Chapter 443: Chapter 415: Xuanhuang Unification

In the 57th year, Han Wuyou ascended to the Final Stage Foundation Establishment.

In the 58th year, the decade-long deadline had arrived.

The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals dispatched a group of black-clothed cultivators, initiating a purge of all non-affiliated cultivators within the realm.

Despite their resistance, freelance cultivators fell before the might of their aggressors in a blink of an eye.

Though individual freelance cultivators were not powerful.

Ability displayed by black-clothed cultivators in this battle was genuinely formidable.

While their individual strength wasn’t impressive, with the majority at the Nascent Soul Realm.

They demonstrated an unnerving aptitude in combat, capable of fighting multiple cultivators of the same realm without being at a disadvantage.

Their methods were ruthless and sparing no one.

Regardless of where they hid, black-robed cultivators could always locate them with pinpoint precision.

Leaving them with no place to hide.

Streams of blood flowed freely in no time.

After the cultivators of the external realm barely repelled a group of black-clothed cultivators, they chose to join the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals after discussing it amongst themselves.

After practicing the secret technique “One Hand Cover the Sky Technique” from the remains of Mechanism Sect, they successfully passed the White Jade Heart-Asking Platform test under Shuo Feng’s guidance.

Embracing a covert existence within the Immortal Alliance for the moment.

In the 60th year, the conflicts were all settled.

There were no more freelance cultivators within the territory of Immortal Alliance.

In the 61st year, the Immortal Alliance published a decree.

Upholding the [Tian Xuan Soul Locking Array], everyone has a responsibility.

All cultivators in the Alliance are required to cultivate the technique known as [Sky Mending Record].

Although this technique does not boost one’s cultivation upon mastering.

It nevertheless generates corresponding [Gift Points] in the Mysterious Mirror depending on the progress.

Like contribution points, Gift Points could be redeemed for various techniques and resources.

Thus, even though there were many objections, the vast majority of cultivators had no option but to begin practicing the [Sky Mending Record] as per the rules.

In the 63rd year, Han Wuyou advanced to the Golden Core Stage.

In the same year, he comprehended “The Immortal Scripture of the Heavenly Physician” from the Array Breaking Jade Disc during one of his closed-door cultivation sessions.

In the 65th year, a small rumor was circulated that a barrier seemed to have been added to the world. The cultivation power gained by a cultivator from cultivation did not fully belong to them.

A small portion had disappeared mysteriously.

The rumor was quickly suppressed after it had been spread for a while.

Following a secret meeting of the external realm cultivators and mutual verification, they confirmed the truth of the rumor.

Xiao Heng instructed everyone to keep quiet about it.

The day after the meeting, the external realm cultivators received a warning operation from a group of black-clothed cultivators.

In the 69th year, the Five Elders Organization suddenly staged an attack on Ba Fang State.

This time, they seemed to have found a temporary way to block the locking effect of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array.

They launched an unstoppable assault and conquered more than half of Ba Fang State within a single day.

However, at this moment a swarm of innumerable black-clothed cultivators descended and a gruesome battle broke out with the Five Elder Organization.

The entire strength of the Five Elders Organization far exceeded that of the black-clothed cultivators.

Still, the black-clothed cultivators, fearlessly facing death and seemingly infinite in number, would instantly replace fallen comrades.

Eventually, the Five Elders Organization, having suffered heavy casualties, was forced to retreat.

After this battle, the identity of the black-clothed cultivators became known to the world.

[Astralmancers].

In the 71st year, more information about [Astralmancers] was disclosed.

Unlike the current cultivation system, Astralmancers do not need to cultivate, they only need to gain the approval of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Formation.

They could use this authority to leverage the energy covered by the Spirit-locking Formation for combat.

The most highly ranked astralmancer at the moment possessed powers equivalent to that of a Nascent Soul Monk.

In the 72nd year, an astonishing piece of news echoed in every corner.

A cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, Tang Fangsheng, accidentally killed hundreds of mortals in Crimson Dragon City during a fight with someone.

Among them, one mortal named Shi Qing survived by a stroke of luck.

