I Became A Cannon Fodder In A Female Protagonist Cultivation Novel Chapter 679 -: Complete The Immortal King Validation? It’s Easy! Let Me Teach You! (Part 2)
Previously on I Became A Cannon Fodder In A Female Protagonist Cultivation Novel...
The genesis of all this can be traced back to the fallen immortals.
However, this was no ordinary "Fellow Daoist Fallen Immortal!"
The concept of fallen immortals possessed a vast history, and they were customarily categorized into two distinct groups.
Within this classification, one group encompassed the other.
The encompassed group consisted of figures like Su Yier and Lin Xianer. The entity doing the encompassing, the "one" that held the "other," was none other than Fang Jinyu's "system."
Yet, Fang Jinyu's "system" remained an absolute secret, never to be unveiled.
Conversely, the "other" actively influenced this world, particularly the sole vessel for the immortal realm's path of fallen immortals. Despite her unrevealed talents, her cultivation base paled only in comparison to that of an immortal king.
Nevertheless, this was something even the sole vessel remained unaware of.
She was required to relinquish love to attain such power, a thing she cherished above all else!
Consequently, this situation presented a paradox akin to the final impasse before achieving the Transcendence Moment Dragon state!
Fang Jinyu withdrew his gaze and, with a mere wave of his hand, permitted time to resume its course within the immortal realm. The grand competition to forge a realm through karma and select the supreme had reached its conclusion.
In the absence of Fang Jinyu's intervention and influence, the Imperial Seal of the Great Night, having secured the favor of the immortal realm's path of fallen immortals, emerged as the ultimate victor!
However, this triumph also placed the Imperial Seal of the Great Night in direct opposition to all the "Heavenly Immortals."
The Immortal Palace's original "path of justice" had already incurred the ire of several "Heavenly Immortals" due to past grievances, thereby creating fresh animosity!
Therefore, had Fang Jinyu not orchestrated the supreme bestowment phenomenon upon departing the karma realm, those "Heavenly Immortals" would have undoubtedly launched an assault.
The "Heavenly Immortal" echelon, though detached from the mundane world, was not entirely severed from its affairs.
"Haha! I am victorious!"
Upon realizing Fang Jinyu's disappearance and finding himself as the sole occupant of the supreme bestowal platform, the proponent of the Immortal Palace's initial "path of justice" erupted in elation.
He had engaged in a life-or-death struggle, never anticipating such a glorious outcome.
He instantly felt that his previous, potentially fatal, gambit had been utterly worthwhile!
"Yes, yes, indeed, you have triumphed..." Fang Jinyu gazed down upon the immortal realm, a gentle smile gracing his lips as he echoed the sentiment. After all, the Imperial Seal of the Great Night had undeniably secured victory.
With that, Fang Jinyu lifted his hand and made a pointing gesture.
Given Fang Jinyu's status as the inaugural supreme ruler of the immortal realm, a degree of deference was certainly warranted.
The instant Fang Jinyu raised his hand, the entirety of the immortal realm trembled, and cascades of immortal light descended.
Witnesses observed the Imperial Seal of the Great Night instantly regaining its peak prowess, bathed in the effulgent immortal light. Furthermore, artifacts materialized within his grasp.
One such item was the "Boundless Myriad Virtues Only Forgive the Pure Yang Decree," a supreme treasure meticulously crafted for an exalted immortal king, and indeed, a former artifact of the Imperial Seal of the Great Night. This superior treasure had, however, been lost to him when his virtue waned.
As for the second artifact, while not something he possessed previously, it was unequivocally a supreme treasure of the Immortal Palace!
It was an extraordinary tome!
This very book had once been in the company of Immortal King Green Supreme, who had placed several layers of seals upon it, permitting its tool spirit to unleash the immortal treasure's full might. Now, with the seals shattered, the extraordinary book revealed the supreme dominance it had wielded throughout ages past.
A sequence of ethereal chains, capable of ensnaring a person's destiny, unfurled from the extraordinary book. Even a Supreme True Immortal could potentially meet their demise upon contact with its malevolent energy.
His cultivation base restored! Two supreme treasures at his command!
This spectacular display of supreme bestowment drew the attention of numerous "Heavenly Immortals."
Previously, Fang Jinyu had advanced a single step, proceeding directly to the end of the "Heavenly Immortal" echelon, perceiving the immortal realm's heavenly laws with a single glance, yet they remained elusive to these beings!
After all, they lacked the assistance of an immortal king to aid their calculations.
"Many thanks, Immortal King Green Supreme!"
The Imperial Seal of the Great Night hastily clasped his fists in gratitude towards Qing Fu.
Although endless blessings would have accompanied Fang Jinyu's ascension to immortal king, this was contingent on the immortal king's non-interference. Presently, Fang Jinyu withheld those blessings, resulting in no one within the immortal realm, save for Chi Suzi, being privy to Fang Jinyu's true cultivation level. Consequently, the inhabitants of the immortal realm mistakenly believed Qing Fu to be the one who had intervened.
Indeed, achieving the status of immortal king was an exceptionally arduous feat.
