Five hundred years of stacked Q, this one Q, unique and unparalleled throughout eternity!

Under normal circumstances, the tribulations and calamities that immortals experience will become more and more difficult with each one. Theoretically, the lifespan of a true immortal is infinite, but true immortals often cannot withstand three tribulations before they perish.

Earthly Immortals and Celestial Immortals are indeed much more powerful, but the tribulations they encounter are also much more severe. Even Golden Immortals may perish during the Three Calamities and Six Tribulations, and the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. Therefore, the lifespan limit of Celestial Immortals is almost 36,000 years.

Over thirty thousand years is enough time for even a peerless genius to ascend to the Golden Immortal realm, only to ultimately perish under the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man.

"However, this Yin clan ancestor, during the 30,000 years he hid in the Jade Emperor Pavilion, withstood nine calamities of the five signs of decay of heaven and man, and became a legend in the entire Xuanhuang Great World."

If it weren't for the extraordinary phenomena of the Ninth Calamity of Decay of Heaven and Man being so overwhelming that they attracted the attention of the Supreme Elder of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, no one would have known that the Yin Clan Ancestor had been hiding among the outer disciples of the Jade Emperor Pavilion for over 30,000 years.

Taking advantage of the Jade Emperor Pavilion's lenient screening requirements for outer disciples, this ancestor of the Yin clan fabricated a cultivation family out of thin air, playing multiple roles and concealing himself as the entire family for tens of thousands of years.

"When that Golden Immortal Elder discovered it, he realized that the Yin Clan Ancestor's connections had spread throughout the entire Jade Emperor Pavilion. Even a Golden Immortal Elder in the Jade Emperor Pavilion who had mastered the swordsmanship had a close relationship with one of the Ancestor's identities during the outer sect period, and they were just one step away from becoming Daoist partners."

After confirmation, this Yin clan ancestor claimed that he stayed at the outer gate of the Jade Emperor Pavilion to protect himself because he was afraid of fighting outside and feared that he would be involved and die.

After deliberation, the elders of the Jade Emperor Pavilion decided to appoint him as the guardian elder of the Jade Emperor Pavilion. From then on, the Yin clan patriarch completely disappeared from the world.

After hearing the Empress's words, Luo Tian was completely dumbfounded.

Even though he considered himself knowledgeable and experienced, he had never seen such a cunning and elusive figure as this ancestor of the Yin clan.

Because he feared the calamity that would come with advancing to the True Immortal stage, he forcibly extended his lifespan from eight thousand years to thirteen thousand years during the Mahayana stage.

Out of fear of conflict, he hid in the outer gate of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, a dominant force, and created a fictional immortal cultivation family that has lasted for tens of thousands of years.

In order to survive, he managed to withstand nine cycles of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, a fate that even Golden Immortals could perish in.

Even Luo Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of awe towards such a person.

However, Luo Tian then discovered the problem.

"That's not right! If that Yin clan ancestor really lived in seclusion, how could he be involved with the Yin clan?"

Given that old ancestor's personality, he probably wishes he could avoid getting involved in these troubles, right?

The Empress gave a cold laugh.

"When that Golden Immortal of the Yin Clan was alive, the entire Yin Clan regarded this ancestor as a disgrace."

However, the Golden Immortal perished under the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man, and the Yin Clan lost its fundamental protector. Therefore, they desperately tried to curry favor with this ancestor from 50,000 years ago, hoping to align themselves with the Jade Emperor Pavilion and use its power to ensure their survival.

"This ancestor originally did not want to pay attention to the Yin Clan, but the tenth great calamity was approaching. He knew that he could not survive the tenth calamity of the five decays of heaven and man with his Heavenly Immortal realm alone, so he began to seek advancement."

Advancing to the Golden Immortal realm requires a vast amount of resources. That old ancestor probably had his eye on the resources of the Yin Clan; after all, they were a powerful force that had produced Golden Immortals, and their resources were undoubtedly substantial.

Luo Tian suddenly realized, but then doubts arose in his heart.

"With the connections of that Yin clan ancestor, plus the Yin clan's resources, obtaining enough resources to advance to the Golden Immortal realm shouldn't be a problem. So why is the Yin clan now begging a branch of the clan?"

The Empress said softly:

"For someone who would rather wait for over ten thousand years in the Mahayana realm than advance to the next level, no amount of advancement resources will be enough!"

Chapter 279 Great Luo Heaven!

The Empress's explanation left Luo Tian speechless.

Yin Chang spoke confidently for a long time, but it turned out to be nothing more than wishful thinking on his part.

