A large golden path emerged from the sky. Qing Feng stood behind Tranquil Primate Sage and instantly saw Cen Shuang in the palace hall.

 

He could not help but be excited. His worries had finally been lifted off his chest.

 

He was relieved that Cen Shuang was safe. He had been anxious along the way, worried that he would see something horrible.

 

Noticing his expression, Fen Ruo said with a smile, “It seems that she’s the Junior Sister you’re always talk about, Senior Brother Qing Feng.”

 

“It’s really hard not to worry about her, considering her temperament. I’m worried that she’ll do silly things when I’m not around. It seems like I can be relieved now.” Qing Feng smiled helplessly.

 

Tranquil Primate Sage stood somewhere else and looked at the other disciples in silence. He seemed scornful of the living beings in this True World.

 

They came from the Nine Heavens, so their existences were incalculably more profound and deep than the natives of the Prosperous Dao True World.

 

In the Nine Heavens, other than the ruler of each Heavenly Layer, there were also many powerful cultivators. Some of them were Dao Realm experts who lived in seclusion and focused on the pursuit of the Great Dao.

 

Although the Prosperous Dao True World was special, it was merely a Nascent True World. Its power and foundation were not worth their attention.

 

Gu Wuwang, Ming, and Drunken Sword Immortal had learned of Tranquil Primate Sage’s intention, but they did not let their guard down.

 

After all, he was also a Dao Realm experr. Gu Wuwang felt that Tranquil Primate Sage was only slightly weaker than he was.

 

Tranquil Primate Sage pressed his palms together. As a monk, he looked solemn and amiable. He said with compassion, “Don’t worry, Fellow cultivators. I’ve only come to this world as per my disciple’s request to help resolve the disaster. If I knew the three of you were here, I wouldn’t have been so worries. Many years ago, I stepped out of the Immortal Domain and accidentally arrived at the Nine Heavens. I only attained such cultivation after overcoming many obstacles and Tribulations.”

 

He was indeed surprised by this discovery. He initially thought that there was only a Quasi-Dao Realm experts in this Nascent True World. He had believed that person to be the horrifying Demon Lord that Qing Feng had mentioned.

 

His first disciple, Fen Ruo, was able to easily suppress a Quasi-Dao Realm Master. Thus, he would not even need to make a move.

 

Much to his surprise, when he approached the True World, he discovered the presence of three Dao Realm experts. One of them was even slightly stronger than him.

 

This surprised him. It was no wonder the Eternal Dao Monarch noticed this place, for it was indeed special.

 

“With your help now, we’ll have a higher chance of succeeding.” Gu Wuwang nodded. They were Dao Realm experts, after all. They found out about each other’s backgrounds after coming into contact.

 

He was surprised to learn that the Tranquil Primate Sage was from the Nine Heavens. After all, Gu Wuwang too had left the Nine Heavens to build up his lineage in the outside world. Hence, Gu Wuwang wondered if Tranquil Primate Sage was aware of the Gu Family in the Nine Heavens.

 

Soon, they arrived at the hall. The leaders of the different Forces had been waiting for a long time. They were shocked and doubtful.

 

They were not familiar with Tranquil Primate Sage and the disciples behind him. Some of their auras were so intimidating that they did not seem to come from this world. They were Immortal Emperors. It was a mystery as to how many epochs they have been cultivating.

 

Wang Wushang was astounded, not knowing where these people came from. Still, he calmly asked, “Who are they, Senior?”

 

Gu Wuwang took a look at him and swept a glance over the people in the hall before saying, “He’s the Tranquil Primate Sage from the Nine Heavens. He has arrived at the Prosperous Dao True World to help us fend off the enemies and stop the disaster. The people behind him are his disciples. They are all powerful individuals, every single one of them.”

 

Other than Fen Ruo who was one step away from the Dao Realm, the rest of Tranquil Primate Sage’s disciples were in the Immortal Emperor Realm or Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm. They were practically the strongest cultivators in the Prosperous Dao True World.

 

“Greetings, Fellow Cultivators.” Tranquil Primate Sage pressed his palms together and smiled. As a monk, he was gentle and patient when speaking to anyone he come around.

 

The people around him seemed to have been inspired by his words. They seem to be swayed, having some inclination to become monks as well.

