Chapter 191: Blood Refining Army Reports
Seeing King Qionghai take the initiative.
On the side, Fang Xia was somewhat surprised, still hesitating.
"Fang Xia, we are different," King Qionghai shook his head and said, "You have cultivated for only over two hundred years and have already reached the Golden Core Realm. You have early insights into the Domain Realm. Even with fewer resources, it doesn't mean you can't cultivate. At most, it may be a bit slower, taking two or three hundred years, and you can still cultivate to the Ninth Layer of the Golden Core. Only breaking through from the Golden Core Realm to become a Purple Mansion True Immortal is a true barrier."
Fang Xia nodded slightly.
Breaking through from the Qi Sea Realm to the Golden Core Realm doesn't require insight into the Domain Realm.
But if you want to go from the Third Layer of the Golden Core to the Fourth Layer, the understanding of the Dao must reach at least the First Layer of the Domain Realm!
"But I'm different," King Qionghai said in a low voice, "Master has treated me well. Over the years, he has given me references for body refining techniques, source arts, new body refining methods, and even the 'Earth Witch True Scripture.'"
"However, I still can't achieve the unity of man and nature."
"I have also found two suitable places for body refining in the deep sea."
"But without the corresponding 'Body Refining Spirit Pills' and the Blood Fusion Spirit Grass, I can't endure the pain of body refining. If I forcibly do it, my divine soul is afraid it will collapse in agony."
Fang Xia couldn't help but be stunned.
Wuyuan listened and sighed. King Qionghai has lived for a very long time, but with his naturally strong bloodline, he has been invincible in the Southern Sea, enduring less tempering. So, whether it's Dao heart or divine soul, they are not too strong.
In these years, King Qionghai has suffered quite a bit in order to break through but still hasn't succeeded.
"As I grow older, the hope of a breakthrough becomes increasingly slim," King Qionghai said in a low voice. "I have a premonition that if I continue to shrink within Central Continent, I may end up dying of old age."
"I have browsed through the Dao Repository, and the vastness of the Great Realm, with numerous intertwining spatial dimensions, has many cultivators and countless treasures," King Qionghai said.
"Perhaps, there are many dangers in exploring among them."
"But if I'm going to die, then I'd rather die on the road to a breakthrough." King Qionghai's eyes had a longing look. "In my life, I have no other desires, only a breakthrough."
"Friend Qionghai has great determination," Fang Xia sighed, "I'm not as determined."
Fang Xia sighed at his own timidity.
"Lao Fang, your thoughts may not be wrong."
"You don't have to blindly rush into danger. Qionghai is willing to take risks, and naturally, he has his reasons." Wuyuan said softly, "I also want to go to the Great Realm, and there are reasons I must go."
"Moreover."
"Even if I go, for the time being, only the refining qi Avatar will go, and the refining body Avatar will still remain in Central Continent for silent cultivation." Wuyuan smiled, "On the path of cultivation, every step must be taken carefully."
When someone is instigated, their blood boils, and they go on reckless adventures, thinking they need to hone themselves. That's just foolish!
When is the right time for self-improvement?
Naturally, it's when you hit a bottleneck and find it difficult to continue breaking through.
In Wuyuan's view, the strength of the refining body Avatar is still improving rapidly, indicating that he is still on the right path.
In that case, without absolute certainty, he won't easily venture into the unknown.
"On the path of cultivation, moving fast is important, but moving steadily is even more crucial." Wuyuan pondered silently.
The Spirit Body Realm has a lifespan of five thousand years.
He is only in his thirties, so what's the rush? If he can smoothly enter the Mountain and River Realm after spending one or two hundred years, Wuyuan is willing to continue being patient.
However, the refining qi Avatar has enough lifespan for slow cultivation.
The refining body Avatar can't afford to be left behind.
Even at the Golden Core Realm, there is only a lifespan of a thousand years, and the path of a swordsman is about moving forward without hesitation, using the battle sword to break through the thorns and obstacles ahead, which is somewhat different from the wizards.
The two Avatars share memories and divine souls.
But completely different paths and cultivation methods mean that their paths of cultivation cannot be completely identical.
Separate cultivation, complementing each other's shortcomings, is the best way.
...
Wuyuan didn't inform the others further.
