In an endless wilderness,
powerful figures stood tall.
The Ancient Immortal Path had opened.
Various factions gathered together.
The Three Major Sects, along with their disciples, had long awaited this moment.
The Ancient Immortal Path, also known as the Ancient Immortal Path, I, Qin Tian, have arrived!
It was a lost continent from the Ancient Era.
According to legends, in an era so distant that it could not be traced,
numerous clans and countless exceptionally gifted Ancestors underwent endless trials there.
Among them, the outstanding ones were able to enter the Celestial Gate.
When one person attained enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs would rise to greatness.
Thus, it earned the name Ancient Immortal Path, I, Qin Tian, have arrived!
After the Primeval Era and the Celestial King War, this continent was lost. It wasn't until tens of thousands of years later that the various clans of Tian Nan discovered it. Thus, the Ancient Immortal Path was reopened.
This continent is hidden in a corner of the void, and its exact location remains unknown to anyone. As a result, the powerful figures from the Southern Three Great Sects have specifically established Spatial Nodes in various locations to access the Ancient Immortal Path.
Creating these Spatial Nodes requires immense resources. Therefore, in some remote and weaker areas, it is simply impossible to expend too many resources on their creation. Consequently, the number of people who can be transmitted through these nodes is strictly controlled.
Aside from a few massive Spatial Nodes in Southern Land, the situation is similar in all other places.
This is also the reason why, at the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, only one person from the Three Major Sects can step onto the Immortal Path every three years.
In an even more expansive area, there are more powerful Spatial Nodes.
Some of them can even transport dozens of people.
Qin Tian woke up early in the morning, finished his grooming, and bid farewell to Fourth Brother.
After that, accompanied by Sect Master Qiyun Hai, he arrived at the Spatial Node in the territory of the Three Great Sects.
"I didn't expect that there would be a hidden Spatial Node here."
Qin Tian had always been puzzled about how to access the Ancient Immortal Path.
Could it be that he needed to break through the void and step inside?
How ridiculous!
To have such great power, one would need to reach the Elder realm.
Not to mention the Xuan Yang Sword Sect; even among the Southern Three Great Sects, there wouldn't be a single Elder Level existence.
Elders.
In the entire Central Continent, they are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
"Southern Land" cannot possibly exist.
"The Spatial Node has always been here. However, without the order from the Three Great Sects, it cannot be activated."
Qiyun Hai remained calm.
Yet, the moment he laid eyes on this place, his expression changed.
It was one of awe.
"Mm."
Qin Tian nodded. Such a high-level Spatial Node naturally had to be under the control of the Three Great Sects. But how did the Three Great Sects manipulate the Spatial Node?
Could they operate it from an endless distance away?
That seemed unlikely.
Indeed, as the two stepped inside, Qin Tian saw before him a vast expanse.
Several figures loomed above.
It seemed that, in their eyes, everything here was not worth their time.
"Who is it this year? Hurry up, we have things to do."
Before the Spatial Node, three figures stood firm.
At the forefront was a Black-Clad Youth.
He spoke impatiently.
"We're almost there, we're almost there."
Wu Qingyuan stood to the side, feeling helpless.
"We're already three breaths late. Do you want to die? Do you know how busy we are? If you delay us, can you afford the consequences?"
The Black-Clad Youth let out a cold snort.
Clearly, he was very dissatisfied.
"They've arrived."
At that moment, beside Wu Qingyuan, an Ancient figure slowly spoke.
Then, all eyes in the sky turned towards the back.
They were gathered around Qiyun Hai and Qin Tian.
"Oh, it's Master Uncle? My apologies."
The Black-Clad Youth wore an impatient expression, but at that moment, he reined it in completely.
His gaze towards Qiyun Hai carried a different feeling.
"On my way, I suddenly thought the scenery was nice, so I stopped to take a look for a while. I hope I didn't disturb you?"
Qiyun Hai smiled lightly.
The Black-Clad Youth cleared his throat and forced a smile.
He then bowed slightly.
"Master Uncle, you flatter me. When Shizhi came, Master mentioned that he missed you very much!"
He couldn't help but smile wryly, never expecting that this time he would kick a steel plate.
"Well, I miss my senior brother too! In a few years, when you come to see me, bring him along to meet as well."
"Qiyun Hai, you are not giving any face at all."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was taken aback.
Not only the elders and disciples from the other two sects, but even the elders and disciples of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect were stunned.
Who would dare to say such a thing?
The Black-Clad Youth felt as if he were facing death itself at that moment.
It was one thing to put on a show in front of the Lingxu Daozong and Ziyang Immortal Sect, but to act tough in front of this Master Uncle? That was a whole different level of trouble.
"This junior brother clearly possesses extraordinary talent. He truly embodies the style of Master Uncle in his prime. Here, I have a Treasure as a token of our meeting; you must accept it!"
The Black-Clad Youth's face darkened.
He directly pulled out a wooden sword from his robe.
As soon as he took it out, arcs of lightning flickered around it.
It was clear that this was no ordinary item.
