Mysterious mirror hanging high

Yuwen Tianfu looked Jing Yu up and down and narrowed his eyes:

"Aside from your flawless physical body and Dharmakaya, and your remarkable foundation in the immortal path... you exude an air of poverty and poverty. You certainly don't look like someone with connections to the upper realms."

"But if what you said is true, and I am now a True Immortal, then it is possible that the Yuwen family has already parted ways with the Shending Immortal Dynasty."

"What do you mean?" Jing Yu asked curiously.

Yuwen Tianfu said, "The first generation of the Divine Cauldron Immortal Emperor ascended to the Immortal Realm 150,000 years ago. In just 150,000 years, his realm could only be the [Heavenly Immortal Realm], and it is definitely impossible for him to reach the True Immortal Realm."

"And if I reach the realm of True Immortal, how can I remain depressed and inferior to others for so long? I can either turn the tables and become the boss of the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty, or I can simply lead the Yuwen family away from the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty. There is no other possibility."

Jing Yu smiled and said, "My Lord is younger than the first generation Divine Cauldron Immortal Emperor. Hasn't he also reached the True Immortal realm?"

"It shouldn't be like that."

Yuwen Tianfu looked puzzled. "One hundred thousand years ago, Ying Taizu and I were both over fifty thousand years old, and both had reached the Mahayana stage. Actually, if you look at it that way, the difference in our cultivation speeds isn't that huge."

"In just a short period of 100,000 years, I've actually crossed the threshold of the Celestial Realm. Refining the false into the true? Extracting the true nature of the immortal path? Too fast."

"You must know that the lifespan of a Mahayana cultivator is 100,000 years, while the lifespan of a Celestial Immortal is as long as a million years! Even for a genius from a powerful force in the upper realm, achieving True Immortal status by 200,000 or 300,000 years is considered fast..."

"After I became a celestial being, I must have had a great opportunity, otherwise my cultivation wouldn't have improved so quickly." Yuwen Tianfu touched his chin and pondered.

A thought flashed through Jing Yu's mind: "Could this be an opportunity sent by the Buddha of Universal Salvation?"

But he complimented her, "Your Majesty, you have achieved the realm of True Immortal in just 150,000 years. You are truly a genius."

"It took me 150,000 years to become a true immortal. No wonder others say that I have the appearance of a golden immortal." Yuwen Tianfu laughed happily.

"Among the descendants of the Divine Tripod Emperor, only the first generation of Immortal Emperor [Ying Taizu] possessed exceptional talent. There were no outstanding talents among his descendants. The only one, the Divine Tripod Prince, whose talent and ability were comparable to Ying Taizu, was killed by that old man himself and turned into a monster."

Yuwen Tianfu sneered and said, "If I really ascend to the position of True Immortal, this old man will be jealous to the point of going crazy."

"From now on, you will always be shorter than my father when standing before him."

"This should be the reason why the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty has been continuously sending blessed lands to the lower realms."

Jing Yuyan said, "I'm afraid that Emperor Ying wanted to raise a talented and ascended cultivator with imperial blood in the lower realm."

"But in the past 100,000 years, no cultivator from the Shending Immortal Dynasty in the lower realm has ascended to the upper realm. Could it be that Emperor Ying Taizu had no suspicion at all? This is really strange." Jing Yu murmured.

Unexpectedly, Yuwen Tianfu said calmly: "There's nothing strange about this."

"Do you know what happened in the fairy world a hundred thousand years ago?"

"Back then... when we were just a group of Mahayana cultivators, we accidentally offended a direct descendant of a celestial immortal force in the immortal world."

"Later, for some unknown reason, that immortal force actually found the roots of our Shending Immortal Dynasty and located the landmark of the lower realm [Xianzhou Realm]."

"So, a purely destructive meteorite was launched into the Immortal Continent, wiping out all life in the entire Immortal Continent."

"We all thought that the [Xianzhou Realm] had become a [Death Realm], and that all the Divine Cauldron cultivators had perished in this catastrophe, so naturally, no one would ascend again."

Jing Yu's face was filled with astonishment. "Is this the truth behind the [Giant Star Falling from the Sky] a hundred thousand years ago? So the giant meteorite that destroyed the Immortal Continent wasn't summoned by an alchemist, nor was it a [heavenly punishment] brought down by the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty's perverse actions. Instead, it was sent by its enemies in the upper realm?"

"That's right." Yuwen Tianfu said quietly, "But after your group of cultivators entered Weiyang Heaven, I realized that things were far from simple. Not only did the Immortal Continent not become extinct, but it actually gave rise to a more prosperous immortal cultivation civilization."

"It's a pity that this spiritual clone doesn't share the same consciousness with my original body. Otherwise, my original body in the Immortal Realm should be able to send a few cultivators to the Immortal Continent Realm to investigate the situation."

"No, that's not right."

Jing Yu suddenly thought of a question and frowned, "There's a loophole... If the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty knew that all life in the [Immortal Continent] was extinct and that the descendants in the lower realms had long since died out, why did they continue to release various blessed caves and paradises here over the years?"

Yuwen Tianfu shook his head and laughed, "Do you think that blessed places like Weiyang Heaven are opportunities bestowed upon the descendants of the lower world by the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty? You are completely wrong!"

"These blessed places are actually..."

"It's for memorial service!"

"What?!" Jing Yu was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

Yuwen Tianfu curled his lips and said, "Or maybe he's some country bumpkin from some remote corner of the lower realm, looking so poor, yet he claims to have connections in the immortal world?"

"Even ordinary people burn paper money and gold ingots for their deceased relatives and friends during festivals like New Year and Qingming Festival. So why is it so strange for us immortals from the upper realm to send some secret caves and heavens to commemorate the deceased?"

"Of course, Emperor Ying Taizu probably also had a hopeful thought... What if the cultivators in the Immortal Continent weren't completely wiped out? Perhaps by obtaining the spiritual resources from these secret cave realms, he could ascend to the Immortal Realm and explain the situation in the Immortal Continent."

"But from what you've described, no one has ascended in the past 100,000 years? The Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty naturally believes that all descendants of the lower realm are gone."

"But...but...what's stored in this cave are real high-level spiritual resources!" Jing Yu was speechless.

"[Weiyangtian] seems to be of a very high status, but that's the perspective of you country bumpkins from the lower realm."

Yuwen Tianfu sneered, "In fact, the highest-ranking spiritual resource in this cave heaven is only at the level of a [Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact], which is the standard equipment for cave heaven cultivators. It is not too precious for a force with a Mahayana cultivator in charge."

He asked in return, "You are now at the Nascent Soul stage. Is it difficult for you to come up with a few Core Forming Spiritual Resources?"

"If Emperor Ying Taizu later achieved the Celestial Immortal Realm, then the Shending Immortal Dynasty would be a real immortal force, and there would be no pressure to send some worthless gadgets to the lower world."

"After all, things like news and spiritual resources are easier to get down than to get up."

"If cultivators from the lower realms want to pass on news to the immortal realm, there's almost no other way except to ascend themselves."

"The Immortal Dynasty wants to confirm whether there are any living beings in the lower world, so they can only use this stupid method."

Jing Yu asked in confusion, "If that's the case, why doesn't the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty simply send a cultivator down to investigate?"

"Because it's too expensive."

Yuwen Tianfu shook his head. "Living cultivators are the exact opposite of cave heaven secret realms. It's easier to get there than to get back down... Do you know how staggeringly expensive it is to send a Divine Transformation cultivator across to the lower realms? The spiritual resources consumed are nearly a thousand times greater than those contained in a cave heaven secret realm of the rank of Weiyang Heaven!"
