The planet formed through this frenzied process of condensing and stacking energy quickly took shape. It became an enormous planetary core, radiating five-colored light. Unlike ordinary elemental planets that simply displayed five hues, this one brimmed with the actual essence of the Five Elements, creating a living, breathing world filled with mountains and rivers.
Creating landscapes was not difficult, but the key here was that the mountains and rivers within this planet were infused with genuine elemental energy. Other cultivators’ planetary cores might look beautiful, but in truth, their internal energies were often singular and hollow.
Put simply, they looked good but lacked depth. They weren’t true living environments, nor did they contain the rich, multifaceted power of nature.
Yi Tianyun’s newly condensed planet, however, was like a real world, it even felt like it could give birth to life! Of course, creating life wasn’t something easily achieved, but allowing beings to cultivate within it was entirely possible.
The environment here was far superior to the outside world, by many times over.
With Crazy Mode accelerating everything, it didn’t even take a few full days before the fusion completed. A massive new planetary core formed inside his body. Oddly enough, it wasn’t as large as the combined mass of the five previous planets. Instead, it was more compact, yet its energy was far more terrifying. It was denser, purer, and had instantly reached the sixth-grade level.
Since he’d absorbed a sixth-grade Five Elements Core, it was only natural that his internal planetary core would rise to match. There was no way it would be weaker.
“Finally succeeded… this is the planetary core formed from the Five Elements Core?”
Yi Tianyun was thrilled. He could clearly feel the enormous surge in energy within his body.
His cultivation realm hadn’t advanced, but the strength of his foundation had grown tremendously. If he unleashed the power of the Five Elements Core now, it would far surpass anything he’d been capable of before.
Most importantly, he had succeeded. He’d completed this trial just in time, before the God Territory War began.
He stood up and walked toward the Five Elements Core. At this point, he felt no danger from it, after all, it had already been assimilated.
It wasn’t possible for him to completely absorb the Five Elements Core, but being acknowledged by it was enough to complete the trial.
Full absorption was still far beyond his current strength. If he had been stronger from the start, the fusion might have gone faster. Thankfully, Crazy Mode had made up the difference. Without it, he might have failed entirely.
A narrow escape, but a fortunate one.
“Congratulations on completing the Five Elements Core Trial. You are now the true Master of the Mortal World!”
A beam of golden light descended, enveloping him. A glowing imprint emerged from the void and branded itself on his forehead, then instantly vanished without a trace.
Moments later, a surge of profound memory flooded into his mind. Yi Tianyun closed his eyes and quietly absorbed the knowledge. After a while, he slowly opened them.
“So this is the true power of the Mortal World… this isn’t something you’d ever call ‘mortal.'”
The memory didn’t explain the full truth. It only instructed him on how to awaken the Mortal World’s power. It said nothing about the Reincarnation Pond or any other related mysteries.
Clearly, even after completing the Five Elements Core trial, the full truth remained hidden.
“Ding! Special mission ‘Become the Master of the Mortal World’ completed. Reward: Title – ‘Master of the Mortal World’. Grants access to the Mortal World’s strongest power! No additional rewards.”
Title – Master of the Mortal World: Grants absolute control over the Mortal World. Enables manipulation of souls, directing them to reincarnate in any region, or reconstruct their physical bodies. Also allows full command over the Five Elements Core, including using its power for counterattacks.
“Control reincarnation?”
Yi Tianyun had expected overwhelming battle power, but instead, he gained a rare utility effect, he could now dictate where souls would reincarnate within the Three Realms.
Up until now, reincarnation was automatic. Now, he held the reins.
Unfortunately, it didn’t hold much practical value for him, since cultivators above the Saint King level couldn’t reincarnate here. That greatly reduced the title’s usefulness… unless this upper limit could one day be raised.
However, the second effect was incredible, the ability to reconstruct physical bodies!
This meant that anyone below the Saint King level could be restored from the soul, even if their body had been destroyed.
This stunned even Yi Tianyun. Now he understood just how powerful the title truly was.
“If this ability improves further, I could really create an undying army…”
He couldn’t help but get excited imagining it.
No matter how someone died, if their soul was still in the Three Realms, he could restore them! Who would dare provoke such an immortal army?
But then he noticed a small line of text at the bottom,
Each resurrection of 1,000 souls requires a 100-year cooldown.
“So it’s not infinite… I was being naive again.”
Yi Tianyun shook his head. Still, this limitation didn’t bother him too much. Most low-level cultivators didn’t participate in war anyway, so it wouldn’t affect him for now.
And having it was still better than not having it. Who knew when it might come in handy?
RUMBLE…
At that moment, a loud mechanical sound drew his attention. Two massive passageways opened behind the Five Elements Core, releasing two opposing forces.
One was filled with radiant light, the other exuded eerie cold.
“Light and darkness?”
Yi Tianyun’s eyes narrowed. He immediately understood what the next two trials would be, one of light, the other of darkness.
These were ultra-rare cores, each capable of forming the strongest possible energies. And now, they had been unearthed and embedded into the Three Realms!
The Heaven World represented the Light Core.
The Mortal World represented the Five Elements Core.
The Ghost World represented the Dark Core.
No matter which one it was, each core was unbelievably rare. To possess even one was astounding. To possess all three… would make someone truly invincible.
Assuming, of course, they could fully control them.
“Too powerful… The deeper I go, the more terrifying this becomes. So this is the legacy left behind by that mysterious ancient being…”
Yi Tianyun’s eyes sparkled with excitement. It had been a long time since he’d encountered a treasure so extraordinary.
Just understanding the true power of the Five Elements Core had already overwhelmed him. What would happen if he managed to control all three?
Only then would the Three Realms truly become the real Three Realms!

