"Finally ascended," Li Qi's smile deepened.
So many years.
He had wasted so much time just to research an array that could isolate the commotion of his breakthroughs. It hadn't been easy.
But thankfully, his isolation array had finally succeeded.
Even though the ensuing breakthroughs might generate even greater disturbances.
Now that he had succeeded, all he needed to do in the coming days was to continuously reinforce the array and increase its number.
Even if he were to break through to the seventh, eighth, or even ninth heavens of Mahayana, he would no longer need to broadcast his tribulation in the tribulation space.
Although Li Qi's combat power might decrease slightly without the aid of lightning tribulations.
But that minuscule loss of combat power was practically negligible to Li Qi.
"Hoo."
Taking a deep breath, Li Qi withdrew his gaze from the sky above the Void Continent.
After that day, Li Qi did not leave the Void Continent to wander.
At his current realm, the only thing he needed to do was to raise his natal spirit puppets to the same strength as himself.
Then, everything else could be handled by his natal spirit puppets.
After all, in the outside world, three natal spirit puppets at the sixth heaven of Mahayana were not the absolute top-tier combat power, but they were certainly extremely high-end.
In the endless years that followed.
Li Qi's days were much the same as before.
He would refine his arrays.
While cultivating, he also set up upgraded versions of the arrays that had successfully shielded the tribulation space outside the Void Continent.
...
What Li Qi did not know was.
While Li Qi remained busy with his own affairs within the confines of the Void Continent.
In the Upper Realm, at the center of the Upper Realm.
The domain of three Immortals.
The three Immortals sat cross-legged as always.
And then, at that moment.
Only the three Immortals could perceive.
Above the firmament, the impatient emotions of the Cangyun Heavenly Dao suddenly erupted, seeping into the consciousness of the three Immortals.
Sensing the Cangyun Heavenly Dao's impatience.
At this moment, the three Immortals, who had been sitting like sculptures for eternity, finally opened their eyes once more.
Their heads simultaneously lifted.
Their eyes held a deep, profound look, as if they were processing the impatient emotions conveyed by the Cangyun Heavenly Dao.
"New Mahayana Heavenly Dao... Location... Still not found... I will not allow any Mahayana Heavenly Dao to exist outside my jurisdiction."
The Cangyun Heavenly Dao was anxious.
It was for this reason that the three Immortals had gone to such great lengths to dispatch countless cultivators under their command to spread throughout the entire Void Land in search of the Mahayana Heavenly Dao.
But now, thousands of years had passed.
Under the influence of the three Immortals' power and their absolute, unchallengeable orders.
Even the most remote corners of the Void Land had been searched several times.
Yet, there was still no news regarding the newly emerged Mahayana Heavenly Dao will.
Therefore... the Cangyun Heavenly Dao became anxious once more.
The three Immortals clearly felt the Cangyun Heavenly Dao's urgency.
The scene became quiet.
After a while.
Finally, the low voice of one of the Immortals rang out.
"Cangyun Heavenly Dao, you do not need to be so anxious. Although a new Heavenly Dao will has reached the Mahayana stage and is outside your jurisdiction, you can rest assured that even if that unknown Heavenly Dao will reaches a stronger realm in the future, we will intervene and destroy it completely."
But it was clear that the Cangyun Heavenly Dao did not show any signs of accepting the Immortal's reassurance.
The emotions of the Cangyun Heavenly Dao became even more turbulent.
"The agreement. You... seem to be breaking the agreement! If so, in the future... you will not receive news of Immortals breaking through..."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three Immortals changed drastically.
Tracing back to the ancient past, countless powerful minor worlds, countless powerhouses.
And at that time, the Cangyun Realm was already the only Heavenly Dao will at the Immortal level.
But the other infinite minor worlds were not weak, with many Mahayana peak Heavenly Dao wills on the verge of breaking through to the Immortal level.
However, the only difference was that in that era, the strongest cultivators were at the peak of Mahayana.
Above Mahayana, no one had ever stepped.
But at a certain point in time.
The three of them were among the first to break through to the Immortal stage in roughly the same period.
But compared to leading other cultivators into a new realm.
The three Immortals unified.
They completely blocked the path to Immortal ascension.
Any other cultivator who wished to break through to the Immortal level would be targeted and ambushed by them.
As a result, the Lord of the Cangyun Plane at that time died at their hands.
Heavenly Dao is emotionless, only concerned with gains and losses.
The Cangyun Heavenly Dao, having survived from the more distant ancient past, directly chose the strongest cultivators.
But there were three strongest cultivators.
Even though there were subtle differences in strength between the three Immortals at that time.
But none of them dared to take over the position of Plane Lord.
It was not that being the Plane Lord was risky.
Instead, it came with various privileges.
However, using the authority of the Plane Lord, one could easily contend against the combined might of the other two Immortals.
None of the three were willing to let another ascend to the position of Plane Lord, nor did they dare to act rashly under the scrutiny of the other two.
Finally, a solution was found, a special method was discovered.
The authority of the Plane Lord was divided into three.
The three jointly governed the entire Cangyun Realm.
But it was more like cooperation than governance.
Because the Cangyun Realm also feared the numerous powerful Heavenly Dao wills of the minor worlds at that time.
In fact, at that time, quite a few minor world Heavenly Dao wills were preparing to break through from the Mahayana stage to the Immortal realm.
But it was a pity that the first batch had all failed.
But everyone knew that with a large number of powerful Heavenly Dao wills, someone would eventually succeed.
In terms of gains and losses, the Cangyun Heavenly Dao did not allow any other entities of the same level.
Thus, they cooperated with the three Immortals to destroy all Mahayana peak Heavenly Dao wills.
This idea coincided with the three Immortals' scheme to block the Immortal path.
For a very long period that followed, it was a slaughter of minor worlds and powerful cultivators.
Countless powerful entities, whether they were powerhouses or minor worlds, perished and shattered.
Some were completely annihilated.
Others, their Heavenly Dao wills were shattered in the Void Land, giving rise to new wills over countless years, transforming into weak Heavenly Dao wills.
Similarly, the Cangyun Realm also aided the three Immortals.
Under the Cangyun Realm, this ancient and supreme Heavenly Dao will.
All powerful cultivators were exposed.
In fact, to test the combat power of cultivators.
The Cangyun Heavenly Dao even modified the lightning tribulations above Mahayana.
The lightning tribulations above the seventh heaven of Mahayana were all required to be public.
