At the sa ti, not far from the Heavenly Region.
*Swoosh!*
A streak of divine light flashed through the sky, leaving behind dazzling celestial phenona that was visible for tens of thousands of miles.
In the divine light, an upright figure with an indifferent expression could be seen. It was none other than Tian Yongheng, or to be exact, his clone at the Eighth Stage of Tribulation Transcendence Realm who was here for the Kunlun Immortal Convention.
Despite his outer appearance, there was a hint of urgency in his heart. His true body was on the verge of a breakthrough and would enter the Immortal Ascension Realm within a few years at most. However, that obviously was not enough if he were to face ancient powerhouses like the Archaic Forbidden Demon God.
As soon as he broke through, he had to comprehend the Sword Intent in the jade slip given to him by the Sword Venerable to stand a chance against the Demon God. There was really no ti at all to comprehend the Sword Intent and create a new kind of Sword Intent so quickly. He had to think of so alternate way to enhance his combat power exponentially.
Only the rewards of the system after breaking through to the Immortal Ascension Realm could prove to be the most helpful in this situation aside from the Sword Venerable's Sword Intent.
He had already sent a ssage to Yan Jingfei and Jian Qi through the Symphony of Infinite Distance that the Kunlun Immortal Convention was over and he would be returning to the Eternal Peak first. They could co back later.
Apparently, both of them were busy at the mont, sohow stuck in a secret realm, probably related to the inheritance Yan Jingfei had obtained in her past life.
Tian Yongheng didn't dwell too much on it. Both Yan Jingfei and Jian Qi were Chosen Ones. They wouldn't get hurt ot die so easily, and could even turn misfortune into fortune. It was better for them to train this way.
In this way, he sped up, the divine light moving even faster than before as wherever it passed, countless creatures, mortals and cultivators, all looked up in fascination and disbelief.
In the past few years, mortals had already all beco aware of the existence of Immortal Cultivators and the cultivation world, thus, there was not fear of the unknown but instead reverence and a deep sense of longing in their eyes as they looked up at the divine light.
Although most still only knew about the Acupoint Opening Stage or Qi Condensation Realm, they were aware that this must be an extrely high level cultivator streaking across the skies since this scene had happened more than once in the last few years because of the Kunlun Immortal Convention.
On the other hand, knowledgeable cultivators were even more full of endless longing at this scene, as they knew that no ordinary expert could traverse thousands of miles in a split second.
It was the speed of the illusory beings above the Immortal Ascension Realm!
As Immortal Cultivation and knowledge of the Dao spread far and wide from a few years ago, countless prodigies and nobles began to search for ways to enter the road, making the number of geniuses discovered annually to surge exponentially. Although only one in a thousand mortals possessed Spiritual Roots of the basic 5 elents and even less possessed other rare and advanced talents, the number of Immortal Cultivators in the world had increased exponentially.
Now, most mortals who once considered Immortals and Gods as re tales and myths used to talk about them daily.
At this mont, in the capital of a mortal dynasty.
In the court room of the imperial palace, a large banquet was happening, where all officials of third rank and above were invited. Even outside, the imperial family had was providing free food for all people in the capital for the entire week, and all officials had recieved so sort of benefits more or less.
The reason was simple.
"Hahaha! It's truly a blessing for our Great Wei that our youngest prince possessed the Lightning Heavenly Spiritual Root and was accepted as the personal disciple of the Golden Core Immortal Master!"
"With his highness the eighth prince leading Great Wei in the future, there's a great chance it can be promoted to the level for a cultivation dynasty! Heavens have truly blessed the imperial family, the saying that the son of a tiger will not be a pig is really true!"
"Even if his highness the eighth prince doesn't beco the future ruler of Great Wei and decides to pursue a higher path, just the scraps slipping by his finger will be enough for our future generations to change their fate!"
Laughter of the officials mixed with genuine admiration and flattery along with the hint of envy echoed through the court room, all directed towards either the emperor of Great Wei, the imperial family, or the eighth prince.
