The Perfect World Universe.
Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
After the great war at the border fortress ten thousand years ago, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths entered a period of rapid development!
Not only were the threats from other realms temporarily kept at bay, but some internal problems were also resolved. For example, some longevity families and top lineages that colluded with other realms were purged. Those who should be killed were killed, those who should be imprisoned were imprisoned, and only a few who were safe were released to live normally in the world.
Therefore, there are a lot of freed-up cultivation resources, which can benefit more groups of people.
Especially under the leadership of Cao Ya and Meng Tianzheng, the order and atmosphere of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths underwent a major transformation, and the admiration for chivalry and benevolence spread throughout the eight wastelands and six directions.
Although no one will hold back when it's time to fight, and everyone's fighting spirit is incredibly high, this is normal. As cultivators, how can we lose our fighting spirit?
Furthermore, the past behavior of the strong abusing their power and disregarding human life... while not completely eliminated, has at least been significantly reduced.
As for slaughtering the creatures of a region, refining magical artifacts, and cultivating techniques... these have not occurred for ten thousand years!
Because of Cao Ya and Meng Tianzheng's strict prohibition, no one dared to disobey in this regard!
In the past, people from the Immortal Realm came to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and committed illegal and forbidden acts. They were all executed immediately!
The powerful forces behind the geniuses of the Immortal Realm were furious, but they had no choice but to back down in the face of the power of Cao Ya and Meng Tianzheng.
In a past war, the foreign lands suffered a defeat, and even the Immortal King perished...
How could the entire Ten Directions Realm, even the Immortal Realm, not be filled with astonishment?!
Boundless Heaven, Heavenly God Academy.
This is now one of the centers of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
"Grand Elder" Meng Tianzheng and "World Dao Ancestor" Cao Ya are both here.
Even the rising star Shi Hao, who emerged later, also came from the Heavenly God Academy!
These three are, so far, the only true immortal masters who have grown up in this world across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
"Are you confident?"
Behind the academy, Meng Tianzheng emerged from seclusion, looking at Shi Hao with concern.
"Yes." Shi Hao nodded emphatically.
His gaze swept over the crowd in front of him, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Don't worry, I have already become an immortal in the mortal world, and I have fully completed the path of 'using my body as a seed'..."
"To be honest, this step of becoming a king is not difficult for me."
"Perhaps, you too can follow this extraordinary system... and thus bypass the limitations of heaven and earth!"
Shi Hao's smile faded, replaced by a somber expression.
The expressions of the others also showed a mixture of anticipation and worry.
"Go ahead and do it, I'll take care of everything." Cao Ya patted Shi Hao on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Shi Hao nodded, and the next second, he flew out of the Boundless Heaven and went to the outer star sea.
"Buzz..." There was no weakling among those present. The weakest was at the Escape One Realm, and most were Supreme Beings. The scene from beyond the heavens could not be hidden from the eyes of the heroes.
Cao Ya looked around, feeling quite gratified.
Because of his intervention, the development of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in this timeline is undoubtedly much better than before!
"Back then, when the foreign army besieged the pass and the borderlands were in dire need of help, before the reinforcements from all corners of the land rushed to our aid, we first dealt with the internal troubles... Those traitors and those who committed heinous crimes were all executed!"
"Afterwards, he led a large army to reinforce the Imperial Pass, clashed with the powerful figures from the foreign lands, and killed An Lan and Yu Tuo, who were Supreme Beings, Immortals, and even Immortal Kings, before they both died suddenly!"
"The invading army from another land was completely wiped out!"
"Of course, this is inseparable from the help of the future Emperor Ye who went against the flow of time, as well as the drop of blood that Shi Hao fused with... But the root cause is still the united will of the people of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"
"This time, those who have made contributions will not suffer the same fate as the female Kunpeng at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era!"
Cao Ya sighed as she thought about the fate of her mentor, who was from a different generation.
Fortunately, he had already defeated the remaining immortals of the Immortal Palace and avenged his teacher.
Moreover, the same tragedy was not allowed to repeat itself in this world!
With him and Meng Tianzheng around, who would dare to act recklessly?
Visitors from the Immortal Realm who broke the rules were all executed!
"Is he going to become king?" Suddenly, a wisp of divine thought traveled from the primitive imperial pass in the borderlands.
“For Shi Hao, it’s a sure thing,” Cao Ya said with certainty.
That wisp of divine thought revealed a sense of comfort.
Ten thousand years ago, the bloody battle was fought by the original Emperor Guan, who also participated in the battle and stood up against the immortal king of the foreign land!
Despite being severely injured, he did not return to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but stayed behind to guard the border. This was both his duty and to guard against foreign lands. If there were any unusual movements, he could notify his own side and assemble a large army!
Most importantly, he was an ancient person from the Immortal Era. He and several friends, along with heroes from various races, abandoned their riches and honors, left their homes, and guarded the Primordial Imperial Pass until this day... During this period, countless lives were sacrificed. He was already overjoyed to have survived and witnessed the resurgence of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. How could he possibly want his homeland to be threatened again?!
