Eternal Night Desert.
In the darkness, whispers surged like a tide.
Thunder boomed across the sky, and now and then, flashes of lightning illuminated the desolation.
Beside the nine pillars, a flawless figure stood motionless. The immortal's eyes pierced countless mountains and rivers, gazing toward Qingyao Mountain, their expression utterly calm.
That Tribulation Transcender had deep foundations and a long destiny. Ascending to immortality was all but certain.

The immortal immediately understood what was wrong with that brat's Dao
