Chapter 414: Another Kunlun Immortal Convention, Upper Realm About to Make a Move

Ten years passed by in the blink of an eye.

For cultivators standing at the peak of the Lower Realm, ten, hundred, or even a thousand years were not enough for a single secluded cultivation session.

Yet, during these ten years, the entire Lower Realm had undergone an indescribable transformation.

The unusual phenomena that had first appeared decades ago had not disappeared, and instead, they had become increasingly obvious.

The Providence vortex above the endless heavens continued to revolve and the Lower Realm Spirit had awakened more completely, causing the heavenly rules throughout the Lower Realm to become increasingly active.

Spirit Qi surged and natural elements manifested all while the Heavenly Dao seemed to have become both more distant and more restless.

Most importantly, the connection between the Lower Realm and the higher worlds remained completely severed.

No one could ascend, no message could enter or exit, and no communication could pass through the ancient barriers separating realms.

It was as if the entire Lower Realm had been abandoned by heaven and earth.

Naturally, countless cultivators noticed this.

At first, many believed that some unprecedented opportunity was about to descend.

After all, the sudden increase in Spirit Qi and the increasingly active heavenly rules were simply too beneficial.

Some even speculated that the Lower Realm was about to enter an age surpassing all previous golden ages.

However, as the years passed, the more discerning experts gradually realized that something was wrong.

Then, more than a decade ago, Kunlun Divine Mountain suddenly announced something that shook the entire Lower Realm.

Another Kunlun Immortal Convention would be held, but this time, it wasn’t for the Righteous-Demonic War, the resurrection of some ancient existence, or any dispute between various supreme inheritances.

Instead, the invitation was sent throughout the entire Lower Realm.

The Nine Great Mortal Worlds, the countless small worlds scattered throughout the Outer Void, ancient hidden worlds, remote star domains, and even those ancient existences who had secluded themselves within the depths of the endless void received invitations.

Anyone possessing sufficient cultivation to cross the barriers between worlds could come, and even their younger generations could accompany them.

Such an unprecedented scale immediately caused countless powerful beings to become vigilant.

What exactly had happened?

Why would Kunlun Divine Mountain gather practically every major force in the Lower Realm?

And what made this matter even more shocking was that the Second Great Mortal World’s Kunlun Divine Mountain wasn’t acting alone.

The other branches of Kunlun Divine Mountain throughout the Nine Great Mortal Worlds had seemingly tacitly acknowledged this matter, beginning to prepare one after another.

Even the Golden Crows residing within the Primordial Sun Stars of the other Mortal Worlds showed signs of movement, and the Eight-Tailed Celestial Fox of the Second Great Mortal World, the only one in the entire Lower Realm, also moved.

The names of these beings alone were enough to cause countless ancient inheritances to tremble.

After all, these were not ordinary races.

They possessed ancient bloodlines and terrifying inheritances that could be traced back to unimaginable eras and the 33 Heavens Divine Realm.

And behind the Kunlun Saint Master, there was also the unfathomable Eternal Lord, with the Eternal Peak acknowledging this fact.

That existence who had accomplished miracle after miracle, a Half Immortal who slaughtered Vagrant Immortals and defeated the Archaic Forbidden Demon God.

A monstrous existence whose rise had completely exceeded the understanding of countless cultivators.

Naturally, no one dared to underestimate this gathering.

As the date of the Kunlun Immortal Convention approached, streaks of light continuously crossed the heavens.

Every day, magnificent flying treasures could be seen traversing the sky.

Some were hundreds of miles long, some resembled enormous palaces, some were ancient warships covered in countless restrictions, and there were even enormous Spirit Beasts pulling ancient carriages through the clouds.

For ordinary mortals and low level cultivators, these sights were enough to remain unforgettable for an entire lifetime.

Yet, as more and more powerful beings arrived, even such astonishing scenes gradually became commonplace.

"Another Rank-10 Dharma Artifact has arrived!"

"That’s the flying palace of the Azure Sky Holy Land, one of the thirteen major factions of the Seventh Great Mortal World. Sigh, this old man has lived for sixty-seven thousand years—"

"Look over there! That’s the legendary Seven Colored Divine Lightning Cloud of the Thundercloud Sect, a Rank-10 Dharma Artifact forged using a Natural Treasure!"

"Hey, you brat, how dare you cut this old man off? You—"

"A Golden Crow!? Even they have come?"

"What exactly does Kunlun intend to do this time?"

"..."

Rumors rapidly spread throughout the Mortal World.

No one knew the truth, but everyone could sense that something enormous was about to happen.

Some mortals even began saying that the Great Immortals and Divinities of heaven and earth were gathering to resist an unprecedented catastrophe.

Although such rumors were exaggerated, they weren’t entirely wrong.

The atmosphere throughout the Lower Realm had become increasingly tense, and even ordinary cultivators could vaguely sense the heaviness permeating heaven and earth.

And atop the Eternal Peak, Tian Yongheng naturally knew exactly what was happening.

Several days earlier, he had already discussed the matter with Tian Yun.

"I’ll help you suppress the Vagrant Immortals."

Tian Yongheng’s voice had been as calm as usual at the time, even tinged with a hint of arrogant, causing Tian Yun’s brows to twitch faintly on the other side of the Communication Jade.

"With me present, those Vagrant Immortals shouldn’t be able to interfere with the Convention."

Tian Yun had merely nodded back then.

"Then I’ll trouble you."

Tian Yongheng shook his head. "There’s no need to be polite."

