Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 1078 - 161: The Might of Carefree

Wang Qi and Holy Emperor Venerable executed their strategies one after another, appearing as if they had been engaged in a prolonged battle. Yet in reality, from the moment Wang Qi appeared to the splitting of avatars, the annihilation of unifications, and Holy Emperor Venerable being forced to ascend to immortality ahead of time, only a quarter of an hour had passed.

And a quarter of an hour ago, the Master of Calculation and Dragon King were still in confrontation.

Both of them knew that they were facing absolute formidable opponents, so they had to be extremely cautious, making sure each step was error-free.

Otherwise, one wrong move could lead to their demise, disappearing into the Dao.

In the midst of their standoff, the giant dragon suddenly raised his long neck, and let out three roars toward the sky, two long and one short. The Master of Calculation remained unfazed. The dragon lowered his head, somewhat disappointed: "Why don't you attack? I thought you'd be startled." Before the Master of Calculation could respond, he swirled once in the air, then laughed: "Very calm, you old thing. Alright, let me share a secret with you. Guess what those three roars were for besides bluffing? Guess? Guess?"

Xiangyu was expressionless.

The dragon was greatly disappointed and roared at the sky: "No fun, no fun, you... Well, I'll just tell you directly. Those three roars were actually a signal. All the low-level demon beasts under my control, and the Dragon Clan who have been deceived and don't realize I am no longer the owner of this original physical body, will be dispatched to raid your Immortal Alliance's western borders upon hearing the signal! How about it? Surprise or not? Happy or not?"

The Master of Calculation raised one hand, facing the dragon directly. His stature was considered tall among the human clan, but it barely reached two meters, while the dragon's single tooth was comparable to him. However, anyone observing this battle would regard the human and dragon as equals. In terms of imposing presence, they seemed equally grand. His movement showed no hesitation, as he said, "Is that it?"

"Eh? You actually have no response? Where is the 'Immortal Alliance cherishes the people like family?' Hey hey! You're too heartless!" The dragon roared furiously: "You're too much! I'm really sorry for the human clan of the western borders!"

"Disgusting face." Xiangyu shook his head: "Unfortunately, it is no longer ten years ago. Ten years ago, you still had the chance to stir up a blizzard, freezing most of Shenzhou, and changing the climate of a region. But today, your offensive certainly will not harm the shore."

"Ah? What is this?" The dragon was puzzled: "What is this confidence? Your Immortal Alliance... Hmm, what's the word... Are you cheating?"

Xiangyu looked straight at the dragon: "Seeing you raises a few questions for me. According to our sensing methods, the aura of the West Sea Dragon King has clearly fallen twice in recent years. The first was when Yue Han - National Hand of Cangsheng schemed against Master of Hongyuan Sect in Divine Capital. During the polar ice cap's melting, your aura was also declining. The second was when a cultivator named Wang Qi faced the Banished Immortal Mei Gemu and resisted with the Divine Plague Curse Technique. At that time, there was a notable weakening on your side as well. In other words, you are part of a certain immortal, but unlike other independent living banished immortals, you are clearly just a presence similar to the avatar of the Banished Immortal. Yet neither Hongyuan Sect Master nor Mei Gemu could possibly possess the ability to seize the West Sea Dragon King, nor should there be a stronger banished immortal than Hongyuan Sect Master in this realm... how did you achieve this?"

The dragon laughed heartily, and the breath he exhaled was nearly like a storm: "You fool, do you think I'll tell you?"

"Hmm, I'm just asking. If you're willing to answer or give any hint, we profit. If not—we don't lose anything—next, I'm planning to beat you until you willingly return to the question as a means to prolong." Xiangyu said.

The dragon roared towards the sky: "Exactly! Exactly! I also want to know what kind of realm is the 'Carefree Stage!' Your Immortal Alliance's data is really so meticulously sealed that the public portion is sufficient for anyone to safely cultivate to the Void Refining Period, but all knowledge on Nirvana and Mahayana is totally hidden. Come on! Let me see how strong the so-called Carefree is!"

Mid-sentence, the dragon, transitioning from stillness to motion, instantly tore through the atmosphere and sea, rushing towards Xiangyu. His vast body was akin to a mountainous force, delivering a momentum like an avalanche with each charge. The sonic boom alone pushed the sea, forming a vast pit on the ocean's surface!

Faced with the dragon's body sweeping vertically, Xiangyu extended a hand. At the instant Xiangyu's hand touched the dragon's scale, kinetic energy was reversed, causing the dragon to be lifted as if struck by an invisible long stick, folding its body and crashing into the deep sea. At this speed, water and solids were indistinguishable. The backfilling sea flew out even faster, changing the depression caused by the sonic boom from circular to elliptical, visible even from a geosynchronous orbit!

Every section of the dragon's body, his four powerful claws, even his tail and horns became weapons. He resembled a colossal meat-grinding wheel, attempting to shred Xiangyu. However, pure kinetic energy was what Xiangyu countered most effectively. In his rapid maneuverings, Xiangyu used the Arrow Control Technique to perfectly deflect each blow. The force of the dragon's impact was redirected into the sea and air, creating a near vacuum around them, and every claw and tail of the dragon sparked massive waves hundreds of meters high, dozens of miles away.

