Yu Chenbing’s remnant soul returned to the Earth Spirit Realm Sub-rudder.
Soon, the Immortal guarding the gate relayed the news back to the
Sub-rudder, instantly causing shock among its members.
In the ancient hall of the Sub-rudder, many elders and the Helmsman quickly gathered!
A middle-aged man wearing a purple robe sat at the head, his face adorned with a blue beard, exuding an unfathomable aura.
On both sides sat no fewer than twenty powerful elders!
“What happened? Just earlier, all the Soul Lamps of the force led by Yu Chenbing were extinguished!”
“Only a fragment of Yu Chenbing’s soul has returned…”
“Could they have encountered some unbeatable person?”
There was a tumult of discussion among the crowd.
“Bring Yu Chenbing in.”
The middle-aged man at the head spoke indifferently.
A remnant soul then drifted in.
The middle-aged man commanded, “Speak.”
Yu Chenbing’s voice was weak, and filled with terror as he said,
“Reporting to the Helmsman, I led my men to the Xuantian Realm, where we encountered an existence that surpasses a Profound Immortal.”
“In order to deal with him, I investigated his identity…”
He then recounted the investigation results from Saint Cloud City and the set-up murder, revealing how the Ten Great Profound Immortals were killed by a single tune.
“What? The Ten Great Profound Immortals from the Immortal Domain crossed into another realm and were all killed by a single tune? How is this possible!”
“The realms Yu Chenbing and the others are responsible for are all ‘Mysterious Character’ Realms of the Lower World, where the highest existences are Profound Immortals. How could such a person appear?”
“…Could there have been a Heavenly Immortal hiding there? But even a Heavenly Immortal level powerhouse couldn’t easily kill the Ten Great Profound Immortals…”
Inside the great hall, all the elders were extremely shocked.
It must be understood, even if it’s just the most peripheral power in the Immortal Domain, it should still hold absolute superiority over a “Mysterious Character” Realm!
But the Ten Great Profound Immortals descending to a Lower World had been annihilated?
It was unimaginable.
Yu Chenbing continued, “We originally planned to seize that moment to snatch away the World Tree, turning the Xuantian Realm into barren land, but an inexplicable aura shattered the Tunxian Vessel, and we were all blown apart, our bodies destroyed. Except for me, who survived with the help of a Life-Saving Talisman bestowed by the Helmsman, all the others are thoroughly dead…”
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock!
“The Tunxian Vessel, capable of holding the World Tree and even surpassing Profound Immortal level, was shattered by an unknown aura?”
“This is too inconceivable. What on earth is hidden in that insignificant Xuantian Realm?”
“Even a Heavenly Immortal level existence shouldn’t be able to destroy the Tunxian Vessel. Doesn’t this mean that there is a very good chance… that a Golden Immortal might be hiding there?”
The crowd was astounded and filled with doubts!
This news startled them!
And the middle-aged man at the head furrowed his eyebrows at this moment!
A Golden Immortal?
No, he himself was a Golden Immortal, but he was well aware that the Tunxian Vessel was a replica of a dreadful Holy Artifact from his own sect, and even he could not destroy it!
“Xuantian Realm…”
Muttering to himself, a glint suddenly flashed in his eyes as he said, “Could this Xuantian Realm be related to that one of legend?”
At his words, everyone looked up.
“Helmsman, are you referring to the legend of the ‘Four Great Heavenly Realms’?”
An elder asked, clearly astonished.
The Helmsman nodded, “According to the ancient tales, in the endless years past, among countless Lower Worlds, there were Four Great Heavenly Realms, extremely powerful, almost capable of contending with the Immortal Domain!”
“In the First Heavenly Realm, it’s said that even an Immortal King was born there!”
“But later, the Immortal Domain struck against the Four Great Heavenly Realms… The Three Great Heavenly Realms submitted to the Immortal Domain, becoming its vassals, but the ‘First Heavenly Realm,’ because it refused to surrender, was directly shattered by the Immortal Domain into countless smaller realms…”
“It is claimed that in that battle, even the Immortal King was killed, and his body shattered along with the First Heavenly Realm…”
On hearing this, an elder voiced his confusion, “But what does this have to do with the Xuantian Realm?”
The Helmsman replied, “Beyond that, there’s another secret.”
“After the First Heavenly Realm was shattered, it created tens of thousands of smaller realms. These realms, according to their size and status, also varied in strength. However, it’s said that in order to commemorate the glory of the First Heavenly Realm, the names of these smaller realms all contain the characters ‘Heavenly Realm’.”
“To put it simply, ‘Xuan’ represents the status of the current realm, while ‘Heavenly Realm’ stems from its historical roots!”
The Helmsman concluded plainly.
In an instant, the expressions of everyone in the hall turned serious!
In the million Lower Realms, there are also distinctions of level.
Heaven, Earth, Profound, Yellow!
There are countless ‘Yellow Character’ Realms, accounting for the most in number.
‘Mysterious Character’ Realms come next, though they are also numerous.
The ‘Earth Character’ Realms are the most powerful among the Lower Worlds, and it’s within these realms that a Heavenly Immortal can be born!
