An Initial Understanding of the Immortal Realm

"It was a stroke of luck, really. I never expected that Realm War would break out. Heavenly Dao was forced to release the Seven Great Fiend Demons to defend against the enemy, which gave Qiongqi an opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

Without you, my disciple, in another hundred years or so, the power of the Seven Great Fiend Demons would grow to an uncontrollable level, and Qiongqi would be able to use it to devour an entire realm and be resurrected!

As Martial Ancestor spoke, there was a hint of relief in his voice.

Yang Xuanwu nodded in realization and asked again, "Then Master spent the past month killing Qiongqi?"

"Indeed, after 60,000 years of planning, this scourge has finally been eliminated."

Unexpectedly, one wave subsided only to be followed by another. The Realm War broke out, and it was unclear whether the Qiongqi Realm could withstand it.

I have a feeling that the interface called Nine-Phoenix across from me is not simple.

It seems that Heavenly Mandate Race has emerged from among them. If this race were to unify the realms, their war-making capabilities would be such that they could defeat even two or three realms of equal strength simultaneously!

"Master seems to be very familiar with the Interface War and the Heavenly Mandate Race..." Yang Xuanwu asked tentatively.

"Realm War are rare in the Mortal Realm, but quite common in the Spirit Realm. As for the Immortal Realm, there are even more terrifying enemies... You'll understand once you Ascension!" A hint of emotion flashed in the Martial Ancestor's eyes, but then, as if remembering something, his expression turned somber, and he stopped talking about the topic.

"An even more terrifying enemy..." Yang Xuanwu murmured to himself. Seeing that the Martial Ancestor did not want to say more, he did not press further and instead turned to the topic of the Interface War.

"Then, can Master intervene and destroy some of the major forces in the Nine Phoenix Realm?"

The Martial Ancestor shook his head and explained, "Immortals and Gods are bound by heavenly rules and cannot interfere in the affairs of the mortal realm without Heavenly Edict."

This time I descended to the mortal realm without permission. After returning to the Immortal Realm, I will have to report to the Immortal Court and explain the situation.

Even so, he couldn't escape punishment.

"So, does that mean Immortals and Gods can't interfere in the affairs of the mortal realm at will? Even if their Dao Lineage is destroyed, they can't intervene?" Yang Xuanwu asked.

"Not necessarily! The Immortal Court also has its share of human sentiment. If Dao Lineage is truly on the verge of extinction, it is forgivable for someone to secretly descend to the mortal realm to protect it. At most, they will only receive some minor punishment."

However, if someone descends to the mortal realm for personal gain and seriously interferes with the operation of the mortal realm's rules, they will be captured. At best, they will be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison; at worst, they Immortal-Slaying Platform.

Furthermore, Immortals and Gods need some kind of connection to descend to the mortal realm— Karma, Destiny, objects, etc. Without such a connection, they cannot locate themselves among the countless worlds, and therefore cannot descend!

"I see!" Yang Xuanwu nodded slightly. "So, this means that even Immortals and Gods and gods White Sky Heavenly Lord of the White Sky Sect, the Old Ancestor Eastern King of the Eastern King Sect, and the First-Generation Imperial Lord of the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty can't act arbitrarily?"

"White Sky Heavenly Lord? Is this Heavenly Immortal?" Martial Ancestor's expression changed slightly as he asked.

"That's right," Yang Xuanwu replied, then asked with a hint of doubt, "How did Master know?"

The Martial Ancestor explained, "Because in the Immortal Realm, only Heavenly Immortal immortals who have transcended the Three Realms and are not bound by the Five Elements can be called Heavenly Lords."

We Earthly Immortals, and even weaker Human Immortals, are not qualified.

If you presumptuously bestow such a title upon yourself, not only will angels hold you accountable, but you'll also attract a constant stream of troublemakers!

"I see!" Yang Xuanwu nodded in understanding. "So, even in the Immortal Realm, Heavenly Immortal hold a revered status?"

"Hehe, strictly speaking, as long as one becomes an immortal, one becomes a great figure in one's own right!"

The Thirty-Three Heavens Immortal Realm is boundless and incredibly vast, yet the vast majority of its inhabitants are mortals.

However, because the Immortal Realm is rich in Spiritual Qi and has the potential to give birth to beings with extraordinary Immortal Qi, it is more likely that native beings in the Immortal Realm will be born.

Legend has it that the Victorious Fighting Buddha of the Western Heaven Buddhist Realm achieved the peak of the Heavenly Immortal in just a few decades. Now, many eons have passed, and he is already a great power at the Golden Immortal realm or above.

There was also the equally famous True Lord of Clear Origin and Sublime Dao, who was born with Half-Immortal Body (here, Half-Immortal Body does not refer to a half-step Immortal Body, but rather a kind of heaven-defying physique, so don't get confused). He was a direct descendant of Jade Clarity, and he also cultivated to the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm in just a few decades.

Compared to such a peerless figure, my sixty thousand years of wasted time have amounted to nothing more than the initial Earthly Immortal.

But I digress. The Immortal Realm is boundless and limitless. Although there are many Immortals and Gods within it, they are extremely rare when distributed across this vast and boundless Immortal Realm.

Therefore, any Immortal is a powerful being who rules over a vast territory and controls the life and death of countless mortals.

Heavenly Immortals are even more so than kings among immortals; one might not appear out of tens of thousands Heavenly Immortal Immortals, so one can imagine the status of such powerful beings.

"One in ten thousand, Heavenly Immortal is actually this powerful?" Yang Xuanwu's eyes widened. Without comparison, he truly did not know that White Sky Heavenly Lord of the White Sky Sect was so powerful.

"Hehe, Heavenly Immortal are naturally powerful, and they are also powerful figures in the Immortal Court, living freely and unrestrained."

"They can descend to the mortal realm to undergo tribulations from time to time. Even if they interfere in the affairs of the lower realm, the Immortal Court will at most ask a few questions and will not hold them accountable. Ultimately, it all comes down to strength!" Martial Ancestor sighed.

"So, if White Sky Heavenly Lord can intervene, the Interface War can end very quickly?" Yang Xuanwu asked.

"It's not that easy!" Martial Ancestor shook his head. "Heavenly Immortal travel through countless heavens, leaving behind countless Dao Lineages."

Their lifespan is endless, as long as heaven and earth, and as old as the sun and moon; it is not surprising that they can sleep for ten thousand years.

Unless you have an extremely close relationship with the Heavenly Immortal Old Ancestor, you will basically not get a response if you try to contact him.

Based on what you've said, that White Sky Sect is probably just one of the many Dao Lineages left behind by White Sky Heavenly Lord.

It's practically impossible to summon the Heavenly Lord to descend to the mortal realm.

Moreover, even if the Heavenly Lord were to descend to the mortal realm, he would not intervene in the Realm War.
