Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

598. The Supreme Summons, Divine Realm in Crisis!

Before long, Lin Fei arrived at the Ancient Covenant headquarters.

Led by some headquarters personnel, Lin Fei entered the grand hall of the headquarters.

At this moment, many True Immortals and Martial Gods were already present. All of them had been seen by Lin Fei at the Martial Ancestor ceremony. Each bore a grave expression.

"Master, what has happened?" Lin Fei quietly asked the Great Dream Ancestor.

The Great Dream Ancestor shook his head and replied softly, "I don't know. All I know is that the Supreme has summoned us Martial Ancestors and True Immortals. No one knows the specifics. However, it's very rare for the Supreme to appear, let alone summon all of us.

Such a gathering usually only happens when the Ancient Covenant faces life-or-death situations, or when we engage in decisive battles with other forces. But this time, it seems our Ancient Covenant isn't in any immediate danger, nor are we preparing for a decisive battle with any force."

The Great Dream Ancestor was uncertain, and other Martial Ancestors and True Immortals shared the same puzzled expressions. Clearly, no one knew the exact situation. Perhaps only the Supreme knew.

The two Supremes of the Ancient Covenant were the pillars of the entire covenant. While the Martial Ancestor and True Immortals constituted the covenant's elite combat strength and core, the two Supremes ensured the covenant's formidable status. It was because of these two Supremes that the Ancient Covenant continued to stand tall in the Divine Realm, its reputation resounding far and wide.

"Buzz."

In the next moment, two figures materialized in the grand hall. They were none other than the two Supremes of the Ancient Covenant, the Azure Emperor Supreme, and the White Cloud Supreme!

Back then, the Azure Emperor Supreme was a Martial Ancestor, and the White Cloud Supreme was a True Immortal. Both had risen from the Ancient Covenant to the Divine Realm. Later, they ascended to become Supremes!

This indicated that Martial Ancestors and True Immortals from the Ancient Continent could still achieve the rank of Supreme.

However, over the years, the Ancient Covenant still only had two Supremes. It demonstrated just how difficult it was to become a Supreme. Many Martial Ancestors and True Immortals had their cultivation stagnate, unable to find the path forward.

Indeed, once one achieved the status of Martial Ancestor or True Immortal, many lost their motivation. After all, Martial Ancestors and True Immortals, as long as they remained in the Divine Realm, were immortal and indestructible.

As long as the Divine Realm faced no issues, neither would they. Even becoming a Supreme merely made them more powerful. Why expend effort and energy to continue cultivating?

When a cultivator lost motivation or had insufficient drive, their cultivation efficiency diminished greatly. Becoming Supreme seemed to hold little significance for many Martial Ancestors and True Immortals.

At this moment, the two Supremes scanned the room with solemn expressions.

The Azure Emperor Supreme slowly spoke, "Apart from the three Hermits still traveling, all other Martial Ancestors and True Immortals are present. This time, we have summoned you to prepare for battle. This battle will be extremely difficult. You must prepare with all your might, even to the point of risking your lives. It could be a year, one hundred years, or perhaps just a few months.

No one knows when the war will begin. During this time, you must do everything possible to increase your strength and combat capability. This time, it concerns the entire Divine Realm. Every Supreme, every Martial Ancestor, and True Immortal will go to battle. If anyone is unwilling to fight, I will personally ensure they are not spared!"

The Azure Emperor Supreme's tone was unyielding, filled with a menacing intent. Although True Immortals and Martial Ancestors were immortal and indestructible, the Supremes had the power to kill.

Supremes could completely imprison the Great Dao that True Immortals had merged with. Ultimately, they could forcibly separate the True Immortal from the Dao of the Divine Realm.

Naturally, this would result in the True Immortal's death. Killing a Martial Ancestor was even easier. The power of a Supreme was boundless, making the killing of a Martial Ancestor effortless.

Thus, the so-called immortality of True Immortals and Martial Ancestor was, in fact, relative. Without accidents or dangers, they were indeed immortal. But if an accident occurred, and they were killed, they would still perish!

The crowd was puzzled. What could possibly threaten the Ancient Covenant, or even place the entire Divine Realm in danger? What could force even the Supremes to mobilize urgently?

"Supreme, what exactly are we facing?" Unity True Immortal couldn't help but ask.

The other True Immortals exchanged glances, equally perplexed.

Only some ancient True Immortals showed deep, contemplative expressions as if they vaguely guessed the reason.

The White Cloud Supreme slowly said, "Some True Immortals and Martial Ancestors know, but some do not, that our Divine Realm is merely a realm. Beyond our Divine Realm lies the vast chaos. In this chaos, there are numerous realms.

Typically, it is the Supremes who venture into the chaos to explore and roam. The chaos is filled with opportunities but also with great dangers. For instance, realms must never reveal their locations to each other. Some powerful beings devour realms to enhance themselves.

This time, our Divine Realm has encountered trouble. A Ruler of the Dark Demon Domain, the Dark Demon Lord, has discovered the location of our Divine Realm.

Hence, the Dark Demon Lord will soon send the army of the Dark Demon Domain to conquer our Divine Realm. The Dark Demon Lord's true aim is to completely devour the Divine Realm or transform it into nourishment to bolster his strength.

Our Divine Realm lacks a Ruler and cannot withstand the Dark Demon Lord. However, once he enters the Divine Realm, he is no longer a Ruler, thus he will seek ways to gradually weaken the Divine Realm.

To weaken the Divine Realm, the best method is to wage war. Constant slaughter, destruction, and devastation will naturally diminish the Divine Realm. Your sole advantage is that within the Divine Realm, True Immortals are immortal. Even Martial Ancestors are difficult to kill. Your immortality is your only advantage.

However, the strength of the Dark Demon Domain is formidable. This could be an epoch-spanning, protracted war that concerns the survival of the entire Divine Realm. If the Divine Realm is destroyed by the Dark Demon Lord, True Immortals, being closely linked to the Divine Realm, will suffer the same fate.

Similarly, Martial Ancestor will fare no better. Without the Divine Realm, entering the chaos would mean certain death. So, return and prepare. Do everything in your power to enhance your strength!"

The White Cloud Supreme explained clearly, laying out the cause and effect. He even analyzed the pros and cons thoroughly. If the Divine Realm were to be destroyed, the Supremes might still escape and wander the chaos.

But what about Martial Ancestors and True Immortals? They would face inevitable death!

Martial Ancestor and True Immortals had no choice. They had to fight to the death. That was the only way!

"Alright, return to your preparations. If the dark demons of the Dark Demon Domain arrive, I will notify you."

"Thank you, Supreme!"

Thus, Lin Fei, the Great Dream Ancestor, and the others quickly got up and left the Ancient Covenant headquarters.

Lin Fei and the Great Dream Ancestor exchanged looks, seemingly unable to believe the words of the Supremes. However, the Supremes would not deceive them about such matters. Since the Supremes said the situation was dire, it truly was.

"Master."

"Lin Fei, the Supremes have made it very clear. This is a matter of life and death for the Divine Realm. We have no choice but to fight to the death. True Immortals may be immortal, but we Martial Ancestors are different. When the war begins, it is likely that we Martial Ancestors will suffer the most casualties. If we die, we truly perish. So, when you return, do whatever it takes to enhance your strength, especially your survival abilities."

Lin Fei nodded and said, "Master, I understand."

"Alright, go back and prepare. I must also make my preparations."

With that, the Great Dream Ancestor and Lin Fei parted ways and flew back to their respective abodes.
