Chapter 2051 – Quietus

Chapter 2051 – Quietus

“Ancestor’s personal weapon? What is it?” Lu Yun asked raptly.

“A book,” Tailong answered. “A book that represents civilization—the blueprint of his ideal world.”

“A book that represents civilization…” Lu Yun frowned faintly. The Tome of Life and Death was also a book, so no wonder Fuxi and them had misunderstood.

Reincarnation was also a strength that Ancestor had been seeking. He’d used the birth and destruction of civilization to manifest the power of reincarnation, but he looked to have failed. Even his weapon’s whereabouts were unknown.

However, one thing Lu Yun was certain of was that Ancestor’s weapon was absolutely in the chief worlds. It was very possibly in the World of Immortals. The basis of the endless loops in the past Land of Reincarnation was his weapon!

After he fully revealed the Tome of Life and Death to Fuxi and the others, they were certain that it wasn’t Ancestor’s weapon. If Ancestor’s weapon could manifest a perfect existence, why would he need to use himself to create it?

The Three Thousand needed the Major Cycle Worlds to support it. If Ancestor’s world became one of them, it would be assimilated by the Three Thousand and unable to be a complete, independent existence. That was why Ancestor’s corpse was placed in the coffin of empyrean crystal.

Empyrean crystals were also known as world crystals—they could create real worlds. Countless empyrean crystals formed a coffin with layers of world power that naturally deflected the assimilation of the Three Thousand.

Forebear held the same thoughts as well. She fled when Ancestor died, but died from her injuries and buried herself in a coffin of empyrean crystal. The world derived from her was a world of sequence instead of real existence.

The seeds of all worlds of sequence in the chief worlds was from Forebear, including the world of sea dao sequence of the dragons, darkness of the Moran Clan, and the World of Immortals. These three worlds of sequence were a sturdy foundation that were slowly melding into Ancestor’s primordial world of immortals. They supported that world like the sturdy legs of a tripod.

“Ancestor’s weapon…” Lu Yun suddenly thought of someone. “I think I know who his weapon is.”

“Eh? Who? Ancestor’s weapon has taken human form?” Tailong and Fuxi blinked.

“Well, it doesn’t matter if it has,” Fuxi smiled. “That is its destiny if it’s become a living being.”

Since Lu Yun held the Tome of Life and Death, a treasure that surpassed Ancestor’s treasure, he had no need for anything else.

“Violetgrave,” Lu Yun uttered.

“Violetgrave?” The other two looked at each other. “Isn’t she derived from the Netherdark Hell? Her primary body is a sword…”

“Ah, Ancestor’s weapon can take any form and manifest civilization. If she took in the civilization of sword dao, she would be able to manifest as a sword,” Fuxi realized.

Sword dao had not existed in the fourth realm prior to Lu Yun. Its civilization of sword dao vanished after the Sword Sovereign King perished. Sword dao had existed only in the Hongmeng, due to the fact that Violetgrave had devoured the fourth realm’s sword dao and transformed herself into a sword.

Of the five hells created by the god of Mount Tai, Violetgrave appeared in only the Netherdark Hell. That hell was the only one that buried civilization out of the five!

Lu Yun hadn’t thought of Violetgrave as a potential candidate at first. Upon being baptized by the great dao of the Three Thousand, his formula dao reached perfection. There was almost nothing in the chief worlds that he could not deduce anymore. It took only a slight operation to determine many things.

Violetgrave was his subordinate and had long submitted to the Tome of Life and Death, so he easily determined her origins. More importantly was that Diexi—Forebear—and her empyrean crystal coffin was in the only origin hell.

Fuxi and Tailong could come and go from it at will, but they were in no hurry after finding out where Ancestor’s weapon had gone. Things were developing in a better, more perfect direction than they could have hoped for.

“How about the nine clawed golden dragon?” Lu Yun asked. That being was likely someone else’s pawn or the manifestation of yet another nihil powerhouse.

“The nine clawed golden dragon… There’s no need to give him any thought. He’s not good enough to accomplish anything, but he’s more than enough to spoil things,” Tailong shook his head. “You must go now if you want to go to the World Heart. If we give our enemies time to prepare, that might mean additional trouble for you along the way.

“Ah, when I warned you against pulling out the sword, I didn’t mean those words for your ears.”

Lu Yun blinked, suddenly recalling that the nine clawed golden dragon had been with him the last time he saw Tailong. Given the company that he’d kept, Tailong wouldn’t have spoken the truth to him.

“You must pull out the sword, and you’re the only one who can!” Fuxi said. “The primordial world of immortals will be complete only when the sword is removed. That is the only way that the primordial world’s immortal dao can traverse this existence…”

The sword was named Quietus; the first character of its name meant “to sever”. With it planted in Ancestor’s heart, his immortal dao would not flow freely. All of his strength, this existence’s strength, was needed to nurture the primordial world of immortals.

When the primordial world of immortals had been at its prime, it was the core of this existence and the intersection of countless realms.

Lu Yun nodded.

“Of course, it’s the Three Thousand who will stand in your way. You’re just a grand supreme, while Fuxi and I are unable to take action. We would break this existence if we did and waste all of our previous efforts. Therefore, you need to handle the empyrean supremes yourself,” Tailong concluded solemnly.

“Has Daoist Ingress not fully recovered yet?” Lu Yun suddenly recalled Tailong’s junior brother.

“He could’ve recovered his previous nihil realm,” Tailong scowled slightly. “But that kid really thinks he’s the master of the Ingress Jade Heavens and is kicking up a fuss about taking back what is his.”

Lu Yun coughed drily and didn’t respond. Daoist Ingress was in a similar condition to Tailong—fully recovered—but seemed to have received certain troubles for his gains.

“Then I’m going to the World Heart now. Jin Huo…” Lu Yun hesitated.

“Jin Huo will go with you. Only she can compel the tree god’s power and return him to his origin,” Fuxi said seriously.

The tree god was an unparalleled powerhouse of the nothing, empyrean-level battle strength. Once war broke out, he would be a deciding factor in the battlefield.

“Send me to the World Heart,” Lu Yun nodded. “I’ll bring in Jin Huo when I’m there.”
