Chapter 1499 - Chapter 1499 Chapter 636 Approaching Sword Radiance

Chapter 1499: Chapter 636: Approaching Sword Radiance, Middle-Aged Age Candle Chapter 1499: Chapter 636: Approaching Sword Radiance, Middle-Aged Age Candle Han Yi stowed the Ancient Dome Seal Fragment into his Divine Aperture world, then turned his attention to the other five Immortal Artifacts, among which was a tier-nine Immortal Sword.

This Immortal Sword was a black longsword whose aura was like that from the depths of the Void Prison, imbued with extremely strong Yin Death Energy. It was a shadow-killing Immortal Sword with special attributes that proved significantly potent when striking unexpectedly at enemies.

The rest, including the Soul Settling Pen, were all powerful Immortal Artifacts. Even if Han Yi didn’t have a use for them, he could exchange them for tier-nine swords.

Delighted at the sight, he gathered all of the Immortal Artifacts into his bag.

Next, he turned to Yuan Shun. Before Han Yi could even ask, Yuan Shun spoke, “Next, I need to assimilate what I’ve acquired over the past few thousand years in the Daluo Void Prison. The entirety of the Ninefold Netherworld will close for an extended period. I don’t know exactly how long that will be, short as a few hundred years or as long as tens of thousands of years.”

“Xuandan Sect has relocated to Age Candle, and the Age Candle Dao Ancestor has become a Heavenly Sovereign. Moreover, with you looking after things, I am at ease.”

Then, he took out a gray Xuanzhu and handed it to Han Yi.

“This is a Reincarnation Pearl condensed from my Reincarnation Fragment. You may carry it with you. If you encounter danger, you can connect to the Reincarnation Pearl with your consciousness. As long as it’s within the Ancient Great World, I, your brother, will surely sense it and come to your aid,” Yuan Shun added.

Han Yi accepted the Reincarnation Pearl and nodded, “Good.”

He paused for a moment before adding a word of caution, “Brother, be careful. The path of samsara is difficult, and external enemies are always lurking. If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to send someone to find me. Although I am not as powerful for now, given some time, after I overcome the Immortal Sovereign Tribulation and attain the Immortal Venerable status, I should be able to help you to some extent.”

Yuan Shun acknowledged this.

In almost no time at all, Han Yi tore through the Void Prison space and returned to the normal Daluo space, heading back to Age Candle.

Upon his return to Age Candle, Han Yi went straight to Age Candle Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Han Yi felt differently about the majestic giant mountain. It now seemed as if it could split and drift apart, becoming ethereal and illusory.

He knew that this change in Age Candle Mountain, the core of Age Candle Immortal Court, had occurred because the Age Candle Dao Ancestor had ascended to the rank of Heavenly Sovereign. As for the reasons behind these changes and their significance, he could not comprehend, given that his own Realm still fell far short of the Heavenly Sovereign’s.

Just as he prepared to teleport, the space around him suddenly flashed, and he found himself in a mysterious place.

It was a vast world under a starry sky.

In the starry sky, an imposing mountain stood tall, adorned with twinkling lights behind it, and a mysterious aura spread far and wide.

Then,

a gentle power enveloped Han Yi, carrying him toward the mountain’s summit. He offered no resistance, sensing the power contained the aura of the Age Candle Dao Ancestor.

In an instant, he stood on the summit and saw the Age Candle Heavenly Venerate seated in meditation.

What slightly surprised Han Yi was that the Age Candle Heavenly Venerate no longer had white eyebrows and hair; he had transformed into a younger-looking middle-aged Taoist.

As far as Immortals went, altering one’s appearance was nothing out of the ordinary. But since appearances are born from the heart, unless those changes came from an internal transformation, they were merely illusory and insignificant.

The present change in Age Candle’s appearance revealed that, with his ascension to Heavenly Sovereign, his mindset and mental state had indeed transformed.

“Greetings, Heavenly Venerate,” Han Yi said as he respectfully bowed.

The middle-age incarnation of the Age Candle Heavenly Venerate had eyes that no longer held his usual detachment. Instead, they were more profound, with thousands of light and shadows constantly shifting in their depths.

His gaze fell upon Han Yi, and without attempting to calculate Han Yi’s cause and effect again, the Heavenly Venerate simply smiled faintly and asked,

“Is the newly appointed Reincarnation Tao Ancestor closely related to you?”

When Yuan Shun became a Dao Ancestor, Han Yi had fought alongside the Void Prison Immortal Sovereign in the Lingxiao Realm. Others might not have noticed, but the Age Candle Heavenly Venerate certainly had.

“The Reincarnation Tao Ancestor is my senior fellow disciple, and we both originated from the Yu Heng World in the lower realms,” Han Yi replied, not concealing the truth.

Age Candle nodded without delving further, but then sighed softly, “Reincarnation…”

He then spoke,

“You have been guarding the border for a hundred years and have worked hard. From now on, you shall cultivate within the Immortal Court.”

“In three years, I will leave the Ancient Great World with the Great Heavenly Sovereign to head for the Tao God Alliance. The Immortal Court has my Heavenly Sovereign’s methods in place; even if other Heavenly Sovereigns come here, they won’t gain any advantage.”

“Go now.”

Han Yi respectfully saluted and when he looked up again, he found himself at the base of Age Candle Mountain.

A contemplative look crossed his face.

“It appears the Heavenly Venerate has a deep understanding of the Great Dao of Samsara. That long sigh bears profound implications that are difficult to fathom, but it holds a deep significance.”

“Additionally, a trip to the Tao God Alliance in three years?”

“A thousand years have passed since the Heavenly Mandate Calamity and the formation of the Halo Passage. It has been a millennium since Wangxi Mountain Master from Demon Witch Mountain handed over the token for the Ancient Great World.”

“It seems that the Great Heavenly Sovereign, also known as the Hongjun Heavenly Venerable from Kunlun, must have had plans in place all along.”

“Those plans likely include the unification of the Nine Realms.”

“The Great Heavenly Sovereign is too enigmatic and fearsome.”

Thoughts flashed through Han Yi’s mind, and he dismissed them. For him at present, the Heavenly Sovereigns were too distant–let alone the Great Heavenly Sovereign who stood at the pinnacle among them.

As for the Qi Fortune of the Interception Sect that he inherited, it was merely a legacy without ties to the disputes between the two factions. Naturally, Han Yi would not be foolish enough to consider Kunlun an enemy.

He took one last deep look at the summit of Age Candle Mountain.
