Grand Supreme Cen Sui wasnât a hapless brute. Having lived for so many years, even his eyelashes brimmed with shrewdness. Lu Yun was casually threatening him that if he dared leave this area, a peak grand supreme would come for him whether or not he revealed the young manâs whereabouts.
He didnât know who the other two peak grand supremes were, but the foremost powerhouse from the Autumnus Realm had entered the Land of Reincarnation the moment it opened. Lu Yun revealing his identity to Cen Sui was meant to drag the man down into his troubles.
There was most certainly a bit of the peak grand supremesâ will on the young man. It would protect him in crucial moments, so Lu Yun had been wholly without fear from beginning to end.
He released a bit of it now, leaving Cen Sui no choice but to believe him!
It didnât matter how many peak supremes stood behind the young man, just one was enough to claim his life!
âI donât have much in mind, just come take a walk with me in that vortex,â Lu Yun said after momentary thought.
âYouâre crazy!â Cen Sui jumped with shock. When he saw the vortex from Lu Yunâs eyes, he could immediately tell that he would be ripped to pieces by horrific disordered forces if he took another step forward. âNot going!â
The grand supreme shook his head rapidly. Nothing but death awaited him if he entered, and he just had to keep his mouth shut if he didnât. Peak grand supremes wouldnât lower themselves to bullying the weak.
âIâll go with you since heâs a coward,â Wu Ruâs voice rang out. Heâd returned after his departure!
Or rather, heâd hid nearby all this time with the shamanic arts. Lu Yun and Cen Sui hadnât discovered his presence.
It wasnât like Lu Yun was concerned, in either case.
âReally?â Lu Yun brightened.
âYouâre not a fool and wonât simply go to your death like this. Since youâre willing to venture in, you must be assured of your safety and success. Plus, helping you here means meeting a peak grand supreme in good faith. There is only upside for me.
âAdditionally, I want to seek what is mine in the disordered vortex!â Wu Ru was dressed in long black robes, his long hair starkly offsetting fair skin. Every single strand of his hair seemed to glow with a dim hue.
He was a grand supreme of shamanic dao, a great dao that shared the same roots as shamanic dao in the World of Immortals. The version in the chief worlds, however, had progressed far beyond the one in the World of Immortals. At the same time, the one in the World of Immortals had submitted to immortal dao and become shamanic immortal dao.
As immortal dao grew stronger, so did all great daos under its banner.
Wu Ru was the greatest heavyweight of shamanic dao. All that was this great dao centered on him and there was no one more accomplished than him in this dao.
Shamanic dao was constantly shifting and impossible to predict. Not even Lu Yun could calculate what exact combat arts could be found within. The art thatâd connected him to Grand Supreme Cen Sui was a prime example of something heâd never encountered before.
âAlright!â Lu Yun nodded. âIâll help you get what you want, but you must help me get what I want as well!â
âWhat do you want? Is there something else in that vortex?â Cen Sui joined their conversation. Wu Ru made a lot of sense. Itâd be wonderful to leave a good impression on a peak grand supreme.
Since Lu Yun bore a peak grand supremeâs mark, that meant that the revered personage deeply valued the young man. This was special treatment that some disciples might not even receive! When Lu Yun met with danger, the mark would activate and summon the peak grand supreme or their replica in person.
It was originally meant for use against the creatures of darkness, but Lu Yun had discovered that the treasure inside the vortex was more important than the endarkened!
This was why he exposed himselfâhe had to get that connate treasure no matter what!
By now, both Cen Sui and Wu Ru felt that there werenât any treasures in the enormous disordered vortex. That connate treasure was just a trap.
As for whoâd set the trap, no one knew. But it wouldnât be anyone with kind intentions.
âThat can wait until weâre inside.â The star thatâd been used for a vehicle reappeared in Lu Yunâs hand with a casual wave.
âUmâŚâ Wu Ru shuffled awkwardly. That star had been so durable that itâd smashed a grand supremeâs head open. Heâd seized it for that alone and shoved it into his seed storage. Who wouldâve thought that itâd come flying back out when Lu Yun waved a hand?
âA peak grand supreme bestowed this on me and Iâve refined it a bit. Did you think you could just take it?â Lu Yun snorted with laughter.
He had indeed obtained it from Yun Yi, but not as a gift. Heâd carted it out from Yun Yiâs seed storage. Preparations had to be made if he was to head for the tomb of the empyrean supreme.
Mo Yiâs obvious consideration for him made Qiu Feishan and Yun Yi view him in a different light. When Lu Yun wanted the star, Yun Yi gave it to him without hesitation. After a bit of refinement, the star became a formidable treasure of order.
A ray of silver splendor bloomed from the starâs surface when Lu Yun tapped it. A three hundred and sixty-fifth ranked lotus of pure silver light gracefully unfurled its petals. This was no star, it was a connate lotus of three hundred and sixty-five rank! Itâd just been curled into a ball.
That particular ranking referenced the chief worlds and made it a preeminent connate treasure among the chief worlds. Yun Yi had disguised it as a star, otherwise Lu Yun wouldâve been robbed as soon as he set off with it.
âI thought there was something familiar about it! It's His Reverence Yun Yiâs connate Snow Lotus!â Cen Sui swallowed hard while color drained from Wu Ruâs face. Heâd just tried to steal from Yun Yi! Thankfully, he hadnât gotten far or the peak grand supreme wouldâve slapped him to death through the void.

A powerful force of order flared from the Snow Lotus as it blossomed. Lu Yun set foot on it and accepted the force flowing through him.
He shouldnât have been able to refine order so quickly, but the Snow Lotus had been without attribute. Once it was dyed with order, it became an ultimate treasure of order and the basis for Lu Yun cultivating order. When he meditated earlier, heâd sat cross-legged on the lotus in the form of a star.
It could wipe away the lingering effects after his hasty ascension, but Cen Sui had neatly taken care of that problem. The two grand supremes hastily took their places on the lotus; their reservations melted away after learning that Yun Yi supported Lu Yun and boldness marked their actions.
A terrible tearing came from all sides, but the forces of disorder transmuted into a gentle breeze when they drew near to the treasure. Yun Yi had enhanced the power of order within the flower, raising it to greater heights than it would reach under Lu Yun.
