Cultivation of Immortality: Starting from Fu Cultivation

The area is at least as large as twenty-one Eastern Regions.

Rule over such a vast area.

Not to mention that today the pressure from heaven and earth has increased significantly.

Even before the suppression of heaven and earth in the Dixuan Realm more than 20,000 years ago had not yet increased significantly.

Even with the Xuantian Sect's current explosive growth in strength.

It is also impossible to completely control such a vast territory in one's own hands.

It's not just the Xuantian Sect.

The same is true for other major overlord-level forces in the Dixuan Realm.

It can be said.

To ensure the stability of each state.

The major overlord-level forces in the Dixuan Realm have already dispatched powerful people in the Mahayana realm to take charge of the major states.

But even so.

Facing the vast states of the Dixuan Realm and the increasingly powerful forces in each state,

The major overlord-level forces in the Dixuan Realm were already powerless to deal with the rapidly growing territories under their jurisdiction.

Even a powerful sect like Xuantian Sect is no exception.

There are some weaker overlord-level forces.

There are even plans to abandon the outer territories and states and gather strength to consolidate itself.

There are other overlord-level forces that do not have such plans for the time being.

It is simply because he cannot let go of his face as a hegemonic force.

At the very least, they had to maintain nominal control over the vast territories under their jurisdiction.

In this way, even if some forces in the territory act too excessively, they will have legitimate reasons to punish them.

As for the real-time ruling power of all the major states inside and outside the territory.

In fact, all the major overlord-level forces have already given up in secret.

The same is true for the Xuantian Sect.

The current Xuantian Sect only includes Xuanzhou where the Xuantian Mountains are located, as well as several large states surrounding Xuanzhou.

Xuantian Sect has basically lost absolute control over the other dozen or so more distant states.

In addition to setting up some strongholds in these states and sending strong men to secretly collect intelligence and movements of the major forces in these states.

The Xuantian Sect also does not have the extra power to further control the situation in these large states.

Unless they use their last trump card and use immortal weapons to intimidate the powerful Mahayana masters of these states.

But this behavior is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

Even if we can barely suppress the overt ambitions of the major powers in these big states, we cannot stop the small actions of the major powers in secret.

Moreover, today there are many strong people in each state.

Even a powerful sect like Xuantian Sect cannot be enemies with all the major forces in its territory at the same time.

And these forces are well aware of this.

Therefore, if the master has no legitimate reason, Xuantian Sect can no longer be the same as before.

Randomly suppress and destroy some forces in the territory that have powerful Mahayana masters in charge.

Otherwise, even the Xuantian Sect would be in danger of being attacked by many and going into decline or even destruction.

In an era when the Earthly Mysterious Realm is becoming increasingly prosperous.

More and more high-level powerful people are born in various parts of the Dixuan Realm.

More and more high-level experts have begun to make breakthroughs to a higher level.

Moreover, the time required for them to grow and break through is constantly shrinking.

Even some powerful Mahayana masters who originally had no hope of suddenly realizing the great laws.

Also in the constantly improving enlightenment environment of the Dixuan Realm, he took a crucial step towards successfully realizing the laws of the Great Dao.

Tongtian Prefecture.

One of the twenty-one states ruled by Xuantian Sect.

In Tongtian Prefecture, there is a large, continuous and towering mountain range.

Located in the Tianming Sect, one of the most powerful pseudo-hegemonic forces in Tongtian Province.

In the current Tianming Sect, there are three powerful masters in the Mahayana realm alone, which is far more than the other pseudo-hegemonic forces in Tongtian Prefecture.

On top of the highest mountain deep in the Tianming Sect, there is a large cave temple.

A thin-looking, scholarly figure was sitting cross-legged in the air in this large cave temple.

As time slowly passes.

At a certain moment, the figure who was in the state of enlightenment suddenly shook slightly.

An extremely mysterious rhythm of the Tao appeared around the figure and slowly enveloped it.

Under the guidance of this extremely mysterious great way.

The figure instantly entered a deeper level of enlightenment, and his consciousness began to swim freely in the ocean of the laws of the Tao.

"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"

Accompanied by slight resonances of the avenue.

In an instant, the entire cave was filled with strange phenomena and Taoist energy emerged.

Various strange phenomena in heaven and earth lasted for three days in this cave temple.

Three days later, when this thin figure gradually opened his eyes that contained endless Taoist charm, the strange phenomenon evolving in the entire cave Taoist temple gradually disappeared.

The many Dao machines that emerged also returned to the heaven and earth and disappeared.