However, the emperor, sitting on the throne as he sipped the wine from his exquisite jade wine cup didn't seem to mind the emotions of these people sitting below him and just laughed heartily, a smile never leaving his face.
He was in full spirits ever since he recieved the news that his 6 year old son, the eighth prince of Great Wei, possessed the legendary Heavenly Spiritual Root, guaranteed to ascend to the mythical Upper Realm of true Immortals and Gods, and a once in a million Thunder Spiritual Root at that, with one of the strongest attack powers and an innate affinity to Lightning Tribulations!
This could be said to be the accumulation of the 500 years of Great Wei's luck, perhaps the thousands of years of his ancestry's luck!
As long as he beca even a Foundation Establishnt Realm or Acquired Realm cultivator, the Great Wei could undoubtedly continue its lineage with his support for at least a thousand more years even if he didn't ascend the throne, not to ntion that the Acquired Realm was just the starting point for him.
Because of this imasurable talent, he was even directly accepted as the only personal disciple of the Lightning Storm Sect's Sect Master, a Golden Core powerhouse, and because of his son's great affection for his ho and family, the Lightning Storm Sect with its Void Refinent Realm ancestor even sent a Golden Core elder of the sect to protect Great Wei, stationed in the capital city.
Had the Void Refinent ancestor of the Lightning Storm Sect not been in secluded cultivation for the past 200 years, he would have directly accepted this prodigy as his disciple.
At this mont, just as similar conversations were taking place in the entire capital, a sudden storm suddenly brewed thousands of ters above the city as waves of lightning spread out in all directions, covering the entire city and beyond in a radius of hundreds of miles.
Cultivators hidden in the range of this storm, mostly below the Foundation Establishnt Realm and a few Foundation Establishnt and Acquired Realm experts who were drawn to this place because of the appearance of the Heavenly Spiritual Root and the protection of a Golden Core expert overseeing everything in the capital all looked up at the sky teeming with dark clouds as a look of realization spread across all of them.
They could actually sense Spiritual Energy waves within the storm!
It was what all the cultivators nearby below the Golden Core Realm sensed from above.
However, the Golden Core cultivator designated to protect the Great Wei's capital by the Lightning Storm Sect had eyes full of horror as he gazed up at the sky atop a mountain just behind the capital.
"Spa...spacial fragnts!?"
He blurted out with difficulty, his expression turning slightly grim.
Golden Core cultivator had begun to comprehend the natural elents and earthly laws after shedding their mortal shell in the Innate Realm. They could sense anomalies of the earthly laws and natural elents which lower level cultivators couldn't.
The storm in the sky was actually not ford of just Spiritual Energy, there were spatial fragnts mixed in!
And only cultivators of the Void Refinent Realm could manipulate space and traverse the void through hundreds of miles!
*Swoosh!*
The storm grew even more force, fragnts of void and space mixed in as it continued to spread our, stopping at a thousand miles of distance.
Due to the commotion, all the people, no matter if they were mortals or cultivators, ca out to see what was happening, including the people in the court room of the imperial palace, yet were dumbfounded by the sight before their eyes.
In the center of the storm above the capital city, countless spatial fragnts collided fiercely before the void shattered layer by layer, a portal appearing in the midst of it all.
Two hands reached out, tearing the portal open as Jiang Ruyin rushed out of it, teleporting hundreds of miles away as she quickly ford a spell, throwing it hastily towards the portal before a sudden realization sank in.
Oh no! There are people below in this city!
A wave of terrifying pressure enveloped the capital city as the scalps of all cultivators turned cold while horror flashed past the eyes of the mortals. Even the Golden Core expert from the Lightning Storm Sect was helpless at this mont.
However, at that very instance, a slender hand reached out from the portal, lightning dancing across its fingertips as streaks of purple lightning flashed across the sky, dying it purple.
The purple lightning collided with the dark void erupting above the city, an earth shattering noise resonating through hundreds of miles, dazzling the eyes of all the onlookers.
A Void Refinent Realm battle!
