543: Chapter 543 Taiyin Immortal Lord

Lu Yuan could clearly sense these auras. They were like nine blazing suns hanging deep in the firmament, illuminating the entire Chaos Sea and exerting an invisible suppression on all living beings.

For other Cultivators, falling into this era where Immortal Kings rose together was a catastrophe.

There was no fear in Lu Yuan's heart. He looked at the high and lofty territories of the Immortal Kings, and a grand plan emerged in his mind.

He not only wanted to gain a foothold in this era where the Immortal Dao Laws were the most complete.

He also wanted to devour all the heritage that these Immortal Kings had accumulated over countless epochs, using it as a stepping stone to reach the Peak of the Immortal Dao.

To use the entire Immortal Ancient Epoch to nourish me alone—this thought became increasingly firm in Lu Yuan's heart.

"Query the whereabouts of Immortal Monarch Daoyan." Lu Yuan issued the command in his heart.

[Intelligence Feedback: Immortal Monarch Daoyan was severely injured in the waves of time, and his Immortal Lord Origin was damaged. After falling into the Chaos Sea, he relied on the characteristics of his 'Ten Thousand Daos Return to One' Cultivation Technique to attract the attention of the experts under Immortal King Yuanshi. Immortal Monarch Daoyan has successfully joined the ranks of Immortal King Yuanshi and is currently in secluded meditation to heal his wounds on an affiliated immortal island of the Immortal King Yuanshi faction, having been officially appointed as the Island Master of that island.]

After reading the intelligence, a cold sneer appeared on the corner of Lu Yuan's mouth.

"Is it safe just by joining an Immortal King?" His voice echoed in the karst cave, carrying undisguised mockery.

When his strength advanced further and his Realm was stabilized at a higher level, he would go and take his life and Dao Fruit.

In this Immortal Ancient Epoch, the Laws of heaven and earth were flawless.

The River of Time was complete and undamaged, the Heavenly Dao Laws were interlinked, and the power of creation was endless.

By entrusting his Dao Fruit to the Immortal Ancient Epoch, he could break through to the Late Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm in one fell swoop.

Lu Yuan consumed Destiny Points again and issued a command to the System.

"Query the most suitable location and plan for imprinting the Dao Fruit."

[System Suggestion: Host, please imprint the Dao Fruit on the main islands occupied by the various Immortal Kings.]

[Analysis: The Laws of the Immortal King's main island are the most perfect and ancient. By imprinting the Dao Fruit here, the Host will not only receive direct feedback from the main island's Laws, instantly stepping into the Middle Stage or even the Perfection of the Immortal Lord Realm. Moreover, the Dao Fruit is connected to the Luck of the main island. As long as the Immortal King's main island is not destroyed, the Host's Dao Fruit will be absolutely immortal, fearing no erasure on any level of time.]

[Optimal Compatibility Point Recommendation: The Grandmist Creation Island where Immortal King Zaohua resides.]

[Reason: The Host possesses an Innate Chaos Immortal Physique and Cultivates the Great Five Elements Chaos Art. The Grandmist Creation Dao and the Chaos Origin share the same ancestry and Origin, resulting in extremely high compatibility. The success rate of the imprint is the highest, and the feedback effect is the strongest.]

Lu Yuan fell into deep thought. Grandmist Creation Island, Immortal King Zaohua—wanting to imprint his own Dao Fruit on someone else's main island was equivalent to stealing the other party's Foundation.

Directly forcing his way into an Immortal King's main island was impossible. An existence at the Immortal King level, even just a projection of a Divine Thought, was enough to crush an ordinary Immortal Lord.

He had to act indirectly. He needed a reasonable identity or a suitable stepping stone to join the ranks of Immortal King Zaohua and obtain the qualifications to land on the island and perform the imprint.

Lu Yuan did not act blindly. He sat cross-legged in the depression where the spiritual spring gathered, closed his eyes, and circulated the Great Five Elements Chaos Art.

He was waiting for the arrival of the Midnight Hour.

Time passed slowly. The sky of the Chaos Sea gradually darkened. There was no starlight in the sky, only extreme darkness.

The Midnight Hour finally arrived.

