《Heaven's Devourer》Chapter 1321: The Major Change to the Floating Dreams Pagoda
Advertisement
Wu Yu had three black lines hanging on his forehead.
After smiling sheepishly for a long time, the Full Moon of Nanshan remarked, "What a heart-rending parting~ I'm so jealous. I have long wanted to ask you to leave the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm. Since we arrived in the sky palaces, I haven't seen a single ordinary beauty from within the Floating Dreams Pagoda."
Ye Xixi's face darkened instantly.
"Foolish pig, are you blind?" She pulled a long face, turned to Wu Yu, and said, "Big Brother Yu, I'm not happy. I'm protesting to chase him out of the Floating Dreams Pagoda. I no longer want to see him every day. He's not even as cute as my Lazy."
"Chey~ I don't want to see you either. You aren't even as attractive as Lazy."
"YOU???" Wu Yu found a deserted area within the Dragon Immortal Sky to settle down. He wasn't in a hurry to rush into the Sublime Gracious Sky. Instead, he wanted to take some time to strengthen himself further.
"I suspect the Floating Dreams Sword and the Floating Dreams Pagoda are more than meet the eye when placed together. It's very likely that both come from the Floating Dreams Immortal King. Let me give it a try. The Floating Dreams Pagoda might just be a destinable immortal treasure, considering that we have yet to plumb the depths of it even now."
He dug a deep cave in the ground of the Dragon Immortal Sky before pulling out the Floating Dreams Pagoda and the Floating Dreams Sword.
The Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi also came out of the Floating Dreams Pagoda and stayed beside Wu Yu.
The Full Moon of Nanshan said, "I'm still puzzled. If those four were really closely connected, what happened exactly for three of them to leave their legacies in the Jambu Realm, while the other remained in the sky palaces? Why would they leave their legacies behind? Furthermore, we haven't been able to find stories about them in the sky palaces."
Wu Yu shook his head and said, "From the memories I have, immortals that have lived for hundreds of millions of years like the Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor are well-known throughout. Perhaps those four weren't at that level. However, there are also many immortal kings within the sky palaces that everyone would recognize. Yet the achievements of the quartet shouldn't just be at the level of an Immortal King."
"The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, the Victorious Fighting Buddha. Marshal Tian Peng was also known as the Envoy of the Cleansed Altar. The Curtain Lifting General’s alias was the Golden-bodied Arhat. As for the ancestor of the mystical dragon, he was known as the Eight Division Heavenly Dragon." Ye Xixi couldn't decipher who they really were in the sky palaces.
Wu Yu nodded and said, "Regardless of who they were or the secrets surrounding them, we should find out as we progress and cultivate further."
The Full Moon of Nanshan remarked, "First, our cultivation ways are different from a typical immortal’s. Wu Yu's Great Way of Immortality Art, Ye Xixi's Ten Wheels Bodhisattva Ghostly Immortal Mantra, and the Archaic Divine Dragon Emperor Mantra that Luo Pin has just inherited are all authentic immortal or ghostly immortal cultivation arts. However, the four of us have other cultivation arts for our physical bodies. Other than immortal energy, there are other types of energy encompassed within our physical bodies.

"For example, your Invincible Vajra Body bears buddha energy.
"As for my Nine Cycles of the Imperial Immortal Body, it bears an energy similar to immortal energy and also your buddha energy. I named it imperial energy.
"For Ye Xixi's Hell Incarnation Avatar, other than the ghostly immortal energy within her ghostly spirit, she also has a different energy within her physical body known as incarnation energy.
"Luo Pin inherited the cultivation art of the Eight Division Heavenly Dragon Avatar. Clearly, she will also gain two forms of energy once she starts cultivating her physical body. As for the cultivation arts of one's physical body, there are large differences to the cultivation arts in the Heavenly Domain. Therefore, my guess is that the quartet might possess cultivation arts from two domains. Or perhaps I should say two systems. The cultivation system of the physical body might have long been forgotten with the passage of time. Or perhaps it might come from another domain?"