Qin Tian was taken aback; he had not expected such a grand greeting from this senior brother on their first meeting.
He glanced awkwardly at Qiyun Hai.
Only after the latter gestured did he shyly accept the gesture.
"Junior Brother, our cultivation is still shallow. The Spatial Node won't remain open for long. Let's hurry inside!"
The Black-Clad Youth suppressed the urge to bleed from his heart and quickly moved to the side.
He nodded at the others.
The three of them each took out a token.
With a flash of lightning, powerful Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy began to wildly converge in the vast wilderness.
Before long, the seemingly ordinary space suddenly split open with a fine crack.
Boom!
In an instant, the spatial rift shattered apart.
A great door, like a portal, suddenly opened.
The door swung wide.
Qin Tian did not hesitate much. After turning around, he bowed deeply in the direction of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect.
This bow was for the kindness the Xuan Yang Sword Sect had shown him over the past three years.
Next, he offered a deep bow to Elder Zhao and Wu Qingyuan.
This bow was for Elder Zhao's life-saving grace.
And for Wu Qingyuan, who had created opportunities for him to advance further with Gong Xueyi.
For the final bow, he turned towards the distant Qiyun Hai.
It was Qiyun Hai that had supported the Xuan Yang Sword Sect.
Without Qiyun Hai, he would not have had such a favorable cultivation environment over these past three years.
Stepping through this door, he wondered when they would meet again.
All these kindnesses.
Qin Tian kept it in his heart, never to be forgotten.
"Well then, goodbye!"
At the moment Qin Tian lifted his head, a familiar smile graced his lips.
These four words represented all his thoughts at that moment.
Qiyun Hai, Elder Zhao, and Wu Qingyuan, who had once held him back but ultimately let go of their grievances.
They all nodded in appreciation.
Especially Elder Zhao.
He had witnessed Qin Tian grow from a mere infant to a young hero leading troops into battle.
He had seen the boy endure humiliation and hardship for three years, sharpening his skills until he finally made a name for himself against the backdrop of a fallen nation and shattered home.
The boy who once stood lost amidst a sea of blood had now matured into a figure of Heavenly Pride.
He felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
"Leave the Xuan Yang Sword Sect and spread your wings freely in the vast sky outside. Let those noble-born Heavenly Pride know that you exist in this world!"
Elder Zhao raised his arm and called out.
All the disciples present at the Xuan Yang Sword Sect responded loudly.
Qin Tian was their hero.
A hero should soar high in the sky outside.
Let those so-called noble-born people know that you exist in this world.
"I never expected that the little kid from back then would become the pride of the entire Xuan Yang Sword Sect today."
Wu Qingyuan smiled with satisfaction.
Thinking back, he realized that he had intentionally kept Qin Tian under wraps to prevent Gong Xueyi from being distracted.
Tsk tsk, it truly was a different kind of feeling.
If only he had been able to provide better resources and teachings to Qin Tian earlier.
Perhaps he could have flown even higher?
Qin Tian.
Today, everything I owe you.
One day, I will repay it a hundredfold.
As long as, by then, you can still look favorably upon this old man.
Wu Qingyuan did not say these words aloud.
However, he truly thought so.
"Work hard!"
Though it was just two words, they were enough.
...
Qin Tian turned and stepped into the Spatial Node.
After a moment of dizziness, he found himself in a dense jungle.
He stood there in a daze for several breaths.
Only then did he regain his composure.
"Where exactly is this place?"
Qin Tian felt somewhat puzzled.
Although he had never stepped into a Spatial Node before, based on his experience, it shouldn't take this long to feel dizzy.
Could it be...
Is it too far away?
Qin Tian shook his head, dismissing those thoughts from his mind.
He then began to walk slowly toward the distance.
"To think it's here. Tsk tsk tsk, the Southern Three Great Sects really have quite the influence!"
At that moment, a voice echoed from deep within Qin Tian's consciousness.
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside him.
War God,
"Is there something wrong with this place?"
Qin Tian was somewhat surprised.
"If you knew the truth about this place, perhaps you wouldn't be so excited."
The War God shook his head and chuckled softly.
"I don't quite understand what you mean."
Qin Tian sat cross-legged on the ground, forcing a bitter smile.
He truly had no idea where he was.
However, judging by the degree of dizziness he felt, he must be very far from home.
"To say this is the Ancient Immortal Path, I, Qin Tian, have arrived! Actually, that's not correct. Because, as far as I know, this place has existed long before the distant Ancient Era. Back then, it was actually a battlefield.
It was one of the battlefields that buried a great era. You should be able to sense the faint smell of blood here, right?"
The War God looked at Qin Tian.
Qin Tian took a careful sniff and indeed found it to be true.
The scent was very faint; if one didn't pay close attention, it would easily go unnoticed.
He couldn't perceive it at all.
"Buried an entire generation? Don't scare me like that, okay?"
Qin Tian stood up, somewhat in disbelief.
The War God, who had caught up, shrugged his shoulders lightly.
"You'll believe me if you don't collapse halfway."
