In a mountain range 30,000 li Luohua City.
At the very top of that highest mountain, Lin Heng leaned against a large tree, gazing at the full moon in the sky, occasionally bringing his wine gourd to his lips for a large gulp.
Ye Fenghua's grave is behind the big tree.
Lin Heng knew that he didn't want to see the Ye Clan members in the city again, so he didn't bury him near Luohua City.
Burying Ye Fenghua atop these mountains is so that he will never have to humbly look up to anyone again.
"What a magnificent Longevity Realm!"
"What good is immortality?"
"Having an endless lifespan will only amplify the evil thoughts in people's hearts infinitely."
As he drank his wine, Lin Heng chuckled and said.
In the Mortal Realm, even among Devil Race, whose cultivation levels are low and lifespans are limited, there are still deep bonds of affection.
Later, Lin Heng ascended to the God Realm, a realm above the God Realm, possessing a long lifespan. While pursuing the Heavenly Dao and personal gain, the people of the God Realm never abandon their blood ties and kinship.
However, when Lin Heng arrived in the Longevity Realm, he witnessed Ye Fenghua's ordeal in a short time.
Lin Heng could easily guess why Ye Fenghua's cultivation was crippled.
It was nothing more than Ye Zhuangshan being blinded by greed; he resorted to such ruthless means to seize what he had given to Ye Fenghua.
Ancestors taking what belongs to their descendants.
They even went so far as to cripple the opponent's cultivation.
Oh!
Thinking of this, Lin Heng let out a sarcastic snort.
"Judging from your words, young man, it seems you are Ascenders has just arrived in the Longevity Realm."
A voice suddenly rang out beside Lin Heng.
Lin Heng suddenly sat up straight and looked to the side.
Before he knew it, there was someone else beside him.
The newcomer had fiery red curly hair, as eye-catching as a raging lion.
His resolute and somewhat violent gaze instilled a sense of awe and fear in the viewer.
Her black, form-fitting outfit accentuated her perfect, cheetah-like curves, showcasing a powerful beauty.
What's rather odd is that the man was carrying a gun holster on his back.
Normally, cultivators would bind their magical artifacts to their masters with a drop of blood and then put them away.
Apart from sword cultivators, very few people carry magical artifacts with them.
Lin Heng was only briefly surprised when he saw the person who came, but he quickly calmed down.
This person probably has no hostility towards me. If someone who can approach me silently really had the intention to kill me, I would probably already be a corpse.
"I have indeed only recently ascended to the Longevity Realm. May I ask your name, elder brother?"
Lin Heng asked curiously.
"We've only met briefly, why ask so many questions? Sometimes knowing too much isn't a good thing."
As the man spoke, his eyes were fixed on the wine pot in Lin Heng's hand.
Lin Heng smiled, flipped his hand, took out a flask of wine, and handed it over.
The man took the wine jug and took a big gulp, exclaiming how refreshing it was, before speaking again, "People always think that the Longevity Realm is a sacred place they dream of, where they can gain immortality. Little do they know that immortality is nothing more than the origin of a nightmare."
After drinking, the man became very talkative, and he did almost all the talking throughout the night.
Lin Heng gleaned a considerable amount of useful information from the man's words.
For example, in the earliest Longevity Realm, it was like a place ruled by an emperor.
The Ninefold Heaven are inhabited by the original Eight Great Imperial Clans of the Longevity Realm.
The Ten Regions are lands of poverty. The purpose of life for the inhabitants of the Ten Regions is to mine cultivation resources for the royal family of the Ninefold Heaven.
Later, the Ascenders appeared, but initially, Ascenders lives in the Longevity Realm were not easy.
Every Ascenders ascends to the Longevity Realm must, unconditionally, Source Stone veins for the Eight Great Imperial Clans in the Ten Regions for 100,000 years.
Facing the Eight Great Imperial Clans families that stand at the pinnacle of the Longevity Realm, the newly Longevity Realm Ascenders have no means of resistance.
But as time went on and more and more Ascenders, the Eight Great Imperial Clans discovered something that shocked them.
The cultivation speed of those Ascenders is simply too fast. In less than a million years, some have already begun to challenge the majesty of the Ninefold Heaven Imperial Clan.
Feeling threatened, the Eight Great Imperial Clans took action against the Ascenders, and that suppression directly resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Ascenders.
That was the first great battle between the Eight Great Imperial Clans and the Ascenders, which ended in a complete defeat for the Ascenders.
After that, the Eight Great Imperial Clans tightened their control over the Ascenders. In addition to having to mine Source Stone for 100,000 years, they could only enter the city lords' mansions in various places as slaves.
However, the suppression of the Ascenders by the Eight Great Imperial Clans did not curb the development of the Ascenders; on the contrary, it provided Ascenders with time and protection.
Those who can enter the Longevity Realm are all the chosen ones who have ascended from countless realms through cultivation.
Given time, rapid development for Ascenders is inevitable.
As expected, after some time, led by a powerful figure known as the Cold-Faced Asura, the Ascenders from various cities launched a second war against the Eight Great Imperial Clans.
In this battle, the Eight Great Imperial Clans achieved a pyrrhic victory.
The Eight Great Imperial Clans possessed eight top experts in the Longevity Realm, while the Ascenders side only had four. Despite such overwhelming strength, they still only achieved a pyrrhic victory. The root cause was simply that none of the Eight Great Imperial Clans were willing to risk their lives.
The Eight Great Imperial Clans, having achieved a Pyrrhic victory, ultimately ended the Second World War through negotiations against the fearless Ascenders.
The mining operations, which have lasted for 100,000 years, remain unchanged. However, the rule of enslaving Ascenders has been abolished, and the four strongest individuals on the Ascenders side can now establish their own independent forces.
It's not hard to imagine what happened next: the number of Ascenders was so large that they gradually stopped fearing the Eight Great Imperial Clans.
When the Third War broke out, it ended with the death of three peak royal experts from the Eight Great Imperial Clans and the killing of five peak experts from the Ascenders side. This time, the Eight Great Imperial Clans took the initiative to request peace talks.
The rule that Ascenders could not mine Source Stone was abolished, and they officially entered the Ninefold Heaven.
Of course, now that the Ten Regions have overexploited cultivation resources, there is no need to continue mining Source Stone.
After listening to what the man said, Lin Heng felt his blood boil.
Although it was only a man's account, Lin Heng could still vividly imagine the brutality of those battles.
But many things change once one's own interests are satisfied.
The Ascenders experts who entered the Ninefold Heaven gradually stopped caring about the lives of those Ascenders later. Even the sects that had been established in the Ten Regions moved to the Ninefold Heaven.
This is why, in the Ten Regions today, the Supreme Saint reigns supreme, Nirvana is a rare occurrence.
By the time the man finished speaking, dawn was breaking.
The man, who had drunk about ten jugs of wine, shook his head and stood up.
"Young brother, thank you for the wine. If we are destined to meet again in the future, I, Ao Zhantian, will drink with you for three days and three nights."
After saying these words, Ao Zhantian into the air, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the distance.
" Ao Zhantian? It seems he's also one of the Ascenders. To know so much about the Longevity Realm, and even have considerable knowledge of the Ninefold Heaven, he must be Ascenders from the Ninefold Heaven."
Lin Heng stood up and looked in the direction where Ao Zhantian had disappeared, making a rough judgment about his identity.
