Chapter 525: The First Day: Mystic Heaven

“Boom!”

The Divine General on Earth removed his enormous helmet and suddenly knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with confusion.

He actually killed the human body of the blue sky?

How could this be possible…

How can this be? Who told him what happened? Who set him up? For whom did he become this blade?

There were no answers.

He vaguely sensed a sense of dissonance, but clearly, he had no time to investigate. No matter who plotted against him, the fact remained that he had killed the True Immortal’s human body.

And this was undoubtedly a crime punishable by death. The True Immortal didn’t immediately erase him or destroy everything here simply because of mercy.

Did the World God descend, making it inconvenient for the True Immortal to intervene?

Without the True Immortal, are there no celestial clans?

The True Immortal is invincible.

Unforgivable.

The Divine General bowed his head, which had not lowered for seventy thousand years, burying it deep into the earth, causing the ground to tremble.

“I greet the blue sky; my little demon’s death is insufficient to atone!”

“I only ask the True Immortal to spare this resting place of my emperor!”

The Divine General’s voice shook the heavens.

As he lifted his gaze, still kneeling, he expressionlessly raised the Divine Sword and, with a roar, suddenly plunged it into his chest.

His powerful physique resisted the Divine Sword, but with his roar, the sword still pierced through.

Blood from the king of the Manifest Realm rained down, forming a terrifying barrier— a blood flower covering the entire God Mountain Forbidden Area.

The blood flower was vibrant red, blooming with thirty-six petals, resembling a hazy veil, casting a bloody layer over the forbidden area, bursting with twisted power.

This was the manifestation of all the Divine General’s power, a plant-like form of authority that would guard this absolute imperial tomb.

Here, it remained a forbidden zone for both humans and demons.

It continued to be the resting place of the absolute emperor.

A blue beam of light pierced through the celestial clouds.

It shot out into the outer universe.

Too many cultivators sensed it.

Even beyond the Red Heaven, several True Immortals cast their gaze.

“Is he trying out this futile effort again? Doesn’t the blue sky understand? The lower realm belongs to children; they possess endless possibilities as they grow.”

“Times are advancing, even if we secure the path, cutting off everything and placing ourselves high above, our outdated essence still cannot change.”

“What do you say, Xuan?”

“Opening the path of the Five Elements to create the world, suppressing the blue sky, establishing the First Heaven—until now, no one has surpassed him. What do you expect him to respond?”

“……”

“It will surpass.”

Many curious gazes turned toward a silent man.

This man is named Xuan, a part of his title; his real name no longer holds significance. He rose during an age of despair, a time that was pure black with no white, completely controlled by the blue sky. Thus, Xuan, who broke through all of this, became known as Mystic Heaven among the people.

This man repeated,

“It will surpass.”

“The world has endless possibilities.”

“However… before that, I will cut off all possibilities. The world cannot continue to evolve.”

…

“Blue sky, how weak. No wonder so much planning is necessary.”

Yun Ye sighed, casting a glance at the God Mountain Forbidden Area before choosing to leave. He had intended to explore, but the resting place of the True Immortal…

Better not.

Ye Cang, the azure sky.

Azul actually means blue.

The blue sky sealed part of its consciousness, transforming into a glimmer of spirit reincarnated for this great struggle. Unfortunately, it had just emerged, and the heavenly mandate had come.

In the final moment, the blue sky could not see through Yun Ye, not for any other reason, but simply because it was too weak.

If it weren’t so weak, it would not need to plot so much; it could directly reincarnate into the lower realm and effortlessly push through everything.

As a True Immortal, to reincarnate into the lower realm, one must seal all of their power.

It’s impossible to rely on True Immortal rules in the lower realm, as it would be akin to the main body descending and would immediately attract the World God from the endless void.

In other words, the advantages of a True Immortal reincarnating mainly include three aspects: an indestructible soul, the knowledge of being a True Immortal, and the resources belonging to a True Immortal.

Even though a True Immortal cannot descend for an extended period, they can strike during the brief moment of transcending to eliminate others easily.

Such power naturally represents absolute authority; various terrifying forces in the Red Heaven realm may well be the believers of a certain True Immortal.

Of course, it feels a bit strange for cultivators to use faith; more accurately, it should be called the "Immortal Court Factions."

With support from the lower realm factions, a True Immortal can easily attain an invincible starting point; things like the True Dragon’s Nine Transformations and Fixed Sea Pearls are all part of this.

Moreover, possessing the identity of a True Immortal makes it reasonable to sacrifice in exchange for something, especially when it comes to gaining an Honored Position.

Not to mention that the faction to which the blue sky belongs might possess Dao Classics, making it even easier to control certain things.

The real question is a single one.

That is whether a True Immortal can crush all other factions in the Red Heaven realm through personal abilities and claim the ultimate crown when resources are overwhelmingly abundant.

The answer is quite ambiguous.

Perhaps most people will take it for granted that a True Immortal, after hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, would accumulate unbeatable knowledge and skills.

But the reality is entirely different.

The so-called becoming a True Immortal means transforming oneself into an eternal body of rules, endowing oneself with the concept of immortality.

Then the question arises: can rules learn and progress?

To simplify, can the constants of the universe change from time to time?

The answer is, of course, no.

At the moment of ascending to immortality, the potential that belongs to humanity is fixed; to progress further, one must continue to bestow rules. All the knowledge, skills, bloodlines, and powers of mortals will lose their significance; one cannot learn or master what they couldn’t before.

That is the nature of immortals.

Thus, the blue sky ultimately could not personally eliminate the Divine General on Earth, nor could it see through Yun Ye’s origins; this was simply a matter of insufficient ability.

As the third True Immortal, the blue sky’s system was indeed too ancient. Defeating the Red Heaven was merely because the Red Heaven had made no progress since becoming immortal.

What he could do was seal memories, allowing himself to grow to invincibility through various coincidences, only to awaken at the last moment—then the plan might succeed!

If he awakens too early, the possibilities belonging to him would instead directly end, being able to exert at most the strength he had before becoming immortal. For the present age, that is far too weak.

If it were Xuan who took the same approach, perhaps the chances of success would be higher. However, he had planned for so many years, attempted countless times, and had barely succeeded only a few times, thus opening the second realm of the blue sky.

The blue sky did not care about yet another failure; after all, it had nearly endless time to try and plan.

Yet this time, to directly fail at the very beginning was indeed the unexpected part.

After waiting for tens of thousands of years for an opportunity, he thought a wonderful story would unfold, only to be so simply interrupted.

This inevitably reminded him of the Red Heaven factions…

The Red Heaven was actually the last formed of the three heavens, marking one of his biggest failures. The wisdom and courage of humanity can indeed not be underestimated; unexpected events will always occur. Perhaps this can be explained by destiny, but it is a song for certain individuals, which even he must acknowledge.

Even though he wished for a swift end.
