Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 458 - 458 467 Reappearance in the World

458: Chapter 467: Reappearance in the World 458: Chapter 467: Reappearance in the World Ye Xuan struggled to calm his excited heart, continuously urging himself to settle down.

After dozens of breaths had passed, he finally regained his composure.

Deep within the Earth’s core, fiery magma flowed, and the scent of saltpeter and sulfur wafted through the air.

The intense heat that could burn all things didn’t affect Ye Xuan in the slightest,

Ye Xuan calculated with a pinch of his fingers, the fabric of space-time around him subtly transforming, as he silently discerned just how much time his breakthrough into the Daluo Realm had taken.

“Three thousand years?”

Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed slightly; never had he imagined that merely breaking through to the Daluo Realm would have required three thousand years in the depths of the Earth’s core.

“I am six thousand years old this year?”

Ye Xuan murmured to himself, a self-mocking smile forming on his face.

Unbeknownst to him, he had lived for six thousand years, which made him feel as though he was dreaming.

“A single seclusion of three thousand years, I’m afraid the outside world must have changed beyond recognition, right?”

Ye Xuan, hands clasped behind his back, shook his head helplessly.

He distinctly remembered that before his seclusion, he had arranged a battle with Kong Xuan to occur in a hundred years, but this seclusion had astonishingly lasted three thousand years, making him break his promise.

Although Ye Xuan was not a gentleman, he was also not a petty person.

He had never broken a promise before.

This accidental three-thousand-year breakthrough to become a Daluo Golden Immortal would have to be followed by a future battle with Kong Xuan.

Thump!

A lotus blossomed in the void, space twisted, and without any discernible action from Ye Xuan, he simply took one step and vanished mysteriously from the depths of the Earth’s core.

Earth Immortal Realm, Northern Continent.

Poor mountains and treacherous waters prevailed, with demons running rampant.

Three thousand years had passed, and the Northern Continent hadn’t changed much, except that three thousand years ago, Ye Xuan’s earth-shattering slaughter severely crippled the power of the evil demons there.

As the saying goes, for one general’s success, a thousand bones lie bare.

Without the countless demons of the Northern Continent, it would have been impossible for Ye Xuan to enter the Daluo Realm in such a short time.

In this way, the Northern Continent could be considered Ye Xuan’s blessed land.

Ye Xuan walked out of the void, crossing mountains and rivers, and over the vast expanse of the North Sea.

Along his way, he took in every sight of the Northern Continent.

The Northern Continent was still that same Northern Continent, filled with bloodshed and slaughter everywhere.

Three thousand years had passed, and new Demon Kings had emerged, entrenched in various places.

Clearly, the vast Northern Continent, despite Ye Xuan’s slaughter of all sides years ago, remained a land where the demons were endless.

How could he have possibly eradicated them all?

Of course, if it had been three thousand years earlier, Ye Xuan would naturally have slain these Demon Kings and consumed them, but three thousand years later, he was no longer the weakling of the past.

Having stepped into the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, he held no interest in these Demon Kings any longer.

Daluo First Layer Heaven, entering the hall of Proving Dao with Power, the current Ye Xuan, to enhance his cultivation, found devouring Luotian Demon Kings as helpful as a drop of water in a chariot of firewood.

Perhaps only other Daluo Golden Immortals could slightly increase his cultivation.

However, Ye Xuan’s Daluo Realm was different from others; he followed the path of Proving Dao with Power to become a saint, where each elevation in realm required more than ten times the cultivation of an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal.

Of course, the Tribulation Immortal Skill, although against the heavens, was not the Invincible Technique.

Although Ye Xuan could still take the same old path, continuously hunting down Daluo Golden Immortals to gradually enhance his cultivation, this path was too narrow and singular.

Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, peaches of nine thousand years, Innate Spirit Roots, myriad Spiritual Medicines, Ginsengfruit…

Within the Three Realms, there are many wondrous things that could substantially enhance Ye Xuan’s cultivation.

