Hearing the Harem Divine System Spirit’s words, Tian Chen couldn’t help but ask.
"Does that mean there is a possibility that there are beings stronger than my past self in those great races of the Upper Realm?"
[It may be possible indeed, after all, nothing is impossible in the path to immortality and the way of the Immortal Dao. However, you should stop thinking lowly of yourself too. An existence like yours is extremely rare in the Second Great Immortal World. Unless those illustrious existences re-emerge in the world, you were already invincible with your cultivation level.]
"Then, why did I die? What realm was I at before my death, and what is the path above the Half Immortal Realm?"
Tian Chen asked again, his voice somewhat confused.
[You were besieged by existences on the same level as yours, as I already told you before. Many of your countless women also betrayed you. However, that doesn’t matter, as you can get back to your previous cultivation level sooner or later.]
At this point, the charming voice of the Harem Divine System Spirit took on a solemn tone.
[As for the path beyond mortality, I can’t tell you that just yet. This is the suppression of the Heavenly Dao’s Providence. Immortals cannot be named or enter the Lower Realm. Just know that the Emperor is the highest existence even in the Upper Realm under those illusory legends. The Emperor’s word is the heavenly edict.
You have to either reach the Half Immortal Realm or ascend to the Upper Realm to have the right to know about the path beyond.]
Hearing these words, Tian Chen could only give up inquiring further and ignored Chu Feng’s provocations.
He looked at Qin Ninguang by his side. The reason she was so close to him was not just because she was beautiful and fit the criteria of the Harem Divine System, it was also because her False Vermillion Body had a chance of transforming into the Flaming Vermillion True Body as explained by the Harem Divine System Spirit.
She had just broken through to the Golden Core Realm some time ago.
At this point, she also looked up at him and asked, "Brother Tian, what’s the matter?"
Shaking his head with a smile, he replied, "We are about to reach the Eastern Continent. Are you ready?"
"Of course, brother Tian!"
She answered excitedly, her demeanor completely different from her past 16 year old self.
Seeing this, Chu Feng scoffed and didn’t continue further.
...
3 years later, in the Eternal Peak.
Spirit Qi surged crazily towards Tian Yongheng’s cave abode from all directions, causing torrents of Spirit Qi to form in the air, making the disciples watching nearby to exclaim once again.
This commotion had been ongoing for the last 3 years, and the disciples were already used to it by now.
Usually, groups of hundreds of disciples gathered here every day to watch this astonishing phenomenon probably caused by their Peak Master on their free time.
They also wished to reach such a level of cultivation where a single advancement or a technique reaching some accomplishment caused such a great phenomenon of heaven and earth.
All of them were watching from a distance of 10 miles from the main peak.
The area within the range of 10 miles of the main peak was off limits for the ordinary disciples, so they couldn’t go further in. Of course, their Divine Senses couldn’t too because of a special Array Formation secluding the main peak.
But most spectators were at least in the Foundation Establishment Realm, so it wasn’t difficult for their eyesight to see as far as a mile, while those in the Acquired Realm and Innate Realm could see the situation more clearly.
This wasn’t restricted, so it was naturally noisy.
Jian Qi was also standing there, with Yang Wei by his side, watching the vortexes of Spirit Qi surging towards the main peak like a torrent, unstoppable.
He sighed as he spoke slowly, "Master’s cultivation is truly profound. I wonder what he’s doing to cause such a commotion."
In the current Eternal Peak, everyone knew that not just breakthroughs could cause heaven and earth phenomena, but also the cultivation of various Immortal Arts, Providence techniques, karmic powers etcetera could also cause such phenomena.
Due to the fact that Tian Yongheng’s clone had always been preaching and guiding the Personal Disciples, even though Tian Yongheng himself was in seclusion, Jian Qi never felt distant with him.
Ordinary disciples didn’t know that it was just a clone, and whenever the clone preached the Dao, they would think that the Peak Master was a great Immortal who could preach the Dao even while cultivating.
Of course, this only applied to those newly recruited disciples who did not have much knowledge about the cultivation world.
Those veteran disciples still guessed that it may have been a clone or something similar.
"Peak Master has always been a mysterious and unfathomable existence. No one can guess what he’s doing. That aside, how long do you think it will take for you to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm?"
Yang Wei asked, his lips curving up into a small smile.
He had taught Jian Qi since the latter was young, and treated him like a younger brother.
Now, Jian Qi was already at the Eighth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm, and had a chance of entering the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of 50.
"It will take me 5 or so years to reach the Ninth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm. Foundation Establishment Realm is still a bit far, but I guess I can reach it in the next 20 years."
Jian Qi replied, a hint of pride in his voice.
Reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm at such a young age was a peerless talent.
If he could achieve the Acquired Realm before 200 years of age, that would be even more wonderful.
Yang Wei couldn’t help but sigh before saying, "As expected of the fated Sword Immortal as they call you. It won’t be difficult for you to achieve the Golden Core Realm before 500 years of age. It may even be earlier than that considering that the Spirit Qi of the Eternal Peak’s Dao Field increases every time the Peak Master breakthroughs."
He sighed because his cultivation had already started to slow down, and it was entirely possible for Jian Qi to surpass him in the future with the Peak Master’s guidance.
He also wanted to become a Personal Disciple!
Not just him, even Zhou Yi wanted to become a Personal Disciple of the Master of Eternal Peak!
Unfortunately, they couldn’t force it and only wait till the Master of Eternal Peak took notice of them.
In reality, they didn’t know that Tian Yongheng had taken notice of them a long time ago and had not accepted Yang Wei because he felt that his cultivation wasn’t enough to monitor Zhou Yi.
Now that he was about to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm, he naturally had the thought of accepting Yang Wei as a disciple.
At this point, Jian Qi turned to look at a certain direction, where two people could be seen floating in the air cross-legged.
They were Zhao Ye, the Turquoise Lake Swordmaster, and his only disciple, Sun Hao.
They had arrived here a few years ago and had been waiting for Tian Yongheng to come out of seclusion to meet him.
Seeing them, Jian Qi felt a strong fighting spirit arose from within him.
He was also a Sword Cultivator and was walking on the path of the Sword Dao. Meeting 2 people who were higher than him in the Sword Dao was naturally stimulating for him.
Zhao Ye naturally felt his gaze, but he ignored him, and so did Sun Hao.
Zhao Ye was indeed shocked to discover that Jian Qi was not even 50 years old yet and already very close to the Foundation Establishment Realm, but that was only when he first learned of him.
Right now, he was here in the Eternal Peak to discuss some important matters with the Master of Eternal Peak.
Sun Hao had just tagged along with him.
At the same time, in Tian Yongheng’s cave abode.
After 3 years, his golden core was spinning so fast that it didn’t even seem like spinning.
His Spiritual Energy refined from the constantly absorbed Spirit Qi was being poured into the golden core frantically, and it’s glow had brightened by many times.
At the same time, his Sea of Consciousness was constantly expanding since 3 years, and showed no signs of stopping.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
His entire being sublimated as another period of time passed by.
Finally, the golden core let out a sound as cracks appeared on its surface.
*Crack!*
The golden core slowly opened up as a golden light emerged from within, illuminating the dark space of the Sea of Consciousness.
As the golden light slowly subsided, a small figure identical to Tian Yongheng emerged from within. It did not have a physical form, and it’s illusory form was completely golden.
It flew out of the cracked golden core, which slowly turned into Spiritual Energy that rushed towards the golden figure before being absorbed by it as it sat in a lotus position, floating above the Sea of Consciousness.
The turmoil finally calmed down, and everything turned to silence.
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.]
