First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 2311 - Jumping Beyond the Three Realms



Chapter 2311 – Jumping Beyond the Three Realms

But in the end, Su Yi held back.

This wasn’t the opportunity to break through he was looking for. He couldn’t just break through casually whenever he felt like it.

He needed to wait and accumulate strength. Only then could he achieve an unprecedented breakthrough.

Although he’d found an opportunity to break through, too little time had passed since he’d reached the Limit Realm. His tempering and accumulations within the Limit Realm were ultimately insufficient.

If he wanted a supreme breakthrough, he absolutely couldn’t afford to be hasty.

Su Yi took a deep breath. His Dao Heart was like a sword cleaving through his scattered thoughts.

Su Yi walked further in, braving the terrifying power of divine punishment. Soon, he’d arrived in a stretch of ancient, chaotic stretch of starry void.

In an instant, the countless stars lit up, as if awakened from ancient dormancy.

Immediately afterward, they seemed to sense that Su Yi’s vital energy was somehow different. Countless stars whooshed toward him, then revolved around him.

Dazzling and resplendent Supreme Emergence Fortune Power poured down like a waterfall, coursing into Su Yi’s body.

The entire stretch of ancient starry void rumbled.

Su Yi just stood at its center, a divine ring of the Grand Dao reflected around his tall, upright figure. It seemed as deep as an abyss, and it was surrounded by countless stars on all sides.

Like ministers lowering their heads in submission!

The sight would have been enough to shock the entire God Domain. Unfortunately, no one else present could see this mystical scene.

The power of divine punishment obscured Su Yi from view. Only those standing on the peak could see the starry void beyond.

Despite this, the crowd gathered at the foot of the mountain could see the flashing, resplendent, auspicious light in the skies above.

It was like the legendary “divine bestowal of auspicious power.” It illuminated the entire stretch of sky, all of Blue Sky Divine Mountain, and the entirety of the Celestial Capital.

Everyone had shock written all over their faces. Just what is happening to Su Yi up there? What did he do to trigger this unbelievable phenomenon of heaven and earth?

Some people couldn’t help but glance at the Divine Dao Fortune Stele, but to their astonishment, Su Yi’s Grand Dao Divine Ability was nowhere to be found. The names in the top ten hadn’t budged.

This was unquestionably baffling.

“Sir, what’s going on here?” Wan Zitian couldn’t help but ask.

The Mountain Guardian had a rare look of solemnity on his face. “An ancient once said that those who jump out of the three realms are longer within the bounds of the five elements.

“The same is true of Fellow Daoist Su’s Grand Dao Divine Ability. The Divine Dao Fortune Stele cannot measure it, and thus… it cannot rank it!”

Uproar ensued. Everyone was astonished. What kind of terrifying, taboo Grand Dao Divine Ability is this, that not even the Divine Dao Fortune Stele can rank it?

Wen Lu had been in first for almost forty thousand years, but suddenly… his hold on first place didn’t seem as unshakeable as they’d once imagined.

Master God Yun He, Liuxiang Hen, and the other old-timers’ expressions darkened. Each had a heavier heart than the one before.

Su Yi’s performance on Blue Sky Divine Mountain was far beyond their initial estimate. They now understood on a visceral level just how terrifying he was.

A long, long time ago, they’d fought Yi Daoxuan. They’d spent years in conflict with Li Fuyou, too.

But neither Yi Daoxuan nor Li Fuyou seemed anywhere near as terrifying as Su Yi did now!

That was obvious from his “ranking” on the Divine Dao Fortune Stele.

Both Yi Daoxuan and Li Fuyou had once claimed first place, and each held onto the title for thousands of years.

Still, their ranks had been within the stele’s ability to measure and record.

But Su Yi was different!

His Grand Dao Divine Ability was completely beyond the bounds of the Divine Dao Fortune Stele.

That was the most terrifying of all. With latent talent like that, if Su Yi reached the peak of the Undying Realm and became a Nine-Tribulation Master God like his past lives… Who knew how absurdly strong he’d become?

The more they thought about it, the more frightened Master God Yun He and the others felt. This was their first time witnessing Su Yi’s abilities firsthand, but now, any disdain or complacency they’d once felt got up and flew away despite lacking wings.

They were even starting to feel heart-palpitating terror!

Boom!

Auspicious light of the Grand Dao flowed beneath the dome of heaven. A rain of light scattered, and the rumbling and booming of the Dao rang out without end.

Immediately afterward, Su Yi’s tall, upright figure drifted down from the dome of heaven.

All eyes were instantly upon him.

His blue robes swayed around him. Judging purely by his energy fluctuations, he seemed no different from before. He was still calm and detached.

But everyone knew that Su Yi had just acquired an unimaginable quantity of Supreme Emergence Fortune!!

Waves of emotion rose and fell through the crowd’s hearts. All of them responded differently.

The Mountain Guardian’s expression shifted, becoming complicated and inscrutable.

A long, long time ago, he’d met Li Fuyou and Yi Daoxuan too, and he’d watched with his own eyes as they reached the peak with ease.

At the time, he broke his usual rules to have a conversation with each of them, telling them that taking first place was a feat worthy of pride, but at the same time, first place on the Divine Dao Fortune Stele didn’t ultimately mean that much, as someone from a future generation would naturally seize their position one day.

The truly unshakeable rank wasn’t on the stele at all. Rather, it lay beyond it!

The Mountain Guardian had never even considered the possibility that their reincarnation would one day return and actually seize that hidden top spot in the rankings!

And he did it with such ease, too. He didn’t even run into any real danger or obstacles!

