Sima Bei's death sent shockwaves through the Sima Clan's upper echelons, enraging Patriarch Sima Yan, who had high hopes for his talented son with a rich True Spirit Bloodline. Elders investigated and determined the killer was a mysterious cultivator at least at the Divinity Transformation stage, shrouded in an enigmatic power that obscured their identity and appearance, and audaciously remaining at the scene—likely a mere loose cultivator. Outraged by the insolence, the clan seethed, and newly advanced First-Layer Void Refining Supreme Elder Sima Lun arrived, volunteering to personally crush the insolent foe.

"Supreme Elder?"

"Impossible! The Supreme Elder has truly broken through to Refining Void?"

"Haha, incredible! The Sima family now boasts a Void Refining Cultivator at last."

"Perhaps now the Sima family stands as the top among the Nine Great True Spirit Clans."

"Not so sure, rumors say Supreme Elders from other clans are reviving too and starting to reach Refining Void."

"With the Spiritual Energy Revival sweeping the Void Realm, heaven and earth's growth has fully unshackled itself. Cultivators like us can push onward at last. What a grand era of rivalry this is—the road to immortality has truly opened!"

Sima family's many elders chattered with excitement.

Joy filled them as they beheld Supreme Elder Sima Lun's emergence.

Tales of this fabled forebear had reached their ears long ago.

Born a hundred thousand years back, the Supreme Elder possessed an extraordinary bloodline gift right from the start.

In mere centuries, he reached Divinity Transformation, and in under two millennia, he hit Divinity Transformation Perfection.

Sadly, Heaven and Earth Laws back then blocked any further steps.

So he sealed himself in a Life Source Stone, biding time for spiritual qi's resurgence.

Many Sima family Supreme Elders followed this very path.

Countless ancestors lie sealed in the Sima family's rear mountains—who can say how many?

All these forebears await the immortality path's unveiling.

Supreme Elder Sima Lun seized the moment to awaken today.

Just a short retreat later, he shattered limits and stepped into First-Layer Void Refining.

His talent in cultivation defies belief.

Little surprise he's the Sima family's famed legend.

"Haha, I've merely begun the journey."

"Heaven and earth have transformed vastly; soon you all could enter Void Refining too."

Sima Lun boomed with laughter, brimming with delight.

Truth be told, five Supreme Elders revived alongside him this time.

Yet the other four fell in their breakthrough attempts.

Only he triumphed into Void Refining.

Even with True Spirit Bloodline, Void Refining ascent offers no sure success.

Death risks loom large in the breakthrough.

But victory grants ten thousand years of life.

And in this Void Realm era, immortality might beckon him.

"That's splendid news."

"With the Supreme Elder stepping in personally, that sneaky thief has nowhere to run."

Clan Leader Sima Yan exclaimed with glee.

He realized Supreme Elder Sima Lun's involvement was pure overkill.

Just a mere offender—why dispatch a Void Refining powerhouse?

Yet Supreme Elder Sima Lun, fresh from breakthrough, craved a display.

This chance let him warn rivals and make a statement.

Showing other True Spirit Clans the Sima family now held a Void Refining expert.

One move served many purposes.

"I shall return soon."

Supreme Elder Sima Lun declared coolly.

In a blink, he streaked away toward Sima Bei's death site.

A teleportation array linked the spots, letting him arrive fast with little delay.

......

Boom~~

Soon enough, Supreme Elder Sima Lun hurtled into Green Bird Forest.

His spiritual sense swept everywhere, pinpointing two distant cultivators right away.

One felt like a frail Qi Refining practitioner.

The other radiated bottomless depths—the clear slayer of Sima Bei.

Without pause, he soared straight there.

Now at First-Layer Void Refining, he deemed himself unmatched across the North Continent.

Swoosh!

Instantly, Supreme Elder Sima Lun materialized before Jiang Fan and Chu Qiu Dao.

Dreadful pressure radiated from him, his Domain Power unfurling to blanket endless expanses.

He towered like a god.

"Damn it."

"This old monster truly reached Void Refining—we're finished now."

Chu Qiu Dao's expression twisted in shock at Supreme Elder Sima Lun's arrival.

His earlier doubts proved spot on.

Ancient hidden powers were awakening successively.

Thanks to the Void Realm's Spiritual Energy Revival and shifting Heaven and Earth Laws, those ancient relics seized chances to advance.

They awoke and climbed to Void Refining.

Inevitable, really.

These relics all sat at Divinity Transformation Perfection, with eons of buildup.

Revived now, they led the pack for Void Refining hopes.

"Oh, a real Void Refining cultivator after all."

Jiang Fan arched a brow at the surprise visitor.

He'd sensed the North Continent hid depths, its human powers surpassing East Continent ones.

This confirmed it fully.

Eastern Continent humans hadn't produced a Void Refining yet.

Northern Continent humans had one now.

Proof enough of the Northern Continent True Spirit Clans' might.

Partly because the North Continent faced fewer foes.

East Continent teemed with factions.

Constant clashes and massacres devoured resources and slew countless prodigies.

North Continent saw sporadic fights, but far less ferocity overall.

Thus, True Spirit Clans here conserved vast strength intact.

"You dare slay a Sima Clan member? Kid, you've got guts."

"In countless years, scarce few have slain True Spirit Clan heirs."