Ye Xixi said, "Most likely, they were lost in the passage of time. The Heavenly Domain represents the limits of the world."
At this point, Wu Yu seemed to have recalled something from the distant past.
When Ye Xixi was done speaking, Wu Yu shook his head and said, "Perhaps there might really be another domain!"
"Why would you say so?"
Wu Yu recalled and said, "When I first obtained the Ruyi Jingu Bang, I remember the voice saying he was the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal from the Heavenly Domain and the Victorious Fighting Buddha from the Heavenly Buddha's Domain! Therefore, my guess is that the titles Victorious Fighting Buddha, Envoy of the Cleansed Altar, Golden-bodied Arhat, and Eight Division Heavenly Dragon were from the Heavenly Buddha's Domain."
This happened so long ago that he had almost forgotten about it.
"There's a Heavenly Buddha's Domain?" Neither of them had heard about it from their predecessors.
"So that's how it is... Perhaps there really is a Heavenly Buddha's Domain. However, why does it seem like no one in the sky palaces knows anything about it? At the very least, they should be aware of it and it shouldn't be as it is now. There must have been legends lingering around."
Wu Yu took a deep breath and said, "My suggestion is to not ask anyone about the Heavenly Buddha's Domain."
"Why?"
Wu Yu answered, "We don't know if them leaving behind their legacies has something to do with the Heavenly Buddha's Domain. Once we start asking around, others might know we are related to the four of them. Furthermore, others don't seem to be aware of the existence of the Heavenly Buddha's Domain. Let's take it one step at a time. As we progress in cultivation, perhaps these mysteries will be unveiled."
No matter what secrets were concerned, there would be a day where the truth was uncovered.
"Yeah, that's reasonable."
It was especially so for the Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi, who were still really weak and couldn't take any blows.
"I don't know what they want us to do...." Ye Xixi's watery eyes widened while she rested her cheek on her hand and pondered.
Wu Yu put aside matters that were still too far beyond him and focused on studying the Floating Dreams Sword and the Floating Dreams Pagoda.

"The Floating Dreams Immortal King, a Great Void Immortal Realm expert, was extremely skilled…. He took a long time to forge the Floating Dreams Sword."
The Full Moon of Nanshan took a few glances and said with conviction, "I have to say, these two items look like they were cut from the same cloth."
"Yeah."
Wu Yu shared the same view the more he observed. It was especially so for some symbols that were exactly the same.
"In that case, I’ll go with the old trick of slicing it to see if there's any changes!"
He had decided to risk it. After affixing the Floating Dreams Pagoda on to the ground, he sliced it with the Floating Dreams Sword without a second word!
Dang!
This time, the Floating Dreams Sword that could slice the white dragon scale was surprisingly deflected away.
As for the Floating Dreams Pagoda, ripples reverberated on the surface and an ear-piercing screech propagated out. Wu Yu saw that a spirit design that was surrounding the Floating Dreams Pagoda seemed to have been torn.
Obviously, that should be an immortal design.
Wu Yu had never noticed the existence of this immortal design previously.
When the immortal design broke, the Floating Dreams Pagoda changed completely. The aura of a destinable immortal treasure was released instantly. It was mysterious and powerful, as though it had just undergone a huge metamorphosis.
"The Floating Dreams Pagoda is indeed a destinable immortal treasure. However, it was sealed with an immortal design previously, likely by the Floating Dreams Immortal King himself. However, why would the Floating Dreams Immortal King be in the Taigu Immortal Path?"
To this day, Wu Yu still found the Taigu Immortal Path to be a little mysterious.
However, his focus was now solely on the Floating Dreams Pagoda. He would have to form a blood bond with it again. When his mind entered the Floating Dreams Pagoda, he was astonished.
The Floating Dreams Sword had 500 million spirit designs.
