Chapter 1023: Dao Conflict

“Second Palace Master? ”

Fang Xi and the others were startled.

“The Second Palace Master of the North Star Immortal Palace, isn't that 'Starry Glow Rogue Immortal'? ”

Yu Xiu stood up, his face filled with shock: “That’s a Grand Cultivator who has long since reached True Immortal Perfected and condensed a 'Void Platform'. How could he be injured to such an extent? Even his Primordial Spirit captured? ”

He swept his divine sense over the bronze lamp, then confirmed: “The Primordial Spirit is clear in texture, imbued with starlight, and possesses the unique cultivation method and aura of the North Star Immortal Palace. . . it is indeed Starry Glow Rogue Immortal! ”

“So the Second Palace Master of the North Star Immortal Palace is only worth five hundred points of starlight. . . ”

Xu Qing muttered softly, then was glared at by Zhang Dan Shi beside him: “If you want to die, we still want to live. . . ”

“Something isn’t right here, Brother Yu. Should we leave quickly? ”

According to custom, this was a prelude to a major incident.

He never liked to step forward and watch a commotion. If he accidentally got blood splashed on his shoes, it would be truly unfair.

“Indeed. . . this is a place of trouble; it's not advisable to linger. ”

Yu Xiu struck his wooden staff, and a green light immediately enveloped their surroundings.

Fortunately, this grand auction allowed for direct settlement; there was no need for follow-up transactions, saving a great deal of trouble.

He still carried 'Star Essence Liquid' on him, and with chaos brewing, he was naturally most uneasy.

“Let’s go! ”

In an instant, many other immortals chose the same path as Fang Xi and his companions.

Some, unafraid of death, remained to watch the commotion, most likely those with external avatars.

“Starry Glow? ”

The North Star Palace Master’s expression immediately changed upon seeing this. He flicked his sleeve.

Ten thousand rays of starlight converged, and the laws of stars surged, attempting to seize that bronze lamp.

“Where are the Star Guards? ! ”

At the same time, he roared in anger, ordering the Star Guards to act and surround the private room from which the bronze lamp had been revealed.

The Star Guards of the North Star Immortal Palace were hailed as the foremost fighting force in the North Star Immortal Domain, a power capable of suppressing the entire Immortal Domain.

Even if a Dao Monarch didn’t act, simply controlling these ascended immortals would be enough to flatten any sect in the Immortal Domain.

At this moment, the North Star Palace Master’s face held no hint of triumph, but rather an unspeakable gravity.

Anyone daring to openly disrespect the North Star Immortal Palace in such a manner must have a formidable backing.

The greatest possibility was. . .

“A Dao Monarch? ! ”

Within the private room, Zi Yin Dao Zi exclaimed, summoning his own carriage: “Go! ”

Roar! Roar!

Numerous immortal birds and exotic beasts roared in unison, and countless streaks of light shot forth, directly tearing apart the dome of the North Star Palace!

At this moment, Zi Yin Dao Zi only thought of his own escape, showing no regard for the North Star Immortal Palace's dignity whatsoever.

Almost instantly, countless immortals transformed into streaks of light and fled, shattering the 'Future Constellation Treasure Light Grand Array' into pieces.

This grand array, before it could even be used to attack enemies, was destroyed by the very guests the North Star Immortal Palace had invited!

"Heh heh. . . if this had happened before the celebration, perhaps many immortals would have stayed to help defend, giving the North Star Immortal Palace face. . . ”

“But the North Star Immortal Palace had already arbitrarily probed the primordial spirits of many immortals on the altar earlier, which had long since incurred public wrath. . . Everyone had been harboring a fire, and now, with the opportune moment, it immediately erupted, leaving even the North Star Immortal Palace helpless. . . ”

Fang Xi’s heart stirred, and he had no intention of looking back.

Just like those fleeing immortals, the instigator who dared to disrupt the North Star Immortal Palace’s event naturally had backing, most likely another Dao Monarch.

