Chapter 1 The Ruins

Da Jianmen (Great Sword Sect).

Jiang Xuan walked within it. Currently, only ordinary disciples were left to guard Da Jianmen. Elders, the sect master, and others had all gone to the Divine-Demon Training Ground.

"Let's bury a ruin here."

Jiang Xuan smiled, pointing a finger in the void. After a ripple, an ancient ruin appeared deep within Da Jianmen.

This ruin didn't belong to this realm. Like the Divine-Demon Training Ground, it was something Jiang Xuan had pulled from his memories of other worlds. The level wasn't very high either.

After all, it was created casually, and this was just the beginning. In the future, there would be many such ruins throughout the Three Immortal Realms.

"Let's see who the fated one is..."

Jiang Xuan looked around, and the lives of one ordinary disciple after another instantly entered his eyes.

After a long time, he saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and immediately decided that he would be the fated one for this ruin.

After doing this, he went to other sects, burying ancient ruins within them in the same way.

These ruins would all be obtained by fated individuals in the near future, allowing them to rise and become famous powerhouses in the Three Immortal Realms.

...

Time flew by, and many major events erupted in the Three Immortal Realms.

Many creatures who obtained ancient inheritances rose against the heavens, becoming overlords of their regions, vowing to conquer the invincible path.

The mysterious and unpredictable Divine-Demon Training Ground descended upon the Three Immortal Realms, allowing more and more creatures to find a place where they could fight to their limits, and allowing more and more geniuses to compete within it.

The Divine-Demon Training Ground had become the most famous ancient site in the Three Immortal Realms. Even the top forces were thinking about seizing the blessed lands within it.

After all, this was a world between reality and illusion, and the power and insights gained within it could be reflected in reality.

Most importantly, even if you died in the Divine-Demon Training Ground, at most you would only be seriously injured in reality.

What force could ignore such a treasure?

While the outside world was constantly at war, a Da Jianmen disciple found a piece of Xuan Ice in the Ancestral Abyss.

Inside the Xuan Ice was a person, a young-looking person. Through the ice, they could see that this young man was wearing a battle suit, unlike the people of this era. It seemed that this young man didn't belong to their time.

The ice was extremely cold, as if it was difficult to melt. Ordinary people who came into contact with the ice would have their bodies frozen stiff, and would begin to be encased in ice.

"Is this a coffin that fell from outside? Maybe someone dumped a body." One disciple couldn't help but say, puzzled.

"Impossible. If it was really someone dumping a body, it would have sunk to the bottom long ago. Once it falls into the Ancestral Abyss, how could it reappear?" Another disciple said.

"Could it be the ancestor of the Kuang Ting (Mad Court)?" One disciple said, "Isn't there a rumor in the Kuang Ting that one day, the ancestor of the Kuang Ting will be resurrected from the Ancestral Abyss, ascend to the Three Realms, and ascend to immortality?"

"Possibly. Report it and let the elders or the sect master decide." A disciple nodded. This matter had clearly exceeded their ability to handle it, so they could only choose to report it.

After a moment, a magnificent voice echoed in their minds, "Move it into the Brocade Pavilion and arrange for someone to take care of it."

"It's the sect master!"

Some disciples were shocked and uncertain. That was their sect master, an ancient and mysterious existence. Legend has it that he was a disciple of an ancient True Emperor powerhouse, wielding the "Dou" zi mi (Secret of Combat), and was once known as the number one combatant of his generation in the Three Immortal Realms!

As for now, their sect master was even more unfathomable, his strength reaching an unknowable level. Some people speculated that the current Da Jianmen sect master had already entered the realm of a Dengtian Zhenshen (Heaven-Ascending True God)!

Even in this vast Myriad Unifications Realm, their sect master was one of the best.

"The sect master is becoming more and more unfathomable!"

Some disciples exclaimed. Although Da Jianmen had been getting stronger ever since the Divine-Demon Training Ground appeared, and now even the direct disciples had at least the strength of True Heroes.

But the truly powerful one was still their unfathomable sect master.

With his own strength, he had pulled the already declining Da Jianmen to its current level. His talent, temperament, and wisdom were highly regarded by all parties.

Some Immortal True Gods had even said that their sect master would definitely enter the Emperor Unification Realm and even the Immortal Unification Realm in the future!

"Could the sect master have already entered the Immortal realm?"

Some disciples speculated. Although there were only two words difference between a Dengtian Zhenshen (Heaven-Ascending True God) and an Immortal True God, the difference in strength was like heaven and earth.

You should know that even a Dengtian Zhenshen (Heaven-Ascending True God), even a Ninth Heaven True God, wouldn't dare to say that they could fight against a True Emperor. Even if they could, they would be low-ranking True Gods.

