Immortal Me Can Infinitely Add Points For Myself

　　Three thousand five hundred years.

　　The great era reckoning ended.

　　It was the start of the next great era, the first year.

　　The entire star region had been reckoned with, but other places, since no Great Emperors had ever emerged there, were far less severely affected than the Vast Heaven Sword Sea.

　　The most serious consequence was that some Heaven-Mending Realm powerhouses had developed demonic hearts, which somewhat affected their future cultivation paths but were far from fatal.

　　The seven major sects around the Vast Heaven Sword Sea basically came through unscathed. Having survived the end-of-era reckoning of the previous great era, they could be considered the new figures of this great era.

　　And a new great era meant new fortune, opportunities, and even the emergence of new Great Emperors.

　　The prime opportunity was the already shattered Vast Heaven Sword Sea.

　　As the most prosperous sect in the previous few great eras, its foundation was so powerful that it could astonish even Heaven-Mending Realm cultivators.

　　Now that it had been shattered, its foundation presumably hadn't disappeared. All of this was opportunity.

　　But a single sect wouldn't dare to search for treasures in the ruins of the Vast Heaven Sword Sea. Mainly, they were afraid.

　　Afraid of various accidents, afraid that the Vast Heaven Sword Sea hadn't truly died, that saints were still lingering and struggling inside.

　　But no matter how they lingered, they were still saints, terrifying existences who could crush them with a flick of their fingers.

　　So the seven major sects discussed and decided that each sect would be led by a Heaven-Mending Realm powerhouse, accompanied by several Overturning Sea Realm cultivators, to go and take a look. If they could find opportunities, that would be great; if not, they could still look out for each other.

　　To put it bluntly, even if something really went wrong, they would all die together.

　　If each of the seven major sects lost a Heaven-Mending Realm cultivator, their combat power would be more or less the same, and they would still be on an equal footing.

　　What they feared was that one or two sects' Heaven-Mending Realm cultivators would run faster, survive by chance, and obtain the opportunities.

　　And each of the seven major sects hoped to be one of those one or two sects.

　　If they wanted to rise in the future, they had to seize the initiative at the very beginning of this crucial great era. Obtaining the foundation of the Vast Heaven Sword Sea was one such initiative!

　　Without much hesitation, the Heaven-Mending Realm powerhouses of the seven major sects set off, riding ferryboats straight into the star river, heading towards the Vast Heaven Sword Sea to explore.

　　Nowadays, meteorites were rarely seen in the star river. The reason was simple: almost all of them had been used up.

　　The ferryboats sailed straight ahead. After traveling millions of miles and crossing the star river, they could almost make out the Vast Heaven Sword Sea.

　　Looking over, all they saw was devastation. The sword sea was still there, with fragmented houses floating on it, accompanied by countless scattered debris. The seawater wasn't churning; it was deathly still.

　　"No matter how prosperous a sect is, it can't escape this fate in the end," a Heaven-Mending Realm powerhouse couldn't help but sigh.

　　The current Vast Heaven Sword Sea was truly a far cry from what they remembered. It had lost its former loftiness and had fallen into this state of decay and death.

　　The Heaven-Mending Realm powerhouses put away their complicated thoughts, stepped off the ferryboats, crossed the star river, and, with caution, began to explore the inside of the Vast Heaven Sword Sea.

　　The great era had just ended, and the dark reckoning had passed. The layout of the decaying Vast Heaven Sword Sea was unpredictable. They didn't dare to be careless. All of them grasped their magic weapons and readied their supernatural powers, slowly exploring deeper.

　　First, they approached the floating shattered stars around. There was still some residual dark intrusion on them, but the impact wasn't significant.

　　Since the birth of the star region, dark intrusion had always existed.

　　No one knew why there was dark intrusion. They could only explain it as the will of heaven.

　　Even Great Emperors couldn't figure this out, let alone these Heaven-Mending Realm cultivators.

