The Secret of the Sacred Descent

Not long after.

In the Chuanzhen Immortal City.

Inside the grand hall.

Six human figures sat facing each other.

They were all Heavenly Lord level figures!

"Chuan Zhen, is your information accurate?"

An old man asked coldly, half of his body withered like a shriveled old tree,

"The First Heavenly Realm was clearly wiped out back then..."

"Yes, we witnessed it with our own eyes— the King of Immortality of the First Heavenly Realm was killed!"

"Even the ancestral homeland left behind by the Ji family was destroyed."

The other celestial rulers also spoke up!

However, Chuanzhen Heavenly Lord glanced indifferently at the half-withered old man and said:

"Heavenly Lord Kudao, you are overthinking it."

"This news comes from the Celestial Xuanming Immortal King of the Celestial Realm."

"Not long ago, a new great world was formed in the Void Sea. One of the descendants of the Xuanming Immortal King went to investigate, but met with misfortune."

He spoke.

"So what? The Xuanming Immortal King is nothing but an incomplete king. Once the Holy Descent begins, he probably won't even be able to maintain his immortal cultivation. What's so special about his descendants?"

"There are many who could kill his descendants."

Everyone spoke up.

Chuan Zhen glanced at everyone and said, word by word:

"That new, vast world is called the Celestial Realm!"

It's called the Celestial Realm!

In an instant, everyone was startled!

"Furthermore, don't forget that a few months ago, the sword intent of the Wuji Sword King shook the Immortal Realm, and even the First Heavenly Realm Immortal General Zhan Li, whose will became immortal, stormed the High Immortal Realm to fight against the Saint Golden Immortal Lord..."

"This is enough to show that the First Heavenly Realm is probably not dead but still alive."

"After all, the Immortal Dao Palace bears the mark left by the Ji family, which even a Celestial King would find difficult to destroy. As long as that Dao Palace remains, the First Heavenly Realm is not truly finished."

Chuan Zhen began to speak.

Everyone fell silent.

Considering the events that have occurred, it's no wonder that people are speculating so much!

"Since that's the case, then no matter what, we should destroy this entire world first!"

As they were leaving, a middle-aged Heavenly Lord with a festering sore face spoke up, his eyes filled with a sinister killing intent, saying:

"We must not let go of any possibility, no matter how small."

"The descent of the Holy One is about to begin. Our Lord is about to return, and the Ji family is his designated enemy. Only by destroying everything in the First Heavenly Realm can we make the Ji family lose their way in a secluded place, unable to return!"

The others all nodded in agreement!

These six were all the Heavenly Lord-level figures in the First Heavenly Realm.

It can be said that the First Heavenly Realm was originally ruled by these six people.

The fact that these six people have come this far is almost entirely due to the blessings of their "master"!

In return, they have been protecting the Third Heavenly Realm.

Because this is a coordinate, a guide for their "master" to return!

Similarly, the First Heavenly Realm also belongs to the Ji family, a sacred Aristocratic Clan that has also entered an extremely secretive place!

Chuan Zhen immediately looked at the Heavenly Lord whose face was covered in sores and said:

"Heavenly Lord Wuyan, why don't you lead your men there?"

"I believe it should be enough for you to go."

The Heavenly Lord Wuyan immediately stood up and said, "Agreed!"

On the same day.

The Third Heavenly Realm!

Armies have appeared in five immortal cities!

Those armies appeared out of nowhere!

"Kill! Annihilate all remaining remnants of the First Heavenly Realm!"

The Heavenly Lord Wuyan, leading five great immortal lords and 300,000 immortal soldiers and generals, began his journey!

Six Void warship exuding a terrifying aura of immortality, each commanding an army of fifty thousand!

They entered the Void Sea, where countless Void warship awaited them.

At a glance, it looks like it could easily cost a million!

These Void warship originated from various subordinate worlds of the Third Heavenly Realm. Knowing that the Third Heavenly Realm was about to launch a campaign, each of the Earth-grade great world sent teams to follow!

Including the Di Ning Realm, Dijiujie, and Dihongjie!

"Set off!"

A million-strong army, sweeping across the border!

In the Void Sea, many worlds along the way witnessed this scene and were all extremely shocked.

"My God, those are immortal-class warships from the Celestial Realm... That's terrifying! Has the Celestial War begun?"

"Are they targeting the other two Celestial Realms? Only the Celestial Realms could command the deployment of Immortal-class warships, right?"

"The Heavenly War has begun, and millions in the lower realms are trembling. Is it all over? Is the catastrophe that destroyed the First Heavenly Realm hundreds of thousands of years ago about to repeat itself?"

A massive tremor shook the Void Sea!

This team was incredibly fast, traversing the void and getting closer and closer to the Li Tian realm.

