Xuanhuang returns to unity

In Anchor Year 57, Han Wuyou broke through to Late Stage Foundation Establishment.

In Anchor Year 58, the ten-year period arrived.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance dispatched a group of Black-Clothed Cultivators to begin eradicating Loose Cultivators across the land who had not joined the Alliance.

The Loose Cultivators of the world rose in resistance, but they crumbled at the first touch.

Although part of the reason was that the Loose Cultivators' combat power was indeed not strong.

However, the combat power displayed by the Black-Clothed Cultivators in this battle was truly not to be underestimated.

Although their individual strength was not high, most of them were in the Nascent Soul Realm.

But in actual combat, they were extremely terrifying. They could simultaneously face more than a dozen Cultivators of the same Realm without falling into a disadvantage.

And their attacks were ruthless, never leaving survivors.

No matter where the Loose Cultivators hid, the Black-Clothed Cultivators could always precisely pinpoint their location.

Leaving them nowhere to escape.

For a time, countless lives were lost across the land.

After the people of Li Realm barely repelled a group of Black-Clothed Cultivators, they discussed and finally chose to join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

After everyone cultivated the secret technique, Only Hand Covers the Sky, found in the Tianji Sect ruins, and with Shuo Feng's efforts, they successfully passed the test of the White Jade Questioning Heart Platform.

They temporarily lay low within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

In Anchor Year 60, the war concluded.

Within the territory of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, no Loose Cultivator remained.

In Anchor Year 61, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance issued a decree.

Maintaining the Heavenly Mystery Spirit Locking Array is everyone's responsibility.

All Cultivators within the Alliance must Cultivate a method called Heaven Mending Record.

Although this method will not increase one's own Cultivation after Cultivation.

However, it will generate corresponding Tian Ci points in the tianxuan mirror based on the progress made.

Like contribution points, Tian Ci points can be used to exchange for various Cultivation Techniques and resources.

Thus, although there were many complaints, the vast majority of Cultivators still reluctantly began to Cultivate the Heaven Mending Record as required.

In Anchor Year 63, Han Wuyou broke through to the Golden Core Stage.

In the same year, during a closed-door meditation, he comprehended the Heavenly Physician Immortal Scripture from the Array Breaker Jade Disk.

In Anchor Year 65, a rumor circulated. It seemed as if an extra layer of obstruction had appeared between heaven and earth, and not all of the Cultivation gained by Cultivators belonged to themselves.

Instead, a small portion of it mysteriously disappeared to an unknown place.

It only circulated for a short while before being suppressed.

The people of Li Realm secretly gathered, and after exchanging and verifying information, they confirmed the authenticity of the news.

Xiao Heng warned everyone not to make a sound.

The day after the gathering, the people of Li Realm received a warning from a team of Black-Clothed Cultivators who came to their door.

In Anchor Year 69, the Five Old Men Association suddenly launched a surprise attack on Bazhou.

This time, they seemed to have developed a method to temporarily block the Heavenly Mystery Spirit Locking Array's lock.

They were unstoppable, capturing more than half of Bazhou's territory within a single day.

At this moment, thousands upon thousands of Black-Clothed Cultivators descended, engaging in a bloody slaughter with the Five Old Men Association.

The overall strength of the Five Old Men Association's elites was a notch above that of the Black-Clothed Cultivators.

However, the Black-Clothed Cultivators fought fearlessly, and their numbers seemed endless. When one group died, another quickly replaced them.

Ultimately, the Five Old Men Association, suffering heavy casualties, was forced to retreat.

After this battle, the Cultivators of the world learned the identity of this group of Black-Clothed Cultivators.

Sky Art Masters.

In Anchor Year 71, more information regarding the Sky Art Masters was revealed.

Unlike the current Cultivation system, Sky Art Masters do not need to Cultivate; they only need to gain the recognition of the Heavenly Mystery Spirit Locking Array.

They can then use its authority to mobilize the energy covered by the Lock Spirit Array for combat.

Currently, the highest Rank Sky Art Masters have strength comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators.

In Anchor Year 72, a strange tale caused a sensation throughout the world.

When Golden Core cultivator Tang Fang was fighting someone, he accidentally caused the deaths of hundreds of Mortals in Red Dragon City.

One of the Mortals named Shi Qing, fortunately, survived.

