264: The situation suddenly changed, and we returned to the Dameng Immortal Sect!

However, you were completely unaware of these ongoing events.

The twelfth year!

You finally awoke from your seclusion.

Upon opening your eyes, a slight smile played on your lips, as you had finally achieved a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Immortal Realm.

Although it was only a Breakthrough of a minor Realm, only you knew the immense improvement it brought you.

Now, you could even directly confront a Eerie Clan member in the Early Stage of the Earth Immortal Realm.

After emerging from seclusion, you found that most of your Cultivation resources were depleted, practically gone.

You decided to first understand the situation of the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty before making further plans.

However, what you didn't expect was that the number of Humans in Dream City One had multiplied several times since you first arrived.

This abnormal phenomenon made you realize that something major must have happened in the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty.

After making some inquiries in Dream City One, you discovered that the entire Great Dream Immortal Dynasty had undergone drastic changes during the years you were in seclusion Cultivating.

Firstly, the war from five years ago had ended two years prior, concluding with a major defeat for the Human Race.

However, the final outcome was roughly consistent with your predictions.

You had actually guessed that the Eerie Clan would launch a sneak attack on the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty, but what you didn't expect was how weak the aristocratic families of the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty were, proving so vulnerable before a Weird Immortal King.

Even more unexpectedly, it was the Great Dream Immortal Emperor who ultimately had to intervene to repel the Eerie Clan.

Furthermore, after this intervention, the Great Dream Immortal Emperor's injuries worsened, becoming utterly beyond recovery.

Following this battle, over the next two years, the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty's territory was lost repeatedly, and its sphere of influence was now less than one-tenth of what it once was.

Aside from the Imperial Capital, which you currently knew of, only the ten core Human Race strongholds, Dream One to Dream Ten, remained.

At this moment, you realized the gravity of the situation.

Under these circumstances, as soon as the Great Dream Immortal Emperor falls, the Tai Xuan Immortal Realm will be completely lost, becoming controlled by the Eerie Clan, much like the Qingxuan World.

You knew it was time to start preparing to leave the Tai Xuan Immortal Realm.

Currently, using a Realm teleportation array to leave the Tai Xuan Immortal Realm was practically impossible; you could only rely on yourself to depart.

However, before leaving, you still planned to make a fortune within the Great Dream Immortal Sect.

Because you heard that in the past two years, the Great Dream Immortal Sect had been massively recruiting Disciples, offering more than double the Cultivation resources to anyone willing to join.

Upon hearing this news, you couldn't suppress the urge to return.

However, you calmly analyzed the current situation.

You were considered dead within the Great Dream Immortal Sect, and using a disguise to enter would easily lead to discovery; this path was unfeasible.

Ultimately, out of helplessness, you had to come up with a plausible reason to explain your resurrection.

One month later!

You arrived at the Imperial Capital of the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty and walked towards the Great Dream Immortal Sect.

“Those wishing to join the Sect, please register here!”

Upon arriving at the Great Dream Immortal Sect, an Outer Sect Disciple instinctively assumed you were there to join, as countless people had been joining every day since the Sect announced the doubling of Cultivation resources.

Hearing this, you unhurriedly took out your Great Dream Immortal Sect Inner Sect Disciple identity token from your Storage Ring.

When the Outer Sect Disciple saw the identity token in your hand, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately adopted a different demeanor.

“It turns out to be a Senior Brother from the Inner Sect, please come this way!”

As an Outer Sect Disciple in the Undergoing Tribulation Transcendence Realm, he wouldn't dare offend an Inner Sect Disciple in the Immortal Realm.

Seeing this, you didn't dwell on it, entering the Sect directly and heading towards the Inner Sect Immortal Cave.

Upon returning to your Immortal Cave, you found nothing inside, confirming for now that no one had moved into your Immortal Cave.

Afterward, you went to the Elder Hall to report your situation.

You told the Elder that you had fought a fierce battle with a Weird creature, and after killing it, you fell unconscious.

You told the Elder that when you awoke, you found no one around, and you were severely injured. Not knowing where to go, you returned to Dream City One to recover.

You told the Elder that you had just awoken from seclusion a month ago, and the first thing you did after waking was to return to the Great Dream Immortal Sect.

After learning of your situation, the Inner Sect Elder waved his hand, not paying much attention to your circumstances.

In his view, it was already quite remarkable for an Inner Sect Disciple in the Middle Stage of the Immortal Realm like you to survive the war.

Furthermore, he never once considered that you had fled from the battlefield.

Because, it was a long-standing rule in the Great Dream Immortal Sect: those who desert in battle shall be executed without mercy!

The Elder didn't believe you could escape from the sight of an Immortal King.

After understanding the situation, the Elder waved you off, telling you to collect your Cultivation resources and achieve a Breakthrough sooner.

You were momentarily stunned by this development.

You hadn't expected to return to the Great Dream Immortal Sect so easily and continue to receive resources to Cultivate.

On your way out of the Elder Hall, a subtle smile, almost imperceptible, appeared on your lips.

During this brief period after returning to the Great Dream Immortal Sect, you had largely deduced the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty's plan.

You knew that the Great Dream Immortal Sect was so eager to boost everyone's strength because it intended to make a desperate last stand.

You guessed that in the near future, perhaps five, perhaps ten years, but definitely not long, the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty would launch another war.

And this war would be the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty's final dance.

You were very clear that rather than waiting for the Great Dream Immortal Emperor's demise, the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty would launch a counterattack before he fell.

Such a simple truth was clear even to you, and you believed the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty was absolutely aware of it too.

Thus, the Great Dream Immortal Sect would allocate all its Cultivation resources to its Disciples, allowing everyone to rapidly raise their Realm to the extreme until the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty's strength reached a new height.

However, none of this mattered to you; you only needed to seize as many Cultivation resources as possible during this period.

After collecting your Cultivation resources, you headed straight for the martial arts competition registration area.

After registering for the martial arts competition, you were surprised to find that the Cultivation resources awarded for winning had also doubled.

This meant that the Cultivation resources you now obtained in one year were equivalent to what you previously received in two years.

Soon, the martial arts competition began.

Due to the previous war, most Immortal Realm Disciples had died in battle, and those who hadn't had already achieved a Breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Realm.

“Too bad, no familiar faces!”