When two tigers fight, it's not good if the nearby flora and fauna get hurt.

Watching the show was fine, but he couldn't get himself involved.

Even an external avatar required many treasures and a long time to condense!

“Hmm. . . My cultivation of the Earth Immortal Undying Art, combined with the One-Into-Three Pureness divine ability, is different. . . but not fitting in isn't too good either. ”

Fang Xi muttered a complaint to himself. As he flew out of the North Star Palace, he saw countless immortal birds and rare beasts pulling a carriage, with a distinct air of fleeing in panic.

“Is that Zi Yin Dao Zi? The Yin Mountain Society. . . ”

His eyes darkened slightly, but he had no intention of going up to intercept them.

Zi Yin Dao Zi was a Half-step Dao Monarch, and he might even possess life-preserving treasures bestowed by the Yin Yang Dao Venerable. It would be impossible to capture him, and recklessly exposing hostility was not worthwhile.

“I just didn't expect this Dao Zi to act somewhat improperly, being the first to undermine the North Star Immortal Palace. . . It seems he doesn’t hold the powers of this minor place in too high regard. . . ”

“Well, it’s true, once he successfully severs the Dao, he too will be a Dao Monarch of a region. ”

As Fang Xi was grumbling inwardly, the North Star Palace behind him suddenly moved!

A silver river descended from the nine heavens, instantly reducing the entire North Star Palace to dust!

Within this silver river, a tall, towering figure from behind emerged.

Clad in feathered robes and a star crown, he seemed entirely composed of starlight laws, every movement exuding an unstoppable, surging might.

Ten thousand rays of starlight converged upon him!

“Is this the power of Merging with the Dao? ”

“It truly far surpasses ordinary True Immortals. . . ”

It was Fang Xi's first time witnessing a Dao Monarch act, and he felt as if the surroundings had become incredibly oppressive, even the void had become much denser.

The next moment, the figure enveloped in endless starlight instantly expanded, topping the sky and treading the earth in the blink of an eye, holding a person in his hand—it was none other than the North Star Palace Master!

“Qing Yun. . . ”

The Dao Monarch of the North Star Immortal Palace let out a Dao sound that seemed to shake heaven and earth.

Fang Xi’s heart stirred, recalling the contents of the book he had just seen.

“After being hunted, not only did he not perish and have his Dao dissipate, but he cultivated to become a Dao Monarch and returned to kill? As expected. . . this is the protagonist! ”

An azure auspicious cloud shot skyward, followed by countless streams of liberation immortal light descending.

That immortal light fell upon a Star Guard, who was Meng Fei. His bewildered face immediately showed a hint of disbelief: “I. . . I’m free? ”

“How dare you? ! ”

The Dao Monarch of the North Star Immortal Palace roared in fury, and stars swayed and fell one by one, as if a meteor shower poured down from the void.

Each of those meteors possessed the terrifying power to annihilate True Immortals!

“After I attained my Dao, all who see my auspicious cloud shall attain great freedom and great ease. . . ”

Within the azure auspicious cloud, only a clear, jade-like voice resonated.

Countless streams of liberation immortal light scattered, falling onto the foreheads of the Star Guards.

Whether Ao An, Feng Huang, and other demon races, or other celestial demons, or even humans. . . all rejoiced. Their bodies flashed with light, shattering their azure armor: “Haha. . . we are finally free. ”

Roar! Roar!

A dragon’s roar was heard.

A colossal dragon, seemingly roaming through time, appeared and headed into the distance, even turning back to curse: “North Star Immortal Palace, Ao will surely settle this debt in the future! ”

Chirp! Chirp!

Feng Huang transformed into a massive five-colored phoenix, directly traversing the void and fleeing.

Her gaze, just before she left, was also full of profound meaning.

“After I attained my Dao, all who stand beneath my auspicious cloud shall be invulnerable to all techniques. . . ”

The next moment, that clear, jade-like voice resonated again.

