The crimson aurora of the Fifth Star Ring’s sky was far from ordinary, filled with unparalleled mystery.
After all, it covered the entire Fifth Star Ring!
Beyond the extraordinary nature of the aurora itself, twelve patrollers from the Immortal Capital resided within it year-round.
These twelve were all Lower Immortals.
However, they didn’t appear easily. They only descended when there was a calamity that affected the Fifth Star Ring.

At that moment, the aurora disappeared and the patrollers were hidden.
This was because… the second stage of the Immortal Capital’s trial had reached a critical point…
A point that required the guardians of four starfields to emerge.
In the pitch-black sky, the four stars that had appeared were rising from the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Starfields of the Fifth Star Ring.
In the south was the Great Immortal Mountain!
Within the grand silver palace on the mountain, an elder in silver robes emerged. This elder, radiating an aura of immortal grandeur, was surrounded by a mysterious mist that moved with him as he ascended towards the clouds.
His cultivation that shook the world and stirred time merely spread out slightly, but it caused the sky to surge, displaying the might to split the world apart.
This old man was none other than the ancestor of the Great Immortal Mountain, the Azure Peak Immortal Lord!
He was also the appointed guardian of the Southern Starfield… His cultivation base was Lower Immortal!
As he ascended, his figure grew taller, and the silver light emanating from him grew ever brighter.
Eventually, it illuminated the entire Southern Starfield.
He became the sole source of light in the dark night without the aurora, visible to all beings in the south, who looked up in awe and reverence.

Simultaneously, similar awe-inspiring events were unfolding in the Northern Starfield’s Sword Immortal Sect and Eastern Starfield’s Star Ring Tower.
In the north, a sword aura erupted, seemingly capable of slashing through the heavens and annihilating gods. This sword aura, a radiant beam, shot straight into the sky, cutting through all in its path with an unstoppable force, like a mountain-crushing, sea-parting wave of destruction.
Under this overwhelming sword energy, even Quasi-Immortals bowed their heads, Rulers trembled, and Soul Accumulation lost their spirit.
The endless sword light eventually coalesced into an immortal.
His sword was called Blue Teal, so people called him the Blue Teal Sword Immortal.
Dressed in blue, with gray hair and an ancient sword by his side, he ascended to the peak of the sky.
In the east, instead of a sword, a woman emerged. She had eyebrows like distant mountains, and eyes like autumnal water.
She wore an intricately embroidered palace robe, adorned with gold and silver threads that depicted lifelike dragons and phoenixes
The jade belt around her waist accentuated her graceful figure, and her long, jet-black hair cascaded like a waterfall, gently swaying in the wind and emitting a faint, delicate fragrance.
Her every movement, every smile, seemed to pluck the deepest strings of one’s heart.
As she walked, her skirt fluttered lightly, and the beings of the Eastern Starfield bowed their heads, murmuring her name but daring not to gaze directly at her.
Star Luan© Immortal Lord.
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
Finally, it was the Western Starfield.
When the astonishing figures from the other three directions had emerged, an unremarkable old man stepped out from within the Dao Immortal Sect in the West.
He wore coarse, mud-stained clothes, looking every bit like an old farmer, as if he had been interrupted while tending to his fields.
Reluctantly, he stepped forward, still holding a rough wooden staff.
It was his companion through years of toil.
The staff was covered in cracks, bearing witness to endless days of labor from dawn to dusk.
He shook his head as he ascended into the sky.
His steps were slow and laborious, as if each one crossed a lifetime.
There were no dazzling lights, no grand displays, just an ordinary, unassuming journey.
The afterglow of the radiance from the other three figures cast shadows across his wrinkled face.
When he walked step by step to the edge of the sky and looked at the East, South, and North, a resonant voice came from the South—the voice of Azure Peak Immortal Lord.
“Poison Monarch, you’re late!”
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
“Every time, you’re the last to arrive. What, were you busy tending to your flowers and plants again?”
Star Luan of the East also chuckled.
As for the Blue Teal Sword Immortal of the North, he didn’t say a word.
Hearing the Dao voices and looking at the three people who were separated by an endless distance, the old man looked a little impatient.
This was especially so when he saw that the bodies of these three parties were all shining like stars. The old man let out a cold snort and black light instantly spread out from his body, spreading out in the sky.
Just like the supreme star, just like the other three parties, the light he emitted spread through the sky.
However, compared to the other three parties which were either gentle, sharp, or cold, his light fused with the night sky and emitted a dense evil.
It was the complete opposite of the temperament he had displayed earlier. His voice was also cold.
“I don’t have time to chat with you, and I don’t like the way you address me. If any of you dare to call me those two words I despise again, I won’t hesitate to add a few more poison-related Ordinances to your jurisdiction.”
The old man spoke sinisterly.
He had many names.
Virtue Viscount, Vast Immortal Lord, Elder Great Immortal, and the Poison Lord.
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
The first three were names he gave himself, while the last one was bestowed upon him by others.
Upon hearing the old man’s words, the Azure Peak Immortal Lord smiled slightly, while the Star Luan was deep in thought. However, the Blue Teal Sword Immortal slowly raised his head and stared at the Western Starfield before suddenly speaking.
“You’ve reached the critical point?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Azure Peak’s expression froze and Star Luan’s eyes revealed a strange glint.
When it came to the Blue Teal Sword Immortal, the Poison Lord of the Dao Immortal Sect, who resembled an old farmer, clearly had more patience. Upon hearing the other’s words, he slowly nodded.
