This Young Master is not Cannon Fodder

Chapter 383: Three Immortal-Ranked Realms

Confucius smiled, neither denying nor confirming Daoist Lu’s words.

“How much longer until you plan to form your realm?” Daoist Lu asked.

“In a few months.”

“So fast?” Daoist Lu asked. Although a few months sounded long, but this was creating a realm. Even if it took hundreds of thousands of years, it would be considered short. In other words, Confucius had been planning this for a long time. “You never planned to compete with the Buzhou Immortal Sect, did you?”

Confucius just stroked his long beard. “I still want my face when the truth comes out.”

Daoist Lu said nothing as he took another swig from his wine jug. The two fell into silence, but the atmosphere didn’t turn awkward. At their realm, they could start meditating and comprehending the worldly laws at a moment’s notice. Even if they continued to talk, it would only affect the efficiency of their comprehension speed.

Like this, four months passed. During this time, the Saintly Scholar Sect had dispatched numerous immortals everywhere on the Mortal Continent and the millions of kilometers surrounding it. The immortal scholars weren’t visiting these places to write poems or for painting but to set up protective formations. Although it was called a protective formation, it had a strong stabilization effect. for new novels

The immortal scholars didn’t know why they were setting up the formations, but they had also heard what happened on the Heaven Continent and Earth Continent. It would be a lie to say that the shocking revelations did not worry them. They had confidence in their founder, Confucius, but that didn’t prevent them from fearing the Buzhou Immortal Sect’s momentum. With the Heaven and Earth Continent under their control, the only one outside of the Buzhou Immortal Sect’s control was the Saintly Scholar School on the Earth Continent.

After the Saintly Scholar School finished setting up all the formation, Confucius appeared in the sky above the Mortal Continent, much like Tianyi before he destroyed the Eight Pillar Sect. However, unlike Tianyi, he wasn’t attempting to destroy anything.

Confucius spread out his arms and a taiji-sphere appeared from his chest. The taiji sphere continued to grow and grow. Seconds turned to minutes, minutes turned to hours, and hours turned to days. At first, it only covered the Saintly Scholar School, but it soon encapsulated much of the Mortal Continent, and then even beyond that. Wherever it passed, the formations established by the immortal scholars began to resonate with the taiji sphere.

The expansion of the taiji sphere didn’t stop until it covered around a fifth of the Huang Realm.

The commotion attracted all powerful experts in the Huang Realm. Even the mortal cultivators could sense an abnormal air in the world. Strangely, the Buzhou Immortal Sect didn’t take action. They didn’t even dispatch anyone to investigate. It was as if they were oblivious to the dramatic changes occurring in the Huang Realm.

However, that was not the case as numerous immortal monarchs and all the immortal emperors observed the situation from the edge of the Heaven Continent. Sect Master Xia, the Eternal Night Emperor, the Cloud Goddess, Grand Elder Zhang, and Xi Mengfei all stared.

Among them was naturally Xi Tianyi. Unlike the wariness of the others, his eyes were glued to the changes. That taiji sphere didn’t just contain the Law of Yin and the Law of Yang, but many other laws such as the five elements. More importantly, he could sense a greater law, one at the divine level.

Now, some people might not dare to attempt to comprehend the profundities displayed by Confucius, fearing they might bite off more than they could chew. If they rashly attempted to comprehend a law beyond their capabilities, it might damage their souls, or worse. People had different talents and attributes, making them suited for different laws. If they tried to comprehend an unsuitable law, it might harm them instead.

But would Tianyi even consider this possibility? Obviously not, and he had complete confidence in his abilities. He widened his eyes and experienced the wonders of the taiji sphere surrounding the Mortal Continent and its surrounding waters.

High in the sky, Confucius sensed Tianyi’s intent, and a slight smile appeared on his face. “Interesting.”

The outspoken immortal monarch opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but no words came out. His throat became incredibly dry, as if he hadn’t drunk for months. Not only that, he couldn’t move his body at all except for his eyes. To his further terror, his skin paled as the blood left the surface.

Under the horrified eyes, the immortal monarch’s aura disappeared. With just a thought, Sect Master Xia had killed an immortal monarch. After the display, none of the immortals present dared to question the Buzhou Immortal Sect.

Still, they couldn’t help but question how Sect Master Xia had killed the immortal monarch. Sure, they felt the fluctuations of immortal qi, but they didn’t sense any overt techniques. Only those who had embarked on the path of comprehending the Law of Water realized a bit of the truth.

Water existed everywhere, even in the air as tiny molecules. In addition, the Law of Blood was intricately linked to the Law of Water because blood was a liquid. Sect Master Xia first controlled the water molecules into the air and then shackled the immortal monarch with them. Next, he controlled the blood in the body to extinguish the immortal monarch’s life.

Sect Master Xia looked away. Although it was important to establish a righteous and magnanimous image, it was equally important to maintain the image of absolute power. Plus, although he had a good talk with Tianyi, the Xia Yushan incident still left a mark on his heart. Who told the outspoken immortal monarch to paint a target on himself?

With the distraction over, all the immortals paid attention to the separation of the Mortal Continent.

As the taiji sphere continued to pull away from the Huang Realm, the point of contact shrunk. It was much like when you split a water droplet in two, the point of contact between the two droplets would narrow until total separation. A few lucky immortals who comprehended a portion of the Law of Water gained some insights and would achieve greater success in the future.

Although seemingly terrifying and undoubtedly world-changing, the Mortal Continent successfully separated from the Huang Realm with no accidents. Once the spatial rift healed, the denizens of the Huang Realm could no longer see the Mortal Continent.

However, that was not the end. Although the Mortal Continent was extracted successfully, Confucius had not finished. With Confucius no longer present, the black clouds of heavenly punishment began to disappear. But before completely disappearing, it shot out one last bolt of punishment lightning.

Daoyi had already distanced herself from Tianyi, knowing his innate lightning rod attribute. And, as she expected, the punishment lightning struck Tianyi. However, it was only one bolt made up of the residual heavenly punishment, so it did not injure Tianyi at all. That didn’t mean Tianyi was happy, though.

Tianyi flipped the bird at the sky, and the heavenly punishment thundered one last time before evaporating completely. He snorted and waved his hand, slicing a spatial rift and flying out. Daoyi also flew out, but she didn’t need to worry about the harsh environment of the Vast Void with Tianyi’s protection.

Upon seeing this, the immortal emperor-level experts and above also flew out. Only a few peak immortal monarchs who had confidence in their strength followed. As for true immortals, they didn’t even dare. In the Vast Void, their strength would dramatically decrease. A few immortal monarchs couldn’t stand it, but the grand elders of the Buzhou Immortal Sect protected them. As for the loose immortal monarchs, who would care for them?

Confucius sensed their arrival, but didn’t care. Under his control, over ten high-ranking realms floated toward the taiji sphere and merged with it. The process took over a hundred years, but none of the spectating immortals left. When all the high-ranking realms merged, the taiji sphere disappeared, but the Vast Void did not destroy it—because the Mortal Continent had become a new immortal-ranking realm.

As if to announce its birth, a profound wave emanated from it, buffeting the shrunken Huang Realm and Numinous Realm. Accompanying it were Confucius’s words. “From henceforth, I announce the birth of the Virtuous Realm!”

From now on, the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System would now have three immortal-ranking realms.

Sect Master Xia flew to Tianyi. “How about we also begin the transformation of the Huang Realm?”

Tianyi nodded. “Alright.”

Under everyone’s eyes, Tianyi flew above the Huang Realm, and a silver-gold light erupted from him.
