Chapter 1072: Chapter 522: The Immortal Dao is Flawed! The Heavenly Dao is Toxic (7K)_2

However, in this world, if a Nascent Soul Half-Immortal doesn’t ascend to an ‘Immortal of the Dao Court,’ they will face severe constraints.

It’s not a constraint of rules.

But a constraint from the heavens!!

“This Dao Court seems to truly act on behalf of the heavens, representing the rules of the Heavenly Dao.” Li Yuan mused, “Failing to become an Immortal of the Dao Court not only makes comprehending the Great Dao Laws more difficult, but the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations become increasingly terrifying… Earth Immortal Realm’s ‘Wandering Independent Immortals’ rarely live past a millennium.”

The Immortal of the Dao Court and Wandering Independent Immortal refer not to cultivation realms, but to identities.

The former, as if receiving the blessings of the heavens, finds longevity and cultivation easier…

The latter, like the ‘Zhi Yun Earth Immortal’, is a Wandering Independent Immortal.

“In the Divine Realm, various Divine Court forces restrain countless powerful beings within their territories, but none have such a constraint originating from the laws of heaven and earth.” Li Yuan pondered, “This world is indeed peculiar.”

In any case, Li Yuan was filled with apprehension.

“Please proceed, Half-Immortal, and leave your name on this ‘Immortal Records’.” The bronze puppet was very courteous.

It led Li Yuan to a nearby spot.

“Alright.” Li Yuan nodded.

He had already discerned that the so-called Immortal Records were essentially an array formation, sensing and recording his soul aura, without needing to leave a soul mark.

Soon after, Li Yuan left his Daoist title ‘Seven Stars’ on the Immortal Records.

“From today onwards, I shall be the Seven Stars Half-Immortal.” Li Yuan entered the city.

…

Time passed by.

With the identity of ‘Nascent Soul Half-Immortal,’ Li Yuan rented a cavern in Anshun City and cautiously made inquiries.

At inns, Daoist Collection Libraries, Magical Treasure Markets, the residences of Great Sects, and others, he left his traces.

A month flashed by.

Inside Drunken Mang Dao Residence, Cave Mansion No. 29, with an internal space of about several kilometers, Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the center.

“According to the information I’ve gathered.”

“The Star God Cultivation System is likely this world’s Ancient Times’ ‘Divine Dao System,’ which once flourished.” Li Yuan pondered, “According to Daoist Collection Books, after the Ancient Times, heaven and earth changed significantly, breaking the Divine Dao, the Dao Court was established, governing all directions, the Immortal Dao thus thrived, evolving over long ages to the present, the so-called Divine Dao flesh body lineage has only a few body cultivators remaining.”

Ancient Times?

Such a distant past that in the Daoist Collection books Li Yuan read, only a few records remain.

As for body cultivation, over this long period, Li Yuan encountered many in Anshun City, and upon careful observation, indeed found traces of the Star God System, and the star techniques these body cultivators practiced were similar to those in the Divine Realm.

However, in Li Yuan’s view, these body cultivators were too weak.

“These body cultivators have too weak a foundation.”

“Their foundations are generally at the Three Star Meridian, Four Star Meridian level…they find it hard even to reach Fourth Rank Demigod, let alone become Pseudo-Gods.” Li Yuan frowned, “They seem to lack the awareness to proactively awaken their Life Star.”

Yet despite this, the strength of body cultivators, within this world’s cultivators, is already among the strongest of the same rank.

After all, body cultivators possess strong vitality and higher law comprehension within the same realm.

Like Fourth Rank body cultivators (Demigods), their general strength surpasses Nascent Soul Perfection, nearly comparable to Fifth Rank Earth Immortals.

However, body cultivation is extremely challenging, demanding high law comprehension, and due to not cultivating the Primordial Spirit, their lifespan is short…thus, the higher in rank one goes, the fewer the body cultivators become.

“According to the intelligence I bought at South Wind Pavilion, within the territory of Marquis Anshun, there are still a good number of Fourth Rank body cultivators, but there isn’t a single Fifth Rank system present.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “Fifth Rank cultivators are basically all Immortal Dao cultivators.”

This left Li Yuan a bit puzzled.

“The numerous Holy Land sects of this world all trace their lineages back to the Ancient Times.”

“The scarcity of body cultivators shouldn’t interrupt their lineage.”

“It’s as if an invisible hand has erased everything about the ancient Divine Dao system, even the cultivation techniques of that system have become so scarce.” Li Yuan could sense this.

Throughout Anshun City, apart from the Marquis Mansion and those few Great Sect residences, other areas, Li Yuan could infiltrate easily…common array formation restrictions couldn’t stop him.

But Li Yuan ultimately had reservations, so temporarily did not search for more valuable items.

“However.”

“Before, I overestimated this Immortal Dynasty.” Li Yuan recalled some of the things he’d seen over the past month.

In many markets, masses of ordinary people are sold openly in the millions and tens of millions.

There is a large trade in demon essence blood and spiritual soul essence of the Human Race.

That aside.

There were also “Blood Refining Devices,” specifically made to absorb the soul blood of countless lives, shockingly sold openly without reservation, and in the imperial family’s official shops no less.

Even with Li Yuan’s temperament, he couldn’t help but feel a slight killing intent emerge: “Where is the Immortal Dao flourishing, clearly it’s demons rampant, even this Anshun City, the royal family’s treasure shops are like this, globally, I’m afraid it’s the same everywhere.”

“But, acting so wantonly, why is no punishment descending from the heavens?” Li Yuan had many puzzles in his heart.

According to the knowledge he gleaned from soul searching those Nascent Soul cultivators, like Zhi Yun Earth Immortal, who slaughters madly and devours countless common people, are already mired in sin, reaching the level of ‘Blood Shadow Sin,’ making recent experiences of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations incredibly terrifying.

The Changyun Dynasty, on one hand, dispatches Boundary Guardians to hunt those with great sins, on the other hand, themselves sell Great Sin magical treasures.

“Could it be related to the Hongguang Dao Court?” Li Yuan had a realization.

…

In the cave dwelling, with a thought, Li Yuan entered the Ancient Divine Palace, sitting cross-legged in the Main Hall, a piece of corresponding Immortal Dao Method “Thick Earth Divine Essence True Technique” emerged in his mind.

“For such a long time, though collecting much intelligence.”