"Hey hey! You don't care about this either? We're still warming up, and if we truly unleashed our full potential, a tsunami could sweep this land clean!" In the vacuum, the dragon transmitted via Spiritual Sense. He didn't care about this planet, but Xiangyu seemed to. If Xiangyu's moves diminished slightly in intensity, it would provide him with an opportunity to counterattack.

However, Xiangyu remained unfazed, advancing instead.

"Basic techniques are almost analyzed, so take this palm!"

In the clash, the palm power of Xiangyu permeated into the dragon's body. This strike was extremely peculiar; the dragon found himself unable to retreat and unload the force—the direction of this strike couldn't be discerned in three-dimensional space at all. The dragon was startled and said: "You truly possess martial arts that elevate oneself to mysterious heights!"

Roaring amidst, the giant dragon's form gradually "rose"—not against gravity, but towards some inexplicable height. The world before him seemed like a mere sheet of paper. Meanwhile, more than half the people of Shenzhou simultaneously witnessed a giant dragon soaring into the sky!

This is the embodiment of a mature immortal, "leaping out of the long river, dominating oneself"!

Lord Hongtian knew that space does not only have the three pairs of vertical directions: up and down, left and right, forward and backward. At higher levels, there are more directions, but typical beings cannot perceive them, nor use them.

Only beings like immortals, who have transcended the mundane, can reach it!

Following this inexplicable direction, the giant dragon finally shed the force on his body. He cursed under his breath, "This world is really absurd, even a mundane being possesses such martial arts..."

"Such? This is far beyond such?" The sudden spiritual sense transmission startled Lord Hongtian. When he looked up again, he found Xi Baiche walking leisurely from a direction he couldn't comprehend, along an arc he couldn't fathom.

"What..." In haste, the giant dragon curled his body, sweeping his tail—this sweep also defied the topology of three-dimensional rules. The Master of Calculation raised his left arm, blocking the dragon's tail that was larger than himself, reversing half of the kinetic energy, neutralizing this move. Then, his body instantly transformed into a shadow, advancing to the giant dragon's crucial vulnerability.

Lord Hongtian was shocked, realizing the weaknesses of his physical body, hurriedly mobilizing his bodily systems to counterattack. The Master of Calculation's power was incredibly strong, completely disproportionate to the mere two-meter stature of the Human Clan. The giant dragon was flung along a direction unknown to himself. Yet, the dragon lineage he had stolen was remarkable enough that he could still mount a counterattack in this situation.

Man and dragon, in this unusual space-time, fought fists to claws and tails, attacking each other and colliding continually. The giant dragon quickly realized that in this domain surpassing conventional space-time, he could not match the Master of Calculation!

The Master of Calculation was engrossed in the realm of logic, and together with Feng Luoyi, the "Xiangyu Calculation" they created, along with various Operator Methods, excelled at analyzing space-time and motion!

In these mysterious heights, gravity is the best means to discern conventional directions. The fundamental force that connects all space-time and links all dimensions is the coordinate! This is why astrology exists within the Immortal Dao—not to calculate fate, but because astrology is the map for high-order immortals!

Lord Hongtian descended swiftly alongside gravity, yet was intercepted by Xi Baiche's palm power. In desperation, he curls his entire dragon form, evolving a defensive move, while continuously absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy.

He knew that "space-time" isn't any invincible method. At its root, it is a method of embellishment. For immortals with fundamental differences, methods related to "space-time" are universally effective. However, when there is no fundamental difference between the two sides, methods related to space-time may not necessarily decide the victory!

Suddenly, violent and chaotic thin Spiritual Power washed over the defenseless giant dragon. Only then did Lord Hongtian realize he had been fought out of that realm completely. He saw a gray sphere occupying a quarter of the sky. And behind that gray sphere, there seemed to be a smaller, azure disk faintly visible.

This is the far side of the moon, to be precise, twenty thousand miles from the moon. At this time, Shenzhou, the moon, and the Master of Calculation, Dragon King, were nearly aligned on a straight line.

"You've made another silly mistake. After leaving the great cycle of heaven and earth, your power as a Modern Cultivator decreases, but I, as a Banished Immortal, can adapt!" The giant dragon laughed.

Yet the Master of Calculation still maintained a calm demeanor, continuously probing for flaws in this move from every angle. The giant dragon instantly changed his expression.

"Carefree Realm, what exactly is its level?"

Far from gravity and the biological sphere, Spiritual Energy is often thin and chaotic. This sheer power alone is enough to kill ordinary life beings.

Only Mahayana Cultivators can survive in such environments. As for directly refining the Spiritual Energy from the cosmic, without the ordered system of a planetary ecosystem, only immortals can accomplish that.

Standing before him is someone who has already achieved the Undying Fruit Position in Longevity?

Modern Heretics have already embarked on their own unique Dao Fruit of Longevity?
