A streak of light pierced the air, tearing through layers of Primordial Chaos mist. The mist, thick as ink, churned with a murderous aura capable of destroying all things. From its depths, the roars of Chaos Ferocious Beast echoed faintly, their ferocious fangs gleaming with a chilling light, their massive claws slamming into the void, creating countless dark cracks. Within these cracks, Chaos Current surged, its violent force enough to shred ordinary Grand Luo cultivators into dust, leaving not even a trace. Yet, all this ferocity was instantly cleansed by a gentle, Origin Power the moment it touched the streak of light, leaving not a single trace behind. The roar abruptly ceased, as if it had never existed. The howling Gale Wind in his ears gradually weakened, replaced by Immortal Gale Qi Daoist aura surrounding him trembled joyfully, emitting soft hums. As the Daoist aura flowed, it subtly resonated with the Great Dao of this world, causing the surrounding immortal clouds to converge towards the flowing light. The clouds surged and churned, as if the Dragon Phoenix Phantom were circling within them.

The Dragon Phoenix Phantom surrounding Ren Xiaoyao spread their wings. The dragon scales were like carved snow, each reflecting Glazed Ice luster. Golden Runes were hidden on the dragon claws, their flow seemingly capable of tearing the sky apart. The phoenix feathers were like flowing clouds, their tail feathers trailing brilliant streaks of light across the sky. The phoenix beak uttered a soft cry, exuding a sacred majesty. The two complemented each other, emitting a clear and melodious cry that resonated through the heavens. The cry pierced through the clouds, drawing distant phoenixes and Divine Dragon to echo it. Rays of multicolored light and golden Dragon Qi surged from the horizon, surrounding Ren Xiaoyao like stars surrounding the moon. Amidst the fluttering of his white robes, he stepped into a completely different world. Beneath his feet was no longer the cold, desolate void, but a cloud of auspicious clouds shrouded in purple qi. The clouds were soft as cotton, and wisps of purple qi flowed into his feet. Within his body, nourishment nurtured his already perfected Dao Foundation, making his Heavenly Dao Power increasingly refined, with faint signs of a breakthrough. Beneath auspicious clouds, Immortal Mist swirled, vaguely revealing Jade Towers and Pavilions and pavilions arranged in a harmonious pattern. Above the upturned eaves hung shimmering wind chimes, forged from the Nine Heavens Profound Ice. A gentle breeze stirred, emitting melodious, clear sounds, each containing Great Dao True Words that could enlighten any cultivator. The Spirit River meandered like a ribbon, its waters crystal clear, its bottom covered with seven-colored celestial stones, each inscribed with ancient Dao Patterns. Fish swam in the water, each with dragon whiskers and phoenix fins, exceptionally agile. With each flick of their tails, the splashes of water transformed into specks of celestial light, which, upon landing on the vegetation on the banks, would sprout spiritual buds. This was the supreme holy land that cultivators from All Heavens and Myriad Worlds yearned for.

Looking out, nine blazing suns hung in the sky, with Golden Crow circling within them, its body burning with an inextinguishable Divine Fire. This divine Divine Fire was no ordinary fire, but the Primordial Fire from the Primordial Chaos Initial Opening. With each flap of its wings, it scattered Myriad Golden Lights, yet this golden light was not scorching; instead, it exuded a gentle, Meaning of Creation, illuminating the entire world in a luminous glow. Even the dust particles floating in the air were tinged with a golden halo, shimmering with tiny sparkles. On the earth, celestial mountains stretched endlessly. The peaks rise majestically, reaching towards the heavens. Ancient trees tower above, their trunks so thick they require dozens of people to encircle them. Ancient runes are carved into their bark, shimmering and emanating a rich Daoist aura. The lush foliage blocks out the sun, each leaf shimmering with a lustrous sheen. Falling leaves transform into countless Daoist-infused swords, their sharp edges Sword Hum with a clear, resonant sound. Clouds swirl among the peaks, and Immortal Crane soar gracefully. Immortal Crane feathers are as white as snow, with a single crimson dot on their heads... It is an High Antiquity and exotic species, with a gurgling Spirit Spring. The spring water shimmers with tiny fragments of celestial light, a light imbued with the Power of Creation. When it falls on stones, it can transform stubborn rocks into beautiful jade, warm and translucent, containing rich Spiritual Qi. When it falls on plants, it can nurture rare spirit medicine spirit medicine, whose leaves unfurl, emitting a refreshing fragrance that cleanses impurities from a cultivator's body and enhances their cultivation. Furthermore, Jade Flowers and Luminous Grass grow everywhere, their petals as large as cartwheels, their colors... A vibrant tapestry of colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—intertwines, and within the flower's heart, a single, crystal-clear drop of celestial dew slowly condenses. The dew, pure and transparent, brimming with boundless vitality, drips to the ground, transforming into a small Spirit Spring. Its fragrant aroma is enough to help ordinary cultivators break through bottlenecks and Marrow Cleansing and Bone Reshaping. As the petals fall, they transform into specks of runes, swirling leisurely in mid-air. Within these runes, the Great Dao True Words can be faintly discerned; hearing them cleanses the soul, purifying the mind and eradicating all worldly desires.

