After Yun Mo had screwed up and caused trouble for his seniors, he died a worthless, pitiful death in the hands of the Green Lotus Immortal King.

Wu Yu originally intended to go out and search for an Immortal King Token after he had grown strong enough to face the Immortal Slayer Palace’s assassination attempts.

He hadn’t foreseen Yun Mo’s betrayal, which led to him easily getting an Immortal King Token.

This was a major event held every 5,000 years. Only one year had passed, and he had already successfully acquired an Immortal King Token.

This was excellent news.

Now he could focus on training and preparing for the competition to get a Mark of an Immortal King.

Wu Yu’s goal was to marry Luo Pin in a grand wedding in 120 years. They would then be able to live openly as a married couple.

As a man, this was the least that he had to give Luo Pin.

She had given up a lot for him and loved him whole-heartedly. The two of them had experienced so much together, from their ascension from the mortal domain to the heavenly domain. Wu Yu would not let her continue taking the long path of immortality alone.

She was still waiting for him now.

Wu Yu followed Xu Zidong and the others and settled down in Benevolent Immortal City. Next, they focused all their attention on training.

He shared with Luo Pin that he had gotten an Immortal King Token. After hearing the news, she was naturally very happy for him. These days, Luo Pin was busy training after receiving the Eight Division Heavenly Dragon Legacy.

The Eight Division Heavenly Dragon Avatar and the Archaic Divine Dragon Emperor Mantra were cultivation arts designed specifically for the mystical dragon tribe. Luo Pin’s future was boundless.

Perhaps countless years from now, if her training went smoothly, Luo Pin might become stronger than the Nine Great Dragon Emperors. Wu Yu thought that in the future, if he could also arrive at the highest sky palaces, hold a post, and live forever together with Luo Pin, his life would be perfect. Wu Yu did not need a high position like the Dhrtarastra, but he aimed to be at least an eternal immortal emperor. He and Luo Pin would become the immortal couple that everyone would be envious of.

That was his goal for the future.

Of course, now that they had received the four immortals’ legacies, Wu Yu needed to find out about the secrets hidden in their legacies.

Xu Zidong and his group had prepared well. After experiencing so many incidents, it was obvious that they would not be wandering about before the Great Void Immortal Path opened.

They spent a hefty amount to stay in an expensive immortal inn. Compared to Mystical Resonance Immortal City, they would be safer in the inn. It was not cheap to pay for a 20-year stay.

Without Xu Zidong and the others, Wu Yu would not be able to afford to stay at such a safe place.

Wu Yu was still very grateful to them since they had given him the Immortal King Token.

For the following 19 years, Wu Yu had a good time with Xu Zidong’s group, and they gradually grew closer. They had treated Wu Yu as their young brother from the Great Ancient Ink Realm and had taken care of him well. Obviously, they had treated Yun Mo just as well before, but Yun Mo had grown proud and haughty because of the love and care that he had received from them.

They had strong characters and were indeed generous people. They also understood the joys of life. Wu Yu was happy to spend time with them.

"Obviously, one should lead a carefree life in pursuing the Immortal Dao. Otherwise, what’s the point of becoming an immortal?" Xu Zidong often declared cheerfully.

"If I can become an immortal king one day, even if I may not be able to rule a sky palace, I will work hard to get a piece of a sky region, or a border region. At that time, my brothers and sisters can roam around in my territory freely and live a carefree immortal life."

This was Xu Zidong’s dream. He had grown tired of leading a wandering life. He wanted to earn a piece of territory to become a truly happy and satisfied immortal. This was his aim.

It was a precious dream, just like Wu Yu’s pursuit of perfection in immortality arts.

Hence, each time the Great Void Immortal Path opened, it became Xu Zidong’s priority. He wanted to gain a peaceful territory for the sake of his younger siblings and the immortals from the Great Ancient Ink Realm.

Wu Yu spent most of his time training in the Floating Dreams Pagoda. A small portion of his time was spent chatting and playing with Xu Zidong’s group.

In order to avoid unwanted attention and suspicion, they often had to change their position and move into different immortal inns. They had to do this to avoid assassination attempts. It was a heart-pounding experience. As the time for the opening of the Great Void Immortal Path neared, the immortal lords became crazier in order to get their Immortal King Tokens.

During these few days, the Benevolent Immortal Emperor of Benevolent Immortal City had slain many rebels. However, there were still many people who had taken great risks in order to get an Immortal King Token.

On the other hand, Wu Yu was training calmly and peacefully. He knew that he would be competing for a Mark of an Immortal King. The most important factor in this competition was still his strength. Hence, his goal was to become stronger.

After all, he was still the weakest in the team. Even Yang Wenlan was stronger than him.

Of course, they were all seniors, so it was only normal that they were stronger than Wu Yu.

Wu Yu realized that even from the perspective of a 4-realm immortal lord, it was still quite difficult to study his own dao. The more he advanced in the path of immortality, the more he needed experience and talent. Moreover, it was impossible to improve as quickly as he once did, as the path of immortality was vast and complex. He would need to spend more time and energy to ponder and deduce his dao. The road of immortality was wide like the sea, and Wu Yu only controlled a drop of water. He still had a long way to go before he could control the whole sea.

Wu Yu had 1,000 years of time inside the Floating Dreams Pagoda. He got stuck at one problem and had to think for a long time before he could find a solution. He knew clearly that if he wanted to improve quicker, he would have to devour a being that was stronger than a 7-realm immortal lord. Devouring beings that were at higher cultivation levels would enable Wu Yu to gain more experience and strength.