When everything calmed down, the thin figure gradually came back to his senses and said with a laugh:

"Haha, after ten thousand years of seclusion, I have finally taken the most crucial step."

"The current Earth Profound Realm is very good, very good."

Afterwards, this person stopped smiling, and his figure alternated between real and unreal, and he had already arrived outside his own cave abode.

Standing high above the clouds on the mountain peak, he looked towards the direction of Xuantian Sect and murmured:

"Xuantian Sect, the gap between our Tianming Sect and yours has become smaller and smaller."

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky again and whispered softly:

"I don't know when the Earth Profound Realm will be able to successfully advance, and when... it will be able to accommodate the immortal realm masters to live forever."

This person is Ji Dongming, one of the ancestors of the Tianming Sect who is at the Mahayana level.

At the beginning, he instigated the other four pseudo-hegemonic forces to test the Xuantian Sect, which led to the destruction of the pseudo-hegemonic force in Haitian Province, the Bihai Sect, by the Xuantian Sect.

This is the person who is behind everything.

And after that temptation.

Ji Dongming began to go into seclusion frequently in the hope of making further breakthroughs in his own strength.

The Tianming Sect also fell into a dormant period, and honestly developed in Tongtian Prefecture by following the rules set by the Xuantian Sect.

As the long years passed, the Tianming Sect began to grow stronger.

And he finally took that crucial step as he wished, and truly stood at the pinnacle of the Earth Profound Realm.

Ji Dongming retracted his gaze and looked towards the direction of Xuantian Sect again.

Although he has successfully realized the laws of the Dao, he has the qualifications to break through the fairyland and ascend.

But no matter what, before the end of one's life comes.

He will never ascend and leave.

Developing the Tianming Sect and making it the new dominant force in the Dixuan Realm, or even surpassing the previous dominant force in the Dixuan Realm, has been his obsession over the years.

The Xuantian Sect, which is closest to the Tianming Sect, is his first target to catch up with and surpass.

If you just want to elevate the Tianming Sect to the level of a overlord-level force.

Then he only needs to break through the fairyland and use his own laws of the Tao to refine a top-grade spiritual treasure before ascending and leaving.

Let this top-grade spiritual treasure gradually transform into a magical weapon.

It has a powerful Mahayana master in charge, a tenth-level spiritual vein as the sect's foundation, and an immortal weapon.

These are enough to allow the Tianming Sect to enter the threshold of a hegemonic force.

But even if the Tianming Sect becomes the dominant force in the Dixuan Realm, it is undoubtedly the weakest dominant force.

He wanted the Tianming Sect to surpass the Xuantian Sect, which had been a dominant force for millions of years.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is wishful thinking.

But what Ji Dongming wanted to do was to lead the Tianming Sect to surpass the Xuantian Sect and completely dominate the entire Eastern Region of the Dixuan Realm.

So, if you want to achieve this.

Then he must break through the fairyland in the Dixuan Realm and stay in the Dixuan Realm for a long time.

Only after the upper limit of the powerful people that the Dixuan Realm can accommodate is increased.

He broke through the fairyland in time, allowing the Tianming Sect to catch up and continue to possess the most powerful combat power in the Dixuan Realm.

Only then will he have hope of leading the Tianming Sect to surpass the Xuantian Sect.

After all, only the Dixuan Realm has entered an era where the strong in the fairyland are respected.

The threat posed by the immortal weapons of the major overlord-level forces in the Dixuan Realm can be reduced to a minimum.

After breaking through the fairyland, if his strength is further improved.

That will be in the years to come.

The Tianming Sect he leads will have a great chance of surpassing the Xuantian Sect and dominating the entire Eastern Region.

Just when Ji Dongming was lost in his vision of the future.

A rather burly figure slowly appeared not far from him, staring at Ji Dongming with slightly fluctuating eyes and said:

"I didn't expect that you would be the better of the two of us and be the first to break through that step."

The person who came was Xiao Aotian, one of the Mahayana ancestors of Tianming Sect.

Compared to the other ancestor of Tianming Sect who had just been promoted to the Mahayana realm.

Xiao Aotian and Ji Dongming are both cultivators of the same generation in the Tianming Sect. Both of them are also the most experienced and powerful warriors in the Tianming Sect today.

Sensing Xiao Aotian's arrival, Ji Dongming smiled slightly, looked at Xiao Aotian with a little pride and said:
"Aotian, I am willing to accept the defeat. From now on, I will be respected as the leader in the Tianming Sect."

