The disturbance caused by True Monarch Yimiao's arrival affected not only the Ziwei Chen Family.

Anyway, after True Monarch Yimiao was invited to the Celestial Saint Palace, True Monarch Tihu, who was responsible for welcoming her, looked quite displeased.

"Hmm, Little Tihu, why is it you who came? Where is your master? Why didn't he come out to see me?"

"Senior Yimiao is jesting. Tihu has already prepared a feast in the Flying Immortal Hall. I hope Senior will grace us with her presence."

Hmm, how should I put it?

When True Monarch Yimiao arrived at Flying Immortal Peak, it truly felt like returning home.

The one who came out to greet her was the younger True Monarch Tihu, surrounded by the disciples of the Celestial Saint Palace. The carved beams and painted pillars here hadn't changed much in hundreds to thousands of years, feeling almost the same as when she last visited over a century ago.

No pressure.

Even quite comfortable.

Especially the fiery gazes of the young male disciples of the Celestial Saint Palace when they looked at her, giving Yimiao a sense of attentiveness, and even a slight feeling of embarrassment arose in her heart.

As she and True Monarch Tihu walked into the Flying Immortal Hall, with only Qin Zhenzheng left to 'serve as maid,' Yimiao raised Qin Zhenzheng's chin with a smile and then spoke: "It's better to be out and about. Previously, beside Celestial Lake, when the young disciples saw me, their legs couldn't stand straight, and they shivered all over as if I were some frightening monster."

You think you aren't?

Ignoring Qin Zhenzheng's small look of 'Master Ancestor, please come to my rescue,' True Monarch Tihu calmly held the long sword at her waist and said, "Since Senior Yimiao says so, why not take a short rest of several decades at the Celestial Saint Palace? In recent years, there have been many questions about cultivation in the palace's Hundred Veins, just right to consult with Senior."

"Oh?" Upon hearing Tihu's words, Yimiao finally released Qin Zhenzheng's chin and turned her head, looking at Tihu with an expectant gaze: "Almost a hundred and seventy years have passed. I wonder how many of the Hundred Veins cultivators we gathered back then are still around?"

"Seventeen."

"Any who have obtained Golden Nature?"

"Three people."

"This ratio...."

Master Yimiao's beautiful thin eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Out of one thousand one hundred and seventy people, only three acquired Golden Nature. It seems this project can be declared a failure."

Tihu remained silent.

The Hundred Veins refer to the great purge conducted a hundred and seventy years ago, led by the Daluo Taoist Lands, affecting various noble families, sects, and loose cultivators throughout the realm. From the purged crowd, one thousand one hundred and seventy Nirvana and Peak Realm experts were selected and brought into the 'Hundred Veins Academy' of the Celestial Saint Palace, given sufficient resources and the Longevity Taoist Technique, forcing them to retreat and cultivate within the palace.

Forcibly making them cultivate!

Just to obtain Golden Nature!

One hundred and seventy years ago was when the Sikong family's ten Peak Realm presided over Si State. Because the power shown by some noble families including the Sikong family was too strong, the Three Great Sacred Lands allied with other noble families to suppress them.

After the plan, strong as the Sikong family was, the ten Peaks were reduced to two, and one of them passed away thirty years later, causing the Sikong family to decline to a point where only one Peak could support the family front.

Of course, the framework didn't change.

Noble Families remained Noble Families.

In this matter, the Three Great Sacred Lands were not entirely ruthless; their aim was not to kill these elite Peak and Nirvana Realm cultivators, but to bring them into the Celestial Saint Palace to cultivate and consume a heaven-defying elixir named 'Three-month Li,' boosting the cultivation speed and law understanding of these over a thousand cultivators threefold.

In theory, this didn't seem to be a bad thing.

But in the world, there's always a trade-off; as an elixir that can enhance a cultivator's cultivation speed, the side effect of Three-month Li is burning the cultivator's life span.

Now, just over a hundred years later, of the original one thousand one hundred and seventy who consumed Three-month Li, only one hundred and thirty-four are still cultivating within the Celestial Saint Palace. The rest either demonized and died on the path of breakthrough, or their life was burnt out by Three-month Li, leading to their burial. Only three acquired Golden Nature and managed to negate the effects of Three-month Li, yet even they suffered great loss of lifespan, with the longest living one barely able to live for another eight hundred years.

In other words, one hundred and seventy years ago, the Three Great Sacred Lands took in eighty percent of the world's elite into the Celestial Saint Palace, only to forcibly mature three Longevity True Monarchs!

Hmm, this was also facilitated by True Monarch Yimiao.

From the perspective of the Profound Celestial Realm, this trade was a blood loss, but for the Three Great Sacred Lands, it suppressed the East Continent Sect and noble families while completing an experiment, making it a double win.

Currently, with Master Yimiao at the Celestial Saint Palace and personally declaring the 'project failed,' it signifies the conclusion of this experiment.

As for the fate of the remaining one hundred and thirty-four short-lived Peak cultivators?

True Monarch Tihu's purpose in speaking out was precisely for this.

"Right now coincides with the time of Descent, and coincidentally with Senior Yimiao's arrival, Tihu believes, rather than letting the remaining seventeen veins continue burning through their lifespan, it's better to place them into the Cosmic Realm... This matter has already received the master's approval. What are your intentions, Senior Yimiao?"

"Place them into the Cosmic Realm, then."

With an alluring posture reclining on the long chair at the main seat of the Flying Immortal Palace, Master Yimiao peeled open an Exquisite Fruit, gazing at the rotating vibrant colors within the fruit flesh for a moment, then calmly said: "Since your master agrees, I must give him face, but let me say first, this time the placement can only be conducted via the time-space crevices of the East Continent."
