Wen Ping planned to collect the corpses of the Three Extremes and Evil Moon Princess for conversion into elite shadows to bolster Jinzhilou's intelligence. Sword Demon returned with the captured and wounded Ye Wuping, whom Wen Ping ordered sealed and assigned to tree-planting labor, her fate hinging on future usefulness. Inspired by Wen Ping's guidance, Sword Demon committed to dual cultivation of Meridian Gates and magic. The auction ended with a prized Five-Vortex Map selling for 770,000 White Crystals to an Earth Unrestricted Lower Realm expert, igniting rumors of deadly conflicts among vortex map buyers as they leave Jianshui City.

Amid the tense eagerness of Jianshui City inhabitants, a day that ought to have flown by stretched out endlessly.

Never before had they craved tomorrow's dawn like today; never had the next Immortal Daily gripped them with such burning anticipation.

Such thrill last struck on the eve of the wedding night!

As dawn's glow on day two bathed the land, masses flocked to Immortal Daily shops, crowding outside for the moment doors would unlock.

For example, in Jianshui City, Jianzhi Pavilion's over a hundred city outlets brimmed without fail—streets clogged by throngs dying to snag the Immortal Daily.

Doors barely creaked open when those hungry stares exploded into pure glee.

Snatchers of the Immortal Daily buzzed with frenzy, thrusting papers skyward while hollering, shoving free without sparing a peek.

Not peeking weighed nothing, but one glimpse hurled shocks through the soul!

(Thanks for the 150 reward from E-Xinc Family...

Monthly passes, please!

Monthly passes, please!

Yesterday's post ran late, so today's drops early.)

The Divine Profound Realm middle-aged man clutching the Immortal Daily quivered, blurting out uncontrollably, "32 people! In last night’s Vortex Map battle, 32 Earth Unrestricted Experts fell, and 30 Five-star Influences are about to decline!"

"No way!"

"30 Five-star Influences are going to decline."

Shock etched every single face.

Did last night unleash true rivers of blood?

Anticipation-packed folks snagged seats or spots after grabbing the Immortal Daily, poring over its pages with fierce focus.

The prime story on the Immortal Daily's right unpacked last night's clash intel in full.

"The Patriarch of the Wang Family in Jianshui City died in last night’s battle."

"So did the Patriarch of the Luo Family in Water City!"

"My goodness, these formerly untouchable Earth Unrestricted experts fell one by one in last night’s battle; it truly was a terrifying night."

"31 Earth Unrestricted Lower Realm individuals died, and even an Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm expert perished. The Yang Family, of all families, the Yang Family. Wasn’t their Patriarch hailed as invincible in the Middle Realm? And yet he died in the Vortex Map battle last night."

"No way, the Yang Family Patriarch is dead! Does it say who killed him?"

"Yes, yes, yes! My heavens, he was slain by 10 Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm experts working together because the Patriarch of the Shui Family gifted him the Vortex Map valued at 770,000 White Crystals. A disaster brought elsewhere! The Patriarch of the Shui Family skillfully turned a dire situation into an opportunity; he lost 770,000 White Crystals, while the Yang Family Patriarch lost his life!"

"It’s truly breathtaking! Just nine Vortex Maps prompted such a terrifying storm of blood; the Vortex Map the Immortal Sect Leader crafted holds an alarming appeal to Earth Unrestricted experts, enough to have them risk their lives to fight for it."

The masses marveled in stunned chatter.

Meanwhile, Immortal Daily copies spreading past Red Leaf Sect borders left Xuan Court Pavilion and Yin Yang Family vassals gawking mutely at the pages for ages.

Nine Vortex Maps claimed 32 Earth Unrestricted experts' lives, dooming 30 Five-star Influences to downfall—shock defying comprehension.

For hundreds of years before Immortal Sect rose, no such wholesale slaughter of Earth Unrestricted experts had struck.

Triggered solely by nine Vortex Maps!

Earth Unrestricted powerhouses across Red Domain's other reaches reeled in confusion.

Are Vortex Maps truly worth that frenzy?

"Why fight for them? Just send a talented disciple to join the Immortal Sect to have a chance to purchase one."

"Why risk lives when there’s such an opportunity?"

Doubts churning, genius youths near Red Leaf Sect lands streamed toward nearby Master’s Dao Mazes.

Loot Earth Unrestricted experts killed for became buyable post-Sect entry; ditching Immortal Sect now would toss away heaven-sent luck!

How many lifetime shots like this exist?

