After returning to the Jun family, Jun Xiaoyao went straight to the Heavenly Emperor Palace to cultivate in seclusion.
He had gained a lot from this trip to the Heavenly Dao Tower. He needed some time to digest everything.
Yi Yu followed Jun Xiaoyao back to the Jun Residence.
His talents impressed everyone in the Jun family.
They admired Jun Xiaoyao even more for being able to recruit such a powerful follower.
Jun Xiaoyao also instructed the clan to treat Yi Yu like a core member of the family.
This moved Yi Yu even more, further strengthening his faith in following Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao went into seclusion and began to absorb the thousand or so immortal sources.
Then, he would have to use the Reincarnation Seed of Immortality to comprehend the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist and the Light of Rebirth.
The entire Huangtian Mystic Realm fell into a momentary silence.
However, there was an undercurrent of turbulence in this brief period of peace.
Unknowingly, rumors began to circulate in the Mystic Realm. A huge change had occurred in the Ten Lower Realms.
The Ten Lands could be thrown into chaos. When the opportunity presented itself and destiny manifested, it would bring about unprecedented changes.
Such a change would not only affect the Ten Lands, but it would also affect the Mystic Realm.
In the past, there was no lack of people from the lower realm who were recruited and groomed by the forces of the Mystic Realm to become powerful figures.
Being restricted by the rules of the realm, the geniuses of the ten lower realms were obviously no match for the geniuses of the Mystic Realm.
However, nothing was absolute. With the change in the Ten Lands this time, many people felt that a heaven-defying figure might be born in the lower realm. It might even pose a great threat to the geniuses of the Mystic Realm.
This was no baseless rumor. It was not as if there were no heaven-defying figures who ascended from the lower realm to the Upper Immortal Realm.
This time, however, it might be even more.
Furthermore, this change was also an opportunity.
The geniuses of many forces in the Mystic Realm couldn't hold themselves back anymore.
To them, the opportunities in the Mystic Realm were limited. Furthermore, all of them were occupied by top geniuses, so they could only drink some soup.
However, if they went to the lower realm, they would immediately become the top figures.
Other than the geniuses of the lower realm, ordinary geniuses were far inferior to them.
It was for this reason that many forces wanted to send their geniuses to the lower realm to fight for the great opportunities there.
However, going to the lower realm was an extremely difficult task.
Due to the difference in the rules of the realm, the lower realm naturally rejected the creatures of the Mystic Realm.
As such, the more powerful the creatures of the Mystic Realm were, the harder it would be for them to descend to the lower realm.
Even for those from the Mystic Realm who were not very powerful, it would be extremely difficult for them to descend to the lower realm.
Only creatures who were willing to completely shed the aura of the Mystic Realm and become creatures of the lower realm could directly enter the lower realm.
The Jun family had driven the ten ancient clans away a long time ago using this method to make them completely lose the aura of the Mystic Realm and become creatures of the lower realm.
However, such a method was worse than death for the beings of the Mystic Realm who were born to be at the very top.
No one would choose such a method to go to the lower realm.
They would pay a huge price and use all kinds of methods to forcefully descend to the lower realm.
A year passed in the blink of an eye.
During that year, a huge change occurred in the Mystic Realm.
People from various forces began to descend to the lower realm.
Of course, most forces would only send their descendants to the lower realm to bring a few Dao Protectors.
The lower realm was thrown into chaos as a result.
…
The Tianxuan Continent, one of the Ten Lands of the Lower Realm.
The entire continent was vast and boundless. Mortals would never be able to leave even a corner of the continent.
On the continent, there were imperial empires that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, powerful families that lived in seclusion, and supreme sects and sacred grounds.
The Tianxuan Continent could be roughly divided into the Eastern Mystic Realm, the Western Mystic Realm, the Southern Mystic Realm, and the Northern Mystic Realm.
Dongxuan Mystic Realm, Dayan Kingdom, Lin Clan…
As one of the four great families of the Dayan Kingdom, the Lin Clan was quite influential throughout the entire kingdom.
Even the Dayan Kingdom was only a third-rate power in the entire Dongxuan Mystic Realm.
At that moment, on a mountain in the back of the Lin Clan…
A young man in a blue robe with a handsome face and a determined expression was continuously punching at the wooden stake.
The entire stake was stained with red blood, making it look exceptionally glaring.
Bang!
