The Immortal Emperor defends the nation's gates!

These five words resonate like a battle cry infused with an unparalleled will and undying spirit.

As the Mystic Sky Immortal Realm was lifted with supreme power by Gu Qingfeng and boldly moved to the frontline of the borders, the news, akin to a cosmic storm, swept through every corner of the Human Clan's territory in an instant.

Wherever the news reached, it was like a massive stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up tempestuous waves and endless ripples.

Many ancient elders, who usually secluded themselves in meditation and cared little for worldly matters, were startled, casting their gaze towards the location of the Mystic Sky Immortal Realm.

"The Immortal Emperor defends the nation's gates! Since the Evil God Clan began their havoc upon the heavens and the Human Clan suffered such persecution, the Endless Immortal Domain has not seen a Heavenly Venerate daring to brandish their sword in countless eras!"

"The chaos caused by the Evil Gods, the massacre of living beings, deserves annihilation!

The Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty's repeated blunt of the Evil God's edge and now guarding the nation's gates with the Immortal Domain to uplift our clan's prestige is a righteous act that deserves great celebration!"

Soon, several of these ancient Heavenly Venerates resolutely stepped out directly from their Taoist Palace Immortal Mansions, where they had secluded for countless millennia, and journeyed across the starry seas towards the Mystic Sky Immortal Realm.

Since a Human Clan force dared to declare war against the Evil God Clan, how could these old fellows, who prided themselves as the backbone of the Human Clan, retreat to the rear and sit idly by?

Even if their strength is limited, they should still go forth to lend a hand, putting in effort for the future of the Human Clan.

Indeed, after stepping into the Heavenly Venerate Realm and enjoying longevity, many powerful figures' mindsets have changed.

They tend to prioritize self-preservation, focusing on pursuing higher realms, unwilling to fight the Evil God Clan to death for the sake of ordinary living beings like ants, so as not to unwittingly entangle themselves in karmic ties and deplete their strength.

However, in the Human Clan's millennia of heritage, there is no lack of hot blood and staunch spirit within their veins.

There have always been some Heavenly Venerates who see revitalizing the Human Clan and resisting foreign aggression as their duty; they cannot bear to watch their kin enslaved and slaughtered, or see the flame of civilization dim under the Evil God's corrosion.

Yet, over the years, the Human Clan as a whole has weakened, beset by internal troubles and external threats, which is not something the will and power of one or two Heavenly Venerates could overturn.

Thus, many Heavenly Venerates who harbored such aspirations, after repeatedly trying and repeatedly failing, seeing the plight of their kin and powerless to change it, inevitably became disheartened and finally chose to seal their gates, immersing themselves in cultivation, keeping their eyes closed to the world's disputes for peace of mind.

But now.

The powerful rise of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty is like casting a blazing star into a pool of dead water, instantly reigniting the almost extinguished battle will and hot blood in these ancient Heavenly Venerates' hearts.

Hope!

They saw hope!

How could they not be moved?

So, without delay, they rushed towards the Mystic Sky Immortal Realm at once.

In less than a century.

Dozens of ancient Heavenly Venerates with profound auras and deep foundations, the weakest of whom were at the Five Tribulations Heavenly Venerate level, successively arrived at the Mystic Sky Immortal Realm, formally joining the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty and becoming the dynasty's tributes.

The strongest among them had already one step into the Seven Tribulations Heavenly Venerable Realm.

With this new force joining, the number of tributes established in the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty's Sacrificial Hall had exceeded one hundred and eighty-six.

This also means that at least one hundred and eighty-six Heavenly Venerate level strong existences are willing to be associated with the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, to serve it, and to heed its call at critical moments.

Of course.

It must be made clear that such a force is merely a part of the extensive Heavenly Venerate group within the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty.

Currently, the entire Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty comprises over one thousand Heavenly Venerates.

These over one thousand Heavenly Venerates are the true backbone and ruling foundation of the dynasty. They are scattered throughout the four-hundred-and-fifty thousand Immortal Domains, either guarding a region or commanding armies, maintaining the operation of this colossal machine that is the Immortal Dynasty.

The so-called tributes, more often than not, carry the banner of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, enjoying certain resources and protection provided by the dynasty, with little need to engage in specific governmental affairs, allowing them to cultivate and pursue the Great Tao in peace.

It is only when the dynasty faces large-scale wars or other significant crises that these tributes are summoned to lend their aid.

This is a flexible and efficient cooperation model that can enhance the reserve of high-end battle power for the dynasty without excessively interfering with the tributes' freedom, attracting many Loose Cultivator strong individuals unwilling to be entangled in secular affairs but willing to contribute to the Human Clan.

Regarding these matters, Gu Qingfeng had long since entrusted them entirely to Crown Prince Gu Yang to handle.

While Gu Qingfeng himself, after completing the relocation of the capital, had refocused his attention on closed-door cultivation.

Stepping into the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Venerable Realm, for most Heavenly Venerates, already marks reaching the end of the cultivation road, with almost a hopeless cliff ahead.

The possibility of advancing further to glimpse the fabled Immortal Realm is virtually non-existent, with a probability close to zero.

In fact.

Merely successfully breaking through to the Nine Tribulation level has already screened and eliminated over ninety-nine percent of Heavenly Venerates.

The vast majority of Heavenly Venerates, throughout their long lifespan, never have the opportunity to touch the threshold of Nine Tribulations.

Even those fortunate enough to step into the Nine Tribulations Realm often struggle to make further breakthroughs, trapped at this peak until eternity.

Nine Tribulations seem like an insurmountable natural moat.

But for Gu Qingfeng, Nine Tribulations is merely a new beginning, a solid step towards a higher pinnacle.

His goal.

Has never been limited to the Heavenly Venerate Realm.

From the outset, his sights were set on the Immortal Realm.

And as he came to understand the mystique of the Immortal, realizing that beyond Immortality, there exists the Immortal Twelve Realms, and even the legendary Realm of Transcendence said to be unrivaled throughout history, Gu Qingfeng's goals naturally transformed.