After all, the matter of the teleportation array and the two Avatars should only be known by the absolutely loyal Fang Xia and King Qionghai.
Moreover, in Wu Yuan's plan, at most, only the refining qi Avatar would leave. Why bother making it widely known?
In terms of combat power!
The current refining body Avatar has become more powerful. The departure of the refining qi Avatar does not significantly impact Wu Yuan's protection of Central Continent.
Only King Qionghai, after bidding farewell to Wu Yuan, went to communicate with Mountain Demon King and several other demon friends.
Of course, King Qionghai dared not reveal the true reason, using the excuse of closed-door cultivation!
Mountain Demon King and Black Dragon King expressed understanding. They knew that King Qionghai was already very old, and the hope of a breakthrough was becoming increasingly slim. It was normal for him to choose to close the door to cultivation.
Two days later.
Wu Yuan's refining body Avatar and King Qionghai left Yunshan and arrived at Yanqing Palace in the west of Zhongzhou City.
As for Fang Xia?
Wu Yuan did not call him again.
If Fang Xia was not willing to take risks, Wu Yuan would not force him. It was also unnecessary to disclose all the secrets of Yanqing Palace.
Just like on ordinary days, Wu Yuan rarely let Xiao Hei appear in front of Fang Xia and the others.
For anyone, Wu Yuan would never completely let down his guard.
Entering Yanqing Palace.
Swoosh! Wu Yuan in the black robe stood up from the jade platform in the quiet room. He looked slightly stunned and met the white-robed Wu Yuan and King Qionghai entering along the passage.
"What's this?" King Qionghai, who was walking in front, was startled and looked in amazement at the black-robed Wu Yuan in front of him.
Even though he was well-prepared and already knew about it, King Qionghai was still somewhat surprised when he saw the two Avatars of Wu Yuan. He clearly sensed that he and the two Wu Yuans had a soul connection, representing that they were all Wu Yuan.
Soon, King Qionghai noticed the difference between the white-robed Wu Yuan and the black-robed Wu Yuan.
One was cultivating the refining qi path, with an aura sharp like a divine sword.
The other was cultivating the refining body path, with a restrained and domineering aura.
"Qionghai." The black-robed Wu Yuan showed a faint smile. "I am the refining qi Avatar. Follow me to the teleportation array."
"Yes, Master." King Qionghai nodded repeatedly.
Although there was only one soul consciousness for Wu Yuan's different Avatars, he still felt a bit strange.
In fact, King Qionghai instinctively wanted to bid farewell to the white-robed Wu Yuan, but when he was halfway through the gesture, he stopped.
"Hurry up." The white-robed Wu Yuan whispered, "Both Avatars are me, with no difference."
"Yes." King Qionghai nodded.
Swoosh! Swoosh! The black-robed Wu Yuan and King Qionghai went along the passage in Yanqing Palace towards the teleportation array, while the refining body Avatar remained in the main hall.
"Hoo~" Xiao Hei coiled around Wu Yuan's arm and emerged from the Divine Palace.
"Master."
"You go outside the Divine Palace to guard. If there is any situation, transmit it to me." Wu Yuan communicated through mental transmission.
Xiao Hei nodded, disappearing within Yanqing Palace.
...
Underneath Yanqing Palace.
"Is this the teleportation array?" King Qionghai held his breath, looking at the four giant spatial silver towers, extremely shocked.
Although he couldn't recognize what the spatial silver towers were, he vaguely sensed that they were probably precious treasures.
"Qionghai, as I taught you before, enter and activate the formation." The black-robed Wu Yuan said, "There are enough source crystals here. After you arrive at the other side, investigate the situation, and then activate the teleportation array to come back."
Speaking of which, the black-robed Wu Yuan waved his hand, throwing a large piece of source crystal to King Qionghai.
Thousands of kilograms!
"So many source crystals." King Qionghai received it, speechless, secretly muttering to himself, "The Master is indeed generous."
King Qionghai remembered that when he first got dozens of kilograms of source crystals, he treated them as treasures.
"Master is so wealthy. Previously, when he exchanged for the Dao Repository techniques with us using source crystals and source stones, it was not plundering us at all." King Qionghai thought to himself, "Clearly, he was motivating us, urging us not to slack off."
While contemplating, King Qionghai tried to shrink his body and entered the teleportation array.
