"Does that mean it's far simpler now for Daluo Golden Immortals to advance to Immortal Kings than in the past?"
Taiyi Immortal King rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
A twinge of envy stirred within him.
Back in his own time, ascending to Immortal King status had been incredibly arduous.
Locating even a single Seventh-Rank or Eighth-Grade Immortal Medicine proved nearly impossible.
Those vital resources had vanished entirely from the Land of Daylight long ago.
To obtain materials fit for an Immortal King, explorers had no choice but to brave the Eternal Night Land.
Yet the perils lurking in the Eternal Night Land were beyond measure.
Endless horrors dwelled in its shadowy depths, teeming with fearsome dark creatures.
One slip-up there could spell total annihilation.
Not even Immortal Kings could assure their safety amid such dangers.
Thus, only the most outstanding talents among myriad geniuses could claim the rank of Immortal King.
Fortune and rare chances played crucial roles as well.
Without them, success remained utterly out of reach.
This scarcity elevated Immortal Kings to pivotal roles across the entire Immortal World.
Even now, in an Immortal World brimming with abundant resources, the path to becoming an Immortal King stays fraught with challenges.
Though cultivation aids overflow in plenty, advancement isn't assured for everyone.
It hinges largely on one's innate talent for cultivation.
Lacking that aptitude, gulping down hordes of Immortal Elixirs won't unlock insights into the lofty High Rank Laws.
Progress then grinds to a hopeless halt.
"Yet the Heaven Court's true backbone extends beyond these Immortal Kings of the clans."
"In truth, Xuan Huang Immortal King's foundations run far deeper and more mysterious."
"He forged Hell dimensions right within the Immortal World, erecting the Hell Reincarnation Place."
"Through this, he seized absolute dominion over the whole Immortal World, establishing himself as the unchallenged Master of the Immortal Realm."
Great Thousand Worlds Mirror declared with gravity.
These revelations it uncovered lay far beyond the grasp of ordinary Immortal Kings.
Without its unique gift for overseeing the realms and detecting the Hell dimensions' presence,
it too would linger in ignorance to this day.
Blissfully oblivious to Xuan Huang Immortal King's hidden strategies.
"Hell dimensions? What sort of realms are those?"
"Did Xuan Huang Immortal King craft them as Secret Realm worlds?"
Taiyi Immortal King inquired with keen interest.
Surprise didn't grip him, though, since fashioning Secret Realm worlds came easily to Immortal Kings.
A mere gesture from them sufficed to conjure such domains.
Still, for beings of their caliber, such feats held little value.
The Immortal World sprawled endlessly, its territories far from fully claimed.
So what use could extra Secret Realm worlds possibly offer?
"Yes, they qualify as Secret Realm worlds, yet they stand apart in extraordinary ways."
"Xuan Huang Immortal King shaped a domain for the departed, dubbing it Hell."
"Prior to these Hell dimensions emerging, myriad Souls roamed the lands after their demise."
"Vast in power, these Souls swiftly absorbed boundless negative energies from the ground, birthing hordes of evil spirits."
"Clustering together, the evil spirits lurked in remote peaks and untamed woods, seething with bitter grudges."
"Despite relentless purges by Immortals, fresh evil spirits kept arising without end."
"Like stubborn weeds, they sprouted anew time and again."
"This plague posed a colossal threat lurking within the Immortal World."
"Innumerable mortals fell prey to these rampaging evil spirits."
Great Thousand Worlds Mirror intoned with somber weight.
"That peril rings true indeed."
Taiyi Immortal King agreed with a nod.
He had once sought ways to curb the evil spirits' scourge, only to deem it insoluble.
For their origin stemmed from the beings of all clans across the Immortal World.
Upon death, they morphed into these spectral menaces.
Eradicating evil spirits demanded wiping out the entire Immortal World, a reckless folly.
One couldn't slaughter endless souls merely to banish the spirits, as the costs outweighed any gain.