The truth regarding the Cleansing had to be announced; there was no longer any reason to conceal it. The more people knew, the more prepared they could become.

Even if the final result was still destined to be tragic, at least they would have the opportunity to struggle.

Over these ten years, many members of the Eternal Peak had already gone to Kunlun Divine Mountain.

Qing Yunzi, Lu Qingfeng, Wei Qiushan, Liu Ruoxue, Yan Jingfei, Yang Wei Mo Yuxin, Ao Longchen, Zhao Ye, Tian Yunchen, and several others had all gone.

Even Zhu Dong had entered seclusion within the Eternal Peak, desperately attempting to increase his cultivation before the coming catastrophe.

As for Tian Yongheng himself, his true body had always remained in seclusion, with the Earth Immortal Realm still being his greatest priority.

At his current cultivation speed, another several decades, probably over fifty years, perhaps even less, should be enough.

Tian Yongheng’s clone stood inside his cave abode, his crimson eyes quietly looking into the distance.

Soon, this clone of his would depart for Kunlun, and his main body would remain here. Everything had already been arranged.

Yet, just as Tian Yongheng was about to turn around, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared within the depths of his mind.

Tian Yongheng’s expression changed slightly.

The Symphony of Infinite Distance!

He immediately stopped moving, receiving the message without hesitation.

The next instant, an extremely familiar voice suddenly exploded within his mind.

"Peak Master, something major has happened!"

It was indeed none other than Wei Yusheng.

But unlike his usual composure, Wei Yusheng’s voice carried unprecedented urgency and panic.

"The situation is extremely grim!"

Tian Yongheng’s pupils contracted as he immediately activated the Symphony of Infinite Distance, sending a message over.

"What happened?"

There was a brief silence before Wei Yusheng’s voice came again, his breathing slightly hurried.

"I just received information that the Upper Realm is preparing to start the Cleansing ahead of schedule!"

Tian Yongheng’s expression instantly became solemn.

"When? How long do we have left?"

Wei Yusheng hesitated for a moment before finally saying each word through gritted teeth.

"Fifty years." ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The entire cave abode suddenly became silent as Tian Yongheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Fifty years..."

His voice was extremely calm, yet beneath that calmness was a terrifying coldness chilling to the extreme.

Wei Yusheng immediately continued.

"Their primary target is the Second Great Mortal World, and they have apparently already made all preparations. According to the information I obtained, this time’s scale is far greater than ordinary Cleansings; several supreme inheritances such as the Moon Water Divine Dynasty have already begun mobilizing their forces, and the experts descending won’t be limited to Half Immortals!"

Tian Yongheng remained silent, countless thoughts flowing through his mind rapidly.

The Cleansing... was about to arrive in fifty years.

It meant they only had fifty years of time left.

Originally, Tian Yongheng had estimated that he could break through after fifty years of cultivation, and that was already barely sufficient.

Now, the Upper Realm would descend in fifty years. Hell, there was even a possibility that they would arrive earlier.

At this thought, an extremely suffocating coldness emerged within Tian Yongheng’s eyes, causing the entire Dao Field to tremble imperceptibly.

Wei Yusheng’s voice continued, tinged with a hint of barely suppressed anger.

"There is another matter, the information I obtained said that the Upper Realm’s operation will focus heavily on the Second Great Mortal World, and... and the Eternal Peak is apparently one of their primary targets."

Tian Yongheng’s expression remained unchanged, however, his fingers slowly tightened.

He naturally understood why.

The Second Great Mortal World was currently the most unusual place within the Lower Realm.

The many reincarnated supreme beings, regressors, Providence Bearers, children of fortune, Chosen Ones, even he himself...

Too many variables had gathered here.

Naturally, it had become the greatest threat.

Wei Yusheng seemed to realize something and immediately asked.

"Can the Peak Master hear me?"

"I’m here." Tian Yongheng slowly answered.

Wei Yusheng hesitated slightly.

"Then... what are you planning to do?"

Tian Yongheng did not answer immediately, his gaze silently passing through the cave abode.

At the center of the room, his true body was seated cross-legged, countless Dao rhymes surrounding him while Immortal light continuously flowed across his body as his aura became much more profound than ten years ago.

The final bottleneck separating him from the Earth Immortal Realm was already extremely close.

Tian Yongheng quietly sensed the condition of his body before answering.

"Don’t worry about me, I’ll handle the matters here."

Wei Yusheng remained silent for several breaths before sighing.

Since Tian Yongheng was so calm, he believed that he must have a plan.

After all, this Peak Master of his was no ordinary person.

Since he could see through this so long ago and remind him to pass on the information as soon as any abnormalities occurred, then he must have thought of everything.

"Then... take care, Peak Master."

"I will."

The connection slowly weakened before disappearing completely.

Tian Yongheng stood alone inside the cave abode.

He slowly turned his head and looked towards his true body.

The dense Immortal Qi surrounding the latter suddenly began surging more violently as countless Dharma charms appeared and Dao rhymes intertwined.

The very space around his true body began to distort, a faint pressure gradually spreading outwards, almost imperceptible yet fundamentally different from before.

Tian Yongheng’s gaze became increasingly profound.

"Earth Immortal..."

He softly muttered before closing his eyes.

The next moment, his clone stepped forward.

His figure instantly transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the cave abode.

The Kunlun Immortal Convention was about to begin, and with only fifty years remaining, there was no longer any room for hesitation.

The Upper Realm would soon descend, and before that moment arrived, Tian Yongheng had only one thing to do:

Breakthrough!
