In a valley over sixteen thousand li from the territory of the Yue Family, a number of large structures had been erected, displaying a substantial scale.
However, at this moment, the bustling construction seemed to have come to a halt.
The person in charge of the project, Yue Family Master Chi Yue and the Peak Master of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect Wanyue, stood in front of the cluster of buildings, respectfully greeting two figures with deep bows.
These two were none other than the real pillars of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, the seasoned existences who had become famous over a thousand years ago—Venerable Daoist Luo Jiuxiao and Venerable Daoist Wang Xuanjing.
A millennium ago, they had achieved the Profound Immortal Realm, leading an era, intimidating all directions, ensuring that the Four Great Families and numerous top forces in the Profound Immortal Realm dared not make any rash moves.
After a thousand years, their cultivation had become unfathomably profound to an unimaginable extent.
If it were not for the fact that the Spirit Mechanism in the Profound Immortal Realm had dissipated too severely, and breaking through to Peak Profound Immortal, which is to say Four Days Profound Immortals, would unbalance their own Spirit Mechanism and that of the external environment, they would probably have already reached the realm of Four Days Profound Immortals, or even Five-day Profound Immortals.
Even so, their Spiritual Realm had reached a level unimaginable to ordinary people.
Considering only the Spiritual Realm, they believed themselves to be not inferior to those Sixth-Heaven Profound Immortals, or even Seven Heavens Profound Immortals.
In other words, if they were to return to a world rich with Spirit Mechanism, it would not take long for them to step into the realm of Sixth-Heaven Profound Immortals, or even Seven Heavens Profound Immortals.
That was also the reason why the Xuanyuan Sword Sect hoped to buy time with Gu Jinlai.
As long as the Xuanyuan Sword Sect and the Creation Gate could maintain peace for the next few decades, and they could quietly cultivate in the Longevity World, they didn’t dare claim the realm of Seven Heavens Profound Immortals, but achieving Sixth-Heaven Profound Immortals within a few decades was by no means a fantasy.
At the moment, neither of them seemed to be planning to head to the Longevity World to become Sixth-Heaven Profound Immortals.
Seriousness filled their faces.
Chi Yue and Wanyue respectfully greeted with a bow.
"How is the construction of the Realm Gate? Can it be activated?"
Wang Xuanjing asked directly, without beating around the bush.
"Due to the short construction time, only the first three phases of the six-phase project have been completed, including capturing, locating, and anchoring. There are still three major phases left: connecting, opening, and stabilizing,"
Chi Yue, the Daoist Master, said as he glanced at Wang Xuanjing, "Even with the support of the Sect, it is estimated that it would take another year to fully open the Realm Gate."
Wang Xuanjing stated directly, "I will take care of the forced connection, opening, and stabilization myself!"
"That...could damage the structure of the Realm Gate, rendering it unusable ever again..."
Chi Yue, the Daoist Master, hesitated.
Wang Xuanjing and Luo Jiuxiao exchanged looks.
If their speculation was correct, it would actually be good for the Realm Gate to become unusable.
Not only did they need to destroy this Realm Gate, but they also had to shatter all channels connecting to the Longevity World, completely severing the Profound Immortal Realm from the Longevity World.
If necessary, they would even consider re-establishing contact with the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty...
And join the Immortal Cave Heaven project.
"Connect to the Longevity World."
A mirror-like treasure appeared in Wang Xuanjing’s hand, "Leave the rest to me."
The moment this treasure appeared, faint space ripples had already begun to spread out.
"Breaking Space Mirror!"
Upon seeing this object, Chi Yue, the Daoist Master, sharply contracted his eyes.
Breaking Space Mirror.
This was one of the Six Great Immortal Instruments of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect—the Breaking Space Mirror.
The Xuanyuan Ancestor had left behind six Immortal Artifacts for the Xuanyuan Sword Sect. Four of them were taken by the Four Great Families when they split off, and the remaining two were the Breaking Space Mirror, capable of twisting and traversing space, and the Xuanyuan Immortal Sword, which among the six instruments, was the strongest in slaying enemies and bore the Destruction Dao of the Xuanyuan Ancestor.
Venerable Daoist Wang Xuanjing had even brought this Immortal Artifact just to enter the Longevity World without alerting Gu Jinlai?
"Connect to the Longevity World."
Wang Xuanjing ordered.
Chi Yue, the Daoist Master, did not dare to disobey and quickly summoned various Formation Masters to start working on this half-finished Realm Gate.
In just half a day, the Realm Gate had already formed a vortex, but instead of any space ripples emanating from its core, it seemed to be brewing a terrifying storm, as if anyone caught within would be torn apart by its power.
"The sooner we confirm our suspicions, the sooner we can prepare and make arrangements,"
Wang Xuanjing glanced at Luo Jiuxiao, "In any case, the Evil Spirit has already appeared, and it has been around for a thousand years... the probability of the Evil God... is too great. When you are in charge here, you must be ready to evacuate."
Luo Jiuxiao nodded, "Take one of my avatars with you. Once we confirm the situation, we’ll take immediate action."
Wang Xuanjing thought of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect’s records and some images describing the war ten thousand years ago...
The entire Xuanhuang Alliance, Great Dao Golden Immortals fell by the half...
How terrible and devastating that was!
The thought alone was enough to send shivers down one’s spine.
If that Evil God had indeed reappeared, and was even in their midst...
They must be prepared for the worst-case scenario.
To flee the Profound Immortal Realm with their entire Sect!
With this pressure and seriousness, Wang Xuanjing quickly stepped into the vortex that harbored a destructive storm.
In his hand, the Breaking Space Mirror flickered with space ripples, gradually forming a membrane-like distortion that enveloped his figure.
Maintaining this state, the Supreme Elder stepped forward into the vortex.
A sense of losing the concept of time and space washed over him.
However, Wang Xuanjing remained calm, showing no unease from the strange sensation brought about by teleportation.
