this fiery red feather is not merely a simple feather; the feather is just its outward form.

In essence, it is the ninth life’s demon body of Eastern Emperor Unique, which, after absorbing divine force and the Abyssal Demon Crystal along with the entire Demon Nest, transformed to just before becoming an Immortal Monarch, leaving behind an essence of insight.

This essence could greatly assist any Peak Golden Immortal in advancing to Immortal Monarch, let alone Han Yi, who was already at the pinnacle of the Golden Immortal stage, only half a step away from ascending to Immortal Monarch.

Therefore,

Han Yi guessed that after absorbing this feather, he would surely step into Immortal Monarch status, reducing countless years of arduous cultivation, which was undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity for him.

Of course,

the void is perilous, and his current position is equidistant from Penglai and Daluo, especially since the Demon Nest had just shattered and he had just slain Black Yama and Taishan King here; this place was far from safe. Naturally, he would not absorb it on the spot, but planned to attempt the breakthrough after returning to the Immortal Court.

As for overcoming the Taiyi Immortal Monarch Tribulation, he would also need to find a safe area with protection from an Immortal Venerate of the Immortal Court, such as Original Art Immortal Monarch providing assistance, which would be ideal.

As these thoughts flickered through his mind, he turned to look at Immortal Monarch Dongming, who was waiting for him. Seeing Han Yi look over, he clasped his hands and said,

“Thank you for your assistance this time, Han. Now that the affair of the Demon Nest has concluded, do you have other destinations, or will you return to the Immortal Court with me?”

Han Yi did not hesitate and said, “Then let’s go back together; having each other’s company along the way makes it safer.”

Immortal Monarch Dongming led the way forward and, following Han Yi’s words, smiled and said, “Your strength far surpasses mine, Han.

“To say ‘keeping each other company’ does not seem quite right; rather, it is I who will be safer with you.”

His tone shifted.

“However, given your strength, you are only half a step from Immortal Monarch. This return will surely lead to your breakthrough. Here, I, Dongming, would like to congratulate you in advance for reaching Taiyi status, Immortal Spirit Manifest Real, and your dojo remaining forever.”

“Congratulations!”

Immortal Monarch Dongming’s heartfelt congratulations stemmed from the mysterious aura within the fiery red feather that had been passed on by Eastern Emperor Unique; even he felt startled by it. If he had used it, his own strength would have greatly increased. As for Han Yi, once he absorbed it, his breakthrough would be unhindered, and he would surely soar to new heights.

Han Yi smiled and responded, “I’ll take your auspicious words!”

Having waited two thousand years, the Taiyi Immortal Monarch Realm within reach, it was impossible not to be excited.

…

While Han Yi and Immortal Monarch Dongming were en route to Age Candle,

a breath suddenly burst forth within the bounds of Dharma Origin Sect in Penglai Immortal Realm, in the Cave Heaven previously escaped by Taishan King. This breath belonged to the level of a Peak Immortal Monarch.

Following this breath was another, also stirring up and pervading the entire Cave Heaven, causing all low-level cultivators, as well as ordinary True Immortals, Profound Immortals, and even Golden Immortals, to be greatly alarmed and unrested.

Because these two breaths belonged to the master controllers of this core Black Yama Cave Heaven, two of the hall masters from Black Yama’s Ten Halls.

Moreover, the first breath belonged to the master of the Cave Heaven, the second most powerful within Black Yama, the holder of Peak Immortal Monarch power, Qin Guang King.

“What has happened that would cause such strong turbulence and fury in the hall masters’ breaths?”

“With Qin Guang King emerging from seclusion, it must be no small matter.”

“Could it be that the Dharma Origin Sect has surrounded the Cave Heaven?”

“That’s impossible; if they were surrounding us, they would’ve launched an attack much earlier, not wait until now.”

“Just wait and see, there might be major actions to come.”

Within the Cave Heaven, numerous immortals discussed amongst themselves. These immortals, all willingly joined Black Yama, carried legacies from Black Yama’s teachings. Though not deeply attached, because of these legacies, they were bound to Black Yama.

However, what puzzled them was that the two Immortal Monarch breaths only manifested for a few moments before rapidly withdrawing, with no other events unfolding.

Just when they thought nothing more would happen, a message was passed down.

Taishan King had fallen outside.

This message terrified countless Black Yama immortals; after all, he was not just any immortal but an Immortal Monarch, and his silent, unknown demise was all the more shocking.

If he had fallen within the Cave Heaven, it indicated that an immensely powerful Immortal Monarch presence had infiltrated, and they clearly understood the implications.

In a flash, everyone in the Cave Heaven felt their own threat.

However, after Qin Guang King took action sweeping through the Cave Heaven and confirmed there were no threats, indicating Taishan King’s disappearance and demise did not occur within, the unrest was settled.

Atop the highest peak in the Cave Heaven, within the Great Hall,

Qin Guang King’s gaze was icy cold as he faced the third hall master who had just arrived, Song Di King.

Black Yama possessed two core Cave Heavens; one was directly managed by the hall master of the fifth hall, Yama King, the lord of Black Yama, and the other was under the first hall master, Qin Guang King.

And Qin Guang King’s Cave Heaven was frequently inhabited by three other hall masters: the third hall master Song Di King, the seventh Taishan King, and the ninth Ping Deng King.

Nevertheless, with Ping Deng King out on business and Song Di King and Taishan King supposed to remain within the Cave Heaven,

he had no knowledge of when Taishan King had left, for the departure had been silent, and Qin Guang King certainly couldn’t monitor the entire Cave Heaven at all times.

Therefore,

it was only when he noticed the dissipation of Taishan King’s life soul at the core of the Cave Heaven that he was startled, his breath shaking uncontrollably, as he swept his Immortal Thought across the Cave Heaven in an instant. Should an enemy have infiltrated and slain Taishan King, he needed to swiftly find the foe to prevent a catastrophe within the entire Cave Heaven.

But to his slight relief, beneath the sweep of his Immortal Thought, no anomalies were found, nor any trace of Taishan King, leading him to deduce that Taishan King’s fall had not happened in silent within the Cave Heaven, but outside it.
