Ye Xuan’s brow slightly furrowed and he said, “There are so many ants in the world; if I have to personally resolve them all, what use are you then?”

“Junting knows her mistake!” Zhuo Junting quickly knelt on the ground, clearly aware that she had misspoken.

“Rise,” Ye Xuan said in a calm voice.

“You must remember, I cultivated you to eradicate these jumping ants for me.

Unless there is an enemy you cannot withstand, I won’t make a move.”

“Junting will keep the master’s teachings in mind,” Zhuo Junting said softly.

…

Lianyun Mountain!

Vast mountains extend, connecting heaven and earth.

The undulating mountain ranges are like a dragon lying across the land, inducing a sense of insignificance in those who gaze upon them from afar.

Ye Lingtian, with tattered clothes, made his way through the forest, his expression manic and resentful, as he followed the small mountain paths up to the peak of Lianyun Mountain.

Atop the mountain peak.

A Cold Pond, a hut, a grave; other than these, there was nothing else.

Not until Ye Lingtian reached the mountain summit did he look around bewilderedly, continually searching for that legendary figure.

However, when his eyes fell upon the grave on the peak, his entire expression changed dramatically, and he hurried toward the grave.

A tombstone bore five large characters: “The Deceased, Immortal Extinguishing.”

“It’s impossible, absolutely impossible.”

Ye Lingtian roared in denial; he simply couldn’t believe that the person he had revered all his life would be buried in a grave.

“I, Ye Lingtian, am not even dead yet.

How could big brother Immortal Extinguishing be buried in a grave?” Ye Lingtian bellowed hoarsely, unable to accept such an outcome.

“Big brother Immortal Extinguishing, please come out and see your younger brother,” Ye Lingtian cried out in all directions, causing the emptiness around him to echo back with a rumbling sound.

Regrettably, no matter how Ye Lingtian called out, there was no response from the peak of Lianyun Mountain.

It seemed like this was just a burial site, with no living person residing there.

“Big brother Immortal Extinguishing, everyone in this world will die, but I truly believe that you are still alive in this world.

Please come out and meet your younger brother,” Ye Lingtian wept as he shouted.

“The mortal world has no more ties to me; return from whence you came.”

Suddenly, an indifferent and merciless voice emanated from the eight directions of heaven and earth.

The voice, ancient and profound, seemed to have crossed the barriers of time and space, and entered Ye Lingtian’s ears.

“Big brother Immortal Extinguishing, you truly are alive,” Ye Lingtian shuddered and roared with extreme excitement.

Buzz!

The void trembled, ripples spread, and a tall figure materialized high in the sky.

His body was hazy and illusory, with an indescribable luminosity slowly radiating around him, giving off an aura of the Dao’s ultimate simplicity.

“Life is burdened with eight sufferings: desire, anger, delusion, resentment at opposition, attachment to separation, the pain of unattainable desires…”

“Your heart is filled with rage and grievance, ensnared by your own reputation.

You’ve fallen into heretical paths.

What misery is this?” Immortal Extinguishing sighed with resignation.

“Big brother Immortal Extinguishing, I…” The color drained from Ye Lingtian’s face, his body trembling slightly.

“I understand the purpose of your visit, but I have already left the mortal world behind, and worldly affairs no longer concern me.

You may leave,” said Immortal Extinguishing, seated in the void with Martial Arts Thunder Sound resounding within him.

“Martial Arts Thunder Sound, Breaking Heaven and Earth?”

“Could it be…

could it be that Brother Immortal Extinguishing has finally broken through the shackles of Heaven and Earth and stepped onto the Golden Core Dao?” Ye Lingtian exclaimed in shock.

Above the Innate level, one is called a Land Immortal, with a lifespan reaching three hundred years.

This is just what people say.

But in the eyes of Ye Lingtian and others, the so-called Land Immortal Realm, is actually known as the Foundation Establishment Stage; it’s just that they lack spiritual energy to absorb and are doomed to make no further progress for the rest of their lives.

Above Foundation Establishment lies the Golden Core Realm.

