"Ding ding dong~~ Ding ding dong~~"
To the north of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty lay the Funeral Cloud Realm, one of the Nine Realms, a land controlled by a power called the Funeral Sect.
Five hundred miles from the northern border of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty, a disheveled, unkempt middle-aged man with an exposed belly was picking his nose with one hand and shaking a golden bell with the other. As he shook it, strands of bloody golden light fell upon tens of thousands of corpses behind him.
Most of the tens of thousands of corpses were incomplete. Upon closer inspection, they were basically disciples of the Heavenly Treasure Sect and the Primordial Star Palace, and even elders of True Immortals. At this moment, under the manipulation of the middle-aged man's bell, they followed the man across the mountains and rivers.
"Ah-choo!"
The middle-aged man sneezed, his face extremely displeased as he cursed, "Damn it, I wonder who's thinking of me!"
The man glanced back at the tens of thousands of corpses behind him, then smiled, took out a wine gourd, and guzzled a few mouthfuls. "Tsk! This is truly exhilarating. I don't know what force these Heavenly Treasure Sect and Primordial Star Palace offended, to disappear in mere breaths. Alas! It's a shame, if only I could have scavenged the corpses of the Heavenly Treasure Sect Master and the Primordial Star Palace Master!"
"The Heavenly Treasure Realm is in turmoil, the three great powers seem to have withered away in a single day. This Great Han Immortal Dynasty truly possesses immense fortune, unifying the Heavenly Treasure Realm without bloodshed. The Heavenly Treasure Sect is annihilated, and its Emperor-grade Immortal Treasure shattered. Without this powerful protection, would the Xuan Sect stand by and not covet such a large piece of fat?"
The middle-aged man's face showed a hint of loss, then his eyes lit up, "Good! If the Xuan Sect and the Great Han Immortal Dynasty fight, there will be many more corpses of living beings. Tsk tsk tsk, if I could find one or two corpses of Xuan Immortals, my Immortal-grade puppet would be refined!"
"Sect Master!"
The middle-aged man walked to the foot of a mountain peak, where two disciples respectfully said.
"En!"
The middle-aged man grunted slightly, then waved his hand, "Throw all these tens of thousands of corpses into the Soul Returning Furnace. Also, order my disciples of the Funeral Sect to head south immediately. If the Xuan Sect and the Great Han Immortal Dynasty engage in a bloody battle, collect corpses for this Sect Master!"
The man turned his head and looked at the southern sky, then coldly smiled, "Fight! Fight! The more tragic the fight, the better!"
This man was named Jiang Xing. Ten million years ago, he stumbled into Dragon Burial Island and received the inheritance of a powerful senior. After a million years of cultivation, he reached the realm of Xuan Immortal. With his puppet technique, he collected the corpses of countless beings from the Nine Realms to build an army of undying puppets. He traveled alone, leading the army of the undying to conquer the Northern Frost Immortal Dynasty, attack the Heavenly Treasure Sect in the south, and advance into the Holy Land Realm in the west. In a mere three hundred thousand years, he controlled a realm and named it the Funeral Cloud Realm.
Having control of a realm, Jiang Xing became increasingly unsatisfied with the corpses of ordinary beings. He began to extend his reach into the imperial mausoleums of the Northern Frost Immortal Dynasty. To go further, he entered the most powerful overlord force in the Nine Realms, the Southern Heaven Immortal Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he was suppressed by the Southern Heaven Emperor, and his million-strong puppet army was annihilated. Jiang Xing himself was severely injured. After this battle, Jiang Xing was no longer at his peak, and he understood the vast gap between himself and the Southern Heaven Immortal Dynasty. From then on, he closed his sect and lived in seclusion.
Now that the two sects of the Heavenly Treasure Realm were inexplicably destroyed, and tempted by the corpses, Jiang Xing emerged once again. In the outskirts of the two sects, he collected tens of thousands of corpses, leading to the scene just witnessed.
