Within the Immortal Domain, there exists the Upper Realm and the Lower Realms.
However, in ancient times such was not the case. The Immortal Domain at that time had only consisted of one realm with thousands of galaxies and planets within it.
In that era, legendary immortals existed who possessed strength that could allow them to hold entire planets or even galaxies within their grasp.
Their profound comprehension of the laws between heaven and earth could allow them to do remarkable feats.
They were the pinnacle of power that the trillions of mortals look up to and worship wholeheartedly, and in exchange for their worship and devotion, those immortals would bless them with peace and prosperity. The mortals thought that as long as they had the protection and blessings of those immortals, then everything was fine.
However, during an uneventful epoch, something happened silently and slowly. It went unnoticed at first, but gradually, the mortals soon realized that the immortals they were worshiping disappearing one by one. They felt that something was off, why were the immortals leaving them?
It was then that something monumental struck, literally.
Boom!... Boom!... Boom!'
Aloud noise with a seven-second interval between each sound echoed throughout the vast Immortal Domain.
It sounded like a heart that was struggling to beat in a human body.
No one on the thousands of planets in the Immortal Domain was exempt from hearing it
It seemed as if this loud sound was a prelude to a horrifying catastrophe that was about to befall them.
However, 1 year passed and nothing happened. Then three years passed, then ten years, then thirty years, then fifty years.
For fifty years this loud bang was constantly echoing throughout the Immortal Domain, and within that time there was no shortage of people who hadn't lost their minds.
An entire generation spreading across each planet in the Immortal Domain had grown up hearing that sound. Every time they woke up, every time they eat, every time they took a shit, even during sex it would echo ceaselessly.
Until one day, it stopped.
Everyone looked towards the firmament on their own planet.
The loud banging had stopped so suddenly that it caught everyone by surprise. Soon after, loud celebrations could be heard coming from all corners of the Immortal Domain.
Everyone had stopped what they were doing and started celebrating, whether they were sleeping, eating, taking a shit, or in the middle of sex, everyone rushed out of their homes and was in high spirits. They were finally able to live without hearing that godforsaken noise.
But, meanwhile, the later generation was celebrating, and the older generation was silent with only one thought in their minds.
"Where are the immortals? Did them going missing had anything to do with this noise?"
Unlike the older generation that had grown up seeing immortals, the later generation didn't particularly pay much attention to such details.
While the older generation was being doubtful, and just when the later generation was planning to celebrate for the next 3 years, the banging sound actually came back.
But this time, something was different.
Instead of a seven-second interval between each beat, it had turned six, but it didn't stop there. The interval then became five, then four, then three, all the way down to one, until there was none.
The banging sounded as if someone was hitting a drum at lightning-like speed, and worst of all, as the interval became shorter the noise became louder until it was completely deafening.
Countless mortals on the countless planets in the countless galaxies were bleeding from their ears, and just when the noise seemed as if it was about to take the lives of every living thing in the Immortal Domain, it stopped again.
But again it wasn’t over, this was just the beginning.
As soon as the noise stopped, a line suddenly appeared within the fabric of space.
This line was small at first but as time passed, it stretched to such an extent that when someone looked up from their own planet towards the starry or sunny sky, they could see it.
If a being of immeasurable strength stood outside of the Immortal Domain at this moment, they would shockingly realize that this line had split the Immortal Domain entirely into two halves. And what was further astonishing, was the fact that if they were to estimate the size of each half, they would find out that they were completely equal!
Such precision!
The line went right through the very fabric of space splitting the Immortal Domain into two. The power needed to accomplish such a feat was on the border of surpassing what an immortal could do. And this perfectly straight line seemed as if it was cut... by a sword?
Everyone who was still conscious had their eyes wide open with alarm covering their faces as they stared at this unreal scene. Trepidation filled each and every one of their hearts.
And they had a right to feel as such because as soon as the line became visible to everyone, fissures started to spread outward with the line as the center, one by one they multiplied until they covered the entire Immortal Domain.
Pandemonium erupted as everyone ran, but where could they go? This disaster affected not just a single planet or galaxy but the entire Immortal Domain, it was simply impossible to run from it!
Right now the Immortal Domain was splitting in two at a rapid rate, and by the time the fifth hour passed they were completely separated.
