Black Night Filled the Sky
Chapter 416 Heavenly Reward, Three Thousand Heavenly Immortal Laws, Wings of Freedom
Above the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains, auspicious clouds of nine colors gathered, a sight rarely seen even in the Immortal Realm.
Five-colored auspicious clouds represented great merit in five directions, while nine-colored auspicious clouds represented the ultimate, perfect merit. Only by achieving complete merit could nine-colored auspicious clouds coalesce.
In the Immortal Realm, nine-colored auspicious clouds were exceedingly rare. Only when one accomplished something truly unparalleled would they appear.
Above the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains, hundreds of nine-colored auspicious clouds emerged, shocking countless cultivators.
No one knew what treasures would descend.
Lu Changsheng and Bodhi Wisdom both looked towards the sky.
Especially Bodhi Wisdom, who couldn't help but feel excited when he saw hundreds of nine-colored auspicious clouds.
One nine-colored auspicious cloud was enough to obtain an Emperor artifact. What was the concept of hundreds of nine-colored auspicious clouds?
"Could it be a Spiritual Treasure?"
"Theoretically speaking, I sacrificed sixteen Emperor artifacts, one more than Lu Changsheng in terms of quantity. If a Spiritual Treasure really appears, shouldn't it be my turn?"
"No matter how strong one's luck is, it can't always be good, right?"
Bodhi Wisdom thought to himself, believing that he had a greater chance than Lu Changsheng of receiving the heavenly reward.
At that moment.
Above the firmament, hundreds of nine-colored auspicious clouds coalesced, with countless eyes fixed on the scene.
After the nine-colored auspicious clouds completely merged, a scripture suddenly appeared before the world.
"A scripture?"
"Wings?"
"What is this?"
"It looks incredibly profound."
"Why did a pair of wings appear?"
"Are we getting rewarded with a bird-man?"
The cultivators chattered, curious about the pair of wings that appeared after hundreds of nine-colored auspicious clouds gathered. It was truly astonishing.
Not just them, even the Immortal Kings revealed expressions of doubt, truly not knowing what it was.
"Wings?"
Even Bodhi Wisdom and Jieyin Bitter Sea looked curious, unsure of what they were.
But at that moment, the wings unfolded, reaching a hundred zhang in size, ancient runes appearing, flowing with terrifying Dao essence, and emitting a mysterious aura.
Finally, the wings coalesced, forming an ancient scripture. Upon closer inspection, the scripture looked very ancient, with four large characters written on it.
[Wings of Freedom]
At that moment, an Immortal King powerhouse's expression changed drastically, as if knowing what it was, and shouted loudly.
"This is one of the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao Immortal Techniques, Wings of Freedom!"
The Immortal King powerhouse was shocked, finding it unbelievable, and pointed at the ancient scripture in the sky.
"What are the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao Immortal Techniques?"
"The most ancient Immortal Techniques?"
"I know what it is now."
"I know too."
"Stop talking, I know as well."
"What exactly is it? Can someone explain?"
People discussed, and after the Immortal King powerhouse spoke, many claimed to understand, but no one explained what it was.
Seeing the extremely serious expressions of the Immortal Kings, everyone subconsciously believed that this thing must be extremely precious.
"The Three Thousand Heavenly Dao Immortal Techniques are a legendary type of Immortal Technique. In the Immortal Realm, Immortal Techniques are categorized by quality: Lesser Immortal Techniques, Greater Immortal Techniques, Supreme Immortal Techniques. The top Immortal Techniques of the Ten Holy Lands are all Supreme Immortal Techniques."
"Supreme Immortal Techniques have another name, Emperor Arts. In ancient times, peerless Immortal Emperors deduced whether there were secret techniques in the world that surpassed Emperor Arts. The final result was that there were Immortal Techniques in this world stronger than Emperor Arts."
"These Immortal Techniques are the ultimate transformation of Immortal Techniques. As the saying goes, the Dao has three thousand, and everything in the world is condensed from laws. Therefore, there are three thousand laws. Whoever can master the power of one law can become an Immortal Emperor."
"But mastering the power of a law does not mean you can perfectly control it. Therefore, becoming an Immortal Emperor does not mean you are truly invincible."
"The Three Thousand Heavenly Dao Immortal Techniques represent three thousand ultimate laws. Whoever can obtain one can perfectly control the power of the law. This Wings of Freedom, if I'm not mistaken, should be an Immortal Technique condensed from the Law of Wind."
Someone spoke, explaining at length to the cultivators, informing them what the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao Immortal Techniques were.
"Hiss! In other words, mastering this Immortal Technique allows you to cultivate to the Immortal Emperor Realm?"
"One of the Three Thousand Laws, the Law of Wind?"