This is the origin of All Heavens and Myriad Worlds — the Immortal Realm of the Heavens.

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes flickered slightly, the Black and White Qi and the primordial white light slowly rotating within them, like the sun, moon, and stars rising and falling in turn. Wherever his gaze fell, the Heaven and Earth Laws of the Immortal Realm of the Heavens were clearly visible. These Principle were far more refined and vast than those of the Profound Yellow Realm, like an invisible net covering the entire world. Between the interwoven Principle, the profound mysteries of World Creation faintly flowed. Within each wisp of immortal energy, there was the primordial Primordial Chaos Aura of World Creation, a power purer than the Origin Dao Charm, enough to drive any cultivator mad. Even a Heavenly Dao Realm expert could draw upon it for a breakthrough. He nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "Indeed, this is the Immortal Realm of the Heavens. The Great Dao here is a hundred times more profound than that of the Profound Yellow Realm. If I could cultivate here for a hundred years, my Heavenly Dao Realm would surely rise another level, touching the legendary threshold of the Immortal Emperor."

He was about to step forward, seeking a place rich in Spiritual Qi to settle down and carefully comprehend the Great Dao of this place, when a cold snort exploded from the clouds like a thunderclap, shaking the surrounding auspicious clouds and causing even the falling runes to vanish instantly. The warm and moist atmosphere in the air suddenly turned chilling, and a domineering pressure swept in like a tidal wave, causing the Spirit Spring below to stop flowing. The Immortal Crane folded their wings and landed, trembling, and even the ancient trees on the peaks bent their branches slightly.

"You audacious cultivator from the lower realms, trespassing into the Immortal Realm of the Heavens! Do you know your crime?"

His voice was authoritative and cold, carrying an arrogant air of superiority, as if he were reprimanding an ignorant ant. Between the lines, there was nothing but contempt and disdain for cultivators from the lower realms. That arrogance seemed to be innate, engraved in his very bones.

Ren Xiaoyao looked up and saw a figure clad in Purple-Gold Immortal Armor armor slowly emerge from the clouds. The Immortal Envoy had a handsome face, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, yet his brows were etched with an unyielding arrogance, his gaze disdainful, as if nothing in the world could possibly catch his eye. Hanging at his waist was a token inscribed with the words "Heavenly Realm Inspector," carved from Thousand-Year Warm Jade. The token shimmered with light, and a faint pressure of Immortal Realm Laws emanated from it. Anyone whose cultivation was lower than his would involuntarily... Overwhelmed with awe, his knees buckled, making it difficult for him to stand. His immortal power surged, transforming into countless Golden Chains. These chains were inscribed with dense, intricate restrictions, all personally laid down by powerful beings of the Immortal Realm. Each restriction contained the power to bind the soul. The chains were made of extraordinary material, forged from a mixture of Nine Heavens Black Iron Profound Iron and Immortal Gold, making them indestructible. They moved freely through the air, clashing together with a crisp, ringing sound, exuding a chilling murderous intent, as if capable of binding all things in the world, even a Great Luo cultivator would find it difficult to break free.

"A cultivator from the lower realms?" Ren Xiaoyao's lips curled into a faint, indifferent smile. His white robes fluttered slightly in the wind, and the Dragon Phoenix Phantom and phoenixes around him swayed gently. He raised his Dragon Head slightly, his phoenix eyes half-open, revealing a hint of disdain. "I, Ren Xiaoyao, come from the Profound Yellow Realm and am merely passing through this place. How dare you claim to have trespassed?"