Afterwards, everything proceeded according to the steps, with the source crystals being placed into the 'energy chamber.'
Humming~ The four silver towers, sealed for many years, lit up in succession. Faint patterns appeared on the chains between the four silver towers.
"Whoosh~"
Accompanied by the eruption of a soaring light from the four silver towers, it soon subsided and returned to calm. Inside the teleportation array, it was now empty.
King Qionghai, vanished.
Wu Yuan's refining qi Avatar, waiting, leaving was not difficult, but the challenge lay in returning safely.
As time passed, fifteen minutes went by.
Inside the teleportation array, it remained calm.
"Could it be that King Qionghai encountered an accident?" Wu Yuan frowned slightly. King Qionghai was a Refining Body cultivator at the pinnacle of Transcendence Ninth Layer, with robust vitality. Could he really be facing a great danger?
Just as Wu Yuan hesitated, suddenly, whoosh! The four silver towers faintly lit up, followed by a hazy halo.
King Qionghai had reappeared between the spatial silver towers.
"Qionghai?" Wu Yuan's eyes brightened.
"Master." King Qionghai seemed very excited and rushed out of the teleportation array, saying excitedly, "Master, it's the Grand Realm! The other end of the teleportation array is likely the legendary Qingling Grand Realm."
"Oh?" Wu Yuan's eyes lit up.
This was the best outcome.
"Master, please take a look." King Qionghai flipped his hand and took out a crystal sphere, precisely the water-mage's crafted Water Shadow Crystal Ball.
The crystal ball projected an image, revealing an expansive and boundless world.
"Master, at the other end of the teleportation array, there is also a large teleportation array." King Qionghai continued, "However, it is buried deep in the earth, and it seems to be covered by an invisible array that conceals its aura."
"I spent quite a while breaking through the ground."
"It's vast and boundless, with no harsh environments."
King Qionghai quickly narrated the information he knew.
Wu Yuan suddenly understood.
But his heart was filled with anticipation.
He didn't seek any great opportunities; as long as he could safely reach the Grand Realm through the teleportation array, it would be a great result.
"However, Master, the source crystals consumed when activating the teleportation array are much more than you originally estimated." King Qionghai continued, "To activate it once, it requires two thousand kilograms of source crystals."
"What?" Wu Yuan's face changed slightly.
A thousand kilograms of source crystals didn't sound like much.
But according to the intelligence information Wu Yuan knew, the energy consumption for such a mid-level teleportation array was generally between two hundred and three hundred kilograms of source crystals.
Consuming ten times more? What could be the reason?
After pondering for a while, the black-robed Wu Yuan spoke softly, "Perhaps it's due to long-term disrepair or maybe the great distance between them. Anyway, let's go."
Two thousand kilograms of source crystals?
Even if it was twenty thousand kilograms, Wu Yuan could afford it.
His determination to go to the Grand Realm was firm and unchangeable.
Swoosh! Swoosh! The black-robed Wu Yuan and King Qionghai entered the teleportation array once again.
Two thousand kilograms of source crystals were placed in the 'energy chamber,' accompanied by a dazzling light, and both disappeared from the teleportation array.
Inside the quiet room of Yanqing Palace.
"I wonder if this journey to the Grand Realm will be smooth." White-robed Wu Yuan slowly closed his eyes and began to meditate.
...
In the Xia Mountain World, possessing a complete world source and even an independent world, it would appear vast and boundless when observed up close. This kind of world nurtured countless lives and gave rise to many civilizations.
Outside the world was an endless and lonely starry sky, boundless and limitless.
In a distant space-time region from the Xia Mountain World, standing here allows for a clear view of one enormous world after another, each comparable in size to the Xia Mountain World.
Many worlds operate continuously according to certain fixed rules.
The Xia Mountain World is just one among numerous worlds, relatively inconspicuous.
In this space, there are floating majestic palaces, undulating continuously, with faint glimpses of many beings walking and living within.
One of the palaces.
Outside the palace, many powerful soldiers patrol, their gaze ice-cold, devoid of vitality.
Suddenly.
"Heavenly Sage Qiming, urgent matter! Urgent matter!" An urgent voice came, followed by a black-robed man rushing to the outside of the palace, holding a jade token.
"Stop!"
