The reason why the man was talking in such a weird way was because he found it absurd how a faction that had appeared for less than 500 years had already reached such a huge scale.
Cases where hidden experts suddenly emerged from around the world were not rare, even those Tribulation Transcendence Realm such experts were not all that great in the eyes of the major factions.
In this case, the Eternal Peak wasn’t all that great in front of them.
However, they had to consider about anything related to the Eternal Peak because of the fact that the Master of Eternal Peak was speculated to be the reincarnation of an ancient mighty figure.
There was a high chance that he was an Immortal God who had fallen to the mortal world.

Even with the long heritage of major factions, they had to weigh all the pros and cons of offending such a almighty powerhouse.
After all, their Immortal God ancestors could not come down to the mortal world for various reasons.
A reincarnated Immortal God would have many trump cards that were not to be underestimated.
There was a high chance that a major faction may get wiped out because of this small risk.
This was one of the reasons why no one found trouble with the Eternal Peak after its fame spread throughout the Second Great Mortal World.
All those who were eyeing the person who had comprehended the Genesis Divine Power also quickly shut down after knowing of this fact.
It wasn’t unusual for a reincarnated Immortal God to comprehend a Genesis Divine Power.
Hearing the man’s explanation, the red clad old man was slightly moved, but he didn’t say anything.
The man then continued further, "Recently, that same disciple who killed the young master came out of the Eternal Peak after reaching the Golden Core Realm and participated in the ongoing Righteous-Demonic War, representing the Eternal Peak. His cultivation speed is actually so absurd, it’s no wonder that the Master of Eternal Peak must cherish him alot.
If we want to do anything to him, we will undoubtedly offend the Master of Eternal Peak.
Master, please think twice before making any move. Otherwise, I’m afraid the Grand Sun Sect won’t we able to bear the consequences, specially since the Six Great Demonic Factions have shown signs of reviving, with the Evil Calamity Hall members even having come into contact with our Grand Sun Sect. Also, the State of Feng is engulfed in the flames of war against the demonic path too.
What will the world think of the Grand Sun Sect if you challenge the Master of Eternal Peak at such a critical moment? Won’t you be considered a traitor of the righteous path?"
The man’s tone of voice was inexplicably solemn.
Hearing his words, the red clad old man remained silent for a long time before speaking slowly, "My lifespan is coming to an end. I have no hopes of achieving the Half Immortal Realm, and I can’t ascend either due to the karmic curse placed upon my soul from my previous life. It is not an exaggeration to say that I wasn’t destined for immortality."
By the end, the old man’s voice stiffened as he smiled bitterly.
"Master..."
"There’s no need to comfort me. I’ve already experienced so much that I can see the reality now. In my past life, I was one of the most promising geniuses of the Upper Realm’s Grand Sun Sect branch, with a great Connate Providence that held the destiny of a great Immortal, aloof and cold, who thought there was no one who could rival me.
I might have been one of the few pillars of our Grand Sun Sect had my destiny not been robbed off by a young master of the Heavenly Yang Family.
Even a karmic curse was placed upon my soul by the Dao Protector of that young master, who was a powerful Immortal himself. I, who was only at the Immortal Ascension Realm at that time, had no way of resisting the curse.
Even the Immortal elders and the Sect Master of the Upper Realm’s Grand Sun Sect were unable to undo it, and I decided to meditate till the end of my remaining lifespan in a Array Formation which could offset the curse.
In the end, as my lifespan slowly died out, I reincarnated into the Lower Realm as the only son of a Supreme Elder of the Lower Realm’s Grand Sun Sect. Perhaps my fate had always been entwined with the Grand Sun Sect. Even though I decided to get a Dao Companion this time round and have children, even this path remained futile, with both my children and her dying.
There isn’t anything left for me to pursue in life. I will leave the Grand Sun Sect and cut off all ties with it so as to not implicate it with my actions."
As he continued listen to the old man, the other man’s eyes widened in shock as he spoke hastily, "Master, there is no way you can win against the Master of Eternal Peak. Despite knowing this, you’re still marching towards your own demise. Do you really think the mistress would want this if she was here?
Most importantly, will the Great Yang Venerable let you leave the sect and do as you please so easily?"
Hearing this, the old man flinched slightly before letting out a deep sigh. This sigh was filled with guilt and regret, a regret of two lifetimes that he could do nothing about.
Gradually, his eyes filled with determination and desolation.
"I shall talk with my father about this and leave within a few decades, lest the Master of Eternal Peak becomes even stronger. I won’t back down. The Immortal Dao is already a dead end for me. Even if I die facing that existence, it would be considered a death which will leave my name in the history books for generations to come. It is far better than dying sitting in meditation, engulfed by regret.
Maybe I will be able to unite with her sooner this way in samsara."
As soon as he said this, the old man stood up abruptly, Yang Spiritual Energy surrounding him.
"Take care of this peak till I’m away. It will belong to you in the future anyways."
With that, he disappeared in an instant as a streak of flames surged towards a certain direction in the sky.
The man also stood up and looked up at the horizon in a daze, letting out a deep sigh at being unable to convince his master.
"Perhaps it is indeed as master says. Fate cannot be overturned, the Heavenly Dao cannot be challenged."
...
A month later.
Eternal Peak.
Tian Yongheng was contemplating whether to accept the bonus reward and comprehend the Dao of Diligence right now or not.
He chose the latter and started to skim through his system mails which had accumulated quite a bit since the past few decades.
He needed to understand what was going on in the outside world so he could enter seclusion without any worries.
Otherwise, if some major event happened and he was cultivating completely unaware, it would cause a disaster.
With this mentality, he checked the system mails one after another.
The mental state of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was unfathomable, not to mention Tian Yongheng, who was already almost comparable to the Immortal Ascension Realm.
It didn’t take any mental toll on him to read hundreds of mails in a few seconds.

So chaotic!
Tian Yongheng couldn’t help but think excitedly.
Many people were attacked, and many obtained great opportunities. This war was a calamity for some and a huge opportunity for others.
He also wanted to go out and join in the fun, but he couldn’t afford to do so.
He still believed that he was too weak and could be killed with a slap by a powerful being.
However, as he was thinking of this, his gaze landed on a few noticeable mails.
