    Is that why heaven kept adding, 'Fortunately..'
    I thought it's to mock the cultivators till now but maybe it's just saying it didn't lose them.

    The "being" outside the cultivation realm is a black hole? I was wondering if it was the time eater but maybe this black hole has a consciousness like the cong yun sea had, and maybe this black hole is maleficent?

    I think it’s cool that it appears the cultivation realm orbits this living black hole,

    but did the immortal realm that existed above this realm become too heavy and it self-destructive /reach the point where a black hole was formed and all beings were swallowed by this black hole?

    I like to theorize but we won’t be able to find answers for hundreds or more chapters, I love this, next chapter!!

    1. Qi Refining

    2. Foundation Establishement

    3. Golden Core

    4. Nascent soul

    5. Soul Transformation (also called true monarch)

    6. Dao Integration (also called immortal sage? Ex:golden sun immortal sage who led the fight vs crimson flame)

    7. Longevity Immortal (heavenly {sovereign?/ancestor?/venerate?} is title of leaders of 10.000 alliance/5 elders association, also called ancient celestial lords?)

    8. True Immortal

    9. God Transformation?? (Unknown if this is the realm, mentioned as Mr. Bai's realm)

    (Dao integration and higher realms cultivators seems to have specific tiles;
    1. One Heart Heavenly Venerate= Zhao Shijie (she is an elder of 5 elders)
    2. Law-Bestowing Heavenly Venerate= cultivator who created /promoted the method of stealing from heavenly dao and spread across the world (seems to be highest leader of 10.000 immortal alliance))

    This is one possibility.”

    “Another possibility is…”

    Li Fan’s brow furrowed.

    “When cultivators die, they don’t all return their Dao to Heaven. A portion of them disappears…”


    So in the 2nd conjecture is that a part of the cultivators are swallowed by the black hole when they die instead of being absorbed back in to the world.

    **Chapter 409 – Realm and Immortal, One and the Same**

    “As far as I know, aside from our sect’s foundational scripture, the *Salvation Longevity Sutra*, several of my fellow disciples back then practiced other methods as well.”

    “If I awaken them ahead of time, it shouldn’t be a major problem.”

    “Once I’ve gathered enough techniques…”

    Linghu Chang spoke half to himself, but soon noticed Xiao Heng and the others staring at him strangely.

    He paused, frowning. “What is it, Daoist Xiao? Is there a flaw in my plan?”

    Xiao Heng gave a bitter smile. “Daoist Linghu, I’m afraid the current cultivation world is far more complicated than you imagine.”

    At once, he explained the situation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Council—two colossal powers that monopolized nearly every cultivation method under heaven.

    Linghu Chang’s face turned ashen.

    “How could it be like this?”

    If what they said was true, then those two forces were even more terrifying than the Ten Great Immortal Sects of old.

    Su Xiaomei added hurriedly, “The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance are no benevolent people. If they learn the condition of your Medicine King Sect, with so many treasures and cultivation arts, they will never let you go.”

    Zhang Haobo nodded. “Their control over cultivation techniques is frightening. Especially with your ancient method—if it can truly reach Union with the Dao, then by their ways, they would never allow such a genuine path to remain outside their grasp. Once word spreads, they’ll send enforcers to ‘reclaim’ it.”

    The three, following their own fears, painted the Alliance as a monstrous, oppressive force.

    Though Linghu Chang did not believe every word, he understood well the truth of *‘a man’s wealth is his own ruin’*.

    To join that alliance and entrust the lives of hundreds of slumbering brothers to outsiders—he could not do it. Not after receiving Liu Ruchen’s dying entrustment.

    After a moment of thought, he bowed solemnly to Xiao Heng and the rest.

    “I have been gone from the Xuanhuang Realm for thousands of years. The affairs of the present age are foreign to me.”

    “For the sake of my sect’s survival, I must trouble you all for guidance.”

    Xiao Heng quickly replied that he dared not accept such courtesy.

    Once the matters within the Medicine King Cauldron were resolved, Linghu Chang and the three departed from it.

    He stored the cauldron away and followed the original route back toward Shilin Prefecture.

    Throughout the journey, they traveled with utmost restraint.

    When Linghu Chang saw the grand celestial cities along the way, each brimming with cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, his resolve hardened further. He became even more cautious.

    ---

    **Headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.**

    **Museum of Divine Relics.**

    Led by an attendant, Li Fan stepped into the vast structure.

    Midway through the tour, he stopped abruptly.

    The black-clad guide looked at him in surprise.

    “Is there somewhere I can rest?” Li Fan asked apologetically.

    Seeing his white hair and frail appearance, the attendant nodded in understanding and brought him to a private chamber—plainly furnished but complete with tables and chairs.

    “You may rest here. When you wish to resume, contact me through this jade token.”

