Chapter 1025: The Yao Family’s True Immortal!

In the Immortal Realm.

Inside a cave dwelling located in a desolate wasteland. A True Immortal named Yao Yuanshan had excitement written all over his face. Since the first True Immortal of the Yao family ascended to the Immortal Realm a million years ago, he had been invited to join a major sect.

After all, anyone capable of opening the Heavenly Gate and ascending from the harsh lower world was considered a genius even in the Immortal Realm. The Yao family's True Immortal ancestor had been full of ambition, believing he would one day become an Immortal King and establish an Immortal King clan in the Immortal Realm.

However, he soon discovered that the Immortal Realm was not so different from the cultivation world. Cultivation still required wealth, companions, techniques, and land. Unable to compete with the native prodigies, the resources he received gradually dwindled. By the time of his death, he had only reached the second level of the True Immortal realm.

His descendants fared even worse with each generation, to the point where later generations struggled even to achieve immortality. It was not until Yao Yuanshan's generation that a second True Immortal finally appeared in the Yao family.

But someone like him was far inferior to their ancestor. At best, he could only become an elder in a small sect in the Immortal Realm. He didn't even qualify to enter a major sect.

Without wealth, companions, techniques, or land, Yao Yuanshan felt nothing but despair. If nothing changed, he would remain a mere first-level True Immortal for the rest of his life.

However, their ancestor had once cultivated the Forsight Secret. Before leaving the cultivation world, he had witnessed the Heavenly Emperor smashing the Jianmu Tree and deduced certain things from it, leaving behind a contingency plan.

In a jade slip, he had instructed future generations: If their cultivation did not go smoothly, they could set up a formation after a million years and wait for a summons from the lower world. If everything went well and the clansmen from both realms cooperated, they could send their divine souls into the cultivation world to plunder its resources.

Although the cultivation world was far less resource-rich than the Immortal Realm, it was still an entire world. If they could plunder it, their Immortal Path would become smooth and unobstructed. In a world without true immortals, a True Immortal soul possessing half the combat power of a real True Immortal would be the sole immortal.

Moreover, if they could receive the support of an Origin Spirit Body and refine it into their own physical form, they could display seventy percent of a True Immortal's might. As for the possibility of encountering monstrous geniuses like the Heavenly Emperor, the Devouring Immortal, or the Moral Immortal who could defy and slay True Immortals?

Neither the Yao family ancestor nor Yao Yuanshan had ever considered it. In their view, after the Jianmu Tree was severed, the Immortal Qi in the lower world had been cut off, causing the environment to continuously deteriorate. Each generation would only grow weaker. How could such freaks possibly appear again? It was simply not something worth considering.

Thus, Yao Yuanshan calculated the timing and treated this as his only chance to turn his fate around. He had prepared the materials early and set up the formation, waiting for the summons from the lower world.

He had waited in this desolate place for a full two hundred years. Just when he was beginning to worry that the Yao family in the lower world had already been destroyed, the formation he had set up finally reacted!

This filled Yao Yuanshan with wild joy. Without the slightest hesitation, he connected to the formation and poured all his immortal power into it. Using the tiny crack opened from below, he began trying to widen it. The fact that he could only send his divine soul instead of his true body due to insufficient resources was not a problem at all.

A True Immortal soul was more than enough in the lower world. It would be sufficient to make any force bow their heads and offer up their resources. He could even obtain an Origin Spirit Body as a vessel. By cultivating that body into an immortal, it would grant him a powerful Divine Ability, along with countless other benefits that would greatly assist his main body.

Here is the plain fact: this text was taken from the author's official posting without approval, not supplied for copying.

With the resources plundered from the lower world and an Origin Spirit Body avatar, his Immortal Path would be smooth sailing. In the future, he might even have a chance to become an Immortal King, establish a long-lived clan, join the ranks of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and from then on be free from the Five Decays, achieving eternal life. What their ancestor failed to accomplish would be realized in his hands.

