Chapter 1934 – A Three Hundred and Sixty-Fifth Rank Connate Lotus Flower
Grand Supreme Cen Sui wasn’t a hapless brute. Having lived for so many years, even his eyelashes brimmed with shrewdness. Lu Yun was casually threatening him that if he dared leave this area, a peak grand supreme would come for him whether or not he revealed the young man’s whereabouts.
He didn’t know who the other two peak grand supremes were, but the foremost powerhouse from the Autumnus Realm had entered the Land of Reincarnation the moment it opened. Lu Yun revealing his identity to Cen Sui was meant to drag the man down into his troubles.
There was most certainly a bit of the peak grand supremes’ will on the young man. It would protect him in crucial moments, so Lu Yun had been wholly without fear from beginning to end.
He released a bit of it now, leaving Cen Sui no choice but to believe him!
It didn’t matter how many peak supremes stood behind the young man, just one was enough to claim his life!
“I don’t have much in mind, just come take a walk with me in that vortex,” Lu Yun said after momentary thought.
“You’re crazy!” Cen Sui jumped with shock. When he saw the vortex from Lu Yun’s eyes, he could immediately tell that he would be ripped to pieces by horrific disordered forces if he took another step forward. “Not going!”
The grand supreme shook his head rapidly. Nothing but death awaited him if he entered, and he just had to keep his mouth shut if he didn’t. Peak grand supremes wouldn’t lower themselves to bullying the weak.
“I’ll go with you since he’s a coward,” Wu Ru’s voice rang out. He’d returned after his departure!
Or rather, he’d hid nearby all this time with the shamanic arts. Lu Yun and Cen Sui hadn’t discovered his presence.
It wasn’t like Lu Yun was concerned, in either case.
“Really?” Lu Yun brightened.
“You’re not a fool and won’t simply go to your death like this. Since you’re willing to venture in, you must be assured of your safety and success. Plus, helping you here means meeting a peak grand supreme in good faith. There is only upside for me.
“Additionally, I want to seek what is mine in the disordered vortex!” Wu Ru was dressed in long black robes, his long hair starkly offsetting fair skin. Every single strand of his hair seemed to glow with a dim hue.
He was a grand supreme of shamanic dao, a great dao that shared the same roots as shamanic dao in the World of Immortals. The version in the chief worlds, however, had progressed far beyond the one in the World of Immortals. At the same time, the one in the World of Immortals had submitted to immortal dao and become shamanic immortal dao.
As immortal dao grew stronger, so did all great daos under its banner.
Wu Ru was the greatest heavyweight of shamanic dao. All that was this great dao centered on him and there was no one more accomplished than him in this dao.
Shamanic dao was constantly shifting and impossible to predict. Not even Lu Yun could calculate what exact combat arts could be found within. The art that’d connected him to Grand Supreme Cen Sui was a prime example of something he’d never encountered before.
“Alright!” Lu Yun nodded. “I’ll help you get what you want, but you must help me get what I want as well!”
“What do you want? Is there something else in that vortex?” Cen Sui joined their conversation. Wu Ru made a lot of sense. It’d be wonderful to leave a good impression on a peak grand supreme.
Since Lu Yun bore a peak grand supreme’s mark, that meant that the revered personage deeply valued the young man. This was special treatment that some disciples might not even receive! When Lu Yun met with danger, the mark would activate and summon the peak grand supreme or their replica in person.
It was originally meant for use against the creatures of darkness, but Lu Yun had discovered that the treasure inside the vortex was more important than the endarkened!
This was why he exposed himself—he had to get that connate treasure no matter what!
By now, both Cen Sui and Wu Ru felt that there weren’t any treasures in the enormous disordered vortex. That connate treasure was just a trap.
As for who’d set the trap, no one knew. But it wouldn’t be anyone with kind intentions.
“That can wait until we’re inside.” The star that’d been used for a vehicle reappeared in Lu Yun’s hand with a casual wave.
“Um…” Wu Ru shuffled awkwardly. That star had been so durable that it’d smashed a grand supreme’s head open. He’d seized it for that alone and shoved it into his seed storage. Who would’ve thought that it’d come flying back out when Lu Yun waved a hand?
“A peak grand supreme bestowed this on me and I’ve refined it a bit. Did you think you could just take it?” Lu Yun snorted with laughter.
He had indeed obtained it from Yun Yi, but not as a gift. He’d carted it out from Yun Yi’s seed storage. Preparations had to be made if he was to head for the tomb of the empyrean supreme.
Mo Yi’s obvious consideration for him made Qiu Feishan and Yun Yi view him in a different light. When Lu Yun wanted the star, Yun Yi gave it to him without hesitation. After a bit of refinement, the star became a formidable treasure of order.
A ray of silver splendor bloomed from the star’s surface when Lu Yun tapped it. A three hundred and sixty-fifth ranked lotus of pure silver light gracefully unfurled its petals. This was no star, it was a connate lotus of three hundred and sixty-five rank! It’d just been curled into a ball.
That particular ranking referenced the chief worlds and made it a preeminent connate treasure among the chief worlds. Yun Yi had disguised it as a star, otherwise Lu Yun would’ve been robbed as soon as he set off with it.
“I thought there was something familiar about it! It's His Reverence Yun Yi’s connate Snow Lotus!” Cen Sui swallowed hard while color drained from Wu Ru’s face. He’d just tried to steal from Yun Yi! Thankfully, he hadn’t gotten far or the peak grand supreme would’ve slapped him to death through the void.
A powerful force of order flared from the Snow Lotus as it blossomed. Lu Yun set foot on it and accepted the force flowing through him.
He shouldn’t have been able to refine order so quickly, but the Snow Lotus had been without attribute. Once it was dyed with order, it became an ultimate treasure of order and the basis for Lu Yun cultivating order. When he meditated earlier, he’d sat cross-legged on the lotus in the form of a star.
It could wipe away the lingering effects after his hasty ascension, but Cen Sui had neatly taken care of that problem. The two grand supremes hastily took their places on the lotus; their reservations melted away after learning that Yun Yi supported Lu Yun and boldness marked their actions.
A terrible tearing came from all sides, but the forces of disorder transmuted into a gentle breeze when they drew near to the treasure. Yun Yi had enhanced the power of order within the flower, raising it to greater heights than it would reach under Lu Yun.