    She handed him a token carved with the mark *Bingyin*, then quietly departed.

    Li Fan drew a deep breath, digesting the information transmitted by Xiao Heng and the others.

    “*The Immortal Ruins…*”

    His eyes narrowed.

    “An immensely attractive force that devours all… even twisting time and space itself. Approach it, and a moment becomes a thousand years.”

    “This is…”

    “A black hole?”

    “Or something akin to one.”

    “And that strange presence above Dao Source Continent… could it be related to the Immortal Ruins?”

    As he sorted through his thoughts, a realization struck.

    “The Immortal Ruins above, the Xuanhuang Realm below constantly at risk of being drawn in… and the disturbances upon the death of cultivators…”

    Suddenly, everything he had seen and heard linked together.

    A coherent, logical conclusion surfaced in his mind—one that unraveled all his previous doubts.

    “To prevent the Xuanhuang Realm from being completely devoured by the Immortal Ruins above, it must maintain a certain *weight*.”

    “And cultivators… are a crucial part of that weight.”

    “When cultivators die in large numbers, the realm grows lighter.”

    “It is then ever so slightly pulled closer to the Immortal Ruins.”

    “If the number of cultivators falls below a threshold, the Xuanhuang Realm will irreversibly…”

    “Fall into the Immortal Ruins.”

    “At that time, even an Eternal Celestial would be unable to escape annihilation.”

    “That’s why Ji Hongdao’s deterrence works.”

    “*Mutual destruction.*”

    “And that’s why the number of cultivators must never become too small.”

    Li Fan’s mind raced. Thinking of Senior Sister Zhao’s words and actions, he felt that this explanation was dangerously close to the truth.

    But then another question arose.

    Why would cultivators possess *weight*?

    The weight of heaven and earth was understandable—but the bodies of cultivators?

    Like a bolt of lightning, understanding dawned.

    “Ancient cultivators would not have such weight.”

    “But the new cultivators—those who plunder heaven and earth—”

    “They absorb the world’s spirit, imitate its wonders, glimpse its laws, seize its essence, and draw out its marrow…”

    “They take pieces of the world into themselves.”

    “Thus, they inherit the world’s *weight*.”

    For those below the Golden Core stage, this effect is minor.

    But after Nascent Soul, when one devours a portion of heaven and earth to form one’s own *Cave Heaven*, the meaning becomes clear.

    “*Cave Heaven*…”

    “The *weight* of the world itself…”

    Li Fan’s thoughts deepened.

    According to Linghu Chang’s memories, the Immortal Ruins had already existed long before the spread of the new cultivation methods.

    At that time, the Ten Great Immortal Sects had joined forces to prevent the Xuanhuang Realm’s destruction.

    What did those supreme cultivators do back then?

    Recalling the realm’s current structure, a bold theory surfaced.

    “When I first studied the *Five Spirit Induction Method* and saw the path of the new cultivation system, I had doubts.”

    “Such plundering of heaven and earth—how could the world endure so long?”

    “After learning more of the Xuanhuang Realm’s secrets, my suspicions grew.”

    “The number of *Cave Heavens* and minor worlds within this realm is far too many.”

    “Da Xuan, the Detached Realms, and countless subsidiary worlds… each unique and numerous.”

    “Now, it seems these places were not originally part of the Xuanhuang Realm at all.”

    “They were *captured* from the void by the cultivators of the Ten Great Immortal Sects—to prevent the realm from being swallowed by the Immortal Ruins.”

    *(End of Chapter)*



    **Chapter 410 – Fortune Amid Misfortune**

    “The cultivators of ancient times truly performed feats equal to catching stars and seizing moons.”

    Looking upon the countless *Cave Heavens* and minor worlds within the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Fan could not help but sigh in awe.

    It was precisely that ancient accumulation that gave the Xuanhuang Realm such deep reserves—enough to endure thousands of years of plunder by later cultivators.

    “When cultivators die, they *return their Dao to Heaven*. It is a self-protective response born from the world’s instinct to preserve itself.”

    “This recycling process greatly slows the loss of its *weight*.”

    “But…”

    Li Fan pondered.

    The so-called *weight* was merely his term—a stand-in for the world’s ability to resist the pull of the *Immortal Ruins*.

    As things stood, the *weight* of a cultivator after death and return to Heaven was far less than it had been in life.

    “Perhaps because their *Cave Heaven* collapses, the energy returned to the world becomes formless. And to condense that energy once again into tangible, weighted substance would take ages.”

    “When the creation of new *Cave Heavens* lags behind their destruction, the imbalance threatens the stability of the realm.”

    “Hence, the number of cultivators must be controlled—to maintain equilibrium.”

    “That is one possibility.”

    “The other…”

    His brow furrowed.

