Abyssal Silence and Dawn Splendor

It was from the day True Person Ducang fell that the Heaven and Earth Laws of Chenping Continent were fully restored.

The Immortal Path of Chenping Continent had never been so open.

Yet its Immortal Cultivators dared not claim that a new golden age of cultivation was upon them.

The dread left by the so-called "finale" still lingered in their hearts.

And the Ascension Realm cultivators standing in Du Cang Hall each had their own reckoning.

They could, of course, connect everything that had happened behind the scenes to Chen Yan.

They knew full well that True Person Ducang had appeared out of nowhere at the end of the Chaos of Immortals, set right what had gone wrong, and established a new order on Chenping Continent.

They also knew that, with his fall, the order he had built would gradually crumble.

Chenping Continent now had seven Ascension Realm cultivators in all.

True Lord Ling Xuan, Gu Jing.

True Person Jingchen, Qiu Siruo.

True Person Shuangyu, Yin Xia.

True Person Liuguang, Sheng Bai'er.

Sun Devouring True Person, Liang Huan.

True Person Xihe, Zhao Hao.

True Lord Yue Xu, Qin Qingyu.

With True Person Ducang no longer standing above them to keep them in check, and no shared calamity left to face, suspicion and hostility began to spread among the Ascension Realm cultivators.

Fengjian Valley now had two Ascension Realm cultivators in one sect, giving it an edge over the other Four Great Sects on paper.

And the two Ascension Realm leaders of Tian Ding Mountain were the greatest thorn in Fengjian Valley's side.

Only Gu Jing and Qiu Siruo were likely to stand against Fengjian Valley's two Ascension Realm cultivators.

Moreover, of the Five Great Sects, Fengjian Valley, where Yin Xia and Sheng Bai'er belonged, lay closest to Du Cang Mountain.