The young man smashed his fist heavily on the wooden stake. His handsome face even had a ferocious expression.
"Damn it, why can't I open my spirit sea?!"
"If I can't open my spirit sea, I won't be able to become a cultivator. I'll be a laughingstock for the rest of my life!"
The young man was Lin Feng, the son of the head of the Lin family.
As the young master of the Lin Family, he was a piece of trash who couldn't even open his Spirit Sea. One could imagine how much ridicule and disdain he was receiving.
"Brother Lin Feng, don't be sad."
At that moment, a young girl in purple appeared. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and was very beautiful.
She looked at Lin Feng's bloodied hand with a pained expression.
"Ziyan, why do you have to bother about a cripple like me?" Lin Feng mocked himself.
Zi Yan was not a member of the Lin family. Instead, she lived in his house.
Zi Yan wore a mysterious smile and said, "Don't be disheartened, Brother Lin Feng. The world is about to change. Everyone has a chance to become a dragon."
Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Lin Feng shook his head slightly and said, "Zi Yan, I still can't understand what the Celestial Realm you speak of looks like."
Zi Yan smiled and said, "That is a very exciting world. It is countless times larger than the entire Dongxuan Mystic Realm and even the Tianxuan Continent. That is where the power behind me comes from."
"Is that so?" Lin Feng was shocked.
The force behind Zi Yan was extremely mysterious and powerful.
Even such a powerful force was nothing more than a tiny branch of the main branch of the Mystic Realm.
He found it hard to imagine just how powerful the main meridian was.
Zi Yan continued, "It won't be long before the senior brothers and sisters of the main lineage come to the lower realm. At that time, I will definitely do my best to ask them to help you."
"Thank you." Lin Feng's eyes were filled with gratitude.
At that moment, a servant ran over and said, "Young master, the Nalan family is here."
"What?"
These words made Lin Feng's expression change.
The Nalan family was one of the reclusive families in the Dongxuan Mystic Realm. They had terrifying powerhouses at the Divinity Stage.
Divine Bridge, Unification, Dao Integration, Nirvana, Skyward, and Divine Fire.
After igniting his Divine Fire and becoming a Divine Fire powerhouse, he was considered to have stepped into the Ninth Stage of the Saint Ascension Stage.
The nine tiers were: Void Spirit, True God, Celestial God, Dao Divinity, Pseudo-Saint, Saint, King of Saints, Great Saint, and Saint Lord.
Every stage was divided into early, middle, late, perfection, and perfection.
A Dao Divinity mastering at least one Law of Dao was already considered an extremely powerful cultivator to the lower realm's Tianxuan Continent.
The Nalan family, on the other hand, was a reclusive family with a Dao Divinity powerhouse. They were the hegemons of the Dongxuan Mystic Realm.
Most importantly, Lin Feng was engaged to Nalan Lanxi, the current young lady of the Nalan family.
Back then, his father accidentally saved the severely injured grand patriarch of the Nalan family. That was how the engagement came about.
Now, what was the Nalan family doing in the Lin family?
Lin Feng guessed correctly.
Break off the engagement!
Other than that, Lin Feng couldn't think of any other reason.
The entire Dayan Kingdom was as insignificant as ants to the Nalan family, let alone the Lin family.
"The Nalan family?" Zi Yan frowned slightly upon hearing that.
The force behind her was not inferior to that of the Nalan family.
However, she once heard a rumor that a woman from the Nalan family's ancestor was the partner of a supreme cultivator in the Mystic Realm.
That supreme being seemed to be called Supreme Yuantian.
Zi Yan had no idea how terrifying Supreme Yuantian truly was.
However, someone who could be on par with a Supreme was obviously a super-powerful cultivator that she couldn't even begin to imagine.
"Nalan Lanxi better not go too far. Otherwise…"
"When the senior brothers and sisters of the Mystic Realm descend to the lower realm, I will make the Nalan family pay!"
Zi Yan said coldly.
The lineage she was from was extremely prosperous in the Huangtian Mystic Realm. It was an extraordinary sacred ground.
Although it was not as powerful as the Immortal factions, it was still a top-notch force beneath them.
Dealing with such a small hidden family in the lower realm was as easy as pie.
This is the prelude to a new arc, one of my favorite in the book with how blood pumping it is. As always if anyone sees anything that sounds wrong let me know and I'll fix it.
