Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

"Success!" Alkaid exclaimed in both shock and joy.

Success!

He had actually managed to resurrect a Dao Lord, one who had perished, using methods almost akin to reversing time

from the 'time and space' of death.

Though the process consumed some of his "Essence of Chaos," and he estimated that it would take decades, if not a century, to recover, but...

He did it.

He had truly brought a ruler back to life, giving rebirth to the deceased.

The resurrected Dao Lord was slightly astonished but quickly gathered his spirit.

He examined himself, his Divine Sense continually escaping, and disbelief filled his eyes.

Clearly, he must have retained the memories from before his death.

"How do you feel?"

At this moment, Alkaid's Divine Sense transmitted over.

Only then did the Dao Lord realize there was another formidable person nearby.

From the complete lack of Perception of the other's presence he initially had, it was evident that the figure before him was an existence far more powerful than himself.

Immediately, the Dao Lord bowed deeply and said, "Dao Lord Lan Shuo pays his respects to the elder, and thanks the Dao Venerable for saving my life."

"Tell me about your feelings."

Alkaid did not respond, but continued to ask the previous question.

Dao Lord Lan Shuo dared not hide anything and hurriedly said, "I... I feel quite well..."

After speaking, he looked at Alkaid: "I must have been attacked by a Void Dao Lord, or even a Void Dao Venerable. Logically, my chances of survival were slim, and I even... remember the scene of being crushed to pieces and my consciousness completely annihilated. Did Dao Venerable just save my life?"

Upon hearing this, Alkaid seemed enlightened.

Was this Dao Lord's memory still stuck at the moment of his demise?

His gaze shifted towards the Ancient Immortal Realm where the river of time seemed stretched into a long line, and an idea emerged in his mind.

"If Dao Lord Lan Shuo still exists now, what would happen if I pull another Dao Lord Lan Shuo from a different time point?"

In an instant, Alkaid was about to take action.

However, he only slightly tried and immediately felt an unparalleled difficulty.

For him at this moment, reviving the dead Lan Shuo didn't seem challenging.

But if he wanted to resurrect another Lan Shuo from a different time point to be reborn, it would cause a disruption in the logic of the entire Ancient Immortal Realm's operation, which would then completely collapse the Ancient Immortal Realm due to these logical errors.

This action was strictly prohibited by the Ancient Immortal Realm.

In other words, he would need the power to destroy the Ancient Immortal Realm if he were really going to do this.

Moreover, even if he indeed possessed such power, it was still uncertain whether it would successfully bring Dao Lord Lan Shuo back to life.

Most likely, it would directly destroy the entire Ancient Immortal Realm.

"Will it cause logical errors? A time paradox?"

Alkaid sensed this for a moment and then stopped.

He did not have the power to destroy the entire Ancient Immortal Realm.

Not to mention him, even the Master of Primordial Yi didn't.

The Master of Primordial Yi only eroded the Ancient Immortal Realm slowly, absorbing and digesting it over time, not destroying it all at once.

These two concepts were not comparable.

"Dao... Dao Venerable saved my life, and Lan Shuo has nothing to repay you with, but from now on, I am willing to follow and serve behind Dao Venerable."

At this time, Dao Lord Lan Shuo spoke again.

Alkaid glanced at him; he was tempted to kill Lan Shuo again right now to see if it would result in an "Experience" gain.

Or, in the scenario where there were no more shares of the Great Dao, if reviving Lan Shuo would lead to exceeding ten thousand shares.

However, this thought only lasted for a moment before he suppressed it.

"Reviving once isn't a small expenditure for me, and in some ways, this cost has already exceeded the worth of a Dao Lord. In other words... if I really revive him without any shares available, it's akin to converting a part of my power into shares for the Ancient Immortal Realm, breaking through its own limits, hence resulting in the creation of Dao Lord Lan Shuo..."

Alkaid thought of this and shook his head inwardly.

Clearly, the cost was too great.

"I'm sorry, it was just an experiment," said Alkaid.

Dao Lord Lan Shuo was taken aback, not quite understanding the meaning behind Alkaid's words.

The Void trembled.

A Great Void Technique instantaneously formed and swept down.

"Dao Venerable!?"

Dao Lord Lan Shuo was stunned.

In the next second, he hastily retreated, his eyes filled with incredulity: "Dao Venerable, why go to such lengths..."

"Boom!"

The Great Void Technique swept past.

This Dao Lord, equivalent to a common Dao Lord, was once again annihilated.

Until his death, he probably couldn't understand where he had offended this mysterious Dao Venerable to the extent that he had to be killed twice.

As this Dao Lord fell, Alkaid quietly sensed the changes within himself.

This Dao Lord...

Also had an energy increase.

"So, I can already achieve self-sufficiency?"

Alkaid was somewhat surprised.

He then turned his gaze towards his somewhat weakened 'Essence of Chaos.'

Realizing something, he directly channeled this fundamental force originated from 'existence,' gradually moving it towards the Lustrous Treasure Tree.

Under such nature, the treasure light of the Lustrous Treasure Tree was completely suppressed.

However, as Alkaid controlled his own "Essence of Chaos," allowing the Lustrous Treasure Tree to root within his Essence of Chaos and absorb energy…

Soon, there was energy flowing through the Lustrous Treasure Tree.

This scene surprised Alkaid somewhat, yet he felt it was reasonable.

"My 'Essence of Chaos' is currently only at the 'nascent' stage. Since it is nascent, it means it can continue to grow... This kind of growth... in about a hundred years, can increase energy equivalent to a Dao Lord Level, and in a million years, the growth of energy would be equivalent to a Daoist Ancestor!"