However, all of his family members were tragically killed.

Shi Qing was devastated.

In despair, he pleaded to the heavens.

For some reason, he gained the recognition of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array and became a Sky Artificer.

In an instant, he attained the combat abilities of the Nascent Soul Stage, brutally killing his enemy, Tang Fangsheng, on the spot.

Cultivators who painstakingly cultivated for a hundred years didn’t compare to a mortal who received one divine blessing.

All cultivators from around the world, were deeply disturbed.

75 years into anchoring, a Sky Artificer appeared with the strength equivalent to God Transformation.

At the same time, cultivators found their cultivation progress slowing down.

80 years into anchoring, the Immortal Alliance cracked a major case of trying to destroy the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array.

They executed more than a hundred cultivators.

85 years into anchoring, Han Wuyou comprehended “The Ten Thousand Forms Technique of the Crucible” from “The Immortal Scripture of the Heavenly Physician”.

He read through the Immortal Scripture of the Heavenly Physician, which documented countless different creatures as vast as the starry sea.

Yet, he vaguely discovered that all living beings had something in common.

The Heaven and Earth acted as a furnace, melting originally integrated beings into thousands of forms in this world.

Practicing this technique allows for free transformation among thousands of forms.

As long as one mastered its physiological structure, they could transform into plants or beasts.

Ordinary cultivators were unable to distinguish the real from the fake.

Overjoyed, Han Wuyou advanced to the mid-stage Golden Core.

86 years into anchoring, the growing number of Sky Artificers remained steady.

90 years into anchoring, a natural strange phenomenon occurred.

Blood rain fell across the various states, and cries of pain echoed throughout Heaven and Earth.

It lasted for several months.

91 years into anchoring, a Sky Artificer with Unity-Path cultivation made a move, suppressing all the culprits who tried to overthrow the Spirit-locking Formation.

101 years into anchoring, the Immortal Alliance clearly required a certain quota for cultivators to cultivate the Sky Mending Record.

139 years into anchoring, Han Wuyou received a secret message from Xiao Heng and arrived at a stronghold 30,000 feet underground, learning that over the recent years, the [Immortal Revival] has gathered a large group of likeminded cultivators under the banner of overthrowing the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array.

At the same time, Han Wuyou received even more shocking news.

Over the course of a hundred years, countless cultivators had inexplicably disappeared. No traces of them alive or dead.

Plenty of evidence pointed to the Immortal Alliance as the culprits.

Han Wuyou learned an upgraded version of the “One-Hand-Cover-the-Sky” technique, which could interfere with the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array’s surveillance within a certain range.

150 years into anchoring, news came that the Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Organization were about to merge.

The world was shocked.

159 years into anchoring, the Xuanhuang World was unified.

The Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Organization together became known as the [Sky Alliance].

A group of Sky Artificers started heading to the former territory of the Five Elders Organization to construct the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array.

160 years into anchoring, Han Wuyou advanced to the final stage of the Golden Core.

163 years into anchoring, during the construction of the Spirit-locking Formation, the [Immortal Revival] tried to assassinate the array masters and obtain the blueprint of the Spirit-locking Formation.

However, they failed and 78 individuals died miserably.

Afterwards, the Sky Alliance carried out a relentless purge.

Many innocent cultivators were tragically killed.

The [Immortal Revival] was completely forced into hibernation.

171 years into anchoring, the Spirit-locking Formation was constructed throughout the entire Xuanhuang World.

From then on, the sky regularly appeared green.

And the Xuanhuang World entered a period of nearly a hundred years of peace.

The number of Sky Artificers was increasing.

However, the cultivation speed of the cultivators was getting slower and slower.

Moreover, their overall population was decreasing steadily year by year.

Underneath the tranquil exterior of the Xuanhuang World, covert struggles were brewing.

260 years into anchoring, Han Wuyou advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage.

263 years into anchoring, an edict titled “The Edict to All Cultivators” spread throughout the Xuanhuang World overnight.

It officially kicked off the war between the cultivators and the Spirit-locking Formation.
