…

The most significant change was in his lifespan. More than six Jia had passed since Han Yi attended the Pure Yang Mountain Sword Immortal Assembly, which amounted to over 360 years.

Back then, he was just over eight hundred years old, but now he was over twelve hundred years old.

And in these more than three hundred and sixty years of cultivation, his gains were immense.

This period spanned more than half of his previous eight hundred years.

In terms of Immortal Path realm, he had reached the Limit Profound Immortal, and his Immortal Power was just a hair’s breadth away from the third-layer’s completion, so a breakthrough was within his grasp.

In the Ancient God System, although progress was slower, he had broken through to the peak of the Supreme State a year ago.

His mastery of Sword Control in the sixth-stage had deepened, hence promoting the Sword Realm to the level of a fifth-stage Immortal Skill.

As for the Mental Realm and Infant Morphing skills, he hadn’t spent much time on them in recent years, so they remained at the level of fourth-stage Immortal Skills.

This was the sum total of his gains over these six Jia.

“The path of the Immortal is endless, and seclusion knows no bounds,” Han Yi thought to himself with a deeper understanding of this adage.

In the world of Divine Force,

he slowly made his way toward the small Divine Force space, his form gradually shrinking until he assumed the size of an ordinary person. After arriving in the small space, he left the bottom of the lake and returned to the sub-sect.

Over the years, he hadn’t made any changes to this small space entrance at the bottom of Jade Lake except for adding some extremely subtle markings, legible only to him, to avoid attracting too much attention from other Immortals.

Upon his return to the sub-sect, Han Yi received a piece of news.

This message had arrived ten years ago, and it had been seventy-six years since Han Yi last left the Divine Force World. At that time, he was only a step away from the peak of the Supreme State and had been in urgent need of seclusion for cultivation, so after making proper arrangements, he descended into Jade Lake.

To this day, even he hadn’t expected that his seclusion would last this long.

Standing before him was the Sect Master of the sub-sect, the Profound Immortal Geng Changqiu.

Back when Han Yi had raised an army in the east, to secure a retreat route for his sect, he had made Geng Changqiu his Immortal Slave.

Of course,

despite being an Immortal Slave, Han Yi seldom asked him to do anything; he generally left Geng Changqiu to his own devices, especially after Donghuang withdrew his forces, the Age Candle Dao Ancestor returned, and the Immortal Realm stabilized again.

Furthermore,

with the establishment and expansion of Xianyi Pavilion, as one of its external footholds, both the Green Shu Mountain Range and the Jade Lake sub-sect had reaped considerable benefits.

Even Geng Changqiu had secured substantial resources, enabling his advancement to the seasoned rank of Profound Immortal a hundred years ago.

Fortune and misfortune are intertwined; such is the way of the world.

“The Ancient Dome Tao Way?”

Han Yi held a jade slip marked with the aura of Jin Ming Taoist, his eyes shimmering with light.

Jin Ming Taoist had emerged from seclusion two hundred and twenty years ago, but unfortunately, although he had made some gains, he had not broken through to the Realm of Immortal Monarch.

Han Yi too felt this was regrettable, for if Jin Ming Taoist had broken through to Immortal Monarch, Han Yi would have gained another powerful ally.

And this jade slip sent by Jin Ming Taoist mainly pertained to rumors about something called ‘the Ancient Dome Tao Way.’

In the Immortal Realm, through the primeval, ancient, and recent eras, countless powerful Immortals have emerged over many thousands of years. Heavenly Sovereigns are few, but there are many Dao Ancestors, and their number of fallen cannot be counted.

In the last epoch, which was the seventh epoch, there was a Dao Ancestor named Ancient Dome. This Dao Ancestor was passionate about exploring Chaos. He was skilled in investigation, and each time he returned from Chaos, he would always bring back many treasures.

However, Chaos is not safe but extremely dangerous. If one walks the dangerous path too often, disaster will inevitably strike.

In the middle of the seventh epoch, this Dao Ancestor returned severely injured and fell shortly after. When a Dao Ancestor falls, the heavens and earth weep, and anomalies appear.

This Dao Ancestor had not established an Immortal Court but merely one lineage, the Ancient Dome Taoist Temple. After the fall of the Ancient Dome Dao Ancestor, the temple gradually declined, and within ten thousand years, it crumbled and disbanded.

The Ancient Dome Taoist Temple was even destroyed in an Immortal Fight.

However, when the Ancient Dome Taoist Temple was destroyed, the mountain on which it stood, called the Ancient Dome Mountain, exhibited a miraculous phenomenon.

A phantom ladder, extending all the way from the Ancient Dome Mountain to the limitless heights of the sky, vanished into the void without end in sight.

