A Century Sealed, Revealed to the World Again!

The might of the True God Tribulation was a hundred times more vast than the Tribulation Lightning of the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

Deep violet thunderclouds spread unceasingly, eventually covering the entire Azure State in full!

They even extended into the three neighboring states!

As the thunderclouds churned, golden divine fire patterns interwove with the lightning, illuminating the entire sky!

When the lightning fell, it was not a piercing roar, but a low, rumbling tremor imbued with the laws of the Divine Realm. Even the earth trembled faintly, and the spirit veins within the mountains resonated in unison!

Such a spectacle—let alone the cultivators of Azure State—even the experts from other states thousands of miles away looked up toward the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, their eyes filled with shock.

"Is this... a True God Tribulation?!" Within the Ten Thousand Monster Valley in eastern Azure State, the Valley Lord stared at the thunderclouds in the sky, his voice trembling. "Someone in the Wild Domain has actually broken through to the True God Realm? The last time I heard of a True God appearing was over twenty thousand years ago!"

"Who could it be? Could it be some Old Ancestor of the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect?" A rogue cultivator gathered in a town square looked up at the thunderclouds, his face full of reverence. "With such power, even a first-level True God could sweep through all the forces in the Wild Domain!"

"Not necessarily! Look—the center of the thunderclouds is in the direction of Azure State!" Someone pointed at the sky. "A hundred years ago, the Azure Cloud Sect suffered a great calamity, but they resolved it easily, and the three major forces were wiped out. Could it be that the Azure Cloud Sect has been hiding such a peerless expert?"

"If that's true, then everything makes sense!"

Discussion spread like a tide across Azure State. Major forces all sent spies to the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, hoping to uncover the identity of this mysterious powerhouse.

But Bai Ye had long set up a top-tier Concealment Array. Not even ordinary cultivators, let alone Nascent Soul Late Stage experts, could find the exact location—they could only sense the vast, oppressive pressure of the Divine Realm.

After the thunderclouds dispersed, Bai Ye returned to the Bamboo Courtyard on Night Cloud Peak to begin consolidating his cultivation at the first level of the True God Realm.

He sat cross-legged beside the Spiritual Spring, faint golden Divine Power flowing at his fingertips.

Cultivation in the True God Realm was completely different from the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

The Divine Body was immortal, the Divine Power pure. Every time he cycled the Chaos Sword Canon, he could draw upon the Divine Rule power between heaven and earth, nourishing his Divine Origin Apertures.

He found that he seemed naturally suited to the path of cultivation. Immersed in the thrill of growing power, he felt no boredom at all—instead, he increasingly savored this process of constant strengthening.

This consolidation lasted a hundred years.

Over the century, Bai Ye's cultivation steadily improved, reaching the third level of the True God Realm.

Above his Dantian, three Divine Origin Apertures shone brilliantly, continuously converting the residual Spiritual Energy in his body into pure Divine Power.

His True God Dharma Form also grew more solid, now three hundred zhang tall, clad in the Chaos Battle Armor, wielding the Dragon Slaying Sacred Sword. The Divine Rule power swirling around him could already influence the laws of heaven and earth within a hundred li radius!

However, the cultivation speed of the True God Realm was far slower than that of the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

The core reason was that the quality of spiritual energy in the Heavenly Profound Continent could no longer keep up with the needs of True God Realm cultivation.

What True God Realm cultivators required was "Divine Origin Spiritual Energy," imbued with Divine Rule power—not ordinary spiritual energy.

Even the top Saint-grade Spirit Vein in Azure State could only produce spiritual energy that barely converted into Divine Power, with extremely low efficiency.

According to the notes left by the Profound Sword Master, only the "Divine Origin Qi" of the Upper Realm could support rapid breakthroughs for True God Realm cultivators.

Fortunately, after advancing to the True God Realm, the system's daily check-in function also upgraded.

In the past, during the Tribulation Crossing Realm, daily check-ins mostly yielded Saint-grade pills and materials. Now, however, every reward was at the True God level!

For example, there were True God first-grade Divine Origin Pills, containing pure Divine Origin, usable for True God Realm cultivation.

Or Chaos Divine Crystals, which could provide Divine Origin reserves equivalent to a hundred years of bitter cultivation for a True God Realm cultivator!

All kinds of True God-grade rewards—these precisely made up for the lack of Divine Origin in the Heavenly Profound Continent, ensuring Bai Ye didn't have to worry about cultivation resources for now.

"Strange. According to the Profound Sword Master, after a True God Realm cultivator breaks through, the Heavenly Dao should send down the Heavenly Gate to guide them to ascend to the Upper Realm."

Bai Ye stopped cultivating, frowning slightly. "But I'm already at True God third level, and a hundred years have passed. Why have I never sensed any sign of the Heavenly Gate?"