　　"Once we step into the territory of the Vast Heaven Sword Sea, everyone must be on high alert, be extremely careful, and look out for each other. Don't be as scheming as we were outside."

　　"As long as we can all walk out of the Vast Heaven Sword Sea alive, our respective sects will be able to rise in the star region. In the future layout of the star region, it will be our seven major sects that stand at the top!"

　　The cultivator who spoke was the Sect Leader of Jade Terrace Mountain.

　　"Okay, let's explore slowly. If we encounter any accidents, we'll resist them together," a Heaven-Mending Realm cultivator agreed.

　　Everyone nodded in agreement. After all, if they themselves had an accident, they would still hope that the others would help.

　　However, agreeing was one thing; whether they would actually do it was another.

　　If it was just an ordinary crisis, they would be happy to help and earn a favor.

　　But if it was really something like the remnant soul of a saint, they would be the first to run.

　　Their steps didn't stop. They had already entered the Vast Heaven Sword Sea and were walking on the sword sea.

　　"That's the Heavenly Pavilion in the Vast Heaven Sword Sea, which stores supernatural techniques. It's actually floating on the sword sea,"

　　the Sect Leader of Jade Terrace Mountain exclaimed, his tone filled with delight. If they could obtain the supernatural techniques in the Heavenly Pavilion, it would be a great opportunity.

　　The other cultivators saw it too. "It's not the complete Heavenly Pavilion. There's only half of it, but there must still be plenty of supernatural techniques."

　　The Heaven-Mending Realm cultivators were all delighted. Opportunities like supernatural techniques were the easiest to negotiate. After all, everyone could learn them, and there wouldn't be any unequal distribution.

　　They were really lucky. They had just entered and already encountered a great opportunity. If they searched a bit more, they should be able to make a huge haul.

　　Several Heaven-Mending Realm cultivators quickly walked towards the Heavenly Pavilion, wanting to take it. Just as they got close and were about to reach out, they suddenly stopped.

　　Because they saw a figure standing with its back to them in the far distance of the sword sea.

　　The pupils of the Sect Leader of Jade Terrace Mountain instantly dilated, and he cried out in alarm.

　　"Ru—"

　　He had only called out half of the word "run" when the figure had already turned around. It was the Guardian Elder of the Vast Heaven Sword Sea, the Old Fisherman.

　　His face and expression were the same, but his pupils were pitch black, filled with swirling dark intrusions.

　　And when he turned around, the figure that had been in the far distance of the sword sea was already in front of the Heaven-Mending Realm cultivators.

　　A brief cry of alarm rang out in the decaying Vast Heaven Sword Sea.

　　After a moment, it subsided, and there was no more movement, returning to the initial deathly stillness.

　　The seven major sects waited for a hundred years but didn't see their respective Heaven-Mending Realm cultivators return. So they sent elders proficient in escape techniques to search the ruins of the Vast Heaven Sword Sea.

　　In the same year, the searching elders returned, their expressions horrified, as if they had seen something terrifying. Their bodies were trembling, and they were out of their minds, looking deranged.

　　"Dead... dead, all dead. Hanging outside, their heads dangling. All dead."

　　Although they didn't know exactly what was being said, they could probably guess from the words.

　　The Heaven-Mending Realm cultivators who had gone to seek opportunities were all dead!

　　Immediately, the seven major sects declared the Vast Heaven Sword Sea a forbidden area. They no longer sent anyone there and didn't dare to search for opportunities there anymore. They completely gave up the idea.

　　In the following thousand years, the seven major sects built around the Vast Heaven Sword Sea also gradually moved away, going to other parts of the star region to establish new sects.

　　The former ferry crossings became desolate until they were dilapidated. There were no more ferryboats to be seen, and no one came.

　　The area of the Vast Heaven Sword Sea that had once spanned the star region finally declined completely. There was no one in sight, no lights, only the dark starry sky.

　　Perhaps new sects would be established in the future.

　　But there would never be another Vast Heaven Sword Sea.