As for the Floating Dreams Pagoda, it had 800 million spirit designs! Once a treasure reached 1 billion spirit designs, it would be a great void immortal treasure! Wu Yu had never expected the Floating Dreams Pagoda to be an even more incredible destinable immortal treasure than the Floating Dreams Sword.
He took a long time to familiarize himself with the spirit designs. The marvel of the Floating Dreams Pagoda wasn't the puppets. One could say that the puppets were just the accessories. The main marvel was in "time."
Wu Yu didn't know how the Floating Dreams Immortal King had achieved the means to control time. The immortal design within was used to manipulate time.
The first design was the River of Time. Within the Floating Dreams Pagoda, it could alter the flow and speed of time. The 10 times time Wu Yu had previously experienced was due to this immortal design. Through this immortal design, and with what Wu Yu was capable of currently, he could roughly control the flow to 100 times. This was his limit for now, but it was uncertain if he could go further in the future.
Regardless, time flowing 100 times faster was already a frightening thought! For example, a year outside would be 100 years within the Floating Dreams Pagoda. 10 years outside would be 1,000 years inside!
The second immortal design could be used in battle and was known as the Time Warp Immortal Design. This would apply the changes to the flow of time beyond the interior of the Floating Dreams Pagoda. Wu Yu still couldn't understand the marvel of time. However, he could use it through the Floating Dreams Pagoda. Once triggered, he could form an immortal design with a disrupted time flow. He wouldn't be affected, but it would likely be difficult for his opponent to use his full strength amidst the changes in time. Therefore, the Time Warp Immortal Design might be a dreadful immortal design that was similar to the Immortal Cloud Field.
Wu Yu studied the two immortal designs eagerly. When he mastered them, a month had passed. However, this had also greatly enhanced Wu Yu's battle prowess. If he had the Floating Dreams Sword and Floating Dreams Pagoda previously, he would have beaten the Immortal Lord Realm Tian Ming Dragon Lord easily.
Once he was done, the trio entered the Floating Dreams Pagoda. Wu Yu adjusted the time flow to roughly 100 times.
100 years in it would just be a year inside.
This was beyond all common reason. The Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi couldn't be happier, as time was what they required the most.
As for cultivation resources, Wu Yu had plenty. For battle experience, they could spar with each other.
Wu Yu sent the first Immortal Message Talisman to Luo Pin saying, "I'll be training in seclusion for a year in the Dragon Immortal Sky fist. I miss you. Don't worry about me."
Soon, a reply came back. She said, "I'll be training behind closed doors for some time to study the two cultivation arts."
Wu Yu replied, "Remember to master the Eight Division Heavenly Dragon Avatar."
Luo Pin responded, "I will."
The Immortal Message Talismans from Luo Pin carried her scent. Therefore, Wu Yu put them away carefully.
He was going to train in seclusion for 100 years with the accelerated time!
The goals were to practice some battle techniques and also improve his four mystiques.
First, Wu Yu delved into the Ground Demon Transformation Art. This was an elite immortal technique, although he didn't know the exact class. At the very least, it was beyond Immortal Lord Realm techniques. Without the help from the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, it was extremely difficult for Wu Yu to start, as he had no clue. He estimated that this Transformation Art would be too difficult even for those at the Great Void Immortal Realm.
Therefore, even though he had 20 techniques from the Ground Demon Transformation Art to practice, he couldn't improve further and could only place them aside.
Next, he went with the three Immortal Lord Realm techniques he had gained from the Dragon Emperor's Purgatory. However, casting Immortal Lord Realm techniques required the power of a realm. At this moment, he didn't possess such capabilities.
Therefore, he was left with improving on his Natural Mystiques.

She expects death, but instead wakes up to a looming clock tower, cobblestone streets, and dead soldiers wearing lockets just like her mother's.

Inside, Kess finds an even darker side of the city bent on killing the Errant-using any means necessary.
