Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

Within the sacred realm.

Under the Enlightenment Tree, Ling Yun stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky with a furrowed brow.

"Someone from the Heavenly Realm has arrived, from the Upper Divine Palace of Kongyuan." The figure of the Heavenly Fate Daoist appeared, speaking indifferently.

"The Celestial Realm is truly terrifying!" Ling Yun sighed, feeling utterly powerless.

The hazy, ethereal light emanating from those eighteen platinum and jade platforms was beyond his comprehension; the difference between them was unimaginable.

The Celestial Daoist turned to look at Ling Yun and asked with a smile, "How is it? Do you regret it? If you hadn't chosen to fuse with the Celestial Dao Fruit back then, you would have had the best chance to ascend to the Heavenly Realm and become one of them."

Ling Yun did not answer immediately, sensing the teasing tone in the words of the Heavenly Mandate Taoist.

Ling Yun took a deep breath and said, "I never regretted my decision back then. Even though we failed, the Great Primordial World was preserved. The world gave me life and nurtured me, so I can't be ungrateful."

"Hehe, it is truly rare to find someone with such a mindset. But do you know that the creator of this world, the Yuanling Emperor, left 1,700 years ago and has not returned since?"

"Now that powerful beings from the Heavenly Realm have descended to the mortal realm, do you think the Primordial Spirit Emperor has fled?"

The Heavenly Mandate Daoist chuckled, his eyes filled with contemplation.

He was now unsure of Yuanling Emperor's fate, whether he had gone to the Heavenly Realm or sought reinforcements.

But faced with the infighting in the heavens, who in the vast universe would dare to help him?

Moreover, countless years have passed since the fall of Emperor Yuanling, and the world has changed drastically. His former connections and relationships have likely become distant and indifferent.

"I have done my best. If this world is ultimately destroyed, I will have no regrets." Ling Yun said calmly, his gaze fixed on the changes in the heavens.

After the battle with the Purple Extreme God back then, he fully realized the gap between the Great Thousand World and the Celestial Realm.

Looking back now, I realize how adorably silly I was back then.

How laughable it is to attempt to use one's cultivation at the Other Shore Realm to merge with the Heavenly Fate Dao Fruit and fight against the Heavenly God.

Although it seems absurd, it carries the spirit of us cultivators, that kind of spirit that says "my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens."

Ling Yun never regretted choosing that path that was destined to lead to certain death, thus giving up his chance to ascend to the Heavenly Realm.

"Haha, don't always think the worst of things." The Heavenly Mandate Taoist suddenly laughed and patted Ling Yun on the shoulder.

Ling Yun turned his head to look, his eyes filled with confusion.

The Heavenly Mandate Daoist speculated, "Although the Purple Extreme Heavenly God was defeated back then, he did not perish. Perhaps things are not as bad as you think."

"Master has the strength to kill gods, but he didn't do it. The two sides haven't reached an irreconcilable point. Do you mean that the Heavenly Realm is here to make peace?" Ling Yun asked curiously, his gaze sharpening.

The Taoist Master Tianming smiled, but did not give a reply.

He wasn't sure either, and he didn't know much about the powerful beings at the Celestial Ancestor level, nor did he understand them. He didn't know what kind of person the Carefree Celestial Ancestor was.

If the Immortal Ancestor of the Carefree Way is arrogant, then Luo Chen's beheading of the Purple Extreme Heavenly God and sealing him away was undoubtedly a slap in the face, and the other party would probably find it difficult to back down.

"Even the Purple Extreme Heavenly God was defeated, so the Void Origin Upper God Palace still dares to come. It must have its own confidence."

"Just wait and see," said the Taoist of Destiny.

Ling Yun clenched his fists, feeling that he was still too insignificant.

He hadn't expected the celestial beings to arrive so quickly.

Two thousand years is an insurmountable distance for ordinary people, but for great cultivators like them, the time spent in a single period of seclusion for enlightenment may far exceed that amount of time.

Just by feeling the immense pressure that enveloped the heavens and the earth, Ling Yun knew that he himself could not intervene, and no living being in the world could interfere with this cause and effect destiny.

but……

Master only took action back then to protect all living beings in the world!

