Chapter 1607: Land of Immortal’s Fall

Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment he removed the mark of the inheritance flower on his forehead, a sense of relaxation from his consciousness transformed into invisible ripples that spread in Xu Qing’s heart.

The sensation enveloped his entire being, extending beneath his feet and dissipating into the void.

Dao was not distant, but within him, where all things are empty in form, yet not in nature.

Severing the karmic connection with the inheritance flower caused Xu Qing’s Dao to no longer diffuse outward.

Through his actions, he conveyed to the being who sought to borrow his Dao…

‘I refuse to lend it!’

Afterward, he ascended into the sky, treading across the heavens. His long black hair billowed in the wind, and his blue robe fluttered. With every step, he moved farther and farther away.

“Although the number of Ordinances can affect one’s combat strength, there must be a limit. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a thing as cutting off one’s additional Ordinance and giving it away as an inheritance.”

“Those Lower Immortals who gave away the inheritance of the Ordinance naturally know that what truly determines their realm is the completeness of the Ordinance, not the number.”

“So, to me, I don’t need those additional Ordinances.”

“What I need… is to walk further and make my space-time Ordinance more complete!”

Xu Qing looked into the distance where there were endless crimson auroras.

“The Ordinance of space-time was founded upon the five elements, with time and space forming the platform. Upon this foundation, it soared to new heights, a testament to its profound and solid base.”

“Throughout history, it’s impossible for me to be the only one to comprehend the space-time Ordinance. In fact, the moment this Ordinance was formed… I had already gained clarity.”

“On the path ahead, there are others who pursue the same Ordinance, but their numbers are extremely few, and… none have reached the end.”

“Some stopped, and some changed directions.”

“This path doesn’t have a source yet.”

Xu Qing pondered as he moved forward.

He had a feeling that when he comprehended the space-time Ordinance to a deeper level, whether he could form the ninth extremity or not, his cultivation would definitely make a breakthrough level under the influence of the Ordinance.

It would form the ninth world and he would advance to the Ruler Realm!

“Then what’s the deeper level…”

Xu Qing fell silent.

He walked between heaven and earth, in space-time. Sometimes, his soul would descend to search for clues, and sometimes, his soul would extend to the future to search for answers.

Seven days later, his footsteps stopped and space-time also transformed into waves.

He raised his head and looked ahead.

There was a mountain range ahead with seventeen mountains, and on each peak, a pool.

The water in these pools was clear, round like a full moon, and beside each stood a stone platform with a pavilion.

The pavilion had eight corners, and on the surface of the inner platform appeared carvings of geographic totems.

This place was known as the Seventeen Pools of Earth Rule, where the rules of the earth resided.

By the edges of the pools, many rare flowers and exotic plants grew, absorbing and exuding the energy of immortal energy. Over the years, the spiritual aura had become dense and potent.

Occasionally, the spiritual energy would manifest into the forms of various beings, playing out the myriad phases of life.

This created a strange and wondrous spectacle.

For countless years, if any ordinary mortal accidentally wandered into this place, they would often experience it as a fleeting dream. Upon waking, they would be left bewildered.

However, this place held no malice toward anyone who entered.

This was why it had survived until now and cultivators often came to search for the Dao.

As he stared at these, Xu Qing thought of the description of this geographical pool in the ancient scroll recorded by Yunmen Qianfan.

Other than those from before, there was also a legend about the stone platform’s totems.

Legend had it that this place was left behind by a great cultivator from ancient times, who had traveled across the entirety of the Fifth Star Ring. His path was one of measurement, and he had mapped out the geography of the entire Fifth Star Ring.

That was why this place was known as the Earth Rules.

However, as time passed, people gradually couldn’t see the totem clearly. They could only see blurry graffiti and it was difficult to see its true meaning.

Because its true intent was absorbed by the pool water all year round, it had already fused into the pool water.

