Wei Yusheng was stunned.

No way, can it be done like this?

Although he wanted to stay in the Mortal World and accumulate more foundation, or perhaps even reach a higher realm before ascending, he knew that might not be possible for him without great opportunities.

Just his current level was attributed to an opportunity he obtained during the Righteous-Demonic War. Had it not been for that, he might have not even reached the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

"Don’t worry about resources, just cultivate and then ascend after reaching the peak of Tribulation Transcendence Realm. You won’t need to undergo a Lightning Tribulation if you ascend in the Eternal Peak."

As if seeing through his thoughts, Tian Yongheng casually explained. In fact, his Dao Field covered a range far beyond just the Eternal Peak, but he couldn’t be bothered to explain more.

Wei Yusheng’s mind felt as if hit by a hammer, eyes widening in shock.

No need to undergo tribulation when ascending? Just what kind of holy place is the Eternal Peak?

Even the top forces of the Upper Realm probably didn’t have methods that could allow one to evade Lightning Tribulations except for those dazzling once in a era figures with talent reaching the heavens!

He was immensely shaken, feeling like his thousands of years of experience was merely a joke in front of the other party, completely overturning his understanding.

Is this what it means to be a supreme great power? I must cling tightly to this mighty figure no matter what!

He secretly reminded himself for the thousandth time since meeting Tian Yongheng.

Immediately, he bowed deeply, speaking in a reassuring tone, "I will definitely not disappoint the venerable."

Tian Yongheng waved his hand, indicating for Wei Yusheng to leave as he stood up.

After Wei Yusheng disappeared, Tian Yongheng stared up at the firmament for a while before coming back to his senses.

More than one Immortal Deity had developed hatred towards him in the previous great battle.

When the time came, they would definitely make things difficult for him or for those around him.

He won’t ascend to the Upper Realm for the time being, but nothing could be said about the future. Not to mention, he couldn’t keep those close to him in the Dao Field forever; they would inevitably have to leave one day and ascend to the vast Upper Realm when the time came.

Although there were those Immortal Gods who developed favorability towards him as well, he couldn’t leave his safety in their hands.

Thus, he had already started making moves against the Upper Realm.

At least, he wouldn’t be completely clueless once a certain situation arose. This was the main reason why he urged Wei Yusheng to ascend so quickly aside from wanting information about the Five-Elemental Divine Spiritual Physique and powers like the Heavenly Yang Family.

His gaze shifted, looking in the direction of the Imperial Palace in the distance.

The National Teacher of this dynasty, called the Great Qian, had been trying to impact the Foundation Establishment Realm for the past 3 years, leading to ambitious figures causing unrest.

As for how Tian Yongheng knew?

This National Teacher appeared in the annual new year celebration every year before, and that was the only chance for the countless commoners to see this exalted Immortal Master.

However, he hadn’t made an appearance for the past three years.

Others might not know, but how could he not?

The only reason a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator would be absent for so long was because they were either preoccupied with something and not present, or because they were in seclusion trying to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

A Qi Condensation Realm cultivator had a lifespan of 400 years, but even then, their mental state was not strong enough to handle decade long seclusions.

And minor realm breakthroughs only took a few months at most.

Tian Yongheng knew this fellow was within the capital because even without using his supernatural abilities, he could still sense the presence of a Qi Condensation peak human.

There was no helping it; he was a Human Immortal standing at the pinnacle of mortal cultivation, with half a foot into the Immortal Dao Domain.

However, in the end, all of this had nothing to do with him.

And so, another three years passed.

The National Teacher failed his Foundation Establishment breakthrough and was severely injured, recuperating within the Imperial Palace.

Rebellions erupted in the further provinces one after another, with shadows of Immortal Cultivators behind them.

A vast dynasty, despite only being a secular one, was extremely tempting for any Acupoint Opening Stage or Qi Condensation Realm Rogue Cultivator.

For them, beside joining a cultivation force, taking control of a mortal dynasty was the best option to search widely for resources for them while they cultivated in peace, greatly reducing the difficulties of cultivation.

There was a reason why most dynasties in the mortal world had the shadows of cultivation forces or Immortal Cultivators behind them.

Specially in the recent century, when the Immortal Cultivation World was now fully unveiled before the secular world due to the aftereffects of the Righteous-Demonic War.

If a vast dynasty like Great Qian had a peak Qi Condensation expert like the National Teacher, there would naturally be no problem.

But since he had now failed his breakthrough and suffered great damage, countless nearby cultivators in the later stages of Qi Condensation Realm were interested.

Tian Yongheng sighed.

He naturally had no intention of meddling in these matters. He was experiencing life, not playing the underdog to slap everyone’s faces and reveal his Half Immortal status.

Since things had come to this, he was going to leave the Great Qian Dynasty. He still had to travel for a while to reach the State of Jiang.

However, just as he was thinking of this, a knock sounded on his door.

Opening the door, an old woman with graying hair entered his vision, her expression solemn and sorrowful.

This was the same neighbor of his who had once been a kind looking middle aged woman just some years ago.

In this era, common people entered their twilight years as soon as fifty years of age, their lifespans were extremely short. Only nobles and royals could live past the age of seventy.

Right now, she was already over fifty years old.

Before Tian Yongheng could ask what happened, she spoke in a grave tone, "Xiao Tian, come with me quickly! Xiao Yang and his wife are dead!"