"Impudent! Audacious!" The soldiers immediately changed their expressions, roaring and wielding their weapons, intending to stop him.
The black-robed man was startled.
But in an instant, an invisible ripple came from inside the palace, causing the soldiers who were about to act to quickly calm down, though still coldly staring at the black-robed man.
The black-robed man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What is it?" A indifferent voice suddenly came out from the dim divine hall. "Zang Gan, you disturb my cultivation. If your matter doesn't please me, you should know the consequences."
The face of the black-robed man changed slightly.
"Heavenly Sage, just now, the Blood Refining Demon Army reported that someone escaped from the Blood Refining World." The black-robed man knelt on the ground and urgently said, "World number 30056, originally named Xia Mountain World. Just now, the boundary-sealing array detected a 'teleportation array' breaking through the sealed barrier."
"Two transcendent lives have left."
"Heavenly Sage, should we send someone to capture them?" The black-robed man said solemnly.

PS: First update.
Volume Five has been renamed 'Entering the Grand Realm.' It's not a change to the outline but, during the outline refinement, I found that this volume was too long. Therefore, it has been broken down to be more detailed, which shouldn't affect the reading experience.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 192 Entering the Grand Realm (Seeking Monthly Votes)
"Escaped from the Blood Refining World? To be able to break through the boundary-sealing array, is it a high-level teleportation array? Or is it a very special intermediate-level teleportation array?" The indifferent voice in the hall carried a hint of surprise.
"I don't know; the Blood Refining Demon Army is only responsible for exploration."
The black-robed man respectfully said, "These Blood Refining Worlds are all shrouded in the power of the origin, making it challenging to investigate them clearly."
Inside the hall, no more sound came out.
The black-robed man silently waited.
After a while, the indifferent voice in the hall spoke again, "I just checked the relevant information about the Xia Mountain World. This world only returned to normal six thousand years ago and became the Blood Refining World."
"Yes," the black-robed man nodded.
The Blood Refining Demon Palace controls many worlds, all numbered for identification. The world with the number 30056 is just one among the inconspicuous worlds.
So, it's normal for the Heavenly Sage not to know.
"Do you have a guarantee of capturing them?" The indifferent voice asked.
"No absolute certainty," the black-robed man dared not make a promise and honestly said, "The aura of the teleportation array broke through the array in an instant, indicating that the method of setting up the teleportation array is very clever."
"We can only roughly speculate that the destination should be the 'Red Moon Immortal Continent,' a subordinate of the 'White Cang Immortal Nation.' But where exactly on the Immortal Continent..."
The black-robed man's voice gradually lowered.
Not to mention the vast and boundless Immortal Nations.
Even in the Immortal Continent plane, which is considered vast, with countless living beings and numerous cultivators, how can one find them?
"Are you talking nonsense to me?"
The tone in the hall changed, becoming low, "Most of these Blood Refining Worlds we manage are affiliated with the 'Red Moon Plane.' Can they directly reach other Immortal Nations?"
"Crossing Immortal Nations through teleportation, even high-level teleportation arrays cannot achieve that."
The black-robed man listened with a bitter smile.
"Heavenly Sage, what now?" The black-robed man asked cautiously.
"For this information, how many people are aware of it?" The calm voice in the hall.
"Not many," the black-robed man said, "Apart from me, only a Purple Mansion True Immortal, responsible for guarding the boundary-sealing array, is aware."
These surrounding soldiers?
They are not true beings but puppets controlled by the Heavenly Sage in the hall.
Time passed second by second.
Suddenly.
"Demon Lord once said that when the Great Dao operates, a glimmer of hope should be left. Since these two transcendent lives were able to break through the boundary-sealing array, it proves that they have found this glimmer of hope." The voice in the hall said slowly, "There is no need to investigate further."
"Yes." The black-robed man breathed a sigh of relief.
"In addition, since the boundary-sealing array has been broken through, then go and reinforce the array, making sure there are no more loopholes." The voice in the hall continued, "Also, the Purple Mansion True Immortal has been diligent in his duty. As a reward, send a gift on my behalf."
"Yes." The black-robed man said softly, "If those two transcendent lives are fortunate, I assure you..."
"Transcendent lives? What transcendent lives?" The voice in the hall carried a hint of coldness.
The black-robed man instantly understood and said, "Yes, I came today just to report to the Heavenly Sage as usual."
