Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

A piece falls, transforming heaven and earth.

In the fluctuating scene amid the strands of cyan smoke, the picture of day and night exchanging caused by the banished immortal’s move dropped Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens into total silence.

This was not only for Gong Buhuo or the other True Beings on duty, but also for several sect top levels and Void Refining True Monarch who had been awoken from their seclusion, all of whom were stunned by the spectacle before them.

As high-level cultivators, they could distinctly perceive the fluctuations in the cosmic rules within the changing scene. Even the awakened Void Refining True Monarch and Gong Buhuo could sense a vague concept of time emerging from it.

All these transformations suggested that the interspersed scenes of day and night were real, not simply standard illusory techniques.

While many high-level cultivators could accomplish small-scale celestial phenomena changes, the concept of transforming the whole heaven and earth at the speed of thought is entirely different.

Moreover, they all sensed that Shen Yuan’s location wasn’t in the Primal Chaos Realm, but in a space separated from it – perhaps a blessed land or one of the grotto heavens.

If anyone assumed that grotto heavens sacred ground is much smaller than the outside world, making it easier to alter celestial phenomena, they’d be greatly mistaken.

There are no actual sun and moon in the grotto heavens sacred ground. The so-called sky, sun, and moon scenes are mostly concocted illusions, a consensus across the Cultivation World.

To depict day-to-night transitions in the grotto heavens sacred ground, one must equip it with a real sun!

This brings up another concept. If the space Shen Yuan is in has a real sun, then what exactly is that space?

“Possession of a magical treasure of immortals capable of mirroring the rules of the sun and the moon? An Almighty Earth Immortal who has reached the Peak Stage on the Earth Immortal Path, nurturing a Supreme Grotto Heavens with complete rules? Or is it a Tiny Diverse World?”

Various ideas flashed through all the high-level cultivators’ minds in Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens, each idea putting them in indescribable unease.

Among these, the probability of a magical treasure of immortals is the lowest because even residing in grotto heavens sacred ground would make it hard to sustain the manifestation of such treasure after the Great Schism. The chances for the latter two are far greater than the former.

For the now feeble Primal Chaos Realm, if an Almighty Earth Immortal has reached the Peak Stage, it signifies an invincible strength to dominate a generation.

If it’s a complete Tiny Diverse World, it signifies that one can hide within it, avoiding Spirit Energy depletion, no longer requiring the maintenance of grotto heavens balance through continuous sleep or spirit stone supply.

Either of these would cause unimaginable shock to the existing world.

Inside the Cloud Top Sky Palace, Gong Buhuo looked excitedly at the picture that appeared in the cyan smoke, at this moment he had no doubts left in his mind.

“It must be the Earth Immortal Path! It must be the Supreme Grotto Heavens!”

Everyone in the Cultivation World knows that the Earth Immortal Path is a grand path pointing directly towards the Peak Stage but few people know the actual foundation of the Earth Immortal Path.

In the tens of thousands of years of the Primal Chaos Realm, the occurrence of strong beings on the Earth Immortal Path has been pitifully rare.

Most of these Earth Immortals could only open a blessed land or forcibly occupy one of the grotto heavens, becoming its master.

Only Gong Buhuo, born into the main sect, knows clearly that the foundation of the Earth Immortal Path is the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Pot’s Heaven.

Only by obtaining the Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, could one qualify to further open a grotto heavens, then nurture the grotto heaven to the supreme stage, and ascend to the peak via the Earth Immortal Path.

The inheritance of Pot’s Heaven Divine Power is in the main sect, and all the Almighty Earth Immortals that the main sect produced in each generation rely on the Pot’s Heaven Technique.

The only place in the world that can give birth to Supreme Grotto Heavens is the main sect.

This is also the reason why Gong Buhuo used the Storage Ring to search for traces of the main sect.

If the Pot’s Heaven Divine Power isn’t lost, then the main sect wouldn’t be destroyed.

The scene presented in the cyan smoke in front of him could be interpreted in several ways, but the only one that fit the identity of the Supreme Taoist from the main sect was the possibility of Supreme Grotto Heavens at the Peak Stage of the Earth Immortal Path.

By combining this with the truth of the Founding Ancestor’s reincarnation, everything becomes crystal clear.

Even if the Su Ancient Book Immortal tells Gong Buhuo now that the banished immortal in the picture isn’t the Supreme Taoist, Gong Buhuo wouldn’t believe it.

The Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, the reincarnation of the ancestor, and the Supreme Grotto Heavens, all these clues point to one possibility.

Upon realizing this, Gong Buhuo quickly knelt down and paid a slow homage to the image that emerged from the cyan smoke.

“The renounced disciple, Gong Buhuo, is only verifying the identity, and means no disrespect to the Supreme Taoist master. 1 beg for your forgiveness.”

Gong Buhuo believes that the Supreme Taoist master must have known of his little scheme way beforehand. Being bestowed with an Imperial Edict declaring him one of the Heavenly Court Canonical Gods was proof enough.

The reason he didn’t take the initiative to explain was simply because he didn’t care about this trivial matter.

As expected, after the banished immortal placed his piece in the image, he took up an ancient book and began reading quietly, making no response to Gong Buhuo.

The courtyard sank back into tranquil harmony. Everything was so peaceful.

After a moment’s thought, Gong Buhuo lowered his head and paid another respect:

“It was Gong Buhuo that was rude. If the cosmic rules are restored, Gong Buhuo will definitely apologise in person!”

As soon as his words fell, Gong Buhuo took a step forward, cautiously removing the God Invocation Incense that was half consumed.

The strands of cyan smoke dissipated, and the illusory image in the sky collapsed with a crash, making it impossible to trace the banished immortal’s whereabouts again.

In the Courtyard Secret Realm, as the God Invocation Incense extinguished, Shen Yuan suddenly lifted his head in confusion and looked around.

Just moments before, he faintly sensed a concealed probing gaze around the whole Courtyard Secret Realm..