    “When cultivators die, perhaps not all of them truly return to Heaven. Some might simply… vanish.”

    “A disturbing thought—but in this realm, such things are all too normal.”

    He recalled the images recorded by the *Medicine King Cauldron* after it broke free of the world.

    Once beyond the realm’s shelter, the cauldron had fallen toward the *Immortal Ruins* like a moth drawn to flame—utterly unable to resist.

    “The Immortal Ruins…”

    The deepest terror lies in facing the unknown.

    Why had the Celestial Path of old transformed into that devouring void?

    Did the Celestial Realm still exist?

    If not—what destroyed it?

    The more he thought, the more an instinctive dread welled up.

    After a long breath, Li Fan forced his thoughts down.

    Those questions were still far beyond his reach.

    At the very least, they were matters to consider only after attaining the realm of Eternal Celestial.

    He buried the thoughts and turned back to his own situation.

    “Though this world I came to teeters constantly on the brink of extinction…”

    “From my perspective, that might actually be a good thing.”

    “Even the so-called Celestials are like the common beings of this realm—grasshoppers bound to the same sinking ship.”

    “On this vessel called the Xuanhuang Realm, even the Eternal Celestials must act with restraint. They cannot act without consequence.”

    “If this were a world fully under one supreme being’s control—where with a single thought, every living creature could be refined or erased—then that would be true doom. Even with *Huan Zhen’s* aid, it would avail nothing.”

    “Fortune amid misfortune indeed.”

    With that thought, Li Fan’s heart gradually steadied.

    “The *Heavenly Profound Spirit-Locking Formation* serves the same function as what my previous world called *nuclear deterrence*.”

    “Until the Five Elders Council finds a way to neutralize it, large-scale wars are unlikely. At most, small skirmishes will continue.”

    “But it also confirms that the Transmission Celestial is truly gone. What happens next… no one can predict.”

    He summoned the *Huan Zhen* panel.

    > “Physiological Age: 884 / 899.”

    “To see far, one must stand high. In the past, I could live no more than fifty anchored years before being forced to *Return to Truth*. Fifty years of foresight sufficed for mortals, but not for this unpredictable realm.”

    “Perhaps, in one life, I should do nothing—merely observe the world’s changes. With enough time, perhaps I might uncover something of greater value.”

    ---

    When his thoughts were in order, Li Fan took out the jade token that Bingyin, the attendant, had given him, and resumed his tour of the *Museum of Divine Relics*.

    At this point, he could have *Returned to Truth* directly. But as one of the core sites of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the museum was rarely accessible.

    Since he was here, he might as well take the opportunity to see more. After all, he had long been curious about the head of that first cultivator infected by the *Immortal-Mortal Miasma* displayed at the museum’s center.

    According to Bingyin, the museum was divided into sections based on the nature of its relics.

    The section Li Fan was in now was the first one all visitors were required to see—

    **The Era of Beauty.**

    “What is this?” Li Fan asked, studying a massive floating sphere of light before him.

    The sphere contained several partitions, each showing rapidly shifting scenes. The images changed too quickly to discern clearly, but he could glimpse silhouettes of people and distinct landscapes—each region strikingly different in style.

    “This represents *eras*,” Bingyin explained.

    “It is formed around a *Dao-Transmutation Stone*, manifesting the various historical epochs of the Xuanhuang Realm.”

    “This desolate wasteland of ruins is the *Era of Desolation*.”

    “This blood-soaked scene of carnage is the *Era of Darkness*.”

    “And here, where countless shadows flicker—it is the *Era of Plague*. Judging from the images, this should be the period of mass migrations, when cultivators forced mortals to relocate.”

    As she spoke, the regions she named magnified, letting Li Fan barely make out the rushing fragments within.

    “*Dao-Transmutation Stone*…” Li Fan watched for a while, then asked, “And what does the term ‘Era of Beauty’ mean?”

    Bingyin smiled. “The Dao-Transmutation Stone is an ancient treasure of the Taiyan Sect, capable of deducing fate and foretelling futures.”

    “Its simulations blur the line between truth and illusion.”

    “To us, mere observers, these *Eras* may seem unreal—but to the countless beings within them, everything they experience is undeniably real.”

    “When one sends in a strand of divine sense—or even a wisp of soul—one can personally live through those events of ancient history.”

    After giving this background, Bingyin continued, “We once performed an experiment with one million blank souls whose memories had been erased.”

    “We placed them in different epochs, let the simulation run for five hundred years, and ranked the outcomes.”

    “The era we live in—the one governed by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance—ranked first without question.”

    “In survival rate and cultivation achievement alike, it utterly surpassed all others.”

    “Thus, the name *Era of Beauty* is well deserved.”

    Bingyin spoke with undisguised pride.
