Mountains and rivers shifted, and 13 years passed by in an instant.
Raindrops shimmered as they landed on the ground rhythmically, as if forming a melody while dark clouds surged in the sky, letting out shocking cries.
The rain gradually increased as the sound of raindrops falling on the ground could be heard everywhere. It was a calming sight.
Today, Tian Yongheng broke through to the Fifth Stage of Void Refinement Realm.
Watching the rain fall outside with his Divine Sense, he felt a sense of nostalgia and malencholy as he recounted his life up till now, both his past one and the current one.
Time seemed to pass very quickly from the moment he started cultivating, and he didn’t even know when more than 350 years passed by. It was the terrifying power of time that could turn even the mightiest of empires to dust and closest of relationships to strangers.
His understanding of the Dao of Time seemed to have increased.
Speaking of which, he did not have much of an experience in these more than 350 years of his life as he mostly just cultivated. He rarely went out of his cave abode in this life.
I will go out after becoming invincible and eternal. Then I will do whatever I want.
He silently thought, stabilizing his cultivation base.
He soon turned to look at the floating system screen in front of him.
[Name: Tian Yongheng]
[Race: Mortal]

[Cultivation: Fifth Stage of Void Refinement Realm.]

[Innate Talent(s): Sword Heart, Primordial Meridians and Primordial Bones.]
Finally, the Fifth Stage of Void Refinement Realm!
Looking at his lifespan and feeling the great pwer within him, he exclaimed inwardly.
Immediately, another system notification sounded in his mind as a screen popped up.
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Fifth Stage of Void Refinement Realm.]
[Obtained the Rank-7 Dharma Artifact, Golden Heavenly Silk Robe.]
[Golden Heavenly Silk Robe: Defensive Dharma Artifact. A robe made from the Golden Heavenly Silk with profound defensive restrictions within that dispells all kinds of attacks aimed at the user. It’s great Providence can also integrate into the user’s and provide various fortuitous encounters.]
A defensive Dharma Artifact!
Not bad!
After making it recognize him as it’s owner for a couple of months, Tian Yongheng directly changed into the Golden Heavenly Silk Robe, which could block all kind of attacks below the power of Tribulation Transcendence Realm without exception as it was a Rank-7 Dharma Artifact.
Nothing could hurt him below the Tribulation Transcendence Realm now!
He felt much at ease wearing it, and was even more confident about the upcoming outing, even though he would not go personally and only send his clone there.
There was not much time left for the Qingyun Dao Conference now.
He continued stabilizing his cultivation for another few months before he started cultivating all his techniques, spells, and Divine Powers to his current level.
This process took another 7 years of time.
He didn’t upgrade any of his Divine Powers further, because he needed more insights into the specific Dao the Divine Power belonged to.
He had sufficient insight of the Sword Dao, but he felt that he would not be able to handle the power of a Divine Power above the Genesis Realm at his current cultivation base, so he decided to only upgrade it after reaching at least the Nascent Soul Realm or even the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
Right now, he was getting ready to test out his strength in the Simulation Battle Trial.
I should be comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm at the very least.
He couldn’t help but think that.
After a few moments, he immediately entered the Simulation Battle Trial along with Zhao Ye as his opponent. To be more precise, 100 Zhao Ye as his opponents!
He directly won without using any spell or technique in less than 3 breaths of time.
He continued fighting and gaining battle experience till he could insta-kill all 100 Zhao Ye without using any of his skills at all.
Then, he increased the number to a thousand Zhao Ye.
As the terrifying Sword Intent of a thousand Zhao Ye erupted, even he felt somewhat shocked yet also excited.
This went on for more than a day till Tian Yongheng finally defeated ten thousand Zhao Ye in less than a single breath of time!
Truly invincible beneath the Nascent Soul Realm!
Instantly, he moved onto his next goal; the Nascent Soul Realm!
He did not have to worry about not having opponents in the higher realms, as many high level cultivators were added into his favorability meter at that time he upgraded his Divine Power to the Genesis Realm.
He could even use Human Immortals as his sparring partners.
Naturally, beings lower than them were not an exception. Even the Supreme Elder of Qingyun Sword Sect developed favorability towards him that day.
Surprisingly, the Supreme Elder of Qingyun Sword Sect is actually at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, which was far higher than Tian Yongheng’s imagination.
No wonder the Qingyun Sword Sect could continue to be the dominant force of the Qingyun Region, otherwise, more powerful forces from the State of Fengzhou could easily take over the Qingyun Region.
Even though all the other figures in the Qingyun Sword Sect were below the Nascent Soul Realm, the Supreme Elder was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, half a step away from Tribulation Transcendence Realm. No one would find trouble with them easily, even outside of Qingyun Region.
They could be called a high level force even in the State of Fengzhou.
One had to know that Zhou Yi, the grandpa in the ring of Yang Wei, was also a former peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. This was enough for anyone who was guided by him to be considered a Chosen One.
After entering the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, one could ascend to the Upper Realm directly.
This was the backbone of the Qingyun Sword Sect, the foundation of a faction that’s been established for hundreds of thousands of years!
Of course, it wasn’t worth mentioning in front of him, who brought forward a newly established faction less than 500 years old to such heights.
The Eternal Peak would probably become the world’s youngest Nascent Soul Realm power after his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm in a hundred or so years, then the youngest Tribulation Transcendence Realm and Immortal Ascension Realm faction too.
Even though he liked to be cautious and keep a low profile, Tian Yongheng had absolute confidence in his talent that he was mostly cultivating in seclusion. It was because be knew that he would attain unimaginable heights and immortality sooner or later with his great talents and Providence, as long as he cultivated in peace.
Soon, he entered the virtual battle with a cultivator in the early stages of Nascent Soul Realm, who had a favorable impression of him, probably because of the Genesis Divine Power.
From his description, he was from the Seven Star Sword Sect, and was a Core Disciple there.
The threshold of such positions was too high in these major factions. The minimum requirements for an Outer Disciple were to be in the Foundation Establishment Realm, Innate Realm for Inner Disciples, and Void Refinement Realm for Core Disciples.
People below the Foundation Establishment Realm were only qualified to be In-name Disciples.
It was simply ridiculous, but at the same time, it was also understandable as the major factions had an extremely high prestige and represented the peak of the world. So, it’s pretty reasonable for the threshold to join them to be this great.
At this moment, both sides appeared in front of eachother, and the battle began!
A day later.
Tian Yongheng managed to insta-kill the other party and gained a lot of experience in battles of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
He continued to fight against other people with higher cultivation and moved on after finding ways to insta-kill them.
He also fought against a few Personal Disciples of Great Elder level figures of various major factions.
The high ranking members of around 5 or 6 major factions knew his identity. It seemed like his reputation had indeed spread far and wide throughout the world too for so many people to know his identity.
However, his true identity as a past member of the Tian Family had not been spread yet. It was possibly because not many people knew of his name in the cultivation world, only the Qin Family and Tian Family did.
Right now, neither the Qin Family nor the Tian Family knew who the person who had comprehended the Genesis Divine Power was.
It could be said to be a blessing for him, because they would definitely investigate his background if they knew who he really was.
The other major factions who knew his name must have investigated his background too, but they probably never found anything because from what he knew, the alliance of Qin and Tian families was a secret and they should have erased all traces of it.
Thinking of all this, a hint of killing intent flashed past his eyes before disappearing, as if it was never there in the first place.
