The origin of the Nine Heavens!

When Yu Weichen uttered these words, it was nothing short of a thunderclap to everyone present.

After all, everyone present, with the exception of Zhong Qing and his two True Disciples, Lin Feng and Du Hao, were all Pseudo-Immortals, regardless of their varying cultivation levels.

Moreover, they had all been treading the path of Pseudo Immortal Nine Revolutions for countless years, enduring untold sweat and hardship.

Yet, no one complained.

After all, above the Great Emperor is the Pseudo-Immortal, and Pseudo Immortal Nine Revolutions leads to True Immortal Ascension—this has been the consensus of all cultivators in the Second Heaven for countless years.

Now you’re telling me Pseudo-Immortal is a detour, a wrong path, and shouldn’t exist?

Are you kidding?

If anyone else had said this, the crowd would have probably dismissed it, or even scoffed aloud.

Those with bad tempers might even have been provoked to beat up the speaker.

But now, these words came from the Old Ancestor of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, a genuine True Immortal.

They dared not fight, and they couldn’t even laugh.

Xu Qianfeng was stunned, blurting out instinctively, “This… what are you saying? How could Pseudo Immortal Nine Revolutions be a wrong path?”

“According to the Sect’s records, even you, didn’t you achieve True Immortal Ascension after experiencing Pseudo Immortal Nine Revolutions?”

Others aside, he was a Peak Nine Revolutions Pseudo-Immortal, having reached the pinnacle of this path, just one step away from achieving True Immortal Ascension.

And now he’s being told this is a wrong path?

Yu Weichen sighed softly and nodded, “You are not wrong; this Old Ancestor also experienced Pseudo Immortal Nine Revolutions, so in truth, this Old Ancestor also took the wrong path, which is why this Old Ancestor can only stop at the current Realm.”

“What exactly happened? Please, Old Ancestor, explain clearly!”

In his urgency, Xu Qianfeng even disregarded the difference in status and seniority, hastily asking.

Zhong Qing remained silent, though he was also quite curious about this.

Although Yu Weichen seemed to have misunderstood something, he himself would eventually need to continue advancing and achieve Immortal Ascension in the future.

Naturally, he wouldn’t be unconcerned about this.

As he was a junior from his own lineage, Yu Weichen didn’t dwell on Xu Qianfeng’s impoliteness; instead, he sighed again.

“Pseudo-Immortal, Pseudo-Immortal. If one could become a True Immortal, who would choose to be a Pseudo-Immortal?”

He raised his head, seemingly looking into the distance, yet his gaze appeared not to be fixed on the present, but rather transcending endless time, looking back at the long river of history from eons ago.

“The cultivation of the Human Race has always been a step-by-step progression, continuously moving towards the pinnacle.”

“Those ancient pioneers, comprehending all things in heaven and earth, improving themselves, advanced one after another, opening up one Realm after another.”

“The Realm of Great Emperor is called ‘Emperor’ precisely because the first to reach this Realm were the leaders of the ancient Human Race, the emperors of old.”

“And when a Great Emperor condenses a Dao Seed, ultimately forming a Dao Fruit, it signifies reaching the pinnacle of being human; beyond that, lies the domain of Immortals.”

“In ancient times, emperors transcended the mortal Realm and transformed into Immortals.”

“Indeed, in the Primordial Era, there was no Realm of Pseudo-Immortal; after a Great Emperor experienced the Three Calamities, he could directly achieve Immortal Ascension.”

“And the earliest Sect Ancestors were the Disciples of these ancient Great Emperors; they followed in the footsteps of the emperors, ascending one after another. Then they also emulated the Great Emperors, imparting Dao and knowledge, establishing Sects, and leading our Human Race to true prosperity.”

“The reason the Human Race can become the spiritual essence of all beings is that we do not rely entirely on our own Bloodline talents, but rather inherit cultivation experiences from generation to generation, from master to Disciple, and continuously expand and elevate them.”

“Therefore, we will only grow stronger and stronger, Immortals will only become more and more numerous, and ultimately, we will stand above all races.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a sense of longing.

“However, countless years ago, a world-shattering catastrophe occurred.”

“I do not know much about the truth of that great calamity, but what I do know is that the final outcome was that the Alliance, led by the Human Race, suffered immense losses.”

“To preserve their species, the strongest few races among the myriad races, including the Human Race, each contributed their supreme Immortal Artifacts, eight in total, as a fallback for their respective races.”

“Numerous ancient True Immortals then jointly refined a ninth supreme Immortal Artifact to serve as the central core, combining the other eight supreme Immortal Artifacts.” “Afterward, they employed great magical power and Divine Ability to directly relocate and send the then-center of the Myriad Races Alliance, the Central Continent, along with vast surrounding regions and countless blessed lands, into the Immortal Artifacts, ultimately forming the present Nine Heavens.”

“In this process, countless ancient True Immortals burned through their lives; subsequently, the remaining True Immortal powerhouses, leading the surviving people of various races from the great calamity, entered the Nine Heavens to escape the disaster, continuing to this day.”

Everyone knew of the Nine Heavens, but only today did they learn of its Origin, and they were all deeply shaken.

Even having witnessed the methods of a True Immortal, it was difficult to imagine such truly world-altering, almost creation-like, terrifying methods.

Yet, even with such methods, and even possessing supreme Immortal Artifacts, they could not resist the so-called world-ending calamity and had to resort to such means to avoid disaster.

One truly couldn’t imagine how terrifying that great calamity must have been.

But what Yu Weichen was about to say had only just begun.

“At that time, the Human Race was undoubtedly the strongest among all races; in fact, out of those eight supreme Immortal Artifacts, three belonged to the Human Race at that time.”

“These three supreme Immortal Artifacts formed the First and Second Heavens, as well as the Eighth Heaven, which is second only to the central Ninth Heaven.”

“These three Heavens are now the primary gathering places for the Human Race.”

“This time, this Old Ancestor has come down from the Eighth Heaven.”

Zhong Qing stroked his chin, “So that’s how it is. The Nine Heavens came to be this way. But what does this have to do with you saying that Pseudo-Immortal is a wrong path?”

“Don’t be in a hurry.” Yu Weichen shook his head, “This Old Ancestor is just about to begin.”

“After the myriad races migrated into the Nine Heavens, they indeed avoided the world-ending calamity outside and were able to continue their existence.”

“Within the supreme Immortal Artifacts, Spiritual Qi was abundant, every place was like the blessed Immortal Mansions of old, and cultivation was even faster than before.”

“As the various races, full of ambition, prepared to recuperate and gather strength within the Nine Heavens, awaiting the day they could return to the outside world—.”

“—a fatal problem arose.”

“Within the Nine Heavens, it was no longer possible to directly Breakthrough from Great Emperor to True Immortal!”

Upon hearing this, everyone present was startled.

Xu Qianfeng, as the person with the highest actual cultivation present besides Yu Weichen, seemed to have thought of something upon hearing this, and his expression changed, “Could it be that…”

“Precisely.” Yu Weichen sighed, “Cultivation before the Great Emperor Realm involves comprehending the external heaven and earth, from Laws to rules to Dao Fruits, ultimately achieving Immortal Ascension by forming the Origin rules from the Dao Fruit.”

“However, the Nine Heavens are formed by nine supreme Immortal Artifacts. Although it seems to contain everything, its fundamental rules are actually different from the outside world.”

“The supreme Immortal Artifacts possess their own Origin rules. Under their influence, the Dao Fruits formed by comprehending the heaven and earth within the Nine Heavens are inherently malformed!”
