• The two sides have not yet begun a full-scale battle. Instead, they trade insults and provocations, revealing that their conflict has existed since ancient times.
• Jiang Ming learns that the cultivation systems of this era differ greatly from the Immortal Antiquity Method. Most cultivators focus on a single Dao law and create powerful World Domains, which are essential for becoming an Immortal King.

Rather than becoming involved in the confrontation, he observes and analyzes the history, origins, and techniques of both realms. He decides to experiment with the Primordial Era’s cultivation method to strengthen himself.
• Sword King: A powerful female Immortal King specializing in the Sword Dao. Unlike cultivators who believe in mastering only one Dao, she combines the Sword Dao with the Wood Dao, creating a uniquely powerful and elegant fighting style.
