“Ever since the Green Sky Mountain’s Grave Thunder Palace’s Palace Lord Liu and the Bright Connection Valley’s Madam Yan, your master is the third Human Exalt to push open the Immortal Door.” Meng Wan smiled.
Ever since the Aged Gold, Earth, and Water Devils’ chaos, Yan Zhaoge wreaked havoc in the Immortal Court, and the Immortal Slaughtering and Immortal Trapping Swords returned to the Three Clear Lineage, while the Awakened Sky Cosmos never lost contact with the outside world, it had entered a rather stable stage of development.
In the past fifty years, the Sky beyond Skies had its fair share of ups and downs, joys and sorrows.
Of course, the most attention-grabbing was the emergence of top-notch experts.
Especially the experts who had ascended to the Immortal Realm and pushed open the Immortal Door.
The first one to take this step was the World beyond Worlds’ Northeastern Exalt, the Green Sky Mountain’s Grave Thunder Palace’s Palace Lord, Liu Zhenggu.
Currently, the Green Sky Mountain’s Grave Thunder Palace was also a top-notch force in the North Continent.
Palace Lord Liu Zhenggu was the oldest Exalt Martial Saint in the World beyond Worlds. In terms of age, only the Earth Exalt – Wang Zhengcheng was older than him among the World beyond Worlds’ Ten Exalts.
In terms of age, Liu Zhenggu was already nearing the end of his lifespan. After all, a Martial Saint with a lifespan like Wang Zhengcheng was a rare exception.
Especially since the Grave Thunder Palace’s lineage’s martial arts were ferocious and violent. On the other hand, it was easy to break. Liu Zhenggu’s natural lifespan was actually slightly shorter than ordinary Exalt Martial Saints.
Only, Liu Zhenggu’s old age made him more experienced. He was always domineering and energetic, which made others forget about his age.
However, this old man was nearing the end of his lifespan. It was an undeniable fact.
If he couldn’t break through, then the day he died of old age was not far away. It would be within the next hundred years.
Compared to an Immortal Realm expert, a Martial Saint or even an Exalt Martial Saint’s lifespan seemed frail.
Most of the time, not only was there a difference in strength, but there was also a huge difference in lifespan.
However, after leaving the World beyond Worlds, Liu Zhenggu had been cultivating quietly.
The Green Sky Mountain’s Grave Thunder Palace, Remote Cloud Mountain’s Clear Light Locale, and Bright Connection Valley were all descendants of the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor’s lineage. With Yan Zhaoge and Xue Chuqing’s help, they were able to communicate with each other.
After leaving the Dao universe and entering the Awakened Sky Cosmos, the safety and secrecy of the Sky beyond Heaven had increased. Not only that, but the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor had also established some connections with the Sky beyond Heaven.
Although the opportunities were limited, a few words of advice from the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor was already extremely valuable to a Martial Sage.
Thus, the bottleneck that Liu Zhenggu had been stuck in for many years finally loosened.
This veteran Exalted Martial Saint had happily taken the final step, pushed open the Immortal Door, and ascended to the Leakless True Immortal Realm.
On the other hand, Yan Zhaoge’s mother, Xue Chuqing, had also successfully ascended to the Immortal Realm in recent years.
Compared to Liu Zhenggu, Xue Chuqing was naturally much younger.
Her talent in the martial dao had been top-notch in the first place. Roaming the Eight Extremities World that year, she and Yan Di had both won and lost, just that she was slightly inferior to him. Still, she had surpassed Fang Zhun and the others.
While the true intent of Yan Di’s Creation Sabre had yet to manifest at that time, Xue Chuqing’s great talent in the martial dao could already be seen.
However, she had a wide range of hobbies, and most of her energy was divided between array techniques and other miscellaneous knowledge.
In her previous life, nine and a half out of ten years, she would be wandering from place to place, hiding from place to place, and living a life of concealment. The resources she had were also relatively scarce.
As such, Xue Chuqing’s martial arts cultivation was actually delayed by objective conditions, which had buried her talent to a large extent.
In fact, it might even affect her ultimate achievements.
Even so, after the environment had stabilized, and resources were abundant once again, Xue Chuqing focused on martial arts cultivation, and immediately shone with astonishing brilliance.
