When Yu Dazhi saw the Jade Token in his leg, and another flickering green dot gradually extinguished, a heart filled with hope sank heavily once again into despair. 0
 
Tan Siyuan noticed Yu Dazhi's expression and felt an ominous premonition. He hesitantly asked, "What happened?" 0
 
Yu Dazhi knew that such feelings could not be hidden for long, so he stammered, "Another person... has fallen." 0
 
Sigh. 0
 
Gao Gong seemed to hear that long sigh as well. He let out a deep breath himself. Ever since entering the Eastern Extreme Secret Realm, everyone had been inexplicably hunted down, constantly fighting without knowing what was happening. Now, they could only watch as their companions fell one by one, powerless to do anything. 0
 
A profound sense of helplessness filled their hearts. Cigarette Paper felt the weight of it but said, " Bu Fou " Just then, the Nine Nether Cultivators were once again hot on their heels. 0
 
The immediate priority was to regroup with Tenglan, known as Zhongshang. Shi Xin had to ensure their safety in that world filled with enemies. 0
 
Wen Tian and Qin Wenjun understood this principle well. After breaking through, they immediately changed direction and sped toward that solitary green dot, racing against time to join Tenglan, known as Zhongshang. 0
 
Seeing the other two green dots change direction, Tan Siyuan and the others quickly abandoned their previous thoughts and altered their course toward Tenglan, known as Zhongshang. 0
 
If those three groups could gather together, they would have the potential for a large-scale operation. Now it was a race to see if they could reach him faster than the people from the Ninth Underworld. 0
 
The phrase "Light Path Classic" had gradually faded from people's minds in recent times. Although The Book of Radiant Path had caused quite a stir in the southeastern region three years ago—drawing even those who had never seen a True Immortal down to the mortal realm—it was still something that anyone could come into contact with. 0
 
Now, Xiazhi's sacrifice seemed to remind everyone of that time during the Battle of Good and Evil when Light Path Cultivators stood fearless in defense of Quanzhou City. 0
 
There were many touching stories from the Battle of Good and Evil worth recounting, but if one were to find something representative of the spirit and quality of Light Path Cultivators, everyone would likely think of the battle at Quanzhou. 0
 
A Transcendent Practitioner faced a tide of Demonic Cultivators without retreating an inch. They unleashed a series of radiant chants that thoroughly buried an entire army of tens of thousands from the Demonic Path. 0
 
 
From the very beginning, they knew they had no reinforcements. Quanzhou, as a crucial strategic location for the Righteous Path cultivators, could not afford any mistakes, and thus the outcome was predetermined. 0
 
In that battle, individual names gradually faded from the World of Mortals over time, yet the name of Guangming was deeply etched in the hearts of every cultivator, regardless of whether they were from the Righteous Path or Demonic Cultivators. 0
 
Tomorrow, when people once again witnessed the secret technique that illuminated the entire Righteous Path and determined the fate of the cultivation world, a question would inevitably arise in their minds: what exactly did the Light Path Classic do wrong? 0
 
Wei Guangming was dead, and the Light Path Classic had been completely annihilated. But could everything truly be explained in just a few short words? Everyone remembered the fall of the Sunfire Sect and how Feiyuxuzong personally took action against them. It all began with the Moon River Sect attacking Ming Ding Sect. Although Ming Ding Sect was merely an inconspicuous small sect of the Light Path Classic, it opened the curtain for many Daoist Sects to besiege the Light Path Classic. 0
 
Looking back now, it seemed as if everything had been premeditated, unfolding quietly without anyone noticing. Perhaps there were hints, like at this moment in the academy, or with Xiazhi. 0
 
The attack on Ming Ding Sect had happened thousands of years ago; time had perfectly concealed all arrangements. Perhaps that was indeed why the Light Path Classic fell—some conspiracy theorists might think so. 0
 
However, most speculations among cultivators involved individuals and Yongwai; it was likely that no one could clarify how many were involved. 0
 
What about Zhang Liuyuan? 0
 
Wasn't he a prominent figure in that academy? 0
 
Gradually, people began to recall those two individuals who had been overlooked for so long. Yet, the scene never focused on them; there were two possibilities: either they were both safe and had not encountered any battles, or they were already dead, leaving no images to share with others. 0
 
No one would believe in the first possibility. After all, Zhang Liuyuan, as a Great Master at Half-Step to Godhood, who could make him vanish without a trace in the Eastern Extreme Secret Realm? Since there had been no battles reported, he must have started far away and still hadn’t received any news to return. 0
 
As for Gu Ping, speculation leaned towards him being part of that first scenario. After all, his Golden Core cultivation level was somewhat lacking in this Eastern Extreme Secret Realm. 0
 
Only Chu Hantian knew that Gu Ping was truly capable of surviving in such circumstances. After all, in Flowing Cloud Realm, he had single-handedly turned the tide and saved numerous lives, allowing many to escape safely. Otherwise, it was hard to say how many would have made it out alive from Flowing Cloud Realm. 0
 