The left half was still somewhat intact, but the right half had shattered into countless pieces of fragmented space.
This will later be called the Upper Realm and the Lower Realms by future generations for all hope is not lost.
Even though planets were destroyed and billions of lives had been taken because of this cataclysmic event, some still survived, who would then go on to repopulate the remaining planets until civilization rekindles within the fragments of the Lower Realms as well the Upper Realm.....

~Countless Years In The Future~
The Wither Daemon Realm, one of the countless fragment spaces of the Lower Realms, was governed by the three biggest Sects.
The Heavens Gate Sect, the Celestial River Sect, and the Dark Moon Sect.
The stronger of the three being the Heavens Gate Sect, followed by the Celestial River Sect and then the Dark Moon Sect.
The Wither Demon Realm consisted of four planets, planet Lin, planet Meilin, planet Mingyu, and finally plant Daiyu.
The weakest of the four was planet Daiyu, and on it were 7 Continents. The Central Continent, the Meng Continent, the
Demonic Beast Continent, the Holy Continent, the Tang Continent, the Blood Continent, and finally the Wu Continent.
All seven continents were separated by a vast ocean, and at this time, somewhere between the Central Continent and the Wu Continent, there was a massive magic vessel flying above said ocean. This magic vessel was shaped like a boat, and with lightning-like speed, it flew towards the Wu Continent.
On the bow of the magic vessel stood six men in black clothing, each of them gave off an eerie and mysterious feeling that made it seem as if they were there and not there at the same time.
Between them sat a boy that looked to be around fourteen or fifteen years of age. He wore black combat cultivator robes and had jet-black hair that ran past his shoulders.
Even though he was young, he was by this world's standards extremely good-looking.
With the sun on such a face, while having the passing clouds as a background and his clothes and hair slowly drifting in the wind, it painted a captivating scenery that would make any painter exclaim in admiration.
They would rush to capture this scenery.
However, the frown that was etched on the boy's face would make those painters sigh in lamentation as such beautiful scenery was slightly ruined.
The youth on the bow was currently in deep thought with closed eyes. The frown on his face made it evident something was really bothering him.
Letting out a sigh he opened his eyes.
One of the men dressed in black saw this and approached his side. After cupping his fist he said.
"Young Master, we are now two days away from arriving at the clan."
The youth nodded his head before saying.
"Alright then, send word back home that I'll be arriving in two days."
"Yes, young master."
After the man in black acknowledged the order, he took out a communication jade slip and after using his Divine Sense to inscribe a message inside, he crushed it sending a message to said clan.
The handsome youth after letting out a loud yawn with both of his arms outstretched fell backwards onto the bow. He was now in the position of staring at the clear blue sky and the passing white clouds.
After closing his eyes once again, he muttered in a barely audible tone.
"It's no use thinking about it now, I'll just ask father during my welcome back celebration."
Staying silent for a while the youth whispered another one of his worries.
"I wonder if he's okay without me, I left the clan longer than usual...."
The handsome youth's words drifted off in the wind, which was followed by his light snores.