Of everyone present, only the Mountain Guardian knew that those who achieved this received a reward far beyond any amount of Supreme Emergence Fortune.

As the crowd watched in astonishment, Su Yi drifted to the foot of the mountain.

Wan Zitian, meanwhile, had been struggling to stay patient for a long time. He said directly, “Old Man Liuxiang, hurry up and kowtow!”

The Mountain Guardian smiled amiably. “The bet is now complete. Fellow Daoist Liuxiang, I’ll have to ask you to bend your knees and lower your head thrice.”

Uproar ensued.

Liuxiang Hen’s face was red and unsightly, and he instinctively looked at Master God Yun He.

“Su Yi cheated, so our terms are no longer binding!” Master God Yun He said coldly. “You might be the Mountain Guardian, but you can’t force us!”

“Oh ho?” The Mountain Guardian frowned. “No one has ever dared to threaten me in the Celestial Capital like this. Who gave you the gall?”

Master God Yun He flipped his palm, and a command token floated into the air. “Is this enough?”

The medallion was black and about the size of a fist. It emanated a strange, inscrutable aura of the Grand Dao.

The Origin Dao Medallion!

Su Yi recognized it at a glance, as Master God Yun He had used it at Skybright Mountain too. When he revealed it, the old monsters of unknown territories had no choice but to heed his orders and leave the battlefield!

And the medallion’s true owner was Lu Shi! An ancient legend who’d stepped onto the River of Destiny in the earliest days of the God Domain’s history!

When the Mountain Lord saw the medallion, his eyes bulged, and he stood there in a daze, his face quivering uncontrollably. It would have been obvious to anyone that he was astonished.

The crowd was instantly stunned. All of them realized that Master God Yun He had come prepared. The medallion was there to help defend against the Mountain Guardian!

After a while, the Mountain Guardian said in a low voice, “Did Dao Venerate Lu send you?”

His face alternated white and green.

“There’s no need to ask me that. I’ll just ask you this. Is this medallion enough to change your mind?” Master God Yun He said calmly.

The Mountain Guardian sank into a lengthy silence, then lowered his head. “Seeing the Origin Dao Medallion is no different from seeing Dao Zenerate Lu in the flesh. How… how could I disobey?”

Uproar ensued as the crowd realized that the medallion was enough to intimidate even the mysterious Mountain Guardian of the Celestial Capital into obedience!

It was thus obvious how great Lu Shi’s prestige was!

Liuxiang Hen was instantly delighted. “So, you had the medallion all along, Daoist Brother Yun He. No wonder you were so confident. Now, I can finally rest assured.”

Master God Yun He smiled, then looked at the Mountain Guardian. “I command you to capture Su Yi! Be quick about it!”

The atmosphere was instantly stifled. Everyone was nervous and on guard. If the Mountain Guardian attacks, who in the Celestial Capital will be able to defend themselves?

Wan Zitian immediately stood in front of Su Yi, readied himself for battle, and said gravely, “Try it if you dare!”

He’d never even considered the possibility that Master God Yun He had such a killer weapon up his sleeve. He could actually command the Mountain Guardian!

The Mountain Guardian, meanwhile, looked deeply conflicted.

“What? Are you going to defy my orders?” Master God Yun He said coldly.

The Mountain Guardian took a deep breath and said, “As the spirit of the stele, I’ve watched over this place since the day of my birth, and I’ve always acted in accordance with the Laws of Supreme Emergence. No matter what, I cannot attack an outsider without just cause!”

He gnashed his teeth, then said slowly and clearly, “Even if Dao Venerate Lu Shi was here in the flesh, I still couldn’t break the rules!”

Master God Yun He snorted coldly. “Very well, I won’t make trouble for you. Just stay out of this. Don’t interfere in our conflict with Su Yi any further!”

The Mountain Guardian had an unsightly look on his face. “Are you going to attack him within city limits?”

“Why shouldn’t we?” Master God Yun He said with a smile. “Don’t tell me you really want to bear the consequences of defying Dao Venerate Lu Shi’s orders?”

The Mountain Guardian sank into a long, deep silence. The atmosphere was so stifling that the crowd could barely breathe.

All of them realized that Su Yi was in big trouble this time!

With the Mountain Guardian overseeing things, no one dared attack anyone else within city limits. Now, the Mountain Guardian could no longer protect Su Yi.

When many of the onlookers next looked at Su Yi, their gazes were pitying.

Wan Zitian’s expression was as dark as could be.

Finally, the Mountain Guardian sighed, faced Su Yi, and clasped his fist. “My apologies. Forgive me, but I’m unable to assist you.”

Su Yi had watched coldly from the sidelines this entire time, but when he heard this, he just chuckled. “There’s no need for you to apologize. It’s actually best that you don’t intervene.”

The crowd was stunned. What does he mean by that?

The Mountain Guardian silently stepped aside.

Everyone realized what this meant. The Mountain Guardian won’t get involved, not even if Master God Yun He kills Su Yi!

Qi Wei, Si Ming, and the others’ hearts clenched.

But against all expectations, Su Yi didn’t even seem to realize the danger he was in. He just swept his gaze across the crowd and said, “Old Man Yun He is right. This grudge is between me and them. Starting now, no one is to intervene, no matter who they are.”

He then turned to look at Wan Zitian. “Ol’ Wan, that goes for you, too. Just step aside and watch.”

He took a step forward, swept his gaze across Master God Yun He and the others, then looked at Liuxiang Hen. “Are you going to be good and kowtow of your own accord, or am I going to have to help you?”
