223: Chapter 222: Promises of the Past (9th Update, Please Subscribe) 223: Chapter 222: Promises of the Past (9th Update, Please Subscribe) Ye Xuan was serene and tranquil, as if he had become one with Heaven and Earth, quietly perceiving something.

Having reached Perfection in the Mahayana Realm with his flawless Half-Immortal Body, Ye Xuan could feel not only the rhythm of this realm with his mind and body but also the oppressive might of Heaven and Earth looming over him from the unknown.

Ye Xuan felt that if he were to fully unleash the power of his Mahayana Cultivation, he could summon the Nine Heavens Immortal Tribulation right at that moment and undergo the legendary ordeal of becoming immortal.

However, having just entered the Mahayana Realm and not yet stabilized in this state, Ye Xuan naturally wouldn’t blindly draw forth the Nine Heavens Immortal Tribulation; he needed to elevate himself to the absolute pinnacle before attempting to transcend the ordeal of becoming immortal.

“Come find me at Duantian Mountain in half a year’s time,” Ye Xuan said in a gentle whisper.

“I will summon the Immortal Tribulation there.

If I succeed in crossing it, I will naturally honor my promise and take you back to the Earth Immortal Realm.”

As he took a step forward, the space around him twisted and a black cloud rose beneath his feet.

His entire being then merged into the void, eerily disappearing from the sight of the Moon God.

“Cloud Riding Technique?” The Moon God exclaimed in shock, her pupils dilating in disbelief of what she was seeing.

What exactly is the Cloud Riding Technique?

The Cloud Riding Technique, while not a particularly remarkable magic in the Earth Immortal Realm, is associated with a strict condition: it is a general technique used by immortals, requiring one to have the cultivation of an immortal to perform it.

This is an ironclad rule universally acknowledged in the Earth Immortal Realm.

What, then, had the Moon God witnessed?

Ye Xuan had not yet become an Immortal, yet he was able to perform the Cloud Riding Technique.

If the Moon God had not seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it impossible to believe such a preposterous occurrence could happen before her.

“It must be because of the Mahayana Realm; what secrets does this realm hold?” Murmured the Moon God, her entire being falling into a daze.

…

Across the vast sky, Ye Xuan soared on his cloud.

With his hands clasped behind him and black clouds racing beneath him, he traversed thousands of miles in the blink of an eye, experiencing a terrifying speed that truly made him understand why immortals reign supreme while mortals crawl like ants.

The different layers of life between immortals and mortals destined the spells they cast to be unlike each other.

Ye Xuan knew that the Cloud Riding Technique was a law of immortals and, in theory, since he had not yet become an immortal, he shouldn’t have been able to perform such Immortal Techniques.

Yet, for some reason, upon entering the Mahayana Realm, he felt as if performing the Cloud Riding Technique was simply effortless, mastered just by the thought of it.

Ye Xuan did not ponder why he was able to perform this technique, as it seemed to be an innate talent he had always possessed, and it didn’t stir the slightest ripple in his heart.

In the outskirts of the Capital City of Xia Country.

In an unnamed mountain range that rose and fell continuously, green Cang Song pines could be seen everywhere.

The sound of birdsong occasionally pierced the air, and a breeze brought the fresh scent of grass and trees, making one’s breathing feel refreshingly clear.

Above the summit, a sea of clouds billowed.

With his feet firmly on the ground, the black clouds beneath Ye Xuan dispersed without a trace.

Gazing at the churning clouds, he leaped toward the cliff and plummeted downward.

At the bottom of the cliff, an ancient cave bore the marks of time, and as Ye Xuan entered, a cry of surprise reached his ears.

“Master, Mr.

Ye has arrived.”

Deep within the cave, the once vibrant Spiritual Spring had dried up, and Liu Baiyi’s Primordial Spirit was listless, occupied with painting something on the wall, his expression extremely focused, not even stirred by Xue Ji’s cry of alarm.

