Three years later!
The Immortal Cultivation Realm is still the same Immortal Cultivation Realm, still steeped in darkness.
People will stop at nothing to obtain resources.
The Final Master betrays disciple, disciple betrays the Final Master, senior brother betrays junior sister, junior sister betrays junior brother.
Treasure hunting, killing, adventure...
Looking at the turbulent Fengyun of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, Cloud Sword Peak stands out as having the most beautiful scenery.
In the past three years, Ling Yi has not left Cloud Sword Peak even once.
However, Ling Yi was no longer alone on Cloud Sword Peak; instead, there were ten handsome men and beautiful women.
Six of them were the five flying Demonic Beast who had successfully transformed into human form.
Ling Yi named them Peng Cheng, Xue Ying, Huo Luan, Lei Que, Wu Yun, and Bai Yu respectively.
Besides Peng Cheng being steady and taciturn, he also has the highest prestige among the six demons.
Wu Yun is lively and unconventional, and is said to be the reincarnation of a blue parrot, making him exceptionally talkative.
Xue Ying, Huo Luan, Lei Que, and Bai Yu are all beautiful women, each with their own unique charm: quiet, passionate, persistent, and aloof.
As for the other four, they were Yuan Xiaolei and her three companions, who had recently Ascension to the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Yuan Xiaolei other three women have clearly matured a lot, and they also have a more heroic and fierce aura about them.
With more people, Cloud Sword Peak naturally became much more lively.
"I never imagined that the Immortal Cultivation Realm would have such high-tech mobile phones." Yuan Xiaolei played with the pink touchscreen smartphone in her hand, clearly quite fond of it.
"Yeah, this phone is amazing! Not only can it video chat, but it can also play games," Wang Xiaoyun said as she explored the games on her phone, familiarizing herself with the mechanics.
Liu Chengcheng maintained her cool demeanor, currently squatting on the edge of the cliff at Cloud Sword Peak, taking photos of the surrounding scenery with her phone.
"How did you find us?" Chi Ni sat down next to Ling Yi and asked curiously.
Ling Yi pointed to the sky and laughed, "There are Satellite in the sky, and every city has video surveillance. I knew the moment you Ascension."
Chi Ni looked at Ling Yi with a strange expression, which puzzled Ling Yi. He asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's a little unusual to see you suddenly start speaking."
"You don't need to accumulate experience points anymore; you'll naturally be able to speak!" Ling Yi said with a smile.
"So, you're saying you're invincible now?"
"More or less!"
After a pause, Ling Yi asked, "Judging from your appearance, you must have been through quite a few Combat. After I left, did anything major happen in the lower realm?"
"Yes, in the second year after you left, other countries formed Alliance, creating an Alliance of 60 million, and joined forces with Demonic Beast to invade the borders of my Great Qian Empire."
"Is this a fight to the death? Why?" Ling Yi, somewhat puzzled.
"You left behind a cultivation method that allows people to Ascension, enabling the Great Qian Empire to produce twenty Martial God in just six months. Those other countries are terrified."
"Afterwards, the concept of Extreme Martial Practitioner and the methods of meridian cultivation were leaked. In the following six months, people from various countries broke through to the Martial God Realm, and the total number of the Martial God Realm they had exceeded that of the Great Qian Empire."
Well, it seems it's all my fault.
"Has the Great Qian Empire won?"
"A resounding victory!" Chi Ni laughed.
At this moment, Liu Chengcheng landed next to Ling Yi and laughed, " Ling Yi, you have no idea how weak those Martial God are. The four of us, Yuan Xiaolei, slaughtered them."
"The four of us went around killing their Martial God and high-ranking officials, and within a month, we had wiped out all of Martial God."
" Emperor Chi forced them to sign a surrender agreement, not only compensating them with a large amount of resources, but also forcing them to agree to Emperor Chi's demands for troops to be stationed in various countries."
"Now our Great Qian Empire has unified the Blue Star."
Chi Ni shook her head. "Our victory was partly due to luck. America developed orc warriors and, through a special method, gave humans the bloodline of Demonic Beast."
"Orc warriors not only possess immense physical strength, but they can also unleash Beast God, making them extremely difficult to deal with."
