61: Millions of disciples come to the fairyland and the master wins easily

The massive crater left behind after Hu Buwei's five thousand Immortal Generals were vaporized by the Chaos Thunder Prison was still smoking. The Star Palace square was deathly silent, and the newly surrendered servant disciples knelt on the ground, trembling like sieves, not daring to lift their heads.

Lin Xuan brushed his sleeves as if he had just swatted a few noisy flies. He narrowed his eyes, looking towards the hazy skyline in the direction of the Immortal Alliance Headquarters. Cooperation? It could be discussed. But before talking to those insects from the Immortal Alliance, he had to make his own strength clear.

"Immortal General Liu," Lin Xuan's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable power, "Guard our home well, and keep a close eye on the newcomers. Without my order, don't let a single fly in or out."

"Understood!" Liu Ruyan straightened her back, her longsword clanging back into its sheath, her eyes sharp as an eagle's.

Lin Xuan nodded, then stepped out, his figure already deep within the Star Main Hall, a hundred zhang high. Chaos starlight flowed within the hall, reflecting his deep black robes. Without any delay, he activated his Law-Breaking Chaos Eyes!

His vision was instantly stretched and penetrated infinitely! What lay before him was no longer the scene inside the hall, but countless layers of stacked, twisted, and broken spatial barriers. Violent void currents, desolate star-dust ruins, and the tattered remains of worlds gnawed by swarms of insects—countless bizarre and kaleidoscopic scenes flashed rapidly before his eyes. Lin Xuan's divine sense, like the most precise probe, pierced through layers of barriers, disregarding the constraints of distance, sweeping wildly.

After an unknown period, a vast battlefield, shrouded in an endless grey-black mist, filled with a pungent smell of blood and destructive aura, suddenly branded itself into his perception!

Abyss! The familiar aura of Burial King City was deep within the mist, cold and murderous, the absolute core where Yun Qingyao was stationed!

Found it!

With a thought from Lin Xuan, a highly condensed phantom, constructed from Chaos starlight, silently crossed an unknown terrifying distance of tens of thousands of miles, instantly projecting into the cold and murderous main hall of the Abyss Burial King City.

"Master?" Yun Qingyao, who was just deducing the battle situation in front of a giant sand table, suddenly looked up, her clear, moon-like eyes instantly filled with surprise. Behind her, Leng Yuechan of the Nirvana Sword Hall, Yu Lin who was gnawing on some hard ore, and several other disciples with powerful auras all abruptly stood up.

Lin Xuan's phantom glanced around, his gaze falling on Yun Qingyao, and he got straight to the point: "Qing Yao, inform Chu Xinghe to immediately set up spatial array nodes according to this diagram in the core area of the Abyss Burial King City!" A complex array diagram, constructed from pure divine sense, instantly entered Yun Qingyao's sea of consciousness.

"Yes!" Yun Qingyao didn't hesitate for a moment, her clear voice carrying a decisive resolution, "Junior Brother Xinghe!"

"Coming!" In a corner of the hall, a young man with messy hair, who was buried in a pile of array disk models with flashing lights, jumped up at the sound. It was his second disciple, Chu Xinghe. He took the array diagram transmitted by Yun Qingyao, and after just one glance, his eyes burst with astonishing brilliance, and he spoke incoherently with excitement: "This structure! These spatial anchor points! It's too ingenious! Master, you are going to—"

"Stop the nonsense!" Lin Xuan's phantom interrupted him, "Set up the array immediately! For the core of the array, use the most solid materials! It must be able to withstand the terrifying pressure of tearing open a two-realm passage!"

"Understood! I guarantee it will be even sturdier than dismantling the Asura Clan's siege hammers!" Chu Xinghe howled, scooped up the pile of array disk models, and rushed out like the wind, still muttering, "Dismantling homes, no, infrastructure maniac mode activated!"

Lin Xuan's gaze swept over the other disciples: "Qing Yao, Yue Chan, and all of you, when the array is complete, that will be the day you are infused with immortal energy and break through to the Immortal Rank! All disciples of the Abyss, prepare yourselves!"

Boom! Lin Xuan's words were like pouring cold water into boiling oil. Breaking through to the Immortal Rank! Infusion of immortal energy! All the disciples, especially those whose cultivation was stuck at the Tribulation Transcendence bottleneck, instantly began to breathe heavily, their eyes burning with an almost fanatical flame. The Immortal Rank, that was a realm they had never dared to imagine before!

"We will obey Master's command!" Inside the hall, the sound roared like thunder, and killing intent soared to the sky.

Lin Xuan's phantom nodded slightly, then dissipated as if it had never appeared.

Immortal Realm, deep within the Star Main Hall.

