Cultivation of immortality begins with an eighty-year-old eunuch.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The ancient and melodious sound of the bell pierced through the layers of barriers of the Immortal Spirit Cave, echoing in Chen Fan's ears.

The sound of the bell carried a faint, ethereal celestial melody, seemingly not belonging to this lower realm, as if it had descended from the heavens, resonating with the cultivators' souls.

Chen Fan slowly stood up.

He casually tucked the golden bowl, which was already perfectly formed in all five elements and was nurturing a real universe, into the deepest part of his robes and placed it close to his body. A deep, dark light flickered in his calm, still eyes.

He could wait seven days, and he did.

"Squeak!"

The heavy white jade door of the cave opened slowly to both sides without any wind.

Outside the door, Dao Wuyai, the sect master of Kunxu Sect, stood with his hands behind his back. This late-stage Tribulation Transcending expert, who ruled over most of the cultivation alliance, no longer had the feigned composure and majesty he displayed when they first met. Instead, he wore an extremely complex expression, even tinged with awe.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, the Nine Immortal Ancestor has emerged from seclusion and is waiting for you in the 'Reincarnation Secret Realm' in the back mountain." Dao Wuyai bowed slightly, his tone revealing an undisguised solemnity. "Please follow me."

"Thank you for leading the way, Sect Master."

Chen Fan flicked his long, gray-blue sleeves and stepped out of the cave.

The two transformed into streaks of light, traversing above the endless celestial palaces and pavilions of the Kunxu Sect.

Along the way, countless inner sect elders and core disciples of the Kunxu Sect stopped what they were doing and looked up at the two figures in mid-air. Especially when they looked at Chen Fan, their eyes were filled with undisguised fear and shock.

Seven days ago, this seemingly unremarkable young man in blue robes cleaved the foundation of the Kunxu Sect's sect-protecting formation with a single palm strike!

Not only that, he also used his terrifyingly powerful aura at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm to suppress the entire Kunxu Sect, making them unable to lift their heads!

This god of war is now being invited by the sect leader to the back mountain to see the Nine Immortal Ancestor in a very swaggering manner.

"Fellow Daoist Chen!"

Dao Wuyai, who was flying ahead, suddenly slowed down. His voice, transmitted through divine sense, rang in Chen Fan's mind, carrying a hint of hesitation and warning.

"Hmm?" Chen Fan remained expressionless.

"Fellow Daoist's cultivation is extraordinary, I admit my inferiority. But... those nine patriarchs on the back mountain are different from you and me." Dao Wuyai took a deep breath, his tone extremely suppressed. "They are Loose Immortals! They are supreme beings who have touched the laws of the Immortal Realm and survived the Loose Immortal Tribulation! Their temperaments are extremely peculiar, especially in their intolerance of any lower realm cultivators who dare to be presumptuous in front of them. Fellow Daoist, on your journey to borrow that Reincarnation Mirror, I hope... you will exercise restraint in all things and refrain from acting impulsively as you did seven days ago."

Dao Wuyai's words were spoken with heartfelt sincerity.

He wasn't concerned about Chen Fan's life or death; he was concerned about the life or death of the Kunxu Sect!

If Chen Fan, who has been strengthened to the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage, were to really fight the Nine Immortal Ancestor in the Kunxu Sect, the devastating aftershocks would be enough to completely wipe this star field off the map of the Cultivation Alliance!

"Don't worry, Sect Master," Chen Fan replied calmly, a faint smile playing on his lips. "I'm a reasonable person. As long as they're willing to lend me the Mirror of Reincarnation, I'll naturally be easy to talk to."

Dao Wuyai's lips twitched upon hearing this.

Reasoning? You call it reasoning to demolish the foundation of someone's protective formation just because you disagree with them?!

But he dared not say anything more, and could only pray in his heart that the Nine Immortal Ancestor could suppress this evil star, or simply satisfy the evil star's demands and send this plague away as soon as possible.

Ahead, nine towering mountain peaks appeared.

These nine mountain peaks are not on the surface of Kunxu Sect's planet, but are suspended in the starry sky! Each mountain peak exudes a terrifying aura that distorts the void and makes all laws retreat.

That's pure "ethereal energy"!

At the heart of the nine mountain peaks, a massive black hole was forcibly torn open in the void. The edge of the black hole flickered with eerie black and white light, seemingly connecting the underworld and the celestial realm, exuding a chilling sense of the cycle of life and death.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, the Samsara Secret Realm is just ahead. The Nine Immortal Ancestor's decree allows only you to enter, so I can only escort you this far." Dao Wuyai stopped and pointed to the black hole where black and white intertwined.

Chen Fan nodded slightly, without the slightest hesitation. With his hands behind his back, he took a step forward, his figure disappearing directly into the black and white light!

A dizzying, tumbling sensation came over me.

This pulling force was immense; even a Mahayana cultivator would have their body instantly torn to shreds here. But Chen Fan moved as if on flat ground. His peak Tribulation Transcending physical strength made him completely immune to this distortion of spatial laws.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

Chen Fan stepped into a void space composed entirely of chaotic air currents.

There is no sky, no earth, no stars, and no spiritual energy here.

Only nine enormous white jade platforms floated in a ring within the chaos.

On each platform, a figure sat cross-legged!

These nine people, men and women, young and old, dressed in various styles, all exuded a terrifying pressure that transcended the mundane and even the laws of nature!

A wandering immortal!

Moreover, there were a total of nine high-level Loose Immortals who had survived several Loose Immortal Tribulations!

Their auras intertwined, suppressing this chaotic void into a deathly silence. Even Chen Fan, whose peak Tribulation Transcending power was enough to sweep across Tiannan Star, felt a slight stagnation at this moment.

Chen Fan's gaze swept over the nine people in an instant, and finally landed on the void in the very center of the nine platforms.

There, a simple and unadorned bronze mirror floats in the air!

The edges of the bronze mirror were engraved with extremely intricate ancient patterns, half as black as ink and half as white as snow. The mirror did not reflect light, but rather resembled a bottomless vortex, slowly rotating. With each rotation, a terrifying force capable of reversing yin and yang and reversing time and space rippled outwards.

The Mirror of Reincarnation!

Chen Fan's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart skipped a beat.

He went through countless hardships, fighting his way from the sealed land to Tiannan Star, and then traversing endless star fields to reach the core of this cultivation alliance, all for the sake of this mirror before him!

With it, Tianxiangzi... can come back to life!

Just as Chen Fan was feeling excited!

On the highest platform in the very center, an old man dressed in coarse linen clothes, with white hair and beard, and resembling a withered tree, slowly opened his eyes.

The old man's eyes had no pupils, only two deep starry skies!

"young people……"

The old man's voice, seemingly spanning countless ages, resounded through the chaotic void with an ethereal yet undeniable majesty, causing the surrounding chaotic air currents to churn violently.

He didn't ask Chen Fan's background, why Chen Fan wanted to demolish the foundation of the Kunxu Sect, or why Chen Fan wanted to borrow the Reincarnation Mirror.

His first words struck Chen Fan's soul like a heavy hammer!

"The Heavenly Bowl... is it in your hands?"
