"It's already come to this?" Cao Ya asked.
Meng Tianzheng nodded.
"According to intelligence from the front lines, the border pass is indeed extremely difficult to cross; the appearance of immortals could threaten to breach the pass at any moment..."
Meng Tianzheng exhaled and noticed Cao Ya's thoughtful expression. He paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was going on and said, "That's my old friend, the supreme being of a non-immortal family. He has always taken care of the growth of various geniuses and has also been advising on the overall development of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
"Don't worry, they won't defect, much less spread false information."
Upon hearing this, Cao Ya nodded slightly.
Meng Tianzheng continued, "After I left, the situation at Tianshen Academy... to be honest, I was a little worried."
After a pause, Meng Tianzheng, his expression somewhat melancholic, sighed and continued:
"You should also know that some forces in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are secretly colluding with other realms and also contacting the Immortal Realm, hedging their bets on both."
"But ironically, they have no confidence in their hometown and no attachment to it whatsoever."
Cao Ya nodded.
Such are the cases of various longevity families, such as the Wang family, the Jin family, and the Feng family.
On one hand, they contacted powerful clans in the Immortal Realm, seeking opportunities to enter it. On the other hand, they colluded with other realms. If the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were destroyed and they could not enter the Immortal Realm, they could transform themselves into powerful clans in other realms, continue to rule a vast region, and look down upon the world from above.
Of course, before things were exposed, or rather, before the signs of defeat in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were fully revealed, they would not openly defect, but would still send people and resources to the Imperial Pass.
As for whether they will take action and strike against a powerful enemy from another region...
That's a different story.
In fact, many geniuses without any background are being suppressed by the immortal families, such as Shi Hao.
Meng Tianzheng's intervention could intimidate the immortal families, but because of the Grand Elder's temperament, he always showed leniency to his own people and would not take drastic measures unless absolutely necessary. Therefore, these immortal families were also fearless.
Most importantly, within the Changsheng family, there must be a supreme being suppressing its power.
People like Wang Changsheng, who can rival Meng Tianzheng, are both invincible in the Supreme Realm!
Cao Ya, however, is different.
He was born in the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm. This Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was merely a place for him to train. Of course, because of the relationship between the Eight Regions and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it could also be considered his hometown.
But when he took action, he showed no mercy and was ruthless and decisive.
Another point is that Cao Ya's strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, seemingly reaching the level of immortals.
Back then, when the Changsheng Clan suppressed geniuses like Shi Hao and Cao Yusheng who lacked powerful backgrounds, Cao Ya responded to the news and ruthlessly killed a group of Changsheng Clan cultivators.
Xu Dao, Zhan Wo, and Dun Yi all suffered casualties. Even the Supreme One was severely injured by Cao Ya. If Meng Tianzheng and Wang Changsheng hadn't stepped in, and if the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths hadn't lacked combat power, and if Cao Ya at that time hadn't been at the level of a top-tier True Immortal, he would have had many concerns and ultimately held back a move.
Otherwise, some of the supreme beings of the Changsheng family might have been killed by Cao Ya.
Since then, the atmosphere in the nine heavens and ten earths has finally changed.
While the suppression by various powerful forces cannot be said to be completely prohibited, it is not as rampant and arrogant as before.
Because he was wary of Cao Ya, he exercised some restraint.
“I haven’t been to the borderlands yet,” Cao Ya suddenly said.
Meng Tianzheng was taken aback, and immediately shook his head, saying, "No! You are the greatest hope of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and a thorn in the side of the alien realms. Those immortals would definitely love for you to go to the borderlands. Only when you die will a thorn in their hearts be completely removed!"
Before Cao Ya possessed overwhelming strength, countless assassinations and ambushes occurred.
Basically, they were all spies from other realms, or colluding with forces from other realms. Under the promises of other realms—some even directly giving them divine skills, treasures, and divine weapons—it should be noted that in the ancient era, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were conquered by other realms. Countless ancient immortal techniques were harvested by other realms. Even a small part of them would be enough to make people envious—so they sent people to assassinate Cao Ya.
However, they underestimated Cao Ya and Meng Tianzheng.
Later, Cao Ya became stronger and entered the Supreme Realm, making him even more fearless of any assassins.
Now, Cao Ya is no match for even immortals from other lands.
Therefore, such assassinations gradually disappeared later, but they existed in large numbers in the early stages.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Cao Ya, the pioneer of the Creation Law, possessed terrifying talent and comprehension.
It is very possible that the curse that forbids immortality in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths can be broken!
Even reaching the realm of Immortal King!
This so-called Creation Law is different from the current and ancient laws of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths of the Perfect World universe, as well as the ancient immortal laws passed down from the Immortal Ancient Era.
However, it was not actually created by Cao Ya.