Judging from the personality of that Yin clan ancestor, even if he achieved the Golden Immortal realm, he would most likely continue to hide inside the Jade Emperor Pavilion.

It might be okay to borrow power occasionally, but if that old ancestor of the Gou Dao were to actually deal with the Star God King, that would be nonsense. Such a senior and steady immortal would definitely not offend a powerful god king of the first level of divine power.

Thinking of this, Luo Tian looked at Yin Chang, who was muttering something to himself while looking at the compass.

"Was this so-called transaction by the Yin Clan intended to get something for nothing from the very beginning?" Luo Tian looked at Yin Chang and couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, the Empress's expression turned slightly strange as she said:

"That's not necessarily true."

"The information I have is all recorded in the royal secret records by the Sun King Ancestor, and it may not be the same as the situation inside the Yin Clan."

The Yin clan actively currying favor with the ancestor of the Jade Emperor Pavilion was a matter of two thousand years ago. Having decided to make him their patron, the Yin clan certainly wouldn't publicize the truth of the matter.

"It is estimated that over the past two thousand years, the Yin clan has been building up support for that ancestor within the clan and covering up the truth."

After all, the ancestor's resume was not honorable. If it were to be exposed that the current number one person of the Yin clan was such a person, it would greatly dampen the enthusiasm of the younger generation within the Yin clan.

In the eyes of the younger generation, this Yin Clan ancestor is probably a powerful elder guarding the Jade Emperor Pavilion, the number one Celestial Immortal to live to 50,000 years old. If he were to advance to the Golden Immortal realm, suppressing ordinary powerful gods would be a piece of cake!

"Yin Chang and Yin Yuan have just advanced to the True Immortal realm, and should both be members of the younger generation of the Yin clan."

After the Empress's explanation, Luo Tian immediately felt that it made perfect sense.

After all, if Yin Chang and Yin Yuan truly knew that their ancestor was a treacherous ancestor who had stubbornly waited for thirteen thousand years in the Mahayana realm in order to avoid undergoing tribulation, their Dao hearts would probably collapse.

Looking at Yin Chang again, Luo Tian couldn't help but feel a pang of pity in his eyes.

Having such an ancestor, it's hard to say whether the Yin clan brought it upon themselves or whether both sides were willing to be at odds.

Meanwhile, Yin Chang seemed to have also communicated with the Yin clan patriarch and put away the communication artifact in his hand.

Luo Tian nodded slightly to the Empress, who then waved her hand to remove the barrier of fortune.

Yin Chang bowed to Luo Tian and said:

"Your Highness, the Ancestor has agreed to your request. The All-Stars Guiding Array will be activated in one hour, at which time we can use it to travel to the Jade Emperor Pavilion."

However, the Jade Emperor Pavilion has extremely strict regulations regarding outsiders. May I ask what identity you intend to assume when you travel to the Xuanhuang Great World?

Luo Tian pondered for a moment.

Although the two True Immortals before them did not know what the Regent of the Great Yin Empire represented, it did not mean that others were unaware.

With five powerful Golden Immortals presiding over the Jade Emperor Pavilion, they must know something about the identity of the Great Father God. Directly claiming to be the Regent of the Great Yin Empire would completely defeat the purpose of concealing his identity, and he didn't want to be targeted by Zhen Yuanzi as soon as he entered the Star World.

After a moment, Luo Tian glanced at the Empress beside him and said:

"The Yin Clan's ancestor is about to advance to the Golden Immortal realm. As the son-in-law of the Yin Clan, I should naturally go and offer my congratulations."

Yin Chang nodded. This kind of reporting wasn't exactly lying; it just omitted some details.

"May I ask His Majesty the Regent's name?"

"Luo Tian!"

......

As a dazzling light, as if the entire starry sky had descended, descended, Luo Tian felt as if his body had lost all trace of existence in the real world, wandering in a magnificent ocean of the world.

In this magnificent and fantastical land, vast worlds unfolded clearly before Luo Tian's eyes.

Among the many magnificent worlds, some are dim and crumbling, while others shine like the rising sun, illuminating all realms. And still others have unimaginably enormous figures overlooking them from behind.

In a far corner, an immortal dressed in a dark yellow Taoist robe sat cross-legged on a magnificent world. Behind him, an unimaginably vast spiritual root pierced through heaven and earth, connecting the starry sky with the earth, and the lush canopy supported the sky of this world.

Beneath that dome, the branches that spread out bear fruits that resemble infants, each imbued with celestial energy. They contain the light of the stars, seemingly transforming into the stars of the heavens to illuminate this world and reflect upon all living beings in this world throughout the ages.