"As expected, we didn't even sense the appearance of such a vast world immediately!"

Ahead of the million-strong army, aboard a massive immortal-class warship, the Heavenly Lord Wuyan gazed at the fist-sized world in the distant sea, and his cold voice rang out!

Even though we are still far away, it is already clear that this world is absolutely enormous, more than a hundred times the size of an ordinary Earth-grade great world, and indeed second only to the Three Great Heavenly Realms.

The Heavenly Lord Wuyan said coldly:

"It must be a King of Immortality who intervened, obscuring the aura of the Myriad Worlds Fusion and thus blocking our senses!"

"It seems that besides the Boundless Heavenly King, there are others in the Immortal Realm who are truly loyal to the Ji family!"

"Speed up! I can't wait to destroy this realm!"

A million-strong army Li Tian!

And at this moment.

Heaven!

Outside the Celestial Realm, cultivators responsible for monitoring the movements in the Void Sea astonished by what they saw!

In the Void Sea, it seemed as if a giant black python was sweeping in, and that giant python even had six heads!

"Those are... endless warships??"

The scout was shocked. "Quickly, report to the alliance leader! The enemy is attacking! Attacking!"

Meanwhile, in the celestial realm.

Yellow Heaven Prefecture.

Scattered among the mountains are houses built of piled stones.

It's like a quiet, secluded village.

In each house, young people were perusing various classic texts.

"Old Ancestor, we've found it..."

At that moment, a young man suddenly appeared on the bookshelf, holding up several pages of old, dusty paper!

He exclaimed!

Instantly, everyone gathered around.

"Really? You've found a way to activate the 'Primordial Ancestor Stone Token'?"

"Something that generations have searched for... has it finally been found?"

"Great! Quickly, call the Old Ancestor!"

Everyone started to speak up!

One of the young men hurriedly threw it out to find Ji Yuanqing.

Before long, Ji Yuanqing rushed in. His clothes were tattered, but he was extremely excited. He pushed through the crowd and said:

"Where is that thing?!"

Upon hearing this, the young man presented the few pieces of old paper in his hand with both hands!

Ji Yuanqing took a deep breath, gently picked up the paper, and blew off the dust.

On the paper were some faint words that were almost disappearing.

The characters were distorted and strange, seemingly containing some kind of principle, which the young people around them could not understand.

"Old Ancestor, is this what you're looking for? Why can't we understand it..."

"Yes, the writing on this is so ancient..."

The young people started to speak up.

However, Ji Yuanqing's old eyes were filled with excitement!

"This is it! This is it! This is it!"

He said it three times, and at that moment, tears welled up in his old eyes!

"Since the destruction of the First Heavenly Realm, our clan's heritage has been severed, leaving only fragmentary records. Even the Primordial Ancestor Stone Token cannot be activated..."

"Before his death, the last ancestor left a message saying that an ancient ancestor had left behind a manuscript containing a method to unlock the Primordial Ancestor Stone Token. Unlocking the Primordial Ancestor Stone Token would reveal all the truths buried in the annals of time..."

"For hundreds of generations, the Ji family ancestors have searched desperately, but to no avail..."

"After searching through countless old documents, we have finally found the manuscript left behind by that ancient ancestor!"

Ji Yuanqing was so excited that he was incoherent. He held the old papers in his hands, walked out of the stone house, looked up at the sky, and was in tears!

He thought of his father.

When he was still very young, his father passed away. Before he died, his father held his hand and, with great reluctance, passed on the Primordial Ancestor Stone Token to him!

"Yuan Qing... the Ji Clan has a mission... a mission that cannot be forgotten. We must activate the Primordial Ancestor Stone Token and learn everything... we must activate it!"

Now, he has finally found it.

"Father, ancestors of all generations... you can rest in peace now!"

Ji Yuanqing wiped away his tears and rushed into the secret chamber.

In the secret room, he carefully read through the contents of the few pages of the journal.

Only the patriarch of each generation can acquire the ability to decipher ancient scripts; this is one of the Ji family's top secrets.

After reading it, Ji Yuanqing was even more excited!

With trembling hands, he suddenly slashed open his left wrist!

Blood flowed out, and a dusty gray stone immediately rolled out.

He nurtured this stone token by holding it in his arm!

"Only by using the blood of the Ji Clan to write the talisman to awaken the ancestor... can the Stone Decree be awakened!"

He murmured to himself, then immediately closed his eyes and meditated. Following the instructions in the letter, he channeled his spiritual power and drew a strange blood talisman!

The blood talisman glowed!

At this moment, Shi Ling trembled slightly!

A faint yellow light suddenly shone into Ji Yuanqing's forehead!