Once, Ye Xuan was very weak, and although he greatly coveted these things, he was completely powerless to obtain them.

But now, far from being ignorant, he was fully capable of targeting these Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicines.

Of course, Ye Xuan was not in a hurry.

After his rebirth in three thousand years, he certainly planned to settle all past grudges and even seize the Heavenly Emperor’s throne.

That was what he needed to do now.

Heavenly Ridge!

Barren mountains and treacherous waters, desolate and uninhabited, save for the slow-moving Kuishui River that stretched for three million li.

Within the ten million li of Heavenly Ridge, there was no other sound.

Ye Xuan traversed every inch of Heavenly Ridge but failed to find any trace of the Ten Great Demon Kings.

Clearly, those who had died were dead, and those who were injured had gone into hiding when Ye Xuan’s identity had been revealed, avoiding the pursuit and assassination from Lingshan and the Heavenly Court.

With one step, he encompassed Heaven and Earth without bounds.

Ye Xuan had no further attachments, and his entire being stepped into the void, transforming into a beam of golden light heading towards the Eastern Continent.

Eastern Continent.

A sacred land of Lingshan, filled with boundless Spiritual Energy; this was the birthplace of Taoism, where countless Cultivation Sects stood.

For cultivators, the ultimate goal was to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation and become an Immortal.

Huaguo Mountain, barren and devoid of life, bore no resemblance to its former bustling days.

The so-called Seventy-Two Cave Demon Kings were all gone.

Aside from some newly awakened Little Demons with just a glimmer of spiritual wisdom, it could be said there were no Great Demons left on the entire mountain.

Three thousand years had passed, and everything and everyone related to Ye Xuan had vanished into the River of Time.

Back then, Maitreya Buddha had discovered his true form, which naturally drew the attention of Lingshan and the Heavenly Court, who continued to search for Ye Xuan’s whereabouts.

Yet, as three thousand years passed, Ye Xuan had never manifested in the world, but Lingshan and the Heavenly Court kept issuing warrants for the Demon Kings related to him, forcing them all to remain in hiding, silently waiting for Ye Xuan’s reappearance.

…

Eastern Continent, Heavenly Capital City!

Speaking of Heavenly Capital City in the Eastern Continent, it could be said to be extremely famous, a place of great renown, and moreover, the stronghold of the Heavenly Capital Immortal Sect.

The sect’s leader was called Qing Huo, who was also ranked among the Heavenly Court’s Immortal Class.

Today’s Heavenly Capital City was buzzing with excitement.

From cultivators to Immortal beings, there were innumerable figures, and the one-million-li-wide city was teeming with people.

The air was filled with noisy and warm sounds everywhere.

Not just the Heavenly Capital City was bustling, but every major Immortal Gate in the Eastern Continent was the same.

This was because, within the Three Realms, a grand gathering was to be held in three years—a gathering that took place only once every hundred thousand years, known to all in the Three Realms.

The Peach Banquet!

Indeed, it was the Peach Banquet.

Within the Three Realms—Heaven, Earth, and Man—every hundred thousand years, the Peach Banquet would be held.

This vast celebration was a significant event in the Three Realms.

The Peach Banquet was presided over by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, with the participation of Underworld Yama, the Four Sea Dragon Kings, powerful Independent Immortals from the Lower Realm, and any prominent figure within Heaven and Earth.

As everyone knew, the Jade Emperor was the lord of the Three Realms, acclaimed as the one venerated throughout.

Yet, in the eyes of some mighty beings with the power to pierce the heavens, he was not taken seriously.

There were even sayings of “obeying the command but not the summoning.”

This made the Jade Emperor, the Three Realms Supreme, nothing but a figurehead, which could be said to be a huge joke.

However, the Peach Banquet was different.

Apart from Evil Demons, even a lesser Heavenly Immortal cherished the hope of attending the Peach Banquet.

Those powers who normally disregarded the Jade Emperor would also flock to the Heavenly Court to participate in this event.