"To think there would be such a scripture; this is truly a supreme reward."
"Never imagined that there would be even more terrifying Immortal Techniques than Emperor Arts in this world. How powerful would such Immortal Techniques be?"
The cultivators discussed, because this explanation almost subverted their worldviews.
The idea of becoming an Immortal Emperor was already extremely distant for them, but they never expected that there would be even more terrifying Dao techniques than Emperor Arts in this world. How could they not be shocked?
"This is an Immortal Technique, not a cultivation method, so it's unclear whether one can cultivate to the Immortal Emperor Realm. But what can be known is that if an Immortal Emperor mastered this Immortal Technique, they would likely far surpass other Immortal Emperors."
"And how strong the power is is difficult to know. I once saw relevant information in ancient books. The Wings of Freedom are the Law of Wind among the Three Thousand Laws, known as 'Boundless Traveler,' free and unrestrained, known as the fastest speed in the world, fast enough to ignore formation restrictions, truly divine speed."
"Even, this can no longer be called an Immortal Technique. In ancient times, this Immortal Technique was called a true Dao Technique, a Heavenly Dao Law."
The person's voice rang out, word by word, completely shocking countless cultivators, even the Immortal Kings were astonished after hearing these words.
Fast enough to ignore formation restrictions, what kind of concept was that?
If a large formation is activated, and you are trapped inside, you must break the formation to escape. If you want to leave the formation's range, you will inevitably be sensed by the formation, and then you will be subjected to the formation's crazy attacks.
But if you have the Wings of Freedom, you can directly ignore the formation. Heaven and earth are vast, and nothing can confine you. Even an Immortal Emperor would be envious of this ability.
"May I ask who you are, Fellow Daoist? How do you know so much?"
Someone came back to their senses and couldn't help but ask the other party.
The latter was stunned, then smiled faintly and said, "I am Baishitong (Know-It-All). Because I usually like to read more books, I know a lot."
Baishitong's voice rang out. He was very handsome, holding a book in his hand, reading as he spoke.
"Oh, so it's Baishitong. No wonder you know so much."
"Baishitong, how do you appear and disappear so mysteriously? It feels like you are always present wherever there is excitement."
"Yes, Baishitong, don't you cultivate? Three years ago, I saw you were still in the Celestial Immortal Realm, and three years later... oh my, you are already a Golden Immortal!"
"Hiss! It hasn't been long, and you're already in the Golden Immortal Realm! How did you improve so quickly? Tell me."
Many people really knew this Baishitong. Some cultivators had never seen Baishitong, but they had heard of Baishitong's reputation, known for sticking his nose into everything, and he did indeed know a lot. It was said that even a few Immortal Kings had consulted him on some matters.
So Baishitong's name was slightly known throughout the cultivation world. Not particularly famous, but at least somewhat heard of.
"Cultivation is something that I don't know how it happened, and I don't like cultivation. It's more interesting to eat melons (gossip). Fellow Daoists, who do you think will get this supreme Dao technique, Senior Brother Changsheng or Bodhi Wisdom?"
Baishitong laughed and directly changed the topic. For a moment, various voices rang out.
"Do you even need to ask? This Dao technique must be a reward from the heavens for my Senior Brother Changsheng."
"Yes, when you asked this question, I knew we weren't on the same path."
"Objectively speaking, Bodhi Wisdom has an extraordinary background. He is a peerless prodigy of the God King clan from the Twenty-Seventh Heaven, so I think this Dao technique will definitely be given to Senior Brother Changsheng."
"Fellow Daoist, it's a good thing you said that in time, otherwise, I almost couldn't retract my blade."
"If you are so slow next time, I can only give you a proper burial."
Almost 99% of the human cultivators supported Lu Changsheng. Even those who didn't support Lu Changsheng wouldn't support Bodhi Wisdom.
As for the Immortal King level powerhouses, they were all communicating with divine sense.
They were also very curious about who the heavens would reward with this supreme cultivation method.
Just then, the voices of the God Clan cultivators rang out.
Hearing the discussions of the human cultivators, they naturally didn't accept it, so they took the initiative to speak out, unwilling to lose in verbal arguments.
"My God Clan are the chosen children of heaven, and Venerable Bodhi is even more the chosen one. The Three Thousand Dao Techniques will definitely be given to Venerable Bodhi."
Voices also came from the God Clan, the voices were extremely firm.
"That's right, Venerable Bodhi is the chosen one. If not him, then who? Lu Changsheng? Hahaha! Ridiculous!"
"It can be almost certainly said that the Heavenly Dao will bestow this supreme Dao technique to Venerable Bodhi."
"Yes, it must be given to Venerable Bodhi."
