My son is about to break through.

The Purple Star Immortal Realm.

Nine heavens.

In the vast galaxy, there floats a huge continent, upon which countless celestial palaces stand.

In the four directions of the continent, there are four great heavenly gates, one in the east, one in the west, and one in the south, each guarded by heavily armed and divine generals.

Each Heavenly Gate is tens of thousands of feet tall, with the true forms of the four sacred beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—carved on its doors. Their divine might is like a prison, overwhelming the universe.

At the deepest part of this cluster of celestial palaces, the Supreme Celestial Palace stands tall, with boundless stellar power descending from chaos, dazzling like a vast galaxy, its myriad Daoist charms illuminating the heavens.

This.

That is where the Purple Star Immortal Court is located.

Inside Asgard.

Thirty-six towering jade pillars support the entire celestial palace. Each pillar is carved with depictions of mountains, rivers, and the lives of all people, exuding a terrifying and abyss-like Daoist aura.

Such a terrifying aura was enough to make even the Heavenly Venerable submit.

In the very center of the celestial palace stands an imperial throne carved from star-shaped purple jade, upon which sits a majestic and awe-inspiring figure. The invisible aura emanating from it can suppress the heavens and earth for eternity, causing all living beings to bow their heads.

Below it.

These were the many celestial officials.

now.

A celestial official stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, the army of the evil god clan has invaded, and the celestial realms under the jurisdiction of our Ziwei Celestial Court have fallen one after another. All forces within the Celestial Court are requesting assistance. We hope Your Majesty will make a decision!"

"Issue the order: command the Five Marshals, the Twelve Divine Officials, and the Twenty-Eight Constellations to lead 3.6 billion heavenly soldiers to immediately suppress the unrest!"

The Heavenly Emperor Ziwei spoke slowly, his calm words containing an undeniable authority.

The words fell.

Immediately, many celestial officials stepped forward from among the numerous celestial officials below.

"Your subject will obey the Heavenly Emperor's decree!"

The other celestial officials were also shaken upon seeing this.

Five Marshals!

Twelve priests!

These are all high-ranking members of the Purple Star Immortal Court.

To know.

In the Purple Star Immortal Court, the Heavenly Emperor is the supreme being, and below him are the Four Extreme Emperors.

Below the Four Emperors are the Five Marshals, the Twelve Divine Officials, and so on.

The fact that the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei has sent out all these powerful figures at once shows that he is furious.

at this time.

Then another celestial official stepped forward and asked in a deep voice: "The human race and the evil god race have been at odds for a long time. Over the years, although the two sides have fought fiercely, they have also exercised considerable restraint."

Now the evil god race is sparing no expense in its attack, even deploying evil gods at the level of god lords. Does the Heavenly Emperor know the reason for this?

The words fell.

The other celestial officials also looked puzzled.

this problem.

That's also what they're curious about.

After all.

The conflict between the two races lasted for countless years, and in the beginning, it nearly destroyed the entire Endless Immortal Realm.

Later, both sides maintained a tacit understanding. The powerful cultivators at the Seven Tribulation Grand Celestial Venerable level and above refrained from taking action, allowing the cultivators below to fight each other in order to determine the winner.

The reason for doing this is, of course, to reduce casualties.

Reaching the level of the Seventh Tribulation is a significant achievement for any party.

not to mention.

Everyone knows it.

Whether it's the evil god race or the human race, both have strong foundations, making it extremely difficult to truly destroy the other.

If we were to use all our resources to make a move, it would only result in mutual destruction.

Humanity is rife with internal strife, and the situation among the evil gods is not necessarily stable either.

Even if some evil gods want to destroy the human race, they still have to be wary of other forces within their own ranks.

For these reasons, it is rare for experts of the seventh tribulation level or above on both sides to make a move.

At the eighth or even ninth tribulation level, the frequency of attacks becomes even less.

Especially the Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable.

This level of enhancement would mean that it hasn't been used for at least tens of billions of years.

But now.

The evil god clan seemed to have gone mad.

It was one thing for a God Lord at the Seventh or Eighth Tribulation level to make a move, but even a God Lord at the Ninth Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerable level couldn't hold back and took action.

The downfall of the Cloud Sea Immortal Dynasty was orchestrated by the Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable.

This situation naturally inspires great apprehension.

After the celestial official finished speaking, the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei remained calm.

"An immortal from the evil god race is about to undergo the tribulation of immortality!"

As soon as these words came out.

All the celestial officials were deeply shaken.

Immortal Divine Tribulation!

