Chapter 473: The Sun and Moon Illuminate Mountains and Rivers (Thirty-Two)

"Primal energy even denser than the Origin Realm."
"That must be a great world."
The elder shook his head: "That world is far weaker than my Origin Realm. Perhaps it hasn't even been discovered by the Immortal Realm yet, just like those weak worlds you discovered before, City Lord."
Speaking of those weak worlds reminded Dugu Wudi of something called a system. He had discovered several strange worlds possessing immense wealth but lacking the strength to match it. It was precisely because of this that Dugu Wudi was able to grow so rapidly, ultimately defeating the Immortal Realm's allied forces in a single battle.
"In that case, have the army prepare to invade that world with me, City Lord."
Dugu Wudi didn't take the world he discovered seriously.
His birth represented mythology!
......
Within the Immortal Realm
After ten thousand years
With the help of Wang Shu, Ling Jiuxiao successfully broke through to the Immortal Realm, establishing a foothold in the Immortal Realm.
He joined a force called Cangmang Academy, a prestigious institution that taught without discrimination and enjoyed immense prestige in the Eastern Huang Region.
"The Dean of Cangmang Academy has broken through to the Emperor Realm and is rallying numerous Immortal Realm forces to attack the Origin Realm?"
Ling Jiuxiao's expression was strange. He didn't know much about what happened a million years ago, but he did know that the Origin Realm was one of the few worlds unbound by the Immortal Realm. It was there that a supreme powerhouse named Dugu Wudi was born, invincible within the Immortal Realm. A million years ago, he defeated a coalition of forces from the Eastern Huang Region, inflicting humiliation upon many. Now, under the leadership of the current Dean of Cangmang Academy, these forces were preparing to launch a renewed attack on the Origin Realm.
Ling Jiuxiao, now a top genius and powerhouse of Cangmang Academy, was naturally among them, joining the academy in their attack on the Origin Realm.
"Perhaps I can take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and make a fortune."
"If only I could enter that place within the Cangmang Academy."
Within the forbidden area of ​​the Cangmang Academy, Ling Jiuxiao sensed the aura of the incomplete Northern Darkness Heavenly Scripture, one of the main reasons he joined the academy.

Within the Shanhe Sect
With the counterattack from the Origin Realm, the Shanhe Sect's front lines collapsed, suffering heavy losses. This made Han Xiyue and the others realize the terrifying power of the Origin Realm, far beyond their ability to provoke.
At this critical moment, Long Jueshen appeared out of nowhere. He was ordered by Su Chen to intervene when the Shanhe Sect was in peril.
The Shanhe Sect's development had been too smooth, causing its members to lose their caution. This crisis taught Han Xiyue and the others a lesson. Su Chen had achieved his goal and sent Long Jueshen to clean up the mess.
At this moment, the Origin City army, completely unaware of all this, had begun to break through the defenses and descend upon the world where the Shanhe Sect was located.
"Such a rich aura of primordial energy... even surpassing that of the Immortal Realm!"
Upon entering the world where the Mountain and River Sect resided, Dugu Wudi's expression brightened. If he could conquer this world and then use his great divine power to merge it with the Origin Realm, he might be able to create a small Immortal Realm... At that time, he might be able to take a step towards the Emperor Realm, and then even in the Immortal Realm, he wouldn't need to worry about those old fogies!
"Who are you?"
As Dugu Wudi prepared to completely conquer and refine this world, a small dragon, standing like a human, appeared before him.
Dragon God looked at the endless array of beings, his expression indifferent: "So, a promising young fellow. However, this world is the master's territory; you have crossed the line."
"Crossing the line, there is only one fate."
As his words fell, the countless armies of the Origin Realm vanished instantly, transforming into pure power that fed back into this world. Before Dugu Wudi could react, his body exploded.
Having done all this, Dragon God did not stop immediately. He extended a claw, which rapidly grew larger, and gently touched the other side of the door, towards the Origin Realm.
.......
Inside Origin City, another youth, identical to Dugu Wudi, opened his eyes, still filled with lingering fear and astonishment.
He was dead!
"No...no!"
Dugu Wudi raised his head to look at the Origin Realm above, which was now crumbling under a terrifying force.
In an instant, the entire world vanished—this was Dugu Wudi's last thought.
The entire Origin Realm was refined, transformed into a glass bead, and plucked away by a claw.
This scene was witnessed by numerous Immortal Realm forces that had opened the passage and were preparing to invade the Origin Realm. They all swallowed hard.
Such a vast Origin Realm, vanished before their very eyes?
"What is the origin of the owner of that claw?"
The powerful figures among the various Immortal Realm forces felt fear for the first time.
Fear of the unknown!
Among the Immortal Realm army, Ling Jiuxiao felt that the claw looked somewhat familiar.
"Could it be that Lord Long has made his move?"
.......
Within the Mountain and River Sect
A tremendous crisis was thus easily averted.
Long Jueshen returned to the back mountain, a glass bead still floating in his palm.
"My lord, the crisis has been averted."
The glass ball flew into Su Chen's palm. With a gentle squeeze, the sect's primordial immortal energy surged to a new level.
Such a small matter naturally didn't require Su Chen's intervention.
Through this crisis, the members of the Mountain and River Sect began to gradually grow stronger.
...
Ten thousand years...twenty thousand years...fifty thousand years...one hundred thousand years, one million years, ten million years...
Time is the least valuable thing to the strong.
In Su Chen's eyes, in Long Jue Shen's eyes, it was merely a fleeting moment.
Ling Jiuxiao was thriving in the Immortal Realm, and the Mountain and River Sect's name was gradually becoming renowned.
No one knew the true depths of the Mountain and River Sect's power; they only knew that within the sect resided a dragon, a dragon even the Emperors of the Immortal Realm could not subdue.
The Mountain and River Sect was growing stronger.
However, within the sect, countless individuals were succumbing to the ravages of time and beginning to wither away.
Not becoming an immortal only meant achieving longevity; longevity did not equate to eternal life.
Elder Yan failed to break through to the Emperor Realm. Sometimes, factors beyond talent cannot be determined... That day, Su Chen rarely ventured out of the back mountain.
On his deathbed, Elder Yan smiled at the still-elegant figure: "Thank you, Sect Master. Without you, the Mountain and River Sect would not have reached this state."
He understood many things clearly.
Su Chen didn't intervene. Watching Elder Yan pass away with a smile, he returned to the back mountain.
Some paths, once walked, become impassable.
As sect elders began to pass away, new geniuses began to emerge to fill their positions. The Mountain and River Sect would only grow stronger.
Ling Jiuxiao also returned to the Mountain and River Sect, taking Shen Qingli with him.
He was no longer young, less flamboyant, more composed. He was about to become a father!