"Speak good words and do good deeds," the voice in the hall said indifferently, "Don't delude yourself. For some mistakes I make, I am only reprimanded."
"If you make a mistake, you will be demoted to the Blood Refining Battlefield."
"Yes." A chill ran through the black-robed man's heart.
Blood Refining Battlefield?
Heaven! Even if he were beaten to death, he wouldn't want to go to that so-called hellish place.
Soon after, the black-robed man left the palace and came to the starry sky outside, muttering to himself, "It's ruthless enough. Such a significant matter, they want to keep it hidden?"
Reinforcing the array again is to conceal the traces of the broken boundary-sealing array. The reward is to silence the Purple Mansion True Immortal guarding the array.
The final threat is to silence himself.
"True." The black-robed man shook his head slightly, "With transcendent lives escaping from the Blood Refining World, once it is discovered by those above..."
His heart turned cold.
The position of a Heavenly Sage is lofty, but he can only be considered unlucky.
But for a small character in the Purple Mansion realm like him? It's undoubtedly death!
Thinking of this,
"Blood Refining Eighth Palace." The black-robed man's gaze swept over the floating palaces in the starry sky behind him.
"When will I have a palace of my own?"
Swoosh!
He flew into the nearby teleportation array.
The starry sky is boundless, and the seemingly not too distant world might be just a few million or even hundreds of millions of miles away!
...
Regarding the matters in the mysterious starry sky, Wu Yuan was unaware.
Hum~
With the activation of the teleportation array, Wu Yuan felt a slight discomfort in his divine soul, followed by an invisible force enveloping his entire body.
"Space?" Wu Yuan, relying on his powerful divine soul, sensed something.
In the Purple Mansion realm and the Mountain and River realm, one would come into contact with space. Wu Yuan's divine soul, compared to most Purple Mansion True Immortals, was not considered weak.
Soon after,
The surroundings took shape, and what entered Wu Yuan's eyes was darkness. However, relying on his powerful vision, he easily distinguished that he was in one of the four spatial silver towers covered in dust.
Whoosh~ Silently, brightness illuminated the surroundings.
Spell - Flash!
A very ordinary auxiliary spell.
"Indeed, it's buried underground." Wu Yuan murmured to himself.
As soon as he landed, he felt the tremendous gravity of the earth. However, the impact on his divine sense was not significant. Therefore, Wu Yuan's divine sense easily spread out for dozens of miles.
And in the area he sensed, there were rocks, soil, rocks, caves, soil...
"This?" Wu Yuan was slightly surprised.
In his perception, within dozens of miles in all directions, it was actually all rocks and soil. How far was this place from the surface?
Most importantly,
In Wu Yuan's divine sense, the place he was in had no trace of any teleportation array. When his divine sense swept through, it felt like this place was ordinary soil.
Unless seen with the naked eye, no one would probably believe that there was a large teleportation array here.
"Is it a formation? It can isolate divine sense investigation? No, not isolation, but deception." Wu Yuan realized.
It was similar to what King Qiong Hai had described.
"Qiong Hai, how far is this place from the surface?" Wu Yuan asked in a low voice.
"I just tried it, about eight hundred miles." King Qiong Hai's body had shrunk to about six meters, the smallest size he could achieve.
Like a python that could shrink to an extremely small size from birth, that was a natural talent.
King Qiong Hai belonged to the dragon race and had higher innate talents than ordinary monsters, but compared to pythons, he was far inferior.
"Eight hundred miles?" Wu Yuan was startled.
Really deep.
No wonder it took King Qiong Hai so long to return just now.
"Let's go, get out." Wu Yuan whispered and took a step out of the teleportation array.
This place was an almost collapsing cave.
Only the four spatial silver towers remained intact, perhaps intentionally disguised as such.
Swoosh! King Qiong Hai quickly followed.
"Master, what about these?" King Qiong Hai pointed to the four spatial silver towers behind him.
"Just leave it here," Wu Yuan shook his head. "Although I practice the Qi Refinement path, I'm not good at formations. I can't see through the formations here."
Not to mention not being able to see through them.
With Wu Yuan's divine sense, he couldn't even perceive the existence of the formations.
"This teleportation array is the only channel connecting us to the Central Land," Wu Yuan said in a low voice. "And it has been in existence for a long time, indicating that its original concealment methods are still effective."
