise her head, remove her hood, and reveal her stunningly beautiful face. But at that moment, her face was filled with paleness and unease.

"Greetings... Greetings to His Highness the Third Prince."

She bowed slightly, her voice trembling.

The Third Prince of Ziwei — Zi Feng!

Late-Stage Immortal General cultivation!

This man was one of the suitors who had been most persistent and whom she despised the most back then! Relying on his royal background, he acted with complete impunity!