The azure auspicious cloud, like a grand canopy, propped up a segment of the sky.

Countless swaying stars fell upon the azure canopy, and as the canopy slightly turned, it neutralized countless stars.

Then, an inexplicable power of laws emerged, intertwining with the laws of stars.

“Today marks the first day that my ‘Ascension Alliance’ officially takes control of the North Star Immortal Domain! ”

“All ascended cultivators can join the Ascension Alliance. ”

Qing Yunzi, or rather, the Azure Cloud Dao Monarch’s voice, resounded again.

He put aside past grievances, even rescuing the demon and devil races. These fleeing Star Guards would surely owe him a debt of gratitude, and it was highly likely that most of them would join the ‘Ascension Alliance’.

Not to mention, the Earthly Immortal World was just one of many Middle Thousand Worlds corresponding to the North Star Immortal Domain!

How terrifying would the trend be after liberating so many 'Star Guards'?

Fang Xi could barely imagine.

...

“Crazy, crazy! ”

“Quick, let’s go! ”

He and a group of immortals rushed into the Ice Palace, ignoring other sect members and disciples, and directly activated this war immortal artifact.

The Ice Palace stirred up endless wind and snow, transforming into a streak of light that shot out of the North Star Plaza.

“Master. . . ”

Fang Xian came to Fang Xi’s side, a hint of worry in his eyes: “Is that. . . ? ”

“The North Star Immortal Palace is likely doomed! ”

Xu Qing gasped: “It is rumored that the North Star Immortal Palace enslaved a large number of ascended immortals. . . Now that these immortals have regained their freedom, the North Star Immortal Palace will likely suffer the backlash. . . ”

To put it unpleasantly, the foundations and talents of those ascended immortals perhaps completely surpassed the disciples nurtured by the North Star Immortal Palace itself.

If their own Dao Monarch were still present, they could suppress it.

But ironically, a Dao Monarch had actually emerged among the ascended cultivators!

The situation of the North Star Immortal Palace suddenly became precarious.

“Finally. . . we escaped. ”

The void shook, accompanied by endless blizzards, as the Ice Palace passed through the void turbulence and appeared outside.

Yu Xiu exhaled deeply, then looked at the numerous cracks on the Ice Palace’s walls, his face grim: “The North Star Immortal Domain is about to descend into chaos. . . ”

Fang Xian had long since forgotten how to speak. In the main hall of the Ice Palace, the four walls were transparent, allowing him to clearly see the scene of a silver river and an azure cloud locked in conflict behind them.

“Ah! ”

The next moment, a look of intoxication appeared on his face. He suddenly covered his eyes, and blood-tears flowed from between his fingers. . .

“The clash between two Dao Monarchs is a Dao Conflict! Your current realm is insufficient; rashly observing it can lead to accidental injury by the power of laws. . . ”

Fang Xi waved his sleeve, and a sheet of azure light immediately enveloped Fang Xian, healing his injuries: “If not for the protection of this immortal artifact, the Ice Palace, you, a Mahayana cultivator, would likely have been transformed into a streak of starlight or an azure cloud. ”

“Thank you, Master. ”

Fang Xian immediately bowed his head.

“Let alone Mahayana cultivators, even we True Immortals dare not get involved in a Dao Conflict. . . ”

Yu Xiu controlled the Ice Palace, flying hundreds of thousands of miles in one go, his expression becoming even more solemn: “Now that the North Star Immortal Domain is about to descend into chaos, those many immortals might set their sights on the treasures we possess. . . The journey back will likely not be too peaceful. ”

With the fall of the North Star Immortal Palace and the ensuing chaos, anything was possible!

Moreover, their group carried a drop of ‘Star Essence Liquid’, an item capable of attracting peak True Immortal powerhouses!

“Indeed. . . this is somewhat troublesome. ”

Fang Xi muttered, his divine sense already sensing a few obscure auras approaching. . .
