Chapter 208, 4th Life: East Sea Shore, 3 Great Immortal Sects!_2
The reason they are doing this.
Is merely to use such means to force Lu Yuan to bow his head!
After all, for a Tribulation Crossing True Monarch to enhance their power, the only way is to continuously increase the number of their Law Dao Marks.
But the number of Law Dao Marks in the world is constant and unchanging.
Each hole is only for one radish.
If someone can monopolize the Dao Marks of a certain law and the Heaven and Earth Wonders with Heaven-Reaching Means.
Then no matter how good the talent of those who come later, nor how hard they strive, they would have no hope of a breakthrough throughout their lives!
"I understand, you may leave now."
Lu Yuan's expression remained unchanged.
Only his gaze turned icy, as he lifted his eyes towards the direction of the Central Continent and the East Sea, a murderous intent overwhelming in his heart!
...
Cloud Celestial Immortal Palace.
"Palace Master, according to the information from our spies, Lu Yuan has recently been collecting Heaven and Earth Wonders related to Law Origins of the Thunder Element, Cause and Effect, Power Dao, and others in a great frenzy."
"As per your instructions, I, along with the East Sea Immortal Sect and other Holy Lands, spared no expense to purchase all the treasures in advance."
"Not to mention, the Southern Domain is already resource-poor, and now, even if Lu Yuan scrapes the ground three feet deep, he won't find any useful Immortal Materials and Divine Objects!"
A Divinity Transformation Elder said with pride.
"You have done very well."
Upon hearing this, the Cloud Celestial Palace Master revealed a trace of joy in his eyes.
As a Half-Step Tribulation True Monarch, he naturally understood how difficult it was for ordinary cultivators to acquire Law Dao Marks that suited themselves.
Although the Heavenly Dao is vast, claiming to have Three Thousand Laws.
The ways to obtain the Law Dao Marks, however, are exceedingly rare.
Based on experiences summarized by predecessors, there are only three ways to obtain Dao Marks.
The first is through normal cultivation, merging with the heavens and earth, and comprehending the essence of the laws, during which there might be a chance to obtain a trace of Law Dao Mark.
But the Heaven and Earth Laws are profoundly complex, and mastering even a trace of Dao Mark is as hard as ascending the heavens, many Tribulation Crossing Cultivators might exhaust their entire lives without advancing even a small realm.
The second way is by relying on Heaven and Earth Wonders, or treasures and Dao Fruits left by predecessors, to quickly enhance one's power.
These Heaven and Earth Wonders come into being with the world, inherently containing a large number of Law Dao Marks, and are the ultimate Immortal Elixirs that cultivators dream of.
A typical Tribulation Crossing Cultivator would save thousands of years of hard cultivation if they could obtain such a wonder.
However, like all these Immortal Treasures and Divine Medicines, they have long been divided cleanly by the major Holy Lands, so how could they ever fall into the hands of an ordinary Tribulation True Monarch?
What makes it even worse.
According to the Heavenly Dao Laws, when a Tribulation Crossing True Monarch falls, they must return their Dao to the heavens.
The Law Dao Marks they mastered would dissipate and return to the heavens and the earth.
But in the eyes of many Tribulation Crossing True Monarchs, why should the fattened water flow to outsiders' fields?
These Law Dao Marks were obtained through their hard cultivation, why should they cheaply benefit others?
Thus.
The major Holy Lands racked their brains and devised various secret inheritance methods.
For instance, when an expert of a secret sect is about to pass away, they would condense their lifelong cultivation and Dao Skill into a relic to pass down to the next generation.
Also, Tribulation Crossing True Monarchs might imprint their Law Dao Marks into Immortal Soldier Divine Artifacts through supreme means, for future generations to comprehend.
Or they might use methods like possession or empowerment to continuously pass their Dao Skill to others.
As a result.
The Law Dao Marks left in the outside world are very few, with most being controlled completely by the major Holy Lands.
Even if a few Law Dao Marks remain in the outside world, they are scattered in remote places where few people tread.
Even those as strong as Tribulation Crossing True Monarchs might not be able to find them.
But heaven always leaves a way out.
If ordinary cultivators want to obtain Law Dao Marks, there is still one last method left.
Crossing the Tribulation!
Risk and opportunity coexist.
Natural and earthly calamities are the manifestation of the Heaven and Earth Laws, though extremely perilous.
But as long as cultivators can successfully pass through the Celestial Tribulation, each time they can obtain a portion of Law Dao Marks.
However, the difficulty of Celestial Tribulation is indeed a life-or-death situation, even if one successfully crosses the tribulation, they will be greatly depleted in Primordial Energy.
Unless truly at an impasse, rarely would a Tribulation Crossing True Monarch choose this method.
"In the path of cultivation, talent is important, but wealth, companions, skills, and territory are also indispensable."
"Lu Yuan may have good talent, but how can he withstand the millennial accumulation of my Immortal Sect Holy Land?"