Hence, every time the two aurora vortex suns alternated, if someone stared at the pool water, they would be able to reflect the desires and obsessions in their hearts, allowing them to see through their inner world.

This was also one of the reasons why many cultivators cultivated here.

It hoped to purify the mind and reach the sublimation of the mind.

As his thoughts filled the air, Xu Qing strode forward.

He walked up a peak and walked toward the prosperity of all living beings that had manifested beside the peak pool.

That place was like the world. Life, old age, illness, death, joy, separation, and reunion.

The moment they got close, the living beings transformed from plants instantly stopped moving. After that, they lowered their heads in unison and knelt down in front of Xu Qing.

“The fruit is dense in spirituality.”

Xu Qing nodded and walked to the stone platform, looking at the geographical totems on it.

A long time later, he shook his head slightly.

“It’s not my Dao.”

After that, he continued to look at the Dao shadow in the water.

At first glance, it was a blur.

At the second glance, his body was reflected.

It was incomparably clear.

Xu Qing fell silent. After a long time… he still shook his head and didn’t look at it a third time.

This place indeed contained the Dao, but unfortunately… it wasn’t what he had found.

Hence, Xu Qing took a step and walked to the Second Peak. He looked at all the seventeen peaks along the way but to no avail. After that, he left and continued south.

Over a month later, they arrived at the Cloud Mud Basin.

This basin was located south of the geodesic pool and was surrounded by mountains.

There were many clouds and mist inside, like smoke.

The medium-sized soil was as fine as fat and was suitable for planting.

Moreover, it grew a strange flower called the Cloud Soil Lotus.

The flower petals were like clouds and emitted an endless fragrance.

In Yunmen Qianfan’s records, it was said that this lotus flower could purify one’s soul, causing one’s mind to be pure and understand the Dao of heaven and earth.

Hence, there were red-crowned cranes guarding this place. They would occasionally dance, attracting the attention of hundreds of birds.

It was a scene of the Immortal Land.

Xu Qing arrived and walked into the cloud mud. He gently stroked the immortal crane and plucked the petals of a cloud mud lotus amidst the surrounding birds.

When it landed in his hand, this petal was illusory and ethereal, like a cloud.

It indeed possessed some power to purify one’s mind. However, to Xu Qing, his heart was firm and didn’t need to be purified.

Even if there was an obsession, it couldn’t be melted by this flower.

Hence, he only stayed for three days before walking into the sky.

Further south, mortals wouldn’t be able to reach it even in a hundred lifetimes. It would also take the sovereign more than a month.

The Plains of the Fallen Immortals.

The plains were vast and covered in green grass.

There was a rainbow crossing the sky. The colorful clouds were ethereal, like a dream.

It attracted Xu Qing’s attention.

This scene was almost impossible to see in other places in the Fifth Star Ring. The auroras were all red.

Only this place was surrounded by seven colors.

Hence, in Yunmen Qianfan’s records, there was a legend about the aurora.

Legend had it that this place was the source of the aurora.

Xu Qing fell into deep thought as he stared at the plains and the rainbows.

He thought of the Aurora Immortal Lord that Li Mengtu had mentioned.

This immortal lord was once the leader of the immortal lords. Because he rebelled, he was killed by the Venerable Immortal. He took his Ordinance and transformed it into an aurora, landing his spirit here.

Hence, the plains were known as the Immortal Fall.

On the plains, there were not only plants but also countless meteors.

The large ones were like mountains, while the small ones were like beans. All of them shone brightly and there were thousands of auspicious auras.

Its aura was ancient.

They didn’t come from outer space and contained legends.

Legend had it that these meteors were leftovers from when he filled up the Fifth Star Ring’s starry sky.

It contained a mysterious power.

Looking at these, a dark glint slowly appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes.

His body didn’t sense much about this place but as his thoughts spread, he sensed something different.

“There are resentments here…”

“This thought waves the spirit qi and transforms it into an invisible sea.”

Xu Qing mumbled.