“I’ve already touched that line, but I’m still missing a part of the karma.”
It was as though he wasn’t willing to say anything more. However, after saying this, the Poison Lord’s expression became impatient.
“Hurry up. Don’t waste time.”
The Blue Teal Sword Immortal narrowed his eyes but didn’t ask further.
Seeing this, as the person who opened the liner duty this time, the Azure Peak Immortal Lord of the Southern Region slowly spoke.
“Since everyone is here, according to the rules of the Immortal Capital, it’s time to activate the inheritance segment of the second stage of the trial. This way, the hunt will be more intense.”
“If we can eventually select promising candidates, it would be a great achievement for us, allowing us to shorten our time as guardians and return to the Immortal Capital sooner.”
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
With that, the Azure Peak Immortal Lord raised his hand. Immediately, a huge mountain peak formed by laws and rules materialized beside him.
In an instant, it became a majestic peak, floating in the sky of the Southern Starfield.
All the people with tokens in the Southern Starfield could see and sense it!
Blue Teal Sword Immortal in the north also raised his hand. Sword energy permeated the air, transforming into countless sword intent that gathered in the sky of the Northern Starfield, forming a sword rain that spread in all directions.
It was the same for the East. The inheritance from the Star Luan was a green ring.
Its ancient aura and inherent mystery made the ring appear simple at first glance, but all those in the Eastern Starfield who held a token experienced a resounding shock in their minds upon seeing it.
The gazes here have swept over the eastern, southern, and northern starfields.
The Poison Lord of Dao Immortal Sect also raised his hand. Instead of displaying any divine abilities, he took out a black bamboo slip and crushed it in his palm.
In an instant, black light spread from the bamboo slip.
The sky, already black after the disappearance of the aurora, became even darker as his previously emitted light was also black, merging into the surrounding darkness.
However, the black light released from the shattered bamboo slip surpassed all else, as if it was the truest essence of blackness—the very source of darkness. Compared to it, the previous night sky seemed almost bright.
Now, as it spread, the entire Western Starfield was completely pitch-black.
All the light in the world was about to be extinguished and they couldn’t exist during this time.
It was the same even for spells and Dao arts that formed light.
This scene was completely different from the other three starfields. All living beings could see the inheritances of the other three starfields.
However, in the west, all one could see when they raised their heads was pitch-black.
This scene also attracted the attention of the other three guardians. All of them had strange expressions.
They were well aware that there was actually an unspoken mutual understanding in the inheritance segment of the second stage of the Immortal Capital’s hunting trial.
This was because the inheritance that spread out had to be unique. In other words, after taking it out, if someone successfully comprehended it, even they wouldn’t be able to continue possessing it.
Although it was called an inheritance, it was actually the same as the Dao Mark Authority and contained a trace of Ordinance!
Hence, it was self-evident how precious it was.
Hence, most of these inheritances were prepared for their disciples. Only those they acknowledged could easily comprehend the essence.
However, on the surface, the token holders in guardian’s starfield could comprehend it. It was just that they weren’t recognized, so the difficulty was naturally astonishing. The possibility of success was extremely small.
They couldn’t comprehend the essence.
This unspoken mutual understanding had continued for countless years.
However, they still needed a pretense.
But now… the Poison Lord here had even discarded the pretense.
The inheritance within the black light emitted by the bamboo slip required not only the token but also possessing specific attributes to comprehend it.
Other than specific people, the others didn’t even have a chance.
“Forget it, this old guy has always been protective of his own. His Western
Starfield also has a shortage of talents. Such a method…”
Azure Peak shook his head and ignored this. With a sway of his body, he disappeared without a trace.
The other two sides were the same.
As for the Poison Lord of the Dao Immortal Sect, he had long left.
At that moment, the sky of the Fifth Star Ring rumbled and the inheritances shone in the three regions.
Only the Western Region was pitch-black.
In this darkness, to the east of the center of the Western Region, on the vast land, there was a restricted area of the Li family.
There were 9,000 tall towers here.
It formed an astonishing ancient array formation.
The tall tower in the center was a million feet high, piercing through the night and extending deep into the sky.
There was a person sitting cross-legged on it.
It was the only star in the West among the eight stars of the Fifth Star Ring.
Li Mengtu.
At that moment, he raised his head and stared at the night sky.
He knew that this was an opportunity given by his master.
Only he could comprehend this.
“Once I succeed, I will have five authorities. Moreover, this one contains a trace of Ordinance. This will increase my chances of becoming an immortal in the future!”
At the thought of this, he took a deep breath and determination appeared in his eyes.
He was very clear that with his combat strength, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to enter the immortal realm. Once he became an immortal in the future, his family would completely rise!
His family had produced a Summer Immortal before. That was the ancestor.
It was rumored that his ancestor wasn’t a native cultivator of the Fifth Star Ring but someone from another star ring.
In the end, he perished here in obscurity.
His descendants continued his legacy, extending it to the present day.
Li Mengtu was clear that this rumor… was true.
His clan was already in a poor state. Yet, through sheer talent and relentless effort, he fought and struggled through battles, ultimately joining the sect of the West’s Lower Immortal.
“I want to continue walking!”
At the thought of this, Li Mengtu stared at the sky and began to comprehend.
At the same time, on the Main Dao Cliff, Xu Qing was also looking at the sky.
He stared at the night that suddenly descended.
Vaguely, he seemed to have seen a huge flower.
On each petal was the face of a peerlessly beautiful woman.
“This is…”
