The reason why Tian Yongheng thought that was simple, it was because even after death, Pei Shuanzhen had been directly reincarnated into a cultivation family and didn’t have to struggle in the mortal world, even though it was only a family at the bottom of the cultivation world.
His starting point in his new life was far better than many others, which could be attributed to his Providence and karma.
Now, it all depended on whether he would be able to survive till he recovered his past life memories and came to look for Tian Yongheng for breaking the Immortal Isolation Curse.
As he continued watching, Tian Yongheng learned of a few interesting things about the world where Pei Shuanzhen had been reincarnated.
The most interesting of them all was the fact that the known cultivation realms in this world were only up till the Void Refinement Realm, which was considered the highest realm in the world.
Tian Yongheng guessed from this that either Pei Shuanzhen was reborn in a very remote area of a Great Mortal World in the Lower Realm or perhaps somewhere in the Myriad Worlds.
He believed that it should be the latter, as even though cultivators from remote areas in the Second Great Mortal World didn’t know the names of higher realms, they knew that there were further higher realms at the very least, but in Pei Shuanzhen’s case, everyone he had come into contact with in this life thought that Void Refinement Realm was the highest realm in the world, and there was immortality after it.
Which obviously wasn’t the truth, of course.
But one could indeed survive without oxygen relying only on Spirit Qi after attaining the Void Refinement Realm.
This was the reason why Tian Yongheng thought that Pei Shuanzhen must be in a small world in the Myriad Worlds.
After watching for a while, he lost interest and put the Celestial Orb of Heaven and Earth aside.
He then closed his eyes and took on a meditative stance as he tried to read and comprehend the Heavenly Questions, which he had obtained as a reward quite some time ago.
It was stated in its description that understanding all the 172 Heavenly Questions can allow one to ascend to immortality, cut off their karma and Providence with the Human Race and become a True Immortal.
Apparently, the classification of a True Immortal wasn’t tied to a title or a certain realm, but it was actually a group of some sort.
Tian Yongheng could discern that much, remembering that True Dragons are the highest of the Dragons, then True Immortals must be similar as well.
Perhaps True Immortals have some advantages over Humans. Nonetheless, I still wish to pursue this path and become a True Immortal.
But before ascending, I should still gather information about the True Immortals.
It was stated in the Truth Endeavoring Arhat’s information that he was the grand disciple of a True Immortal, which means the major factions should be aware of such beings residing in the Upper Realm.
It seems I should pay a visit to one of these major factions soon. But I have to become at least a Human Immortal and be invincible before going.
A major faction in itself is not to be underestimated. Even if I possess the ability to kill Human Immortals, who knows how many of them are hiding in all those major faction?
What if a hidden old monster jumps me out of nowhere?
It’s better to be careful and strive to reach the Half Immortal Realm first.
As he thought of this, he began to read the Heavenly Questions, which he had not even understood a percent of when he was in the Nascent Soul Realm.
It was only his speculation that he would be able to understand them after reaching the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and if he could, then his cultivation speed and Dao comprehension would be enhanced greatly.
However, what he didn’t know was that to understand even one of the 172 Heavenly Questions, a normal person had to reach at least the Immortal Ascension Realm.
It was only because of his Jade Pure Bloodline could he understand the Heavenly Questions whole being just at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
As Tian Yongheng continued to read and try to decipher the Heavenly Questions, he was pulled deep into a state of comprehension.
The Heavenly Questions were arranged in such a way that each question was more difficult to understand than the last, however, Tian Yongheng completely comprehended the first one in just a few days.
It was only when he woke up did he realize his cultivation had improved much, inching closer to the peak of the First Stage of Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
Comprehending the Heavenly Questions indeed increased cultivation speed and insights both greatly!
Without thinking further, Tian Yongheng started to comprehend the next question.
...
Central Continent, Heavenly Region.
Celestial Oracle City.
In a tall pagoda reaching up into the skies, mysterious clouds gathered above as the dense Spirit Qi filled the air, capable of instantly purifying one’s body and soul just by breathing it in.
At one of the topmost floors of the pagoda, Jiang Ruying sat with a slightly frustrated expression on her face as she rubbed her temples.
"You’re telling me you didn’t find anything, anything at all even after so long?"
She asked impatiently, looking down at a maidservant who was bowing before her.
"No, your highness. You have to be patient, as searching for such a mystical secret realm is not going to be an easy task, unless one of your Dao Protectors or other experts of at least the Nascent Soul Realm are willing to lend us a hand."
The maid spoke calmly without raising her head.
If it was any other random maid, she might have been executed on the spot for speaking in such a way to the youngest princess of the Great Jiang Immortal Dynasty.
However, this maid had been with Jiang Ruyin since young, and she had practically raised the latter. Thus, she was exempt from all typical rules and regulations by Jiang Ruyin herself and could speak to her in a casual way.
Aside from that, she was also the only Nascent Soul Realm cultivator among Jiang Ruyin’s personal servants.
Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were prideful beings, and no such cultivator would be willing to work as a servant even if it was for the princess of the strongest Immortal Dynasty in the world.
The only ones who would agree were either those who were close to the end of their lifespan and wanted an opportunity or those who were being chased by enemies.
Immortal Cultivators may value their life and a hope for immortality, but they valued their freedom as well.
"Both you and me know that I can’t just ask my Dao Protectors to run errands for me. Even if it’s for a secret realm, who would waste their time on me? To them, I’m just a youngster in the cultivation world who doesn’t know anything."
Jiang Ruyin retorted as she rolled her eyes.

Her Dao Protectors, although she didn’t know how many there were as all the Dao Protectors protected their young lords and ladies secretly, she knew that they were all Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts.
However, their only job was to protect her, and she couldn’t order them around. They only listened to her father’s words.
One had to know that her Dao Protectors weren’t servants, but some of the highest ranking figures within the Great Jiang Immortal Dynasty who were only lower than the Great Elder and above level figures of all the factions in the dynasty.
"Then your highness should give up on the search for this secret realm for now and focus on your cultivation first. Perhaps your father may believe you after you breakthrough to the Void Refinement Realm?"
The maid said as she slowly lifted her head and looked up at Jiang Ruyin.
"You don’t seem to understand! What if the great opportunity has already been taken by someone else by then?"
Jiang Ruyin said sharply, snorting in a low voice.
The so called secret realm she was talking about was actually the inheritance of the Founding Empress of the Great Jiang Immortal Dynasty, which originally belonged to the female protagonist of the novel ’Intricacies of Fate’, Yan Jingfei.
Jiang Ruyin already knew that the inheritance was in a secret realm located in the Great Abyss Mountain Range of the Heavenly Region in the Central Continent from her memories of the novel.
However, she didn’t know the exact location or a way to figure it out, which was why she had asked her servants in the past to search for this secret realm, and the results were right in front of her now.
Damn it, I thought I could obtain that inheritance before Yan Jingfei even arrives in the Central Continent, but I guess fate has its own way of messing up things.
Jiang Ruyin thought as she slightly clenched her fist.
Do I really have to wait for Yan Jingfei to come here and use her as a pawn to search for the inheritance?