 

Still, upon hearing the contents of his words, the leaders were all shocked. The key detail was too hard to not focus on. Many found it simply inconceivable.

 

“He’s from the Nine Heavens?” Wang Wushang was flabbergasted. He did not expect these people to have such a powerful background.

 

When he was still in the Reverse Meditation True World, the Nine Heavens was already known to exist. It was said to be the source of Immortality that it held the secrets of Immortality. There were countless powerful cultivators, and the power of the Nine Heavens was simply unimaginable.

 

Even Immortal True Worlds were not comparable to a Transcendent Land such as the Nine Heavens.

 

The arrival of Tranquil Primate Sage surprised Wang Wushang. He felt that things were getting out of his control.

 

In the hall, the leaders of the Forces were astounded. They had not recovered from their shock. Even people like Ao Teng and Ao Ling, who came from the Primordial Mythical Era, were astonished.

 

Tranquil Primate Sage did not put on airs just because he was a Dao Realm expert. Instead, he was down-to-earth as he explained his relationship with the Immortal Domain.

 

Just then, Qing Feng stepped forward and narrated his tale. After leaving the Immortal Domain, he found the Nine Heavens through the clue left behind by Ancestors of the Immortal Palace. After that, he became a disciple of Tranquil Primate Sage.

 

Upon hearing that, these people were no longer puzzled. They started becoming elated and thrilled. After all, Tranquil Primate Sage was also a Dao Realm expert like Gu Wuwang and the others. Furthermore, he had many powerful disciples.

 

Their chances of successfully guarding the Prosperous Dao True World had increased tremendously.

 

Since Tranquil Primate Sage was merely fulfilling a request, he did not mind these matters. However, when he heard the name Heavenslayers Alliance, he felt his eyebrows twitching. His amiable expression turned solemn as he was stunned.

 

The disciples behind him were taken aback as they could not believe what they had just heard.

 

“Don’t panic, fellow cultivator. We didn’t name it. It was the Alliance Leader who did it.”

 

Gu Wuwang had no choice but to explain it to Tranquil Primate Sage when he saw how shocked the latter was.

 

He knew what the name Heavenslayers Alliance implied. When he heard Gu Changge’s decision back then, he was shocked as well, feeling that they were unable to bear the horrifying consequences. Therefore, it was only natural that Tranquil Primate Sage was astounded.

 

Tranquil Primate Sage’s first disciple, Fen Ruo, said in astonishment, “He’s pretty bold to use this name. What’s more, it’s actually been established and it has become influential. The mysterious Alliance Leader is really something.”

 

As far as she was concerned, the Force built by Eternal Dao Monarch in the Nine Heavens was named the Heavenslayer Sect.

 

They invited many powerful cultivators in the Expanse Domain in the name of waging war against Heaven.

 

Eternal Dao Monarch’s name suggested that he was a being who had gone through many Decay Tribulation. No one knew how powerful he truly was.

 

Only an existence like him had the right and audacity to bear the horrifying karma. He was not afraid of any backlash, or anything that tried to stop him for that matter.

 

The Heavenslayer Sect was famous across the Nine Heavens. Many in the Immortal True Worlds were afraid of them.

 

Now, in this particular Nascent True World, someone had the guts to use such a name, and he had not suffered any backlash yet.

 

The mysterious Alliance Leader was probably powerful enough to avoid any backlash. Apart from that, Fen Ruo could not think of other possibilities.

 

This made her curious. It seemed that the Demon Lord that Qing Feng had mentioned was probably not just a being who was one step away from the Dao Realm.

 

The three Dao Realm Masters in this place were obviously respectful of him. Only the most powerful cultivators could be their leader. The mysterious Alliance Leader must be significantly more powerful than them to make them respect him.

 

Tranquil Primate Sage finally recovered from his shock, knowing that he had lost his composure. He pressed his palms together and said, “If there’s a chance, I’d like to meet the mysterious Alliance Leader.”

 

Qing Feng was dumbfounded as well. He did not expect such drastic changes to happen after he left the Immortal Domain years ago.

 

“I’ll explain these matters in detail to you later, Senior Brother Qing Feng.” Cen Shuang said.

 

Even she felt that the changes that had happened in the past few years could be described as surreal, like it was a dream.