Immortals who climbed it could step into a mysterious realm upon reaching the end of the ladder. Within that realm, there were many trials; those who passed the corresponding tests would obtain treasures accordingly.

Those treasures were collected by the Ancient Dome Dao Ancestor throughout his life, and it was even rumored that Chaos treasures existed.

If one reached the very end, they could even gain the inheritance of the Ancient Dome Dao Ancestor.

No matter what method was used, if one did not ascend step by step, it was impossible to enter this mysterious space.

Some Immortals refused to believe it and, avoiding the ladder, flew high in pursuit of its end. But once they reached the void, they discovered that the ladder penetrated the mysterious space in the void and vanished without a trace.

After the appearance of this mysterious ladder, it drew countless Immortals to climb it, and due to its origin, it came to be known as the Ancient Dome Tao Way.

The Ancient Dome Tao Way appeared for ten years, then vanished without trace, and even Dao Ancestors who visited Ancient Dome Mountain could not find any sign of it.

Therefore, Immortals in the Immortal Realm speculated that the realm connected by the Ancient Dome Tao Way was not fixed, but a moving realm, and this realm was thus named Ancient Firmament Realm.

Such realms were not uncommon in the Primeval Great World; for instance, the Yuandao World that Han Yi had entered before was also a realm that moved within the Nine Realms.

In the years that followed, many Immortals continued to search for the Ancient Firmament Realm and the Ancient Dome Tao Way, hoping to obtain treasures, divine treasures, and even the inheritance of Dao Ancestors, but all to no avail.

Jin Ming, the Golden Immortal, sent him a jade slip, informing Han Yi that the Ancient Dome Tao Way had appeared. Its location was not within the Daluo Immortal Realm, but among the Extreme North Void.

This mysterious realm, which had disappeared for a hundred and fifty thousand years, had once again appeared.

Furthermore,

Jin Ming Taoist mentioned in the jade slip he sent that it was the command of the Original Art Immortal Monarch for all Immortals of the Original Art Dojo to go and attempt the climb.

Because in the seventh epoch, when the Original Art Immortal Monarch first became a True Immortal, he ascended the Tao Way upon its appearance and entered the Ancient Firmament Realm. As a result, he obtained a sixth-stage Immortal Artifact, which allowed him to rise swiftly, forming the foundation of an Immortal Monarch.

Han Yi reviewed the jade slip and felt a hint of regret.

Having sequestered himself in closed-door cultivation for many years, ten years had already passed since Jin Ming Taoist sent that jade slip, and according to records from the last epoch, the Ancient Dome Tao Way also appeared for just ten years before it disappeared.

Unless there was a change, by the time he headed for the northern void now, he would likely be too late.

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked Geng Changqiu,

“Are you aware of any tales about the Ancient Firmament Realm and the Ancient Dome Tao Way spreading in the Immortal Realm?”

Geng Changqiu pondered for a moment, then shook his head in denial, “I have not heard of such things.”

“There was no mention of what you call ‘Ancient Dome’ in the messages exchanged with the main sect a month ago.”

Han Yi nodded in acknowledgment.

It seems that the Ancient Dome Tao Way that appeared in the Extreme North Void had been monopolized by the Age Candle Immortal Court.

Perhaps only the Immortals of the Immortal Court could step onto it and make the attempt.

With this thought, Han Yi packed up and left the Jade Lake Sub-sect via the sect’s Transmission Array, heading back to the Green Shu Mountain Range, and then hurried towards the dojo in the Original Art Immortal Domain.

Upon arriving at the Original Art Dojo and meeting Jin Ming Taoist, he learned that the Ancient Dome Tao Way had not disappeared. In fact, it wasn’t naturally occurring, but had been fixed in place by a Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Court.

And that Dao Ancestor was not the Age Candle Dao Ancestor, but one known as Calamity.

“Calamity Dao Ancestor!” Han Yi felt a jolt inside.

He suddenly remembered the Dao figure he saw on Ten Thousand Calamities Peak, and the incident where he had been teleported back at the boundary wall from the Chaos by a presence similar to the Dao figure.

“Yes, Calamity Dao Ancestor.”

“Calamity Dao Ancestor traveled through the void and discovered that Ancient Firmament Realm. But even with his abilities as a Dao Ancestor, he could not directly breach the realm. He could only draw out the ladder, and the duration he could maintain it was thirty-six years.”

“It just so happens that I also wish to go, so let us go together,” suggested Jin Ming Taoist. After some thought, Han Yi agreed to accompany him.

While he was curious about the Ancient Firmament Realm and the Ancient Dome Tao Way, he was more eager to meet Calamity Dao Ancestor. After all, the Calamity Dao Ancestor had saved his life in Chaos. Despite the vast difference in their realms, if possible, he wanted to personally express his gratitude!
