Ascension of The Unholy Immortal-Chapter 309: Hidden Implications
Liang’s smile vanished in an instant, his previously warm expression hardening, "Why don’t you just come out and say what you’re really thinking, senior brother? No need for this boring game."
Tian Shu’s demeanor shifted decisively, the lightness of earlier fading into a gravity. "Brother Liang, what are your plans for ascension?"
The question hung heavy in the air, an echo of previous conversations. Liang’s eyes narrowed, the flicker of annoyance barely masked by a façade of contemplation. Deep within, a mix of uncertainty and ambition churned, but he held his thoughts close, unwilling to reveal too much.
Tian Shu raised an eyebrow, a hint of impatience breaking through. "There’s no need to ponder so deeply; our choices are limited."
He continued, his voice taking on a grave tone, "Right now, the origin domain is engulfed in chaos. It’s not just any conflict; it’s a high-stakes battle among the realm’s top-tier experts."
The weight of his words pressed upon the air, darkening the mood between them. "Forget about seeking out opportunities," his eyes turning icy with concern. "A shockwave from one of those titans could obliterate you in an instant. Venturing there would be nothing short of courting death."
Liang listened intently, nodding inwardly as Tian Shu elaborated on the complex situation in the Origin Domain. He had already formed a rough picture of the situation in the Origin Domain, so Tian Shu’s revelations didn’t come as a shock.
Tian Shu shook his head, his expression growing grave. "As for the Empyrean Domain, it’s even worse. The entire realm is engulfed in a grotesque war involving Demons, Devils, and Humans."
Liang raised an eyebrow, a hint of skepticism flickering in his gaze. "That sounds bleak."
"Bleak is an understatement," Tian Shu continued, "Forget about cultivating there. You could easily find yourself on the wrong side of the battlefield. Death would ironically be the best-case scenario." He paused for a while, a chilling smile creeping onto his face. "Even if you managed to land in Human territory, you might be mistaken for a demon spy and executed on the spot."
Liang’s brow furrowed as he absorbed the weight of Tian Shu’s words. "Furthermore, the power scale there far surpasses the Origin Domain,"
Liang narrowed his eyes, maintaining a facade of calmness, though a jolt of surprise rippled through him. The implications of this new information were staggering.
"While not everything you say could be entirely accurate..." Liang murmured, trailing off as he contemplated the possibilities.
"It looks like you haven’t given much thought to either of those realms, have you?" Tian Shu observed, a knowing look crossing his face.
"Oh?" Liang’s eyes sparkled with mischief. "And what if I haven’t?"
His tone dripped with mockery, though it veiled a more serious contemplation of their conversation.
Tian Shu erupted into laughter, a rich sound that echoed like the clanging of metal. "Brother Liang, do you genuinely believe that those who have traversed the Light Crossing Road are merely peak Void Return Realm cultivators?"
"And if I am?" Liang shrugged indifferently, feigning disinterest.
"Then, your information is outdated," Tian Shu chuckled again, amusement lighting his features. "When the founder set out for the Primordial Sea Realm, he was already renowned across both the Origin and Empyrean Domains!"
"What?" Liang’s eyes widened in disbelief, a flicker of surprise crossing his features.
What does this mean?
But as quickly as the shock settled in, he regained his composure, his tone now measured as he asked, "Are you saying he has already been to both domains first?"
Tian Shu nodded slowly, his gaze shifting skyward, where the pale blue began to deepen into twilight." Yin Yang Harmony Temple? It’s more complex than it seems at first glance."
Liang crossed his arms, his expression hardening. "Let’s say you’re right about this. So what? At worst, I’ll head to the Origin Domain and take my chances."
Tian Shu smiled, a playful gleam in his eyes. "That’s exactly what I want to discuss with you."
Liang raised an eyebrow, already sensing there was more to this conversation than met the eye. Curiosity piqued. "Go on."
"There’s actually an alternative option," Tian Shu began, his tone serious. "Not many people are aware of it, but it exists."
"Oh? A fourth option?" Liang’s interest was abruptly ignited, his heart racing with this unexpected revelation. It was the first he’d heard of such a possibility.
"You’re still not a core member of the clan," Tian Shu explained, as if reading his mind. "There are many high-level secrets you wouldn’t be privy to."
Liang nodded in acknowledgment, aware that the layers of clan secrets ran deep. There were undoubtedly many high-class mysteries of which he remained blissfully unaware.
"This other realm is called the Immortal God Realm."
"Immortal God Realm?" Liang asked, narrowing his eyes in skepticism. It was the first time he had encountered such a concept, and a wave of doubt washed over him.
It’s not merely an ordinary realm," Dong Tian Shu replied, his tone steady and composed. "You might consider it a pseudo domain."
"Pseudo domain?" The concept sounded foreign to Liang, leaving him even more perplexed.
"This pseudo domain isn’t a natural creation," Dong continued, his gaze unwavering. "It was forged by the combined might of ten supreme experts. In the Immortal God Relam, they are revered as the Ten Supreme Gods."
Liang paused, thoughts racing as he considered the implications. "Let’s assume for a moment that what you say is true. What then makes this Immortal God Relam so extraordinary?"
Dong Tian Shu smiled slightly, sensing Liang’s lingering doubt. "It’s actually quite straightforward. The power scale within this realm is significantly lower than that of the Origin Domain. The pinnacle there caps at the peak of Divine Ignition."
"Divine Ignition," Liang murmured, his eyes flickering with recognition.
In the ancient cultivation system of the bygone epoch , three key stages define the path to immortality: Spirit Birth, Divine Ignition, and Immortal Crossing.
Spirit Birth, the initial stage, unfolded across six profound realms. Divine Ignition followed with four ethereal realms, while Immortal Crossing ascended through three transcendent realms.
Legend attributes the creation of this system to the Immortal Divine Savorgion, the primordial ancestor of Immortals.
Its significance is highlighted in an ancient text that captures the essence of his transformative journey:
"Awakening at dawn, nurturing spirits at twilight, igniting divinity within a year, and transcending to immortality within a century."
If what Dong Tian Shu was saying held any truth, then the so-called Immortal God Realm would indeed be the best option for him.

A sudden thought flickered through Liang’s mind, causing his expression to shift dramatically. "Immortal God Realm, Origin Domain, Empyrean Domain... then the Primordial Sea."
He cast a more scrutinizing glance at Tian Shu, this time serious and contemplative. The information shared seemed trivial on the surface, but he sensed its profound implications.
"What’s your motive?" Liang’s voice was steady, yet curious. Three simple words laden with suspicion.
Tian Shu’s eyes glimmered with contemplation as he regarded Liang seriously. "Although desire fuels the heart, often the hand remains short."
He paused, "The Immortal God Realm doesn’t have a fixed location; it drifts through the void like a wandering star. There’s only one opportunity to access it, but I cannot do this alone. I need a partner."
Liang’s brow furrowed. "So? Why choose me?"
Tian Shu shook his head, a hint of regret flickering across his expression. "I’m afraid I cannot disclose that. It’s tied to a secret within my cultivation technique."
Silence enveloped them for a moment as Liang pondered the implications of this partnership. His mind raced through the possibilities, Moments passed before he finally spoke, "When?"
The spark in Tian Shu’s eyes revealed his surprise. Yet, he quickly masked it, gathering his composure. "It won’t be long—just one thousand years."
Instantly, Liang’s expression darkened, disbelief etched across his features. "What kind of joke is this, Brother Tian? Are you trying to waste my time?"
