The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

Han Mu entered the secluded cultivation room, set up layers of restrictions to isolate himself from the outside world, sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes, and began to comprehend the mysteries of the Dominator Realm.

The Realm of Domination is a realm above Immortality. Those who reach this realm can control a region and become its ruler. Most of the top experts in the Divine Realm are at the Realm of Domination.

Although Han Mu is already at the peak of the Immortal Realm, he is still some distance away from the Dominator Realm. This distance seems very close, but in reality, it is unattainable. Countless peak Immortal Realm experts are stuck at this step and cannot break through in their entire lives.

Han Mu was not impatient. He calmed down and recalled every step of his cultivation journey, from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage, from the Nascent Soul stage to the Deity Transformation stage, from the Mahayana stage to ascending to the Immortal Realm, and then to becoming the Lord of Chaos and transcending immortality. Every step he took was difficult but firm.

"What is my Dao?" Han Mu asked himself.

He recalled the words of the Elder Tongtian: the true meaning of transcendence lies in the heart of protection. His original intention in cultivating was to protect his family and friends, and to protect the billions of living beings in the Chaos Sea.

"Protection is my path." Han Mu opened his eyes, a glint of enlightenment flashing in them.

He found his own path, the path of protection, and with a heart dedicated to protection, he harnessed the power of the laws to protect everything he wanted to protect.

Han Mu began his ascent to the Dominator Realm. He integrated his understanding of the Way of Guardian into the laws, combining the laws of time, chaos, and immortality to form a new power. This power was stronger and purer than the power of immortality, containing the true essence of guardianship.

The impact was excruciating; each impact felt like it was tearing his body and soul apart. Han Mu gritted his teeth and persevered, his clothes soaked with sweat, but he did not give up.

A year later, Han Mu successfully broke through to the Dominator Realm. His aura was more than ten times stronger than before, and every move he made could resonate with heaven and earth. The entire Chaos Sea cheered for him.

"I have finally reached the realm of the Sovereign." Han Mu opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. He clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, which was more than ten times stronger than when he was at the peak of the Immortal Realm.

Han Mu stood up, removed the restriction, and walked out of the secluded cultivation room. The sun was shining brightly outside, but he felt something was wrong. There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and the Holy Domain was silent, without the usual hustle and bustle.

"What happened?" Han Mu frowned. He strode toward the council hall and saw signs of a battle along the way, with cracks in the walls and bloodstains on the ground.

In the council chamber, Han Li was processing documents when he saw Han Mu enter and quickly stood up.

"My lord, you have emerged from seclusion," Han Li said, but his tone carried a hint of heaviness.

"What happened? Why is the Holy Land so quiet?" Han Mu asked.

"During the Lord's seclusion, the Abyss Overlord descended once again, this time in its true form," Han Li said.

Han Mu's expression changed: "The true form of the Abyss Ruler, what did it do?"

"It destroyed half of the Holy Domain and killed hundreds of clansmen. Zhou Meng and Luo Feng were captured by the Abyss Overlord while covering the clansmen's retreat," Han Li said, bowing his head.

Han Mu clenched his fist, his nails digging into his palm, blood dripping from between his fingers. He never expected that such a thing would happen during his seclusion.

"Where is the Abyss Overlord now?" Han Mu asked coldly.

"It left a message saying that if you want to save people, go to the abyss world of the divine realm to find it," Han Li said.

"Okay, very good, I'll go and meet it now." Han Mu turned to leave.

"My lord, wait a moment." Han Li called out to Han Mu, "The Abyss Overlord is very powerful. Although you have broken through to the Overlord Realm, the Abyss Overlord has been immersed in the Overlord Realm for countless years. If you go there rashly, you may not be able to defeat him."

"Then what are we going to do? Are we just going to watch Zhou Meng and Luo Feng die?" Han Mu said angrily.

"That's not what I meant. I meant that our lord should be well-prepared before going. At least we should know the specific situation of the Abyss World. Only by knowing ourselves and our enemy can we win every battle," Han Li said.

Han Mu took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. He knew Han Li was right; impulsiveness wouldn't solve the problem. He had to calm down and devise a meticulous plan.

"What suggestions do you have?" Han Mu asked.

"I suggest that you go to the Divine Realm first, find Senior White Eyebrows to learn about the situation in the Abyss World, and then make a plan," Han Li said.

"Alright, I'll head to the Divine Realm now," Han Mu said. He gave Han Li a few instructions, then left the Chaos Sea and headed to the Divine Realm.

In the Divine Realm, Han Mu found Bai Mei and explained the situation. After listening, Bai Mei's expression became solemn.

"The Abyss Overlord is a top-tier powerhouse in the divine domain. Are you sure you want to provoke it?" White Eyebrows asked.

"It captured my brothers, and I must go and save them," Han Mu said firmly.

"Alright, since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you. The Abyss World is in the northern region of the Divine Realm. It's a dark area full of dangers. The Abyss Ruler's lair is in the center of the Abyss World, in a place called Abyss Castle," White Eyebrows said.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior," Han Mu said.

"Don't thank me yet. I also want to remind you that the Abyss Ruler is very powerful. Even if you break through to the Ruler Realm, you may not be its match. If you can't beat it, run away quickly. As long as you're alive, you can always make a comeback," said White Eyebrows.

"I understand." Han Mu nodded, then left Bai Mei's residence and headed to the Abyss World.

The Abyss World is located in the northern region of the Divine Realm. It is shrouded in darkness all year round, and the air is filled with the stench of decay and death. When Han Mu stepped into the Abyss World, he immediately felt a suffocating atmosphere rushing towards him.

"The environment here is even worse than the Chaos Graveyard." Han Mu frowned. He activated the Spacetime Compass, forming a protective shield around himself to resist the erosion of dark power.

Han Mu traveled through the Abyss World, heading towards the Abyss Castle. He encountered many Abyss creatures along the way, but he easily dealt with them all. His strength as a Dominator was more than enough to crush these low-level creatures.

After traveling for about three days, Han Mu finally saw the Abyss Castle. It was a huge black castle standing on the dark earth, exuding a cold aura. Countless abyssal creatures surrounded the castle, so densely packed that it made one's scalp tingle.

Han Mu did not force his way in. He lurked in the shadows, observing the situation of the castle. The castle gates were tightly closed, and abyssal creatures patrolled the walls, making it heavily guarded.

"Zhou Meng and Luo Feng should be locked up in the castle. We need to find a way to sneak in," Han Mu thought to himself.
