In recent years, in addition to the various races and nations, a new force has emerged on the Tianyuan Continent.
Because of the existence of the Wudang Sect and the Pill Tower, coupled with the influence of the ascendants who have continuously ascended to the Tianyuan Sacred Realm in recent years.
On the Tianyuan Continent, sects began to rise one after another. Some of these sects were established by ascended beings, while others were established by native beings of the Tianyuan Continent.
Influenced by the Wudang Sect, the number one sect on the Tianyuan Continent, most of the sects that were later established on the Tianyuan Continent were geared towards the various races of Tianyuan.
Most of them adhere to the principle of education for all. On the Tianyuan Continent, any race of beings can join a sect to cultivate after passing the sect's assessment.
In contrast to sects are various academies established by each race. Most of these academies only admit beings of their own race and are not open to outsiders.
Furthermore, compared to the strict standards for accepting disciples in sects, the standards for accepting students in various academies are quite lenient.
Moreover, most colleges offer substantial benefits to their students, and boast abundant faculty and resources.
After all, most of the academies established by the various clans of Tianyuan were for the purpose of better nurturing their own clansmen.

Chapter 105 The Cycle of Six Paths of Reincarnation
The ascendants who have successively ascended to the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm over the years, although their cultivation levels are not as strong as those of the powerful beings in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm.
However, the various cultures, knowledge, etiquette, technologies, and so on that they brought from their original world to the Tianyuan Sacred Realm brought about earth-shattering changes to the Tianyuan Sacred Realm.
The various races on the Tianyuan Continent, by constantly absorbing all the knowledge from those who ascended, have enabled the overall civilization of the Tianyuan Continent, including culture and art, to achieve a leapfrog improvement.
It is precisely because of the emergence of these ascendants, and because of their ideas and the social structures they once lived in, that many powerful figures on the Tianyuan Continent have been influenced by them.
It was from the ideas and thoughts they gleaned that nations and sects began to emerge on the Tianyuan Continent, instead of being organized as a single race as before.
As time flowed by in this somewhat chaotic environment of the Tianyuan Sacred Realm, something happened that was etched in the hearts of all the beings in the Tianyuan Sacred Realm and would never be forgotten.
In the year 630 of the Tianyuan era, more than a thousand ghost immortals gathered in the plaza in front of the Netherworld Palace.
The reason these ghost immortals are so numerous is because they have been accumulated by all the ghost messengers and spirits who have joined the underworld over the years.
At the very front of these thousand ghost immortals, there were also a dozen or so powerful Yin gods whose strength was roughly equivalent to that of Ox-Head and Horse-Face.
The immense power currently gathered in the Underworld is simply unimaginable to the beings within the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm.
In recent years, as the environment on the Tianyuan Continent has become increasingly turbulent, the number of wandering souls pouring into the Underworld from the Tianyuan Sacred Realm has greatly increased.
As the number of wandering souls increases and the underworld continues to improve, the underworld's pull on the souls of beings in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm after death begins to strengthen.
Now, the Underworld can forcibly draw the souls of beings who died in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm and whose cultivation reached the early stage of the third level of the Transcendent Realm into the Underworld.
As the figure of the Netherworld Emperor slowly emerged from the Netherworld Palace, all the ghost immortals gathered in the square began to quiet down.
The Netherworld Emperor looked at the solemn-looking ghost immortals in the plaza below, nodded in satisfaction, and began to speak.
"Over the years, the six paths of reincarnation in my underworld have not truly begun to operate, resulting in the coexistence of humans and ghosts in the human world, and the boundary between life and death has become extremely blurred."
"Today, my underworld will officially begin operating the Six Paths of Reincarnation, drawing a line between life and death for all living beings in the world, so that the deceased and those whose lifespan has ended can no longer remain in the world."
"As for your mission, the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Underworld has already given you detailed information. That is to assist the Six Paths of Reincarnation in its perfect operation and prevent all living beings from destroying the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
"Now, you shall begin to carry out your assigned tasks!"
"yes!"
Watching the ghost immortals who had already taken to the air and headed to various parts of the underworld, and gathered at the gates of hell leading to various parts of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, the Netherworld Emperor also stepped into the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the underworld.
Above the Reincarnation Pool formed by the true form of the Reincarnation Disc, the Netherworld Emperor began to form one profound and mysterious hand seal after another.
"Open the gates of hell!"
The majestic voice of the Netherworld Emperor echoed in the ears of all living beings in the entire Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm.
At this moment, all the beings on the Tianyuan Continent and those in the endless starry sky of the Tianyuan Holy Realm stopped what they were doing and looked up at their surroundings.
No matter where any living being is in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, at this moment, as long as they look up, they can discover a vast portal filled with ghostly energy.
At the top of this gate, shrouded in endless ghostly energy, are three mysterious characters. Any living being in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm who sees these three characters will understand their meaning the moment they see them—Gate of Hell.
Above the Gates of Hell, sat cross-legged the figure of an incomparably majestic emperor clad in a black and gold imperial robe.
Looking at that figure brimming with boundless majesty and nobility, and feeling the indescribable pressure emanating from him, a brief blankness appeared in the minds of all the powerful figures in the Tianyuan Sacred Realm.
They simply couldn't imagine what kind of supreme being could have accomplished what they were witnessing.
Those beings who were once at the pinnacle of power in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm felt a deep sense of powerlessness as they looked at the figure of the Netherworld Emperor.
At this moment, a common thought flashed through the minds of these powerful individuals: they had been far too narrow-minded and arrogant in the past.
What terrified all living beings in the entire Tianyuan Sacred Realm was that the horrifying scene unfolding before their eyes was not the end, but merely the beginning.
"I am the Netherworld Emperor, the ruler of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm and the Underworld. Today, my Underworld will open the Gates of Hell to connect with all parts of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm and officially begin the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"
"Once the Six Paths of Reincarnation officially begins operation, after any living being in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm dies, their soul will not be allowed to linger in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm. They must immediately enter the Underworld to choose whether to become a ghost or reincarnate in the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"
"Furthermore, all living beings in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm will possess a lifespan after the Six Paths of Reincarnation have completed their cycle. Depending on their race and cultivation level, the lifespan of each being is different. Those whose lifespan has been exhausted..."
In the eyes of the beings in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, as the Great Emperor, who sat high above the Gate of Hell, spoke, a majestic voice began to appear in their ears and enter their minds.
After the Netherworld Emperor finished speaking, every living being in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm showed endless panic on their face.
If we follow the words of the Netherworld Emperor, then wouldn't they also eventually enter the Netherworld and be reincarnated one day?
Some creatures who knew their sins were even more terrified. If the words of the Netherworld Emperor were true, wouldn't they be thrown into the eighteen levels of hell and suffer endless punishments after entering the Netherworld?