Therefore, it was unfathomable that Fang Jinyu had already attained immortal kinghood!
With the Great Night Imperial Seal achieving the status of the foremost power in the immortal realm, palpable elation surged through the Immortal Palace. This signified the preservation of their esteemed immortal positions!
Joined in their joy were numerous self-proclaimed immortal races!
Ever since Fang Jinyu's ascension into the immortal realm, the dominion of these self-proclaimed immortal races had been steadily declining. Initially, they dared to plot, but upon hearing Fang Jinyu's name, a tremor of apprehension would invariably grip them.
It could be asserted that the overwhelming pressure Fang Jinyu exerted upon these self-styled immortal races arguably surpassed that of an Immortal King!
Yet, whether it be the Great Night Imperial Seal, the multitude of Immortal Lords within the Immortal Palace who had aligned themselves with the Great Night Imperial Seal, or those self-proclaimed immortal races, none could have foreseen that almost concurrently with the Great Night Imperial Seal becoming the supreme entity of the immortal realm, the pervasive aura of the devil's path would engulf the world, and the progenitor of the devil's path, 'Fang Jinyu,' would materialize before the assembled immortals.
'The devil's path flourishes as the cultivation path wanes, and the cultivation path advances as the devil's path recedes. Such are the celestial laws. From this moment forth, the devil's path shall be established!'
The progenitor of the devil's path, 'Fang Jinyu,' proclaimed.
'We heed the command of the devil's progenitor!'
Those cultivators who had practiced Fang Jinyu's ancient spells responded in unison, their transformations complete as they embraced the path of the devil.
'Fang Jinyu!'
The devil's progenitor bellowed Fang Jinyu's name in fury, yet found himself powerless.
This was due to the undeniable truth that 'the devil's path develops when the cultivation path is destroyed, and the cultivation path develops when the devil's path is destroyed' was indeed a celestial decree. The revival of the devil's path led to an augmentation of the immortal realm's power.
The 'Heavenly Immortals,' who possessed the ability to traverse the future at will within the confines of an Immortal King's authority, experienced trepidation unlike any before.
However, the restriction imposed by the Immortal King on traveling to the past was entirely rescinded.
Gazing upon a future fraught with peril, they found solace in the newfound ease of returning to the past.
At this juncture, the devil's progenitor, 'Fang Jinyu,' offered a smile upon hearing the Great Night Imperial Seal's words. He stated, 'Fellow Daoist Great Night Imperial Seal, cease your agitation. The conclusion has not yet arrived!'
Following these words, the devil's progenitor, 'Fang Jinyu,' gestured, dispersing myriad devil seeds.
'The cultivators assembled here are consumed by avarice and murderous intent. Should they neglect the cultivation of their mental state, they are unworthy of the immortal title! Consequently, every cultivator shall henceforth confront a demonic tribulation! Those who have diligently cultivated their mental states shall be spared the descent into demonic tribulation! As Qi Condensation stage cultivators ascend to the Foundation Establishment stage, they shall encounter the greed-demonic tribulation. When Foundation Establishment stage cultivators break through to the Core Formation stage, the desire-demonic tribulation shall await them. And as Core Formation stage cultivators advance to the Nascent Soul stage, the mental-demonic tribulation will be their trial...'
As the devil's progenitor, 'Fang Jinyu,' concluded his declaration, the immortal realm reverberated with a collective response, and various forms of 'demonic tribulations' were systematically integrated into the cultivation journey.
From this point forward, if Fang Jinyu wished to achieve a breakthrough, he could no longer rely solely on elixirs but would be compelled to surmount the demonic tribulation!
Witnessing this profound shift, it was not only the numerous cultivators of the Immortal stage but also the Great Night Imperial Seal whose expression contorted in shock. This was because even an ancient and exalted immortal like himself, who had long reached the zenith of the immortal path, was now subject to the ordeal of the demonic tribulation!
A minor tribulation would manifest every millennium, and a major tribulation every ten millennia, an unending cycle!
'Fang Jinyu!'
Undoubtedly, the number of individuals harboring animosity towards Fang Jinyu swelled dramatically. Even those cultivators who practiced the devil's path could not help but feel that their ancestor's actions were rather malevolent, for the impending demonic tribulations would also befall them!
However, Fang Jinyu bestowed upon them a measure of leniency. Any cultivator who failed to overcome the demonic tribulation could undergo transformation into a heavenly devil, forfeiting all consciousness thereafter. Yet, for a brief period every hundred years, they would receive a respite, a chance to recuperate and regain their sentience!
Having ordained these demonic tribulations, Fang Jinyu departed. Nevertheless, every cultivator across the globe now shared in his decree.
After all, in the prevailing cultivation environment of the immortal realm, how many individuals truly dedicated themselves to the refinement of their state of mind?
The plight of the so-called immortal races was particularly dire. Regardless of their former arrogance, misfortune befell them. Each faced either the peril of Qi deviation or already suffered from its effects.
Consequently, these immortal races were now merely a shadow of their former selves, existing only in name.