Alkaid thus speculated, "Give me three billion years to evolve, and I will grow as vast as the Ancient Immortal Realm!?"

Although he didn't know if there was an upper limit to "nascent", or if there was any restriction on this kind of growth, but...

Thirty billion years being comparable to the Ancient Immortal Realm was certainly not idle talk.

"Three billion years."

Alkaid muttered this number to himself.

This...

Would truly be an incredibly long period.

Moreover, three billion years was just the most optimal scenario.

If during this period he had to expend energy, such as reviving the Dao Lords of the Ancient Immortal Realm, or using the "Essence of Chaos" in battle, the time required to grow to match the Ancient Immortal Realm would only be longer than three billion years.

Such a scale of time caused Alkaid, who had only lived for a little more than three thousand years, to take a while to regain his senses.

"It's really… unbelievable."

He glanced at the remaining energy of the Lustrous Treasure Tree and transferred all of it into the Causality Dao, raising its progress to 385/10000.

He then looked towards the Northern Sea Star...

The development of the Nine Cauldrons Sect on the Northern Sea Star was very good.

With the Immortal Artifacts and Immortal Arrays left by him, even real Dao Lords dared not disrespect the Nine Cauldrons Sect.

Especially…

Everyone could feel that it had recently become harder to achieve Dao Lord, with the oldest generation of True Monarchs, like Jing Hong True Monarch, all failing on the path of becoming Dao Lords.

This Dao conflict was an extremely rare occasion in two thousand years where no new Dao Lord emerged.

With a limited number of Dao Lords, relying solely on cultivators of Hollow Void, Refining Void, and Shattered Void level, naturally, no one dared to be presumptuous in front of the deeply-rooted Nine Cauldrons Sect.

After observing for a while, Alkaid's gaze lingered on Su Yaoyu momentarily, but he ultimately chose not to reappear.

He took out a Jade Talisman and threw it towards the Northern Sea Star.

The Jade Talisman would find Su Yaoxue, and as a "Friend of Alkaid," inform her that the crisis had been resolved.

After completing these tasks, Alkaid did not re-enter the Northern Sea Star; his figure flashed, heading straight for the nearest Dao Lord to the Northern Sea Star.

By clearing the Dao Lords around the Northern Sea Star, or rather...

As long as there were no Dao Lords in the Lower Realm, the Northern Sea Star would never have to worry about facing such crises again.

…

Immortal Realm.

Creation Celestial City.

Inside the cultivation cave mansion of Tian Yu Immortal King, Alkaid's eyes carried a peculiar glint.

"Reviving the dead."

He felt his own Essence of Chaos.

Which was also considerably substantial.

Although reviving a Dao Lord would be somewhat exhausting, with a bit of spirited effort, reviving a True Immortal or Immortal Venerable was still feasible.

If not worried about severe injuries, even an Immortal King could be revived.

"If I want to easily revive Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings, either my Essence of Chaos has to be many times more potent, or…"

Alkaid pondered slightly, "Using my 'Essence of Chaos' as the core, I could create a Great Path Divine Artifact. Like the 'Origin' Great Path, it would enhance my foundation, specifically for reviving Immortals."

Thinking this, a bright light flashed in his eyes: "If I manage to have fallen Immortal Kings resurrect indefinitely, even without a unique existence like the Master of Primordial Yi overseeing all forces, I can still exhaust the Chaotic Origin Realm to death."

However, he soon laughed wryly.

If his Essence of Chaos could become many times stronger, what would be the need for all these complications?

Reviving Immortal Kings time and again?

Just charging into the Chaotic Origin Realm would mean chaos.

Shaking his head, Alkaid felt his two Dao Fruits.

Void and Time.

"The dream of a thousand years, apart from Destiny and Causality, the most important are Soul, Mind, Fantasy, Creation, Reincarnation…"

Alkaid contemplated for a moment and decided to stick to the original plan.

To vanquish Tian Yu Immortal King.

On one hand, back when he was in the Lower Realm, he was chased across the Universe by Tian Yu Immortal King, and he had a grudge.

On the other hand, by defeating Tian Yu Immortal King and becoming the strongest Immortal King of the Void Path, in the future, even if he demonstrated powers unlike any other Void Immortal King Level, the Chaotic Origin Realm, including the Master of Primordial Yi, would not suspect.

This would be greatly helpful for his next step in approaching the Gate of Destiny and Gate of Cause and Effect, which are encircled by the Nine Major Groups.

With this thought, Alkaid immediately sent a message to Director Xuan Qing: "When will we make our move against Tian Yu Immortal King?"

"We must not commit fratricide among the Immortal Spirits; we need to strike when the Master of Primordial Yi cannot react in time, and that moment is when the Master of Primordial Yi officially disperses his power to the Lower Realm."

Xuan Qing responded solemnly.

After hearing this, Alkaid wasn't surprised.

He instructed, "I estimate that this time is coming soon, be ready."

"We are mostly prepared already, just waiting for the Master of Primordial Yi's decision."

As Xuan Qing spoke, he advised, "You should also familiarize yourself quickly with Time and Void Force."

"I understand."

Alkaid responded.

Feeling the essence of his Lower Realm body…

Scholastic actions were needed.

Only by swiftly eliminating enough Seventeen Level and Eighteen Level Immortal Spirits could he force the Master of Primordial Yi into rapid action.

Once the Master of Primordial Yi spreads his attention to the more vast Lower Realm Starry Sky, in the Immortal Realm, Alkaid could better make his move.
