140: Cross-dimensional formation

Not long after they left, Dao Lord Thunder Spear, who had come to Weihai for inspection, also arrived. He could sense that a great battle had taken place here, but since the battlefield had been cleaned up and no aura was left behind, Dao Lord Thunder Spear did not know his son had been captured.

At this time, they had arrived in the main hall of Dao Monarch Faming.

Dao Monarch Faming looked at Nalan Hong with a very grim expression: "It seems Liu Xiu's share of the Heavenly Dao is increasing. The heart of the heavens changes with the hearts of people. Previously, an Evil Path Cultivator like this could never have possessed such Luck. But now, even an Evil Path Cultivator who devours other Cultivators can have such Luck; it is simply absurd."

He trembled with rage: "It seems our Immortal Dao must truly fight to the death. It won't be long before Liu Xiu is truly trusted by the Heavenly Dao. If we haven't changed things by then, we'll be at a dead end."

Gu Yuchuan spoke up then: "I think Senior is being a bit overly anxious. Hasn't the change arrived now?"

Dao Monarch Faming finally recovered from his emotions. He looked at Gu Yuchuan and gave a light chuckle: "Indeed, the variable has indeed arrived. You set up the Formation here; if you need anything, just let me know."

Gu Yuchuan nodded and enveloped Nalan Hong with his magic power. He began to perform a secret technique, and a green divine light appeared in his hand. Nalan Hong only felt his body filled with intense pain, and something was draining from his body. Although he didn't know what it was, he understood it must be something very precious to him.

Indeed, what was draining was his Luck, which was also what Gu Yuchuan wanted. Only a Teleportation Array established with Luck could cross Realms. Gradually, Nalan Hong's wailing grew quieter, and a green Formation appeared before them. Gu Yuchuan's consciousness returned to the Cloud Sea Heavenly Palace through the Formation.

The Yao Sovereign sat there, watching him motionlessly.

"Your Majesty, I have completed the task you assigned. However, this Formation only allows Golden Core Stage Cultivators to pass through. This small demon's strength is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, so I cannot do much more."

A faint smile appeared on the Yao Sovereign's face: "Very well, being able to do this is already excellent. In the current world, it is a process of water dripping through stone. You are just the first step. With this Formation, I can continuously send Cultivators to the Canglan Realm. You won't need to work so hard for the subsequent matters."

Gu Yuchuan was very happy. This trip to the Canglan Realm was far too dangerous. If he could avoid going, he naturally preferred not to.

"Your Majesty, I have made contact with the Immortal Dao over there, but my status isn't enough to say much to them. You still need to send someone of weight to communicate with them."

The Yao Sovereign thought for a moment: "Fine, then I will let my Clone go. You have done well this time. Once you truly return, I will reward you."

After speaking, a young man emerged from the sea of clouds, dressed in white like an Immortal. This was the Yao Sovereign's Clone: "Let's go, we'll head over together."

With that, the Divine Sense of the Yao Sovereign and Gu Yuchuan returned to the Canglan Realm.

When Dao Monarch Faming saw an additional Golden Core Stage Cultivator, he didn't take it seriously at first. But when he felt the pressure of death from this young man, he realized he was wrong. This person should be the Clone of some mighty being. Thus, he stood up.

"Dao Monarch Faming, leader of the Canglan Realm Immortal Dao, greets this Fellow Daoist."

The Yao Sovereign nodded in return: "Dao Sovereign of the Qingyun Realm Yao Race, a powerhouse at the Fourth Layer of Spirit Transformation Stage, greets you, Fellow Daoist."

Once this cultivation level was mentioned, Dao Monarch Faming was somewhat shocked. One must know that there were no Middle Stage of Spirit Transformation existences in the entire Canglan Realm. Whether it was the former Immortal Dao leaders or the current Liu Xiu, they were all at the Early Stage of Spirit Transformation, even at the first or second layers; there wasn't even anyone at the Spirit Transformation Third Layer. The Soul Transformation Realm is a matter of 'one layer, one heaven'; there is a fundamental difference between the Middle Stage and the Early Stage, with a massive gap in combat power.

He felt a bit lost. On one hand, the Yao Sovereign's strength gave him hope for the return of the Immortal Dao, but on the other, he was afraid—afraid that the Yao Sovereign was too strong and would eventually turn hostile. However, at this point, he could only follow this path; otherwise, the outcome would be being devoured by the Technology Immortal Sect.

"So it is a Senior who has descended. I have been impolite. Please, Senior, take the seat of honor. Someone, bring some spirit fruits and spirit tea."

Fairy Yuehua, a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, personally came to serve, bringing out many spirit fruits and spirit tea. Even Gu Yuchuan was given a cup of excellent spirit tea. Just by smelling it, he felt all his pores open, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi rushed into his body as his magic power grew continuously.

After just a few sips, he could feel his magic power increasing at an alarming rate. Soon, he reached the threshold of the Late Foundation Establishment Stage. This was a huge help for his advancement. He felt that if he found an opportunity to enter seclusion and digest it, he would be able to advance successfully.

The Yao Sovereign spoke directly without any pretense: "I will state my requirements first. I want thirty percent of your Canglan Realm's Luck and thirty percent of your resources for a hundred-year period. Think it over."

To be honest, these requirements were excessive, essentially a humiliation of the Realm. But the other party had no way to refuse; he could only agree. Before him, there were only two paths: agree and the Immortal Dao lives, or refuse and they all die. And for the Yao Sovereign, there was basically no cost; he couldn't possibly keep the Clone of a Soul Transformation powerhouse here.

However, such an agreement was certainly not good news. His expression grew much more solemn: "Senior wants so many things; you should at least tell me what you can give me."

The Yao Sovereign laughed: "Of course. As a dignified Middle Stage of Spirit Transformation powerhouse, could I possibly covet your things for nothing? Obviously not. I will give you two things. First, the Extinction of the Technological Immortal Dao—such a wicked path shouldn't exist. Second is helping you reach Soul Transformation. We can do it now; as long as you agree, I will immediately help you become a Soul Transformation Stage powerhouse."

He stood up from his chair, his eyes wide. He had been stuck at the Nascent Soul Stage for too many years, and becoming a Soul Transformation expert had become his obsession. Now that the resolution of his obsession was right before him, he admitted he was tempted and didn't care about anything else.

His voice trembled slightly: "Is that true, Senior?" After speaking, he stared intently at the Yao Sovereign, fearing the other was lying. The Yao Sovereign nodded: "Naturally. With my status, there is no reason to joke about what I say. Now, it depends on your choice."