[Purple Intelligence: A core battle general under Immortal King Zaohua, Immortal Lord Taiyin, is currently fighting with Immortal Lord Wan'e under Immortal King Yuanshi for this ownerless immortal island where the Host is located. In this confrontation, Immortal Lord Taiyin accidentally fell victim to Immortal Lord Wan'e's Great Poison Art. The toxin has invaded her Immortal Lord Origin and she urgently needs a Pure Yang Physique to perform Yin and Yang convergence to detoxify. The System suggests the Host can go to the Hidden Dragon Cold Cave in the hinterland of the island during the Chou Hour today to save Immortal Lord Taiyin. The Host can use this favor as a stepping stone to successfully join Immortal King Zaohua's ranks.]

[Purple Intelligence: Analysis of Immortal Lord Wan'e's background. Immortal Lord Wan'e is under Immortal King Yuanshi and has Late Stage Immortal Lord cultivation. His true form is an Ancient Calamity Beast in the Chaos Sea. He has mastered the Great Poison Art, and his Poison Dao Law can corrode the Law of Time. His greatest weakness: His Poison Dao Origin is located in the Calamity Beast Pearl on the third vertebra of his spine. This Calamity Beast Pearl fears the direct crushing force of the ultimate Thunder Law and Chaos Law.]

After reading these two pieces of intelligence, a sharp killing intent flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes. That killing intent was almost tangible, freezing the surrounding air.

"Under Immortal King Yuanshi?"

He muttered to himself, his voice filled with bone-chilling coldness.

Immortal Monarch Daoyan defected to Immortal King Yuanshi, and this Immortal Lord Wan'e is also a person of Immortal King Yuanshi. These two happen to belong to the same faction—new grudges and old scores, it's perfect to settle them together! He had originally intended to settle old scores with Immortal Monarch Daoyan, and now encountering this Immortal Lord Wan'e, it is simply a god-given opportunity.

As for the mention in the intelligence that Immortal Lord Taiyin needs a Pure Yang Physique to detoxify, it is completely effortless for Lu Yuan, as he naturally possesses the Pure Yang Dao Body.

There was less than half an hour until the Chou Hour. He removed the surrounding concealment Formation and activated the Xing Character Secret.

The space did not shatter. Lu Yuan's body directly transformed into a wisp of void Chaos Qi, merging into the surrounding violent gale, and sped toward the Hidden Dragon Cold Cave mentioned in the intelligence.

The Hidden Dragon Cold Cave was located in the deepest part of this immortal island. After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Lu Yuan reached his destination.

This was a huge natural cave, with the entrance exhaling grayish-white cold air.

Lu Yuan stepped into the cave. The temperature inside was extremely low.

Sharp icicles grew on the cave walls. The light was dim, with only ice crystals emitting a faint blue glow.

Lu Yuan walked to the deepest part of the cave, where there was a relatively flat open space.

Lu Yuan's thoughts stirred slightly. He circulated the Great Five Elements Chaos Art, pushing the Law of Fire within his body to the extreme.

...

The Chou Hour arrived.

"Rip—"

A sound of fabric being forcibly torn came from the direction of the cave entrance.

The originally stable spatial barrier was savagely broken open by an external force.

A figure stumbled into the Hidden Dragon Cold Cave. Her steps were unsteady, and every step left a deep footprint on the ice.

The person who arrived was a woman, wearing an Immortal Lord robe that should have been spotless white.

At this moment, the robe was covered with riddled corrosive marks, and wisps of black smoke were still rising from the edges—this was a manifestation of the toxin continuously eroding the robe itself.

The robe had already lost most of its defensive capabilities, and many damaged areas revealed the skin underneath, which was covered in toxic spots.

A cold Law of Moonlight lingered around her, attempting to resist the erosion of some external force.

This was a phantom of a waning moon, shrouding her within it, but the light was already weak, flickering on and off like a candle in the wind, liable to be extinguished at any moment.

The person who arrived was none other than Immortal Lord Taiyin. Her face was stunningly beautiful, with features as exquisite as if carved from moonlight. Between her brows lay a hidden coldness and arrogance born from long-term high status.

But at this moment, her complexion showed a deathly color, her lips were blackened, and fine black bloodshot lines were spreading from the corners of her eyes.
