Starting as Peak Master, I Sign for the Ultimate Emperor Armament!

It was located at the junction of the three great continents.

And today, the Immortal Abode welcomed a joyous occasion for the entire sect.

Thirty thousand years ago today, the Immortal Abode was born.

The Founding Ancestor established the sect in a mountain range on the edge of the Cerulean Province, conveniently close to the other two provinces.

Birthdays were meant for celebration, so the Immortal Abode was bustling early in the morning, with grand feasts and the entire sect celebrating together.

They didn't suppress their cultivation realms, letting alcohol numb their nerves and relax their bodies and minds like never before.

Normally, to maintain their reputation as one of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, they cultivated diligently, not daring to slack off.

But today, the Sect Master had personally approved, encouraging everyone to drink their fill, and he was footing the bill!

As the drinking deepened, female disciples began to sing and dance, with male disciples accompanying them, creating a harmonious and joyous atmosphere.

Even the Sect Master personally took to the stage, demonstrating the divine abilities of a Celestial Realm expert, igniting the desire for Celestial Realm power in all the disciples.

However, just as everyone was immersed in happiness.

The stone statue of the Immortal Abode's Founding Ancestor suddenly cracked.

Crack!

Cracks spread from the base to the head, and the entire stone statue split apart.

A drunken disciple was the first to notice, rubbing his eyes and saying, "Holy crap... the Ancestor... it cracked?"

After speaking, he was punched. A tall male disciple, fists clenched, said impatiently, "Even if you're drunk, you shouldn't disrespect the Ancestor, you unfilial descendant."

He then looked at the Ancestor's statue, his mouth agape, "Holy cow, it really cracked."

More and more people noticed the anomaly, their faces filled with surprise, mouths slightly open.

The Ancestor's stone statue, which symbolized the dignity of the Immortal Abode, had actually cracked.

What kind of omen was this?

The Sect Master's eyes narrowed. He quickly calculated with his fingers and exclaimed, "An inauspicious omen!"

Rumble!

Before the Sect Master could finish speaking, a roar suddenly erupted from beneath the earth.

The sound came from deep underground, resonant and powerful, like the striking of a great bell.

"Sect Master, can you calculate the cause of this anomaly?"

A burly elder asked with a solemn expression.

The Ancestor's statue had cracked, and a rumbling sound came from deep within the earth.

Something significant was clearly about to happen!

The Sect Master deduced multiple times but to no avail. He then unleashed all his magical power to forcefully calculate.

The cracking of the Ancestor's statue indicated that an impending event could endanger the entire Immortal Abode, so he had to be cautious.

Pfft!

The Sect Master exerted his full effort in calculation, but he couldn't ascertain what was about to happen. Instead, he was counterattacked by a mysterious force, injuring his heart meridians, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood and his aura to instantly weaken!

What he was trying to deduce was far beyond his current realm, and he had touched upon a forbidden area!

If he hadn't stopped in time, he might have died on the spot!

"Sect Master!"

An elder quickly supported the Sect Master, his face filled with worry, "Don't push yourself."

The Sect Master shook his head, blood at the corner of his mouth. He struggled to look up at the sky, only to see nine-colored auspicious clouds descending from above.

"Quick... quickly go invite the Old Ancestor!"

Rumble!

Before he could finish speaking, the earth trembled violently, shaking the entire area.

The mountain range where the Immortal Abode was located began to crack, the fissures growing wider and wider, reaching a hundred miles in width.

Golden light, dazzling to the eyes, shone from the depths of the cracks.

Accompanying the golden light, a faint but boundless pressure emerged, terrifying beyond measure.

It was a power that seemed capable of suppressing the universe, the pinnacle of the Great Dao!

"All disciples of the Immortal Abode, withdraw from the mountain gate and stay away from this area!"

"Retreat quickly!"

From the depths of the Immortal Abode, three figures shot up into the sky, unleashing the terrifying aura of the Approaching Dao Realm without reservation.

The elder with long eyebrows reaching his waist, standing in the middle, roared.

Instantly, all the drunken disciples of the Immortal Abode were awakened.

"Disciples who can fly above the Core Formation Realm, lead the Vein Opening Realm disciples to evacuate. Move quickly."

The Mansion Master shot into the sky, manifesting a heaven-and-earth Dharma form, standing tall and mighty.

Ignoring his internal injuries from the backlash, he used all the power of heaven and earth to stabilize the shaking ground where the Immortal Abode's mountain gate was located.

Immediately, the three Old Ancestors of the Approaching Dao Realm and all the elders joined forces, trying to stabilize the terrain.

They were buying time for the disciples to retreat.

Inside the Immortal Abode, chaos erupted. Disciples in the Vein Opening Realm couldn't fly and could only seek out disciples in the Core Formation Realm or higher nearby.

However, disciples in the Vein Opening Realm were usually the most numerous in any sect.

It was difficult to evacuate them all at once.

"Sleeve Universe!"

One Old Ancestor of the Approaching Dao Realm abandoned stabilizing the terrain and rushed into the Immortal Abode. He unleashed a Dao technique, continuously drawing the disciples in the Vein Opening Realm who hadn't escaped into his sleeve.

After confirming everyone had evacuated, he roared, "Leave the epicenter, retreat quickly!"

Instantly, led by the elder with eyebrows reaching his waist, everyone charged into the distance, transforming into countless streaks of light, moving further and further away from the mountain range.

Boom!

The massive fluctuation expanded again, the earth shook violently, and large swathes of the grand architecture of the former Immortal Abode collapsed, falling into the cracks.

The mountain range split open, and golden light filled the sky.

Nine-colored auspicious clouds descended from the heavens.

Layers of celestial heavens appeared above the sky, reaching thirty-three layers. Above these heavens were magnificent palaces and jade pavilions, as if inhabited by immortals, with auspicious divine beasts galloping, shaking the soul.

The people of the Immortal Abode, who had fled to a distance, stared at the sky with horrified expressions, frozen in shock.

The elder with eyebrows reaching his waist had a grim expression. He stared at the soul-stirring celestial heavens above, his pupils trembling.

The thirty-three layers of celestial heavens exerted immense pressure!

They blotted out the sun and obscured the sky, showering down the radiance of the Great Dao, with the sounds of the Great Dao roaring from above, captivating the soul.

The mountain range where the Immortal Abode was located collapsed completely with the tremor, revealing a massive structure within.

This is...

"A tomb?"

The people of the Immortal Abode were stunned. Wasn't that massive structure a burial mound?

Their sect was built on top of a great tomb?

So, for all these years, they had been living on top of a grave?

As the tomb appeared, pale yellow gas began to drift out from underground, filling the air.

The Mansion Master captured a wisp and examined it closely, then exclaimed, "Profound Yellow Energy?"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked and quickly captured a wisp to examine, discovering it was indeed Profound Yellow Energy!

Legend had it that Profound Yellow Energy was born at the beginning of heaven and earth.

At the beginning of heaven and earth, there were two energies!

The heavens had Primordial Violet Energy!

The earth had Profound Yellow Energy!

The elder with eyebrows reaching his waist stared at the tomb repeatedly, and a guess that he dared not believe gradually arose in his heart.

Such a scale.

Such an imposing aura.

Thirty-three layers of celestial heavens.

Profound Yellow Energy.

A faint imperial might in the air.