But an Immortal True God was completely different. Such a True God could indeed contend with a True Emperor, and often not a low-ranking True Emperor.

If their sect master entered the Immortal level, Da Jianmen would become one of the strongest forces in the Myriad Unifications Realm. Even if their sect master couldn't stay in the Myriad Unifications Realm for too long, it would be enough for Da Jianmen to rise another level.

"Probably not, otherwise, with the sect master's strength, he would have already entered the Emperor Unification Realm." One person said. This was an elder of Da Jianmen, who had just arrived from the sect. Hearing their discussion, he couldn't help but say.

"Elder." A group of disciples shuddered. Discussing the sect master in front of the elder was something they couldn't afford to be blamed for.

"No need to be so polite, take this Xuan Ice back."

He waved his hand and smiled, not making things difficult for them.

The sect master of this generation was open-minded and was the master of Da Jianmen's revival. Not to mention these disciples, even they, the elders, often discussed him.

With their sect master's divine abilities, if he really wanted to know what they were saying, no one could hide it from him. So they were all very clear that this sect master didn't care about the discussions of others.

Of course, if someone were to insult or plot against him behind his back, then they deserved to be killed.

"Elder, why do you say that the sect master hasn't stepped into the Immortal realm yet?" One disciple noticed the elder's attitude and couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, so he asked.

"It's very simple. If he became Immortal, with the sect master's temperament, even if he wanted to leave the Myriad Unifications Realm, he would do something for Da Jianmen." The elder said.

In the Myriad Unifications Realm, some lineages still have Immortal True Gods staying to protect their lineages, not ascending to the Emperor Unification Realm. However, for these Immortal True Gods, they absolutely would not easily appear.

Because the lifespan of an Immortal True God in the Myriad Unifications Realm is shorter than in the Emperor Unification Realm, and the loss of lifespan is also faster.

Therefore, these Immortal True Gods often seal themselves with a large amount of natural treasures, trying not to appear, in order to remain in the world for a longer time, so as to protect their lineage, their sect.

If their sect master became Immortal, even if he wanted to leave, he would definitely solve the worries first. Now that everything is calm, they can naturally guess some things.

The group spoke as they carried the Xuan Ice back to Da Jianmen.

The current Da Jianmen was no longer the dilapidated state it once was. Immortal spiritual pure lands were everywhere, and there were countless powerful beings. Even True Gods were not few in the current Da Jianmen.

After the Xuan Ice was carried back to Da Jianmen, the melting speed was still very slow. No one tried to speed up the process. It took several months before the Xuan Ice began to melt.

For these past few months, only one female disciple had been guarding here, guarding a corpse that might be dead every day. This really made this female disciple a little frightened.

Moreover, just on this day, the figure in the Xuan Ice suddenly moved, which scared the female disciple out of her wits, thinking that a corpse transformation was about to occur.

She quickly reported this matter, but to her surprise, this matter actually alarmed the invincible sect master of Da Jianmen.

"Sect Master!"

The female disciple said respectfully. In front of her was a tall and sturdy middle-aged man. In his eyes, it seemed as if countless stars were revolving, as if he had explained all the mysteries of heaven and earth.

"Well, you can leave."

The Da Jianmen sect master said indifferently, looking at the figure gradually waking up in the Xuan Ice, he said to the female disciple.

The female disciple immediately took her leave. At the same time, the figure in the Xuan Ice finally woke up. After he woke up, he didn't care about the Da Jianmen sect master next to him, but slowly sat up.

After that, he looked at the Da Jianmen sect master, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then said, "Who is in charge of the Kuang Ting now!"

"No one." The Da Jianmen sect master said. He had a strange feeling about the young man in front of him, but even he couldn't quite explain the origin of this strangeness.

"May I ask where this young friend is from?" The Da Jianmen sect master asked again, intending to inquire about his origin.

"What? Want to figure out my background?" Li Qiye glanced at the Da Jianmen sect master, and then slowly said, "When I was discussing the Dao with Kuang Zu (Mad Ancestor), your ancestors were not even born yet. Telling you my name, would you even know it?"

"I understand." However, the Da Jianmen sect master nodded, "You are that Yin Crow."

As soon as these words came out, Li Qiye's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Why is it like this again?!"

Thinking about it carefully, this was not the first time.

Since he regained his body and started to cultivate again, there were always people who could reveal his identity in one word, as if someone deliberately told his identity to all the creatures in the world.

The key was that these creatures who knew his identity were not simple, each of them with amazing strength, and their talent and luck were also rare. If they were born in other eras, they all had the hope of becoming Emperor.