In fact, it is the martial arts system of the world of "Nine Cauldrons Chronicles" that has been deduced and perfected. It opens up the world from within, comprehends the laws of heaven and earth, and perfects the interface within the Niwan Palace. Step by step, it will develop from the prototype of the world into a small world, a large world, and even has the potential to grow into a universe!
Those supreme beings in the world of "Nine Cauldrons" and Cao Ya from "Nine Cauldrons" were later captured and drawn to the universe after their ascension for some reason. In the more vast and higher-level universe, many powerful beings rose up, all of whom had perfected their own Niwan Palace world to a very high degree, reaching the peak of four-star or five-star.
Furthermore, the road beyond the five-star level is not interrupted.
Achieving six or seven stars is not impossible, provided one has sufficient comprehension.
In truth, Cao Ya of [Perfect World] stood on the shoulders of giants, already enjoying a privilege, yet in this world, he reaped the greatest fame. He occasionally felt a pang of guilt when he thought about it, and thus had to diligently cultivate and strengthen his power to better live up to people's praise as the "Ancestor of Creation Laws."
Clearly, this creation method, after being preached and refined by Cao Ya in the Perfect World, and modified due to the environment of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, is very suitable for cultivation by all races.
Cao Ya from [Perfect World] has at least mastered the ancient and modern techniques to the supreme level, reaching the five-star level.
His vision and understanding of the world are quite profound, and his cultivation is considerable.
Under such circumstances, how could the promising Creation Law not spread widely?
Ancient Immortal Method, Modern Ancient Method, and World Creation Method are almost equally popular choices for countless cultivators.
Most importantly, the Creation World Method does not conflict with the previous two cultivation methods and can be practiced simultaneously—as long as one has sufficient aptitude and comprehension!
Over the years, Cao Ya has stayed at the Tianshen Academy, diligently cultivating himself while occasionally preaching and spreading his teachings.
According to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, all of these changes are due to the new cultivation paths.
Meng Tianzheng is also practicing the Creation World Technique, and his skill level is quite high.
Within the Heavenly God Academy, there are actually quite a few individuals with profound attainments in the Creation Realm Technique.
After all, they were all masters of ancient or modern immortal techniques, possessing a commanding perspective and an understanding of various laws of heaven and earth. They could draw inferences from one instance to another, so their cultivation speed naturally advanced by leaps and bounds, changing every day.
That's why they came to understand even more how terrifying Cao Ya, the "founder of the Creation Law," truly was.
Moreover, Cao Ya's own strength later reached an unbelievable level.
Meng Tianzheng had sparred with Cao Ya before, but he was no match for him!
It should be noted that Meng Tian is currently at the Supreme Realm, an invincible being. Even if he goes to the Immortal Realm or the Other Realm, where the lineage is unbroken and the path of immortality is still unbroken, he will still be a Supreme of the highest level!
Even Wang Changsheng of the Changsheng Wang family is at most on par with Meng Tianzheng.
They pondered that even if ancient immortals and immortal kings were resurrected and reached the supreme level, they would not be above Meng Tianzheng!
It is obvious that Cao Ya's strength has transcended the realm of humanity.
The Supreme Being represents the pinnacle of the human realm, and the invincible one in the Supreme Being realm is the most powerful human cultivator!
After that, it no longer belonged to the realm of humanity, but entered the realm of immortality.
Of course, in a different context, it would be called the Realm of Immortality.
Therefore, Meng Tianzheng and a few others who knew Cao Ya's true power were excited. They felt that with Cao Ya around, given enough time, he might be able to break through to the True Immortal realm, attain the Immortal King realm, and become comparable to the True Dragon, the leader of the Ten Fiends, as well as the top powerhouses from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Immortal Ancient Era, such as the Endless Immortal King, the Immortal Monk King, and the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King!
Besides that, there was something else that surprised them.
Judging from Cao Ya's example, the Creation Law seems to be able to avoid the calamities of darkness, unlike the Ancient Immortal Law and the Modern Law. If one takes that step to reach the pinnacle of humanity, one will be blocked by misfortune. Like the sages of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, such as the Demon Lord, Ye Qianyu, Mu Wudao, and the Ice Lord, they disappeared during the process of breaking through to True Immortal and never appeared again. They were basically declared dead, corrupted by darkness and fell into ruin.
Everyone was looking forward to the moment when they had reached a level comparable to the Supreme Realm in the Path of Creation, and the next step was to try to advance to the Immortal Realm, which might lead to success.
Perhaps, it all depends on the individual's skill and experience.
There is no need to worry about the so-called encroachment of darkness.
Of course, Meng Tianzheng and the others also had concerns. What if they were to unknowingly discover the origins of the Creation Law, and the natural changes would once again obstruct the Ascended Immortals...