"I'M BACK!!"The sound of the Wu Clan's Ancestral building door being pushed open could be heard along with a loud shout that blasted throughout its main hall.The voice echoed on the mountain peak where the building was situated and then drifted downwards until it reached the other buildings that were at the foot of the mountain.All the servants and elders on the Ancestral Mountain turned their heads towards the deafening sound with surprise. Several loud crashes even sounded echoed from there.Several of the servants had been so shocked that the plates they were carrying fell to the floor."Yo-Young Master Longwei, please don't do that again!"One of the two guards at the entrance of the main hall spoke with a slight tremble in his voice, while the other looked towards the sky with a pale face.Both guards were sweating buckets in fear and panic.Not because the volume of the voice had scared them, but because this mountain was considered to be sacred grounds in the Wu Clan. Only t
After cupping his fist, the middle-aged man that stepped out of the void bowed and greeted the Patriarch and Grand Elder before he said."On the way back from the Central Continent there were two Sage Realm experts that were planning an ambush in secret, but I killed them before they got the chance to.""Did you find out who sent them?"The Patriarch looked relatively calm but a tinge of killing intent was behind his words.Shaking his head, elder Sun answered."No Patriarch. They were dressed as rogue cultivators and when I perform a soul search on them their memories about their origins and backgrounds were already erased, it also seems like they were being controlled like human puppets."Hearing that, the Patriarch's eyes turn cold and the killing intent he was suppressing erupted. An intense and chilling sensation immediately enveloped the main hall, causing the temperature in the room to drop."Someone actually tried to harm my son?"Feeling the intense killing intent being relea
The training grounds for the Wu Clan were located at the foot of the Battle Pavilion's mountain, quite some distance away from the Ancestral Mountain which was located in the center of the clan.The Ancestral Mountain was surrounded by four mountain peaks' that had four divisions of study. There was the Alchemy Division on the east mountain, the Demonic Beast Taming Division on the north mountain, the Rune and Formation Division on the south mountain and the Battle Division on the west mountain.In the center of these mountains and around the Ancestral peak, clan members residing in households, along with shopping districts, sub-branches of the four divisions, and other buildings present.The four divisions only allowed their disciples to live on the mountain peaks. To become a disciple of one of the four divisions only one requirement has to be met, which is to have a spirit root.A Spirit root is essential when Cultivating Spiritual Qi, without it a person would be doomed to stay a
The training grounds of the Wu Clan were rather large. After one entered through the main entrance they would be greeted with an open area that could hold about two stadiums.It had spectator seats that could hold more than a few thousand people. At its center were three huge podiums and four smaller ones. Off to the sides were areas with training dummies and targets that could be used for weapon practice.On one of the smaller podiums that were closer to the main entrance, and where the crazed disciples were crowding around, a youth dressed in white scholar robes was there sitting in a lotus position.He gave off a gentle and refined temperament that would make him stand out in any crowd. One striking feature of this youth that one would immediately notice upon looking at him was that his left pupil was blue while his right pupil was golden.Coupled with his shoulder-length ash-brown hair and his smooth pale white skin, he gave people the sense of being odd. But this oddness was like
Looking at his brother with an annoyed expression, Longwei ignored the question and instead said."Twin or not, I'm still the older brother so it's only right for you to address me as such.""I'll call you elder brother when you’re on our deathbed, consider it a parting gift."Longmin's instant rebuttal caused Longwei to become speechless.His tone was filled with so much cheekiness you wouldn’t believe he was still smiling all warmly as he said it.Narrowing his eyes, Longwei locked his gaze with a smiling Longmin. Suddenly, his hand slammed on the chair’s armrest.Slap! Boom! Whoosh!The chair he was leisurely sitting on was slapped to pieces, giving him the momentum to leap off the edge of the booth into the air.The crowd below looked up to see Longwei's dragon-like figure soar across a distance of eighty meters to arrive above the stage. With the sun behind him, everyone could only make out his silhouette.While still floating in the air from the inertia, Longwei placed his palms
About sixty feet away from the stage, the disciple saw another Longmin standing there in his white scholar's robes.However, his refine and scholarly air was gone and his calm smile was replaced by an ice-cold expression.The disciples immediately did a double-take before they turn to look back at where Longmin had been sitting only to see the image of Longmin fading away. They did a triple take as their eyes started to widen in amazement.Longmin had moved so far a distance with such speed that an afterimage was created, thus causing the misconception of him being pierced through by the three Sword Qi."You actually infused Sword Qi into the palm. What if I wasn’t able to dodge in time, what would you have done?!"Longmin yelled while his body started to tremble from anger.Longwei, however, just smiled and nonchalantly said."What are you so angry about? At most you'd only get a scratch.""Bullshit!!"Longwei's words immediately provoked the refined and scholarly Longmin to the poin