As for governance and development, let the people of Luan Gu handle it. He is just an ancient immortal, stationed at the Primal Imperial Pass, guarding Tianyuan and preventing alien invasions. There's no need for him to interfere.
Moreover, the actions of Cao Ya, Meng Tianzheng, and even Shi Hao have astonished the kings of the Primordial Imperial Pass!
That kind of open-mindedness is something that even in the ancient times, very few powerful immortals could achieve!
Needless to say, the culmination of the "Creation Law" and the "Seed Law of Self-Cultivation" is even more remarkable.
Even in the ancient immortal realm, this would be considered a top-tier cultivation path!
"The mobilization of foreign forces should not be far off."
However, thinking of the covetous eyes of foreign lands, this king also became worried.
"At the end of the great war of yesteryear, the Heavenly Abyss erupted, and a boundless torrent of laws engulfed everything!"
"The connection between the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the other realms has been completely severed!"
"But this is only a temporary solution. It will take at least 70,000 to 80,000 years, or at least 10,000 to 20,000 years, for the strange phenomena of the Heavenly Abyss to subside. At that time, the alien realm will be free of all constraints, and the experts of the immortal path, including the Immortal King, will be able to collectively challenge the gates!"
"Without a second thought, it's obvious that the alien realm will launch a massive attack. The Immortal Kings and Immortal Leaders, along with cultivators from the human realm, will be as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, boundless and limitless."
"This time, they will surely exterminate all races across the land and earth, leaving no survivors!"
"That would be a far greater threat than the end of the Immortal Ancient Era! A slight misstep could lead to annihilation!"
"Now, more than ten thousand years have passed. Who knows when the storm in Tianyuan will begin to subside..."
The king's emotions were very solemn.
In the late years of the Immortal Ancient Era, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had been conquered by foreign lands, resulting in heavy casualties. However, due to the birth of the Heavenly Abyss, the immortal masters of the foreign lands sensed the danger and dared not stay long, so they all withdrew, thus preserving the seeds of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, which were able to reproduce and flourish again in the Chaotic Ancient Era!
But this time, there is no longer any fertile ground for a second Heavenly Abyss to appear!
The final battle will be fought 30,000 to 50,000 years from now!
For this reason, over the past ten thousand years, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have not only been vigorously developing and cultivating outstanding cultivators, but also refining grotto-heaven treasures, and counting population and resources... If all else fails, then the immortals Cao Ya, Meng Tianzheng, Shi Hao, and Wang Zhe will take the grotto-heaven treasures, escape their homeland, venture into the Boundary Sea, and seek a suitable realm to survive anew!
All the resources of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths must be taken away, leaving not a single trace for the alien realm!
However, everyone knows how dangerous this is.
The Boundary Sea is a gathering place for countless powerful beings. Even Immortal Kings face formidable enemies there and are prone to perish.
Not to mention, the four of them also had to protect each and every grotto-heaven and take care of all the spirit races!
This is a last resort.
We can't just wait to die, can we?
Fortunately, the king has recovered from his injuries and has reached the level of a Celestial King.
Meng Tianzheng also broke through all the way and reached the pinnacle of Immortal King!
Shi Hao further succeeded in the path of "using his own body as a seed," achieving immortality in the mortal world and soaring in combat power, becoming no less powerful than some Immortal Kings!
Right now, Shi Hao is preparing to attain the King Realm!
As for Cao Ya... he is undoubtedly the number one expert among the four, an unparalleled giant in the Immortal King realm!
"My own cultivation level is already at the limit of the middle level of the sixth star!" Cao Ya thought to himself.
In the Perfect World system, Supreme and True Immortal are five-star levels. The six-star level corresponds to Immortal King, which is further divided into Ordinary, Supreme, Giant, Unparalleled Giant, and Emperor Light Immortal King.
Quasi-Immortal Emperor is at the peak of the six-star level, while a true Immortal Emperor is at the seven-star level!
In other words, Cao Ya's overall combat strength has already reached the level of a quasi-Immortal Emperor.
He's not just any ordinary Quasi-Immortal Emperor!
Therefore, with this confidence, Cao Ya's thinking also changed.
"We no longer need to abandon our homeland and bring our families into the border sea."
Cao Ya suddenly spoke slowly, with a sense of confidence and composure.
"Huh?" Wang Zhe, Meng Tianzheng, and even Tianjiao Yi, Kunpengzi, Qi Daolin, and others who were watching the ceremony for Shi Haocheng Wang were all taken aback.
What does this mean?
It should be noted that, in order to safely take all the races away, for thousands of years, in addition to cultivation, the heroes have never stopped refining magical treasures and defensive artifacts!
Before the Immortal Era, the environment of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths remained unchanged, supporting the birth of the Immortal Path.
Unfortunately, they were defeated in the war against the foreign lands, and their accumulated wealth of countless billions of years was completely plundered!
The entire cultivation civilization almost became spoils of war from foreign lands, with only a few precious techniques being exceptions.
Especially after the Immortal Ancient Era, the environment of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths changed drastically, making it impossible to become an immortal...
