Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone

Chapter 798 648: Sacred Land: River of the Sky

Great Emperor Du Ling spoke with cold words and a cruel expression.

Every time he recalled the scene of the Lord of Death's demise, he felt a sense of envy.

Some people are alive, yet they are already dead; some are dead, yet they still live on.

Back in his youth, he was full of spirit, challenging even the Immortals, believing that he too could become an Immortal in the future. But later, when faced with death, he chose to kneel, revealing that the so-called invincible Daoxin was merely self-deception.

Reflecting on the past, he had a certain admiration for the Lord of Death.

Yet the more he admired, the more he felt ashamed of his own ugliness.

Many things became easier to let go.

Great Emperor Du Ling said, "Many things shouldn't be overly calculated, as it brings no good. That person is my son-in-law; I definitely can't betray him or cut him down with a blade. Likewise, since I'm his father-in-law, he certainly can't cut me down with a blade either."

"One should maintain some dignity and face, to meet people in the future!"

Revealing Xue Star Prince's identity brought him no benefit, and was instead a humiliation to himself.

The Shadow said, "Your Majesty, you're absolutely right!"

Right?

Right, my ass!

This Majesty is ruthless and cruel, how many brothers and cultivator friends has he eliminated over these years?

Even some sons and daughters were disposed of by him.

With children not even considered dear, a mere son-in-law is insignificant.

In the Cultivation Immortality Realm, without ruthlessness, one cannot stand firm, and this figure was never merciful or soft-hearted.

Great Emperor Du Ling asked, "Did he leave any flaws?"

The Shadow replied, "He acts cautiously, and most flaws are erased, but still, some traces remain. If meticulous individuals thoroughly investigate, they might notice some oddities. Many cultivators have noticed him and have begun to have some thoughts about him."

Great Emperor Du Ling said, "Take action, help him erase some traces!"

The Shadow said, "Your Majesty, it's best not to. Leaving a few flaws isn't a big issue; if we intervene, it might attract the attention of some big shots."

Great Emperor Du Ling nodded and asked, "What has he been up to recently?"

The Shadow said, "He's in seclusion, seemingly comprehending the Mysteries of Fusion."

Great Emperor Du Ling said, "Interesting, don't disturb him, let him strive on… Haha, the Mysteries of Fusion are extremely difficult, but even if he fails, it's fine. Young people still owe a bitter lesson!"

The Shadow nodded and disappeared.

Great Emperor Du Ling sighed and continued his arduous cultivation.

After reaching the Ninth-Layer of Tribulation Crossing, his cultivation nearly stalled, yet even so, he continued to refine his cultivation diligently.

Everything seemed unchanged.

...

In the Cave Mansion, Lu Xuanji's body flickered with gray and white hues, then black light flickered and vanished; subsequently, five-colored lights surged and then disappeared.

Energy within the body fluctuated, qi and blood generated and extinguished, magical power undulated continuously, and his aura sometimes grew strong and sometimes waned.

Pfft!

At that moment, an aura swept through everything, and Lu Xuanji spit a mouthful of blood on the spot, suffering great damage to his primordial qi.

After vomiting blood, he activated a secret technique to heal his injuries and continued his comprehension.

The process of Mysteries fusion was extremely challenging, failing again and again.

Failing dozens of times in a row, yet Lu Xuanji's resolve remained unchanged as he continued to deduce and fuse.

Failure was natural; hoping to succeed in fusion with one or two attempts was more difficult.

During his deductions, he failed several times.

His body repeatedly exploded, and he could only resort to a secret technique for recovery.

These injuries were nothing to him.

Buzz! Buzz!

At that moment, the Mysteries of Wood, Mysteries of Fire, Mysteries of Gold, Mysteries of Earth, and Mysteries of Earth collided but did not explode, instead temporarily fusing together.

Lu Xuanji rejoiced, continuing to activate the secret technique to maintain this fleeting fusion.

However, it sustained for less than ten breaths before exploding.

Half of his body exploded, blood scattered throughout the Cave Mansion.

Utilizing a secret technique, the broken body and scattered blood coagulated together, returning to their original form, albeit his complexion appeared somewhat pale.

After resting for a moment and recovering from his injuries, Lu Xuanji recalled the inspiration from the previous fusion, reminiscing the mystical feeling during the fusion, and continued engaging in fusion.

This time, after maintaining for thirty breaths, it exploded again.

The fusion continued, and so did the explosions.

But during the fusion, the duration was increasing, gradually from a few breaths, to dozens, hundreds, even several hours, eventually achieving perfect fusion where integration was seamless, forming a new Mysteries.

The five Mysteries vanished, leaving only the Mysteries of the Five Elements.

Hahaha!

Lu Xuanji laughed heartily, feeling an indescribable joy and delight.

Calculating the time, it was merely five years that had passed.

There was still a bit of time left, so he continued to fuse Mysteries.

The Mysteries of Elemental Magnetic and Mysteries of the Stars attempted fusion, spending three years to achieve it.

The Mysteries of Time and Mysteries of Space merged, taking a full ten years to complete the fusion.

Yin and Yang Mysteries fused with the Mysteries of the Five Elements, and then with the Mysteries of Space-Time, and again with the Mysteries of Destruction.

As the Mysteries continuously merged, their numbers decreased, power increased, and the difficulty also rose, taking a whole hundred years to complete the fusion.

In the end, only the Mysteries of the Celestial Blade remained.

"It's a pity I tried to integrate the Mysteries of Life into the Mysteries of the Celestial Blade, but failed. The Mysteries of Death, however, seamlessly integrated into the Mysteries of the Celestial Blade," Lu Xuanji slightly frowned, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes. The failure of the Mysteries of Life to integrate into the Mysteries of the Celestial Blade proved that not all Mysteries could be fused.