Lin Xuan's true body opened its eyes, and the chaotic light slowly receded from their depths. He stepped out of the hall, his figure appearing on the main hall's dome, which pierced the clouds. Below his feet was the core area of the ten-thousand-mile Dao Field, where the chaos spiritual rice fields surged with golden waves, and the nirvana vermilion bird grass emitted a scorching divine radiance.

"System," Lin Xuan murmured in his mind, "Lock onto the Abyss array eye coordinates set up by Chu Xinghe, activate the sect's fortune lever, target: open a two-realm passage, and draw Immortal Realm immortal energy to pour into the Abyss!"

Ding! Coordinates locked successfully. Activating sect's fortune lever, consuming fortune points: one million points! Beginning to construct a cross-realm spatial passage!

Buzz!

Above the entire Star Palace, the Chaos starlight grand array that originally enveloped the ten-thousand-mile Dao Field suddenly erupted with unprecedented light! Countless profound runes seemed to come alive, rapidly circulating, combining, and condensing in the void. Deep within the Star Palace, the dormant Chaos Thunder Tribulation Pool also trembled slightly. The laws of destruction and creation contained within the pool were activated, transforming into dense chaotic electric snakes, merging into the light flow of the grand array.

A colossal pillar of light, purely composed of highly condensed Chaos starlight and destructive lightning, suddenly shot up from the dome of the Star Palace Main Hall! The light pillar tore through the sky, piercing deep into the vast star sea! Wherever the light pillar passed, space was forcibly twisted and folded, and a massive bridge, visible to the naked eye, composed of countless swirling nebulae and leaping lightning, was rapidly forming in the void!

Abyss, Burial King City.

Chu Xinghe was completely mad. He floated above the central square of Burial King City. Countless array disks flashing with complex runes, massive metal pillars engraved with spatial dao patterns, and various rare materials emitting terrifying spatial fluctuations, as if controlled by an invisible giant hand, flew wildly around him, combining, and embedding into the pre-planned nodes.

"Core reinforced! Spatial anchor points, nail them down! Energy circuits in parallel! Faster, faster, faster!" He roared until his throat was hoarse, but his eyes gleamed with extreme excitement. The entire Burial King City was shaking, and immense energy was continuously drawn to the center of the square.

Just as the last array eye core, shimmering with a chaotic hue, was precisely embedded into the center of the array diagram!

Rumble!

An indescribably magnificent and brilliant pillar of chaotic light, disregarding the filthy and viscous spatial barriers of the Abyss, descended with a roar from beyond the endless void, like a heaven-opening divine sword, precisely pouring into the array eye core that Chu Xinghe had just finished setting up!

Buzz!

The entire Burial King City trembled violently under this supreme power from the Immortal Realm! The array eye core erupted with billions of rays of light, instantly forming a gigantic light shield covering the entire Burial King City!

Immediately after, an indescribable aura—pure, vast, imbued with supreme etherealness and vitality—burst forth like a released flood from where the light pillar descended!

Immortal energy! Dense, primordial Immortal Realm immortal energy!

"Now!" Yun Qingyao's clear voice resounded throughout Burial King City, "All disciples, absorb with all your might, break through your bottlenecks!"

"Roar!"

"Immortal energy! It really is immortal energy!"

"Breaking through! Today is the day!"

Millions of figures soared into the sky from every corner of Burial King City! There were armored legion cultivators, sharp-willed sword cultivators, muscular warrior monks, and fierce demonic ape beasts controlling flames. They surged towards the torrent of immortal energy like desert travelers who had been thirsty for billions of years, greedily devouring it!

Immortal energy entered their bodies!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dense breakthrough roars, like popping beans, instantly swept through the entire Burial King City! Every pore gushed with colorful light, and every breath stirred the resonance of heaven and earth! Countless auras belonging to the Mahayana and Tribulation Transcendence stages rapidly ascended and transformed like bamboo shoots after rain! Fragments of immortal dao laws manifested and intertwined in the void, forming magnificent and majestic phenomena!

In the core area, Yun Qingyao and the fifteen direct disciples were enveloped by the densest immortal qi. Behind Yun Qingyao, a giant illusory image of a cold moon slowly rose. Wherever the moonlight touched, even the violent immortal qi was frozen and tamed. Her aura surged towards the Tribulation Transcension Peak at a terrifying speed!

Beneath Chu Xinghe, a chaotic formation diagram covering the entire city emerged, madly devouring immortal qi to temper his body!

Leng Yuechan's Nirvana Sword Intent became even purer, as if it could sever causality!

Around Linglong, demonic sounds materialized, and the melody of the Ten Thousand Demons Frenzy Song resonated with the immortal qi!

