The ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍hoarse voice continued to echo, making it clear that the Spirit Dragon’s choice had already become known to its good big brother.

After ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍the voice echoed out, the enormous Immortal Court slowly rose and stood suspended in the air.

In ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍an instant, endless Immortal Radiance scattered outward, instantly dispersing the dark regions of the Immortal Realm that had yet to be developed.

A ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍pillar of light shot into the heavens, and terrifying energy erupted throughout the entire Immortal Realm.

The ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍scroll that had appeared previously opened once again, with countless names flashing upon it.

Within countless secret realms, underground areas, and hidden places throughout the Immortal Realm, figures slowly emerged one after another.

Sleeping immortals, immortals whose soul bodies had been reconstructed, and even within the Ascension Passages, countless Immortal Corpses appeared. Their originally lifeless eyes slowly recovered.

“Immortal Court, Immortal Court……”

These Immortal Corpses slowly uttered these two words.

As their consciousness returned, runic formations appeared upon their bodies one after another, and they all headed toward the Immortal Realm.

It could be said that within every passage connected to the Immortal Realm, Immortal Corpses appeared, and even the lower realms had Immortal Corpses emerging.

It could be seen just how thoroughly the Immortal Court had prepared for this.

After all, among all these Era Cycles, the Era Cycle in which the Immortal Court existed could be said to have been the strongest Era Cycle throughout the past several dozen Era Cycles.

The Immortal Court unified the Immortal Realm and commanded the myriad worlds in the name of the Immortal Court. During that period, the Immortal Realm, Outer Domains, and lower realms could be said to have been interconnected.

Countless immortals could roam everywhere, and the strength of humanity also reached its most flourishing era.

Therefore, within various domains and lower realms, there were more or less ruins left behind from the Immortal Court’s campaigns throughout the various regions of the Immortal Realm.

However, after those Existence Forces appeared and immortals from previous Era Cycles emerged, the Immortal Court’s power also suffered an unprecedented impact.

Even so, during the previous Era Cycle, the Immortal Court alone directly restrained those Existence Forces, using the power of the Immortal Court to resist forces that had barely survived through countless Era Cycles. From this alone, the might of the Immortal Court could be seen.

Although the Immortal Court ultimately lost, and even the Lord of the Immortal Court disappeared without a trace, one thing could be confirmed. As a force belonging to a contemporary Era Cycle, the Immortal Court accomplished a magnificent feat—it successfully sent several immortals into transcendence despite being surrounded and obstructed by forces from countless Era Cycles.

This was something even those forces from previous Era Cycles had never accomplished.

And now, following the actions of these Immortal Corpses, endless Immortal Radiance illuminated the world, directly piercing throughout the entire Immortal Realm and dispersing all darkness.

At this moment, the undeveloped regions of the entire Immortal Realm had already been completely swept clean.

Aside from this, forces from other Era Cycles were also continuously reviving. In less than a few days, the Immortal Energy throughout the entire Immortal Realm had already multiplied several times.

Anyone with even a little perception could feel that comprehending the Dao had become much easier than before.

Realms that originally might not loosen even after several decades of secluded cultivation now showed signs of loosening, and such a feeling appeared after cultivating for only a short while.

The great changes throughout the Immortal Realm continued, while those Existence Forces and Ancient Immortals also sensed the undisguised aura of the Immortal Court.

“As expected, that fellow really didn’t die.”

“I still remember how he once cursed us as nothing more than dogs barely clinging to life. He said that in the current era, he would suppress an entire generation, and that within this realm, only he, the Lord of the Immortal Court, could transcend.”

“Such a grand tone, yet in the end, didn’t he choose to cling to life just like us?”

“Hahahahahahaha……”

Some people could no longer help laughing.

After all, during the previous Era Cycle, the Immortal Court’s power and strength had been far too great. Combined with the advantage of belonging to the contemporary Era Cycle, it had indeed suppressed them.

Yet now that the Era Cycle had changed, the Immortal Court still possessed that same domineering temperament.

Before they could even finish speaking, the radiance released by the Immortal Court had already swept away the darkness.

Immediately afterward, a voice sounded throughout the various domains of the Immortal Realm.

“The Immortal Calendar is boundless, all heavens honor us together, the myriad worlds celebrate as one, the Immortal Court stands eternal.”

The heavy and vast voice echoed throughout the Immortal Realm.

Before the various forces or living beings of the Immortal Realm could even react.

Above the skies of the various domains throughout the Immortal Realm, terrifying Heavenly Gates faintly appeared one after another.

Faint Celestial Music continuously sounded.

Immediately afterward, under everyone’s gazes, the Heavenly Gates slowly opened, revealing countless tall and mighty figures dressed in golden armor walking out from within.

Every single figure undoubtedly possessed the strength of an immortal, ranging from Human Immortals to Heavenly Immortals and Profound Immortals.

