This person was called the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night, a demonic cultivator who had achieved his position as the strongest Tribulation Transcendence Realm existence in the current world by fighting against and defeating hundreds of other peak Tribulation Transcendence Realm beings while also fighting a Immortal Ascension Realm.
Even when he couldn’t defeat the Immortal Ascension Realm mighty figure, the fact that he could survive and also destroy those hundreds of other Tribulation Transcendence Realms already made him the strongest Tribulation Transcendence Realm in the world.
His reputation is so great that even the upper echelons of the righteous path know of his fame and terrifying combat prowess, not to mention his standings in the Sword Dao.
And he is none other than the master of Wei Yusheng.
"There seems to be some trouble in the Eastern Continent. The geniuses of the current generation are suddenly all gathering there, and even those great geniuses like Monk Yellow Robed and the Unrivaled Fist God have gone there. What do you think of this?"
Suddenly, a domineering voice imbued with authority sounded from the direction of the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night.
Hearing his words, Wei Yusheng looked up and answered in a respectful tone of voice, "Master, I think the righteous path is planning something great. From the recent investigations at the Eastern Continent’s Northern Border, the major factions seems to be recalling all their disciples wandering around, while the geniuses, of course, are gathering at the Eastern Continent."
As he said this, Wei Yusheng’s eyes flickered for a moment, unnoticed by the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night.
"Hmm, very well. Wei Yusheng, I want you to go to the Eastern Continent once again and bring back all the relative information. However, you are not allowed to fail like last time."
By the last sentence, the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night’s tone of voice turned inexplicably cold and menacing, as if he was warning Wei Yusheng to not pull any tricks.
Wei Yusheng couldn’t help but shiver slightly at these words as he nodded and spoke, "I will make sure to meet your expectations this time, master."
He was extremely afraid of the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night because he knew how terrifying this personage before him was.
He was by far one of the cruelest demonic cultivators Wei Yusheng had ever encountered.
He once killed another Tribulation Transcendence Realm demonic cultivator just over a small disagreement and devoured his flesh and blood, while he threw that demonic cultivator’s soul into the depths of the Pristine Waters, where it’s said that there’s a secret rule not even souls of those below the Immortal Ascension Realm can escape.
This is the reason why all beings below the Immortal Ascension Realm prefer using flying ships or boats to travel across the Pristine Waters.
"If things there are too serious, I might have to join in myself."
As he said this, Wei Yusheng could imagine the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night’s grin without even seeing his face.
"Then I’ll see how great the supreme geniuses of the righteous path’s current generation truly are."
Saying this with a light laugh, the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night disappeared without a trace, leaving Wei Yusheng contemplating.
This is bad...if master goes to the Eastern Continent and wrecks havoc, there’s a high chance that other high ranking figures of the righteous path and the demonic path and Demon Race will get involved as well.
That situation won’t be optimal for the Master of Eternal Peak then...unless his strength is already beyond that of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
He shook his head and threw all these thoughts to the back of his mind, deciding to focus on the situation at hand.
I’ll have to contact him soon to inform him of this and arrange a meeting in advance.
Thinking of this, Wei Yusheng also disappeared into thin air, the large hall turning empty and cold.
...
8 years later.
A shocking piece of news spread throughout the Eastern Continent.
The Sixth Elder of the Grand Sun Sect and the son of the Great Yang Venerable had severed all ties with the Grand Sun Sect following the death of his son, and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day!
The Grand Sun Sect, being one of the only two major factions in the Eastern Continent, wasn’t a power that could be overlooked in any way, and such, all matters related to it spread throughout the entire continent pretty quickly.
Specially considering that this matter was related to the Great Yang Venerable, a top mighty figure of the Grand Sun Sect and a Half Immortal as well.
Even if it wasn’t related to him, each and every Great Elder level figure in all major factions were supreme experts in the outside world who were well known.
A Grea Elder cutting off all ties with a major faction was certainly a big event, and that too at such a critical point in time when the righteous path was on the brink of having an all out war with the demonic path and the Demon Race.
Many people would speculate things from this aspect and be afraid that if someone of that level betrayed the righteous path, it would certainly not be good.
However, all the baseless rumors quickly disappeared with the influence of the Great Yang Venerable, making the Eastern Continent as stable as before, at least on the surface level.
Meanwhile, in the Eternal Peak.
In Tian Yongheng’s cave abode.

He slowly stabilized his cultivation as he stared at his status panel before him.
[Name: Tian Yongheng]
[Race: Mortal]
[Lifespan: 563/122,091]
[Cultivation: Third Stage of Tribulation Transcendence Realm.]
[Constitution: Five-Elemental Divine Spiritual Physique.]
[Bloodline: Jade Pure Bloodline (Descendant of the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning).]
[Innate Talent(s): Sword Heart, Primordial Meridians and Primordial Bones.]
He was satisfied with the increase in lifespan this time as well.
That number would only go up as he cultivated, which was why a hundred thousand years of lifespan wasn’t as impressive to his mentality after reaching the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
He had comprehended another 11 Heavenly Questions this time, and was now planning to comprehend the Heavenly Questions while also using the Immortal Spirit Stone at the same time for further cultivation.
However, feeling a bit bored after cultivating continously for multiple decades, he took out the Celestial Orb of Heaven and Earth and began to watch what was happening in Tian Hai’s life.
Surprisingly, he hadn’t died yet in his current life and had even come into contact with Immortal Cultivators once.
Although they were only at the later levels of Acupoint Opening Stage, their strength was still far superior to the Martial Artists in the world where Tian Hai was.
Although he had not learned any cultivation technique, he had befriended a cultivator at the Ninth Level of Acupoint Opening Stage, who gave him quite some good stuff for protection.
As Tian Yongheng watched, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
I can travel to anywhere I have left a Dao Mark through the Enigmatic Godly Stele, does that mean I can travel to people who I have placed a Dao Mark on as well?
This could very well be possible.
He subconsciously asked the system as a notification appeared in front of him.
[The Dao Mark transport through the Enigmatic Godly Stele only works when the Dao Mark is placed on a certain place, not a being. However, the host can contact the people who he has placed a Dao Mark on as long as the host’s existence is great enough to go into that world.]
Reading the system’s explanation, Tian Yongheng was slightly disappointed.
So, it means I can only contact them if I’m powerful enough to directly enter their world, huh?
Sounds fair.
He thought before shifting his attention back to the Celestial Orb of Heaven and Earth.
His eyes darted to his clone sitting besides him. It had already finished upgrading the Primal Dao Sword to a Rank-9 Dharma Artifact some time ago.
Tian Yongheng took the Primal Dao Sword from the clone and felt the great power of Primordial Qi surging within.
The Primal Dao Sword was a great treasure forged with Primordial Qi, as said in its description by the system.
Tian Yongheng still don’t know how powerful the true abilities of the Primordial Qi were, but he guessed they must be impressive, at least on the same level as that of Immortal Qi that Immortal Gods used.
After playing with it for a while, he put it back into the system space and started to observe Pei Shuanzhen’s reincarnation through the Celestial Orb of Heaven and Earth.
Unexpectedly, he had been severely injured by a demonic cultivator and his cultivation had been destroyed, formerly at the Qi Condensation Realm, now just a mortal with no cultivation at all.
He lived in isolation all day long and never came out of his house.
Tian Yongheng couldn’t help but sigh at Pei Shuanzhen’s fate.
Who knew a former Immortal Ascension Realm mighty figure and a genius of the Upper Realm would fall to such a state?
