A great change? Is that truly the case? No wonder this portal appeared here. This planet, Chu Yun, is indeed special.
What exactly is this great change? Su Han dared not delay and quickly asked, "Immortal Chu Yun, what is this great change you speak of?"
Immortal Chu Yun replied, "This planet is just an ordinary one. As a Golden Immortal, I would normally go to planets with higher spiritual energy. Yet, here I am. What do you think is the reason for this?"
Su Han quickly said, "There must be a very important reason. Otherwise, a Golden Immortal would not be in such a remote and ordinary planet with average spiritual energy."
Chu Yun nodded, "Precisely, there is a very important reason. In the Immortal-Demonic Great Universe, the highest level of immortals are Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven years ago, the Grand Unity Golden Immortals of the Immortal-Demonic Great Universe discovered a spatial passage leading to another universe."
"When this spatial passage appeared, the Grand Unity Golden Immortals believed this universe to be merely an ordinary cultivation universe and paid it no heed. However, a group of powerful beings emerged from this other universe. Wherever these beings went, plants would wither. Furthermore, these beings had reached the Celestial Immortal realm. A black substance emanated from the bodies of these beings. The Grand Unity Golden Immortals of the Immortal-Demonic Great Universe could already communicate with the Heavenly Dao of the entire Immortal-Demonic Great Universe. Therefore, under the warning of the Heavenly Dao, the Grand Unity Golden Immortals of both the Immortal and Demonic realms mobilized and went to the place where these beings appeared, eliminating them with lightning speed."
"However, even after eliminating these beings, the substances they left behind, which caused plants to wither, could not be completely cleared even by Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Eventually, the Heavenly Dao expelled those evil substances back through the passage. The Heavenly Dao also delivered a prophecy: in ten thousand years, nine passages would open within the Immortal-Demonic Great Universe. That universe would launch a large-scale invasion of the Immortal-Demonic Great Universe. One of these passages would be on this very planet. At that time, beings at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level would appear from that universe, leading to a great war between the Immortal-Demonic Great Universe and that universe."
Upon hearing this, Su Han's mind immediately went to the wilting disease, as it also caused plants to wither.
Su Han was eager to know if it was indeed the wilting disease, so he asked, "Immortal Chu Yun, besides causing plants to wither, what other characteristics did that substance possess? What do you mean by Grand Unity Golden Immortals being unable to clear it completely? Can Grand Unity Golden Immortals clear some of it?"
Immortal Chu Yun nodded, "Indeed, Grand Unity Golden Immortals could clear some of it. However, during the clearing process, the Grand Unity Golden Immortals of the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm were not in accord. Neither side used their full spiritual power. Hence, the substance could not be completely cleared. If the Grand Unity Golden Immortals had all used their true strength at that time, those substances could certainly have been cleared. However, compared to the interests of the entire Immortal-Demonic Great Universe, the Grand Unity Golden Immortals prioritized their animosity towards each other."
"Later, under the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, nine Golden Immortals from the Immortal-Demonic Great Universe were dispatched to guard the planets near where the passages would appear. I, Chu Yun, was fortunate enough to receive the Heavenly Dao's guidance and came to this place."
Hearing this, Su Han understood. The possibility that those substances were the wilting disease was very high. The main reason the Grand Unity Golden Immortals did not want to clear the wilting disease was the excessive amount of spiritual power required. They did not want to weaken themselves, as it would allow their cultivation rivals to exploit the opportunity and kill them.
Su Han asked, "I see. Immortal Chu Yun, did the Heavenly Dao instruct you to guard this place and ask you to do anything else?"
Immortal Chu Yun turned his gaze to Su Han and said, "As for other matters of the Heavenly Dao, they are not things that a mere Celestial Immortal like you can know."
As Immortal Chu Yun spoke, his face displayed a profoundly knowledgeable expression, akin to someone who had witnessed something the other had not.
At this moment, Su Han's heart held little turmoil. It was indeed the reality; his own strength was insufficient, thus he was not qualified to communicate with the Heavenly Dao, nor would he be noticed by it.
Immortal Chu Yun stated, "In three years, this planet may be destroyed due to the invasion from the outer universe. Celestial Immortal Su Han, whether your forces continue to remain on this planet or leave is entirely up to you."
After speaking, Immortal Chu Yun vanished instantly.
As Immortal Chu Yun departed, Su Han could no longer sense his aura. This meant Immortal Chu Yun had instantly traveled over a hundred kilometers away, a speed far beyond even light-speed flight.
Su Han remarked, "Such incredible speed. It seems this is a high-level magical technique or divine ability."
Su Han surveyed his surroundings and released his aura.
The Dragon Country people who had been guarding the perimeter quickly withdrew their formations.
Several individuals approached Su Han.
"Congratulations, Minister Su Han, on successfully advancing to the Celestial Immortal realm."
Su Han nodded, "Yes. From now on, the Dragon Country's influence can extend into the territories formerly controlled by Earth Immortals like Xiang Ming."
Having reached the Celestial Immortal realm, Su Han now surpassed many Earth Immortals on this planet, Chu Yun. With other Celestial Immortals having left Chu Yun Planet, Su Han was now second only to Immortal Chu Yun. This strength could be applied in all aspects.
Everyone rejoiced upon hearing Su Han's words. To develop, they needed to acquire more resources. Obtaining these resources required venturing out. Remaining confined to a small area would prevent them from finding more resources.
The Dragon Country people began to spread their influence across a wider area, encompassing the territories of Earth Immortals like Xiang Ming. Xiang Ming's former dominion spanned seven million square kilometers, a vast land where the Dragon Country could achieve great things.
Su Han declared, "Alright, everyone else, you may withdraw!!"
After everyone else had retreated, Su Han began to ponder the matters concerning the other universe.
The tier of this universe must be at least at the level of the Immortal-Demonic Great Universe. Currently, the Dragon Country's strength was far from capable of facing such a threat. After all, even the Grand Unity Golden Immortals of the Immortal-Demonic Great Universe required the aid of the Heavenly Dao to confront these threats. Now, the Dragon Country's only reliance was Su Han himself. And Su Han's reliance was the portal system.
What Su Han now needed to consider was the level of the portal system and the power disparity between the Heavenly Dao and the outer universe.