When Longwei's hand had come in contact with the illusory Longmin he had felt faint fluctuations of what he thought was Spiritual Sense. But by the time he wanted to dodge, a rune had appeared below his feet trapping him in place.Longwei was a bit skeptical, how could this brother of his use Spiritual Sense when he was only in the Foundation Realm? And the early stage at that! He should be working on developing his Spiritual Strength just like him.Spiritual Sense was something only Core Formation cultivators had, compared to a Foundation cultivator’s Spiritual Strength it's a hundred times better!Spiritual Strength was inferior because unless there was a medium it can't leave the body. For example, a blacksmith at the Foundation Realm can send his Spiritual Strength into a piece of metal and understand its structure to create a better weapon, but even then, his understanding of its inner structure will be blurry and unclear.However, with a Core Formation's Spiritual Sense not only
With a loud thud, Longwei was dropped butt-first onto the stage.He let out a muffled whimper as his sore butt made contact with the reinforced concrete.His face had also turned pale white and a few tears were seen in the corner of his eyes.Crawling up on all four, he gave a hateful stare towards Longmin who in turn just smiles at him apologetically.Suddenly, another voice echoed above the stage."Wei'er, come see me in the Ancestral hall."When Longmin heard that voice a complicated emotion flashed past his blue and gold pupils, but his smiling expression didn't change.Longwei grunted before struggling up fully and walking as a penguin would off the stage.His butt was in excruciating pain. A sort of fire was in his chest at being humiliated by that old fart, but he had nowhere to vent. He could only suck it up.However, Longwei's eyes suddenly landed on a young man that was trying his best to blend in with the crowd.When Longwei came close to the main entrance of the training g
“Sixty million mid-grade Spirit Stones!!”Bao’s frustrated voice echoed across the deathly silent Auction House. Looking at his face one could see that it was extremely red, and it seemed as if his chest was about to burst from how hard he was breathing.Everyone became dumbfounded when they heard such an absurd number of Spirit Stones. All eyes stared at the booth Zen Chi was in wondering if he would continue to bid, but only silence permeated the Auction House.Old man Fen's voice then spoke up, “Sixty million mid-grade Spirit Stones going once!… Sixty million mid-grade Spirit Stones going twice!… does anyone want to bid any higher?”When the crowd below heard old man Fen's question, they were looking at him as if he had grown two more heads.Seeing the crowd's gaze directed to him, old man Fen chuckled to himself.“Congratulations to the Crown Prince for obtaining the coffin of the 118th prince of the Eternal Darkness Clan for sixty million mid-grade Spirit Stones. It’s very fittin
Hearing the question directed at him, old man Fen nodded his head before saying, “We have indeed found their Ancestral Tomb. And as some of you might know, our Divine Merchant Guild is owned by the Fang Immortal Clan on planet Lin. Due to our discovery of the Tomb, in order to not cause any major conflict over it we have made an agreement with the other Immortal Clans to auction off the treasures inside in this year’s main event auction. So this announcement isn’t just being re-laid here, it’s currently being announced across all the other planets at our auctions that are occurring ruffly at the same time. And just like now…”Old man Fen pointed at the coffin and then continued, “They’ve also received one of these coffins and are making the announcement the same way I am. Maybe they even have another old man Fen making the announcement too.”Old man Fen then chuckled to himself after he made that joke.In the crowd, the expressions on everyone’s faces became more and more shocked each
Even though Long Wei had not said his name that loudly, Zhen Chi seemed to hear it since his head instantly turned to look in the direction of their booth.Seeing Long Wei and the others, Zen Chi flash a smile in their direction before he followed the attendant which led him to a VIP booth that was coincidentally next to theirs, albeit a little lower in position.Their booth was one of the few that was on the top floor, all the other VIP booths were on a lower level.Both Li Fang and Bao had also taken notice of Zen Chi’s appearance. Li Fang was heard saying, “It looks like Zen Chi had taken an interest in this auction.”Long Wei snorted upon hearing that then said, “What is he doing here? Wasn’t he supposed to be sending a challenge to that demoness? Can he afford to waste time attending this auction?”Bao who was silent had a thoughtful full expression on his face before he slowly said, “The Divine Merchant Guild always holds this smaller auction before their main event. This smalle
