Yuan's Ascension

Chapter 389: Eternal Sun Immortal World (1)

For five years, Wu Yuan had devoted himself to cultivating in seclusion. Although a part of his body refiner self diverted some attention to the affairs of the Middle Land, ninety-nine percent of his mental capacity was still dedicated to cultivation.

All this time, he had been waiting eagerly for any news from his master.

High Immortal Nan Yin had said it would take some time, but it had taken a full five years. Throughout this period, Wu Yuan didn’t dare to pester him with more questions.

Heavenly Dragon City, in the Dragon Star Immortal Voidrealm.

A vast mansion, a hundred li in length and width, stood amidst the incomparably beautiful scenery, which was even more breathtaking than reality.

In contrast to reality, where the four seasons changed, the climate within the voidrealm was perpetually as pleasant as spring.

Whoosh! Clad in a black robe, Wu Yuan appeared out of thin air in the middle of the mansion.

Scanning his surroundings, he muttered under his breath, "So, this is Master's mansion in the Heavenly Dragon City?"

This was Wu Yuan's first visit to Heavenly Dragon City.

As a disciple of High Immortal Nan Yin, he was granted the privilege of entering the Heavenly Dragon City. However, his access was limited only to his master's residence.

"My disciple, come over here." A gentle voice echoed from a distant, massive hall.

Whoosh! In an instant, Wu Yuan flew into the hall. The hall was extremely rugged in style and simply decorated. Furnishings were nearly non-existent.

It's similar to Master’s residence on Dragon Star. Has Master lived like this for hundreds of thousands of years?

Such a rustic feel without any care for appearances. He is a true ascetic. No wonder Master became a Sixth-Tribulation High Immortal. Wu Yuan thought quietly.

These past five years, with his status as a ‘nominal disciple of an Archimmortal’, his perspective had broadened. Thus, he understood the power of a Sixth-Tribulation High Immortal well.

Among High Immortals, less than one in a hundred could survive their sixth Immortal Tribulation.

Some died while on expeditions, but a majority of High Immortals perished under the recurring onslaught of Immortal Tribulations.

Immortal Tribulations were far from easy to overcome, each one a heavy ordeal.

Of course, compared to the Eighth-Tribulation High Immortal Dong Yang, his master was indeed much weaker.

"Master." Wu Yuan bowed respectfully.

"You’re here, sit." Even in the voidrealm, High Immortal Nan Yin still kept up his disheveled appearance, with his signature row of yellow teeth revealed each time he grinned.

Wu Yuan sat down.

In terms of soul strength, he was weaker than High Immortal Nan Yin. Yet, just sitting there, he was like a mountain, exuding an unshakeable aura.

Compared to five years ago, Wu Yuan's aura had grown more restrained and profound.

This was a reflection of his deeper understanding of the Celestial Body Dao, which subtly coincided with Wu Yuan's temperament and character — he could act boldly and go wild when necessary, but for the most part, he remained inconspicuous and exercised caution.

"Li Xia, this is your first time at my residence in Heavenly Dragon City, right?" High Immortal Nan Yin asked with a grin.

He had never accepted a disciple before Wu Yuan. In terms of both talent and character, he was greatly satisfied with Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan was like a sharp divine sword kept in its scabbard, steady without losing its sharpness.

"Yes." Wu Yuan nodded.

"How do you find it?"

"It’s huge! Enormous." Wu Yuan said without hesitation.

Things were different compared to five years ago.

For five years straight, Wu Yuan maintained regular communication with his master. High Immortal Nan Yin also took good care of him, providing comprehensive guidance and mentorship, akin to a father.

And as such, the bond between master and disciple was extraordinarily strong. This was why Wu Yuan felt at ease in front of his master.

"Haha," High Immortal Nan Yin laughed, "Alright. First, update me on your body refiner self’s situation over these past five years."

"Yes." Wu Yuan nodded and began, "Since the spiritual tide began eight years ago, spiritual qi has become increasingly abundant... Now, the Spiritless Region that once isolated Middle Land has completely disappeared. It's likely that pathways to other regions of the Summerpeak World have been opened."