"The Profound Yellow Realm?" The Immortal Envoy seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. He threw his head back and laughed wildly, his laughter so loud that the surrounding clouds dispersed, revealing a clear blue sky. "It's just a barren place in the lower realm, yet you dare to call yourself 'I'? Boy, do you know what kind of existence this Immortal Realm of the Heavens is? Even a cultivator at the Great Luo Perfection is nothing but an ant here, only fit to Immortal Envoy. You, a mere Great Luo cultivator, dare to be so insolent before me?"

Before he finished speaking, the Golden Chains around him emerged like venomous snakes, whistling sharply as they tore through the void. The sound of the chains ripping through the air was piercing and ear-piercing, even creating tiny cracks in the air itself, within which a void storm could be faintly heard roaring. The runes on the chains shone brightly, and the pressure emanating from them caused the surrounding auspicious clouds to dissipate. They coiled towards Ren Xiaoyao's limbs and bones, attempting to bind him, extract his soul, and condemn him to eternal damnation.

"Considering this is your first offense, I will show mercy and spare your life." The Immortal Envoy's voice grew increasingly arrogant, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes. His gaze was as if he were looking at a precious treasure, as if he could already see Ren Xiaoyao as his slave. "From this day forward, you will be my slave, guarding my celestial abode and tending my herb garden. Perhaps that will even save your life."

In his view, although Ren Xiaoyao possessed a remarkable Daoist aura, he was merely at the peak of the Great Luo realm, utterly insignificant before him, the inspector in charge of the Immortal Realm Laws. Being able to enslave a Great Luo peak cultivator was enough for him to boast about to his colleagues for a long time. After all, even in the Immortal Realm of the Heavens, Great Luo cultivators were considered formidable figures, and ordinary Immortal Envoy might not even possess such slaves.

The Golden Chains arrived in an instant, carrying the power to destroy everything. The strong wind from the chains made the hair on Ren Xiaoyao's forehead flutter slightly. The tips of the chains gleamed with a cold light, and it looked like they were about to wrap around Ren Xiaoyao's limbs.

A cold glint flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes. He did not use the Primordial Chaos Life and Death Axe, but simply raised his hand and flicked it. The movement was gentle, as if he were casually brushing dust off his sleeves while taking a leisurely stroll. It was calm and breezy, but it carried an irresistible majesty.

A wisp of milky-white Origin Dao Charm flowed from his fingertips. The essence was pure and flawless, like a newborn infant, yet it carried an aura of supreme majesty, transforming into a seemingly gentle light screen that stood before him. On the light screen, Dragon Phoenix Phantom swirled, runes flickered, and it emitted a warm glow. As the light screen flowed, the profound mysteries of the Great Dao of the Heavens faintly rose and fell within it, as if a small Heavenly Dao world was slowly unfolding, radiating its majestic heavenly power.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

The Golden Chains slammed against the light barrier with a piercing, sharp sound that startled even the distant Immortal Crane, causing the spiritual herbs on the mountain peaks to tremble and curl their leaves, nearly plunging off the cliffs. Yet, the chains, powerful enough to bind even a Grand Luo cultivator, were like mud oxen sinking into the sea, not even causing a ripple. On the contrary, the Immortal Realm runes on the chains, under the cleansing Origin Dao Charm, dimmed at a visible speed. The light on the runes gradually dissipated, then crumbled inch by inch, turning into specks of golden light that vanished into the air.

"Snap!"

After a few crisp sounds, those indestructible Golden Chains broke into countless pieces like rotten wood, falling onto the auspicious clouds with a dull sound. The broken surfaces were smooth and flat, as if they had been cut by a sharp blade, and not a trace of immortal energy remained at the break.

The Immortal Envoy's smile froze instantly, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes as if he had witnessed the most unbelievable thing in the world. He exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible? Your Daoist aura... how can it be so domineering? My Immortal Locking Chains were forged by the Immortal Court Artifact Master, using 100,000 catties of Immortal Gold, supplemented with 300 kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and took 300 years to complete. They can even bind a peak Great Luo Immortal, how could you shatter them so easily?"

Before he could finish speaking, Ren Xiaoyao had already stepped forward. Layers of Daoist flowers rose from the void beneath his feet. The flowers were as white as snow, and within their stamens, faint Dragon Phoenix Phantom swirled. On the petals were engraved the three profound mysteries of birth and death, yin and yang, and creation. With a single step, he traversed ten thousand miles, as if shrinking the earth to an inch, instantly appearing before the Immortal Envoy. The hem of his white robe brushed against the Immortal Envoy's cheek, carrying a chilling aura that made the Immortal Envoy tremble. Goosebumps instantly covered his entire body, and an ominous premonition grew wildly in his heart.