And the Heavenly Realm… from ancient times to the present, there are only four!
Among them, the most glorious First Heavenly Realm was even destroyed by the Immortal Domain.
“So to speak, this Xuantian Realm, is very likely a part of the First Heavenly Realm?”
“If that’s the case, then it makes sense. The First Heavenly Realm is not to be perceived by ordinary means, a land where once an Immortal King was born…” “Who would have thought, we would actually encounter it?”
Many elders spoke up one after another, all appearing very solemn.
Any involvement with the First Heavenly Realm is sure to be no simple matter.
However, the Helmsman said, “Of course, we cannot be certain yet, after all, I too am only making an inference based on the name of this Lower World… we still need confirmation!”
His gaze swept across the crowd and fell on an elder, saying, “Elder Sangduo, you possess the space pathways, no one can detain you. I shall trouble you to make a trip and scout it out, how about it?”
Sangduo rose to his feet and immediately nodded in response, “At the Helmsman’s command!”
“I’ll set off this instant!”
Meanwhile.
In the Northern Immortal Domain.
In a remote area.
Within Saint Cloud City, the Sect of the Heavenly Soul.
All the elders from the sect had gathered in the main hall.
The elder seated with hair ten meters long, who was sitting cross-legged in the main hall, had an incredibly weak presence at this moment.
He had been badly injured!
“Sect Master, it’s terrifying… What’s hidden in that Lower World is probably way more than just a simple Ming Tianbei!”
The elder Li Luo spoke gravely.
Behind him, the numerous elders were anxious and uneasy!
This time, the Ten Great Profound Immortals who were dispatched were all sect elders!
And none survived – all were wiped out.
Moreover, the terrifying sound of the zither even crossed through the world barriers and caused a horrifying blood catastrophe within the Sect of the Heavenly Soul!
In the end, it was only stopped by Sect Master Mo Qi who personally intervened during his closed-door cultivation.
But the elderly Sect Master was also severely wounded because of it!
Sect Master Mo Qi of the Sect of the Heavenly Soul now opened his weary eyes and said, “That tune, capable of slaughtering Profound Immortals, and even Heavenly Immortals could barely suppress it, we may well be thankful that the one playing the zither is in the Lower World, which restricted his strength, otherwise… our Sect of the Heavenly Soul, and perhaps even Saint Cloud City, would face great disaster!”
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions grew even more complex.
What kind of being was hidden within the Xuantian Realm?
“Sect Master, what should we do now… With the sect severely weakened, the other powers within Saint Cloud City will probably be aware of this soon…” “And then, our situation in Saint Cloud City will become arduous!”
The Immortal Domain is equally brutal!
The law of the jungle prevails.
The Sect of the Heavenly Soul is one of the five major powers in Saint Cloud City, and if they decline, the other four major powers will surely swoop in to devour the Sect of the Heavenly Soul completely!
Mo Qi was silent, and after a long time, he suddenly spoke, “Spread the message that there’s news of Saintly Sound Celestial Monarch’s ‘Celestial Monarch’s Formation-Breaking Tune’ within the Xuantian Realm!”
Upon hearing this, all the elders were taken aback!
“Sect Master, are you implying that the person from the Lower World is actually a descendent of Saintly Sound Celestial Monarch?”
“Saintly Sound Celestial Monarch, one of the most outstanding powerhouses of the Northern Immortal Domain, attained the path of a Celestial Monarch through music, but disappeared while attempting to become an Immortal King…”
Li Luo murmured, “If there really is news of his ‘Celestial Monarch’s Formation-Breaking Tune’, the entire Northern Immortal Domain will go mad…”
Sect Master Mo Qi fell silent for a moment before sighing, “Having thought it over, apart from the rumored ‘Celestial Monarch’s Formation-Breaking Tune1, I can’t think of any other zither tune that can have such power…”
“The Lower World must truly be hiding a descendent of Saintly Sound Celestial Monarch…”
His aged eyes reflected complexity, a great opportunity was at hand, but it could also signify an impending calamity!
But now, the Sect of the Heavenly Soul had already lost the qualifications to be involved!
Li Luo’s eyes flickered with thought and suddenly spoke, “I understand the Sect Master’s intent now, once the news spreads, the other four major forces of Saint Cloud City will inevitably find it impossible to hold back and will descend to the Lower World in search of it!”
“And if they enter the Lower World, a bloody conflict will surely ensue… Our Sect of the Heavenly Soul can just profit from the fisherman’s fight and take the opportunity to recuperate and recover!”
“The four major sects will most likely suffer as a result of this and no longer pose a threat to us!”
With that revelation, all the elders present had their eyes opened in realization! “Let’s take action immediately!”
Not long after, a piece of news spread throughout Saint Cloud City.
“The Sect of the Heavenly Soul has unearthed news of Saintly Sound Celestial Monarch’s inheritance, spanning across the Lower World to compete for it, only to be heavily damaged by a tune of the zither!”
As soon as this message was released, it immediately sent shock waves throughout all the major forces of Saint Cloud City!
