Time flies, and a year has passed.
At the same moment, at the summit of Zhongnan Immortal Mountain.
It has been three years and eleven months since Tan Yun escaped from the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range.
Inside the twelfth level of the Supreme Exquisite Holy Tower at the summit, Tan Yun has spent a total of nine hundred forty years.
Among the several women at the summit, Shen Subing has progressed from the eighth layer of the transcendence realm to the ninth layer.
Tuoba Yingying, Nangong Yuqin, Tang Mengyi, Si Hong Shiyao, Dantai Xian'er, and Xue Ziyan have also successively advanced from the seventh layer of the transcendence realm to the eighth layer.
Gongsun Ruoxi and Nangong Ruxue are now at the fifth layer of the transcendence realm.
Tang Yongsheng, who has been cultivating on the island, is already at the eighth layer of the transcendence realm, while the generation's empress, Feng Qingcheng, is at the fourth layer.
At this moment, Tan Yun's Huangfu Sacred Sect, along with the affiliated Tang Zun Sacred Dynasty and Qingcheng Sacred Dynasty, has reached one hundred ninety experts in the transcendence realm.
"Master, I have something to report!"
While Tan Yun was cultivating in the tower, he suddenly heard Tuoba Yingying's voice from the summit.
He kept his eyes closed and conveyed through spiritual sense, "What is it?"
"Report to Master, thirty transcendence realm experts have flown into our Heavenly Pool Snow Sea and are heading toward our Pengduo Immortal Island," Tuoba Yingying stated truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun abruptly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing in his gaze, and conveyed through spiritual sense, "It has only been a little over ten years since we destroyed Zhongnan Immortal Mountain, so the remnants of Zhongnan Immortal Mountain that went to the Demon Realm and Beast Domain to search for me should not be returning yet."
"Then the only force in the entire Heavenly Punishment Continent that can suddenly mobilize thirty transcendence realm experts is the Six Heavens Mystic Palace!"
"It seems that Shangguan Ya, after not finding us in the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range, has come to Zhongnan Immortal Mountain to take a look."
"Yingying, do the newcomers include Nie Rou or Shangguan Ya?"
After listening, Tuoba Yingying respectfully replied, "No, but it cannot be ruled out that she has disguised herself as an old woman."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun stood up and left the Holy Tower, descending to the summit. His hair flew in the wind, and his spiritual sense spread rapidly like an invisible tide in all directions.
When Tan Yun's spiritual sense extended to nine million miles to the east, he discovered twenty-six old men and four middle-aged individuals flying rapidly toward Zhongnan Immortal Mountain over the Heavenly Pool Snow Sea.
Among the thirty individuals, three were at the ninth layer of the transcendence realm, while the rest were at the seventh and eighth layers.
Now that Tan Yun has advanced to the eighth layer of the transcendence realm, the range of his spiritual sense has reached a circumference of one hundred fifty million miles!
At this moment, Tan Yun, wary of the possibility of others lurking behind the thirty individuals, released his spiritual sense to the extreme and found that in the one hundred fifty million miles of ocean above, there was no one else besides the thirty individuals.
However, what Tan Yun did not know was that one hundred ninety-six elders from the Six Heavens Mystic Palace were hiding nine million miles behind the thirty individuals, holding their breath and activating their Invisibility Talismans, following the thirty individuals toward Zhongnan Immortal Mountain from a distance.
The reason that these one hundred ninety-six people were following the thirty individuals from afar was obvious. If the thirty individuals ahead were attacked, they could assist; if not, they would flee to the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range to inform Shangguan Ya, who was guarding the entrance of the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range, about the presence of the Huangfu Sacred Sect at Zhongnan Immortal Mountain!