This is the most fatal blow!
In the realm of humanity, reaching the pinnacle and becoming a supreme being, even the invincible among them can only barely contend with a true immortal!
The conditions in other realms are so favorable that they have always produced immortal figures... Of course, in other realms, these are called immortals!
The Immortal King is the corresponding Celestial King.
In short, the number of immortals and immortal kings from other realms has increased over time.
On the other hand, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the few immortals who survived from the ancient times gradually perished or died in battle.
Of the seven kings of the original Imperial Pass and their followers from the True Immortal Realm, only one king remains today!
Even including the newly enlightened Cao Ya, Meng Tianzheng, and Shi Hao, there are only four of them.
There are more than four powerful figures from other lands!
Every supreme giant must have someone behind them!
There are many types of immortal kings, including ordinary immortal kings, supreme immortal kings, giant immortal kings, quasi-immortal kings, and true immortals from all walks of life!
Even if you are invincible among your peers, and your two fists can defeat four hands, you still can't defeat forty hands!
Therefore, there was almost no need for discussion regarding the evacuation; everyone in the entire country agreed without question.
If you escape into the Boundary Sea, there is still a glimmer of hope; if you stay here, it is certain death!
Everyone has their own scale in their heart when it comes to making a choice!
Naturally, they were so surprised and puzzled after hearing Cao Ya's words.
Meng Tianzheng, however, understood Cao Ya and knew he wouldn't speak without reason, so he was immediately moved.
"Could it be that you've taken another step forward?"
People's eyes lit up. If it were true... the original World Ancestor would be an unparalleled giant. Could it be that he would break through the King realm and become an Emperor? Well, that's unlikely, but to be able to take half a step beyond the limits of an unparalleled giant... that would undoubtedly be a dimensional reduction attack for many Immortal Kings!
The legendary heroes of the Boundary Sea, including butchers, chicken farmers, and fake medicine sellers, should be in this category.
"I guess so," Cao Ya nodded.
His own cultivation level is still stuck at the level of a supreme giant, and he has not yet broken through the barrier of becoming a broken king.
But in terms of overall strength, it has already surpassed it!
"Hiss!!!" The crowd gasped, immediately becoming excited.
"Now, we're going to have to fight the alien realm again!" the Skyhorned Ant chuckled. "Ten thousand years ago, I was relatively weak and couldn't fight any powerful experts. But now... if I don't kill five or six alien realm supreme beings, I'll lose face for the Skyhorned Ant clan!"
The Heavenly Horned Ant, through ten thousand years of cultivation, received much guidance, practiced diligently, and acquired numerous divine skills and unique techniques... In addition, his own talent and comprehension were unparalleled throughout history... Reaching the Supreme Realm was a natural progression.
He had even progressed far into the Supreme Realm, and if not for the heavens and earth's disapproval, he would probably be on the verge of becoming an immortal!
Unfortunately, his abilities were not yet sufficient to transcend the constraints of the world!
The Grand Elder possessed unparalleled talent and accumulated wisdom over countless millennia, enabling him to take the steps towards immortality.
As for the comprehension of the world's Dao Ancestor Cao Ya and Shi Hao... even the Heavenly Horned Ant is ashamed to admit that it cannot compare.
Not only Tianjiao Ant, but also emerging Supreme beings such as Kunpengzi, Qi Daolin, Shiguanwang, Zhexian, and Shiyi, as well as some other veteran Supreme beings, were very excited.
As long as the immortal figures from other realms can be stopped, they are confident that they can fight two or three against one in the battle of humanity!
Countless years of blood debt must be repaid with blood by foreign lands!
"We cannot be careless either," Meng Tianzheng said solemnly. "The history of foreign lands is untraceable."
"Beyond the supreme giants, there are very likely such ancient monsters in other realms as well!"
The king also said, "Some ancient kings from other realms attained enlightenment even before the Immortal Era."
"Yes, some have ventured deep into the Boundary Sea to seek the opportunity to break through to the King realm and become Emperor. They may have perished, but there must be one or two who have survived to this day. At crucial moments, they can return to the foreign realm and become the greatest asset!"
"Moreover, there are certain secrets of foreign lands..."
Even the most powerful figures would express deep apprehension upon mentioning it.
That was a great secret that even the kings of the ancient times could not fully explore!
It seems to be related to the origins of a foreign land!
"Even butchers, chicken farmers, and fake medicine sellers have concerns."
As the king's words fell, the heroes all changed color.
Even those powerful beings from the Boundary Sea couldn't figure out the true nature of the alien realm.
"Perhaps only the owner of those footprints on the boundary sea dike, that unknown emperor, could disregard everything and sweep across the foreign land!"
The king sighed and said:
"I don't mean to boost others' morale and diminish our own, but blind arrogance is also unacceptable."
"We need to understand that we are still at a disadvantage, and we must be very careful about our options and not be careless!"
"If things change, we can escape immediately!"
The assembled heroes solemnly listened to the teachings of the ancient immortal king.
Cao Ya nodded, but had a different opinion.
