In the Land of Origin.
This was the halo of the Primeval Star, the center of the Hongmeng Universe. However, it was not a halo made of meteorite fragments, but a huge celestial mass.
The entire Land of Origin had a diameter of five million light years, and the halo was 100,000 light years wide. There were hundreds of trillions of stars and almost the same number of planets with life.
This was definitely the place with the most vigorous life force in the entire Hongmeng Universe.
There was a saying in the Immortal Cultivation World that when Pan Gu created the world, his body turned into all living things and was the origin of life. The Primeval Star was formed from Pan Gu's brain, and the origin of life was formed from Pan Gu's heart.
The heart and the brain were the core of life and had extraordinary significance.
In fact, who could prove what happened 10 billion years ago?
Everything was just the result of the later Immortal Cultivators. In ancient times, in order to find the origin of life, the Sages carried out a large-scale exploration of the entire Hongmeng Universe. They kept tracing back to the origin of life and finally found the Land of Origin, the Primeval Star. Thus, they came to such a widely accepted conclusion.
However, there were many secrets about the Primeval Star that no one could explain clearly.
For example, although the Land of Origin was known as the origin of life, the Spiritual Qi there was not abundant. It could even be said that it was scarce. Therefore, although the Spiritual Qi in the Land of Origin was vigorous, it did not become a part of the Cultivation World. Let alone the Greater World, there was not even a small Cultivation World.
Of course, this was not without explanation. It was the Nirvana Tribulation.
It was because of the Nirvana Tribulation that occurred once every 90,000 years from the Primeval Star, although the Land of Origin was the birthplace of life, it was difficult for the life there to form a long-term stable evolution. Even if the experts in the Cultivation World could resolve the Nirvana Tribulation, the Land of Origin was too close to the Primeval Star. Every time the Nirvana Tribulation occurred, the Land of Origin would be affected and would usher in a mass extinction.
For the life in the Land of Origin, 90,000 years was a cycle. Unless they developed from nothing and developed a civilization that could resist the Nirvana Tribulation, they would return to dust and start a new round of evolution.
At this moment, on 'Calamity', the largest life planet in the Land of Origin, a large teleportation portal built by the Three Purities Sect was already crowded with people.
The Three Purities Sect's rallying power was absolutely unique in the Immortal Cultivation World. Moreover, the Nirvana Tribulation was indeed the most eye-catching event in the Immortal Cultivation World. It was closely related to the fate of all Immortal Cultivators. At this time, no one would stay out of it. Basically, the first-rate Immortal Cultivation Sects would send their main forces. Some second-rate Immortal Cultivation Sects, in order to increase their influence, status, and connections, would also spare no effort to participate.
The weaker forces couldn't do it. Even if they wanted to come, they would be dissuaded by the Three Purities Sect. After all, the strength of these third-tier forces was limited. They couldn't help at all. If they were in danger, they would have to divert their attention to rescue them.
On the big square, all the top forces were gathered. Those who were qualified to stand here were all famous figures in the Immortal Cultivation World. None of them were ordinary people.
The boundaries of the many forces were also very clear. They were basically divided by the continents. The main combat power was naturally the few top Immortal Cultivation Worlds in the Vast Thousand World.
Dongsheng Divine Continent, Aparagodaniya Continent, Nanbei Continent, Uttarakuru Continent.
Further out, there were some second-rate camps, such as Sishui Continent, Yuhuo Continent, Leixiao Continent, Houtu Continent, Fengling Continent, and so on.
Although these continents were far smaller in scale than the Five Great Continents, the forces in each region were more concentrated. They were basically under the control of a sect or a big family. With concentrated resources, they could develop steadily. Over time, they were not inferior to the top Immortal Cultivation Sects in the Five Great Continents.
A red flame rose. The strongest person in the Aparagodaniya Continent, the Inferno Grand Sage, said coldly, "Luo Xuanji really doesn't give us any face. The Nirvana Tribulation is approaching, but not a single person from her Spiritual Mountain Sect has shown up."
The strongest person in the Dongsheng Divine Continent, the Great Sage Douzhan, laughed. "Luo Xuanji has always been unsociable. Every time the Sage Rulers of our continents invite her, she doesn't give us any face. It's harder to invite her than to invite Yan Wang Ye."
The strongest person in the Nanbei Continent, the Great Sage Shrouding Heaven, said expressionlessly, "So what if she doesn't come? The Nirvana Tribulation is not something that can be resolved with our strength. If the Great Emperor doesn't show up, you and I will die here."
The one from the Uttarakuru Continent was a Divine King Realm demon from the Beast Alliance. He lowered his head and remained silent. He thought to himself, 'You're all powerful Sage Rulers. I'm just here to go through the motions. I don't have the ability to deal with the Nirvana Tribulation.'
At this moment, a bright stream of light streaked across the sky.
It was the group of people from the Spiritual Mountain Sect who had arrived late.
Su Chen was shocked when he saw the scene of many strong people.
'Damn, there are so many Sage Rulers!'
Phoenix Dawn and the other disciples of the Spiritual Mountain Sect kept quiet out of fear. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
If Lady Providence hadn't been injured, they could have been more high-profile. But now … it was better to keep a low profile. This scene was too scary.
As for the people from the Celestial Medicine Tower, they were all dumbfounded.
After descending to the ground, Luo Xuanji remained expressionless. He was as cold as ice, completely unapproachable. He didn't respond to the provocations of the few top-tier Sage Rulers.
Su Chen, on the other hand, was looking at them with interest.
There were quite a lot of strong people here.
His initial estimate was that there were more than ten Sage Rulers!
Other than the few Great Sages with top-tier combat strength, there were also some Sage Rulers who kept a low profile. Their auras were also terrifying.
There were even more Divine Kings. Two hundred?
Three hundred?
Anyway, he couldn't count them.
Like Su Chen, who was at the Heaven's Equal Realm, he was completely used as a backdrop. There were probably thousands of them.
Not all the top experts in the Great Thousand World were here, but at least a third of them were definitely present.
A grand event of this scale would only appear during the Great Nirvana Tribulation.
Su Chen couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if the Dragon Lady used the Law of Darkness here. Once everyone was infected, wouldn't half of the cultivation world be destroyed?
Of course, Su Chen was only thinking about it. If he really dared to court death … Not to mention Lady Providence, even Empress Skyreach wouldn't be able to save him.
"Everyone is here. Prepare to set off. The first layer of the Primeval Star will open in six hours. It's the best time to enter the Primeval Star safely."
At that moment, a sacred light descended from the sky. Within the sacred light, a man with a dignified appearance and an awe-inspiring aura slowly descended. He wore a purple and gold Daoist robe.
The Three Purities Sect, the Skyless Sect's Patriarch!
Su Chen had seen his statue in the Courtyard of Holy Light, and now he finally saw him in person.
"Patriarch Skyless, which Great Emperor will come for this Great Nirvana Tribulation?" someone asked.