Loads of Five-star Influences vowed instantly, hustling clan prodigies off to claim this boon at Master’s Dao Maze.

Long trek over, they hit the Master’s Dao Maze teeming with mobs—countless Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm whizzes outside, Mountain Suppression Realm elites sprinkled in too.

Who would have thought that mighty powers would actually let go of even their Mountain Suppression Realm prodigies!

Everything just for the opportunity to acquire a Vortex Map!

"Darn it, only 30 spots remain for entry, but countless prodigies are vying for them all at once right now."

"I’ll take the gamble. If I manage to succeed, it’s a priceless treasure that even Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm powerhouses battle over desperately. If we obtain one, our path to greatness in the future is guaranteed!"

Filled with such aspirations, every Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm and Mountain Suppression Realm genius, pushed by their elders, charged straight into the Master’s Dao Maze.

Combining all ten sites of the Master’s Dao Maze, more than ten thousand participants surged in simultaneously!

In fact, there were fully 300 Mountain Suppression Realm prodigies among them!

Shockingly, one of them had reached the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression!

...

Yunlan Mountain.

Elder Qin Shan perched atop the Thousand Layers, his eyes narrowed as he observed the four figures who had just emerged from the Master’s Dao Maze below, a deep sense of fulfillment washing over him.

He had welcomed two arrivals that very morning.

Now, three additional Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression prodigies had joined.

Clearly, the Sect Leader was dead set on claiming the top hundred spots in the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking.

Collecting his mind, Qin Shan declared gravely, "Pay your entry fee, come with me, and I’ll guide you to your quarters."

While Qin Shan uttered these words, two of the trio traded looks, catching a flicker of astonishment in each other’s gaze.

Upon hearing Qin Shan, they swiftly averted their eyes, trailed after him up the Thousand Layers, and began retrieving the entry fee from their Storage Rings.

Since the Immortal Daily had detailed the entry fee, nothing caught them off guard.

Upon reaching the dormitory zone alongside Qin Shan, he arranged lodging for the three and passed them three maps, advising, "Time is short for you. Hurry to the Sect Task Hall, take on missions, and gather 100 Sect Task Points. Got questions? Ask away now, though this old man won’t be providing replies!"

The trio offered helpless grins.

If answers aren’t coming, what’s the point of inquiring?

"Senior, how may we call you?" one youth asked in haste.

Qin Shan replied, "Call me Elder Qin."

"Elder Qin it is, then!"

"Junior pays respects to Elder Qin!"

"Pays respects to Elder Qin!"

In perfect sync, the three bowed deeply, displaying utmost deference.

"Now that you’ve entered the Sect, focus on your cultivation. A fresh chapter of your life awaits! Regarding eligibility for the Vortex Map purchase, the Sect Leader will address it directly with you." Finishing thus, Qin Shan fell silent and departed the dormitory area swiftly.

Another newcomer had shown up!

The sixth of the day!

At this pace, the Sect would hit 80 members in no time!

After Qin Shan’s departure, the pair who had shared that dazed stare earlier locked eyes once more.

"Brother Ping Jian, never imagined you’d conquer the Master’s Dao Maze. Isn’t your elder brother hailed as the Ping Family’s top genius..."

"Truth be told, Brother Lu Qingfeng, I was equally stunned you made it past the Master’s Dao Maze. Word was that Qin Feng of the Qin Family challenged it alongside you; for years, he outshone you in all things, but today you’ve flipped the script on him!"

Both let out heavy sighs.

It dawned on them now that clearing the Master’s Dao Maze went beyond mere power.

Before, folks assumed prominent figures would succeed—they didn’t—while the unheralded ones, such as themselves, broke through.

Once the shock subsided, their attention shifted to the companion nearby.

Together, they inquired, "Brother, what’s your name?"

"Falling Maple!"

He answered without delay.

The duo pondered the name thoroughly.

Barely any fame attached to it.

Evidently, he wasn’t some big name either.

Truly, the Immortal Sect paid no heed to one’s cultivation level!

Their sole concern was whether you could navigate the Master’s Dao Maze!

Given their current prowess, securing a top hundred rank in the Red Domain felt like a heavenly impossibility. Still, the Immortal Sect boldly vowed them those positions!

Any lingering skepticism vanished, considering how the Vortex Map crafted by the Immortal Sect Leader drove Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm experts to stake their lives for it.

Would someone of that caliber trick small fries like them?

Excitement surged within the two for the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking two months hence.

Top hundred in the Red Domain!

The mere thought sent shivers of thrill through them!