 

Although they were surprised by the arrival of Tranquil Primate Sage, it was a pleasant one. Since there was nothing else, the various leaders left with their people to get prepared for what was to come.

 

Tranquil Primate Sage and the others stayed in the Heavenslayers Alliance for the time being.

 

Ni Chen was not certain about Tranquil Primate Sage’s background, so he could only stay put and observe him. He decided to tide through the upcoming crisis first.

 

Soon, this matter caused a commotion in the Prosperous Dao True World, and the news spread to the other universes.

 

Everyone started getting prepared, with murderous intent filling the universes.

 

Many soldiers who were clad in armour and holding all sorts of weapons streamed out of their places and stepped into the Starry Sky, ready for the war.

 

They were shrouded in a solemn atmosphere before the war. Many people saw that beyond the skies, a strange structure was approaching. It was vague and nihilistic as though it could devour light.

 

Humming sounds were heard. In the depths of territories in different universes, dazzling doors of light opened. These doors were covered in Immortal Mists and vast fluctuations of Space Principles.

 

Ancient soldiers hurtled out of these doors of light as though they had come to slaughter countless people.

 

These were Immortal Guards, who had made a name for themselves in that ancient great war to go against the Great Purge..

 

Rumbling sounds could be heard as countless ancient battleships and boats gathered in the skies of other various territories. The lands and skies were full of beasts.

 

Divine light penetrated the sky, making the scene look magnificent.

 

Countless soldiers marched forward; disciples nurtured by the different Forces in the Prosperous Dao True World.

 

Countless howls could be heard. Massive purplish bronze battleships were rapidly heading to the Boundless Battlefield out of the Immortal Domain.

 

Many cultivators and soldiers gathered on these purplish bronze battleships. Their murderous intent penetrated the skies. All their leaders were at least in the True Immortal Realm, as they lead their men to the Boundless Battlefield.

 

In the mountains, lakes, and forests, countless powerful ancient beasts were sprinting forward. Flying in the sky, these beasts shaded the ground from the sunlight as they carried with them ancient auras.

 

Towering figures were riding on those ancient beasts. They were clad in clothes made from hide. Their bulging muscles showed how sturdy their bodies were, and they were full of vitality. They were no different from Demon Gods.

 

They were people who came from a remote universe. They had the characteristics of an Ancient Divine Clan, with traces of stars between their brows.

 

Divine lights beamed from ancient stars filled with life. Powerful auras spilt in different directions like a volcanic eruption.

 

Many Immortal and Supreme Forces like the Ancient Immortal Clans, Immortal Academy, Immortal Qin Family, Immortal Chen Family, and Supreme Sects were gathering their most powerful people.

 

Cultivators born in the Forbidden Epoch and the following epochs usually cultivated reclusively, but they were now all going to war.

 

Even those from the Primordial Mythical Era like the Golden Rocs, Phoenixes, Primordial Dragon Clan, and Primordial Qilins were also sending powerful cultivators over.

 

The crisis this time should not be taken lightly. Once the Prosperous Dao True World fell, all of them would be in danger.

 

They understood that when their world fell apart, no one would be able to preserve their life.

 

A divine light was traversing across the depths of a universe. Gu Xianer, who had arrived at the Immortal Domain from the Upper Realm, was heading to the headquarters of the Heavenslayers Alliance to find out Gu Changge’s whereabouts. That was when she learned of the imminent war.

 

All Forces in the Prosperous Dao True World were getting prepared and gathering soldiers to deal with the upcoming crisis.

 

When she arrived at the Immortal Domain, she saw many ancient battleships skirting past her and penetrating the universe to head to the depths of the Immortal Domain.

 

These battleships were led by True Immortal Realm Masters at the very least, and there were incalculable number of cultivators on each ship.

 

This forced Gu Xianer to temporarily change her goal. She still had to look for Gu Changge and save Tao Yao, but she had to get through this crisis first. Otherwise, if the Prosperous Dao True World was destroyed, she would also lose her life. If that happened, how was she supposed to do anything else?

 

“Everyone is going to a place called the Boundless Battlefield. That’s the first spot where the enemies will arrive. All Forces are sending their most powerful cultivators to guard that place.”

 

Gu Xianer soon got some news.

 

Considering her current power, even though she could not change anything, she could still be immensely useful during the war.
