Not right. Ye Mo immediately remembered that Lu Zhengqun hid the world tree at Luo Yue continent. Why did Kai Mi seal the other cultivation realm’s immortal ascension tunnel?

　　Kai Mi was cunning and without Ye Mo needed to ask, he said, “If only Luo Yue cultivation realm was prevented from immortal ascension and people noticed, perhaps they would soon be able to find out about the world tree. I took Lu Zhengqun to activate the ancient immortal ascension restriction formation, allowing countless cultivation realms to be unable to immortal ascend. That way, no one would be able to find their way to Luo Yue continent.”

　　“The immortal realm has an immortal ascension restriction formation?” Ye Mo asked in confusion.

　　Kai Mi nodded. “That’s right, this formation is to restrict the cultivators ascending to the immortal realm, since most immortal ascension cultivators are extremely talented.”

　　Ye Mo asked with more confusion, “Isn’t that good for the immortal realm? Why limit their immortal ascension?”

　　Kai Mi said, “I’m not very sure about this either. I just heard in the ancient times, the immortal realm wasn’t just inhabited by immortals, there were also immortal spirit beast and immortal demonic realm. Comparatively, immortals were the weakest of the three, but whenever the immortal realm had talented cultivators ascend to the immortal realm, these cultivators would soon grow to the peak immortal emperors.

　　The immortal spirit beasts and immortal demons didn’t have such an advantage. As time went on, immortals had more advantage and devoured large amounts of their land. Eventually, the entire immortal realm became the world of the immortals. Immortal spirit beasts and immortal demons diminished becoming the pets of immortals. Even if they exist somewhere, it would be faraway corners.”

　　Hearing about immortal demons, Ye Mo thought of Zong Piao Heaven. They were almost annihilated by immortal demons. If he didn’t use his Heaven Flame Nine Suns, there would be no immortals in Zong Piao Heaven. If there could be that many demonic immortal spirit beasts there, who’s to say it would appear elsewhere?

　　“You’re saying that the immortal ascension restriction formation isn’t set up by immortals but demonic immortal spirit beast or immortal spirit beast?” Ye Mo asked.

　　“That’s right. They want to prevent the prodigies of the immortal realm ascending so they set up that formation. Despite this, the immortal demonic realm was gradually taken over by immortals and the immortal spirit beast went into those harsh lands,” Kai Mi answered and said.

　　“Where is that formation? Since you opened the formation, why can I break the immortal ascension restriction at Luo Yue continent?”

　　“This formation is Jin Shang Heaven. All nine divine emperors know about this formation. Jin Shang Heaven was named after this formation. Because this formation isn’t complete and after this many years of ruins, it no longer has the effect to restrict immortal ascension. I used my secret treasure to barely allow Lu Zhengqun to repair the formation. Even if I don’t touch it, the formation would disappear after a while. As for West Extreme State Sand River, I set up seal flags just for there. The thing was at Luo Yue continent and I was afraid its chi would spill so I set up seal flags just for it.

　　Ye Mo finally understood and said, “Go to Jin Shang Heaven and destroy this immortal ascension restriction formation. There’s also another thing I want to ask you. You probably set up the demon realm in West Extreme State right? Is the heaven gang 36 domains in the West Extreme State related to you?”

　　Kai Mi denied, “I only set up a barrier formation at Luo Yue continent. I don’t know about the 36 heaven domains and wouldn’t care about such a little thing in the cultivation realm. I did let Lu Zhengqun set up the demon realm, but that’s just to hide the chi of the tree.”

　　“I understand,” Ye Mo said.

　　“By the way, Dragon River grand emperor asked me to tell you something. You asked him about the purple robed man. There’s news of him now. He knew about the thing here and used the void formation gate to enter the broken realm,” Kai Mi said.

　　Ye Mo was shocked. “You said that the purple robed man entered through here? What about Dragon River grand emperor?”

　　Kai Mi could tell that the purple robed man was very important to Ye Mo and said, “Dragon River grand emperor went back to organize things. After that, he will be entering the broken realm from here.”

　　“When did that purple robed man leave?” Ye Mo asked desperately.

　　The purple robed man probably already knew about him and the stone stools, that’s why he wanted to go to the higher realm to vindicate dao. If he vindicated dao first, then Ye Mo would have to flee again.

　　Thinking about this, Ye Mo no longer had the mood to stay here. He quickly said to Kai Mi, “Open the immortal ascension tunnel to the cultivation realm and you can vindicate dao in the sect. I have to go into the broken realm now. If the other immortal emperors in Mo Yue Immortal Sect want to enter the broken realm, there has to be at least one immortal emperor guarding the sect.”

　　“I understand, before I vindicate dao again I won’t go to the broken realm,” Kai Mi said.

　　Ye Mo left things to Kai Mi and greeted the other two immortal emperors before charging in. He definitely couldn’t allow that purple robed man to vindicate dao first. The stone stool was too important to him. His dao and future would be related to it.”

　　…

　　At the same time in the Ice God Palace, tens of Ice God Palace sect members stood on the two sides. Sitting at the top was the big palace lord Su Lian.

　　“Qing Ru, master chose her own path. We need to respect her decision. Now that our saint has returned, the Ice God Palace will soon no longer shut itself in this icy world. it’s time for us to offer our power for the Ice God Palace.”

　　A green robed woman was speaking. This was the third palace lord.

　　“Yes, Qing Ru, we’re really happy you can come back. I believe the big palace lord is even happier. I just hope you can help Shuangshuang and let her lead Ice God Palace to be the number one sect in the immortal realm,” the big palace lord said softly.

　　Qing Ru got up and bowed. “Big and third palace lord, Qing Ru is determined to leave, but this is the first time our Ice God Palace is participating in the Eternal Night Forest trial. Qing Ru will help Saint Shuangshuang at all cost.”

　　Palace lord Su Lian sighed and said nothing more.

　　Qing Ru sighed. She knew others thought she was leaving because her saint position was taken away but only she knew it wasn’t. She wanted to leave because she saw the scene she saw in the cultivation realm here again.

　　Countless women were frozen into ice peaks just for the saint heritage of the Ice God Palace, just for the Ice God Palace to have an extremely strong saint. She was very disappointed in this practice. The previous big palace lord couldn’t stand this and thus resigned and left.

　　The Ice God Palace only had one true saint in history, and that was saint Shuangshuang. Every time Shuangshuang couldn’t reincarnate, they would find a substitute. The most powerful one in the Ice God Palace wasn’t the palace lord nor immortal emperor but saint Shuangshuang.

　　The Ice God Palace had always sealed their sect but one simple word from Shuangshuang broke this tradition of many years to participate in the Eternal Night forest trial, she just said, “If everyone hides at home to cultivate, we will never become the number one emperor sect in the immortal realm.”

　　Eternal Night Forest was a secret realm in Jin Shang Heaven that provided immortals below great immortal to go trial. There were some rare treasures, but the lethality rate was very high. That’s why the big and third palace lord kept asking Qing Ru to protect Nie Shuangshuang.

　　Nie Shuangshuang sat at the right of the top seat and her face was extremely calm.

　　“In that case, let’s move out now. I’ll lead the sect members this time,” third palace lord said.

　　…

　　Dashing lights left the Ice God Palace. Qing Ru controlled her flying ship calmly. She looked back at the distancing Ice God Palace and had made up her mind.- she would never come back again.

　　“Martial sister Qing Ru, can I ride your flying ship?” Nie Shuangshuang chased up to Qing Ru and smiled.