The Cloud Celestial Palace Master said arrogantly.
What of the Unparalleled Celestial Pride?
Afraid of your talent? Afraid of your power?
Without background and foundation, even a Tribulation Crossing True Monarch must respectfully bow their head and become a dog!
And the Cloud Celestial Immortal Palace's move not only strikes precisely at Lu Yuan's fatal weakness but also avoids direct confrontation with him, minimizing casualties.
Undoubtedly, a win-win situation!
After all, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures go to those who pay the highest price.
These Heaven and Earth Wonders were earned through fair competition.
Could it be that Lu Yuan dares to commit the great taboo of the world and oppose all the Holy Lands?
"It won't be long before Lu Yuan deeply realizes that compared to the foundation of our Holy Lands, his so-called talent and effort are insignificant."
"If he wishes to enhance his power, the only way is to join the Immortal Palace and let me command him at will!"
The Cloud Celestial Palace Master pondered for a moment, feeling more satisfied with this brilliant move.
But on the other side.
Without anyone noticing.
Lu Yuan, alone, quietly left Cyan Grass Mountain, transforming into a stream of light, and sped straight towards the East Sea Immortal Sect, the closest to the Southern Domain!
Rules and laws are merely made for the weak.
Since the major Holy Lands are in collusion, he can only solve the problem in his own way!
East Sea.
One of the Five Domains of the Spirit Realm.
This place is blessed with outstanding people, abundant resources, and is considered one of the most prosperous places in the Spirit Realm.
Along the East Sea Shore, three Immortal Mountains towering into the sky, seemingly connecting with the heaven and earth.
These three Immortal Mountains shrouded in dense mist, with such abundant spiritual energy that it almost turns into liquid, adding a sense of mystery and enigma!
Each Immortal Mountain stands like Ancient Divine Mountains, having stood unshaken on the East Sea for hundreds of thousands of years.
Many passing cultivators look upon these three Immortal Mountains with expressions of awe and longing.
For all the East Sea cultivators know well, these three Immortal Mountains are the locations of the Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou three Immortal Sects!
On Penglai Immortal Mountain, palatial buildings rise amidst celestial music and flying cranes, with immortal herbs and wondrous flowers flourishing everywhere, emitting a faint fragrance.
The spiritual energy here is dense, with Heaven and Earth Laws transforming into Dao Marks, pervading the heavens and earth, a dreamland for East Sea cultivators and an aspiration for countless talents.
Abbot Mountain appears more solemn and majestic, seeming more serene compared to Penglai Immortal Mountain.
Atop the mountain, ancient palaces tower.
These palaces, ancient and natural, hold profound secrets of Daoist Skills between every brick and tile.
If a Tribulation Crossing True Monarch is here, they would be thrilled, for Abbot Immortal Mountain is guarded by an Ancient Grand Array, embedding Law Dao Marks in every plant and tree.
For all Tribulation Crossing True Monarchs, this is absolutely a Supreme Holy Land for comprehending the Great Dao of heaven and earth!
Yingzhou Immortal Mountain, veiled in clouds and mist, seems mysterious and unfathomable.
Numerous Immortal Sect disciples, dressed in Feather Robes, glide through the thick clouds with Escape Light.
In the mountain's palaces, pill furnace flames flicker, the sound of artifact refining echoes, talismans fly, and array light flashes.
Under the Purple Bamboo Forest, an old Taoist in green robes instructs disciples and resolves doubts, with everything appearing serene and transcendental, tranquil and beautiful.
Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou share the same lineage, with the same roots and origin.
Their influence spreads across the Spirit Realm, undoubtedly making them the foremost Holy Land of the East Sea!
But accompanied by a thunderous explosion.
The three Immortal Mountains suddenly experience violent quakes, shaking as if they have encountered an apocalypse!
"I've heard much about the unparalleled Daoist Skills of the East Sea Immortal Sect, Junior Lu Yuan, especially visiting today!"
Seen at the foot of the Immortal Mountain.
A black-haired young man, exuding an extraordinary aura, loudly declared.
His voice, though not loud, fell like rolling celestial thunder, exploding in everyone's ears!
Many low-powered disciples were shaken with surging blood, eyes turning black, nearly collapsing on the spot.
As for the Nascent Soul Elders and Divinity Transformation Strong Persons, they fared no better.
Each one was furious, faces livid with rage.
The East Sea Immortal Sect, standing tall, revered as a Supreme Holy Land by countless cultivators.
Even the most arrogant geniuses must bow humbly and respectfully before the Immortal Sect.
Since ancient times, has anyone dared to be as audacious as Lu Yuan?
Almost in an instant.
From within the East Sea's three Immortal Sects, streams of light soared into the sky, appearing in the outer realm.
Upon seeing Lu Yuan alone, challenging the entire Immortal Sect, they were even more enraged, their eyes flaming, immediately reprimanding.
"Impudent!"
"Outrageous!"
"What villain dares to create chaos in our Immortal Sect?"