The disciples from the Blood Continent just have too bad of a reputation and no one wanted to be associated with them or be in an area where there was a possibility of encountering one of those cold-blooded savages.With a significant number of the crowd leaving, the people who hadn’t heard the news became confused, but once they were told each and every one of them scrunched up their faces before quickly leaving the area.But even so, there were quite a few of them that stayed as they were unwilling to miss an opportunity such as this to see so many geniuses gathered in one place.On the first day of the four-day auction, they prayed that maybe those from the Blood Continent wouldn’t appear until the latter days.As that was happening among the crowd, a swooshing sound suddenly echoed in the distant horizon, and the people in the crowd looked towards it, only to stare wide-eyed in astonishment as a large and majestic phoenix made of pure fire approached this area at blind speed.In o
The Divine Merchant Guild Auction was the biggest auction held on the Central Continent by the well-known Divine Merchant Guild.They are one of, if not the biggest suppliers of cultivation resources on not only the Central Continent but the entire planet Daiyu. Wait no! That’s not right either, they’re actually the biggest supplier of cultivation resources between all of the four planets in this Lower Realm.Rumors say that they are owned by a powerful Clan on planet Lin that goes by the name of the Fang Clan.For some people, it was really hard to believe that a force that spans an entire Lower Realm was owned by one clan, but if you were to believe further rumors which stated that their Founding Ancestor was an Immortal, then the fact that they have such wealth and power to stretch an entire Realm wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility.Powerful clans like them were known as Immortal Clans, and there were quite a few of those Immortal Clans stationed on the planet Lin, making
When Long Wei heard that his face scrunched up in confusion before he asked again, “Why does the second prince of the Xingyun Dynasty live in an isolated pavilion in the guest quarters when he visits? Isn’t he supposed to have a courtyard for himself somewhere else?”The servant still had to listen carefully to understand Long Wei’s slurred words, but he managed to understand and his face was covered in hesitation, before he slowly said, “Um.. honored guest, it was the second prince’s choice to have this arrangement.”With a frown still on his face, Long Wei asked again, “Why?”Hearing his question, the servant became even more hesitant and a little nervous as well. As a servant, he didn’t want to speak about the matters involving the second prince, but he didn’t want to offend this guest by not answering either.Just as the servant was wondering what to do, a cold voice suddenly spoke from behind them.“Because I don't like to be bothered and this place is peaceful and quiet...”When
After a while, Long Wei completely emptied the cup before he slammed it down on the table.He then turn to look at Longmin, who in turn also looked towards him.Without saying anything Long Wei nodded his head, and then turn to Bao and Li Fang who were conversing, and said, “Well, it wasn’t a pleasure seeing you both, so my brother and I will take our leave now.”Longmin had already begun getting up with Long Wei following behind him.Bao upon hearing Long Wei’s words turned to look at him.He then thought to himself.‘Father had probably intended for me to accompany them to buy time for the news to reach the Wu Clan's ears.’With that thought in mind, Bao suddenly spoke up and said to the two brothers, “Are you both planning on leaving the Continent?”Long Wei paused his steps and turn to answer Bao, “No, actually we only came here to settle some personal matters, but that had already been solved so we're just going on a sightseeing tour of your continent.”Hearing that, Bao perked u
Coughing for a moment, Bao then looked at Longmin’s rather handsome appearance, which Bao was quite unwilling to admit was better than his own, before looking at Long Wei’s simple and average face.He knew that Long Wei was always wearing his disguises and he had never seen his true appearance even till now, but since Li Fang said both he and Longmin were twins, he couldn’t help but feel a bit strange knowing Long Wei had always looked better than him, he just felt the news to be too sudden.Long Wei was looking at Li Fang with slight surprise, while Longmin took the words out of his mouth by asking the question, “How did you see through elder brother’s disguise?”“Oh, so this brat’s the older twin, no wonder he’s so annoying.”After not seeing this bastard for nearly three years, Long Wei had completely forgotten his hatred for Li Fang, but meeting him now, the hatred he once felt was slowly coming back.This got him thinking about how he had first met Li Fang when he was on a debauc
After being shocked for a moment, Li Fang finally regain his composure and pulled his grip from Longmin’s hold.“It’s the first time someone has discovered me when I use my concealment ability.”Bao looked at Li Fang and said in a perplexed tone.“Junior brother Fang I didn’t know you had such abilities. Were you hiding it all this time?”Li Fang smiled and began walking around the table to sit on the empty side. After sitting Li Fang poured himself a cup of tea while saying.“You guys weren’t the only ones that were improving over the past few years. And as for my concealment ability, well, Sying Mu and Yuyan is not the only one who had tapped into their Legendary Physique.”Soon after Li Fang finished saying that, Long Wei scowled at him and said, “How long were you listening to us? And who do think you are trying to sneak attack me from behind, you perverted bastard!”Unfazed by Long Wei's harsh words, Li Fang casually took a sip from his tea before he said, “Stop being so dramatic
