Cultivation of immortality begins with an eighty-year-old eunuch.

boom!!!

Upon hearing this, the suppressed pressure of the peak Tribulation Transcending Realm around Chen Fan erupted like a flood bursting its banks!

The starry sky trembled, and all things cried out in anguish!

That terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire Kunxu warship. The cultivators at the Integration and Refinement stages knelt directly on the deck under this pressure, unable to even lift their heads.

Even Qingmingzi, a powerful figure in the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, felt like a lone boat adrift in a storm, his bones creaking under the immense pressure.

"Crossing...the peak of the Tribulation!!!"

Qingmingzi was horrified and took several steps back, his eyes filled with terror.

He finally understood where his earlier palpitations had come from. This seemingly ordinary young man before him was actually a supreme being who stood at the pinnacle of humanity, only a step away from becoming a true immortal!

If such a being were to truly go berserk, even with the Nine Immortals guarding the Kunxu Sect, they would surely pay a heavy price!

The pressure was applied and then immediately withdrawn.

Chen Fan resumed his calm demeanor, as if nothing had happened.

"Elder Qingming, can you lead the way now?" Chen Fan asked calmly.

Qingmingzi swallowed hard, his forehead already covered in cold sweat.

He knew he couldn't stop this person; the entire Sky Patrol Fleet combined wouldn't be enough to withstand a single slap from him.

"Senior Chen... you flatter me." Qingmingzi even changed his form of address, and cupped his hands in a bitter manner. "Since Senior has made up his mind, I will take you to Kunxu Sect. However... the Nine Immortal Ancestor has a strange temper, so I hope Senior can restrain himself a little."

"Just lead the way," Chen Fan said noncommittally.

Chen Fan then boarded the Kunxu Sect's Sky Patrol Warship without further hesitation.

The atmosphere on the warship was extremely eerie throughout the journey.

The fusion warrior who had previously clamored to tear Chen Fan to pieces was now like a frightened quail, trembling in a corner, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Qingmingzi carefully stayed by his side, even taking the initiative to have top-quality immortal tea served to him, adopting an extremely humble posture.

In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected.

Reaching the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm means being able to roam freely in this lower realm. Even the patriarchs of ninth-level cultivation kingdoms must treat them with the respect due to juniors.

The warships sailed through the stars for several more days.

During this time, Chen Fan also gained a better understanding of the Kunxu Sect and the Samsara Mirror through his conversation with Qing Mingzi.

It turns out that the Mirror of Reincarnation wasn't always with the Kunxu Sect.

It was originally a broken immortal artifact that fell from the sky 100,000 years ago, and was later obtained by chance by the first patriarch of the Kunxu Sect. With the help of the Reincarnation Mirror, that patriarch defied fate and forcibly founded the Kunxu Sect, which now governs most of the cultivation alliance.

However, the Mirror of Reincarnation seems to possess some kind of autonomous consciousness belonging to the celestial realm, and for tens of thousands of years, it has often fallen into slumber. It only stirs at specific moments, or when it senses a particular energy.

"The Mirror of Reincarnation has been acting strangely these past few days, with black and white light illuminating the Milky Way. The Nine Immortal Ancestors speculate that some major cause and effect related to the Mirror of Reincarnation may have occurred," Qingmingzi said cautiously.

"A major cause and effect?" Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.

For some reason, he had a vague feeling that the unusual movement of the Reincarnation Mirror might be related to his trip to borrow the mirror.

Three more days passed.

"Senior, Kunxu Sect is just ahead," Qingmingzi said, pointing to the vast sea of ​​stars in front of him.

Chen Fan looked in the direction he pointed, and at that moment, even with his peak Tribulation Transcending state of mind, he couldn't help but feel a deep shock.

What appeared before him was not a planet.

It was not a vast array composed of countless planets!

With ninety-nine sun-like stars as the array's core, tens of thousands of cultivation stars are connected by an inexplicable great power, forming a super array spanning half a star field!

At the center of this great formation is the skeleton of a colossal cosmic beast, so enormous that words cannot describe it.

That was a legendary Kunpeng that had long since disappeared!

On the skeleton of the Kunpeng, layers upon layers of celestial palaces and pavilions were built, shrouded in celestial energy and adorned with auspicious rays. Countless enormous waterfalls cascaded down from the sky; they were not water, but the liquefied spiritual energy of heaven and earth at its most extreme!

At the highest point of this celestial palace, nine towering peaks float, each emanating an aura of "immortality" beyond the comprehension of mortals.

The Daoist Temple of the Scattered Immortals!

"This is the Kunxu Sect..." Chen Fan murmured to himself.

Compared to this place, the sects of the Great Abyss Dynasty back then, and even the so-called aristocratic families of Tiannan Star, were not even as good as anthills on the ground.

This is the true holy land of cultivation, this is the foundation of the Cultivation Alliance.

Just as Chen Fan was stunned by the scene before him.

suddenly!

The golden bowl in his arms trembled violently.

The tremor was extremely faint; if Chen Fan hadn't possessed such keen senses, he would have been almost unable to detect it.

But then, the golden bowl trembled more and more frequently, and even a faint golden light appeared on its surface, as if something was trying to break out of the world inside the bowl.

Chen Fan's expression changed.

This golden bowl is his greatest secret. It contains not only the team he built up along the way, but also the physical body of Tianxiangzi!

Since Tianxiangzi's soul shattered, her physical body has been lying quietly in the core area of ​​the golden bowl, without ever showing any unusual movement.

But now, upon arriving at the gate of the Kunxu Sect, it actually began to tremble on its own!

"Buzz!"

Another extremely faint yet seemingly soul-piercing tremor reverberated in Chen Fan's chest.

Chen Fan's gaze sharpened instantly, a subtle, almost imperceptible glint flashing in his deep, abyss-like eyes. He didn't disturb Qing Mingzi, who was cautiously smiling beside him, but instead silently extended his divine sense into his robes.

There, close to his body, lay that seemingly dilapidated yet mysteriously enigmatic golden bowl.

Since Tianxiangzi's soul shattered, her physical body has been lying quietly in the core area of ​​the golden bowl, with Chen Fan using his great supernatural powers to lock in her life force and nourishing her day and night with pure spiritual energy, without ever showing any unusual movement.

But at this moment, the golden bowl that had accompanied him through countless years and witnessed his growth from an ant to a peak Tribulation Transcending expert was trembling violently!

This is not a warning of danger, but an extremely strong, almost greedy "desire".

It was like an ancient behemoth that had been starving for countless eons suddenly smelling the most exquisite delicacy in the world. That desire was transmitted to Chen Fan's mind without reservation through the connection of divine sense.

"What happened?"

Chen Fan's mind raced, his divine sense rapidly scanning the inside of the golden bowl. Tian Xiangzi's physical body remained peacefully asleep at the central array eye, showing no abnormalities; as for Eunuch Wei, Ji Daozi, Ren Dahai, and the others, they had been left behind by him at the Great Abyss Yin Corpse Sect before he set off for the Cultivation Alliance, and at this moment, apart from the spiritual plants scattered on the ground and the remaining buildings, the golden bowl was practically empty.

Chen Fan quickly discovered the source of the anomaly.
