Chapter 287: The Dao Stele Isn’t All That Great

  A new immortal secret realm… appeared?!

  The news silenced the clan heads on Beiluo Lake’s flower boats.

  They’d puzzled over Young Master Lu’s “Dao Tears”—what realm qualification?—and now retainers confirmed a new immortal secret realm.

  What did it mean?

  Each emergence shook the cultivation world, accelerated growth.

  First: Wolong Ridge—revealed qi terror, cultivation’s existence.

  Popularized practice; White Jade Capital rose.

  Second: eight dragon gates—cultivators surged, Body Storage born.

  Now... third.

  Forces knowing benefits saw opportunity.

  Linked to Lu’s Dao Tears—White Jade Capital likely orchestrated.

  Hearts surged.

  Rest ended.

  Boats returned.

  Auction continued—but atmosphere transformed.

  Lu anticipated; smiled, unconcerned.

  Leaned Thousand Blades: "Last item."

  "Not new—like previous, Dao Stele comprehension slots."

  "Inferior to sixth auction."

  "But quantity—finale."

  Smiled.

  "Six slots; no start bid. Same rules—write on boards."

  Words.

  Lake boats roared.

  Eyes competed.

  Overlord got news.

  Wolong new realm...

  Nine fearsome gates, black stele.

  Stele = Dao Stele?

  Heart stirred—breakthrough perhaps in gates, stele.

  Ten breaths silent, wary glances.

  Bids.

  Competition crushed.

  Du Longyang cold-faced: 800 stones.

  Overwhelmed.

  Tang Xiansheng expected high; lazy bid via Tang Yimo.

  Asked Yimo Du’s strength.

  You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

  Response: rivals past Young Master Lu.

  No contest.

  Other slots.

  Du took one inferior six.

  "Old Du, congrats first."

  Tianxu leaned, sincere grin.

  Du cold glare: "Scram."

  Mockery veiled.

  Next fiercer.

  No Du stirrers—bids sane.

  But prior high—none low.

  Tang 300: second.

  Tantai followed.

  Third: Tang again.

  Heads furious.

  "Tang... excessive."

  Tang aged smile: "Granddaughter too—prepare slot forbidden?"

  "Outbid if able."

  Angry, irrefutable.

  Du etc. thoughtful—bid for geniuses.

  Lu refused.

  Overlord snagged one.

  One left.

  Final: cautious.

  Sweat; predicted others.

  Fear overpay loss, underpay miss.

  Last: South clan 450.

  All sold.

  Auction done.

  Minds on new realm.

  "Auction ends... disperse."

  Lu knew thoughts.

  Faint.

  Words; thunder arc—teleported gone.

  First White Jade Capital auction.

  Profound.

  Minds realm-drawn, but Lu vanish complex.

  Influence vast.

  Royal power? Nothing.

  Armies vs. Lu, White Jade? No.

  Cultivator armies: ants.

  Awe only.

  "Farewell Young Master."

  Heads bowed vanish spot.

  Du, Empress, Tianxu etc. eyed, vanished boats.

  Origin Lake island.

  Lu thunder step back pavilions.

  Soul sensed Du etc. left Beiluo, to Nine Prisons.

  No block.

  Stele deep.

  Sequence intent: benefit Lu.

  Actually, vs. stele—Nine Prison gates true treasure, aid cultivation.

  Hid goodies.

  Unearth: rapid Five Phoenixes growth.

  Lu sipped.

  Warm liquor throat.

  ...

  Liu Yuanhao grim left Beiluo.

  Glanced towering peak—oppressed.

  White Jade Capital beyond expect.

  Behind: four Black Dragon silent.

  "White Jade mountain—world forces breathless..."

  "No vanish, pattern static; Black Dragon no rise."

  Sighed.

  Even cult leader: cautious—fear interference.

  Interfere: cult end.

  Vanish? How?

  "What defeats White Jade... perhaps itself."

  Shook,感慨.

  To guards: "Back; change. Tonight plan alter."

  Pointed three; one to capital.

  "Do?"

  To Wolong—unexpected.

  Auction no Tear; integrated underground, but heritage shallow vs. ancient clans.

  "Vs. Overlord delay..."

  Grinned white teeth.

  "But realm... mustn't miss!"

  Guards thoughtful.

  ...

  Forces mobilized; realm disrupted plans.

  New realm: dominance chance—past proved.

  Heads: clan stronger?

  Tantai sent Mo Ju back Great Xuan, mobilize Xuanwu to Wolong.

  Self with guards: personally.

  Xuanwu North to Wolong: days.

  Seize initiative.

  Overlord horsed rapid Wolong.

  Clans same.

  Different paths, earliest immortal fate.

  Slower than Du etc.

  Du plain clothes, folded spear back—lightning dash, sensed aura no lost.

  Empress red robes excitement.

  Tianxu hags litter.

  Infant speed extreme.

  Wolong exterior.

  Four landed.

  Aura swept dust.

  Heads up distant.

  Du frowned.

  Nine hell-ghost gates, dark cold.

  Unusual.

  But eyes to massive stele.

  Black central, plain ancient.

  Distant: blood boiled.

  "That... Dao Stele?"

  Inhaled.

  Empress bright: "Odd aura—Infant dare not underestimate... key to break shackles!"

  Eyed competition.

  Next: moved.

  Du ground crater, rebound force.

  Empress robes flew.

  Ye firm steps, shrink ground.

  Tianxu ditched hags—slow.

  Appearance alerted guards.

  "Who?!"

  Guard roared.

  Ye faint glance—soul quake.

  Retreated, sat; voice stuck.

  Four landed.

  Xiang Army wary.

  Too strong—aura no knife courage.

  All cultivators: ants.

  More ants.

  To gates.

  "First Prison..."

  Nine.

  Du to First.

  "Um..."

  Pressure mild.

  But entry: repel extreme—face changed.

  Dare not force.

  Collapse if Infant.

  "So... realm no Infant; below only..."

  "Primordial Infant?"

  Ye scanned, silent.

  Eyes back black stele.

  Stepped.

  Guards horrified casual.

  Felt pressure.

  None on four.

  How strong?!

  Body Storage? Heavenly Lock?

  Near stele: nine cushions.

  Front three, back six.

  Eyed: slots.

  "This stele... hype?"

  Tianxu had Tear.

  Unconvinced.

  Pressure average.

  No Tear needed.

  Lu scam?

  Du, Empress, Ye cautious.

  Watched Tianxu advance—no move.

  Tianxu uncaring, past Ninth, stele range.

  "Pressure heavier... Primordial resist; Infant easy."

  "Stele nothing great."

  Laughed.

  ...

  Beiluo, island.

  Lu sipped.

  Tianxu scoff ear.

  Lips up.

  "Pressure low? Ensure stones worth... raise."

  Murmured.

  Board emerged.

  Pinched piece, slow fall.

  Boom!

  Wind surged.

  ...

  Stele range casual Tianxu.

  Du, Empress, Ye doubtful eyes.

  Suddenly.

  Empress trembled—twist around stele.

  Lips pursed, pity Tianxu.

  Tianxu ease vanished.

  Face drastic.

  Boom!

  Sky-crush pressure exploded.

  Tianxu turn flee—legs soft.

  Pa!

  Crisp.

  Prostrate pinned...