"Southern Heaven Immortal Dynasty, you suppressed me back then, and the damage sustained cannot be repaired even now. Just wait, once I refine my Immortal-grade puppet, I will charge into your Southern Heaven Imperial Mausoleum again!"

"Master!"
"Master!"
In the center of the Nine Realms lay the Holy Land Realm, controlled by the Sacred Academy. The Sacred Academy educated all directions, and its disciples were spread throughout the Nine Realms. Countless outstanding beings from the Nine Realms would usually join the Sacred Academy and follow Master Lao.
"Hush!"
A gray-haired old man stopped the approaching disciples and asked, "Master is in seclusion. What is it?"
"Dean Zhang!"
Two scholars quickly bowed. One of them said anxiously, "Dean Zhang, the last Dragon Origin Token has appeared!"
"What did you say?"
Dean Zhang's eyes widened, "Are you sure?"
"Dean Zhang, this matter was personally entrusted to me by Master. How dare a student be careless? More than ten days ago, I saw a faint blood-red light pointing towards the Heavenly Treasure Realm, but after a short while, the blood-red light pointed towards the Southern Heaven Immortal Dynasty."
"To investigate clearly, I visited an elder brother in Southern Heaven City. This last Dragon Origin Token was obtained by Princess Yan Yun of the Southern Heaven Immortal Dynasty!"
The student said quickly, "This Dragon Origin Token was originally brought out from Dragon Burial Island by Long Qianning, the Sect Master of the Nine Dragon Sect in the Heavenly Treasure Realm. Long Qianning did not know what the Dragon Origin Token was, so she merged it into her forehead. It was dug out by Princess Yan Yun, Nan Tian Qing Xin, in Southern Heaven City."
"Dean Zhang, Duan Gan Bai, in order to gain favor with the Southern Heaven Emperor, offered the Dragon Origin Token to Southern Heaven Emperor Nan Tian Xun."
"This last Dragon Origin Token has appeared. The peaceful Nine Realms may be about to stir up trouble again!" Dean Zhang's face was filled with a hint of sorrow. When turmoil arises, bloody battles are inevitable.
"The path of cultivation is inherently difficult and fraught with danger. It is the same for Long Qianning, for you and me, and for the billions of beings in the Nine Realms!"
A white-robed old man emerged, waving a feather fan, with a kind smile on his face.
Old Master!
The cornerstone of the Sacred Academy, with disciples spread throughout the Nine Realms. He, along with Southern Heaven Emperor Nan Tian Xun, were known as the peerless twin prodigies of the Nine Realms!
They were also the only two Immortal Lord powerhouses in the Nine Realms today!
"Master!"
Dean Zhang bowed slightly.
"The Dragon Origin Token involves many things. I originally wanted to control this last Dragon Origin Token to stop the bloodshed in the Nine Realms, but man proposes, heaven disposes. This last Dragon Origin Token has fallen into Nan Tian Xun's hands. The heavens are about to change!"
Master Lao sighed, "Recently, I heard that a new power has risen in the Heavenly Treasure Realm in the southeast of the Nine Realms?"
"Yes, Master. This power is called the Great Han Immortal Dynasty! It is from a lower realm, having ascended as a whole!" a disciple said.
"Oh!"
"This is truly unprecedented!" Master Lao smiled slightly and continued, "The Great Han Immortal Dynasty borders Dragon Burial Island above the Boundary Sea. All the Dragon Origin Tokens have now appeared. The powerhouses of the Nine Realms will soon board Immortal Treasures and enter the southwestern sea domain of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty. Dean Zhang, the Great Han Immortal Dynasty has just entered the Immortal Realm, its foundation is unstable. With the convergence of the Nine Realms' powers, it is bound to stir up trouble again. You must remind them well, inform the Great Han Emperor!"
"Master is benevolent!"
Dean Zhang bowed slightly, "I will handle this matter. I will personally go to the Great Han Immortal Dynasty, and perhaps by re-entering Dragon Burial Island, I can prevent unnecessary disputes!"