Yi Tianyun lifted his foot and stepped behind the Five Elements Core. Previously, this would have been impossible, approaching it would have instantly shattered his soul from the sheer violent power, and if not dead, he’d have been reduced to a fool.
Now that he had merged with it, he could finally pass through the Five Elements Core to its rear. The moment he entered the area beyond, the sensation intensified.
Waves of light and darkness flowed ceaselessly from ahead. As he approached, an overwhelming pressure surged toward him, making each step feel heavier, as though advancing was nearly impossible.
“This… I really can’t go in…”
Yi Tianyun frowned. He had hoped to complete both trials in one go, but now it was clear that had been far too optimistic. The pressure radiating from ahead was terrifying, even the surface of his skin felt like it was disintegrating.
If he pushed forward any further, there was no doubt his soul would be annihilated. The forces ahead were too powerful for his current level.
“Ding! Special mission accepted: ‘Complete either the Light Trial or the Dark Trial.’ Reward: Title – ‘Master of the Heaven World’ or ‘Master of the Ghost World.'”
The reward structure remained the same, no additional bonuses, not even a bit of experience.
“So it splits into two missions… looks like I’ll have to complete both to truly become this world’s master.”
Yi Tianyun wasn’t surprised. It had been made clear that even after absorbing the Five Elements Core, he was only the Master of the Mortal World. That implied the existence of other titles, Master of the Heaven World, and Master of the Ghost World.
Which meant two more trials.
But for now, those trials were out of reach. He would need to raise his cultivation before attempting them. At present, he had to back off.
“That’s enough for now. Time to leave.”
Without lingering, Yi Tianyun stepped into the special teleportation array and vanished from the area. His soul returned to his body, everything was intact.
“Back in my body at last. Nothing feels better than this.”
He stretched his body and cracked his joints. Though it seemed like his soul had left, it had remained linked to his body the entire time, never truly separated.
Still, he had the sense that the place he’d just come from could be physically entered as well, but for now, he lacked the qualifications to do so.
In a flash, he reappeared inside his palace. Shi Xueyun was there handling affairs. When she saw him, her beautiful eyes filled with mild reproach.
“So you finally decided to come back? This was the longest you’ve ever been away.”
He had been gone for over fifty years, something that had never happened before.
“I got a bit carried away with closed-door cultivation. Sorry.” Yi Tianyun smiled as he walked over. Shi Xueyun was just teasing, she wasn’t truly upset.
As long as he returned safely, she was content. For cultivators of their level, fifty years was like five days, barely anything.
“Forget it. The Three Realms God Territory is rising steadily. Most cultivators have made great breakthroughs. We now have over thirty with Earth Monarch-level cultivation. As for Sky Monarchs, more than ten. Star Monarchs..”
Yi Tianyun nodded. As expected, growth had been explosive. The overall strength now rivaled that of a second-grade God Territory, achieved in just fifty years.
Of course, there was still a gap before matching high-level second-grade God Territories. But with Yi Tianyun, a being who rivaled a Heavenly Venerable, on their side, they already surpassed most of them.
The only real difference was that second-grade territories often had third-grade ones backing them. In theory, that still put them at a disadvantage.
“Seems like our overall breakthrough is quite good?” Yi Tianyun’s eyes lit up. “At this rate, our strength will soon match a second-grade God Territory.”
“Exactly! Our resources are abundant, and everyone has been diligently cultivating in response to your call. The results exceeded expectations, everyone’s progressing rapidly.” Shi Xueyun was excited too. Watching her sect grow stronger filled her with confidence and pride.
“Excellent. Then I’ll continue refining pills to accelerate things.” Yi Tianyun nodded. Most preparations were now in place, only the God Territory War remained.
Shi Xueyun nodded and returned to her tasks.
Yi Tianyun, too, dove into alchemy. Though the Three Realms had alchemists, their pace was limited, and with so many cultivators, demand far outpaced supply.
Otherwise, Yi Tianyun wouldn’t need to spend time refining pills himself.
Time passed quickly as he threw himself into nonstop pill-making. Meanwhile, the other God Territories went silent, no contact, just quiet preparation.
The war between God Territories was only a few decades away. Tension was building fast. Whether they’d be affected or not, preparations were essential.
News from various sources confirmed this: all God Territories were making ready. Even their allied factions sent envoys to coordinate.
The message was simple: when the war broke out, they hoped for mutual support. If things turned dire, they just wanted a place to hide.
They didn’t ask for help resisting, no one expected to hold back a third-grade God Territory. Their only hope was shelter.
“The tension keeps rising… I should head to the Heavenly Spring God Territory and inform Sister Liuli of the situation.”
Yi Tianyun had promised Domain Lord Liuli not to join a third-grade God Territory. He wasn’t breaking that promise, he was entering the war directly!
The two weren’t the same. She never imagined Yi Tianyun would join the God Territory War, only that he wouldn’t side with a third-grade faction.
After finishing a batch of pills and leaving instructions, he set out for the Heavenly Spring God Territory to meet with Domain Lord Liuli.
That territory, too, had entered full defensive mode. Most disciples had returned, none were permitted to travel.
“Domain Lord Tianyun, you’re finally back! We’ve been looking for you. Lord Liuli instructed that all elders and disciples return.” Elder Gou Huang sighed in relief upon seeing him.
“Where’s Domain Lord Liuli? I have something important to discuss with her.” Yi Tianyun asked directly.
“Something important? You’re just in time, we’re about to hold a strategy meeting. You should attend as well.”
Elder Gou Huang assumed Yi Tianyun had simply returned from training. He had no idea what Yi Tianyun had just been through.
“A meeting, huh?” Yi Tianyun’s eyes lit up. This might be just the opportunity he needed.