Immortal Extinguishing had stepped into this realm a hundred years earlier, and today, a hundred years later, the Martial Arts Thunder Sound emanating from within him – could it be that his Golden Core had reached Great Success?

“Golden Core Realm?”

Immortal Extinguishing muttered to himself and then slowly shook his head, saying, “You are mistaken.

How could I truly become a cultivator when this world is devoid of spiritual energy?”

“I, Immortal Extinguishing, have cultivated for a hundred years, and even though the path to immortality is severed without the world’s spiritual energy, I have forged a path untraveled by my predecessors.

My path is to enter the Dao through martial arts, cultivating only myself, not showing reverence to Heaven and Earth.”

As Immortal Extinguishing’s words fell, Ye Lingtian stood stunned, lost in thought.

It was only a prodigy like Immortal Extinguishing who could break free from the bindings of Heaven and Earth and pave his own way.

In this world, there is always a small handful of extraordinary people with great determination and wisdom.

They do not believe in fate, only in themselves, and Immortal Extinguishing was precisely such a person.

“Brother Immortal Extinguishing, do you still remember?

The foundation of my martial arts cultivation is entirely your teachings.

A hundred years ago, you were invincible in this world, and no one could match you in combat.

But a hundred years later, the world has forgotten your name.

Are you truly content with this?” Ye Lingtian’s voice trembled, showing no intention of leaving just yet.

“Worldly fame is nothing more than a passing cloud to me.

Even that old friend in the West has been in seclusion within the Holy Temple for a hundred years and has not been involved in the world,” Immortal Extinguishing replied calmly.

“The so-called mortal world holds no more rivals for me, and I have no desire to step back into it for a mere reputation,” said Immortal Extinguishing indifferently.

A hairpin appeared in Ye Lingtian’s hand, which he casually tossed to Immortal Extinguishing, his voice still trembling, “Brother Immortal Extinguishing, do you remember this hairpin?”

The hairpin had already yellowed, but it was just an ordinary object.

However, it caused Immortal Extinguishing’s breath to hitch.

The hairpin in his hand was once given by him to a woman—Ye Lingtian’s sister and his own pledged wife.

“Back then, in pursuit of the supreme martial path, you cut off familial ties and abandoned all desires, leaving my sister to die in sorrow.

Do you still remember her?” Ye Lingtian’s voice was barely audible.

Immortal Extinguishing’s body trembled slightly, and the void around him exploded with suppressed thunder.

He stared intently at the hairpin in his hand, then slowly closed his eyes and said, “Ye Lingtian, are you forcing me to come out of retirement?”

“Indeed, I am forcing you.

I have never hated you because you led me to this path of martial arts.

You are the only kin I have in this world.

But I cannot accept being trampled upon by some later generation.

I want the world to know that even if Ye Lingtian was defeated, my elder brother, the husband of my dear sister, was once the world’s greatest, the domineering Immortal Extinguishing.”

“He is also the man who, a hundred years ago, boldly declared, ‘There is no path in Heaven and Earth but that of Immortal Extinguishing.'”

Ye Lingtian cried out mournfully, his voice of resentment and rage causing the surrounding void to thunderously vibrate, demonstrating the depth of his agitation.

Seated in the void, Immortal Extinguishing silently watched Ye Lingtian.

He took a slow breath and exhaled gradually, gripping the hairpin tightly in his hand as a trace of sorrow flickered across his eyes.

“Xian’er, in this life, the only regret I have is the debt I owe you.

Today, your brother comes to me with this hairpin, what am I to do?” Immortal Extinguishing’s voice whispered, and after a dozen breaths passed, he rose from the void and walked slowly towards Ye Lingtian, his voice chilly, “Ye Lingtian, since you insist on this, I shall acquiesce.

But from now on, we shall have no affection between us.

If you come seeking me again, you will face this mountain.”

Boom!

Immortal Extinguishing transformed his palm into a blade, and as he slashed down, a thousand-foot blade aura shattered the void, slicing a distant mountain peak in half.

The severed mountain crashing into the valley below let out a thunderous roar.

This terrifying sight left Ye Lingtian frozen in place, taking a long time to come back to his senses.