This name was completely unfamiliar to them.

Many cultivators go through their entire lives without ever understanding what the Immortal Divine Tribulation is.

of course.

Hearing this from the mouth of the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor, they could vaguely understand that the so-called Immortal Divine Tribulation should be the tribulation that the Immortal Great Heavenly Venerable had to face.

Think of this.

One of the celestial officials couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the evil god race is about to produce another immortal god?"

If that's the case, then it's really troublesome.

After all, those at the Immortal level are the true pinnacle of existence in both races.

Having one more or one less are two different concepts.

To put it bluntly.

If the human race had one or two more immortals, they might even have a chance to reverse the tide. They might not be able to suppress the evil god race, but they could at least stand on equal footing, instead of suffering defeat after defeat as they are now.

even though.

Until now.

Neither side's top experts made a move; having one or two more Immortals or one or two fewer seemed to make little difference.

But that's not how it works.

If the human race could gain one or two more immortals, it would have a chance to make the evil god race give up, completely end the war, and allow each side to rule half of the immortal realm.

After all.

So-called peace is based on two situations.

One scenario is that one side becomes so powerful that it completely crushes and devours the other side, thus achieving so-called unification.

Either the two sides are evenly matched, and a full-scale war would inevitably result in mutual destruction, so both sides would be wary and would not rashly start a conflict.

The fundamental reason why the war has lasted for many years is that the human race is not as strong as the evil god race, but not to the point that the evil god race can easily crush them.

and so.

The war between the two tribes continued indefinitely.

originally.

The evil god clan is powerful.

In this situation, if the opponent were to produce another immortal being, it would be a truly devastating blow to the human race.

"Immortality is not so easy to achieve. Although there are many Ninth Tribulation Grand Venerables among the Evil God Clan, it is not an easy thing for them to truly take that step!"

The Heavenly Emperor Ziwei smiled disdainfully, seemingly not optimistic that the Evil God Clan could produce another Immortal God Lord.

The words fell.

He paused briefly before continuing.

"Upon reaching the level of immortality, one must undergo an immortal tribulation every 33,333,333 billion years."

"If one can overcome this tribulation, one's strength will advance further; if one fails, one will perish!" "Currently, some immortals within the evil god race are about to face this divine tribulation, which is why they have launched a large-scale invasion, attempting to plunder the origins of our human race to strengthen our foundation and prepare for the upcoming immortal divine tribulation!"

The words of the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor finally made the other celestial officials realize the truth.

That's it!

If it weren't for the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei mentioning it, they wouldn't have known that beings who have entered the realm of immortality must undergo the Immortal Tribulation every so often.

There are actually very few people who truly understand this kind of thing.

The reason is simple.

Three hundred and thirty trillion years—even for the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, that's an unimaginable number.

Such a long period of time is enough for many celestial beings to perish.

even though.

The Celestial Venerable is immortal and unaffected by the passage of time.

The problem is that such a long period of time is enough for all sorts of things to happen, and with the constant conflicts between the two races, the number of Celestial Venerables who can truly live for so long is ultimately very small.

Many more celestial beings perished during these long periods of time due to various accidents.

Take the current Ziwei Immortal Court as an example. Many celestial officials have stepped into the Heavenly Venerable Realm, but in reality, not a single Heavenly Venerable has survived from that era.

Precisely.

Even ordinary celestial officials don't have such profound knowledge and resources.

Only beings at the level of the Twelve Divine Officials, or even the Five Marshals, could live such a long life.

Therefore.

They had no idea about the secrets of such an immortal celestial being.

They only truly knew when the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei revealed it.

"So, if the immortals of the evil god race cannot overcome this calamity, they will lose one immortal god-king!"

Upon hearing this, the other celestial officials were also invigorated.

If there were one less immortal god, the pressure they faced would be greatly reduced.

The Heavenly Emperor Ziwei shook his head slightly: "That is true, but the immortals who are about to die are often the most insane. Why is it that the evil god race is stronger than the human race, yet it has never dared to push the human race to the brink of destruction?"

Ultimately, it's because they fear the immortality of the human race, fearing that the immortals of the human race will fight a desperate battle, sparing no expense to take action.

If it really comes to that point, even if they are both immortal beings, they wouldn't dare say they can escape unscathed.

The battle for immortality is one where a single move can have far-reaching consequences!

As the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei finished speaking, his tone became more solemn.

As soon as these words came out.

The atmosphere inside the celestial palace also became much more somber.

The words of the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei jolted them awake.