"But I didn't dare act rashly. I simply sent some Qi Sea immortal cultivators to scout these unexplored regions, hoping to gather some information about them," Wu Yuan quickly explained.

"Hmm, it’s good that you didn't do anything foolish," High Immortal Nan Yin nodded in approval. "Listen carefully to what I'm about to say, and don’t panic."

Wu Yuan felt a sudden tightness in his chest. Was something wrong?

"Over the past five years, I've tried numerous methods to obtain information on the worldlets in the Redmoon Immortal Continent from the Redmoon Immortal Hall. I narrowed my search to those present a hundred thousand years ago," High Immortal Nan Yin said, "There were more than hundreds of thousands of worldlets to sieve through."

Wu Yuan gasped in surprise.

It sounded simple, but it likely wasn't that easy. These worldlet were territories of various major factions. Who would willingly share them?

"But none of them were a match," High Immortal Nan Yin continued. "In the end, I contacted a friend of mine who is an immortal residing in the Eternal Sun Immortal World, and only then was I able to find information on the Summerpeak World from the immortal world's data bank.”

"Eternal Sun Immortal World?" Wu Yuan was shocked, "Master, you have friends in the immortal world?"

"What, you're looking down on your master?" High Immortal Nan Yin glared at him. "Just so you know, I've been around for hundreds of thousands of years. Although I've never ventured beyond the macrocosm, I've roamed the numerous immortal worlds within it and even some ruined realms. Naturally, I've made quite a few friends."

"Yes, yes, you're amazing," Wu Yuan hurriedly replied, giving a smile of flattery.

However, his heart was still pounding. The Eternal Sun Immortal World!

After becoming High Immortal Nan Yin's disciple, Wu Yuan's access rights increased, and he inadvertently stumbled upon some intelligence about the macrocosm.

The Redmoon Immortal Continent, a complete spacetime plane, was just a part of the vast Silvermist Immortal Nation.

The territory of the immortal nation was vast, encompassing countless spacetime planes and spacetimes, and was home to a myriad of mighty beings. Over the eons, countless Archimmortals were born, and life proliferated endlessly.

Yet, the Eternal Sun Immortal World was one of the cores of the entire Greenridge Macrocosm. Even a powerful entity like the Silvermist Immortal Nation was just one of the many immortal nations under the Eternal Sun Immortal World's rule.

"Master, that worldlet is related to the Eternal Sun Immortal World?" Wu Yuan was stunned and slightly confused.

The Summerpeak World, a tiny worldlet, had ties to such a far-reaching place?

"Normally, the rise and fall of a single worldlet doesn’t concern the immortal world," High Immortal Nan Yin shook his head, "Considering the vast expanse of the immortal world, which consists of billions of worlds, births and collapses of worlds are commonplace occurrences."

"Having failed to find any trace of the Summerpeak World through the Silvermist Immortal Nation's channels, I was forced to resort to this."

"However, with the help of my friend in the immortal world, I was lucky enough to find it."

"The Summerpeak World indeed belongs to my Redmoon Immortal Continent," High Immortal Nan Yin said gravely. "The only issue is, the Summerpeak World is a Bloodforge World controlled by the Bloodforge Devil Hall. It fell under their control eighty thousand years ago."

"Controlled by the Bloodforge Devil Hall? One of the three major factions of the immortal continent?" Wu Yuan's expression changed slightly.

He understood. No wonder his master told him not to panic.

The Bloodforge Devil Hall! It was one of the most powerful factions in the entire immortal continent. Was the Summerpeak World controlled by such an entity? How could he not worry?

"Wrong. The Bloodforge Devil Hall is indeed one of the top three forces on the immortal continent. But to be more precise, the Bloodforge Devil Hall here is just a Redmoon Immortal Continent division." High Immortal Nan Yin said solemnly.

"The real Bloodforge Devil Hall is a colossal entity comparable to the Eternal Sun Immortal World."

Wu Yuan's face changed.