At that moment, Ji Yuanqing was suddenly jolted!

His mind was filled with countless pieces of information!

He witnessed an apocalyptic catastrophe!

The immortals were slaughtered like pigs and dogs, the lament of the King of Immortality echoed everywhere, immortal kingdoms were destroyed one after another, and beings surpassing the King of Immortality were all shedding blood...

People are fleeing; a terrifying ancestral ship, exuding an aura surpassing even that of immortals, carries wailing beings away from this world, fleeing to a hidden land...

Many people died while fleeing, their blood staining the sky red.

On a certain ancestral ship, a group of people waved goodbye to their clansmen who had chosen to stay. Before leaving, they were reluctant to part. They used their Law Power to leave a grain of sand in the endless void.

"Live... Hold on..."

"We will eventually find this grain of sand and bring it back..."

A distant voice echoed from millions of years ago.

Millions of years later, time finally calmed down amidst the chaos and bloodshed.

The surviving members of their clan, carrying that single grain of sand, appeared in the Void Sea; that single grain of sand transformed into a vast world...

The First Heavenly Realm!

At this moment, Ji Yuanqing was greatly shocked, his old eyes filled with disbelief!

His aged body was trembling!

"The First Heavenly Realm... was left behind by our people who fled this world..."

"They are the signposts that led them home..."

He murmured!

At that moment, he glimpsed an ancient secret!

"I finally understand why ancient texts refer to the 'Immortal Tribulation' as the 'Descent of the Holy'..."

He murmured, word by word:

"Those who fled... are beings who stand firm on the holy path... They will return... Therefore, they are called the Holy Descent..."

"What kind of catastrophe could have forced them all to flee...?"

At that moment, he deeply felt his own powerlessness!

He's nothing more than a mere Golden Immortal now!

Even in that instant, the mission of the clan became clear...

But what can he do?

"Wrong..."

At this moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he said:

"The celestial realm has been reorganized. Could it be that the Lord of the Heavenly Realm... is related to our race? Did he unify the celestial realm to guide our race?"

He was startled, immediately put away the stone token, and walked out of the secret room.

"Activate the Teleportation Array immediately! I need to go to Profound Heaven Prefecture!"

And at this moment.

News of a formidable enemy's invasion from the Void Sea has already spread throughout the myriad continents of the Celestial Realm!

It triggered a massive earthquake!

Profound Heaven Prefecture, Southern Domain!

Within the Profound Heaven Alliance, Huo Ling'er and the others were shocked upon receiving the news.

They instantly summoned all the heavenly generals of the alliance!

"Two Alliance Leaders, based on our observations, the force approaching the Celestial Realm this time numbers... well, over a million!"

The Yuanyang Holy Lord looked extremely solemn and said:

"We must send someone to investigate immediately and find out their purpose!"

Huo Ling'er's expression was solemn as she said, "Granted!"

The celestial Void warship were quickly dispatched.

But then news immediately followed:

"Our warships were blown to bits before they even got close. The enemy's allied forces, led by... apparently six Immortal-class warships!"

This news shocked everyone in the hall!

Immortal-class battleships...

"Is it... an allied force from the Three Great Heavenly Realms?"

Dugu Chenlu murmured.

"It must be... It's impossible for a mortal realm with a population of over a million to exist in the Immortal Realm, and among the mortal realms, only the Three Great Heavenly Realms possess such strength..."

"Alas, the name of the Heavenly Realm has ultimately drawn the wrath of the Three Great Heavenly Realms!"

"Six Immortal-class warships... This means that at least six Immortal Lords have personally led their armies here... There's no way to resist!"

Everyone's face was grave.

The Profound Heaven Alliance is growing very rapidly these days.

In particular, the immortal spiritual energy is becoming increasingly abundant, and the Dao principles and Dao Rhyme are becoming more and more dense. In the Heavenly General Hall, more than a dozen immortal generals have already appeared!

Huo Ling'er and Mu Qianning have even reached the eighth level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, making them extremely powerful among the Immortal Generals.

However... such strength is simply no match for the true Three Great Heavenly Realms!

Any single immortal being could overwhelm the Profound Heaven Alliance, let alone six immortals...

"Report!"

At this moment, a Taiyi Golden Immortal quickly approached and said:

"Yellow Heaven Prefecture's Ji Yuanqing requests an audience with the two alliance leaders!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was puzzled.

What is Ji Yuanqing doing here at this time?

Huo Ling'er and Mu Qianning exchanged a glance. Ji Yuanqing was no ordinary person...

The opening of the Immortal Dao Palace in Yellow Heaven Prefecture in the past was related to Ji Yuanqing, who seems to have a very deep background...

"Bring him in!"

Huo Ling'er immediately spoke up!