The scene shifted as several Loose Cultivators led by disciples from Cold Mountain Peak arrived at Shandong, seeking to converge with everyone at Summit. 0
 
 
As a few people reached the halfway point of the mountain, the Nine Nether Cultivators suddenly emerged, surrounding them completely. 0
 
Seeing this scene, everyone understood that the Cutting Off the Source of Power had prevented other cultivators from joining forces with those at the Summit. 0
 
Naturally, the people on the mountain would not stand by idly; a Great War was about to break out. 0
 
Yang Sheng led the members of the Jade Void Sect, rushing towards the halfway point to provide support, while Xiao Zhang took charge of leading everyone else to Han Mountain Cliff, where Both Sides were poised for confrontation, aiming to intercept Mistake's main force. 0
 
In an instant, chaos erupted as dozens of Golden Core Cultivators and over ten Nascent Soul Cultivators clashed at the Cliff. Due to the numerical disadvantage of the World of Mortals' cultivators, especially among the Nascent Soul Stage, only Xiao Zhang, a Half-Step to Godhood, and a Jade Void Sect Nascent Soul cultivator in early stages stood against Mistake's seven attackers. They set up the Void Four Symbols Formation at the Cliff, with four individuals occupying each formation eye to block incoming enemies. 0
 
At this moment, the seven Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Ninth Underworld realized that this battle could be crucial. Whichever side emerged victorious would likely gain a significant advantage in Jie Donglai's conflict. Resolutely, they charged into the Formation, attempting to break it apart. 0
 
On another front, Yang Sheng's rescue efforts faced immense resistance as Both Sides began fighting fiercely for even a slight advantage, paying a heavy price for every small gain. 0
 
Four scenes unfolded: Han Mountain occupied two frames, while the academy members held one. Another scene continuously shifted to various cultivators fleeing for their lives within the secret realm. 0
 
Time passed slowly as blood soaked every corner of the Eastern Extreme Secret Realm's ground. The chaotic Spiritual Energy made conditions within the secret realm increasingly dire, complicating battles further. 0
 
Meanwhile, Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, finally spotted Tan Siyuan thanks to his Transcendence Stage flight speed. Unfortunately for Tan Siyuan, he was once again being pursued by Nine Nether Cultivators and was struggling to resist. The already small number of Tianzhu Temple members had dwindled further; only three Golden Core Stage monks remained outside—Dong Lai and Qingyu—while all others had perished in battle. 0
 
When Tenglan arrived, Tan Siyuan and his companions finally breathed a sigh of relief; they were safe at last! 0
 
The Nine Nether Cultivators surrounding Tan Siyuan recognized that they could no longer continue their assault upon seeing that azure escape light approaching. They knew that if they stayed any longer until that powerful cultivator arrived, their deaths would be certain. Thus, they chose to retreat temporarily. But could they truly escape as they hoped? 0
 
Since they had come this far, they might as well leave Dong Lai behind. 0
 
The cold air began to spread among all Nine Nether Cultivators present; moisture in the air started to condense. The various types of Spiritual Energy turned icy cold, forming a natural cage that trapped them there. Any slight movement would result in being pierced by ice crystals without even allowing blood to flow out. 0
 
 
The fear of death spread among every Nine Nether Cultivator, yet they could only watch helplessly as they were encased one by one in blocks of ice. 0
 
Until the first Late Stage of Golden Core Nine Nether Cultivator, with wide eyes, looked at the already arrived Tenglan, known as Zhongshang. He managed to utter two words, but the gasp never escaped his lips. 0
 
Transcendence. 0
 
Outside the secret realm, everyone fell silent at that scene. They all knew of Tenglan, known as Zhongshang's power, but they had never truly understood just how strong he was or in what way his strength manifested. The sight before them was effortless; it was as if he were crushing mere ants, easily dispatching seven Golden Core Cultivators. That level of power was simply terrifying. 0
 
Ranked tenth on the Heavenly Ranking, his reputation was well-deserved. 0
 
Banpo Master saw Tenglan, known as Zhongshang save Qingyu and felt a sense of relief. To see his own disciple alive was the best comfort he could hope for regarding that Transcendent Practitioner. 0
 
However, before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a scroll fell from the shattered remains of the Peak of Golden Core Nine Nether Cultivator. Tenglan, known as Zhongshang reached out with his leg and caught a glimpse of it. His expression changed drastically, filled with uncertainty. 0
 
"Senior brother, what’s wrong?" Tan Siyuan asked, her tone casual despite the gravity of the situation. Yi Dongzi's nonchalance made her somewhat oblivious to the tension around them. 0
 
"It’s nothing. We should hurry and regroup with the others," Tenglan, known as Zhongshang replied, putting away the scroll. Only he knew what lay within its contents, and at that moment, his expression was extremely serious because he had no idea if that scroll contained information about him. 0
