For cultivators in the Sub-Origin Domain, aside from the known options of the Origin Domain and Empyrean Domain where they can ascend, there exists a third alternative: The Primordial Sea Realm.
During the upheaval of the Great Catastrophe, a gate materialized in the vast expanse above the Domain. This gate, situated at an immense distance, remained inconspicuous to all but the cultivators of the Immortal Savorgions Realm and those who stood at a comparable level of cultivation.
Without delay, these formidable cultivators swiftly relocated their clans through the gate.
However, the gate only manifested for a mere five minutes before vanishing permanently, leaving an enigmatic enigma in its wake.
For a considerable period of time, the gate lingered as an unsolved riddle in the annals of history.
Then, one day, an unexpected occurrence took place at the heart of the Sub-Origin Domain, nestled between the Yin and Yang regions. A temple emerged, henceforth known as The Yin Yang Harmony Temple.
It soon became apparent that only cultivators above the Dao Integration Realm possessed the power to enter this sacred temple. As numerous apex figures ventured within its hallowed walls, the secrets it harbored gradually unraveled.
Legend has it that the temple was constructed and brought into existence by a mysterious figure known as the Light Bringer Sage. An esteemed cultivator renowned for his benevolence and compassion during the Thriving Immortal Era, the Light Bringer Sage once stood among the pinnacle of cultivators prior to the Great Catastrophe. However, during that calamitous period, the sage vanished from sight, leading to speculations that he had entered the enigmatic gate alongside other apex cultivators.
Preserved within the confines of the Yin and Yang Temple lies a grand stone tablet that elucidates the truth. As per its account, the cultivators who ventured through the aforementioned gate found themselves transported to a new realm beyond the Infinite Domains. This realm, known as the Primordial Sea Realm, rendered even the Immortal Savorgions as mere ordinary cultivators, their status as powerhouses egregiously diminished.
Within the Primordial Sea Realm, the governing force is the Primordial Will—the source of all laws. This omnipotent will encompass every facet of cultivation, including dao, origin, and any other path that can be traversed.
Having ascended to power within the Primordial Sea Realm, the Light Bringer Sage, upon returning to the lower domain, constructed the Yin and Yang Harmony Temple, bestowing upon cultivators of the lower domain an opportunity to alter their fates.
However, this opportunity is attainable solely by passing a rigorous and distinctive test known as the Light Crossing Road.
Whispers and rumors circulate that only cultivators possessing power surpassing that of the Seventh-Order Realm possess the ability to traverse this road and reach the Primordial Sea Realm. Yet, can such a feat truly be accomplished?
In the world of cultivation, nothing is truly beyond reach. Throughout history, various individuals have managed to successfully cross the road and head to the Primordial Sea Realm.
How is the knowledge of this achievement widespread, one might wonder?
Each and every one of these extraordinary beings who have traversed the Light Crossing Road were unprecedented geniuses, capable of single-handedly dominating an entire era.
Upon entering this new realm, these exceptional individuals quickly become a formidable force, possessing the ability to once again communicate with the lower domain.
In fact, some of them even possess the power to manifest their will in the lower domain.
Why is the third path not as popular as the other two?
There are several reasons. Firstly, its low survival rate is a significant deterrent. With only a one percent chance of survival and a staggering ninety-nine percent chance of death, it’s natural for people to be hesitant to embark on this journey.
Furthermore, throughout the past fifty million years, only a handful of individuals have successfully navigated this path. The rarity of such occurrences suggests that it is an exceptionally challenging and treacherous route to take. This lack of success stories may discourage people from attempting the third path, as they might perceive it as an insurmountable challenge.
Additionally, the popularity of the other two paths could also contribute to the relative unpopularity of the third path. If the first two paths offer higher chances of success and are more widely known, people are likely to gravitate towards them instead of taking the risk associated with the third path.
"So Senior Xuan is aiming for the third option?" Liang chuckled, his voice laced with amusement.
"Humph! Third? For this Revenant, it’s the only option!" Senior Xuan sneered, his tone dripping with arrogance and superiority.
