102: Chapter 102 First Immortal Realm Sign-in, Heavenly Soldier Summoning Talisman!
The Southern Heaven Gate shone with vast divine light.
The Laws of Order had reshaped this ruin.
The Qi of the Immortals was so dense it was almost impossible to disperse.
Yet, outside this seemingly peaceful pure land, within the Chaos mist of the Immortal Realm, powerful Divine Thoughts crossed the Void Realm, arriving one after another.
They were greedy and bloodthirsty, repeatedly battering the invisible barrier surrounding the Southern Heaven Gate.
Each strike caused ripples to spread through the newly born light of order.
These Divine Thoughts came from different broken continents of the Immortal Realm, backed by those ancient forces that had survived since antiquity.
"Father, those flies outside are so annoying."
Li Daoyan clutched his hem, his face full of unease.
As an Array Dao Fetus, those unscrupulous prying eyes made his skin crawl.
"It is nothing."
Beneath the Southern Heaven Gate, Li Xuan stood there, his expression calm.
He smiled.
"Let them watch. Even if you gave them a hundred times the courage, they would not dare to step foot inside easily."
"It is just as well; let us see what kind of fish are hiding in this pond."
Beside him, the old soldier's remnant soul flickered.
The soul body, which had just become slightly more solid, showed signs of dissipating again due to nervousness.
"Your Majesty, do not be careless."
"The Immortal Realm is treacherous. Among the owners of these Divine Thoughts, there are likely Golden Immortals, or even old monsters at the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm."
"Although the Southern Heaven Gate has been preliminarily repaired, its Divine Might is less than one ten-thousandth of its former glory; it may not be able to—"
Li Xuan waved his hand, interrupting him.
Whether he was careless or not, he knew in his heart.
His own cultivation at the Emperor Realm was constrained everywhere under these broken Laws of the Immortal Realm.
A Dragon trapped in shallow waters—if he could exert even ten or twenty percent of his strength, that would be considered good.
This was the reason he had not taken the initiative to strike.
Otherwise, given his temperament, every one of these Divine Thoughts that dared to pry would be dragged out by him along the threads of their Divine Thoughts.
And then he would smash their heads in.
Therefore, the most urgent task was not to drive away the flies.
It was to solve his own problem.
As long as he was strong enough, all monsters and demons would be nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs.
"System, sign in here!"
Li Xuan thought silently.
This was his first time signing in since arriving in the Immortal Realm.
It was also the first time beneath the repaired Southern Heaven Gate.
This place had once been the gateway of the Immortal Court, and now it carried the mandate for the reconstruction of the Heavenly Court, possessing extraordinary Luck.
[Ding!] A familiar prompt sounded in Li Xuan's mind.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in at the "Revived Southern Heaven Gate"!]
[Detected a conflict between the host's current state and the Laws of the Immortal Realm, sign-in rewards have been optimized and adjusted!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: one 'Emperor Realm Cultivation Fusion Card'!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a special item: one 'Heavenly Soldier Talisman'!]
It was here!
Li Xuan's spirits lifted.
[Emperor Realm Cultivation Fusion Card: After use, it allows the host to perform a Fusion of the Emperor Dao Fruit originating from the Lower Realm with the broken Laws of the current Immortal Realm. At that time, the host will no longer be suppressed by the Laws of the Immortal Realm, combat power will be restored to its Peak, and the host will be able to mobilize the power of the Immortal Realm's Laws at a deeper level, greatly increasing combat power!]
[Heavenly Soldier Talisman: A special consumable. After activation, it can summon a hundred-man squad of True Immortal Realm Heavenly Soldiers from the Heavenly Court's Hall of Heroes to fight for you, lasting for one hour. This squad is absolutely loyal, possesses unparalleled battle formations, and can slay Golden Immortals!]
Good stuff!
These two rewards were practically tailor-made for Li Xuan's current predicament.
