"So... is that the existence above the Mortal Transcendence Initial Stage?"
"Mortal Transcendence Intermediate Stage?"
"Mortal Transcendence Late Stage?"
"Or rather, is it the realm of Perfection above the Mortal Transcendence Late Stage?"
Atop the city walls of Tianyin City.
There stood Yan Yin, the Young Family Head of the Yan Family of Tianyin City.
He furrowed his brows tightly, silently gazing at the source of that aura.
The expression in his eyes increasingly became more solemn.
The Immortal Realm above the realm of Mortal Transcendence Perfection.
He dared not contemplate it.
It was merely the last realm within the Five Realms of Mortality, the Mortal Transcendence.
Was the difference between the minor stages within it truly so vast in terms of strength, presence, and influence?
This feeling was as if it were a difference between the clouds and the mud.
It seemed to be on an entirely different level.
But how could this be possible?
How could a cultivator above the Mortal Transcendence Initial Stage be so terrifying?
If the person was not of the Mortal Transcendence Initial Realm, then who could he be?
If that person's cultivation was indeed just one or two minor stages higher than the Mortal Transcendence Initial Stage, what would become of his Tianyin City Yan Family in the future?
Keep in mind, whether it was the Luo Family of Qingshi City or the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty,
they all had cultivators above the Mortal Transcendence Initial Stage.
If those in stages above the Mortal Transcendence Initial Stage, be it the Mortal Transcendence Intermediate Stage or the Mortal Transcendence Late Stage, were truly so formidable...
Then, to eradicate his Tianyin City Yan Family,
or rather, to directly wipe out the three Great Millennium Families within the territory of the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family,
wouldn't it be nearly cost-free?
Atop the city walls of Tianyin City.
The more Yan Yin, the Young Family Head of the Yan Family, thought about it, the more apprehension and unrest he felt.
The words of the old ancestor of his family were not false.
In this world, many people and affairs are connected with interests.
Without any benefit, or even to the detriment of oneself, in general, nobody would act in such a way.
But if, in a situation with little benefit, acting against his Tianyin City Yan Family would also incur minimal loss...
Then the current predicament of his Tianyin City Yan Family seemed to have become somewhat delicate.
No one would know whether the ultimate victor, for some reason, would choose to target his Tianyin City Yan Family as a starting point.
in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
During these three days, something occurred in the borderlands between the Luo Family of Qingshi City and the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty that shook the entire Da Feng Dynasty.
That was the downfall of the Chen Family, the head of the three Great Millennium Families within the territory of the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family.
Within these three days, they perished in the borderlands.
It seemed that the entire Chen Family had been eradicated.
Regarding who was behind this and why,
even though no one knew the definite answer,
a bit of contemplation
was enough to provide an understanding.
This must have been the doing of that fourth hidden old ancestor within the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty.
And the reason people had such a speculation was that, following the fall of the Chen Family, one of the three Great Millennium Families, the other two greatly changed their habitual inaction.
They mobilized all their strength,
launching all-out assaults on the Luo Family of Qingshi City.
This caused, at least for a moment, the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty to regain the advantage.
On the other hand, the Luo Family of Qingshi City slowly started falling into a disadvantage.
Even during this time,
when the Luo Family of Qingshi City took out Talismans and the astonishing Formation Disks,
it still seemed to be of little avail.
Not that the Formation Disks and Talismans were useless now,
but under the suppression of absolute power,
these auxiliary tools would lose the effectiveness they were originally supposed to have.
In the borderlands between the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty and the Luo Family of Qingshi City,
within a massive fortress standing in the wilderness,
in the ancestral land of a family with the surname Yan,
Yan Yin, the Young Family Head of the Yan Family, stood silently beside an old man within a room with formidable defenses.
The elder was the only one in the Yan Family who had reached the Mortal Transcendence Initial Realm,
and he was also the cornerstone for the Yan Family to stand shoulder to shoulder with the three Great Millennium Families within the Imperial Feng Family's territory.
"The worst-case scenario has happened. The Chen Family, leading the three Great Millennium Families, has been wiped out. Following their fall, the remaining two launched incredibly fierce attacks on the Luo Family of Qingshi City."
"This, as you know, old ancestor, signifies something."
Listening to the young man's words,
the elder slightly squinted his eyes and fell into silence.
After an indeterminate amount of time had passed,
the old ancestor of the Yan Family, half-reclining on a chaise lounge in the room, finally let out a long breath. His somewhat cloudy eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness.