"Slave?" Ren Xiaoyao's voice was calm and even, yet it carried an undeniable majesty of the Heavenly Dao, resounding like a great bell, echoing through the Immortal Envoy's eardrums to ache, his blood to surge, and his immortal power to begin to stagnate. "You, do you even deserve it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched his palm slightly, and a vast Heavenly Dao Pressure suddenly erupted. Compared to when he was in the Profound Yellow Realm, that pressure was more condensed and more vast. It was an unparalleled pressure that had merged the Chaos Origin and the Great Dao of the Heavens. It was gentle yet carried an irresistible domineering force, as if the Heavenly Dao itself had come to judge all things in the world.

The oppressive aura swept outwards, surging towards the Immortal Envoy like a tidal wave. Wherever it passed, the void distorted slightly, and even the surrounding Immortal Gale Qi bowed down in submission, daring not to make the slightest move. The clouds stopped churning, the wind became weak, and the entire world seemed to fall into a deathly silence, with only Ren Xiaoyao's oppressive aura spreading wantonly.

The Immortal Envoy's face changed drastically, turning deathly pale in an instant. He felt an overwhelming, unstoppable force crashing down upon him, as if the entire world was crushing him, making it hard to breathe. His bones creaked under the immense pressure, as if they would shatter at any moment. The Purple-Gold Immortal Armor armor around him shone brightly, its surface inscribed with countless Defense Runes. These runes, all personally engraved by powerful beings in the Immortal Realm realm, were enough to withstand an attack from a Heavenly Dao expert. The armor's surface shimmered with light, attempting to resist this oppressive force. Celestial power surged wildly... With a swift movement, a Golden Shield formed around him. Upon this shield, illusory images of Divine Beast swirled—the Azure White Tiger, Azure Dragon Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. These four Divine Beast radiated their majestic heavenly power, attempting to protect the Immortal Envoy. Divine Beast roars shook the universe. However, the runes on the celestial armor, under the Heavenly Dao Pressure, rapidly crumbled like melting ice and snow, emitting a mournful cry of unbearable strain. The protective shield shattered instantly, dissipating into specks of golden light. The illusory images of the four Divine Beast let out a mournful cry before vanishing without a trace, not even a remnant soul remaining.

"Puff!"

The Immortal Envoy suddenly spat out a mouthful of golden blood, which landed on the auspicious clouds and burned holes in them. Wisps of black smoke rose from the edges of the holes, mixed with his dissipated celestial power. His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a distant celestial mountain. The crisp sound of his bones breaking could be clearly heard from tens of thousands of miles away; the sound was extremely piercing.

"Boom!"

That towering immortal mountain, its peaks steep and piercing the clouds, was covered with countless rare and exotic herbs. It was also protected by High Antiquity array, its Formation Method Talismanic Script flashing with immense power, making it difficult for ordinary cultivators to even approach. Yet, upon impact, it collapsed with a deafening roar, sending rubble flying and dust billowing everywhere. The rare and exotic herbs instantly turned to ashes. The Formation Method Talismanic Script flickered a few times before completely dimming and vanishing without a trace. The entire immortal mountain was reduced to ruins in an instant, dust billowing and blotting out the sun.

The Immortal Envoy struggled to his feet from the rubble. His Purple-Gold Immortal Armor was shattered, crisscrossed with cracks that revealed his bloodied skin beneath. The wounds were deep enough to expose bone, the white bones stark against the surface. Blood gushed out, staining the rubble beneath him. One of his arms hung limply, clearly broken. A horrifying trail of blood clung to the corner of his mouth. His gaze towards Ren Xiaoyao was filled with terror and disbelief. His body trembled uncontrollably, making it difficult to even stand. He could only lean against a piece of rubble, shivering and his teeth chattering, making a clattering sound.

He could clearly sense that the oppressive aura emanating from Ren Xiaoyao was far beyond what a Great Luo Realm cultivator could possess. It was a power that transcended immortal power and ordinary Principle; that power was both gentle and domineering, as if it could control the birth and death of all things in the world, turning clouds into rain with a wave of its hand—that was... the Heavenly Dao Power!

"You... you're not at the Great Luo Realm!" The Immortal Envoy's voice trembled, carrying a hint of despair, like the mournful cry of a beast on the verge of death. "You are... Heavenly Dao Realm expert?"

