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

Even though her longing had long since turned into an obsession, Mu An could not possibly leave the Nine Realms at this time to search for the truth, which might or might not even exist, in the vast sea of ​​worlds.

Since Mu An reshaped the Starfall Domain and created seventy-two star islands outside it, transforming the entire domain into an independent world that continues to expand into the void, the situation in the Nine Domains has become increasingly complex.

Almost every year, people from outside the world come to the Nine Realms, either to directly possess bodies or to activate seeds that have been planted long ago.

Various "time travelers" and "system holders" are emerging one after another.

One by one, these chosen ones, the future leaders of their sects, stepped into the martial world and shone brightly on the grand stage known as the "Nine Domains".

Even a powerful being of the Xuanling Bodhisattva level could be replaced silently.

The seemingly ordinary literary path has also quietly undergone changes.

A dazzling star appeared in the night sky of the Nine Realms, casting wisps of literary energy upon the mortal world.

Deep within the vast Boundary Sea, a colossal creature that feeds on stars is heading towards the Nine Realms.

Sometimes it soars among the stars, sometimes it takes flight and swallows the stars along the way.

……

To this day, Mu An has completely lost interest in the duel between the Old Celestial Master and the Heavenly Dao.

Everything is changing too fast, the world is changing every moment, and all plans can't keep up with the changes.

The situation in the Nine Realms is far too complex. Neither the Celestial Master nor the Heavenly Dao can control the Nine Realms.

The Samsara Palace would not agree, nor would the Buddha who calls himself Xuanling.

They will push for the formation of the Heavenly Dao, but they will not allow any party to control the Nine Domains.

Even Mu An himself only chose to separate the Starfall Domain, making it a relatively independent entity.

Because he was also unable to control the situation that followed.

Even Shi Meng, who was all alone, did not choose to seek Mu An's protection, but instead embarked on her own journey of seeking the Dao in the Nine Realms.

Having broken free from the control of the Time Wheel Dao Lord, this time, Shi Meng wants to ascend to the Golden Immortal realm according to his own will and see the scenery unique to the Golden Immortals.

If given the chance, she would also like to challenge the person who created her and demand an explanation for her life.

The tide of the times rolls ever forward, and all forces vie to make their moves.

Watching the changing winds and clouds over the Nine Realms, and seeing one rare "genius" after another emerge, Mu An finally understood why the Book of Creation hadn't allowed him to leave the Nine Realms when he broke through to the Golden Immortal realm.

For a long time to come, the Nine Realms will remain the center of the Boundary Sea.

The Dao Fruits named Supreme, Great Unity, Great Luo, and Primordial Chaos will eventually be born in the Nine Realms.

When the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Realms becomes complete, this great struggle will begin.

To participate in this competition, you first need a ticket.

And this ticket is named Golden Immortal.

In this contest, they were all early movers.

……

The year 310 of the Gregorian calendar, the Two Elements Immortal Island.

A sheer cliff rises a thousand feet high among the mountains, like a sharp blade piercing the sky. A waterfall cascades down from the mountaintop, forming a silver river along the rocks.

Auspicious clouds drifted in from afar, merging with the splashing water mist to form colorful rainbows.

Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, green rocks hang beside the waterfall, with a sea of ​​clouds overflowing along their edges, creating an illusion of a celestial terrace.

On the rocks, the two sat facing each other, gazing at the waterfall in the mountain stream.

One person wore a blue robe with wide sleeves, his hair fluttering in the wind; the other wore a Taoist robe, with a kind and benevolent face.

On the black and white stone table are scattered chess pieces, which are now disorderly and no longer as orderly as before.

A faint sense of oppression hung over the entire Two Elements Immortal Island.

Only the spiritual tea and spiritual fruit on the table remained the same as always.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, what brings you to visit this old Daoist today?"

On the messy chessboard, the old master placed a black piece and tentatively spoke.

"I've come to check if you are well, fellow Daoist."

Mu An glanced at the chessboard in front of him, but instead of making a move like the old master, he gently tapped the chessboard.

The chessboard flipped, transforming into a phantom map of the Nine Realms, with nineteen horizontal and nineteen vertical lines distributed throughout, marking three hundred and sixty-one points across the world.

"Fellow Daoist, what is this?" The moment the map of the Nine Realms was drawn, the old Celestial Master had a guess in his mind. He looked at Mu An and pretended to be puzzled.

Mu An did not explain what he had done, but simply remarked to the old master.

"It is a great pleasure to see that you are well today."

Upon hearing this, a complex emotion flashed across the old master's eyes. He looked towards the direction of Lingshan Temple and finally sighed.

"It's a pity... I thought that my final opponent would be Fellow Daoist Xuanling, but I never expected that such a thing would happen."

Mu An lowered his eyes and remained silent, scattering chess pieces one by one onto the chessboard. He only stopped when the number of pieces on the board reached 156, and then looked at the old master again.

"With the expansion of the Starfall Domain, literary energy has flowed back, and the concentration of spiritual energy has increased. The number of positions in the world has reached 360. Currently, there are 156 terrestrial immortals in the Nine Domains, and there are still many vacancies, waiting for newcomers to ascend."

The old master picked up the conversation and continued his analysis.

"The land immortals of the Nine Realms have always been dominated by the human race. Although the Holy Spirit and True Dragon races are blessed with unique advantages, it is still very difficult for them to attain the status of Heaven and Earth."

After achieving peace, the Great Spirit Empire and the Great Time Empire spearheaded a new transformation.

The products of cultivation were widely used in the daily lives of ordinary people, leading to a rapid increase in the human population.

To this day, the footprints of the human race are found all over the world, and there are human settlements in every region.

All told, the human population in the Nine Realms has reached 237.2 billion, making it the largest race in the Nine Realms.

The Qiming Sword, inheriting the destiny of the Heavenly Realm, has now reached the realm of True Immortal and holds a pivotal position among the human race.

"If you wish to make your mark on the world, fellow Daoist, you may reforge the Enlightenment Sword and refine it into a true sacred sword of humanity."

Upon hearing this, Mu An nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with the old master's words.

This is the most convenient place to communicate with the Celestial Master. You don't need to say too much; the Celestial Master will understand the meaning and extend the conversation.

Mu An pointed at the map of the Nine Realms.

The phantom of Wenhua Palace leaped out of the map and appeared in front of the two.

The sound of children reading aloud echoed across the fairy island, and everyone in the Wenhua Palace could see clearly what they were doing.

"What Fellow Daoist Li said is quite true, but he missed one point. The human path in the Nine Domains appeared too late, and its power is too weak to have much impact on the overall situation."

What truly matters is the literary path, naturally intertwined with the human path; in the coming millennia, the Wenhua Palace will inevitably undergo significant changes.

"Thousands of years?" The old master's voice deepened, as if he felt helpless about this long period of time.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, I cannot wait that long any longer. I have devoted my entire life to achieving Dao Integration. If I were to give up now, I fear my cultivation would be..."

"No, you can wait."