Even farther behind them, towering figures tens of thousands of feet tall, vast enough to blot out the heavens and cover the sun, walked out.

Under such a scene and the appearance of these figures, it seemed as though they were announcing to the entire Immortal Realm that their king had returned.

“I didn’t expect the Immortal Court to actually choose this method.”

“They turned every Immortal Soldier into a Fallen Immortal, then planted Immortal Corpse techniques within their bodies. By combining these two methods, they ensured that these Immortal Soldiers could survive through endless years before throwing them into the Ascension Passages.”

“Such a clever method! This way, their own forces wouldn’t suffer too many losses. It’s just somewhat ruthless. They didn’t treat their Immortal Soldiers as immortals at all. Their fate was to endure the agony of their souls being devoured throughout endless years. They would have been better off simply dying.”

The moment the Immortal Court revealed its methods, those old monsters who had lived through an unknown number of Era Cycles immediately saw through them.

However, it had to be admitted that this method of the Immortal Court truly intimidated quite a few forces.

After all, there were not many powerful forces in every Era Cycle.

Even though some forces had once been stronger than the Immortal Court, as their strongest members transcended and countless Era Cycles continuously consumed their foundations, they had long since lost the intimidation they once possessed.

During the previous Era Cycle, the various Existence Forces had already determined that the Immortal Court would become the strongest force among the coming Era Cycles.

They had developed extremely well during the previous Era Cycle, could leave behind endless preparations in the present world, and possessed sufficient resources.

Therefore, they were not surprised by the methods revealed by the Immortal Court, because they had done similar things before.

They would arrange plans for future Era Cycles and leave behind secret realms and similar things.

However, alongside transcendence and continuous consumption, in order to compete for transcendence, there was simply not enough time afterward to accumulate resources.

Under continuous depletion, generation after generation of newcomers appearing across one Era Cycle after another eventually caused such forces to collapse.

Therefore, they were extremely familiar with this arrogant and domineering appearance of the Immortal Court.

At worst, they would simply avoid them a little.

Because they had lived for so long, these Existence Forces could not behave like the Immortal Court.

Instead, leaving more hidden preparations and concealing one’s true strength was the true path.

When you thought you could defeat me, I would simply pull out some great treasure in return.

During the previous Era Cycle, the Immortal Court had suffered precisely because of this. It had thought it could suppress and sweep through everything, yet it still underestimated these old monsters that had survived through countless Era Cycles.

No one knew what they might suddenly pull out in return.

In the eyes of these Existence Forces, the Immortal Court’s current display of strength was simply too youthful.

However, in the eyes of the Immortal Realm’s forces of the current Era Cycle, it was an absolute shock.

After all, quite a few inheritances of the Immortal Court still remained during this Era Cycle.

Not to mention anything else, even among the current immortals, there were some who had relied on those inheritances to reach their current positions.

Therefore, upon seeing the Heavenly Gates open, the golden-armored Immortal Soldiers, and hearing those words announcing the return of the Immortal Court, many people were already stunned.

“The Immortal Court, it’s the Immortal Court, they actually still exist……”

“What exactly is happening.”

“The aura on these fellows who appeared is terrifying!”

“There isn’t even the slightest trace of life, they seem like corpses……”

For a time, both sides had already stopped fighting, each carrying their own thoughts as they looked at the Immortal Court that had emerged.

Especially the alliance formed by the Immortal Realm to suppress the forces cultivating the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity.

They had originally intended to continue suppressing this Dao Lineage, but now an even more terrifying matter had appeared, so they were the quickest to choose to stop.

As for the alliance following the Path of True Cultivation through the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity, led primarily by the Buddhist Sect, Supreme Profound Sect, and Yin Phoenix Sect, when they saw the Immortal Court appear, they only had one thought—could the immortals of the Immortal Court also be taught the Dao?!

In comparison, among those traditional immortals, the Immortal Court represented the greatest threat in their eyes.

It was even greater than the current Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity.

Their conflict with the Supreme Profound Sect and the other forces affected by the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity was merely a conflict of interests.

In their eyes, if this method spread, how could they still maintain their status as immortals?

Relying on this method, even the most ordinary living being might be able to cultivate into an immortal.

This was something they did not dare imagine.

However, the appearance of the Immortal Court was completely different.

It was practically a collision between the concepts of different eras.

Judging from the Immortal Court’s display of strength, the conflict of interests between the two sides could be said to be at its greatest.

Without a doubt, now that the Immortal Court had reappeared, it would inevitably attempt to control the entire Immortal Realm once again.

Then what would happen to the forces currently controlling the Immortal Realm?

Most likely, they would have to work for the Immortal Court.

As the vested interests of the Immortal Realm, they understood better than anyone just how terrifying their own methods of exploiting mortals and Ascended Immortals were.