The immortal qi infusion lasted for a full hour. When the vast torrent of immortal qi gradually subsided and the light barrier covering Burial King City slowly dissipated, the aura of the entire Heavenly Abyss Battlefield had undergone an earth-shattering change!

Nearly five million Mahayana cultivators! Their auras were stable, imbued with immortal light, and every movement carried the charm of the immortal path!

Nearly one million Tribulation Transcension cultivators! Their immortal power surged, laws intertwined, and their pressure was as deep as an abyss and as fearsome as a prison!

And in the innermost square, Yun Qingyao, Chu Xinghe, Leng Yuechan, Linglong, Su Yuan, Kong Ming, Feng Qiqi, Xue Li, Ye Chen, Mo Sha, Qing Xuan, Mu Ling Nannan, You Ye, Yu Lin, and Jin Bao! Lin Xuan's fifteen direct disciples were surrounded by immortal light, their auras having reached the Tribulation Transcension Peak Great Perfection! They were just one step away from attracting the True Immortal Thunder Tribulation and completely transforming from mortal to immortal!

"The Heavenly Abyss will temporarily be managed by Lu Chen and Yan Ling'er!" Yun Qingyao's voice, carrying the authority of a newly advanced Tribulation Transcension Peak cultivator, clearly reached the ears of the two figures.

"Senior Sister, rest assured!" Lu Chen stepped forward, the long sword at his waist humming softly, and a sharp Sword Intent of the Mahayana Middle Stage erupted, faintly bearing the shadow of Leng Yuechan's Nirvana Sword Dao.

"Leave it to us!" Crimson divine flames rose around Yan Ling'er, like a goddess of fire, her aura also in the Mahayana Middle Stage. The pressure of the Divine Phoenix True Flame slightly twisted the surrounding air.

"Go!" Yun Qingyao let out a clear shout, her gaze fixed on the enormous passage above Burial King City, constructed from chaotic starlight and thunder, spanning two realms. "Follow Master and step into the Immortal Realm!"

"Step into the Immortal Realm!" Millions of disciples roared in unison, their shouts shattering the ominous clouds of the Heavenly Abyss!

Millions of figures, like a surging river of stars breaking its banks, carrying the majestic momentum of their recent immortal qi infusion and breakthroughs, boldly rushed into the dazzling spatial passage!

Immortal Realm, above the Star Palace.

The enormous spatial passage, spanning heaven and earth, vibrated violently, as if unable to withstand the terrifying power surging within. Liu Ruyan, along with the Star Palace's original twenty thousand-plus disciples and servants, watched anxiously.

The huge pit left by the evaporation of the five thousand Immortal Generals brought by Hu Buwei was still steaming nearby, making it seem exceptionally small compared to the volcano about to erupt before them.

Suddenly!

Buzz!

The passage entrance suddenly erupted with a light more dazzling than the sun! An indescribable, terrifying pressure, formed by the convergence of millions of powerful auras who had just broken through, rushed out of the passage like a tangible tsunami, instantly sweeping across the entire ten-thousand-mile territory of the Flowing Fire Desert!

The sky was distorted, and the earth groaned!

"Oh my god!" A patrol disciple from the former Qingyan City went weak in the knees, slumping directly to the ground, his teeth chattering. What did he see?

Countless figures! Densely packed, like an iron torrent covering the sky and earth, they surged out of the passage like divine soldiers descending from the heavens, carrying soaring battle intent and violent immortal light that had just broken through and had not yet been fully restrained!

At the forefront were fifteen figures. Their auras were the most terrifying, like fifteen suns about to erupt. Just a glance from them made one's soul tremble! Tribulation Transcension Peak Great Perfection! Only one thunder tribulation away from becoming a True Immortal!

"Behind them are all Mahayana! Tribulation Transcension!" The voice of a deputy general beside Liu Ruyan changed pitch, his mind blank as he looked at the overwhelming million figures whose powerful auras warped space itself. She finally understood where the Palace Master's confidence came from! This was not a sect at all; it was a terrifying army no weaker than the main force of the Immortal Alliance!

The million cultivators, led by Yun Qingyao and others, hovered orderly above the Star Palace, like a war fortress suspended in the Immortal Realm. They were solemn and silent, yet carried a will to crush everything.

Just then, an unexpected change occurred!

Rumble!

The originally clear sky of the Immortal Realm was instantly covered by boundless, heavy, lead-like black tribulation clouds! The tribulation clouds rolled, lightning flashed like dragons and snakes dancing wildly, and an aura of destruction locked onto the fifteen most powerful figures! Fifteen True Immortal Tribulations! Descending simultaneously! That majestic heavenly might was more than ten thousand times stronger than the five thousand Immortal Generals brought by Hu Buwei!