In this Immortal Realm of the Heavens, Great Luo cultivators are everywhere, as numerous as carp crossing a river. However, Heavenly Dao Realm experts are extremely rare, standing at the very top of the pyramid. Even within the Upper Heavens Immortal Court, they are powerful figures who govern a Star Realms and are revered by all immortals. How could a mere inspector like him possibly provoke such a being? He was filled with regret, wishing he could slap himself a few times. Had he known this would happen, he would have dared not have stopped this supreme being even if he had a hundred lives.

Ren Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back, his white robes fluttering in the celestial energy Dragon Phoenix Phantom circled around him, emitting clear and melodious cries. These cries cleansed the malevolent energy of the world, causing the scattered auspicious clouds to reform and the broken runes to slowly return to their places. The warm and gentle atmosphere of the world gradually returned. He glanced indifferently at the Immortal Envoy, as if looking down at an ant crawling on the ground, his eyes devoid of any ripples, as if he had merely crushed an eyesore.

"It's too late to know now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed, Meteor Chasing the Moon a wisp of Origin Dao Charm bursting forth. The energy, swift as a shooting star, struck the Immortal Envoy precisely between the eyebrows. The energy entered, and instantly a milky-white rune appeared on the Immortal Envoy's brow. As the rune flickered, it emitted a power that imprisoned the soul. The rune, like a brand, was deeply engraved upon his soul, never to be removed.

The Immortal Envoy felt a sharp pain between his brows, and then all his immortal power dissipated like a flood. The Immortal Infant in his dantian also fell into a deep sleep in an instant, and even his soul was firmly imprisoned, unable to move an inch. He wanted to beg for mercy, but he didn't even have the strength to speak. He could only watch Ren Xiaoyao with regret and fear in his eyes. Tears mixed with blood slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the gravel, spreading into patches of glaring blood flowers.

Ren Xiaoyao didn't even glance at the slumped Immortal Envoy on the ground. He turned and strode towards the depths of the immortal mountain. His steps were unhurried, and with each step, a flower of Daoist charm bloomed beneath his feet. The petals fell, nourishing the land, causing the collapsed peaks to slowly rise, the mountains to reform, and verdant grass and trees to grow anew on the rocks. Withered spiritual herbs regained their vitality, their leaves unfurling and emitting a delicate fragrance. Immortal Crane took flight again, circling above his head and emitting clear cries, as if paying homage to this supreme powerhouse.

His journey leads to the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm of the Heavens, to the legendary realm of the Immortal Emperor. The mere Inspector is nothing more than the first stepping stone for him to enter this world.

High above the distant clouds, several hidden figures witnessed this scene. They all gasped, their faces turning deathly pale. Even their breathing became cautious, lest they make a sound and attract the attention of that supreme being. They were all Rogue Cultivator from the vicinity, who had only wanted to watch the spectacle. Unexpectedly, they witnessed a Heavenly Dao Realm expert make a move. The oppressive aura emanating from him made them lose even the courage to raise their heads. Their souls trembled, and their immortal power nearly collapsed. The group exchanged glances, seeing terror in each other's eyes. They retreated silently, not daring to even breathe, fearing that the supreme being would notice them and bring about their deaths. Their hearts were already filled with overwhelming shock.

The news of the Heavenly Dao Realm expert descending upon the Immortal Realm of the Heavens spread like wildfire throughout the vast world in an extremely short time. Whether it was the powerful figures of the Immortal Court or the Ancient Sects, all were shaken. In the Immortal Court Great Hall, several figures clad in Emperor Robe sat solemnly on their thrones, their gazes fixed on the direction Ren Xiaoyao had departed. A vast pressure emanated from them, and the atmosphere within the hall was solemn; no one dared to speak. An elderly man with white hair and beard slowly spoke, his voice low and heavy: "The Heavenly Dao Realm..." "... Such a figure could actually emerge from the lower realms! Heavenly Dao Realm Celestial Immortal Realm of the Heavens is about to undergo a dramatic change." Deep within the Forbidden Land of a hidden sect, figures who had slumbered for countless ages slowly opened their eyes. Their gazes flickered with astonishment and apprehension. They could feel the immense Heavenly Dao Pressure, knowing that the Immortal Realm of the Heavens was about to experience a cataclysmic upheaval. A figure clad in black robes muttered to himself, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. "The long-awaited Heavenly Dao Pressure... Interesting, truly interesting. After so many years of silence, finally, some fun is in the air."

A storm that will sweep Immortal Realm of the Heavens is quietly beginning.