They were that powerful? How vast is the Eternal Sun Immortal World? It controlled countless worlds, spacetime planes, and produced countless powerhouses.

The Bloodforge Devil Hall was actually this powerful? Comparable to the entire immortal world?

"You should know that we are all subordinates of the Taiyuan Divine Court." High Immortal Nan Yin said.

Wu Yuan nodded slightly.

This could be seen from the widespread propagation of Faith to the common folk in the Redmoon Immortal Continent.

"The divine court has existed for countless ages, and is a significant force in the river of time and space.”

“Whether it's the Eternal Sun Immortal World or the Bloodforge Devil Hall, they are both part of the divine court. They stand on the same side." High Immortal Nan Yin said.

"However, the two forces have different ruling schools of thought. The Eternal Sun Immortal World, along with the Redmoon Immortal Hall, generally follows the 'everyone is a dragon' ideology, which includes improving the lives of mortals, widely promoting participation in the voidrealm, spreading teachings on a large scale, and recruiting disciples among countless sects," High Immortal Nan Yin said.

Wu Yuan nodded lightly.

The so-called "everyone is a dragon" ideology could be summarized as ensuring the basic living standards for most sentient beings while casting a wide net to ensure the upward mobility of the majority.

As long as one was talented and strong enough, theoretically, one could continuously raise their status within the system of the Eternal Sun Immortal World.

"The Bloodforge Devil Hall is different. This faction practices the Asura Devil path, an extremely brutal ideology." High Immortal Nan Yin said solemnly.

"The powerhouses in this path are mostly bloodthirsty and insane."

"Killing is their way of life. Just like hell devils, countless beings under their rule engage in deadly fights, stimulating the most primitive evolutionary forces of life." High Immortal Nan Yin sighed.

"Any powerhouse who believes in the Asura Devil path has risen to their position by stepping on the bones of countless other powerhouses."

Wu Yuan's heart sank into turmoil.

"’Everyone is a dragon’ is the most gentle, while the ‘Asura Devil path’ is the most radical. As for the eldritch lineage that most agree on as the first school of thought, it is a path somewhere in the middle.”

"Disciple, I currently have no solution for this issue."

"If your world was under the control of a sect, or even the Redmoon Immortal Hall itself, I would be able to find a way," High Immortal Nan Yin shook his head. "At the very least, bringing your body refiner self out wouldn’t be an issue."

Wu Yuan listened silently.

"However, the Bloodforge Devil Hall has its own system. Their powerhouses rarely show up on the immortal continent. Unless they are venturing into other realms or spacetimes, both sides rarely encounter each other."

"And outsiders are prohibited from interfering with the Bloodforge Worlds controlled by the Bloodforge Devil Hall." High Immortal Nan Yin stated helplessly, "To gather this information about the Summerpeak World, I required the help of someone from the immortal world."

"The Redmoon Immortal Hall has no records of it, so we can't determine the specific coordinates of the Summerpeak World."

"Perhaps an Archimmortal might be able to resolve this issue by paying a massive price, but there’s nothing I can do."

"Although the immortal ancestor is an Archimmortal, he roams many spacetimes all year round, it's impossible for him to pay such a huge price for your body refiner self and your family." High Immortal Nan Yin sighed.

Wu Yuan understood.

This matter involved the Bloodforge Devil Hall. Trying to take someone away from them? It was difficult, as difficult as ascending to heaven!

At least, his master who was a Sixth-Tribulation High Immortal couldn’t do it.

More crucially, the specific spacetime coordinates of Summerpeak World were still unknown.

"You were most likely able to come to the macrocosm via the powerful teleportation array thanks to a gap in the Bloodforge Devil Hall's seal," High Immortal Nan Yin said.

"But given the power of the Bloodforge Devil Hall, the same mistake won't happen twice."

"That is why your second teleportation attempt failed," High Immortal Nan Yin shook his head. "The entire world has likely been sealed off."

Wu Yuan finally understood what he was implying.

For the time being, a reunion of his two true selves was impossible.