"Hmph!" Facing these fifteen True Immortal Tribulations, enough to make even an Immortal Monarch's scalp tingle, Yun Qingyao merely snorted coldly, took a step forward, and the cold light of the Moon Soul Saint Body shot into the sky, actually actively meeting the first purple tribulation lightning, as thick as a bucket, that struck down!

Chu Xinghe let out a strange laugh, and the chaotic formation diagram beneath his feet unfolded, directly absorbing and detonating several bolts of tribulation lightning striking him within the formation! Leng Yuechan's Nirvana Sword Qi slashed against the heavens! Linglong's demonic sounds directly clashed with the thunderous roars! Kong Ming chanted Buddhist scriptures, and the Merit Golden Wheel directly resisted the heavenly punishment! Feng Qiqi's Nirvana Divine Fire burned the lightning to refine her body! The fifteen direct disciples each displayed their divine abilities, confronting the True Immortal Tribulation with the most domineering and savage postures!

The tribulation lightning was violent, tearing apart heaven and earth, yet it could not truly shake these fifteen monsters who had undergone immortal qi infusion and whose foundations were so profound as to defy the heavens!

At the same time, Lin Xuan stood with his hands behind his back atop the Main Hall, a barely suppressed curve on his lips.

Ding! Detected that direct disciple Yun Qingyao successfully passed the True Immortal Tribulation and entered the True Immortal Early Stage! Triggering ten thousand times return! Host receives cultivation feedback!

Ding! Detected that direct disciple Chu Xinghe successfully passed the True Immortal Tribulation and entered the True Immortal Early Stage! Triggering ten thousand times return! Host receives cultivation feedback!

Ding! Detected that direct disciple Leng Yuechan successfully passed the True Immortal Tribulation and entered the True Immortal Early Stage! Triggering ten thousand times return! Host receives cultivation feedback! A series of dense system prompts, like popping beans, frantically flooded Lin Xuan's mind! Fifteen torrents of ten thousand times return cultivation, like fifteen overflowing heavenly rivers, surged into his body!

The Chaos Nascent Soul within him hummed joyfully, greedily devouring this vast power!

No bottlenecks! No obstacles! Lin Xuan's aura, as if riding a chaotic rocket, began to soar from the True Immortal Middle Stage, all the way up, under the dumbfounded gazes of Liu Ruyan and the others!

True Immortal Late Stage! True Immortal Peak! Boom! A vast pressure, far surpassing True Immortals and transcending mortals, erupted, stirring up the clouds in the sky! Heavenly Immortal Realm! And not the early stage, but directly rushing to the Heavenly Immortal Middle Stage! And under the continuous washing of those fifteen return torrents, it rapidly stabilized and solidified!

Lin Xuan felt the vast power surging within him like a river of stars, capable of crushing stars with a casual gesture, and comfortably narrowed his eyes.

"Master is mighty!" Yun Qingyao and the other fifteen newly minted True Immortals, who had just passed their lightning tribulations and were surrounded by immortal light, bowed in unison towards Lin Xuan atop the hall, their voices shaking the nine heavens.

"Palace Master's divine might is unparalleled!" The army of a million Mahayana and Tribulation Transcension cultivators, like a well-trained iron torrent, roared in unison, bowing down with fervent adoration! The rolling sound shook the entire Flowing Fire Desert!

Jin Bao transformed into a golden streak, whooshing to Lin Xuan's side and grabbing his clothes. Yu Lin, holding a half-eaten fragment of a formation plate, mumbled, "Master, this is crispier than a bug core."

Liu Ruyan and the newly initiated disciples of the Immortal Realm watched this scene, as if a miracle had descended: a million strong army prostrating, fifteen True Immortals bowing in respect, divine beasts and fierce beasts surrounding them, and their Palace Master, that figure in black, stood so casually atop the hall, his aura as deep as the sea, already a Heavenly Immortal Middle Stage powerhouse!

Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent waves in her heart, and bowed deeply towards Lin Xuan's back. At this moment, she truly glimpsed but the tip of the iceberg of this Palace Master's foundation. What Immortal Alliance Elders, what local tyrants of the Flowing Fire Desert, in front of this power, they were not even ants!

Lin Xuan patted Jin Bao's small head, his gaze sweeping over the million disciples, looking towards the direction of the Immortal Alliance Headquarters, the meaningful curve on his lips becoming even more pronounced.

"Alliance Leader Bai Li," he murmured softly, his voice only audible to himself, "Is this meeting gift from me weighty enough?" He seemed to have already seen the instantly changing expression on the harried Nine-Tailed Immortal Fox Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance when she sensed the sudden arrival of these million True Immortal and Heavenly Immortal auras at the edge of the Flowing Fire Desert.
