Might Shakes the Immortal Dynasty, Longevity Through the Dao of Wood

Taiyi Immortal Dynasty, deep within the imperial palace.

"Clatter!"

The vermilion brush in the Ying Wudi Taiyi Immortal Emperor fell onto the table, leaving a glaring red mark.

He stared blankly at the top-level intelligence jade slip that had just been transmitted back to him. As Half-Saint, he felt his fingertips were icy cold.

"The Divine Firmament Sect... is gone?"

"The two Immortal Venerable, Zixiao and Kulei, have fallen... The seventh-tier sect-protecting immortal artifact, [Zixiao Soul-Shaking Bell], has been shattered..."

"Moreover, the scene still retains... the aura of lightning and power, two completely different Great Dao fusions?!"

Ying Wudi a deep breath, unable to suppress the shock in his eyes.

"The fusion of the Great Dao... that's the signature technique of Half-Saint!"

"Moreover, this mysterious expert has fused the destructive path of 'lightning' with the ultimate path of 'power'... This mysterious powerhouse's strength is probably among the top tier of Half-Saint!"

"Investigate! No... Stop investigating!"

Ying Wudi suddenly stood up, then slumped back down, his expression shifting unpredictably.

"Old monsters of this level have the most eccentric tempers. The Divine Firmament Sect must have angered him to suffer this misfortune."

"Send the order! Activate the highest-level defensive array in the capital! All royal retainers, cancel your leave and stand by!"

"Furthermore, I hereby issue a strict order to all forces to keep a low profile during this period! Anyone who offends that passing ' Half-Saint ' will have their entire family wiped out by my own hand!"

For a time, the entire Taiyi Immortal Dynasty was in a state of panic.

Major super powers and top sects closed their gates and recalled their disciples who were away. Even the most arrogant and domineering spoiled brats were strictly confined by their elders.

Everyone assumed that a bloodthirsty, evil Half-Saint had arrived in the Taiyi Immortal Domain.

But no one could have imagined that the mastermind behind all of this was just a "young man" who had only recently ascended to immortality and hadn't even reached the Immortal Ancestor Realm yet...

Taiyi Immortal City, there is a hidden underground cave.

The outside world's turmoil was irrelevant to Dongfang Yueming. At this moment, he was immersed in the joy of a bountiful harvest.

"Call--"

After adjusting his state, he took out the Law Crystal he had looted from the Divine Firmament Sect.

First, let's talk about the wind element.

[Low-Level Law Crystal - Wind x9]!

[Mid-Level Law Crystal - Wind x3]!

"Absorb!"

[Ding! You have mastered 9 lower-level wind-elemental laws!]

[Ding! You have mastered 3 mid-level wind-type laws!]

"Point Allocation! Merge!"

A massive amount of Immortal Points are burning.

The nine lower-level gates Perfection and merged into the three middle-level gates.

With the addition of the three newly absorbed mid-level wind-elemental laws, he now possesses a total of seven Perfection mid-level wind-elemental laws.

"Remelt!"

"Buzz--!"

A cyan storm howled through his Sea of Consciousness.

The six middle-level gates combined in pairs, ultimately transforming into two [Upper-Level Law of Wind] that exude a sharp aura!

"Not bad, only one more gate is needed to ascend to the Great Dao of Wind."

Dongfang Yueming nodded in satisfaction, then turned his attention to the main event.

Wood element!

In his hand, he held six [Mid-Level Law Crystal - Wood] that radiated a rich Vitality.

"Absorb!"

[Ding! You have comprehended the Middle Law - [Ancient Wood Everlasting Green]!]

[Ding! Comprehended the Middle Law - [Myriad Flowers Bewildering Realm]!]

He instantly mastered the six mid-level wood-elemental laws and Point Allocation Perfection!

"Merge!"

"Boom--!"

The six middle-level gates merge into two [Upper-level - Law of Wood]!

He already possessed a high-level wood-type law before that.

At this moment, above the Sea of Consciousness.

Three vibrant green Higher Law runes, arranged in a triangular pattern, emanated a refreshing and invigorating life force.

[Superior· Myriad Phenomena]!

[Upper Rank - Yimu Azure Dragon]!

[Rise to Power: Withering and Flourishing, Life and Death]!

"The Trinity, the Great Dao... is self-sufficient!"

With his eyes slightly closed, Dongfang Yueming guided the three immense Vitality with his Divine Sense, causing them to collide with a deafening roar!

"Buzz--!!!"

There was no tyranny of thunder, no fury of fire.

This integration happened very subtly and gradually.

Behind him, a phantom of a Great Dao tree, entirely verdant and seemingly connecting heaven and earth, slowly grew.

Its roots penetrate into the Xukong, drawing nourishment from all the heavens and myriad realms; its branches and leaves support the sky, radiating boundless vitality!

[Ding! Congratulations, host!]

[Fusion successful! Obtained -- [The Great Dao of Wood]!]

"Call..."

Dongfang Yueming opened his eyes.

In the depths of his pupils, it seemed as if a primeval forest was being born and dying.

He gently raised his hand, revealing a deep, bone-revealing cut in his palm.

However, in the next instant...

A green light emanated from the wound, and it healed, scabbed over, and fell off at a speed visible to the naked eye, restoring it to its original state!

It all happened in less than a breath!

Not even a single scar was left; instead, the skin became even more radiant and smooth.

"What terrifying regenerative power!"

A hint of shock flashed in Dongfang Yueming's eyes.

"If the previous [Origin Immortal Physique] was an indestructible shield, then the current [Great Dao of Wood] is an inexhaustible blood bank!"

"As long as I'm not instantly annihilated, I can rely on this inexhaustible power of the Great Dao to instantly return to my peak!"

"Now... I'm truly an immortal cockroach!"

After resting for a while, Dongfang Yueming stood up.

He glanced at the panel.

[Immortal Points: 6566645503]

"Our strength has greatly increased, but we've also consumed a lot of resources."

"Especially immortal gold..."

To advance the [Origin Immortal Physique] to the sixth rank (corresponding to the Immortal Ancestor), or even the seventh rank (corresponding to the Immortal Venerable), a massive amount of sixth-rank, seventh-rank, or even eighth-rank Immortal Gold is required.

Although the Divine Firmament Sect contributed five pieces of seventh-grade immortal gold, it was far from enough.

"And that [Giant God Token] and that [Mysterious Fragment]..."

Dongfang Yueming toyed with the two items in his hands.

"Although it is recorded in the Divine Firmament Sect's records, the details are vague."

"Looks like I'll have to find a well-informed source to ask around."

He thought of Taiyi Immortal City.

But now that martial law is in effect in the capital, all the major chambers of commerce are definitely under close surveillance, so it's unlikely that legitimate channels will work.

"Since we can't do it openly, let's go underground."

Dongfang Yueming's lips curled into a slight smile.

Through the memories of the Soul-Searching Lei Mie, he learned that deep beneath the Taiyi Immortal City, there existed a vast black market called the [Nether Ghost Market].

It's a gathering place for all sorts of people; as long as you have money, you can buy anything and get any information you want.

"The Nether Ghost Market..."

"Perfect timing. I also want to see just how many treasures this superior immortal dynasty hides in its dark side."

"Buzz--!"

[Thousand Illusions Mask] is activated again.

Dongfang Yueming's figure twisted and transformed into an old man with a withered face and a chilling aura of death emanating from his body.

His cultivation level was suppressed to the Early Immortal Emperor.

It is inconspicuous yet powerful enough to deter petty thieves.

"Walk!"

He took a step forward, merging into the Xukong, and quietly infiltrated the dark world deep beneath the Taiyi Immortal City.