Thinking of this, Yao Yuanshan's immortal power surged even more violently as he poured it all into the formation, widening the crack bit by bit. In just another half an hour, he would be able to descend. But suddenly, the crack widened by several fractions.

Yao Yuanshan's eyes widened in confusion. Was this the doing of the Yao family descendants below? Not bad at all!

Originally, Yao Yuanshan had not planned to bring any of the lower world Yao family members up with him. What use was a bunch of trash? They were all mud-legged peasants, far inferior to those he could sire himself.

He had already made plans for his eight slots, intending to bring up eight female cultivators with top-tier aptitude. He would use them as cauldrons to bear his offspring and expand his bloodline.

After all, high-aptitude female cultivators in the Immortal Realm were extremely arrogant. They only chose Dao companions who were stronger than themselves and would not even spare a glance at someone like him.

However, seeing the current commotion, Yao Yuanshan felt that the Yao family in the lower world might actually have some good seedlings. He could bring one or two up to cultivate and have them assist him.

Noticing that the crack was now large enough for his divine soul to descend, Yao Yuanshan did not wait any longer. Just the divine materials needed to protect his divine soul had already bankrupted him.

As for protecting his physical body, the required divine materials were even more astronomical—he didn't dare to even think about it.

Even if the crack grew larger, his true body could not descend. Forcing it through would only result in annihilation. Under these circumstances, there was naturally no need to wait.

Yao Yuanshan's main body sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and his divine soul shot out with a boom. Filled with excitement, it surged into the crack… He knew that his path to immortality would change forever today. His future was boundless…

In the next instant, Yao Yuanshan's divine soul vanished into the crack. Without anyone to maintain it, the formation lost its power. The crack slowly closed like a healing wound, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye. Only a True Immortal's physical body remained, sitting quietly in place. Waiting silently for the return of its divine soul.

The moment Ye Chen made his move and forcibly widened the crack, the Yao family members were stunned. They had never expected Ye Chen to be this insane… He was actually helping a True Immortal descend.

Yao Xi became extremely anxious. "Junior brother, you can't do that… They are summoning a True Immortal, and it's not some remnant thought like an immortal deity's will, but a complete True Immortal soul. It's said to possess at least half the strength of a real True Immortal… You absolutely cannot let him come down."

Hearing this, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, his eyes showing clear disappointment. Only a True Immortal soul? With such a grand setup, he had thought the Yao family was actually summoning a real True Immortal!

Not to mention his current peak quasi-immortal cultivation—even when he was at the peak of the Great Emperor realm, if he couldn't defeat a mere True Immortal soul, he might as well commit suicide and stop pretending.

The Yao family clan leader and the others were extremely nervous. The True Immortal ancestor was their only chance of survival. If the Heavenly Emperor's heir stopped him, they would undoubtedly die.

However, Ye Chen raised his hand and condensed two massive palms, intending to tear the crack even wider. "Only a divine soul? That's not enough. I want you to bring your true body down with you…"

Everyone present was shocked. Was the Heavenly Emperor's heir being too arrogant? It was true that the cultivation world had records of quasi-immortals defying and slaying True Immortals.

But throughout history, only three people had successfully killed a True Immortal. The Heavenly Emperor had set up an incomplete immortal array in ambush and fought a bloody battle for three days to defy and kill a True Immortal.

The Devouring Female Immortal had launched a sneak attack on an elderly True Immortal from the myriad races whose vitality had already declined. She devoured his origin and killed him.

The last was the Moral Heavenly Venerable, who, with the support of three immortal artifacts and a grand formation, spent an entire month in a three-against-one battle to kill a True Immortal. It was said that the deceased True Immortal had previously suffered severe origin injuries.

In other words, every True Immortal who had died at the hands of a quasi-immortal had not been in their peak state. They were all damaged or weakened existences. They had needed various external aids to successfully slaughter an immortal, and the process had been fraught with danger… So, where did the Heavenly Emperor's heir get the confidence to be this arrogant?