As Luo Tian was guided by the starlight of the heavens, the immortal in the black and yellow Daoist robe seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes to look at the massive amount of starlight that had come to guide him from all realms and transformed into the Milky Way.

The All-Stars Guiding Array is a top-tier immortal array in the Xuanhuang Great World, and it is not exclusive to the Jade Emperor Pavilion.

Many major sects also set up the Star Reception Array, firstly to collect the vast star power in the various realms, and secondly to facilitate the return of their disciples to the sect via teleportation.

Given the sheer size of the Xuanhuang Great World, tens of thousands of people return every day, accompanied by a vast amount of starlight, riding the Star-Guiding Array.

Luo Tian was also attracted by its speed and stealth.

As Zhen Yuanzi opened his eyes, Luo Tian, ​​who was wandering in the World Sea, immediately sensed it and his body instantly entered the world of Tartarus.

Zhen Yuanzi's gaze easily swept over the starlight from all realms, taking in everything, but he failed to notice Tartarus.

It was as if that world did not exist in His sight.

Unable to get the desired result, Zhen Yuanzi frowned slightly, wanting to look at the starry world again.

However, when he thought of the terrifying sense of destruction that filled that dark red world, Zhen Yuanzi temporarily suppressed his thoughts.

"I didn't expect to be one step behind. It seems that the Lord of the Prefecture has a deeper foundation than I imagined. Perhaps I shouldn't have used this method to test him."

After my attempt backfired, the magistrate seemed particularly wary of me.

"Very well, let's leave this matter for now."

Although the opportunity to attain enlightenment is rare, it is not worth risking provoking a powerful enemy. If I were to carelessly turn this opportunity into a calamity, even the attainment of the Taiyi Dao Fruit would be jeopardized.

"The only pity is that I have not been able to communicate with that Lord of the Underworld so far. I only know that he holds the power of the Underworld and that he comes from one of the thirty-six heavens."

The Great Crimson Heaven of the Supreme Purity Realm? The Yu Yu Heaven of the Upper Purity Realm? The Pure Subtle Heaven of the Jade Purity Realm?

"Or perhaps... the Great Luo Heaven?"

Chapter 280 My name is Yin Changsheng! 5000

As the surrounding starlight gradually dimmed, Luo Tian also sensed that Zhen Yuanzi had withdrawn his spying gaze.

The next moment, Luo Tian emerged from Tartarus once again.

Although they were still in the World Sea, the Xuanhuang Great World in front of them was already clearly visible, especially the huge spiritual root that pierced through the heavens and earth, which attracted Luo Tian's full attention.

Glancing at the ginseng fruits that resembled stars, Luo Tian couldn't help but swallow, as if recalling the introduction to Journey to the West that he had read as a child.

"At Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, there is a spiritual root called Grass Returning Elixir, also known as Ginseng Fruit. This tree blossoms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and takes another three thousand years to mature. If a person is fortunate enough to smell it, they can live for three hundred and sixty years; if they eat one, they can live for forty-seven thousand years."

Such a precious tree and spiritual root are comparable to only a handful of trees in the mythology of the Celestial Empire, let alone in the myriad realms.

"If I have the chance, I really have to go and see what the ginseng fruit tastes like. It would be a way to get revenge for that old bastard Zhen Yuanzi's scheme."

Thinking this to himself, Luo Tian knew that now was definitely not the time.

Reluctantly withdrawing his gaze, Luo Tian followed the pervasive starlight and fell into the Xuanhuang Great World.

Zhongzhou, Jade Emperor Pavilion.

As one of the three most powerful sects in the entire Xuanhuang Great World, the Jade Emperor Pavilion's influence extends almost throughout the entire Central Continent.

From the three great dynasties and the six realms of orthodox sects, to the three thousand unorthodox paths and eight hundred heterodox sects, all bowed down to the Jade Emperor Pavilion.

Jade Emperor Mountain, where the Jade Emperor Pavilion sect is located, is revered as the supreme holy land of the entire Central Plains.

Although Jade Emperor Mountain is called a mountain, it is actually a blessed land created by the Golden Immortal of Jade Emperor Pavilion.

It contains mountains, rivers, and everything in between. A total of six star-guiding arrays guide the starlight from all realms, elevating the spiritual energy of the entire Jade Emperor Mountain to an incredible level.

Today, in addition to the usual starlight, the Star-Guiding Array welcomed several special guests.

Stepping back onto the ground, Luo Tian felt as if he had entered an ocean of spiritual energy, with countless soft hands gently caressing his body. The abundant spiritual energy washed away all impurities with each breath.
