Chapter 1289: Chapter 535: Thunder Ladder Lock, Pill Refining Predicament_1 Chapter 1289: Chapter 535: Thunder Ladder Lock, Pill Refining Predicament_1 “Calamity Tao Ancestor is the second Ancestor of our Immortal Court,”

Jin Ming Taoist’s expression became slightly serious.

“More than three hundred years ago, Pure Yang Ancestor came into the world and founded Pure Yang Mountain.”

“Since then, up until now, three more Ancestors have successively appeared in the Immortal Realm.”

“Taicang Ancestral Master of Lingxiao, Calamity Tao Ancestor of Age Candle, and another who did not establish an Immortal Court — Zhen Yuan Ancestral Master.”

“Taicang, Calamity, Zhen Yuan, these three Ancestors did not enter the world at the same time.”

“Taicang appeared first, roughly three hundred years ago; it is rumored he was a disciple of Ancestor Lingxiao, but no one knows the true details.”

“Calamity Tao Ancestor entered the world one hundred and thirty years ago.”

“You should be familiar with Ten Thousand Calamities Heaven; Calamity Tao Ancestor is the lord of Ten Thousand Calamities Heaven, who has undergone countless tribulations to attest to the title of Ancestor.”

“As for Zhen Yuan Ancestral Master, he appeared forty years ago. He has not established a major force, and it is rumored that in the Realm Heavens where he resides, there is a place called Wuzhuang Temple, but other information has not been widely known.”

“Of course, the emergence of these three Ancestors is also, for the time being, only known to beings above the Immortal Monarch level.”

“Han Yi, you are not an outsider. Now that you know this, try not to spread it, lest it displeases a certain Ancestor.”

Han Yi quickly agreed.

At the same time, he took a deep breath, his expression turning solemn, and said, “The three Ancestors would not have entered the world for no reason. Could there be some astonishing change behind this?”

“That’s right, there’s also Pure Yang Ancestor. The timing of him founding Pure Yang Mountain is also quite curious.”

“Four Ancestors, what could be the reason that caused them to enter the world one after another in just over three hundred years?”

Han Yi remembered what Taiyuan had said, that Pure Yang Ancestor came into the world presumably to refine the Chaotic Sword Embryo and vie for the position of Sword Tao Heavenly Sovereign.

However, the other three had different circumstances. Taicang and Calamity were both part of the Immortal Court, effectively the second in command, whereas Zhen Yuan’s arrival was like a fleeting comet, without establishing a force, and only some Immortals were aware of his entry into the world.

Jin Ming Taoist shook his head and said frankly, “I do not know.”

He then added, “Not to mention me, maybe even the Immortal Venerates such as Tao Tomb and others don’t know, and perhaps only a few Ancestors are privy to the inside story.”

As the two were conversing, they had already taken the Transmission Array at the Original Art Dojo, teleporting to the north of Age Candle, to an Immortal City known as North Pole.

The North Pole Immortal City, corresponding to the South Pole Immortal City within the South Pole Immortal Territory belonging to Pure Yang Mountain, are mutually reinforcing, serving as the north and south poles of Immortal Cities in the Daluo Immortal Realm.

Leaving North Pole Immortal City, Jin Ming Taoist brought Han Yi into the Endless Void to the north. After three days, they arrived at a mysterious location.

This mysterious location, when viewed from outside the Void, appeared to be a fortress cluster made up of dozens of Immortal Castles. Around the periphery of this fortress cluster, Immortals from Age Candle Immortal Court were on guard and patrolling.

Han Yi understood that though the Expedition to the Wisdom Realm had failed, it had indirectly announced the end of the countless years of slaughter between the two realms, providing many powers within the Daluo Immortal Realm with an opportunity to recuperate and catch their breath.

Afterward, the numerous Immortal Castles in the Outer Domain Void, whether the remaining giant Immortal Castles from the Expedition or the original smaller ones, were all incorporated into nine Immortal Castle clusters by the Immortal Court, patrolling the border Void of Age Candle Immortal Court’s territories.

This approach considered two factors: one was to prevent any lingering forces from the Wisdom Realm, and the other was to stop the Evil Clan from bypassing the Void and landing in the northeastern part of Age Candle.

The place that Jin Ming Taoist brought him to now was one such Immortal Castle cluster.

The Immortal Castle was enormous; once unfolded, it was comparable to a small world.

After identity verification and passing through three connected small worlds within the Immortal Castles, in front of them, the expanse was no longer empty, but featured an illusory celestial ladder towering within the Void.

Around this ladder, countless massive thunders connected from the circle of Immortal Castles encircling it to the midst of this illusory ladder.

These thunderbolts, though incessantly flickering, seemed almost tangible, resembling enormous chains.

But at first glance, Han Yi knew they were not chains but actual thunderbolts because these bolts shared the same atmospheres of Divine Tribulation as the Law Divine Thunder he encountered during his tribulation in the Primordial Realm during his time in Ten Thousand Calities Heaven.

However, these were not formed by Law but by Tao Principle, a set of rules even more powerful than Law.

At this moment,

Countless thunderbolts, one end connected to the surrounding Immortal Castles, and the other end embedded into the illusory ladder, seemed intent on binding this ladder, which could vanish at any moment, to this place.

The ladder was illusory, and the ends of the thunderbolts were equally ethereal.

Looking up into the Void, Han Yi could only see the ladder vaguely penetrating into empty space, disappearing from sight.

“This is the… Ancient Dome Tao Way!”

Han Yi took a deep breath, his heart thunderstruck.

“Yes, this ladder has been here for ten years. According to what Calamity Tao Ancestor said, although he has temporarily secured this ladder, he can only maintain it for thirty-six years. Once time is up, the ladder will vanish again, and even Calamity Tao Ancestor will find it nearly impossible to locate.”

“That’s why I sent a message to you ten years ago, calling you to give it a try,”

Jin Ming Taoist’s eyes also shone with divine light; not only Han Yi wanted to attempt ascending the ladder. He had been in retreat for many years and, despite some gains, knew his foundation was not solid enough. Despite being only one step away from Immortal Monarch, that step seemed to leave him without any prospect of crossing.

Perhaps, within the domain that this ladder leads to–the Ancient Firmament Realm Heavens, lay a treasure that could help him take that final step.

Therefore, despite the slim chances, he did not want to miss any possibility.
