6 years later.
Tian Yongheng stood up and went outside of his cave abode, stretching his hands a bit.
He didnāt really need to stretch, but he just felt like doing it after sitting on the same spot for such a long period of time.
For the past six years, he had been cultivating and improving his strength diligently. His cultivation base had reached the Sixth Stage of Acquired Realm some time ago and he had been improving his spells, techniques and divine power to match his cultivation.
He had also challenged Gong Jian in the Simulation Battle Trial multiple times, from one of him to tens of him and even hundreds of him, and he was now sure that he could at least escape if any of the Supreme Elders of the three sects showed hostility towards him.
As for below the Innate Realm...he was practically invincible.
At this moment, he sent a voice transmission to Yan Jingfei.
"Tell your father that Iām ready to meet him and the Infernal Blaze Sect Master."
Yan Jingfei, who had just broken through to the Ninth Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm and was checking on Lu Qingfeng who had also recently broken through to the Ninth Level of Acupoint Opening Stage.
She was stunned for a moment hearing Tian Yonghengās voice but responded almost immediately, "Yes, master."
"Is something the matter, senior sister?" Asked Lu Qingfeng, standing up.
Lu Qingfeng was quite handsome himself, with refined muscles, smooth skin and sharp facial features, combined with his height of 6ā2" feet. However, he still paled in comparison to Tian Yongheng.
Yan Jingfei shook her head, "Itās not something you can meddle in just yet, junior brother. Youāre too weak right now." She said firmly.
In the past few years, she had grown nearly as attached to Lu Qingfeng as she had with Tian Yongheng. She taught Lu Qingfeng everything about the cultivation world, including many spells and techniques from her past life.
Aside from that, Lu Qingfengās talent was one of a kind in itself, allowing him to reach the Ninth Level of Acupoint Opening Stage in less than 10 years after starting his cultivation. Tian Yongheng had told the two of them about Lu Qingfengās True Yang Body and it being one of the rarest Constitutions of the Upper Realm.
Basically, Yan Jingfei did not want Lu Qingfeng to get involved in affairs of powerful cultivators before he got strong himself.
"I understand, senior sister." Lu Qingfeng replied, nodding his head. In the past years, he had gotten very mature. Even when he also wanted to help his master and senior sister, he could only supress these feelings for the time being.
Nodding slightly, Yan Jingfei took out her Communication Jade and contacted her father.
...
A few days later.
Yan Immortal Dynasty, Infernal Blaze Sect.
In the Supreme Elderās abode.
"Grandmaster, the Master of Eternal Peak has agreed to meet me and the Yan Emperor. Are you sure you wonāt come?" Yun Ping asked in a polite tone, his expression showing a hint of concern.
"No, I wonāt. It will be better for me to cultivate and try to breakthrough for as long as I can. Judging from the past actions of that Tian Yongheng, Iāve come to the conclusion that he only takes action when heās absolutely certain that heāll win. Heās the kind of person every cultivator should aspire to be. Calm, cold, and cautious.
Iām sure heāll agree to the alliance, but in case he doesnāt, then donāt try to force him. Remember, his power is equivalent of an Innate Realm expert." Han Changqing replied, his eyes still closed.
"I understand, grandmaster." Yun Ping bowed before leaving.
As soon as he left, Han Changqing clutched his forehead.
"Haa...I donāt think Iāll be able to live for more than 20 or 30 more years..it all depends on you now, Tian Yongheng." He muttered in distress.
...
At the same time, Northern Continent.
Ice Mystic Holy Land.
"Finally, the Seventh Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm!" Exclaimed Yao Qiuyue, standing up straight.
Her cultivation had improved a lot in the past few decades. However, one of the main reasons for that was when she had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, she obtained the inheritance of an ancient Immortal Goddess which caused the transformation of her Connate Providence.
Now, alongside her Heavenly Yin Meridians, she also possessed the Ice Immortal Cold Bones. Not just that, she also obtained many kind of spells, techniques, Dharma Artifacts and even a few Divine Powers from that inheritance, further enhancing her cultivation aptitude.
"Iāll be able to breakthrough to the Acquired Realm if my cultivation speed stays like this before reaching the age of a hundred years!" She muttered in a satisfied tone of voice.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, she spread out her Divine Sense in all directions, as if searching for something, or someone.
Why did I feel as if someone was watching me?
She couldnāt help but think, her brows furrowing.
After some time, she finally stopped searching around and went out of her cultivation room.
Iāll be allowed to explore the Northern Continent after reaching the Golden Core Realm and the entire Second Great Mortal World after attaining the Nascent Soul Realm...but Iāve still got a long way to go through.
She suddenly looked up at the sky.
The Upper Realm...ever since I got reincarnated, I have a feeling that thereās something I must do. A very important task. And I have to go to the Upper Realm to do it.
But I have to become an Immortal for that...I can only cultivate diligently and wait for ascension..
...
Western Continent.
At this moment, multiple massive, shadowy flying ships flew across the vast sky at an incredible speed.
Figures with a sinister and demonic aura could be seen on the flying ships, patrolling around.
In the ship at the front, two figures stood, looking down at mortals.
"Have you checked the Illusion Array Formations that we placed on the flying ships to make sure that theyāre fine? We must not alert any of those righteous path bastards, specially those buddhists." One of them asked, glancing at the other.
"Yes, senior. I made sure to check that there wonāt be any problems with the array formations. But I donāt understand one thing, why are we not using any of the hidden Teleportation Formations that weāve placed in all the continents? Weāre escorting the Demon Saint to the Southern Continent, after all!"
"Youāre not even at the Immortal Ascension Realm, so I guess you wonāt know. If we use the Teleportation Formation, then the huge amount of Spiritual Energy being used will be easily detected by powerful Immortal Ascension Realm and Half-Immortal Realm mighty figures of the righteous path. We canāt take that risk.
These flying ships can travel tens of millions of miles in a single day, so itās quite convenient to use them."
"Oh, so itās like that. Iām deeply grateful to the senior for enlightening me." He cupped his fists and bowed, showing respect.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a gush of Spiritual Energy rushing towards the innermost room of the flying ship. But before he could do anything, the other person he called āseniorā stopped him.
"No need to get so worked up. Itās the Demon Saint breaking through a minor realm." He said, with a hint of reverence in his eyes.
"What!? But, isnāt the Demon Saint only around six years old right now? Even though I know that he is a genius who was already in the Qi Condensation Realm the moment he was born..."
"Yes, he shouldāve reached the Third Stage of Qi Condensation Realm now."
The other cultivatorās eyes widened in pure disbelief.
A six year old child in the Third Stage of Qi Condensation Realm...this is indeed a world of geniuses..