"At the last moment, these countries almost used Demonic Core Bomb, prepared to fight to the death."
"Fortunately, we found where they stored the Demonic Core Bomb; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Ling Yi nodded. "Demonic Core Bomb, it's basically a giant mushroom. The power of this thing is indeed terrifying."
Otherwise, Ling Yi wouldn't have gone to Janpenese and America specifically to confiscate their goods.
"In truth, the Alliance acted too hastily. If they had been given a few years to develop, the outcome of the war would have been hard to predict," Chi Ni added in conclusion.
Ling Yi clapped his hands and laughed, "Alright, it's all over now, so don't dwell on it. To celebrate your successful Ascension, let's have a barbecue!"
While things were bustling around Ling Yi, a gloomy atmosphere hung over the main peak of the Wind and Cloud Immortal Sect.
After Sect Master Fengyunzi was killed by Ling Yi with a single punch, Situ Leiyun and the others were terrified for a while.
After discovering that Ling Yi was not only lying around all day and was not even making any progress at Cloud Sword Peak, these people once again began to think about vying for the position of sect leader.
After a series of open and covert struggles, Situ Leiyun emerged victorious and ascended to the position of sect leader.
However, the official explanation is that Sect Master Fengyunzi went into seclusion to seek a way to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, and passed the position of Sect Master to Situ Leiyun.
This matter did not cause much of a stir outside, since seclusion and retreat are common occurrences for cultivators.
Only a handful of people knew the truth, and they had long since been either killed or controlled by Situ Leiyun and his associates.
The fact that Fengyunzi was dead was thus completely concealed.
"Sect Master, why don't we go find that person on Cloud Sword Peak?" Fire Dao, the peak master of Investigating Things Peak.
Situ Leiyun remained silent, his brows furrowed.
It wasn't that he didn't want to find Ling Yi, but rather that he harbored too much fear towards Ling Yi.
The image of Ling Yi blasting Fengyunzi away with a single punch that day seemed to be etched into his mind, impossible to shake off.
But now, at this critical moment of life and death for the Wind and Cloud Immortal Sect, their vast Wind and Cloud Immortal Sect only has him and Cheng Huo, two Nascent Soul stage Nascent Soul Stage, as their high-end Battle Power.
While the Nascent Soul Stage is not weak in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it is simply not enough for a medium-sized Immortal Gate.
The current Wind and Cloud Immortal Sect can be described as outwardly strong but inwardly weak. In the past three years, the Wind and Cloud Immortal Sect has kept a much lower profile.
"We were too cautious during our last trip to the Tongtian Secret Realm. I'm afraid that old scoundrel Zhuge Song has already noticed something and is here this time to test us."
One of the elders Golden Core Realm Great Perfection, spoke.
"No, Zhuge Song and his group had already started probing long ago. They were most likely behind the Spirit Stone mine in Qi Yun City. Our decision to give up the mine back then was what caused the biggest problem."
Situ Leiyun said, sounding somewhat weary.
He had gone through countless hardships to become the sect leader, but now he found that being the sect leader was incredibly frustrating.
Without Spirit Transformation Realm expert to oversee the sect, he doesn't even have the confidence to speak outside.
In fact, he shouldn't have competed for the position of sect leader.
Imagine a sect leader who's doing well at the Spirit Transformation Realm suddenly passing the position to someone at the Nascent Soul Stage. Who wouldn't be suspicious?
"I'm going to Cloud Sword Peak." At this point, no amount of tricks will help.
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, strength is paramount; without strength, nothing else matters.
If Ling Yi doesn't take action, their Wind and Cloud Immortal Sect will probably be wiped out very soon.
"Let's go together!" Cheng Fire Dao.
So the two got up and flew towards Cloud Sword Peak.
As they approached Cloud Sword Peak, the two smelled a fragrance.
This is the smell of mortal food; they haven't smelled it in a long time.
The two gave a helpless, wry smile; this person was truly unconventional.
Others cultivate immortality, risking their lives countless times for resources, but this guy is different; he's either sleeping or on his way to sleep every day.
Even when they do participate in activities, it's usually related to preparing food.
Looking at other people's lives, and then at theirs, the two of them felt like they had wasted hundreds of years of their lives.
