Although there were 3,000 Mortal Realms, that did not mean that the Realms were small, yes, these realms were all small compared to the sole Immortal Realm, but in reality, a regular cultivator could spend his whole lifetime of several hundred years traversing across a lower Mortal Realm and never reach the halfway point.
However, a female figure in the sky, who was carrying another female that seemed to be pregnant, was traveling at speeds that no mortal eye could ever perceive.
This female figure was the heavenly beauty that saved Liao Chen's life recently. And now, she was carrying the unconscious body of Liao Chen to her sect, the Ice Lotus Sect. It was a top-ranked sect of this mortal realm whose members compiled of only females, all of which were supposedly ice-cold temperamental beauties.

Meanwhile, in a place elsewhere within the same Mortal Realm...
A mature beauty dawning robes that revealed her alluring figure stared at the sky nostalgically.
"What is this feeling of fate? It has been so long since I've felt this way."
Her thoughts were interrupted by a man wearing servant clothes.
"Your Majesty, the Zhou Family Head, is requesting an audience."

In less than a day, this heavenly beauty had flown over 500,000 miles to reach her sect from her previous position of saving Liao Chen.
On the way, Liao Chen was forced to remain awake now and then in order to prevent issues from happening to the baby. Birthing in this environment was not safe nor pleasant. Of course, the baby was Liao Feng, a legendary Immortal that had flip the mountains and drained the seas with a mere gaze during his younger years could be born with anything but defective issues. But they didn't know that.
As the heavenly beauty neared the Sect, her speed of flight caused a massive shockwave of wind to spread before she slowly landed down.
"Ah! Lady Wu has returned!"
"What magnificent power!"
"Who is that pregnant lady she is carrying?"
The many female disciples greeted her. However, the heavenly beauty, Lady Wu, was not in a mood for greetings. She immediately gave orders to the disciples to escort the exhausted Liao Chen into a comfortable room and assist her with the birth of the baby before going off to rest.
"Be hospitable to this lady. Tell her to stay as long as she likes when she is in a better state of mind and body. However, if the baby is a boy, please kindly ask her to leave. And if it is a female that is of talent, request her permission to nurture the baby in the world of cultivation as well as provide her a home in the Sect."

In several long hours of gruesome labor, Liao Feng, the legendary Immortal of his previous life, had now been reborn.
Before the disciples in the room could asses the state of the baby, the clouds suddenly grew darker, covering up the whole skies within a hundred thousand mile radius. Thunder was rumbling, and lightning struck. The Heavens were not happy.
A heavenly phenomenon occurred.
A heavenly phenomenon is a type of disaster that only occurs from the birth of a heaven-defying treasure, or the birth of a heaven-defying talent. There have been very few such heavenly phenomenons since history has been recorded, but each one was never as powerful as the one this time.
Instead of the expected radius of a hundred thousand miles, it was the whole realm. Instead of the regular white lightning, it was the yellow, Heavenly Tribulation Lightning.
Every person, man, female, old, young, noble, commoner, cultivator, mortal, all stared up at the sky in fear and expectation.
A heavenly phenomenon can only mean one thing to these people; the collapse of the current era established by the cause of the previous heavenly phenomenon and the establishment of a new one.
The world will be changing, whether, for good or the bad, no one will ever know until this cause of the heavenly phenomenon shows itself. And this new era will be more chaotic than the previous ones.
