Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension

Secret realms and the like, although seperate from the physical world, were still within the Second Great Mortal World and were pocket dimensions existing within the Mortal World.

One needed the Half Immortal Realm at the very least to do something like that, and without a question, only an Immortal could create a world completely seperated from the Lower Realm.

Perhaps a Vagrant Immortal, perhaps beings even higher than that.

At this moment, as everyone finally came before Tian Yongheng, all of their gazes fell on his figure sitting cross-legged in the center of the deepest and only room in the cave abode, emitting an ethereal light and countless Dao rhymes swirling around him.

Wei Qiushan was slightly stunned upon seeing him.

This man...is the most exquisite looking mortal I have ever seen!

Indeed, although he still had his memories as an Immortal, he would never think of someone looking too "otherworldly". Immortals didn't care about looks, as they could be changed at will.

However, Wei Qiushan knew that Tian Yongheng wasn't an Immortal. It was because there was no Immortal Qi in the Eternal Peak, and even around Tian Yongheng, there was no trace of Immortal Qi or Divine Energy used by Immortals.

This was exactly why he was surprised.

He could see it at a glance that this was Tian Yongheng's original appearance, without the slightest alteration.

And another point was that he had indeed never seen a "mortal" as good looking as the other party.

This wasn't shock or envy, but clear appreciation.

This person is truly extraordinary. There's a chance he might really be as the rumors suggest, the reincarnation of an ancient supreme great power!

If that is so, then I shouldn't do anything to offend him for the time being. I don't know if he was at a higher realm than my past life self once, so it's better to be cautious.

After all, I'm too weak right now, and this person... No, my grandmaster, can probably kill me with a faint release of his aura.

Wei Qiushan pretended to be shoked for a while before returning to his original expression.

[Wei Qiushan's favorability towards you has increased.]

[Current favorability: 4-Star]

This change, combined with the system notification, naturally did not go unnoticed by Tian Yongheng.

This fellow... Is he pretending to be surprised at my appearance?

Does he think I'm stupid?

He snorted with dissatisfied inwardly as he opened his eyes, his gaze landing on the group of people standing not far from him.

Seeing this, the disciples bowed, while figures like Zhao Ye were also about to give a slight bow before they were lifted up by a wave of gentle but magnificent Spiritual Energy.

Tian Yongheng glanced at them and nodded before speaking, "We're considered of the same generation in the Eternal Peak. You all don't need to be so courteous from now on."

The 3 people, including Zhao Ye, Tian Yunchen, and Su Yanlan immediately straightened their backs upon hearing this.

In fact, Tian Yongheng was the youngest among them. Even if the memories of his past life were extremely short compared to the centuries spent in this world, they were still very vivid, and he felt uncomfortable seeing these people who had been managing the entire Eternal Peak for him being like that.

And what he said was essentially the truth. Tian Yunchen was even his older brother by many years.

Thus, it wouldn't be nice to see an older brother bowing to a younger brother. Even though they didn't have any opportunities to meet since childhood, the relationship was still there. The other party could refer to him as the Peak Master because of this, but in essence, they were still siblings.

At this moment, Tian Yunchen stepped forward and asked, "Peak Master, why did you call all of us here?"

Hearing his question, Tian Yongheng nodded his head.

"I had something to tell you all."

As he said this, a broken compass appeared in his hand. It seemed to be only a fragment of a compass, everyone present in the room could feel the boundless power emanating from it.

Specially Wei Qiushan.

His pupils suddenly shrank as he felt the overwhelming power exuding out of the compass fragment.

This is... Power of the Time Dao!?

How could such a precious treasure even exist in the Lower Realm!? Impossible!

A chill ran down his spine as he stared at the compass fragment in disbelief and utter shock.

The way he saw Tian Yongheng in his mind suddenly changed. Now, he was certain that the person before him either had the backing of a force he couldn't comprehend, or he was truly the reincarnation of an old monster far more powerful than his past life self.

Even he had never seen a treasure of this calibre, exuding such potent power of the Dao of Time.

When the others saw Tian Yongheng taking out the Time Dao Compass fragment, they were all curious.

At their level, they had yet to come into contact with powers involving the Great Daos. Even the strongest among them, Zhao Ye, could only comprehend the most basic heavenly rules of the Lower Realm.

Seeing their reaction, Tian Yongheng secretly nodded with satisfaction.

As he explained about the Time Dao Compass and its functions, all the people present had their eyes widen and jaws drop.

Just the fact that a single day outside was equivalent to an entire year inside the world of the Time Dao Compass was greatly extraordinary, such a treasure simply couldn't exist in the Mortal World. But the fact that their aging process and lifespan decrease would only happen at the same pace as the outside world even when they're inside of the compass made it even more extraordinary. It was nothing short of a cheat code.

Although some of them were disappointed to hear that it could only accommodate peak Golden Core cultivator right now, their moods brightened when they learned that it was only a single fragment of the Time Dao Compass and it could he upgraded if other fragments were combined into it.

If Tian Yongheng could get one fragment, he could definitely get the others. That's where their confidence came from.

And when that time came, the number of brings and highest cultivation base allowed in the Time Dao Compass would undoubtedly increase for sure.

All the disciples who had yet to reach the peak of Golden Core Realm had their eyes gleam with suppressed excitement. They already understood why Tian Yongheng had called them over, but still patiently waited for him to explain.

Soon, Tian Yongheng finally explained why he had called them here.

His clone was going to control the Time Dao Compass, and as the leading disciples of Eternal Peak, they were allowed to enter it for cultivation first. They would automatically come out of it after reaching the peak of Golden Core Realm.

And after all of their realms had improved, he would give this fragment to Tian Yunchen, who would let other disciples of the Eternal Peak enter it to enhance their cultivation.

This was nothing short of a supreme opportunity. Even those with the weakest talents could cultivate to the Golden Core Realm with the help of the Time Dao Compass.

How to choose the hundred disciples of the Eternal Peak who would later enter the Time Dao Compass was entirely up to Tian Yunchen, Su Yanlan, and Zhao Ye. They could discuss it themselves.

In just one year of the outside world, they could produce hundreds of Golden Core pinnacle powerhouses. Even the Nascent Soul powers in the State of Feng barely had over a thousand Golden Core cultivators.

And now, in just ten years, they could surpass that number.

The Time Dao Compass could truly build Eternal Peak's foundation which wasn't solely relying on Tian Yongheng, the Eternal Lord.

Soon, Tian Yunchen, Zhao Ye, Su Yanlan, and Ao Longchen left Tian Yongheng's cave abode. They had always been certain that Tian Yongheng had a huge background, so they didn't question the Time Dao Compass' origin.

Since they couldn't enter it right now because of having a higher realm, they would just endure it for the time being.

On the other side, Tian Yongheng directly let the rest of the disciples enter the Time Dao Compass, including Wei Qiushan.

Although the other party was the reincarnation of an Immortal God, Tian Yongheng had been observing him silently through his clone for the past 15 years and noticed that Wei Qiushan always cultivated diligently and never provoked anyone, neither did he have any useless air of superiority.

Thus, he let him in as well.

The other disciples had also been staying by his side for many years, so he trusted them too.

The main factor was that all of them had a high favorability for him, reaching at least 4-Star. They wouldn't betray him under normal circumstances.

Besides, what could they do against him anyways?

Even if they had any thoughts, they had to think of the consequences before taking any action. Although he couldn't refine the Time Dao Compass because it wad fragmented, he had already left a Dao Mark on it.
