Chapter 1370 - Chapter 1370 Chapter 574 The Seventh Hall of Taishan

Chapter 1370: Chapter 574: The Seventh Hall of Taishan, Dongming’s Astonishment Chapter 1370: Chapter 574: The Seventh Hall of Taishan, Dongming’s Astonishment The Penglai Immortal Realm had no Immortal Court system, but instead was home to four great Tao Sects. Below the Tao Sects lay countless large and small Immortal Sects, which were divided into nine tiers.

Purple Sun Tao Sect was one of the four great Tao Sects, and within the boundary of Purple Sun Tao Sect, there was a ninth-tier Immortal Sect called the Dharma Origin Sect.

The place where Han Yi had once faced the Profound Immortal Calamity was within the bounds of the Dharma Origin Sect, in the Miao Lei Region.

At the time of the calamity, due to a fortuitous misunderstanding, he acquired the inheritance of the Qingyan Knife.

And this inheritance of the Qingyan Knife came from a dark organization within the territory of the Dharma Origin Sect known as Black Yama.

Later, when Han Yi encountered the Lord of Beimang Mountain in the void east of Penglai, the Lord had also once been a Qingyan Ghost, and after his death, his Divine Soul was enslaved by Black Yama, becoming a sinister rune hanging on a wall.

That year, Han Yi accepted a favor from the Lord of Beimang Mountain, receiving the core essences of the Beimang Immortal Sutra, thus owing him a favor. He promised that when the time was right, he would choose a cultivator to inherit the Lord of Beimang Mountain’s legacy.

While Immortal Monarch Dongming led Han Yi to the outskirts of the Abyssal Demon Nest within that area of Folded Space, in a mysterious Cave Heaven within the territory of the Dharma Origin Sect in Penglai Immortal Realm, within one of the two core strongholds of Black Yama, a gaunt figure opened his eyes.

If an Immortal Monarch of the Dharma Origin Sect were here, they would undoubtedly recognize this gaunt figure: he was one of the ten Hall Masters of Black Yama, the Seventh Hall, Taishan King.

Black Yama, as an evil underground force able to operate within the territory of the Dharma Origin Sect without being exterminated for tens of thousands of years, had its upper echelons divided into ten halls.

These ten halls were: the First Hall, Qin Guang King; the Second Hall, Chu Jiang King; the Third Hall, Song Di King; the Fourth Hall, Wu Guan King; the Fifth Hall, Yama King; the Sixth Hall, Bian Cheng King; the Seventh Hall, Taishan King; the Eighth Hall, Du Shi King; the Ninth Hall, Ping Deng King; and the Tenth Hall, Zhuan Lun King.

The master of these ten halls was the Fifth Hall, Yama King, who also had another title, Black Yama, which is why this organization is known as Black Yama.

It was rumored that Black Yama was an Immortal Venerate, and not just any Immortal Venerate, but a top-tier one, able to rebuild Black Yama despite repeated extermination attempts by the Dharma Origin Sect, because even if the other nine hall Yamas perished, given enough time, new Yamas could be restored and the ten halls could be completed again.

Black Yama had countless Immortal Monarch-level inheritances, and the Qingyan Knife was one of them, and it belonged to the realm of Taishan King.

Hundreds of years ago, the Immortal in charge of the Qingyan Knife discovered that the Divine Soul of the Lord of Beimang Mountain had dissipated, and reported it to Taishan King in great shock.

Taishan King, wary of the Daluo Immortal Realm, had had his share of dangerous experiences there and knew that with the numerous upheavals in the Daluo Immortal Realm over the past hundreds of years, even as an Immortal Monarch he would find it difficult to escape if he encountered any mishap.

He was well aware of why the Daluo Immortal Realm was so prone to disaster and calamity, as it was situated in the southeastern position within the Extreme Ancient Nine Realms, where the boundary wall of the Ancient Great World was weakest. Even beings below the level of a Heavenly Sovereign could easily come and go, whereas in other places, even a Heavenly Sovereign might not be able to breach it.

For countless millennia, when the Extreme Ancient shattered, the southeastern part of the boundary wall was torn, leaving a gap.

Moreover, the direction in which the Eternal Wisdom Great World lay was also the southeastern part of Extreme Ancient.

Therefore, Daluo was extremely prone to attracting Primordial Guests, resulting in disasters and calamities.

Although the Divine Soul of the Lord of Beimang Mountain had dissipated and the Qingyan Knife had fallen into the Daluo Immortal Realm, Taishan King was not eager to set out immediately, unwilling to venture into the unpredictable Daluo Immortal Realm. He wanted to wait until Daluo had stabilized before reclaiming the Qingyan Knife.

After all, with more than twenty thousand years left until the end of the era, there would be times when the Primordial Guests would cease their disturbances, and a few thousand years were nothing for permitting an ordinary Profound Immortal to grow; at most, they could become a Golden Immortal and still not escape his palm.

As for the death of the Lord of Beimang Mountain, he could only blame the man for no longer wanting to live, perhaps taking the opportunity to end his own life.

Between life and death lies great terror.

Those who became Qingyan Ghosts and received the branding, though they lost their freedom, still had hope of walking the Immortal Realm again. It took great courage for the Lord of Beimang Mountain to end his own life.

This time, sensing the aura of the Qingyan Knife appearing not far from Penglai Immortal Realm in the void, the Hall Master of Taishan decisively chose to act, ready to personally retrieve the Qingyan Knife and capture that cunning Profound Immortal Divine Soul, enslaving it.

The Hall Master of Taishan departed from the core Cave Heaven of Black Yama, heading straight into the Void.

…

Han Yi was unaware that merely by drawing close to the Penglai Immortal Realm had drawn an Immortal Monarch on his trail, and the Qingyan Knife left in one of his Divine Apertures had almost been forgotten by him.

This peculiar knife, with its exceedingly gruesome and sinister method of refinement, was utterly of a demonic path; Han Yi could never cultivate with it, so he simply tossed it into one of his Divine Aperture worlds.

And in this Divine Aperture world, an Innate Divine Spirit happened upon the Qingyan Knife, claiming it and intending to use Divine Force to reforge this sinister blade anew.

Of all this, Han Yi was unaware. The number of Divine Apertures within his body had long surpassed the Number of Origin, and their quantity far exceeded his imagination. Many of the Spiritual Treasures and Immortal Artifacts he had acquired earlier had been flung into his Divine Aperture worlds, left at the discretion of the Innate Divine Spirits.

This was the essential path of multidimensional development for Divine Aperture worlds. In this aspect, Han Yi followed the Ancient Gods Cultivation manners of Ancient times or even those of Extreme Ancient.

Upon entering this area of Folded Space, his form became Traceless, and Immortal Monarch Dongming, following him, was suddenly shocked. For at this moment, had he not seen with his own eyes, if he had closed his eyes, he would have been wholly unable to sense Han Yi’s presence in front of him.
