Chapter 1862: Far From It

“Then you stay here with Mo Yi and Diexi, don’t go anywhere.” Lu Yun felt that Xie Tianxun’s identity was a bit different from the others. Yun Yi had severed his karmic ties to Chu Xingran, but Lu Yun somehow felt that Yun Yi was still scheming after Xie Tianxun.

If his guess was right, then the Nebula Supreme must be one of Yun Yi’s. That was likely why Qing Buyi had been so insistent on killing the supreme at all cost.

From Lu Yun’s perspective, the safest place around was the origin hell. He hadn’t planned on looking into Xie Tianxun’s affairs as he didn’t want to be further entangled with Yun Yi on account of an outsider. But since Xie Tianxun might be Lin Mo’s younger brother, he had to let the man stay here.

……

These days, the atmosphere in the fourth realm was very strange indeed. The war between New Nihil Homeland and Nihil Homeland raged for six hundred years, but Lu Yun made a fool out of them all in the end.

The Golden Dragon King could barely keep his rage in. His golden dragons had lost countless geniuses over the six hundred years. Countless supremes had projected their wills in and been smashed apart, leading to their primary bodies being injured as well. Even his own projection had been shattered several times.

New Nihil Homeland and Nihil Homeland formed a death feud throughout the course of the conflict; their people also clashed against each other in the chief worlds. But just as the war was about to take one step further and expand the battlefield, Lu Yun stepped forward and published the method to evade the Lifeline Talisman. Everyone could learn it for free!

And that wasn’t even the most maddening!

Most infuriating of all was Lu Yun’s next article in the spirit paper. He felt so very guilty at seeing New Nihil Homeland and Nihil Homeland war over a tiny trick of a method. How awful it was that lives and properties were destroyed with abandon! He couldn’t bear to see the living nightmare continue and decided to publicize the method that rendered the Lifeline Talisman defunct so that the war could end.

He punctuated his sentiments with thousands of characters that spoke of remorse and repentance, each word bleeding with the blood of his anguish. Readers wept at his article and those who heard of it sorrowed.

The supremes of New Nihil Homeland didn’t really care. They hailed from different factions and their losses weren’t that great after the overall impact was averaged out. Their end goal was to ensure that the golden dragons didn’t monopolize the method around Lifeline Talismans. Now that it’d been published, the golden dragons were the ones who suffered the heaviest loss.

After the Golden Dragon King’s mind exploded from the completely useless war, he lost his mind again upon reading Lu Yun’s article of contrition. Yet he didn’t dare take any action—he couldn’t even rage at the young man for his actions. The Resurrection Talisman was about to go on sale, and the auctioneer was Lu Yun’s brother—Lu Feng!

Lu Yun certainly had something to do with the Resurrection Talisman! It was something that everyone knew, but didn’t expose. With the Lifeline Talisman rendered defunct and a Resurrection Talisman taking its place, everyone knew that they needed to stay on Lu Yun’s good side if they wanted to obtain what they wanted in the Land of Reincarnation.

Most hadn’t thought much of the talisman when it was first introduced. Many factions even decided to take advantage of the opportunity to wean themselves off talismans. But when the Resurrection Talisman was truly displayed, that was when the general public realized how frightening it could be.

This was power over life and death, one that could resurrect the dead!

That was what the powerhouses of the chief worlds seized on, not the fact that this was the replacement for the Lifeline Talisman. Thus, no one dared do anything to Lu Yun at this juncture. They also didn’t know who his backer was. Fuxi’s resurrection had caused a stir in the outside world, and now the appearance of the Resurrection Talisman further headed off any action against the young man.

Not even the golden dragons dared start anything. The Resurrection Talisman was Lu Yun’s counterattack. Of course, if the powerhouses realized that there was no one behind Lu Yun and all of it came from his own hand, the Land of Reincarnation would likely be vaporized in the next second.

Lu Yun was taking a massive risk—he’d always been perfectly willing to take a risk.

……

“What’s that you say, Martial Uncle Myriad Spirit?” Lu Yun blinked rapidly at the supreme in front of him.

“The old bogeys of the chief worlds have lived for countless eons, even their eyelashes brim with enlightenment. They most certainly know that Firstspirit and I helped you when the land first opened up. They probably also know that you’re Zhu Lingyan,” Myriad Spirit spread out his hands. “They’re well aware of the many things I’ve done over the years, they just haven’t come for me because I have a few aces up my sleeves.”

Lu Yun quirked his lips. What kind of character was Leize? Of course his disciples were much more than simply a supreme.

“So are you here on behalf of those old bogeys this time?” Lu Yun asked.

“No, I’m just here on my behalf,” Myriad Spirit chuckled. “I’ll stop pretending from now on since they know everything. How about I start the spirit paper in the chief worlds for you?”

“It’s just a spirit paper, martial uncle can have it anytime you wish. After all, it made inroads in the outside realm solely due to martial aunt and uncle.” Lu Yun scribbled out a contract to Myriad Spirit.

The supreme was overjoyed. He knew very well that once the spirit paper attained mass distribution status in the chief worlds, its influence would be on par with an ultimate great dao. It would be more fearsome than the Lifeline or Resurrection Talisman. The paper was a symbol of civilization. Only when civilization of the mind reached extreme prosperity would it produce something like the spirit paper.

Additionally, the karmic repercussions contained within were quite daunting. If Lu Yun hadn’t taken out the contract and authorized its operation to Myriad Spirit, the supreme wouldn’t have dared start one himself.

This was a type of copyright.

Copyrights on Earth were protected by law. While they were effective to a certain degree, they weren’t that strong. The copyrights of the chief worlds, however, were maintained by order. When Lu Yun created the spirit paper, its corresponding order appeared in the fourth realm.

Previously, the spirit paper took advantage of a loophole to establish itself in the chief worlds. Lu Yun still grasped its order, it didn’t count as the Myriad Spirit Supreme’s. Now that the supreme had a contract, he could openly operate it in the outside realm.

“Ah yes, martial uncle. Please look in on Huangpang,” Lu Yun asked solemnly. “It’s the seed of immortal dao that I’ve sowed in the chief worlds. It’s up to that major world whether or not immortal dao can bloom in the outside realm.”

“Don’t worry, Huang Pang and Mo Fei have grown stronger after their experiences with death. Ordinary supremes are no match for them, and those beyond supreme don’t dare visit that world,” Myriad Spirit smiled.

“Because of the Firmament Prison?” Lu Yun blinked.

“Because of the Firmament Prison.” Myriad Spirit nodded. “Right, Lu Yun, do you want to quickly raise your strength or battle ability? I’ve been keeping an eye on your cultivation and you seem to have wandered off on a tangent. The methods and arts that you cultivate can’t keep up with your current strength. You won’t be able to fully deploy your strength if you don’t have handy combat arts, cultivation methods, or weapons to use.

“You should be a stunning genius, but you’re less than Jiang Kui and the others without the origin hell.” Myriad Spirit paused and added, “Far less!”

Lu Yun started, thinking back to how helpless he’d been in the tomb of the Firmament Army Pagoda. If he could lose the death arts, then he might very well be unable to call upon the origin hell one day.

“Does martial uncle want to help me temper myself?” Lu Yun immediately understood Myriad Spirit’s meaning.