He flipped through the notes left by the Profound Sword Master, double-checking repeatedly.

The notes clearly recorded that the True God Realm was the dividing line between the mortal realm and the Upper Realm. After breaking through, the Heavenly Gate would appear—no exceptions.

Yet now, a hundred years later, not only was there no Heavenly Gate, he hadn't even detected a single ripple of spatial fluctuation.

If you find this book good, to avoid losing it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf.

Bai Ye extended his Spiritual Sense, covering the entire Wild Domain.

After consulting the ancient records of various major forces, he discovered a startling fact.

The last time a True God ascended from the Wild Domain was twenty-three thousand years ago.

Since then, even if cultivators broke through to the True God Realm, no one had ever seen the Heavenly Gate descend. Those True God experts either went into hiding or vanished without a trace, their whereabouts unknown.

"It seems the Space Channel of the Heavenly Profound Continent is most likely broken." Bai Ye thought to himself. "Perhaps the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect has some related secrets."

The Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect, the top force in the Wild Domain, had dominated for over a hundred thousand years. More than ten of its ancestors had ascended to the Upper Realm, giving it an incredibly deep foundation.

If even they didn't know the reason the Heavenly Gate had closed, then probably no one in the entire Wild Domain could solve it.

"Oh well, no rush for now." Bai Ye shook his head. "With the Divine Origin resources I can get from daily check-ins, and my lifespan extended to three hundred thousand years, I have plenty of time to wait for the right moment."

While Bai Ye was immersed in cultivation, a joyful piece of news came from the Azure Cloud Sect.

Deep within the Azure Cloud Sect, a Nascent Soul Realm pressure suddenly erupted, sweeping across all Seventy-two Peaks!

That pressure was deep and stable—the unmistakable sign of a breakthrough from the peak of the Tongxuan Realm!

The sect's fifth Nascent Soul Realm expert in a century had been born!

The first to break through, the Grand Elder, was now at Nascent Soul Triple Peak, becoming the Azure Cloud Sect's visible Sea Anchor.

He stood atop the Main Peak, gazing at the thriving scene among the mountains, his eyes full of emotion: "After a hundred years of seclusion, the sect's foundation is stable. It's time to reopen the Mountain Gate!"

The four Nascent Soul Realm experts beside him nodded in unison, anticipation shining on their faces.

A century ago, the Azure Cloud Sect had been on the brink of annihilation, saved only by the intervention of that mysterious senior.

A century later, they would reopen the Mountain Gate with a lineup of five Nascent Soul Realm experts, enough to secure a foothold in Azure State and even restore the sect's former glory!

Ten days later, the Azure Cloud Sect officially announced to the world.

The century-long seclusion had ended; the Mountain Gate would reopen, inviting all powers to come and observe the ceremony!

When the news spread, Azure State was shaken!

On the day of the Mountain Opening Ceremony, the Azure Cloud Sect's Mountain Gate swung wide open, and the newly reforged Mountain Protecting Array blazed with an incomparably brilliant azure light.

At the sect's Main Peak, five Nascent Soul Old Ancestors simultaneously unleashed their pressure. Five vast auras intertwined, shrouding the eight directions, proclaiming the Azure Cloud Sect's return to all of Azure State!

Various powers sent envoys bearing congratulatory gifts.

The long-established Azure State force, the Ten Thousand Monster Valley, dispatched a Nascent Soul Early Stage Old Ancestor to lead the delegation, offering three Ninth-grade Spirit Grasses!

The Azure Water Sect presented an Earth-grade High-rank Spirit Weapon!

Even minor powers from remote prefectures prepared generous gifts, hoping to forge ties with the Azure Cloud Sect.

The most eye-catching was the envoy from Azure State's premier force—the Sky Fire Sect.

The Sky Fire Sect was not a native power of Azure State, but a subordinate sect established in the Wild Domain by the Heavenly Domain's super force, the Sky Fire Divine Sect.

This sect had dominated Azure State for ten thousand years, with over ten Nascent Soul Realm experts stationed within at all times!

There were even rumors that the sect harbored a Tribulation Crossing Realm Old Ancestor.

Yet such a colossus had now sent a Nascent Soul Middle Stage expert to lead the delegation, along with a Saint-grade pill, the "Sky Fire Pill," showing great respect to the Azure Cloud Sect.

"Is the Sky Fire Sect making such a show of respect because of that mysterious sword cultivator senior from a century ago?" some powers murmured among themselves.

"Certainly! That senior could cleave through the Nascent Soul experts of three major powers with a single sword strike—most likely a Tribulation Crossing Realm grandmaster! Even the Sky Fire Divine Sect would have to take a Tribulation Crossing Realm expert seriously!"
