"The storm is coming."
Shi Yi sensed it in his heart and spoke those words.
The Immortal Ancient Secret Realm had been peaceful for far too long. The news that he had cultivated three strands of Immortal Qi was like a massive stone cast into a tranquil lake, stirring a thousand waves.
After all, this was not a world ruled by the prodigies from outside. Far more formidable native tribes existed here.
Despite the restrictions imposed by the terrifying Cursed Power, quite a few beings had still become Heavenly Gods.
Within the Immortal Ancient World, once a cultivator reached the Heavenly God Realm, the Cursed Power afflicting them would intensify, leaving them in constant danger of going mad and dying.
The higher their realm, the more terrifying the curse became. It was a nightmare the beings of Immortal Ancient could never escape, and every powerful cultivator wanted to break it and return to normal.
Throughout the ages, a rumor had circulated within Immortal Ancient: beings who cultivated Two Immortal Qi possessed sacred bodies nourished by that qi, and might therefore withstand the Immortal Ancient Curse.
Although it had no real foundation and was merely speculation put forward by a few individuals, it still stirred the hearts of the Heavenly Gods.
As early as when news spread that Shi Yi had cultivated Two Immortal Qi, some Heavenly Gods had begun itching to act. They wanted to find him, seize his body, and test that legend. However, Shi Yi had no fixed abode. He was nowhere to be seen in the City of Light, having spent half a year in secluded cultivation beneath the Black Abyss of the Burial World. The curse there was exceptionally terrifying, keeping even Heavenly Gods with profound cultivation from approaching. Naturally, they could not discover his whereabouts.