However, his family members all tragically died.

Shi Qing was overwhelmed with grief and despair.

In his despair, he begged to the heavens.

For some unknown reason, he gained the recognition of the Heavenly Mystery Spirit Locking Array and became a Sky Art Master.

In an instant, he gained the combat power of the Nascent Soul Stage and brutally killed his enemy, Tang Fang, on the spot.

A Cultivator's hundred years of arduous Cultivation were no match for a Mortal's single bow.

The Cultivators of the world were filled with fear.

In Anchor Year 75, Sky Art Masters equivalent to Soul Transformation strength appeared.

At the same time, Cultivators found their own Cultivation progress becoming increasingly slow.

In Anchor Year 80, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance uncovered a major case attempting to overthrow the Heavenly Mystery Spirit Locking Array.

Hundreds of Cultivators were executed.

In Anchor Year 85, Han Wuyou comprehended the Furnace of Myriad Aspects from the Heavenly Physician Immortal Scripture.

He thoroughly read the Heavenly Physician Immortal Scripture, browsing the vast array of different creatures recorded within it.

Yet, he vaguely discovered that all living beings shared commonalities.

Heaven and earth are like a furnace, smelting living beings, originally perhaps one entity, into the myriad forms of the world.

Cultivating this technique allows for free transformation among these myriad forms.

As long as one is proficient in their physiological structure, one can transform into plants or beasts.

Ordinary Cultivators would find it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

Han Wuyou was overjoyed and broke through to the Golden Core Middle Stage.

In Anchor Year 86, the number of Sky Art Masters continued to grow steadily.

In Anchor Year 90, unusual phenomena occurred.

Blood rained in various states, and wails echoed throughout heaven and earth.

It lasted for several months without ceasing.

In Anchor Year 91, a Sky Art Master of Dao Integration Cultivation took action and suppressed all individuals involved in an attempt to subvert the Lock Spirit Array.

In Anchor Year 101, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance established clear quota requirements for Cultivators to Cultivate the Heaven Mending Record.

In Anchor Year 139, Han Wuyou received a secret message from Xiao Heng. After arriving at an outpost three hundred thousand feet underground, Han Wuyou learned that in recent years, under the banner of subverting the Heavenly Mystery Spirit Locking Array, Resurrection Immortal had gathered a large group of like-minded Cultivators.

At the same time, Han Wuyou learned an even more shocking piece of news.

Over the past century, countless Cultivators had mysteriously disappeared. No one was seen alive, and no bodies were found after death.

Numerous pieces of evidence indicated that it was the work of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Han Wuyou learned an upgraded version of the Only Hand Covers the Sky method, which could interfere with the Heavenly Mystery Spirit Locking Array's surveillance within a certain range.

In Anchor Year 150, news spread that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Old Men Association were about to merge.

The world was shocked.

In Anchor Year 159, the Xuanhuang World was unified.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Old Men Association were collectively referred to as the Sky Alliance.

A group of Sky Art Masters began to travel to the former territory of the Five Old Men Association to construct the Heavenly Mystery Spirit Locking Array.

In Anchor Year 160, Han Wuyou broke through to the Golden Core Late Stage.

In Anchor Year 163, during the construction of the Lock Spirit Array, Resurrection Immortal attempted to ambush and kill the Formation Master to obtain the Lock Spirit Array's structural blueprint.

However, it ended in failure, with seventy-eight people tragically dying.

Afterward, the Sky Alliance launched a frenzied purge.

Many innocent Cultivators tragically died.

Resurrection Immortal completely went into hiding.

In Anchor Year 171, the construction of the Lock Spirit Array was completed throughout the entire Xuanhuang World.

From then on, the sky permanently appeared green.

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

The number of Sky Art Masters grew increasingly large.

However, the Cultivation speed of Cultivators became increasingly slow.

Furthermore, their overall numbers steadily decreased year by year.

Beneath the seemingly peaceful Xuanhuang World, undercurrents surged.

In Anchor Year 260, Han Wuyou broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

In Anchor Year 263, a 'Letter to All Cultivators of the World' spread throughout the Xuanhuang World overnight.

Completely ushering in the prelude to the war between Cultivators and the Lock Spirit Array.

I had writer's block yesterday and couldn't make up for the missing part.