"As for you, according to our previous agreement, you must support me in all decisions concerning the Tianming Sect from now on."

Hearing this, Xiao Aotian looked indifferent and did not refute anything.

"it is good!"

After uttering just one word, Xiao Aotian stopped talking and remained silent.

Xiao Aotian actually didn't care too much about the agreement between the two.

After all, even if he was one step behind Ji Dongming.

Lost the bet.

He only needed to support Ji Dongming's decision on matters related to the Tianming Sect.

It doesn't mean that you have to obey Ji Dongming's orders completely.

Ji Dongming knew this very well, so he didn't resist it too much.

It’s just that I haven’t taken that step yet, but Ji Dongming took the first step to take that crucial step.

This just made him feel a little fluctuating and unconvinced.

Glancing at the expression on Xiao Aotian's face, Ji Dongming smiled lightly, knowing what was going on.

As a strong man who grew up in the same generation as the Tianming Sect.

He and Xiao Aotian were dissatisfied with each other and had been fighting each other for tens of thousands of years, so they could be considered both enemies and friends.

Xiao Aotian understands him, so how could he not understand Xiao Aotian?
He knew that Xiao Aotian was feeling dissatisfied, but he didn't care about it.

As long as Xiao Aotian can support his decisions on the development of Tianming Sect from now on.

That was enough for him.

After thinking for a while, Ji Dongming asked:

"I have been in seclusion for ten thousand years."

"In the past ten thousand years, how has the sect developed? And how has the foundation established by the sect in Diyuanzhou developed?"

This Diyuan Province is not one of the twenty-one provinces governed by the Xuantian Sect.

The location of Diyuan Prefecture is several large states away from Tongtian Prefecture where Tianming Sect is located.

At the beginning, he secretly guided several other major forces to test the Xuantian Sect, and witnessed the Xuantian Sect's domineering and powerful counterattack.

Ji Dongming began to secretly carry out another plan he had made before.

That is to separate a part of the power of Tianming Sect.

Go to a state outside the area ruled by Xuantian Sect to unscrupulously develop the power of Tianming Sect.

The state that Ji Dongming chose at that time was the Diyuan State he just mentioned.

Facing Ji Dongming's question, Xiao Aotian remained expressionless.

However, Xiao Aotian's eyes still showed a thoughtful look. After a moment, Xiao Aotian began to explain:

"During the ten thousand years you were in seclusion, among the sect's elders at the Tribulation Realm, Li Daoyun has successfully broken through to the Mahayana Realm."

"The current Tianming Sect, including you and me, has a total of three powerful Mahayana masters in charge."

"As for the elders in the Tribulation Realm, the number has also increased from more than twenty to forty-three now."

Having said that, Xiao Aotian paused for a moment, looked at Ji Dongming and continued:

"As for the foundation that the sect built in Diyuanzhou, it had completely lost contact with the sect thousands of years ago."

"But based on the importance of the tenth-order spiritual vein in the foundation."

"After discussing with Li Daoyun, I have asked him to go to Diyuanzhou in person to take charge."

"With Li Daoyun, a great Mahayana master, in charge, the sect's foundation in Diyuanzhou should be safe."

Hearing what Xiao Aotian said, Ji Dongming's eyes were full of confusion.

"What happened? How could the foundation that the sect built in Diyuanzhou suddenly lose contact?"

Seeing the confusion in Ji Dongming's eyes, Xiao Aotian couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness.

"Because the current Earth Profound Realm is too large, and the suppression between heaven and earth is too strong."

"The six-level realm gate condensed by the disciples of Fu Xiu cultivated by the sect, based on the level of their cave heaven and blessed land, is now in the Dixuan Realm."

"It has long been impossible to connect Tongtianzhou and Diyuanzhou, which are so far apart."

"Even the state-level teleportation arrays that the major overlord-level forces in the Earth Profound Realm had upgraded, remodeled, and reinforced in various regions."

"It has now been completely abandoned. It is no longer possible to transmit such long distances between states."

"It is precisely because of this reason that the foundation established by the sect in Diyuanzhou suddenly lost contact before."

After hearing Xiao Aotian's explanation, even Ji Dongming couldn't help but said in shock:

"This... How big is the current Dixuan Realm? It can actually make the sixth-level boundary gate and the state-level teleportation array lose their inter-state teleportation function at the same time?"

Ji Dongming could clearly sense the powerful repressive force between the heaven and earth of the Dixuan Realm.

But Ji Dongming, who had been in seclusion for ten thousand years, really knew nothing about the size of the Dixuan Realm.
