As the protagonist of the birthday banquet, Tianjian Zi was undoubtedly the most watched person there.
"Those three little ones, they should be arriving soon, right?"
A hint of coldness flickered across Tianjian Zi\'s face.
As the master of the world\'s foremost power, how could Tianjian Zi not know that the three most dazzling youths of the Five Domains were sharpening their claws, eager to step over him and ascend to the divine throne?
This was not because Tianjian Zi bore a grudge against them.
For decades, Tianjian Sect had not oppressed the younger generation.
In fact, they couldn\'t even if they wanted to.
It\'s just that Tianjian Zi had been oppressing the strong of the Five Domains for too long, and the three leaders of the younger generation wanted to break his myth.
By harnessing the pressure from Tianjian Zi, they aimed to carve their own paths.
"Foolish."
"Today, I shall let you understand what the Tenth Realm is."
Tianjian Zi thought to himself.
If given enough time, Tianjian Zi did not deny that the three had the potential to step into the Tenth Realm.
But now?
Mere Ninth Realm practitioners, how could they challenge Tianjian Zi?
"This time, I must not hold back."
"Once these three are dealt with, the younger generation of the Five Domains will be greatly weakened, and they won\'t threaten Tianjian Sect for the next hundred or even hundreds of years."
"With that... I can also set out to that place with peace of mind..."
Tianjian Zi\'s thoughts surged as his gaze faintly turned in a certain direction.
That was the north.
North of the Northern Region, north of the Endless Sea Domain.
After stepping into the Tenth Realm, Tianjian Zi vaguely sensed a calling.
A summons from the heavens and earth, constantly drawing him northward.
The two predecessors from Tianjian Sect who were in the Tenth Realm had also experienced this.
After those two Tenth Realm predecessors from Tianjian Sect heeded the call and headed north of the Endless Sea Domain, they never returned.
Thus, after entering the Tenth Realm, Tianjian Zi had been suppressing this call.
Only in recent years had the summons grown stronger, and Tianjian Zi was vaguely aware that if he continued to delay, a great terror might ensue.
"Luan E, when will you reach the peak of the Ninth Realm?"
Tianjian Zi\'s gaze shifted slightly, landing on \'Bai Qing\'er.\'
Bai Qing\'er, originally named \'Luan E,\' was rumored to be Tianjian Zi\'s childhood sweetheart.
In truth, Luan E was just Tianjian Zi\'s sister.
However, ever since the incident with Xiahou Yuan, Luan E had taken \'Bai Qing\'er\' as her actual name.
"Soon."
Luan E answered nonchalantly.
"Once you reach the peak of the Ninth Realm, I will help you step into the Tenth Realm with all my strength," said Tianjian Zi.
"When will the Sect Leader come out of seclusion and capture Xiahou Yuan for me?" Luan E suddenly asked.
"Xiahou Yuan?" Tianjian Zi\'s brow furrowed.
He had long since stopped concerning himself with Xiahou Yuan.
However, seeing Luan E like this, it was clear she had been left with a Heart Demon because of that incident.
"Enough."
Tianjian Zi sighed inwardly.
Even as a Tenth Realm practitioner, if Xiahou Yuan was determined to hide somewhere, there was not much he could do.
But after decades of cultivation, Tianjian Zi had delved deep into the Tenth Realm and had even comprehended several secret techniques left by his Tenth Realm predecessors.
If he paid a certain price, it was still possible to locate Xiahou Yuan.
"After the birthday banquet, I will bring back Xiahou Yuan. However, you must promise me the thing you promised..." Tianjian Zi spoke in a calm tone, as if he were retrieving not the legendary fiend who once oppressed the Five Domains but rather a stray cat or dog.
"Thank you, Sect Leader," Bai Qing\'er said, immediately smiling with joy at the words.
At that moment, she had already begun to envision the various scenes that would unfold once Xiahou Yuan fell into her hands.
Suddenly.
At that moment.
The numerous strong practitioners gathered at the peak of Tianjian Mountain, celebrating for Tianjian Zi, suddenly realized that the sky seemed to darken.
The originally sunny and mist-enshrouded peak of Tianjian Mountain became gloomy all at once.
"What is that?"
A strong practitioner looked up at the sky.
They saw a continent-sized massive shadow falling rapidly toward Tianjian Mountain.
"Not good."
"Run quickly."
"What is this thing?"
Even though the strong practitioners did not know why the \'continent\' shadow had appeared here, they realized that staying would definitely not bode well.
So they frantically fled in all directions.
As long as they could escape the coverage range of the \'continent\' shadow, they should be safe.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The \'continent\' shadow descended too quickly.
And the boundless Power of Taiyin spread, turning into a terrifying pressure, restricting all the strong practitioners\' speeds.
Boom.
Tianjian Zi soared into the sky.
The breath of a Tenth Realm practitioner burst forth unrestrained, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Others could run, but Tianjian Zi could not, for beneath his feet lay Tianjian Mountain, the Core Land of Tianjian Sect.
If he were to flee and cause any accident to Tianjian Mountain, wouldn\'t he be the sinner of Tianjian Sect for tens of thousands of years?
Most importantly.
Tianjian Zi had a vague feeling that even if he wanted to run, he could not.
Surrounded by the formless and profound Power of Taiyin, even though Tianjian Zi was a Tenth Realm practitioner, his speed was greatly reduced, and there was no hope of escaping before the \'continent\' shadow descended.
"Stop!"
Tianjian Zi\'s eyes turned blood-red, and his aura surged once more, towering like a divine being, attempting to hold back the descending \'continent\' shadow.
However.
Bang.
Tianjian Zi exploded abruptly.
The \'continent\' shadow did not stop even for a moment, continuing to press down on Tianjian Mountain.
Rumble rumble.
With the \'continent\' shadow\'s relentless descent,
Tianjian Mountain began to collapse.
One after another, the strong practitioners burst apart, their flesh and Primordial Spirits shattering into fragments that fell.
