"Longyang Empire's Long Yan greets Lord Potian Lei Wang!"
Long Yan bowed deeply to the silhouette, his admiration clearly visible. Though he was only one step away from the Dao Ancestor realm, Potian Lei Wang was like a god of war in their Longyang Empire.
In his youth, Potian Lei Wang had been his greatest idol!
"Oh?"
The silhouette stroked the Potian Lei Spear, and Ye Xuan could clearly sense the spear's excitement and eagerness.
One hundred thousand years!
It was no joke. After a separation of a hundred thousand years, seeing its former master now, the Potian Lei Spear was incredibly thrilled!
The silhouette's gaze shifted from the Potian Lei Spear to Long Yan, a hint of surprise flashing in its eyes, "Longyang Empire?"
"It's been a long time since I've heard that name."
After a brief murmur, the Myriad Beast Old Man no longer paid attention, his gaze falling upon Ye Xuan.
"Little fellow, you are the current master of the Potian Lei Spear."
Seeing the master of the Potian Lei Spear again after a hundred thousand years, the Myriad Beast Old Man couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy. In the past, he had made too many enemies within the Galaxy Empire, and thus faked his death to withdraw from various factions. He then went to the Haotian Immortal Kingdom, changed his name, became the Myriad Beast Old Man, and subsequently reached the Immortal realm.
Outsiders only knew he had slain immortals, but they were unaware that it was merely the tip of his strength.
"At the peak of the second-tier Dao Ancestor realm, you can slay a ninth-tier Dao Ancestor expert with formations. Such talent truly surpasses my own youthful prodigy by far."
The Myriad Beast Old Man clicked his tongue in admiration, clearly pleased that the Potian Lei Spear had such a master.
Of course, the Myriad Beast Old Man was unaware that Ye Xuan was not yet thirty years old. If he knew this, who knows what his reaction would be!
After a long sigh, the Potian Lei Spear returned to Ye Xuan's hand and then back into the spatial ring.
At this moment, the Myriad Beast Old Man let out a soft sigh and looked towards the entrance of the tomb, his thoughts in a whirl. "Little fellow, with such fortune, your future achievements will surely surpass mine. While the Haotian Immortal Kingdom is vast, it is ultimately not the limit."
"The world only knows I might have reached the Immortal realm, but they don't know I was already at the peak of the ninth-tier Immortal Elder. However, when I was about to break through to the Immortal Lord realm, I was ambushed and severely wounded by the Emperor of the Divine Profound Immortal Kingdom, who was also my close friend. I eventually became a mere wisp of soul, surviving in this world only by such means."
A bitter smile played on the Myriad Beast Old Man's lips. "In those days, I trusted the Divine Profound Emperor too much and underestimated his treacherous ambitions."
"Now, over eighty thousand years have passed. I don't know the current realm of the Divine Profound Immortal Kingdom's Emperor, but he must have certainly entered the Immortal Lord realm."
The past was too painful to recall. At this moment, the Myriad Beast Old Man revealed a secret buried deep in his heart for over eighty thousand years, something completely unknown to the outside world.
"Divine Profound Immortal Kingdom?"
Upon hearing this, Long Yan's face was filled with confusion. "Lord Lei Wang, this... what is the Divine Profound Immortal Kingdom?"
"Heh heh, the Divine Profound Immortal Kingdom is far superior to the Haotian Immortal Kingdom."
Pausing, the Myriad Beast Old Man continued, "To put it this way, there are nine tiers of Immortal Kingdoms above the Galaxy Empire, with the first tier being the lowest and the ninth tier the highest. Among countless Immortal Kingdoms, the Haotian Immortal Kingdom ranks as a third-tier one. As for the Divine Profound Immortal Kingdom, it is a sixth-tier Immortal Kingdom, placing it in the upper-middle tier among all Immortal Kingdoms."
"What!"
