Listening to his explanation, all the people present had different expressions and opinions.
So agreed with him, saying that it was the only thing they could do, while so said this plan was unreliable as they did not know if that supre personality had truly crossed the threshold of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm and entered the Immortal Ascension Realm or had they encountered so misfortunes and perished.
Liu Ruoxue didn’t say anything, and just watched by the side.
In the end, with no other option left, all of them placed their hopes on the expert who was potentially in the Immortal Ascension Realm and residing within the Eternal Peak.
...
So ti later, Yan Immortal Dynasty.
Imperial Palace.
Yan Zhangwei sat on the emperor’s throne with a grave expression on his face.
Just a mont ago, he got contacted by a Great Elder of the Thousand Petals Hall, a forr Golden Core Realm faction that was reduced to a Innate Realm power after the death of their previous Hall Master years ago. However, there are rumors around the cultivation world of the Qingyun Region that they may still have one or two Golden Core Realm cultivators hidden beneath that facade.
Initially, he was sowhat pleasantly surprised to get contacted by a Great Elder of such a force, but that pleasant surprise soon turned into a grave matter concerning the life and death of many forces of the Golden Core Realm and beneath after he listened to that Great Elder’s words, which may even impact the entire Qingyun Region on a large scale.
He couldn’t help but rember his words:
"Demonic cultivators are running rampant, either converting righteous path factions to the demonic path and controlling them or straight up slaughtering them rcilessly. They have Golden Core Realm powerhouses among them, and they may even have Void Refinent Realm unrivaled existences as the leading figures. I’m afraid the cultivation world of Qingyun Region is about to undergo major changes.
Our young master who possess the Heavenly Spiritual Root was taken away by them, even our eldest young lady was murdered brutally along with our only remaining Golden Core Realm powerhouse, the Supre Elder. All of this has forced us into a corner.
However, so ti ago, a lightning tribulation passed by the sky of the Yan Dynasty, and I believe it had sothing to do with a senior of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm undergoing the tribulation to enter the Immortal Ascension Realm who is currently residing in a faction called the Eternal Peak.
We request the Yan Emperor his assistance in persuading that mighty figure to help us out of our predicant, and we won’t ever forget this favor."
He had also seen the celestial phenonon above the Eternal Peak, but he doubted that Tian Yongheng was the cause of it as he was only in the Golden Core Realm at most according to his speculations.
But then again, Tian Yongheng had continously exceeded his expectations, so he couldn’t be sure about anything concerning him or the Eternal Peak right now.
At this mont, just as he was thinking of how to relay this ssage to him, a thought suddenly clicked in his mind.
It can’t be...the hidden and mysterious backer of the Eternal Peak is the mighty figure who was breaking through to the Immortal Ascension Realm? It’s indeed possible!
It ans there’s a chance this imminent crisis of the Qingyun Region can be solved!
However, by this point, he suddenly has another thought.
But how should I tell senior Tian about this...I’ve already troubled him enough and owe a lot to the Eternal Peak. If I still shalessly make such a presumptuous request, will he take offense? I an, it is a crisis regarding the entire Qingyun Region and tens of millions of people, including both mortals and Immortal Cultivators...
Snapping out of his thoughts, he decided to contact Tian Yongheng, not taking any risks about demonic cultivators.
...
A day later.
Eternal Peak.
In Tian Yongheng’s cave abode, he sat there, contemplating the events recounted by Yan Zhangwei through the Communication Jade.
Even though he had expected there to be so kind of reaction from the cultivators of Qingyun Region to those dark clouds and lightning produced because of Tian Yunchen’s Nirvana Rebirth, he never even imagined that the repercussions would be this big.
People actually thought that a supre expert had gone through the lightning tribulation to breakthrough to the Immortal Ascension Realm here. Even Yan Zhangwei thought the sa.
Even so disciples of the Eternal Peak had similar thoughts and were thinking that the person who crossed the lightning tribulation was Tian Yongheng’s master and the true backbone of the Eternal Peak!
Shaking his head, he began to think about how to deal with the current situation.
Yan Zhangwei had told him about the recent events in the Qingyun Region including the incidents with demonic cultivators, which made him instinctively feel uneasy.