Back when the Roving Jade Heavens had entered the Pill Hall, when the Awakened Sky Cosmos had just been established, and when the Sky beyond Heavens was stabilized, Xue Chuqing had already attained the Human Exalt Realm in merely twenty years after leaving the World beyond Worlds.
After years of accumulation, she had finally passed the Immortal Mortal Tribulation and attained the Leakless True Immortal Body.
Previously, when Liu Zhenggu and Xue Chuqing pushed open the Immortal Door, it was a grand event in the Sky beyond Skies.
Now that Golden Court Mountain’s Cao Jie had also successfully taken this step, naturally, everyone would congratulate him.
“Speaking of which, my master could successfully take this step, just like Grave Thunder Palace’s Palace Lord Liu, he had also benefited from the environment of the Sky beyond Skies,” said Tang Yonghao softly as he looked at Meng Wan.
Meng Wan’s expression remained unchanged, and she nodded, “I’ve heard my father mentioning it before.”
Tang Yonghao understood.
Meng Wan’s father was a True Immortal of the Grand Clear lineage, the Brocade Emperor – Fu Yunchi.
All these years, Ingenious Flying Peak’s Red Lotus Cliff lineage, Broad Creed Mountain’s Yan Zhaoge, and Golden Court Mountain’s Cao Jie, who was also of the Grand Clear lineage, had frequently interacted with each other.
Between the three lineages, they had deep exchanges regarding the discovery and recovery of the Grand Clear lineage’s supreme martial arts.
As for Fu Yunchi himself, due to being schemed against by the Immortal Court heretics, he was also attacked by the World beyond Worlds’ Concealed Sovereign – Yang Ce, or the Exalted Solar Luminary – Gao Han. As a result, he had suffered a tribulation.
Currently, the battle between the Black and White Brocade Emperors had already been decided. However, if Fu Yunchi wanted to return to the right track and continue advancing, he still had to plan.
With Yan Zhaoge’s help in this aspect, the situation was getting better and better.
Meng Wan roughly understood the situation. At the same time, she knew that Golden Court Mountain’s lineage had also benefited from it.
Cao Jie and Golden Court Mountain’s lineage’s foundation originated from the Purple Tenuity Emperor’s Heavenly Circuit Righteous Art and Three Enclosures Emperor Sword. It was a sword dao derived from one of the Grand Clear Later Heaven Five Ultimates – the Great Heavenly Circuit Righteous Art.
As a sword art, it was outstanding, and could almost challenge the Numinous Treasure Four Swords.
It was just that Golden Court Mountain’s Three Enclosures Emperor Sword was incomplete.
With Yan Zhaoge and Fu Yunchi’s help, Golden Court Mountain had been trying to restore the Three Enclosures Emperor Sword all these years while simultaneously reversing the Great Heavenly Circuit Righteous Art.
While the Great Heavenly Circuit Righteous Art was not stronger than the Three Enclosures Emperor Sword, it was a reference that would undoubtedly be beneficial to Cao Jie’s cultivation.
It was precisely through this process that Cao Jie had benefited from, helping him to successfully break through his bottleneck like Liu Zhenggu, safely passing the Immortal Mortal Tribulation.
Meng Wan’s mind was sharp and intelligent as she already understood Tang Yonghao’s meaning, “Wutong Slope has not been doing anything special.”
Back in the World beyond Worlds that year, the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen had died to Yan Di’s sabre and Broad Creed Mountain had conquered the southern Blazing Heaven Territory after establishing their lineage in the World beyond Worlds.
The original ruler of the south, Phoenix Ritual Mountain’s Wutong Slope, had been forced to move far away.
Wutong Slope had originally intended to move to the western Turtle Heaven Territory. Still, they had not left the south in the end.
Under the leadership of their new Chief, Mao Yuansheng, Wutong Slope had lowered their heads towards Broad Creed Mountain. Broad Creed Mountain had not been ruthlessly exterminated.
Regardless of what the other party was planning, they had always kept a low profile in the following years.
The World beyond Worlds had been separated, and the entire southern Blazing Heaven Territory had been moved into the Pill Hall by Yan Zhaoge. Afterwards, it had become the Sky beyond Skies’ South Region. Wutong Slope’s lineage had also taken root here.
Mao Yuansheng had kept a low profile and was pragmatic. Under his painstaking efforts, the current Wutong Slope had shockingly shown signs of revival.