In the end, when danger struck, none of these beings who had once been protected by him could stand by their master's side and face it together. How tragic!

Ling Yun thought about many things, and the more he thought about it, the heavier his heart became.

……

On the celestial light screen of the Yuanling Great Thousand World, there are eighteen magnificent platinum and jade platforms.

Wherever you are in the primordial spirit world, as long as you look up, you will see this strange phenomenon.

The eighteen platinum and jade platforms are vast and imposing, standing tall in the heavens, shrouded in a hazy celestial light.

The mortals standing on the continent looked up and felt as if eighteen dazzling platinum suns had appeared in the sky!

People were filled with fear and unease. The mortals born in the last two thousand years had not experienced the catastrophe of the Dharma-ending Age, and had never seen such a magnificent phenomenon. It was inevitable that they would feel fear.

The divine pressure of the immortals from the Void Origin Divine Palace enveloped the entire Great World, but no action was taken and no immortals or gods appeared.

at the same time.

Starfall Continent.

The Great Luo Sword Saint appeared at Linglu Peak.

At the summit, Lin Jiuxiao, Ye Qi, and others had gathered to observe the changes in the sky above.

Upon seeing the Great Luo Sword Saint appear, Ye Qi turned his head and asked, "Senior Sword Saint, have you discovered anything?"

The Great Luo Sword Saint's eyes were extremely solemn. He did not answer immediately, but took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.

He then turned to look at Ye Qi and the others, and said, "A powerful force from the Heavenly Realm has descended to the mortal realm, presumably to investigate the matter of the Heavenly Gods from back then."

"They've come looking for Master!" Ye Qi thought with worry.

The Great Luo Sword Saint nodded silently, then said, "I need to go beyond the heavens to help Senior Luo scout the way!"

Having said that, the Great Luo Sword Saint leaped up, transforming into a beam of sword light that soared into the sky.

Ye Qi reached out to stop him, but the Great Luo Sword Saint was too fast, so fast that no one could react in time.

"The Sword Saint is personally testing the Heavenly Realm's intentions!"

Yuan Yang Daojun was stunned, inwardly marveling at the Great Luo Sword Saint's loyalty to Luo Chen.

The scenery before my eyes quickly changed from azure to deep blue, an endless starry sky appeared, and the howling winds of the heavens filled my ears.

The figure of the Great Luo Sword Saint was getting closer and closer to the celestial light curtain, and the platinum jade platform standing in the universe was rapidly growing larger.

Sudden.

A powerful beam of celestial light descended from above, blocking the path of the Great Luo Sword Saint.

He stopped beneath the celestial curtain of light, just one step away from stepping out of the vast world.

"Halt!"

A grand and resounding sermon echoed, and amidst the hazy celestial light, a figure slowly materialized on the platinum jade platform.

The Great Luo Sword Saint narrowed his eyes and saw a figure wearing golden armor adorned with starlight and a crown of stars sitting cross-legged on a white gold jade platform. With each opening and closing of his eyes, a powerful pressure from the Heavenly Dao seemed to descend.

"The Primordial Spirit Great Thousand World has been sealed off by the Heavenly Realm; no living being may enter or leave. This is the law of Heaven!"

"Go back. If you want to force your way in, you can try!"

On the platinum jade platform, the figure sitting cross-legged spoke in a calm tone, as if he did not take the Great Luo Sword Saint seriously.

A sword cultivator at the ninth level of the Great Dao is not enough for him to personally take action and issue a warning; it all depends on whether the other party can see the situation clearly.

"Heavenly Rules!" The Great Luo Sword Saint remained silent for a moment.

He really wanted to take out the Immortal Emperor's Token from his pocket to see if he could get out, but in the end he held back.

The Celestial Emperor had treated him well; if he were to present the Celestial Emperor's decree now and drag the Celestial Emperor, who was far away in the Heavenly Realm, into this quagmire, it would be a foolish act.

Perhaps it was because the deity did not immediately take action.

The Great Luo Sword Saint took a deep breath, cupped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "May I ask, High God, when will the blockade of the Great World be lifted? Why are all living beings trapped within this world?"
