6 Years Later.
Tian Yongheng stabilized his cultivation base as he looked at his Status Panel.
[Name: Tian Yongheng]
[Race: Mortal]
[Gender: Male]
[Lifespan: 50/1076]
[Cultivation: Seventh Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm]
[Constitution: Five-Elemental Divine Spiritual Physique]
[Bloodline: Descendant of the Primeval Lord of Heaven]
[Innate Talent(s): Sword Heart, Primordial Meridians and Primordial Bones]
[Affiliation(s): Eternal Peak]
[Occupation(s): Founder of Eternal Peak]
[Title(s): Master of Eternal Peak]
[Cultivation Technique(s): Divine Scripture of the Primordial Beginning]
In order to breakthrough quickly, he had already consumed all Foundation Establishment Pills he had obtained from the System, but thanks to his previous breakthrough, he obtained another bottle of pills.
After breaking through to the Seventh Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm, he got another Cultivation Technique.
It was called the Heavenly Grand Unity Method. It could balance both Yin and Yang attributes, but the prerequisite for cultivating it was to have compatibility with all the elements and attributes.
Althrough it was still very inferior to the Divine Scripture of the Primordial Beginning, it was a decent Cultivation Technique.
After stabilizing his Cultivation Base, he was about to continue his seclusion as he suddenly felt 2 familiar presences through his Divine Sense.
...
Outside of the Eternal Peak, Jia Changxun and Feng Zhen were bowing towards the direction of the peak. They believed that Tian Yongheng had already sensed their arrival.
During this time, they couldn't help but be surprised at the abundant Spirit Qi that could be sensed without entering the mountain range.
It was definitely comparable to a Innate Realm powerful force!
They could immediately guess it since they had once visited the Yan Immortal Dynasty because of Sect matters. Althrough they were only considered low-level disciples who were only brought along to increase the prestige of the Personal Disciple who went there as a messenger.
At that time, they went to a couple of Innate Realm factions of Yan Immortal Dynasty. The Spirit Qi there was potent enough to even nurture someone with 4-Elemental Spiritual Roots to the mid-stages of Qi Condensation Realm!
And the Spirit Qi emanating from the Eternal Peak was nearly as good.
It was surely not as abundant and potent the last time they came here as compared to now!
Just what kind of an existence was that senior!?
Suddenly, Tian Yongheng appeared in front of them. He deliberately did not hide his presence and aura at all. Seeing him, they instantly greeted him with sincere respect.
"We greet the Senior!" Both of them said in unison. They were shocked to find out that Tian Yongheng's presence had gotten far more stronger than the last time they came here. It was even more vast and greater than their Sect Master and all the Great Elders themselves!
How long had it been since they last came here? 10 years? 20 years?
How did his Cultivation increase so quickly!?
Even if it had been 50 years, it was completely unreasonable for one's Cultivation to increase so much in that time!
Tian Yongheng nodded slightly, and was about to ask their reason for coming to meet him this time before Jia Changxun spoke immediately, hiding his shock.
"Senior, our Sect Master has broken through to the Acquired Realm, and the Sect is holding a Banquet to celebrate it. It will take place a decade later in the Sword Seeking Sect. We have invited many local factions, even some Acquired Realm factions and some powerful Innate Realm forces from the Yan Immortal Dynasty will be present in the banquet. We're also here to invite Senior to attend the banquet. Our Sect Master would also like to meet you and have a few words with you."
He said as he handed out a red-colored one time use Talisman with the words 'Sword Seeking Sect' written on it.
"Senior, this is a One-time use Tracking Talisman refined by one of the Great Elders. Location of the Sword Seeking Sect is engraved on it, and once you activate it, it will lead you to the Sword Seeking Sect."
The Sword Seeking Sect was truly extravagant!
Tian Yongheng thought as he took the Talisman and then asked in a casual tone of voice, "Do you know what the recent commotion is all about? The number of Cultivators nearby has increased, it seems so."
Jia Changxun was confused for a moment before answering with a surprised look on his face.
"Ah, Senior, you don't know? The Hundred-Thousand Years Period of Mount Kunlun is here, and in at most a few more decades, the Eldest Disciple of Kunlun will come down the Mountain to explore the world and show the authority of Mount Kunlun. At that time, many Geniuses will emerge in the world."
He continued, his facial expression showing a hint of admiration.
"As the Disciples of Mount Kunlun have always been Peerless Geniuses, there has always been great competition whenever the Hundred-Thousand Years Period of Kunlun comes."
"Unfortunately, we're just some nameless low-level Cultivators in the eyes of those prodigious powerhouses. I don't think anyone from the entire Qingyun Region will even be able to meet with the Eldest Disciple of Mount Kunlun."
His eyes turned bitter towards the end.
Feng Zhen also smiled bitterly as he looked down.
Tian Yongheng just stood there and listened to Jia Changxun's explanation. Even though he noticed the change of expression on his face, he didn't say anything regarding it.
He knew that what Jia Changxun said was the bitter truth that both him and Feng Zhen had to accept sooner or later. He shook his head slightly, "Oh, so that's what it is all about. I'll be sure to attend the banquet. Is there something else?"
Both Jia Changxun and Feng Zhen shook their heads and bowed, bidding farewell to Tian Yongheng.
He just stood there for some more time, and then turned around to return to his cave abode.
The life of Cultivators with below average talent was really hard. Not just them, every single being had a harsh life, be it Mortals or Immortals. They all encountered difficulties, times when they had to compromise, times when they had to face defeat, times when they had to fight for survival. In that sense, all the living beings were the same.
The Immortal Dao was truly heartless and impartial, treating all living beings as dogs.
...
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Court of Yan Immortal Dynasty.
Yan Zhangwei sat on the emperor's throne as he listened to the Advisor about the recent events.
At this moment, he gave off the aura of a domineering Emperor who had ruled over the throne for many years.
"And lastly, the current Sect Master of Sword Seeking Sect has broken through to the Acquired Realm. They are holding a Banquet for celebration and have sent an invitation to the Yan Immortal Dynasty too. Your Majesty, what are your thoughts on this?"
The advisor asked respectfully.
"Have the Sects made a move yet?"
"No, shall I arrange a meeting and call the Sect Masters over to discuss this with you?"
Yan Zhangwei thought for a few moments before waving his hand. "No, first call the Second Prince in, I need to talk to him privately."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The advisor bowed before leaving in a hurry.
Yan Zhangwei loosend up a bit and rested his hands on his forehead.
"Will the 3 Sects really send someone to the Sword Seeking Sect? What a headache..."
