Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

"After the birth of the first ancestor of the Spirit Race, the Spirit Race, which was born in accordance with the rules of heaven and earth, was born. Spiritual energy began to appear. At first, it was extremely thin, but later it gradually became richer and increased over a long period of evolution."

It was also during the evolution of heaven and earth that sea creatures living in the vast oceans were born one after another, and the world gradually became what we see today.

As the conversation deepened, even the old master, who had been pondering various conspiracies, shifted his gaze and began to listen attentively.

The Old Celestial Master knew that the Nine Realms only had a history of one million years.

Having learned about the history of the Realm of Ingenuity and the Realm of Spirit Blooming, the Old Celestial Master knew clearly that the evolution speed of the Nine Realms was abnormal, much faster than that of other worlds.

The transformation of the sea into mulberry fields should be a very long process, and the birth of life and civilization should not be so rapid.

Even someone as powerful as the Old Celestial Master has no way of knowing why the Nine Realms have become what they are now, or why they are so favored by powerful beings.

The world beneath their feet holds far too many secrets.

Inside the pavilion, Mu An's story continued.

"As the world knows, three hundred thousand years ago, the world further evolved, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth reached a certain concentration. Our human civilization appeared in the Nine Domains for the first time, and the sacred beasts of the Qilin and True Dragon clans were born as a result."

"It was also at this time that Mount Tiansheng appeared in the Nine Domains. At first, it was not clear and existed in an illusory world, making it difficult to observe. Initially, Mount Tiansheng could only be observed by powerful beings who had reached the Golden Immortal realm, and such beings did not exist in the Nine Domains at that time."

"As luck would have it, due to some reasons that are currently uncertain, these three 'upper realm immortals and gods' have arrived in the Nine Realms at this juncture."

"The Taoist, Buddhist, and demonic sects have passed down their teachings and left behind celestial treasures. The demonic sect's Heavenly Demon, however, perished completely after forcibly breaking into Tian Sheng Mountain."

"At that time, neither the Taoist nor the Buddhist immortals knew why the Heavenly Demon had perished. They only knew that the Heavenly Demon, whose strength was similar to theirs, died suddenly without even a trace of his soul escaping. At that time, the strongest among them was only in the Nine Realms of the Supreme Immortal Realm, which was obviously abnormal."

"They may have considered escaping the Nine Realms, but orders from higher authorities prevented them from leaving. They had no choice but to remain in the Nine Realms to fulfill their respective missions."

"The death of the Heavenly Demon made the immortals of the Daoist sect uneasy, realizing that they themselves might also perish at any time. So they left behind their own contingency plan, which is the soul within the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram. He knew long ago that 300,000 years later, the Nine Realms would undergo a transformation and become a perfect world."

"Uncertain of whether they would perish, the immortals of the Daoist sect separated a portion of their souls, placed it within the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram, and set the time for their awakening to be on the eve of the Nine Realms' laws nearing perfection and the spiritual energy concentration climbing to its peak."

"The Taoist immortals think very simply: as long as Taoism continues to exist, the one who can wield the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram must be a powerful figure within Taoism. Even if not extremely powerful, he would at least be a terrestrial immortal. The strength of a terrestrial immortal would be sufficient for the awakened Taoist immortal to use, allowing him to reap enough benefits during the process of perfecting the world."

"As he expected, his true form eventually perished on Mount Tiansheng. But what he did not expect was that the one who wielded the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram was Fellow Daoist Li, whose cultivation was unparalleled throughout history, far surpassing that of ordinary cultivators in the Nine Domains."

"Even if the Heavenly Dao Will of the Nine Realms were to personally intervene, it would still need to involve the strongest individuals in the entire world to have any chance of confronting Fellow Daoist Li."

"A broken soul, even if it once reached the realm of a half-step Golden Immortal, is no match for Fellow Daoist Li, and the matter of possession is utter nonsense."

The sudden praise made the old master smile modestly and explain to Qinghe, who was standing to the side with stars in her eyes.

"Young friend, please don't take this seriously. Fellow Daoist Mu is being too modest. My skills are nothing compared to Fellow Daoist Mu's."

After saying that, the old master sighed again as he looked up at the sky.

"Since the immortal who passed down the Taoist lineage left behind a backup plan, the Buddhist sect probably has similar methods as well. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xuanling has made any preparations."

Despite saying this, the old celestial master had no intention of reminding the Xuanling Bodhisattva.

If Xuanling Bodhisattva doesn't even have the ability to deal with a remnant soul, then he has no right to confront him.

If Xuanling Bodhisattva was truly possessed, then it was Xuanling Bodhisattva's fate, a matter of insufficient strength, and not worth worrying about.

As for whether the remnant soul taking over the body of the Xuanling Bodhisattva will cause trouble.

The old celestial master said that he was only a half-step Golden Immortal, and a broken remnant soul at that, so he was nothing in the upcoming battle.

His opponents are the Nine Realms Heavenly Dao, all the powerful beings in the world, one more or one less makes no difference.

Of course, the old celestial master did not think that the remnant soul of a Buddhist immortal could be obtained so easily.

Xuanling Bodhisattva's own realm is quite remarkable. Perhaps he hasn't discovered the problem yet, but it's unlikely that his body could be easily taken over by someone.

More importantly, in order to deal with itself, the Heavenly Dao Will of the Nine Realms accelerated its own improvement and even separated a portion of its consciousness to personally intervene.

The Heavenly Dao personally confronting the beings within the world is something that would be impossible in the normal process of world evolution.

These two remnant souls could not have foreseen the current state of the Nine Realms 300,000 years ago.

With the blessing of the Heavenly Dao Will of the Nine Realms, Zhang Ming'an probably discovered the problem within the Golden Lotus of Merit long ago.

The old celestial master did not continue discussing the matter of Buddhist immortals with Mu An, but instead asked about the black substance that had appeared from the Heaven and Earth Compass earlier.

"I understand what the True Lord has said, but if these three immortals are not Golden Immortals, then what about these inherited immortal treasures..."

Seeing that the old celestial master had realized the crux of the problem, Mu An nodded slightly and made a vague gesture toward the illusory projection of the Boundary Sea in front of him.

A world enveloped in a halo then leaped out from the boundary sea, attracting the attention of the three.

"As I said before, the three immortals who descended upon the Nine Realms were not Golden Immortals. At most, they could only be considered half-step Golden Immortals, or rather, special creations of Golden Immortals. They were somewhat similar to the true demons of the Nine Nether Demon Abyss, but not entirely the same."

"I won't go into too much detail about their specific forms of existence here. You only need to know that the power of the three is of the same origin, from the same world. Although they belong to different forces, their essence comes from the same being."

As he spoke, Mu An pointed at the illusory world shrouded in light, magnifying it several times over.

"Assuming this is the Upper Realm that has been praised by the world for three hundred thousand years, then I can now tell you with certainty, fellow Daoist, that this world is also inhabited by a being, or rather, it belongs to a powerful being, an existence that has gone further than I have on the path to becoming a Golden Immortal."
