Urban Undying Lord-Chapter 1460 - 1479: Bitter Cultivation for 80,000 Years

The five thousand years of imparting teachings and techniques have elevated the entire Heavenly Court’s strength to a new level. However, for Ye Xuan, this so-called Heavenly Court holds no sense of belonging; at most, it’s just a means to an end.

The Heavenly Court is merely a name chosen for the unification of the Six Sects, a tribute to the past from the Primordial World. Ye Xuan reminds himself that his ultimate goal is to attain immortality. His time in the Northern Territory is transient, and he must eventually return to the Central Domain, which is his true battlefield.

Supreme Seeds, peerless talents, Great Sects of all kinds, Supreme Daoists, ancient supremacies, forbidden figures...

In the Central Domain, countless matters await him, and even his lifelong confidant, Liu Baiyi, waits for him there. He wonders, after all these years, what Liu Baiyi’s cultivation level might be now—whether he has stepped into immortality.

Ye Xuan considers his cultivation speed exceptionally swift. However, he firmly believes one thing: Liu Baiyi would never fall behind him. With Liu Baiyi’s unparalleled aptitude, he would undoubtedly be far ahead.

His thoughts fluttered, gaze deep and profound, and Ye Xuan sighed softly in his heart. The image of the Lord of Extreme Emotion flitted across his mind; he wondered how she was now!

In truth, Ye Xuan longed to return to the Central Domain. However, the time was not yet ripe; he must first obtain the Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron and quickly break into immortality. Only then would he have the confidence to return to the Central Domain.

Suppressing his chaotic thoughts, Ye Xuan let out a long sigh. The voices of Gu Beichen and the chubby Huang timely sounded.

"Sir, after this battle, I believe these immortals no longer dare to harbor rebellious thoughts," said the chubby Huang with a beaming smile.

"With two immortals slain and the other five intimidated, they have experienced your methods, Sir. Even if they were given more courage, they would not dare to entertain any disloyalty," said Gu Beichen with a smile.

Regarding their remarks, Ye Xuan replied indifferently, "They were all supposed to die, but the Taiyang Sect Master and the Daoist Bai Gu were merely scapegoats. However, it is now a time when manpower is needed, so I spared them for now. After all, the ultimate showdown is about to begin, and these five immortals hold considerable value for me."

"Sir, you have finally reached the Unity Realm Stage, just one step away from the Immortal Realm. It shouldn’t take long to return to the Central Domain, right?" questioned the chubby Huang.

"Immortal?"

Ye Xuan’s eyes were profound, his gaze slightly pensive. After a long pause, he murmured, "How can the Immortal Realm be so easily attained?"

"Cultivation resources, personal enlightenment, the Immortal Divine Tribulation—if the Immortal Realm could be easily entered, how could it be called the realm of sect leader-level figures?"

Ye Xuan sighed softly, his brows slightly furrowed together.

Upon reaching the Unity Realm Stage, Ye Xuan has already seen the barrier ahead. It is the barrier of the Immortal Realm, like an ancient stone gate firmly shut, requiring immense strength to open.

Currently, Ye Xuan is but a novice in the Unity Realm Stage. Even though his combat power has soared again, he still has a long way to go before reaching the Immortal Realm, with no immediate entry into it.

The Immortal Realm is inherently difficult to access; otherwise, it wouldn’t be the domain of sect leader figures, nor would it be proclaimed as the apex figures of the Chaos Great World.

Moreover, Ye Xuan deeply understands something: he is different from others. While others might have a glimmer of hope when facing the Immortal Divine Tribulation, his tribulation is assuredly a matter of life and death.

This is evident from past crossing tribulation experiences. Ye Xuan’s combat ability is fearsome, even capable of challenging figures a whole Great Realm above him, because of his immensely deep and terrifying foundation. Therefore, his Immortal Divine Tribulation is bound to be extremely fearsome.

However, where there is danger, there is opportunity. Although Ye Xuan faces a life-and-death crisis with each crossing tribulation, succeeding in them has rendered his combat power almost invincible at the same realm, which is precisely the reason for Ye Xuan’s strength.

Based on Ye Xuan’s calculations, if he were to progress at a steady pace, it would take at least millions of years to break through to the Immortal Realm.

Yet Ye Xuan cannot afford to wait millions of years. He senses the immense horror of his Immortal Divine Tribulation and realizes the need to adequately prepare to face it.

Moreover, Ye Xuan must hasten this process. He possesses the Tribulation Immortal Skill and the Profound Meaning of the Swallowing Heaven Demon Technique, granting him unparalleled advantages in enhancing his cultivation.

However, this alone is insufficient. Ye Xuan feels that breaking into the Immortal Realm and facing the Immortal Divine Tribulation will require unimaginable cultivation resources.

Consider the five sect masters’ breakthroughs to immortality that nearly exhausted half of the Six Sects’ resources, yet only three succeeded, while the others perished in the Immortal Divine Tribulation.

According to Ye Xuan’s estimation, elevating the Unity Realm Stage to Great Perfection to face the Immortal Divine Tribulation would require resources ten to a hundred times that of the five sect masters. The remaining resources of the Six Sects are merely a drop in the ocean.

Thus, only by endlessly plundering the resources of the Northern Territory and employing the Tribulation Immortal Skill and Profound Meaning of the Swallowing Heaven Demon Technique to devour some members of the Immortal Realm could Ye Xuan rapidly ascend to the pinnacle and truly face the Immortal Divine Tribulation.

However, having just entered the Unity Realm Stage, Ye Xuan knows he must not be too hasty and should first stabilize this realm before implementing his plans.

Moreover, this plan is only part of it; the real priority for Ye Xuan is obtaining the Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron. Only by understanding the miraculous techniques hidden within it could he be propelled into immortality and perhaps easily survive the Immortal Divine Tribulation; this is paramount.

Ye Xuan’s thoughts swirled, having made numerous decisive plans in his mind. However, all this must be achieved step by step until his goal is realized.

...

The ebb and flow of time, the passage of ages, and time, the most ruthless of all, had swiftly seen 50,000 years slip by. The Northern Territory lay battered, the Three Religions War nearing its conclusion, having almost depleted their reserves, and the final showdown was imminent.

Elsewhere.

In these 50,000 years, Ye Xuan has diligently pursued cultivation. Meanwhile, the Northern Territory Heavenly Court operated like an tireless machine; disciples of the Six Sects had poured forth, ravenously plundering the Northern Territory’s resources, leaving countless sects decimated and annihilated.

In the past, if the Northern Territory Heavenly Court had acted this way, the Northern Territory’s Three Religions would have long come to confront them. But now, the Three Religions are too preoccupied, and even knowing the Northern Territory Heavenly Court’s actions, they cannot intervene to stop them.

Massive cultivation resources were sent to Ye Xuan’s residence at Snow Bamboo Peak, where the spiritual energy stirring the realm was dense like water. Throughout the 50,000 years, Ye Xuan has never stepped from Snow Bamboo Peak. Elixirs, Spirit Essence, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures—anything beneficial for enhancing cultivation, Ye Xuan consumed voraciously. He was frantically practicing the Heavenly Burial Technique, and his cultivation in the Unity Realm Stage was steadily advancing.