He continued forward and walked on the plains beside the meteors.

He had also raised his hand to touch it, covered it with his divine sense, and looked at it in spacetime.

However, what he touched was empty air!

His thoughts were empty!

Even if one looked at spacetime, it was empty!

This scene caused Xu Qing to suddenly stop in his tracks.

“As expected, it’s the place where the Immortal Master died…”

“There might be a Dao I need here.”

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and continued forward.

He sensed his surroundings and sensed the wind blowing past, sensing the peace here.

His heart was also immersed and became ethereal.

After a long time, when he was about to reach the center of the Immortal Meteor Plains, a resistance suddenly arrived. It landed on Xu Qing’s body and became an obstruction, preventing him from moving forward.

When it landed in his soul, it became a rumbling bell that echoed through space and time.

It caused its ethereality to shatter and its thoughts to awaken.

He lifted his head and saw a huge stone tablet in the distance.

It was engraved with ancient runes.

He didn’t know its origin.

However, one could sense how vast it was.

After a long time, Xu Qing retracted his gaze.

“This place isn’t in spacetime.”

Xu Qing sat cross-legged and closed his eyes outside the barrier.

He tried to explore.

Just like that, the wind blew and the aurora flowed.

A few months later, some people arrived on the Immortal Meteor Plains.

They arrived from different directions and their destination was the stone tablet in the center of the plains.

Moreover, unlike Xu Qing, the obstacles they encountered were brought forward.

Hence, they surrounded the stone tablet and sat cross-legged at different distances.

During this time, he also noticed Xu Qing.

At a glance, their expressions changed and their hearts palpitated intensely.

On one hand, he saw Xu Qing’s location. On the other hand, he had a faint feeling.

Among these people, one of them felt his heart churning even more intensely. In fact, his face even turned pale and he wanted to choose to retreat…

However, before his figure could express his thoughts through his actions, Xu Qing opened his eyes and calmly looked over.

“Come.”

This glance caused that person’s mind to rumble and his breathing to become hurried, as though the sky was collapsing.

At the same time, it also formed a path that cut through the obstacles between Xu Qing and the person he was looking at.

Hence, a word came out of his mouth and it became heaven’s will, a command.

This caused that person to not dare to retreat.

He could only walk toward Xu Qing with difficulty step by step. He barely got close and bowed respectfully.

“Long time no see, Earth Spirit Ancestor.”

Xu Qing slowly spoke.

The person who walked over was none other than the ancestor of the earth spirit lineage who had appeared in the Time Desert and agreed to share the key when Xu Qing was sending Yunmen Qianfan off earlier.

The earth spirit ancestor smiled bitterly.

It had indeed been a long time since they last met, but no matter what, he never expected that when they met again, the other party already had an Ordinance.

That glance made him feel as though he was walking on thin ice. His life and death were uncontrollable.

At that moment, when he recalled seeing the other party in the Time Desert back then, he seemed to have some signs.

Those who could control the time storm weren’t ordinary people.

The statue formed by the heaven’s chosen in his family was still standing outside the desert.

It wasn’t injustice.

“If Fellow Daoist doesn’t like it, I can give up on the key.”

The earth spirit took a deep breath and calmly spoke. After saying that, he lifted his hand and took out a jade bottle.

It contained a drop of blood.

That was the blood of the Cloud Sect’s ancestor, containing the key.

After placing this jade bottle in front of Xu Qing, the earth spirit lowered its head and waited for an answer.

A long time later, Xu Qing calmly spoke.

“What’s the origin of that stone tablet?”

When the earth spirit heard this, it lifted its head and glanced at the vast stone tablet in the distance. It didn’t dare to hide it from Xu Qing and spoke in a low voice.

“This is the place where the Aurora Immortal Master’s spirit fell and also the place where his immortal palace collapsed back then.”

“That stone tablet… is the gate-guarding stone of the Aurora Immortal Palace!”
