This Young Master is not Cannon Fodder

Chapter 478: Monarch At Last



A woman robed in blue sat under the shade of the colossal tree. The tree pierced the planet’s atmosphere and towered over the land. The roots resembled a vast mountain from the woman’s viewpoint, and the trunk made it seem like the pillar that held heaven and earth apart.

The woman sat in a lotus position. Her features were elegant and noble, her aura ethereal. Should any mortal near her, they would hear the cries of their dearly departed or the jubilant cries of their unborn children.

However, that abnormal phenomenon slowly disappeared, and the woman seemed to have merged with nature itself. Unless someone searched closely and purposefully, not even a true immortal could detect her presence.

At this time, a man condensed out of the essence in the air. One side of the man’s face was brimming with life, bright eyes, and a head full of lush black hair, but the other side seemed to be on the brink of death. A wrinkled face, gaunt contortions, and thin, white hair. Like the man’s appearance, he wore a robe of black and white.

He was Sitian, the planet spirit of Fourth Heaven.

Once Tianyi successfully merged the Law of Life and the Law of Death, Sitian found that he had become stronger. No longer was he just an artifact spirit of death, but one of life-and-death. In all honesty, his strength had dropped after Tianyi transplanted him from the Silent Lightning Timeline to his timeline, but Sitian was fine with that. After all, he would eventually disappear in that timeline. At least now he has a chance to continue living.

But after Tianyi upgraded Fourth Heaven, Sitian found that his own strength also increased.

The Nine Heavens Universe also had its own cycle of reincarnation, but it was not as complete as the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System. So far, it was because of Sitian’s efforts that new life could be born and that the dead could be reborn in this vast universe.

After his upgrade, the cycle of reincarnation became smoother. It still had its kinks and the occasional ghosts that would appear, but they would all be teleported onto Fourth Heaven.

Sitian had a feeling that life might explode in the Nine Heavens Universe, instead of only existing on two of eight heavens Tianyi selected in the center of the universe. Upon thinking of this, the planet spirit couldn’t help but sigh. He was born after the primordial era, but that still meant he lived for millions of years.

Tianyi’s cultivation speed during his mortal years was extremely fast, but Sitian knew of those who cultivated even faster. He had to admit, though, that Tianyi’s cultivation speed in the Immortal Realm exceeded all those he had seen.

It might have been because of his unique state of existence, but that didn’t detract from Tianyi’s excellence.

And now, his wife, Daoyi, was about to also successfully merge the Law of Life and the Law of Death into the Law of Life-and-Death.

Because this wasn’t the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System, Daoyi didn’t ascend to the Seamless Immortal Realm, meaning that a Dao Manifestation wouldn’t appear. Actually, even if she ascended, a Dao Manifestation wouldn’t appear. The Nine Heavens Universe didn’t have such a phenomenon.

“Congratulations, Madam, on your successful comprehension of the Law of Life-and-Death,” Sitian said.

Daoyi smiled and stood up. Just standing there, she appeared akin to an ordinary mortal woman, albeit far more beautiful, but how could she really be a mere mortal?

“Thank you for your compliment. I would have been more happy if I comprehended before him, though,” Daoyi said.

“In all honesty, I don’t think the chances of that happening were high,” Sitian said.

“Can’t you at least pretend that I had a chance?” Daoyi griped.

“Sorry, Madam, he is my master,” Sitian said.

Daoyi sighed, and then she saw something out of the corner of her eye. “Since you already know what happened, why are you hiding?”

Tianyi came forward and coughed into his hand. “Do you plan to ascend to the Seamless Immortal Realm after getting out, or do you want to continue and merge more laws into the Law of Life-and-Death?”

Both of them knew that the Law of Life-and-Death had a higher version, the Law of Samsara. Unfortunately, it was too complicated and even Tianyi didn’t have the confidence to succeed. The Law of Samsara was unique to the Chaos Fiendgod of Samsara, just like how the Law of Dreams was unique to the Chaos Fiendgod of Dreams.

Because of the unique way the Law of Samsara was introduced to the Primordial World, it was practically impossible to comprehend it. In the records, only one divinity managed to comprehend it, Empress Ping.

“Forget it, I know my own talent,” Daoyi said. “If you hadn’t comprehended the Law of Life-and-Death, I would have likely spent thousands of years before seeing success, if at all.”

“Since that’s the case, when do you plan to enter the Seamless Immortal Realm?”

Daoyi thought a bit before answering. “Not long. Around one to six months later. I have to consolidate my understanding of the Law of Life-and-Death in order to maximize the effect of the Dao Manifestation.”

Tianyi nodded. For immortals like themselves, one to six months wasn’t that long. If compared to a mortal’s view, it would only be a few hours at most.

Four months later, the sky above Buzhou Island in the center of Trinity Continent tore open, revealing not the Vast Void, but a different world. In it, countless trees and animals thrived. Simultaneously, death filled every meter of the world. The trees withered and animals decayed. Their corpses broken down into nutrients that fed the next generation of life.

Those who comprehend concepts under the Law of Life or the Law of Death would find themselves immersed in this scene.

“Heavens, just which true immortal comprehended the Law of Life-and-Death?” a true immortal of the Immortal Court asked. He lived for a long time, so even though he didn’t understand the profundities of the Dao Manifestation, he still recognized it.

“It must be an ancient immortal lord. They should have long comprehended the Law of Life and the Law of Death, but never stepped into the Seamless Immortal Realm because of their ambition,” another true immortal said.

The Dao Manifestation covered all of Buzhou Island and even extended past the lake it floated onto and parts of Trinity Continent. However, only a small percentage of cultivators truly gained much from the Dao Manifestation. Compared to that, although the percentage of people who gained anything from the Dao Manifestation was small, the number of people was far larger than the Immortal Court because of the larger number of people.

