• Jian Lingtian said Su Ming had discovered the invasion through divination, but the two Immortal Emperors doubted that an Immortal Lord could divine such a matter without karmic backlash.

Jian Lingtian confirmed that five Bizarre Immortal Sovereigns threatened the Vast Immortal Domain and proposed pushing Quasi Immortal Sovereigns to the Immortal Emperor Realm, including Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor. Su Ming read the simulated outcome and worried that Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor’s breakthrough would strengthen the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect and embolden Evergreen Immortal Emperor to keep hunting him.

As the sect’s forces departed to fight the Abnormal Clan, Jian Shisan revealed the Great Elder had not originally been among the planned candidates for the breakthrough.

• Xuanyuan Tian Ji told you that the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect’s Great Elder had become an Immortal Emperor, despite having been only an Immortal Sovereign Ninth Heaven nine years earlier.
• You asked about Jian Shisan and learned the five Bizarre Immortal Emperors were expected to invade within a year as Abnormal Clan attacks intensified.

• Jian Lingtian returned but conceded that the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect could take its former disciples, while Xuanyuan Tian Ji was unable to stop them.
• Su Ming asked the Sword Emperor Remnant Soul for help, and the Remnant Soul said Su Ming could escape only if the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor was briefly distracted, without taking Su Qingyuan.

In the simulation, Jian Lingtian reached the Weiyang Immortal Domain, wandered into dangerous territory, and died; Su Ming then absorbed the experience and recognized that a new crisis awaited.