The former was the key to solving his limited combat power, the foundation for establishing himself.
The latter was a powerful trump card, enough to turn the tables.
Li Xuan did not hesitate.
"System, use the 'Emperor Realm Cultivation Fusion Card' immediately!"
Hum!
He felt his Divine Soul warm up.
Before this, although Li Xuan was an Emperor, he always felt a sense of stagnation in the Immortal Realm.
His Dao was incompatible with this broken world.
Every movement, every breath, was a struggle against the chaotic Laws, making his whole body uncomfortable.
But now.
As the Fusion card took effect, that sense of repulsion vanished instantly.
The feeling of restraint disappeared.
Li Xuan felt unprecedented lightness.
Above his Emperor Dao Fruit, countless chains of Dao Laws buzzed, rapidly intertwining, resonating, and undergoing Fusion with the surrounding Laws of the Immortal Realm.
Boom!
Li Xuan's Aura changed.
The chattering children immediately fell silent, all turning their heads to look at their father.
In their perception, the Li Xuan of a moment ago was a divine mountain shrouded in clouds and mist.
Magnificent, yet distant and oppressive.
The Li Xuan of this moment was this very sky.
He was this very land!
His presence merged with the entire Southern Heaven Gate and this reviving Immortal Realm, becoming one, no longer distinguishable from each other.
Profound.
Vast.
Unfathomable, immeasurable.
"Your Majesty, you…"
The old soldier's remnant soul felt it most intuitively.
He looked at Li Xuan, his soul body flickering unsteadily, as if it were about to be blown away by the dissipating energy.
What he was facing was no longer a powerhouse from the Lower Realm.
It was an ancient God King whose Will Manifests as Law!
Heavens, what exactly is happening?
Wasn't His Majesty just being suppressed by the Laws of the Immortal Realm a moment ago?
How, in the blink of an eye, did he become the doting father of these Immortal Realm Laws?
No, even closer than a father!
These broken Laws of the Immortal Realm were actually actively submitting to him, as if he were their true master, waiting for his command!
The old soldier felt disbelief once again.
He finally understood why His Majesty had been fearless from beginning to end.
It turned out that in the face of His Majesty's strength, the so-called suppression by the Laws was not an issue at all.
It wasn't that he couldn't solve it; it was just a matter of whether he wanted to.
Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
Divine light shone brilliantly in his pupils.
He stretched his body, feeling completely comfortable.
Refreshing!
Incomparably refreshing!
He could clearly feel that his strength had not increased, but the combat power he could exert had skyrocketed by more than tenfold.
Before, dealing with a Golden Immortal might have been a bit troublesome.
Now?
He was confident that if a Golden Immortal came, it would just be a matter of slapping them to death.
With a thought, the Divine Thoughts outside the Chaos mist that were still incessantly probing became instantly clear in his perception.
The source coordinates of every Divine Thought were completely exposed.
"A bunch of rats hiding their heads and showing their tails."
Li Xuan smiled disdainfully, too lazy to bother with them for now.
His gaze fell upon the other item in the System space.
It was a palm-sized golden talisman.
Crafted from Immortal Gold, engraved with cloud patterns and the character "Soldier," the brushwork was vigorous, exuding an Aura of slaughter.
The Heavenly Soldier Talisman.
Li Xuan took it out and held it in his palm.
A trump card sufficient to summon a hundred True Immortals at a critical moment, or even contend with a Golden Immortal.
"Not bad."
Li Xuan casually put it away.
"This can be considered an extra layer of insurance for the children."
With Peak combat power and such a trump card in hand, Li Xuan felt full of confidence.
In this treacherous Immortal Realm, he could finally let go and have some fun.
Li Xuan looked toward the distance shrouded in Chaos mist.
He smiled.
"So, which unlucky fool with no eyes will be the first to walk into my line of fire?"
The voice was not loud, but it made the old soldier beside him shudder.