Of course, most of them only gained a little compared to the elites of the Immortal Court. It was like a game character with a low level who used a potion to increase their experience. The potion only increased a fixed percentage, hence the higher leveled characters would obviously gain more experience.

One of the cultivators who became immersed under Daoyi’s Dao Manifestation was a girl by the name of Gan Xuehua. She, like Tianyi and Daoyi, was a reincarnator from Earth. When the Dao Manifestation ended on the fourth day, Gan Xuehua’s eyes revealed a brilliant light. “I’ve mastered the Concept of Toxin. Coupled with the Concept of Vitality, the Concept of Bloodline, and the Concept of Genes, I have full confidence to overcome my Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation.”

Her eyes narrowed, and a killing intent emerged from her body. “Then I’ll take your life, Mu Xuehua.”

When Gan Xuehua reincarnated into the Primordial Realm, she was originally just an ordinary maid by the name of Mu Xuehua. But thanks to the fragment of the Spectral Rising Jewel in her possession, she switched bodies with the thirteenth princess of the Gao Dynasty, Gan Xuehua.

After visiting Buzhou Island for the Immortal Official Conferment Ceremony, Gan Xuehua discovered that there were other reincarnators. She soon joined the Samsara Travelers Chat Group, but she only knew one of the member’s true identity, the legendary Divine Flame Monarch Yan Nie. She only knew the others by their usernames: Ultimate Young Master, and Spider Idol. Yan Nie’s username was Flame-On.

Oh, there was another newbie that joined after her. Thanks to him, Gan Xuehua finally shed her newbie status. However, that wasn’t important.

What was important was all the help the chat group provided her. As long as she could provide new and unique things, she could earn points and use them to exchange with other members. None of the members were skilled in medicine or poison, so she found her own niche.

It wasn’t much, but it allowed her to dabble in alchemy. More importantly, she learned techniques far superior to the Gan Dynasty’s collection. With the chat group, Gan Xuehua strengthened herself as much as possible, so that she could kill Mu Xuehua and keep her current identity.

She felt a bit sorry, but that would not stop her. Pity or mercy didn’t matter, only strength did.fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Back in the Immortal Court, many people gathered on Nine Heavens Mountain. Because of Daoyi’s ascension to an immortal monarch, she gave a sermon to everyone who could ascend Nine Heavens Mountain. The requirements were the same as when Tianyi gave his sermon.

Although Daoyi’s depth of comprehension was not as high as the senior monarchs and emperors, her unique understanding of the Law of Life-and-Death still brought inspiration to many of them.

When Daoyi’s sermon ended, all the people who listened thanked her before leaving. Only a few who had other business remained.

“Congratulations. It’s really a case of double blessings. First, Elder Ri successfully became a merit immortal and now Elder Jiang is also an immortal monarch,” Xia Meng said. He glanced toward Mengfei, who was sitting in the primary seat of the Nine Heavens Palace’s main hall. “Grand Elder Xi is really blessed.”

Mengfei simply glanced at him and nodded, as if it was the truest thing in the world and not a mere compliment.

Xia Meng didn’t quibble and turned toward Tianyi. “Grand Elder Nine Heavens, Is Minister Everpast done with that matter?”

Tianyi closed his eyes and then opened them again. “He’s still busy. What’s wrong? Is there something urgent that needs his attention?”

“Yes,” Xia Meng said. “Our people noticed that Demon Empress Bluefeather and the other demons are appearing less and less. They might be preparing to return to the Divine Beast Pseudo System.”

Tianyi blinked. “Really, I haven’t heard Donghai Longzi mention it. Let me ask.”

After a few minutes, he said, “He hasn’t received any information about them retreating. Demon Empress Bluefeather has kept a tight lip on many matters ever since Yujiao’s betrayal. Even Honglin, Demon Emperor Redraco’s granddaughter, isn’t informed.”

“It’s better to ask Minister Everpast to take charge. We could attack the Demon Clan anywhere from ten years to a hundred years,” Xia Meng said.

“Okay, I’ll tell him,” Tianyi said. Then he cast a sly glance toward Xia Meng. “Since we’re about to attack, shouldn’t we end the so-called cultural exchange program and have those people deliver a message to the Numinous Sword Sect for them to prepare?”

Xia Meng couldn’t laugh or cry. “Okay, okay. Let’s do it your way. The show’s been going on long enough.”

Donghai Longzi didn’t know what was going on in the Primordial Realm. He didn’t even care much about Demon Empress Bluefeather’s suspicion of him. All his attention was on the divine scale attached to his dragon pearl. It was becoming harder and harder to suppress his cultivation. Even if he had plans to continue pretending to be a demon king, he couldn’t anymore. Once he re-entered the Divine Beast Pseudo System, he would ascend to the Demon Emperor Realm.

At this time, he was broken out of his thoughts by Honglin. “Let’s go. Empress Bluefeather has summoned us.”

Honglin’s mood was low, not just because of her uselessness, but because of the failed mission. With the Buddhists and the daoists alerted, it could be said that it would be extremely dangerous for the Demon Clan to relocate. Although she was competitive, she had been taught to care about the future of the Demon Clan as Demon Emperor Redraco’s granddaughter, so it weighed on her consciousness.

Donghai Longzi didn’t offer any words of compassion, he simply nodded.

When the two arrived, they saw many other demons. Most of them the two had seen at certain instances, but never all of them at once. Demon Empress Bluefeather didn’t waste any words and brought out her realm artifact, the Sacred Fire Grotto. “Get in.”
