Ten years passed by.

In the deepest part of the Eternal Peak, Tian Yongheng remained seated motionlessly inside hisbcave abode.

Throughout those ten years, he never moved once, yet the aura around him continuously changed.

Sometimes it seemed completely nonexistent, as though he had vanished from reality itself, at other times, his existence became incomparably profound, causing even the surrounding space and time to faintly distort.

The Dao of Eternity was simply too profound.

Compared to the Daos he had comprehended previously, the difference was like comparing a mortal river to the boundless sea.

Even after ten years, Tian Yongheng had only barely touched its threshold.

Despite that, the benefits he obtained were already unimaginable.

At this moment, Tian Yongheng slowly opened his eyes.

The instant he did so, countless scenes seemed to flash through the depths of his crimson pupils.

The birth of stars, the destruction of worlds, the rise and fall of civilizations...

Countless images flashed past before disappearing once more.

Tian Yongheng quietly exhaled, a stream of white Immortal mist slowly emerging from his mouth, causing the surrounding void to tremble slightly.

His gaze gradually became thoughtful.

"The Dao of Eternity..."

Even now, he still felt somewhat shocked.

This was the longest period of Dao enlightenment he had experienced since beginning cultivation.

Ten entire years!

For ordinary cultivators, ten years were genuinely nothing, but for him, who had previously comprehended literal Daos within two or three years at most, it was already astonishing.

However, the results justified the effort.

Although he had merely glimpsed the most superficial layer of Eternity, his foundations had undergone another transformation, his combat power had risen tremendously, and more importantly, his understanding of existence had deepened considerably.

Previously, Tian Yongheng only pursued eternity instinctively, now, he had finally begun understanding what eternity truly represented.

At this moment, he slowly stood up.

The surrounding cave abode instantly seemed brighter, not because of any deliberate action, but because his existence itself had become increasingly extraordinary.

Soon afterward, Tian Yongheng’s Divine Sense spread throughout the Eternal Peak.

His eyes immediately revealed slight surprise.

"So much has changed?"

During these ten years, the entire Eternal Peak had undergone earth shattering growth.

The number of Void Refinement Realm cultivators had reached nearly one thousand.

As for Golden Core Realm cultivators, they were basically everywhere.

The current Eternal Peak had already become a terrifying behemoth according to worldly standards on par with million year old forces stronger than Qingyun Sword Sect.

Even without him personally taking action, it could easily suppress the entire Qingyun Region and numerous surrounding regions simultaneously.

At this moment, Tian Yongheng’s gaze landed upon several familiar figures.

Ao Longchen, Mo Yuxin, Yan Jingfei, Lu Qingfeng, Zhao Ye, Sun Hao, Liu Ruoxue, Jian Qi, Wei Qiushan, Yang Wei, Su Yanlan, Tian Yunchen, and even Zhou Yi who had already reformed his physical body and was recovering his cultivation at an astonishing speed...

Most of them had already entered the Nascent Soul Realm.

Some, like Zhao Ye, had even reached the middle or late stages already.

It was expected that in the next hundred years, one or two Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators will surely emerge from among them at the very least.

Tian Yongheng couldn’t help but nod inwardly.

The effects of Immortal Qi truly were extraordinary.

Combined with the talents of his these people, such progress was perfectly reasonable.

Soon afterward, his attention shifted toward a corner of the cave abode, where his clone sat cross-legged.

It slowly dissipated and returned to his body before a brand new clone emerged instantly, now with a cultivation on par with the main body.

Tian Yongheng casually raised his hand, the Primal Dao Sword instantly appearing before him as he looked down at it.

The sword continuously emitted powerful fluctuations, however, it still remained at the Spiritual Grade Low-Rank.

At this moment, Tian Yongheng gently tossed both the sword and a Dharma Fusion Stone toward the clone.

Soon, in the clone’s hands, the Dharma Fusion Stone gradually melted into countless streams of light before merging into the Primal Dao Sword.

The sword immediately erupted with dazzling radiance.

Seeing this, Tian Yongheng smiled faintly.

Once the Primal Dao Sword advanced to Spiritual Grade Mid-Rank, his combat power would rise yet again.

After this upgrade, he was planning on making the Primal Dao Sword his Natal Dharma Treasure.

Fighting against the Infinite Void Matriarch, he truly saw the power of a Natal Dharma Treasure and wanted to get one for himself now.

After settling the matter, Tian Yongheng finally stepped outside.

The sunlight shining upon the Eternal Peak felt somewhat nostalgic.

Ten years of seclusion.

Although insignificant for him, it still felt strangely long.

His figure disappeared instantly.

When he reappeared, he was already standing atop a mountain peak.

Before him sat Qing Yunzi.

The old Sword Cultivator immediately opened his eyes.

The moment he saw Tian Yongheng, he instinctively stood up respectfully, "Master."

However, midway through the greeting, Qing Yunzi suddenly froze.

His eyes widened slightly, and for the first time in countless years, he genuinely lost control of his expression.

What did he see?

Tian Yongheng was smiling, a real, faint smile carrying genuine warmth.

At this moment, Qing Yunzi felt as though a thunderbolt had exploded within his mind.

His Dao Heart trembled violently.

The image he had constructed of Tian Yongheng over the years suddenly shattered completely.

Back then, he always believed Tian Yongheng resembled some ancient supreme being, a transcendent existence who had already seen through all emotions, someone standing above humanity. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

But now...

Looking at the young man before him, Qing Yunzi suddenly realized something.

He had ultimately lived for countless years, after all.

No wonder... no wonder something instinctively felt wrong!

Tian Yongheng was not an ancient monster, nor was he some reincarnated Immortal Sovereign, he was genuinely only slightly over eight hundred years old.

At this thought, even Qing Yunzi felt his scalp becoming numb.

The news about Tian Yongheng’s actions ten years ago had long since reached the Eternal Peak, and almost everyone in the world knew that the Eternal Lord was now truly an Immortal in the Mortal World, capable of shaking the heavens with just his Sword Intent.

Eight hundred years... eight hundred years to become a Vagrant Immortal capable of suppressing the entire Lower Realm...

Compared to this achievement, even the legendary Divine Sovereign from over a billion years ago seemed inferior.

What kind of monster was this?

Unsurprisingly, Tian Yongheng naturally noticed Qing Yunzi’s expression.

However, he merely smiled slightly before raising his hand.

A magnificent sword instantly appeared before them.

Qing Yunzi’s pupils instantly contracted.

"Rank-10 Dharma Artifact..."

Even with his experience, he could not conceal the shock in his eyes.

Even for a Half Immortal, Rank-10 Dharma Artifacts were extremely precious, and an ordinary Half Immortal might only possess one or two such treasures.

At this moment, Tian Yongheng casually tossed the sword toward him.

"This is the Immortal Slaying Stellar Sword. I’ll leave it with you."

Qing Yunzi carefully received the sword.

His hands faintly trembled.

As a Sword Cultivator, he naturally understood what this meant.

Then Tian Yongheng spoke calmly, "I have already injected my Divine Sense and Sword Intent into it, it won’t need more until it has become a Spirit, after all, it’s still only a Dharma Artifact, and my cultivation is already beyond mortals now. Nurture it well."

At those words, Qing Yunzi instantly became incomparably solemn.

He tightly held the sword before bowing deeply.

"This disciple understands."

Tian Yongheng quietly watched the scene, a faint smile lingering on his face.