"Immortal Kingdoms... are actually divided into nine tiers? And the Haotian Immortal Kingdom is only a third-tier among the nine, meaning the Haotian Immortal Kingdom is merely a lower-tier Immortal Kingdom!"
"Yes, you could say that."
The Myriad Beast Old Man nodded. This statement caused Long Yan and Feng Chen to gasp in disbelief. The Haotian Immortal Kingdom, which they considered divine, was actually considered a lower-tier among Immortal Kingdoms.
"Then, Senior, what realms exist beyond the Dao Ancestor realm? What is your realm of peak ninth-tier Immortal Elder?"
Ye Xuan pondered for a moment and asked the question that concerned him the most.
"This..."
The Myriad Beast Old Man glanced at Ye Xuan. "Although you are currently only at the peak of the second-tier Dao Ancestor realm, your peak combat power rivals that of the peak ninth-tier Dao Ancestor. There's no harm in telling you, as you will eventually know anyway."
"The pinnacle of the Dao Ancestor realm is the strongest in many empires. Above the Dao Ancestor realm lies the Immortal realm, which you understand. At that point, a cultivator's internal energy will transform into 'Immortal Force,' a power far exceeding that of Dao Ancestor realm energy."
"And as one's Immortal realm increases, so does their Immortal Force. The Immortal realm has nine tiers, each tier being a world apart. Above Immortals are Immortal Elders, and above Immortal Elders are Immortal Lords, the realm I was striving to break through to. Above Immortal Lords is the legendary Star realm. Of course, only ninth-tier Immortal Kingdoms might possess beings of that caliber, and the possibility is extremely small..."
Long Yan, "!!!"
Immortal, Immortal Elder, Immortal Lord, Star...
Good heavens, there were so many realms beyond the Dao Ancestor realm, it was unimaginable. Damn it, he wasn't even a first-tier Dao Ancestor yet, let alone an Immortal or Immortal Elder.
Feng Chen was utterly stunned, as he was currently only at the first-tier Venerable realm. He looked up to the True Ancestor realm, let alone the Dao Ancestor and Immortals beyond it.
Only Ye Xuan managed to maintain his composure, as he knew slightly more than the Myriad Beast Old Man, also known as Potian Lei Wang.
Beyond the Dao Ancestor realm, as Potian Lei Wang had stated, were Immortals, Immortal Elders, Immortal Lords, and the legendary Stars. However, Nai knew that there were realms beyond the Stars, namely the Star level, the Bright Moon level, and the Blazing Sun level, each with nine tiers. As for the realm above peak ninth-tier Blazing Sun, Nai did not know, as it was beyond her knowledge.
In other words, the realms beyond Dao Ancestor were: Immortal, Immortal Elder, Immortal Lord, Star, Bright Moon, Blazing Sun!
Furthermore, each major realm had nine tiers, meaning six major realms and fifty-four minor tiers!
Of course, if Potian Lei Wang knew this, he would be utterly astonished.
"Ding! Host has triggered a random mission: Revive the Myriad Beast Old Man and have him join the Xuan Alliance. Reward: 300 million Galaxy Coins, plus 3000 low-grade immortal crystals!"
While Ye Xuan was lost in thought, the system's voice sounded in his ear, causing him to fall silent.
Holy hell~
Reviving the Myriad Beast Old Man meant reviving Potian Lei Wang, and then having him join the Xuan Alliance. What was this system trying to do!
However... the rewards were increasingly generous: 300 million Galaxy Coins, 3000 low-grade immortal crystals. More importantly,
If the Myriad Beast Old Man was revived and eventually recovered his peak strength, the Xuan Alliance would have a peak ninth-tier Immortal Elder, or even an Immortal Lord level expert.
With this in mind, Ye Xuan's eyes became a little more fervent. This mission seemed like a surefire win!
Potian Lei Wang's thoughts drifted, and upon returning, his gaze sharpened. "Since the three of you have come here, I shall grant each of you a fortunate opportunity. How much you can achieve will depend on your own destiny."