At present, he had better prepare thoroughly and stabilize the strength of his cultivation level.

Now it was really dangerous outside. If he was not careful, he could lose his life. Wu Yu was not in a hurry. He knew that his devouring had to be well-controlled. He had to train more so that his foundation would be more stable. Otherwise, he would definitely become the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord in his haste to grow stronger.

His eighth immortal dao mark was the Dao of Time Manipulation.

When he formed his seventh immortal dao mark, the Dao of the Void, Wu Yu had wondered about his eighth immortal dao mark.

That was something it would have to surpass the Dao of the Void.

He spent a lot of time thinking of something that could surpass the Dao of the Void.

Finally, he took some inspiration from the Floating Dreams Pagoda and understood that the one thing more profound than the Void was the flow of time.

While changing the speed of time was only a subcategory of the subject of controlling time, mastery of it would be shocking enough. It would be extraordinary.

𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The key was that he knew that no matter which immortal lord he devoured, none would have experience in the Dao of Time Manipulation. Hence, other people’s perspectives and views could only provide reference. Most importantly, Wu Yu had to study it on his own. Just the Dao of Time Manipulation used up 1,000 years of Wu Yu’s time!

He finally understood why others had to cultivate for thousands of years.

The road of immortality was vast, and even nine yuans of time would not be considered too long.

Now that he had become an 8-xuan immortal possessing eight immortal dao marks, it would become even more difficult for him to think of his last immortal dao mark.

His ninth and last immortal dao mark had to be perfection, something stronger than the Dao of Time Manipulation.

In contrast, the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Buddha Body was slightly simpler. Relying on his excellent insight and plenty of time, Wu Yu had cultivated the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Buddha Body to the ninth tier.

Wu Yu’s buddha molecules had been divided into two and they split nine times repeatedly. Now he was filled with the power of the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Buddha Body, and this boosted his strength greatly. Although Wu Yu was only an 8-xuan immortal, his combat power had rapidly improved. He had spent 1,000 years in the Floating Dreams Pagoda, but only 19 years had passed outside.

During this period of time, although Wu Yu had spent most of his time studying the Dao of Time Manipulation, he had also finally successfully understood the fifth tier of the Somersault Cloud.

The fourth tier, Immortal Cloud Field, transformed again when Wu Yu broke through to the fifth tier, the Sky Cloud Realm.

At the moment, to Wu Yu, the power of the Sky Cloud Realm was as strong as an autonomous realm. Being able to reach the Sky Cloud Realm was equivalent to Wu Yu having his own autonomous realm. Of course, in the future, when he could create his own autonomous realm, he would have other transformations.

The wonders of the Sky Cloud Realm were endless. The Somersault Cloud was the most powerful of his four great mystiques.

The Great Void Immortal Path was finally about to open.

Now all the people possessing Immortal King Tokens would rush to the Sublime Gracious Divine Region.

In half a month, the Sublime Gracious Divine Region would open, and only those with Immortal King Token could enter.

The journey from the nine immortal cities to the Sublime Gracious Divine Region was the last opportunity for immortal lords to intercept and snatch Immortal King Tokens.

Every time, many would die or be injured during this journey. There would also be a large number of immortal lords who would fall into other people’s traps. These vicious fights would not exist in the immortal palaces that people imagined.

The most dangerous moment had arrived.

During this period of time, everyone in the Ancient Ink Camp became a little nervous.

Wu Yu knew that he had made great progress. Before they set out, Xu Zidong was still encouraging the group. Wu Yu stood up and said, "Brothers and sister, I would like to take you all to the Sublime Gracious Divine Region alone using the method that we used previously. Otherwise, we will be too big of a target as a group."

In fact, Wu Yu intended to have everyone enter the Sublime Gracious Divine Region together. He would bring them all there quickly.

"The method that we used previously?" Everyone remembered that previously, Wu Yu had become small and frighteningly fast. That was how he had brought them from Mystical Resonance Immortal City to Benevolent Immortal City.

"That’s right. Everyone, please take a look." Wu Yu transformed in the blink of an eye. He used the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth to shrink rapidly. In the end, Wu Yu was a small person who was less than half an inch tall. Without careful observation, Wu Yu would be difficult to detect. Moreover, after his body became smaller, no matter what he did, it was very convenient.

"Shall I be the one to ferry everyone to the Sublime Gracious Divine Region or should Wu Yu do it? What do you all think?" Xu Zidong gave his team a choice.

Yang Wenlan said, "Of course it should be Wu Yu. You are too large and easy to target. Besides, you might not be as fast as him. We have witnessed his growth in these 19 years. I might not even be a match for him now."

"I also choose Wu Yu. Ha ha...." Everyone burst out laughing.

"Alright, you bunch of rascals, changing your loyalties so easily. Are you all trying to force me to step down?" Xu Zidong grinned.

"That’s right, I have been aiming to kick you out. Quick, it should be my turn to be the boss now." Even Qin Chuan was joking now.

After joking around for a while, the whole group got ready to head out. Xu Zidong said, "Wu Yu, the responsibility to take everyone to the Sublime Gracious Divine Region falls on you. There are too many people blocking our way to the Great Void Immortal Path. You have to be more careful."

Wu Yu nodded.

"Let’s go."

The whole team entered Wu Yu’s Floating Dreams Pagoda together and he exited the Immortal Inn in his original size. Even though this was the relatively peaceful Benevolent Immortal City, there was a smell of blood wafting about in the air. Many people outside were monitoring the inn intently. It was obvious that these onlookers were up to no good.