If it weren't for his deep foundation and his ability to turn bad luck into good fortune time and time again, and to break through at the most critical moment, it was still unknown whether he would be able to ascend to the path of Emperor in this life.

Moreover, this was only a small part.

Things like peerless inheritances, supreme divine abilities, etc., were also essential for these creatures.

For example, when he was in the Nine Worlds, he encountered an opponent who mastered a supreme swordsmanship called "Cao Zi Jian Jue" (Grass Word Sword Art), which could cut down stars with a flick of his fingers.

For another example, when he was in the Thirteen Continents, he had a great enemy who used the "Zhen Long Bao Shu" (True Dragon Treasure Technique) to attack the four seas and eight wastelands. If he was born in another era, he would definitely be invincible in one era.

Scenes of memories made Li Qiye shudder. If the heavens were deliberately targeting him, that would be one thing, but the key was that behind these things, there was clearly an unknown existence.

One hand stirred the clouds and rain of many great worlds. Even he, so far, had no means to compete with it.

The other party seemed to be above the infinite great worlds, as if it was an existence beyond the Heavenly Dao. Any rules or order were not taken into account by this mysterious existence.

He thought that even if the other party wanted to set up a plan to target him, it wouldn't be so fast when he arrived in the Three Immortal Realms, but now it seemed that he had thought too much. The other party seemed to have expected that he would come to the Three Immortal Realms and had already set up the plan long ago.

The Dengtian Zhenshen (Heaven-Ascending True God) in front of him was very likely one of the other party's pawns.

"Since you know my identity, I won't hide it." Li Qiye looked at the Da Jianmen sect master and said slowly, "What is the situation in the Three Immortal Realms now? Are there many strong people appearing?"

The Da Jianmen sect master looked at Li Qiye, then nodded and said, "I don't know the situation in the Emperor Unification Realm and the Immortal Unification Realm, but there are indeed many strong people appearing in the Myriad Unifications Realm."

"There are eight creatures from the same era as me, besides me. We inherited the lineages of ancient Celestial Sovereigns, and each of us mastered an ancient secret. Take me as an example, I wield the Dou zi mi (Secret of Combat), and my combat power can be instantly increased tenfold."

"In addition to us, there are also inheritors of many strong people in the Myriad Unifications Realm, such as the descendants of the Martial Emperor, the descendants of the Divine King, the descendants of the Supreme Being, etc. Their strength is almost unmatched among their generation."

"In addition, there is the most mysterious holy land, the Divine-Demon Training Ground, which allows all kinds of geniuses and monsters to emerge."

"Divine-Demon Training Ground? What is that?"

Li Qiye was puzzled. The changes in this Myriad Unifications Realm were too great, it was no longer the Myriad Unifications Realm in his memory.

"The Divine-Demon Training Ground is an ancient world that suddenly appeared, existing between reality and illusion. Even Immortal True Gods cannot change the rules within it!"

"Moreover, there are many opportunities and good fortune in this ancient land. The legendary Phoenix Art, True Dragon Art, and Qilin Art are all lying within it. As long as you can break the record, you will have the opportunity to obtain them."

The Da Jianmen sect master's explanation made Li Qiye's eyes darken. This situation was so familiar.

The Endless Fire Domain, the Nine Heavens Star River, and the Moonlit Pool of the Nine Worlds... the Immortal Antiquity, the Forbidden Zone of Life, and the Land of Origin of the Thirteen Continents...

And then to the Divine-Demon Training Ground of this Myriad Unifications Realm.

How many layouts has this mastermind made? The key is that each layout has extraordinary power.

For example, there is a Dao Fire of the Immortal Emperor level in the Endless Fire Domain, a star child of the Immortal Emperor level in the Nine Heavens Star River, an Immortal Emperor's inheritance in the Moonlit Pool, and many Immortal Emperor ruins in the Immortal Antiquity...

Throwing them out casually, at least they are of the Immortal Emperor level. What kind of existence is this?

Even if he transformed into the Yin Crow and wandered for countless years, he had never seen anyone with such means.

The most speechless thing was that the other party seemed to be deliberately going against him. Clearly there were so many inheritances and lineages, but he couldn't get any of them. The only one he got was the Immortal Emperor Art that his cheap master gave him back then in the Ancient Washing Incense Sect.

"I'm still too weak. One day, I will uncover the truth, and then, I will make you pay the price!" Li Qiye thought in his heart. He was not a good person to begin with. How could he be calm when he was targeted by a mysterious existence like this?

He was enduring now because his strength was not enough, but when he accumulated enough power, he would definitely make the mastermind pay a heavy price.