When the two landed on Cloud Sword Peak, they were shocked to see the extra people there.
These people all possessed the Aura of the lower realm, with the four girls exhibiting an extremely strong Aura of Ascension, clearly indicating that they had only recently Ascension.
Good heavens, we haven't seen many Ascension in tens of thousands of years, and now so many of you have Ascension all at once?
Moreover, they all seemed very familiar with each other, clearly indicating they came from the same world.
"What's the matter?" Ling Yi asked knowingly when he saw the two appear.
The fact that these two guys came to him meant that something big had happened at the Wind and Cloud Immortal Sect, something they couldn't handle.
Seeing that the two were at a loss for words, Ling Yi asked again, "Is it an invasion by foreign enemies?"
Situ Leiyun nodded and said, "Almost, nearly."
"Then it's not an invasion by foreign enemies?"
"Senior, this is what happened..." Situ Leiyun breath and explained the whole story.
The gist is that several surrounding Immortal Gate suspect something has happened to Fengyunzi, so they've set their sights on the Wind and Cloud Immortal Sect.
This time, the three major Immortal Gate and four Spirit Transformation Realm experts, under the guise of discussing the Starry Sky Mystic Realm, all went to the Wind and Cloud Immortal Sect, their purpose being to test them.
If something really happens to Fengyunzi, they'll probably explode on the spot.
The Wind and Cloud Immortal Sect currently has no Spirit Transformation Realm experts, leaving them helpless and at the mercy of others.
" Starry Sky Mystic Realm? Tell me about it!" Ling Yi asked, showing some interest.
Situ Leiyun paused for a moment, then explained, "We don't know much about the Starry Sky Mystic Realm either. It's a battlefield, and it's said that at the end of the Starry Sky Mystic Realm, there are other great worlds that are no weaker than the Immortal Cultivation Realm world."
"Therefore, the Starry Sky Mystic Realm is also called the Starry Sky Ancient Road. Millions of years ago, our Immortal Cultivation Realm's powerful predecessors fought a great battle against invaders from other worlds within the Starry Sky Mystic Realm."
"It is said that almost all the experts above the Spirit Transformation Realm participated in that battle, but in the end, none of them returned."
Some say they died fighting to resist the invaders, while others say they traveled to other worlds via this Starry Sky Ancient Road.
"No one knows the specifics, but the Starry Sky Mystic Realm opens once every three thousand years. Inside, there are numerous ancient Stellar Transformations, and on each ancient Stellar Transformations, there are countless rare and precious treasures."
"Some of these ancient Stellar Transformations are entirely composed of Spirit Stone. Every time Starry Sky Mystic Realm opens, it's a Taotie for the Immortal Cultivation Realm. As long as you don't die, you can basically return with a full load."
Ling Yi became even more interested and asked, "How long until this Starry Sky Mystic Realm opens?"
"Ten years!"
Ling Yi collapsed to the ground. "Ten years? That's way too long."
Situ Leiyun and Cheng Huo exchanged glances. Ten years is a long time? It's just the time it takes to go into seclusion.
"Excuse me, senior, if I may ask, how old are you this year?"
"Nineteen!"
Situ Leiyun and his companion were struck dumb. Nineteen years old? Nineteen years old and already possesses the strength to Instant Kill Spirit Transformation Realm?
So what does it mean that one of them lived for six hundred years and the other for Wu Bai and thirty years?
Was it a waste of time?
Yuan Xiaolei, standing nearby, asked curiously, "How old are you two?"
Could you please not ask that? But they didn't dare to be negligent.
"I'm old, I've lived to be 602 years old!"
Wu Bai and thirty!
The two replied dejectedly.
Yuan Xiaolei gave the two of them a strange look. She really wanted to say, "You two are really useless," but after thinking about it, she realized that it would be impolite to say that, so she decided to save them some face.
Ling Yi found it amusing. He could understand how the two of them felt, but he was cheating.
Ling Yi changed the subject and said with a smile, "So, the Wind and Cloud Immortal Sect is currently lacking a master to oversee things, right?"
Situ Leiyun and the other person nodded.
Ling Yi smiled slightly and looked towards the room where Qi Yun was in seclusion...