Not bad.

The immortal who is about to die is the most terrifying existence.

Even just thinking about it makes one understand how terrifying such beings are.

If such beings were to be targeted at any cost, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Heavenly Emperor Ziwei said, "However, this matter has not yet reached its final stage. Let us proceed slowly and methodically!"

"The Heavenly Emperor is wise!"

……

The Ziwei Celestial Court mobilized its army, led by the Five Marshals, with 3 billion troops divided into five routes to suppress the unrest in various celestial realms.

The once unstoppable evil god clan was suddenly attacked, and their previous advantages became weak and vulnerable in the face of the Ziwei Immortal Court's army.

It's been less than a century.

Within the territory of the Purple Star Immortal Court, most of the fallen immortal realms have been subdued.

not only that.

Even the evil gods at the level of god lords have lost no fewer than ten of them.

Until this moment.

Other forces suddenly realized that the Ziwei Immortal Court's foundation was truly terrifying.

all the time.

The Ziwei Immortal Court kept a low profile, suffering repeated defeats in the face of the evil god clan's attacks, without offering any effective resistance.

Many forces secretly speculated whether the Purple Star Immortal Court was already in decline and no longer possessed its former strength.

But when the Five Marshals took action to suppress everything, these forces discovered that the Ziwei Immortal Court was still the same Ziwei Immortal Court.

The opponent was like a sleeping tiger awakening, its sharp fangs tearing the entire evil god clan to shreds.

For a while.

The morale of the human race was greatly boosted.

All sides rose up in retaliation.

Simultaneously.

The good news from the Ziwei Immortal Court spread throughout the endless immortal realms.

Many humans were encouraged upon hearing this news, and even when faced with a large-scale invasion by the evil gods, they managed to withstand the enemy's offensive.

……

"The Purple Star Celestial Court!"

Gu Yang, who was originally in seclusion, has now temporarily emerged from seclusion. Looking at the many messages coming from the court, his expression was somewhat subtle.

"Interesting. Since the Purple Star Immortal Court has such strength, why did it hold back before? Is it only to catch the Evil God Clan off guard now?"

Thinking of this, Gu Yang couldn't help but shake his head.

Do it.

There's actually no benefit to it.

at this time.

Nan Haoran stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Highness, the Ziwei Immortal Court has launched a counterattack, greatly boosting the morale of the human race and showing signs of reversing their decline."

"Given the current situation, should we seize this opportunity to expel all the evil gods from the territory of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty?"

"Do not--"

After a moment's thought, Gu Yang directly rejected the suggestion.

"The Ziwei Immortal Court's counterattack came suddenly, and there may be some purpose behind it. The evil god clan's large-scale attack earlier was also without any warning."

The matter is definitely not that simple.

The Xuantian Immortal Dynasty has been established for too short a time and has a weak foundation. If it makes a wrong move, it may lose everything.

At times like these, it's crucial to avoid impulsive actions!

The words fell.

Gu Yang paused for a moment, then said, "Pass down the order: all parties in the Immortal Dynasty shall proceed as usual and shall not act without authorization, lest the Evil God Clan find a weakness."

Everything is proceeding according to the original plan!

Seeing Gu Yang's resolute attitude, the other celestial officials opened their mouths, wanting to say something in rebuttal, but in the end they did not actually speak.

As for Nan Haoran, after a moment's thought, he retreated again.

Gu Yang's words do make some sense.

The sudden attack by the Evil God Clan and the unexpected counterattack from the Purple Star Immortal Court make it impossible to say there's nothing wrong with this.

The Xuantian Immortal Dynasty is currently walking on the edge of a cliff, with every step as if treading on thin ice. If they take the wrong step, they may fall into the abyss.

Compared to other ancient powers, the biggest problem of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty is its weak foundation.

Other forces may make a mistake and have the opportunity to learn from it, but the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty does not have such a foundation.

One wrong step.

All is lost.

The best course of action is to remain unchanged in the face of all changes, maintain the current situation, and buy as much time as possible for the Immortal Dynasty. This is the most advantageous course of action for the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Nan Haoran felt somewhat ashamed.

Ultimately, one's own considerations are not as comprehensive as those of the Crown Prince.

at this time.

He finally understood why the Immortal Emperor would entrust Gu Yang with overseeing the country and handling the affairs of the Immortal Dynasty. With Gu Yang's abilities and temperament, he was fully capable of undertaking this important task.

If I had to point out any drawback, it would probably be that my cultivation level is somewhat lacking. (End of Chapter)
