Necropolis Immortal

w what you’ve done, Lu Yun?!” one of the immortals demanded in rage.
“A killing spree is inevitable when a zombie of the peerless immortal realm is out in the wild! You have wronged our entire world!”

“The heritage of the ancient lord is important, but we would rather give it up than have a vicious monster like that on the loose!” Fingers waggled and curses hurtled, as if Lu Yun was the enemy of all humanity.

“What about the Sugato Sword?” someone else asked.
“Do you have it?”

Ardent looks shone a spotlight on Lu Yun.
This was a weapon that neither heaven could conceal nor earth bury, and it was no hyperbole to call it the greatest treasure in the world.
Even connate grade treasures ended up dusty and forgotten in ancient tombs, waiting to be unearthed by immortals.

The Sugato Sword, in comparison, had shot out of the tomb once bathed in the power of the land.
It was a weapon that tempted the most apathetic heart.

“I have indeed acquired the sword.” Lu Yun nodded slightly beneath the scrutiny of so many immortals.

The keen sword energy atop the pagoda had disappeared, as had the soaring energy from underground.
Even if Lu Yun didn’t admit to it, people would come to the conclusion themselves.
Thus, it was better to tell the truth outright.

“The bloodcorpse hasn’t moved to any other place,” Lu Yun said, changing the subject.
“I have an agreement with the restriction in Dusk Province.
As long as I’m the governor, there will be no evil spirits running rampant through the land.
Being a kind of evil spirit, the zombie was whisked away by the restriction.”

Incredulous surprise prompted quick inhalations in the crowd.
Lu Yun had become all the more mysterious in their eyes.

“My previous words remain valid.
The inheritance pagoda will remain here outside Dusk City.
The first to ascend all nine hundred and ninety-nine floors and gain Sugato Lord’s approval will become his inheritor.”

Contrary to earning more goodwill for that announcement, seeds of concern flourished in many hearts.
The ancient lord had exceeded dao immortal realm! How gargantuan was the trial ahead of them?

On the other hand, even if one failed to gain the full heritage, the attempt would grant the challenger great benefits.
This was a fortuitous opportunity that’d been made available to all.
More importantly, the restriction here made Dusk Province a unique case.
Even dao immortals had to seal their cultivation before entering.
Immortals with keen foresight could already see the formation of a sacred land for immortal dao.

“One more thing,” Wu Tulong piped up.
“Dongfang Hao, Zi Chen, Mo Qitian, and I will attain immortality in three years.
If anyone still remains unconvinced by our title of the Five Youth Sovereigns, they may challenge us three years from now.” He turned to Lu Yun.
“What say you, senior brother Lu?”

They were only missing Lu Yun for an unanimous accord.

“Alright,” agreed Lu Yun.
“In three years, my four senior brothers and I will be here to accept challenges from young talents around the world!“

Cultivators broke out in raucous cheering at that announcement.
The tournament that’d ended three days previously had provided untold inspiration and gains.
Unfortunately, no factions in modern times dared hold such an event on their own, lest it lead to thorny conflicts and endless trouble.

After today, there would be no more such opportunities in the short term.
Thankfully, the Five Youth Sovereigns had just promised them another tournament.
No one would object, and the grand occasion three years from now was sure to attract even more participation.

“The youth sovereigns will ascend to immortality in three years, so that means there will be a new generation of youth sovereigns after their meeting.”

“Why don’t we name the next tournament the Sovereign Meet? We will meet the new youth sovereigns after a tournament to determine the best and brightest of the young!”

“Agreed!”

“Then there will be a Sovereign Meet every three years in the Dusk Province.
Not only for cultivators to validate their cultivation, but also to motivate them to become the best!”

“Let’s establish a ranking that includes all of the young geniuses.
Anyone with a place on the list will be bestowed treasures and opportunities from the nine majors as a reward and motivator!”

“As it should be!”

“Count the monster spirits of the ten lands in!”

“And the dragons of the four seas.”

“As the Dusk governor put it, the world of immortals is only as powerful as its cultivators!” A spirited din arose from immortals engaged in lively discussions.

“This momentum cannot be deterred….
With the start of the Sovereign Meet, this impoverished province will become the sacred land of immortal dao!”

Many exclaimed with emotion, expressions shifting unsteadily.

However, they knew that even without the tournament, Lord Sugato’s inheritance pagoda alone would be enough to put Dusk Province on the map and attract the attention of all the immortals in the world.

Moreover, the restriction in the province enforced good behavior on even visiting dao immortals.
No schemes or plots would find any traction here.
Cultivators and low-level immortals with great potential would be free to spread their wings.