Obviously, if they lost, their own fate might become exactly the same as the forces and mortals they themselves had once exploited.

Therefore, any immortal possessing even a little logic would understand that the primary contradiction between themselves and the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity had already changed.

The primary contradiction had become the one between themselves and the Immortal Court.

Thus, they had to deal with the Immortal Court before dealing with the forces influenced by the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity.

——

At this moment, within the core of this alliance, the various major forces had already sent representatives to discuss how to deal with the Immortal Court.

Among the numerous forces suppressing the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity, the Ye Family, a great immortal clan, served as the leader.

Because these immortals had all seized aptitudes and Spiritual Roots from mortal cultivators, from the past until the present, the Immortal Realm had mainly been dominated by the great immortal clans.

After all, if the grandfather was an immortal, then the grandson had to become an immortal as well.

Relying on such methods, these immortal clans had already existed for hundreds of thousands of years.

Every great immortal clan had an unknown number of immortals under its command.

If Ascended Immortals did not exist.

The entire Immortal Realm would probably have judged everything by bloodline and surname.

Otherwise, you still wanted to cultivate?

Wouldn’t you simply line up every day to have your aptitude tested and reproduce?

Therefore, within the Immortal Realm, the strongest forces were not Immortal Sects, but Immortal Clans.

The Five Great Immortal Clans were among the strongest.

Previously, Cangtian Min had not chosen to throw himself against these Immortal Clans, not because he did not want to, but because he could not.

Therefore, these Immortal Clans were also the primary force seeking to destroy the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity.

The experts of the Five Great Immortal Clans gathered together.

It could be said that within each of these Immortal Clans, every family possessed three Carefree Immortals.

A single family could equal two or three existences like the Supreme Immortal Alliance.

Moreover, because these people were connected by blood, their cohesion was far greater than that of Immortal Sects cobbled together from unrelated people.

They truly shared glory and loss together.

Precisely because of this, they could stand proudly within the Immortal Realm.

“You’re here.”

Ye Changming, the Head of the Ye Family, looked at the representatives of the other Immortal Clans and spoke with a solemn expression.

Afterward, everyone present took their seats one after another.

Several days had already passed since the Immortal Court appeared and the Immortal Soldiers from the Heavenly Gates finished displaying their strength.

During this period, the Anti-Virtue Alliance led by the Five Great Immortal Clans had already stopped all actions against the forces influenced by the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity.

They chose to gather their strength and prepare to resist the Immortal Court.

However, during this period, the Immortal Court did not make many moves.

After seeing everyone seated, Ye Changming did not waste words.

“Now we have only one enemy, and that is the Immortal Court.”

“According to the fragments we learned from ancient records and those Immortal Court secret realms, under the rule of the Immortal Court, there was no such thing as dividing the Immortal Realm among Immortal Clans and immortal families. One could only become a force under the Immortal Court and provide resources according to the orders they established.”

“I’m sure everyone understands what such orders would mean. Just think about how we treat those mortals and cultivators. The Immortal Court absolutely cannot coexist peacefully with us.”

“Therefore, we must unite and preserve our interests.”

Ye Changming swept his gaze across the immortals seated there and spoke.

“So we must put aside the grudges between our clans and unite against the outside. We can even cooperate with those fellows who cultivated the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity. Presumably, they also understand what is more important.”

“Surely they don’t all think those fellows from the Immortal Court would also cultivate that evil method called the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity!”

Ye Changming’s voice became increasingly solemn.

The immortals from the various clans below looked at one another, then lightly nodded.

Facing such a terrifying force as the Immortal Court, they had no other choice.

“Since that’s the case, then our Anti-Virtue Alliance needs to change its name. I’ve never liked this name. Anti-Virtue? Am I not virtuous?”

“If it weren’t for me, those mortals would have starved to death. I gave them favorable weather and a place of shelter. I only asked for some Spiritual Roots and aptitude that were useless to them.”

“What a worthwhile transaction. I’m so virtuous, yet this name feels like I’m suppressing myself.”

The great Immortal Clans that had originally gathered to discuss forming an alliance found that the first thing their meeting needed to study was actually changing their name.

Probably no one would have expected a joint war council of the great Immortal Clans to unfold like this.

However, they only discussed it for a single day before reaching a conclusion.

Their alliance was henceforth renamed the“Sky-Holding Alliance”.

It meant that the heavens of the Immortal Realm still belonged to their great Immortal Clans, and everything would remain as it had been before—holding up the heavens and guarding the Dao.

It had to be said that under the combined power of the Five Great Immortal Clans and the current threat posed by the Immortal Court, the previously scattered forces of the Immortal Realm joined the Sky-Holding Alliance one after another.

Of course, this excluded those forces that had come into contact with the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity.