An ominous darkness has shrouded the heavens and earth for countless eons. There are even rumors that countless universes, regardless of whether they are large or small realms, including immortal realms and other realms, are all threatened by the darkness. In the future, a great dark calamity that will sweep across the sea of realms may very well erupt!
No one can explain how such a calamity came about.
It's impossible to say what kind of amazing changes might occur.
With a combination of factors, Meng Tianzheng and his group did not want Cao Ya's true strength to be exposed, and they would hide it for as long as possible.
Moreover, it can also prevent the alien realm from becoming extremely wary after learning about it, and from having multiple immortal kings, comparable to celestial kings, launch a strong attack on the border imperial pass, attempting to break through the Heavenly Abyss's blockade.
Everyone believed that if the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were given ample time to develop the Ancient Immortal Law, the Modern Ancient Law, and the Creation Law, more experts would surely emerge, and many heroes might attain the status of great power in the Immortal Dao realm, comparable to the prosperous period of the Ancient Immortal Era.
Among the younger generation, such as Shi Hao, the Ten-Crown King, the Immortal, Shi Yi, the Heavenly Horned Ant, Cao Yusheng, and the Taiyin Jade Rabbit, are all very talented young people who are expected to surpass the Supreme.
Their growth, clearly, takes time.
"Isn't it... too risky? With Tianyuan here, any being above the Immortal realm from another dimension who dares to cross over will inevitably cause misfortune, be sucked into Tianyuan, and disappear completely. Even the Immortal King doesn't dare to force his way in," Meng Tianzheng said, advising Cao Ya.
With the protection of the Heavenly Abyss, even those stronger than the Immortals of other realms cannot cross boundaries.
Even if all sorts of supreme beings came to attack, Meng Tianzheng thought to himself that with their strength, he could still stop them.
For countless eons, without the Creation Law or Cao Ya, didn't they still manage to block it?
Moreover, as Meng Tianzheng assessed the various divine powers within his body, he secretly thought that after practicing the Creation World Technique and combining it with the original Ancient Immortal Technique and Ancient Modern Technique, his combat power had reached an incredible level, taking another leap forward.

Even immortals dare to fight!
“Times have changed,” Cao Ya sighed. He knew very well that the Creation Law was a major threat to the alien realm.
"The Ancient Immortal Method originally pointed directly to the realm of immortality. It is not only for true immortals, but also for powerful figures who have cultivated to the level of Immortal King."
"However, in the war at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were defeated, and all kinds of precious techniques, divine skills and unique arts were harvested by the foreign lands."
"After countless millennia of research, the secrets of the ancient immortal techniques have long been deciphered."
"Now, due to the dark and ominous problems that followed the Immortal Ancient Era, no true immortal-level figures have emerged, and thus, the ancient methods cannot truly threaten the alien realm."
"According to the existing logic, the emergence of the Creation Law could potentially lead to the emergence of True Immortals."
"Most importantly, the other realms failed to control the very essence of the Creation Law."
At this point, Cao Ya looked at Elder Meng Tianzheng and said softly, "Elder, do you think the alien realm will just let this go and watch us develop?"
Meng Tianzheng fell silent.
The answer to this question is obvious.
Since they are mortal enemies, how could the foreign lands simply stand by and watch without any reaction?
Even if the immortals and immortal kings can't come, all kinds of supreme beings will definitely be mobilized, far exceeding the numbers of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, to break through the Imperial Pass with absolute superiority.
At the supreme level, the alien realm has a complete heritage, and there are immortal kings and immortals preaching the Dao. Undoubtedly, in the realm below the Immortal Path, when it comes to the number of experts, the alien realm still leads the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
However, in the past, there was no large-scale military action in the foreign lands. Some people appeared in the remote borderlands to hone their skills, which was also a way to train troops.
But now that they've sensed a threat, the alien realm will naturally not hold back.
This can be seen from the appearance of the immortals.
Cao Ya even believed that there was definitely an Immortal King in the other realm who had awakened from slumber or seclusion and was ready to set off at any time to descend upon the borderlands beyond the Imperial Pass.
How difficult it would be for someone of that caliber to be stopped by the entire universe?
As the only immortal expert at present, Cao Ya's presence at the Imperial Pass would greatly boost the morale of his side.
Not to mention, he can also defeat all kinds of immortals.
"The foreign lands see us as easy targets, using us to hone our prodigies and help them improve, thus identifying their shortcomings..."
Cao Ya sneered as he spoke, saying, "We must slaughter them all and wipe out the immortals from the alien realm to properly repay our blood debt!"
Meng Tianzheng paused for a moment, then exhaled and laughed, saying, "Things have come to this point, and there's no use in being cowardly. Let's have a big battle."
"We cultivators have never been afraid!"
"We must ensure that the supreme ruler of that foreign land never returns!"
At this moment, Meng Tianzheng appeared to be full of fighting spirit and unyielding.
