Chapter 97 - The True Immortal!

At the heart of the Lan Clan's forbidden area, there was Spirit Mountain — the sacred mountain that could be considered the Lan Clan's most precious wealth, resting atop a powerful Spirit Vein.

The mountain is abundant with an exceptionally dense concentration of Heaven and Earth's Spiritual Qi, rivaling even the central region of the Metal Flow Plain. Over time, countless natural treasures gradually formed within its depths, nurtured by this rich environment.

Without a doubt, such a place was a haven for cultivators, offering endless benefits for their cultivation.

At the peak of Spirit Mountain, it was now more crowded than usual. There were 15 individuals present; they were the top experts of the Lan Clan, with the lowest cultivation realm among them being that of a Tribulation Saint cultivator.

The Lan Clan was considered a newly established second-rate force compared to the age of the realm itself; they were a relatively young faction.

They were also considered one of the weakest among the 12 second-rate forces due to the low number of peak cultivation realm cultivators — excluding True Immortals, who were Transcendental Mortality cultivators and False Immortals.

The False Immortals were not actually a cultivation realm by itself, but rather a term used to refer to cultivators who had achieved the peak stage of the Transcendental Mortality cultivation realm.

At the peak stage, a Transcendental Mortality cultivator's Immortal Body would be formed, granting them immortality by removing any limits to their physical lifespan.

However, unlike True Immortals, False Immortals still possessed a mortal soul. Because of this, they could technically only live up to around 100 million years before their mortal soul would be exhausted by time, leading to their demise.

Among the 15 Lan Clan experts present, there were 10 Tribulation Saints, 4 Transcendental Mortality cultivators, and 1 False Immortal.

Lan Tianyuan, the Lan Clan patriarch, was also present among the Tribulation Saint cultivators.

The four Transcendental Mortality cultivators present were not strangers; they were Lan Tianyuan's brothers and sisters, who were a hundred thousand years older than him. This age gap was due to Lan Wangtian's dedication to quickly populating the Clan with new blood.

As a result, Lan Wangtian had more than a thousand wives and countless children. Lan Tianyuan was considered one of the new generation and among the most talented of Lan Wangtian's children.

Among the other Tribulation Saints present, two were also Lan Tianyuan's half-siblings, while the rest were either Lan Tianyuan's siblings' descendants or individuals from another lineage who came from the same sect as Lan Wangtian.

Momentarily, they were examining the Dao Throne that Lan Wangtian had prepared for the Dao attainment ceremony. They were studying it since they might have to build one themselves one day.

The Dao Throne was an ethereal throne built from treasure and the cultivator's own Dao Essence combined, representing the Dao supremacy of the cultivator's chosen Dao.

Lan Wangtian's Dao Throne appeared to be a majestic wooden throne, assembled from numerous wooden sword artifacts and decorated with various treasures.

The throne itself emitted an aura of powerful Dao Essence, and if it were not used as the Dao Throne, it could easily be considered a potent False Immortal artifact.

"It's time," Lan Wangtian said, opening his eyes as his state of mind reached perfect condition.

The other Lan Clan experts stopped their examination and stepped back. They nodded to Lan Wangtian before flying to the clan's residential area, as their mission was not to guard Lan Wangtian but to protect their Clan.

The duty to guard Lan Wangtian had already fallen into someone else's hands…

Lan Wangtian was now alone within the massive Spirit Mountain. He brought out the Wooden Sword, the Lan Clan's Qi Luck artifact.

It was the wooden sword he had used when he was young. He held it tightly before inserting the wooden sword into the Dao throne to complete it.

He already decided to link Lan Clan Qi Luck to his own which will boost his success rate of Dao attainment.

However, by doing this if he fails Lan Clan would fail along with him.

But it doesn't matter because they were already in a rise-or-die situation in the first place.

He sat on the Dao Throne and unleashed his Dao Domain, meditating to harmonize his Dao Heart with the Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The Dao Throne and Dao Domain began to resonate with each other, causing the atmosphere to shift as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi reacted to his Will.

To become a True Immortal, there is no more Tribulation. They need only to prove to Heaven that they and their Dao are worthy of True immortality.

There is no room to fail, no second chance, and failure to attain the Dao only results in death.

With all resolve, Lan Wangtian summoned the Heavenly Dao!

The Heavenly Dao answered.

RUMBLE!!

Thunder roared.