The God Clan cultivators spoke one after another. They were extremely certain that this supreme Dao technique would be bestowed upon Venerable Bodhi.
Even Bodhi Wisdom himself believed so.
"Fellow Daoist Bodhi, if you obtain this Dao technique, remember to share it with me."
Jieyin Bitter Sea spoke with divine sense. He also believed that Bodhi Wisdom would definitely obtain this supreme Dao technique.
At the same time, he was very envious.
The Three Thousand Dao Techniques were the laws of the Heavenly Dao. Whoever obtained them could master a law.
This involved things beyond the Immortal Emperor level. Ordinary cultivators didn't understand, but as a prodigy of the God King clan, they couldn't not understand these things. In fact, they understood these things better than anyone else.
This was too significant and had to be obtained.
Bodhi Wisdom took a deep breath. His eyes also revealed a fanatical light, wanting to obtain this Dao technique.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist. If I obtain this Dao technique, I will definitely teach it to you after I comprehend it."
Bodhi Wisdom also said so. He had confidence, very strong confidence. He had been repeatedly intercepted by Lu Changsheng in the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains, but now that it had come to this, he believed that good luck couldn't always favor one person. It would always be his turn.
In the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains, Lu Changsheng frowned as he looked at this Dao technique.
He had sacrificed fifteen Emperor artifacts, right? Adding Bodhi Wisdom's sixteen Emperor artifacts, that made thirty-one Emperor artifacts. And all he got was a Dao technique?
Lu Changsheng didn't understand what the Three Thousand Dao Techniques were. He just felt that something was wrong with the numbers.
At this moment.
The ancient scripture condensed into reality, then turned into a comet, falling towards the location of the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains.
At this moment, hundreds of millions of cultivators became nervous. Whether they were ordinary cultivators, Immortal Kings, God Clan cultivators, or even Bodhi Wisdom and Jieyin Bitter Sea, everyone was extremely nervous.
No one knew who this Dao technique would be given to.
Only Lu Changsheng seemed very calm, because he knew that unless he didn't want it, this Dao technique would definitely fall into his hands.
In less than ten breaths, the ancient scripture fell, its direction being the peak of the immortal mountain where Lu Changsheng was.
"No!"
"This is impossible!"
"As expected, Senior Brother Changsheng is the true chosen one."
"Good! That's how it should be."
"How could it be taken away by Lu Changsheng again?"
"What kind of monster is this Lu Changsheng?"
People were stunned, feeling truly unbelievable.
"This thing must be mine."
Bodhi Wisdom's face became extremely ugly. He clenched his fists and roared, then soared into the sky, wanting to intercept this opportunity of creation in advance.
He didn't care about small Emperor artifacts.
He didn't care about large Emperor artifacts either.
But he couldn't not care about the Three Thousand Dao Techniques. Even if everything was destined by fate, he wanted to defy the heavens and directly steal Lu Changsheng's fortune.
Boom!
However, just as Bodhi Wisdom made a move to snatch it, a terrifying divine thunder fell, directly striking Bodhi Wisdom.
The latter didn't have time to dodge and was directly struck by the divine thunder. However, he forcefully supported his Pure Land phenomenon, resisting the divine thunder. Although he wasn't seriously injured, he missed the opportunity.
"Why! Why! Why!"
Bodhi Wisdom was completely furious. In the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains, he couldn't compare to Lu Changsheng, and he was always intercepted by Lu Changsheng.
Even if that was the case! He could endure it.
But now, Lu Changsheng had sacrificed fifteen Emperor artifacts, and he had sacrificed sixteen Emperor artifacts.
Theoretically, even if it was a 50/50 chance, it would have been fine if the Heavenly Dao chose Lu Changsheng, but why didn't he even have a chance to compete?
This was unreasonable.
He was still a dignified prodigy of the God King clan, right?
Ordinary God Clan members weren't qualified to understand.
Didn't the prodigies of the God King clan even have the right to compete?
Bodhi Wisdom's confidence was completely shattered.
And after Bodhi Wisdom finished resisting the divine thunder, the ancient scripture slowly fell into Lu Changsheng's hands.
In the immortal mountain.
The heavy ancient scripture fell into his hands.
Lu Changsheng didn't even look at it, just calmly looked at Bodhi Wisdom outside the mountain.
The two looked at each other.
In Bodhi Wisdom's eyes, there were three parts unwillingness, three parts anger, three parts jealousy, and one part helplessness.
But after looking at each other, Bodhi Wisdom's eyes were clear, appearing extremely calm, like an undisturbed ancient well.
"Fellow Daoist Bodhi, do you want it?"
On the immortal mountain, Lu Changsheng spoke.
The voice rang out, immediately causing an uproar.
