If the gate of Heaven-Earth Pass were opened, the Immortal Dynasty would be able to connect with the powers of the Upper Layer.
The Immortal Dynasty had not done this in the past, not because they had not wished to, but first because they had not yet entered the world. In the world, they existed only in the past, so there had been no way to do so.
Only with the arrival of cultivators from beyond the heavens, the opening of secret realms, the "revival" of Right Chancellor Cong Qiyu, and the future being reflected into view—only once these facts had taken shape could the Immortal Dynasty truly emerge.
Otherwise, the Immortal Dynasty would forever have remained a concept existing in the past, mere fragments within one secret realm after another, rather than a force that could be reached.