The skies split apart, and golden clouds with a purple shade began to appear, forming a swirling vortex above the sky.

A moment later, one figure appeared not far from the Lan Clan scared mountain.

The old man in the purple robe, the False Immortal of the Thunderclap Blade sect!

"Hah… As expected." The old man in the purple robe sneered, his sharp gaze fixed on the sacred mountain.

The Thunderclap Blade Sect had already expected someone to use this chaotic situation to change their status quo, and this was not allowed.

They already prepare methods to exterminate those who dare to oppose them In a time like this.

The old man raised his hand, intending to disrupt the Dao attainment ceremony before the Heavenly Dao descended.

However, three figures appeared before him. The old man narrowed his eyes as he recognized them — three False Immortals from other factions.

"What do you think you're doing? Are you planning to fall along with this Lan Clan?" the old man said, his tone cold.

"We are not the ones who will fall, but you are. Your sect's tyrannical reign will end soon," Wang Di replied, drawing his sword.

The other two False Immortals were from the Hua Clan and Qian Clan, third-rate forces located in the Lower Plains outside the Metal Flow Plains territory.

The old man couldn't understand why they stood against him for the benefit of others, but he didn't care.

He waved his hand, and an army of Tribulation Saints and Transcendental Mortality cultivators appeared not far from the Lan Clan's residence.

The army was composed of more than a thousand Saints and ten Transcendents. This was the foundation of a first-rate sect that had stood for more than one hundred million years.

This was entirely another level of foundation compared to second and third-rate factions.

The three False Immortals felt a chill run down their spines. Even though they knew the difference in power, they couldn't help but be shocked by the scene.

Let alone the fact that this was only a small part of the sect's true force, as their main forces were now fighting the war with the Golden Sword sect's army in the center of the region.

"LAN WANGTIAN, IF YOU DON'T STOP YOUR ACT, YOUR ENTIRE CLAN WILL FALL ALONG WITH YOU!" the old man shouted, his voice echoing across the entire mountain as he intended to weaken Lan Wangtian's state of mind. hoping he would fail to call upon the Heavenly Dao.

However, the old man started to notice the sky above Spirit Mountain shifting rapidly, as if the Heavenly Dao would be descending soon. Then, he realized that Lan Wangtian was using the Qi Luck link method to attain the Dao.

"ATTACK! KILL ALL LAN CLAN MEMBERS! DON'T LEAVE ANYONE ALIVE!" the old man roared, discovering that the Lan Clan's Qi Luck was shining far brighter than what a normal second-rate sect should possess. They had hidden it well!

Hearing the old man's command, the Thunderclap Blade Sect's army moved toward the Lan Clan residence.

Slaughtering Lan Clan members would result in Qi Luck weakening, eventually reducing Lan Wangtian's chances of succeeding in his Dao attainment.

Then the old man moves toward the Spirit Mountian to disrupt the ceremony before The Heavenly Dao descends.

Three False Immortals came to intercept and stop the old man's action, then the fighting began.

However, just thirty minutes after the fight began, an enormous pressure descended from above Spirit Mountain, causing the fight to pause immediately.

The old man's expression was one of shock as he looked up and saw a massive golden eye in the sky, surrounded by golden clouds — The Heavenly Dao Eye!

'Impossible! It was too fast!' the old man thought, unable to understand how the ceremony could progress so quickly.

Usually, it would take a day, and even using the faction's Qi Luck to attain the Dao should not have made it this fast.

The Heavenly Dao Eye enveloped the Heavenly Dao Essence surrounding Lan Wangtian, who sat on the throne like an emperor. The Dao Throne fused into the Dao Domain, creating the Dao Palace — the Inner World, a realm constructed by the True Immortal's Dao as the core.

The existence of the Dao Palace elevated Lan Wangtian's entire existence to another level equal to that of the Universe.

Finally, the Dharma Body — Lan Wangtian's Dao Avatar appeared above him, uttering its Dao Title to the Heavens.

This was the sight of Dao Attainment succeeding!

The old man quickly grabbed the Transcendents and attempted to flee, realizing there was nothing more he could do.

However, before he could reach his sect's territory, he was grabbed by a giant hand. He looked in horror.

"I remember you. You were there at that time..." Lan Wangtian's tone was filled with both nostalgia and vengeance.

Lan Wangtian destroyed the old man and the ten Transcendents' bodies and souls immediately before his eyes shifted to the Thunderclap Blade Sect's location.