Liang nodded, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips as he pondered the situation. "If Senior Xuan is so interested, then how about we cooperate?"
"Cooperate? With you? A brat that recently broke through the Dao Integration Realm?" Senior Xuan burst into mocking laughter, his amusement was undeniable. "Any one of the Corpse Generals under me can take you down with ease."
Liang shook his head, his expression calm and composed. "Not everything is power-centered. The two factions have many cultivators all around the domain, How many Heavenly Corpse Realm Cultivators does Senior have?"
"Why would I tell you such secret information, brat?" Senior Xuan retorted dismissively, his voice tinged with suspicion.
"No need to tell me, I already know their numbers!"
Senior Xuan’s eyes flickered with curiosity as a hint of interest crept into his expression. "Oh?"
"If I am not wrong, there are three Heavenly Corpse Generals and thirty Earth Corpse Generals under Senior!" Liang replied calmly, his voice steady and filled with certainty.
Cold light flashed through Revenant Xuan’s eyes upon hearing this revelation. Surprise mingled with suspicion, for such information was known by only him and the three Heavenly Corpse Generals under his command.
"It seems like your ability has increased, brat!" Senior Xuan exclaimed, his voice tinged with something akin to grudging admiration.
"What kind of dao are you cultivating?" he inquired, his voice curious yet guarded.
Liang’s eyes narrowed. Nevertheless, he stated nonchalantly, "Void Dao!"
Revenant Xuan’s expression changed in response to this unexpected revelation. Skepticism gave way to realization as he muttered to himself, "Not reincarnation, but void?"
Liang nodded, silently affirming Senior Xuan’s deduction.
"No wonder you are so bold," Revenant Xuan mused, his voice tinged with a grudging sense of respect.
The revelation of Liang’s Void Dao cultivation brought about an understanding between them. It became apparent why Liang suggested the cooperation since both of them could now benefit the other party in one way or another.
"If that’s the case, then I have no reason to refuse this cooperation of yours," Revenant Xuan conceded, a touch of begrudging acceptance coloring his voice.
With a flick of his fingers, he summoned a great formation in the air.
Upon seeing the formation, Liang’s eyes narrowed, a glimmer of doubt shining through his usually composed expression.

"Senior, don’t you trust me?" He smiled and said, his voice tinged with a hint of disappointment.
Revenant Xuan let out a derisive laugh, dismissing the notion. "There’s no such thing as trust in the cultivation world."
With a swift motion, Revenant Xuan activated the formation, causing an ethereal contract paper to materialize in the center. The paper held the weight of their agreement and the terms they were about to forge.
Looking at the contract, Revenant Xuan smiled. "Upon signing the contract, then we can trust each other."
Liang smiled in response, his eyes glinting with amusement as he stepped forward and confidently entered the formation, Senior Xuan following suit.
"Brat, I advise you not to try anything funny," Senior Xuan warned, his voice carrying caution and a veiled threat. "In the end, I was the one who taught you the formation and runes dao."
Liang shook his head, his expression displaying calm resolve. He carefully examined the contract paper with his void sense, scrutinizing its intricate details. After a moment of contemplation, a sigh escaped his lips. "Senior is really cautious. There’s no need for all these terms," he murmured, his voice tinged with a mixture of admiration and disappointment.
"Are you going to sign or not?" Revenant Xuan asked impatiently.
Liang smiled in response to Senior Xuan’s impatience, seemingly undeterred. With deliberate intention, he dropped a single drop of his blood essence on the contract paper.
Senior Xuan followed suit, adding his own blood essence to the contract, solidifying their agreement.
The contract paper absorbed their blood essences, causing it to shimmer with a faint red glow. As the ethereal ink on the paper rearranged itself, intricate patterns and runes formed, sealing their agreement in a powerful mystical bond.
Satisfied with the contract, Revenant Xuan’s expression softened slightly. "Now we are bound by a blood contract. May this alliance bring us success."
Liang chuckled outwardly, but beneath that chuckle, he sneered Inwardly, such a blood contract would not hinder any of his plans.
"Now let’s discuss our upcoming plans," Liang said with a smile as he walked towards the Stone Tablet.