Over eons, he abandoned the futile pursuit.
Forced to tolerate the evil spirits' presence, forging an uneasy harmony with them.
This balance wove into a steady cycle of existence.
After all, the Immortal World harbored myriad unsolved woes, with evil spirits' dangers just one among many, so he spared it scant focus.
"To counter this crisis, Xuan Huang Immortal King devised the Hell Dimension."
"The Hell Dimension serves as a haven for the dead, and a grim jail for the deceased alike."
"Thanks to it, legions of evil spirits got herded into the Hell Dimension."
"From that point, souls vanished entirely from the Immortal World."
Great Thousand Worlds Mirror continued.
"No surprise then that souls evaded my sight—they've all been consigned to the Hell Dimension."
"Xuan Huang Immortal King truly earns his Celestial Emperor mantle."
"He's tackled one looming threat after another in the Immortal World, outshining me by far."
Taiyi Immortal King marveled in awe.
"Master, were that the extent of it, no issue would arise."
"But once those countless souls flooded the Hell Dimension, transformations of seismic scale unfolded."
"As you're aware, every world—even the grand universe—embodies a duality at its core."
"Life's vitality balances death's chill, holding equilibrium."
"With the Hell Dimension's rise, torrents of death energy and shadowy forces surged into its heart."
"Through ages untold, the Hell Dimension evolved into the Immortal World's dark counterpart."
"Hell now forms an indispensable pillar of the Immortal World."
"Beings born in its embrace rival those thriving in the Immortal World itself."
Great Thousand Worlds Mirror elaborated.
"What are you implying? Isn't the Hell Dimension just a veiled prison for wayward souls?"
Taiyi Immortal King felt a jolt of surprise.
He realized he'd gravely misjudged the Hell Dimension's scope.
Observing the Great Thousand Worlds Mirror's taut demeanor convinced him of its profound significance.
Else, this erudite innate treasure wouldn't brim with such solemn intensity.
"It may have started as a basic prison realm for souls."
"Yet the influx of the Immortal World's myriad souls reshaped it into something profound."
"Across billions of years, endless souls poured in, mutating the Hell Dimensions into sprawling realms of death."
"These death realms wove seamlessly into the Immortal World's primal essence."
"Souls dwelling in the Hell Dimension achieve immortality."
"Slain though they may be, they rise anew endlessly within the Hell Dimension."
"Roughly ten billion years past, the Dark Clan roused vast legions of dark creatures, assembling a colossal dark horde bent on swallowing the Land of Day whole, their ranks stretching into infinity."
"In response, Xuan Huang Immortal King called forth innumerable undying souls from the Hell Dimensions; manifesting in the living realm, these tireless warriors wielded immense might, shunned all fear of oblivion, and held the dark forces at bay in fierce stalemate."
"Clearly, this marks the undead legion under Xuan Huang Immortal King's command."
Great Thousand Worlds Mirror clarified.
"An army of undead souls?"
"In a sense, then, the Hell Dimension doubles as Xuan Huang Immortal King's forge for warriors."
"His forging of the Hell Dimension hid layers of cunning intent."
"Furthermore, he harnessed its might to birth a horde of eternal souls."
"And triumph he did, amassing a force of unparalleled dread."
Taiyi Immortal King's eyes narrowed sharply.
As one of the Human clan's nine primordial kings, steeped in ancient lore, he grasped all too well the cataclysmic might of such an undead legion. Unleashed, it would ravage realms like an unstoppable blight.
Of greater alarm, the throngs of undead exuded ceaseless deathly auras, corrupting swathes of land into barren wastes of demise.
This dread above all unnerved the Immortal Kings.
In certain respects, it echoed the Dark Clan's essence, the Eternal Night's grip.
The Dark Clan wielded that corrosive shadow to gnaw away at territories bit by bit.
Helpless Immortals could merely witness the encroaching doom.
Should the Immortal World fall wholly to consumption, no race would find footing in its boundless expanse.