“Do not disturb him.”

Ye Xuan strolled forward until he stood by Liu Baiyi’s side.

His gaze fixed on the Array Diagram on the wall, and his eyes suddenly narrowed, with a strange gleam flashing across them.

“Qiankun Inverted, Life and Death Eight Gates, Yin Yang Qi reverses heaven and earth, this Array…”

Ye Xuan’s sight was incredibly sharp, and with just a glance, he could tell that the Array Diagram Liu Baiyi was drawing was extraordinary.

More surprisingly, if Ye Xuan was not mistaken, this was the Ultimate Formation Liu Baiyi had been researching, created to help him withstand the Nine Heavens Immortal Tribulation.

“Wrong, it’s not about reversing the Yin Yang Qi of heaven and earth, but about reversing the Origin of heaven and earth, turning blood into Spiritual Energy, forging an Immortal Body with Nine Heavens Immortal Thunder.

I call this formation the Reverse Immortal Array, and it is the pinnacle of my Liu Baiyi’s centuries of study.”

Liu Baiyi’s Primordial Spirit trembled, completely oblivious to Ye Xuan’s presence, fixated on the ultimate Array Diagram on the wall, he had fallen into a state of madness.

“No, the position of the Life Gate is slightly off; if Immortal Thunder descends, the entire Array will collapse.” Liu Baiyi muttered deliriously, his ethereal hand erased a flaw, continuing to focus on correcting the ultimate Array Diagram on the wall.

“Mr.

Ye, ever since you and my master had a profound discussion a few years ago, he has been obsessively researching this Reverse Immortal Array, neglecting rest and food.

But now he has become fixated, unresponsive to anyone’s call,” said Xue Ji with a worried face as she bowed to Ye Xuan.

Looking at Liu Baiyi’s obsessed and focused expression, Ye Xuan sighed deeply, a speck of blood light at his fingertip springing to life, quietly touching Liu Baiyi’s forehead as his voice rang out, deep and resonant.

“Brother Baiyi, awake.”

Hum!

The vibrations in Liu Baiyi’s Primordial Spirit shifted, his concentrated expression turning into confusion, but then his eyes quickly focused.

When he saw Ye Xuan’s face, he exclaimed in astonishment, “Brother Ye, when did you arrive?”

“Master, you scared me to death, if not for Mr.

Ye’s arrival, I truly feared you’d exhaust your Primordial Spirit and perish.”

Xue Ji choked up, quickly explaining the situation of these past few years as Liu Baiyi had immersed himself in the Reverse Immortal Array, which made Liu Baiyi’s face turn awkward.

He coaxed Xue Ji until her tears turned into laughter.

After comforting Xue Ji, Liu Baiyi, though his Primordial Spirit was weakened, said excitedly, “Brother Ye, when you gave me many Array books all those years ago, I researched day and night, and finally, I created this Reverse Immortal Array.

Just give me three more years, this Ultimate Formation will be perfected, and by then, Brother Ye, your chance of overcoming the Nine Heavens Immortal Tribulation will increase by a full twenty percent.”

Looking at Liu Baiyi, who was as excited as a child, Ye Xuan sighed and said, “Brother Baiyi, you have suffered much these years, and I appreciate your good intentions, but I’m afraid I won’t be needing this Reverse Immortal Array anymore.”

“Eh?”

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Liu Baiyi’s face froze, and then he asked anxiously, “Brother Ye, have you already entered the Tribulation Crossing Late Stage and can summon the Nine Heavens Immortal Tribulation?”

Seeing Liu Baiyi’s Primordial Spirit fluctuating unstably, Ye Xuan nodded slightly, confirming his guess, causing a touch of bitterness to sweep across Liu Baiyi’s face.

“Alas, it’s still my failure, Liu Baiyi, after all these years, I’ve yet to complete the Reverse Immortal Array,” Liu Baiyi said with a self-deprecating smile.
