432: Enter, a gathering of storms

She paused, lowering her voice a few shades, a hint of mystery in her tone: "Those who emerge from it, besides retaining only the memory of that world's name, will also acquire numerous great Divine Abilities and Cultivation Techniques, various Heaven And Earth Treasures, and some even obtain origin supreme treasures. These items directly appear within their inner worlds or storage equipment."

"Therefore, there are many conjectures about that world." Yu Jiao's tone was solemn, "Some have speculated that the Nirvana Realm was created by a First generationSaint of the Immortal-Demon Realm, existing solely to bestow resources upon the younger Prodigies of the Immortal-Demon Realm. Others guess that the Nirvana Realm is a testing ground for some great existence, where people enter merely to undergo a trial, and the things they bring out are simply rewards for participating in the trial. There are many other conjectures, but none have solid proof."

"These are merely the most widely circulated legends; the era is too distant, and it's impossible to verify their authenticity," Yu Jiao added, "But what's beyond doubt is that this Nirvana Realm certainly holds great fortune, and without risk! To this day, no one has perished within it, and everyone has brought out a large number of treasures and Cultivation Techniques, even origin supreme treasures and alternative methods of achieving sainthood."

At this point, her breathing quickened slightly: "origin supreme treasures! Those are essential for condensing Dao fruits and even advancing through Severed Corpse! Normally, the appearance of an ownerless Low Grade origin supreme treasure is enough to cause Quasi-Saints to fight fiercely. Yet, in this Nirvana Realm, each time it opens, a considerable number of origin supreme treasures are sure to appear, and there were even legends of top-grade origin supreme treasures emerging! The alternative methods of achieving sainthood are an even greater Opportunity."

Xiao Zhuo listened quietly, divine light flowing in his eyes.

Massive amounts of treasures, alternative methods of achieving sainthood, origin supreme treasures, no risks... Each point was enough to shake the Immortal Realm, no wonder so many Old Ancestors were drawn out.

Each of these items was of immense use to him. Although he had already begun using the panel to deduce the method of proving the Dao with strength to achieve the Great saint position, it still required a century. If he could obtain the alternative methods of achieving sainthood from within the Nirvana Realm, drawing inferences from them, this time could certainly be greatly reduced.

"So that's how it is." He slowly nodded, gaining a clear understanding of the Nirvana Realm's value, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for clarifying."

Since the transaction was complete, Xiao Zhuo no longer delayed.

He raised his hand again; this time, what flowed from his fingertips was the silver-glowing power of space-time. He directly increased his power from the previous 10% to 30%, and pointed a finger out once more.

"Break!"

As his fingertip descended, there was no earth-shattering explosion, only a faint "crack" sound, like shattering glass.

The incredibly resilient formation light barrier shattered in response! It transformed into countless firefly-like Yin and Yang Qi, rapidly dissipating into the air.

With the seal broken, Yu Jiao felt a lightness throughout her body.

She gazed deeply at Xiao Zhuo, suppressing her complex emotions, and cupped her hands, saying: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your assistance! There's no time to lose, let's go in now!"

Xiao Zhuo nodded, saying nothing more. His figure flickered, transforming into a streak of light that shot directly towards the entrance of the dark purple passage.

Dilamon and the freed Yu Jiao followed closely behind.

Just as the three were about to disappear into the passage, several more streaks of light sped from the distant horizon. Their powerful auras indicated they were Peak Immortal King realm experts.

They saw the retreating figures of Xiao Zhuo and the other two from afar, as well as the dissipating residual aura of the Yin and Yang formation. Feeling the faint yet heart-palpitating Quasi-Saint pressure emanating from the three, they were immediately terrified and stopped at a distance, not daring to advance another inch. They could only watch helplessly as Xiao Zhuo and the other two were the first to vanish into the passage's light, until their auras completely disappeared. Only then did these few individuals breathe a sigh of relief, exchanged wary glances, and then rushed towards the passage in a scramble... Almost within ten breaths after Xiao Zhuo and the other two entered, the space above the sky where the Nirvana Realm passage was located was silently torn apart like a curtain.

A figure, clad in imperial robes, wearing a crown, and surrounded by the Qi of creation, stepped out. His majestic gaze was almost tangible, sweeping over the still-rotating dark purple passage below and the scattered Immortal Kings who had arrived but dared not move due to his oppressive aura.

It was none other than the Lord of the Heavenly Court — Haotian God (Jade Emperor)!

Behind him, three equally powerful figures emerged consecutively, divine light vast and Laws following them. They were the three Emperor Monarchs, Ziwei, Changsheng, and Emperor, who had rushed over after receiving the news!

"It has already opened; it seems we are still a step late." Haotian God (Jade Emperor)'s voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable majesty. His gaze was profound as he looked towards the passage, "Just now, two familiar auras seemed to have entered first."

"Your Majesty, there's no time to lose." Emperor Ziwei cupped his hands, a burning eagerness in his eyes.

Haotian God (Jade Emperor) nodded slightly, about to lead the three Emperor Monarchs in.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just then, from multiple directions — east, south, west — vast energy fluctuations erupted simultaneously.

Immortal light shone brightly, auspicious clouds paved the way, and the Qingluan imperial carriage from Penglai Immortal Island tore through the clouds. Upon it stood several Quasi-Saint Old Ancestors with ancient auras.

The Nine Phoenix treasure carriage from Jade Pool Holy Land scattered endless brilliance. Venerable Tianwei, though not present herself, had sent the renowned battle-hardened Quasi-Saint Xuanzhan and his Disciples.

From the direction of Kunlun Mountain, Dragon roars shook the heavens. A giant ink-jade Qilin stepped through the Void Realm, carrying on its back a white-haired old Daoist who sat with eyes closed in meditation, yet was impossible to ignore.

Almost simultaneously, Buddhist light illuminated the western sky, and chants resonated. A giant nine-grade golden lotus slowly rotated into view, upon which sat several solemn Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The leader, holding prayer beads and with a compassionate expression, was the leader of the Western Buddhist Kingdom this time — King Buddha Guangri!

The Immortal Realm's top forces had, in this short span of time, almost all gathered here!

Even in the Void Realm near the dark purple passage, a few extremely subtle Devilish Qi fluctuations flickered and vanished, clearly indicating that magnates from the Demon Realm had also quietly arrived through some unknown means, waiting for an Opportunity.

The scene instantly became extremely delicate and tense.

Haotian God (Jade Emperor)'s gaze swept across the various factions, his expression unchanged, but his eyes deepened.

The Nirvana Realm's opening this time was extremely sudden, and its impact was even greater than he had anticipated.

"Go!" He no longer hesitated, letting out a low shout, and was the first to transform into a dazzling imperial light, shooting into the passage.

The three Heavenly Court Emperor Monarchs immediately followed.

Seeing this, the other factions also stopped their hesitation, each displaying their Divine Abilities, transforming into streaks of powerful light of various colors, rushing into the dark purple passage in a scramble, fearing that if they were a step late, that immense Opportunity would be snatched by others.

The originally silent extreme cold domain of Beiju Luzhou, due to the sudden opening of this Nirvana Realm, instantly became the focal point of the entire Immortal Realm and even the Demon Realm, a convergence of power and attention!

As the major top forces of the Immortal Realm entered, several powerful Devilish Qi immediately materialized and also rushed into the passage, seemingly unafraid of the large number of Immortal Realm powerhouses ahead.