And although he didn’t say anything regarding the matter of the Thousand Petals Hall, as he had no connection with them whatsoever, he still had to be prepared to face all sorts of threats and thus decided to cultivate all his techniques and spells to his current level.
He also told Yan Zhangwei that the Eternal Peak won’t be making any moves till a few decades, leaving him a bit disappointed.
However, despite not even being associated with the Thousand Petals Hall, he did not leave them with no way as he contacted Mo Yuxin swiftly afterwards and told her about their current situation and recounted everything Yan Zhangwei had told him.
Mo Yuxin readily agreed to send reinforcents to help the Thousand Petals Hall out of their situation.
I’ve done what I can, now it all depends on fate.
Finally sitting cross-legged, he contemplated about which technique or spell should he cultivate first.
Without enough strength, forget about protecting others, one can’t even protect oneself.
Who knows how many peerless geniuses have fallen on this path before they could display their talents because of recklessness and insufficient power?
It’s better to hide and cultivate to the peak before going out into the world.
Immortal Cultivation is not about being the strongest, but living the longest.
That’s the sole purpose of my cultivation, my Dao, and my path to immortality.
Strength will naturally follow.
With this mindset, he began his cultivation.
...
In a dark, damp cave abode inside of a valley located a distance away from both the Eternal Peak and Thousand Petals Hall, nearby a big, independent mortal city.
The valley was extrely deep, inaccessible to not just mortals and Martial Artists but even Immortal Cultivators up to the Qi Condensation Realm.
Occasionally, howls of fierce Demon Beasts echoed throughout the valley, making it appear even more frightening.
The cave abode was adorned with nefarious paintings and fiendish drawings, along with many sinister ritual thods, evil techniques and demonic arts written on the walls, completely contradicting the cave abode of not just Tian Yongheng but almost all Immortal Cultivators.
There were the bones of many living beings, including humans, scattered around. Blood carefully extracted into pots and vials, along with many kinds of internal organs and body parts such as the eyeballs.
In the deepest part of the cave abode which was surprisingly large, around 200 ters, two figures, a man and a woman, could be seen.
They were both the sa people who had caused massacres in mortal villages and were behind the demonic cultivators who attacked the Thousand Petals Hall.
The man was called Kong Junyu, and the woman’s na was Qiao Lan.
Kong Junyu sat in a lotus position on a cultivation cushion as he looked up at Qiao Lan.
"Have you prepared everything?" He asked, hard to tell what was going on in his mind from his tone of voice.
"Yes, master. Everything has been prepared." She replied respectfully with a deep bow, pointing to her side where all the vials and bowls full of blood mixed with dicinal ingredients were neatly arranged, raw internal organs of many Demons and perhaps even human cultivators who had possibly been at the Golden Core Realm when they were alive also lay besides the bowls and vials of blood.
One could guess that they were extrely powerful figures even among Golden Core Realm cultivators when they were still alive just from the Spiritual Energy emanating from those internal organs and the blood.
Kong Junyu had a straight face as he picked up a bowl of a forr Golden Core Realm cultivator’s blood mixed with dicinal ingredients and drank it in a single breath, putting it down as he stabilized his condition and closed his eyes, circulating his Demonic Energy while he prepared to enter a ditative state.
With all this, my breakthrough to the peak of the Golden Core Realm is imminent. It’s only a matter of ti before I achieve the Nascent Soul Realm and sweep through the entire Qingyun Region. The Qingyun Region is only a fodder for my rise to ascension and becoming the Profound Void Demonic Monarch!
At this point, an illusory scripture appeared in his Sea of Consciousness, looking very ancient and profound.
With the Profound Void Demonica thod in my hands that allows cultivation through blood refinent, nothing is impossible!
...
At the sa ti, the Eternal Peak.
Tian Yongheng suddenly opened his eyes, frowning inwardly.
What was that just now? My intuitions were warning about sothing, but I can’t pinpoint what exactly it was..
It’s as if a great danger is approaching...
I should focus on upgrading my skills first. Only then can I feel at ease.
"Only when I’m strong enough, will I be able to handle everything that cos my way."
With that, he closed his eyes once again, reentering his ditative state.