"So."
"Our best choice is to stay the same," Wu Yuan said lightly.
If you don't understand, don't mess around.
Wu Yuan understood the story of Xiaogui Cao Sui.
"Understood," King Qiong Hai nodded.
Boom~
With a thought, Wu Yuan released waves of earth-yellow Qi.
Domain!
"Let's go, follow the path you took before." Wu Yuan's Domain carried King Qiong Hai, moving rapidly towards the surface at a speed of two seconds per mile.
The higher they went, the less oppressive the earth became.
This forward speed was not fast for Wu Yuan, who was comprehending the mysteries of the earth. One could even say it was slow.
The reason was simple.
While moving forward, Wu Yuan's Domain force was activated, causing the path they traveled to quickly restore, almost as if it were untouched.
"Be cautious when walking in the Great Realm. We are newcomers, and it's not excessive to be cautious."
"This teleportation array is extremely important, so we need to try to erase any traces of passage, making it impossible for others to detect," Wu Yuan instructed.
King Qiong Hai nodded, becoming even more admiring of Wu Yuan.
When he explored alone just now, he didn't think about so many things.
Not long after.
"Tear~" The earth silently tore apart, and Wu Yuan and King Qiong Hai flew out, landing on the ground. The originally torn ground quickly recovered.
"Mountains and forests?"
Wu Yuan's gaze swept over the surroundings. Tall trees towered, and mountain ranges stacked. In the nearby stream, fish were also swimming.
At first glance, there was not much difference between this place and most mountain ranges in the Central Land world.
Who would have thought that eight hundred miles below the earth, there would be a high-level teleportation array?
"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is truly rich, more than ten times that of the Central Land." Wu Yuan sighed inwardly. "Creatures here are naturally much stronger."
Just like the creatures in the Central Land, their overall strength was much stronger than the Blue Star in his previous life, making it easier to become a Martial Dao Master.
But in the Central Land, becoming a Qi Refiner is difficult.
According to Wu Yuan's information, in the Great Realm, with the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the naturally powerful creatures, both Qi Refining and Body Refining are much easier.
"And the clarity of comprehension of the power of heaven and earth is slightly higher," Wu Yuan's divine soul sensed the operation of various powers of heaven and earth.
Cultivation and enlightenment are both easier.
Coupled with the vast number of creatures, naturally, powerful beings abound in the Great Realm.
"Rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth." King Qiong Hai greedily breathed in the air. His dragon whiskers floated as he looked at Wu Yuan. "Master, where are we going now?"
"To the east, there is a village with signs of human habitation. Let's go check it out, understand the situation, see where we are, and then make a decision," Wu Yuan said.
Swoosh!
Wu Yuan took a step and went east.
In the sky, three 'suns' were floating close together.
So, Wu Yuan could judge the direction more clearly.
Chapter 193 Taiyuan Divine Court (Three updates, extra updates for the Alliance Leader 'Jingqi'!)
One person and one beast walked through the mountains and forests.
"No need to be too fast," Wu Yuan's voice echoed in King Qiong Hai's mind. "We still don't know where we are. Don't expose all our strength, and don't fly."
"Yes, Master," King Qiong Hai nodded in agreement.
At the same time, as they moved forward, every now and then, with a thought, Wu Yuan distorted the surrounding light, making it invisible to ordinary people.
Of course, this trick was not very effective against cultivators who had comprehended the power of heaven and earth!
Controlling the power of heaven and earth naturally made them aware of the abnormality of the distorted light.
After only traveling a dozen miles.
"Master, look at that." King Qiong Hai suddenly spoke, pointing his claws to the sky in the distance.
In the sky, dozens of miles away, there was a silver flying boat sailing in the air. The flying boat was very large but not very fast.
"It's a tenth-grade flying boat." Wu Yuan glanced briefly and said indifferently, "It's for ordinary people."
"Ordinary people using flying boats?" King Qiong Hai was surprised.
"Qiong Hai, it seems you haven't carefully read the common knowledge in the Dao Cang Tower." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly. "In the Great Realm, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant. Therefore, ordinary source stone veins are everywhere, and low-grade source stones are not very useful for cultivators."
"But for Qi Refiners, they still crafted some ordinary flying boats for ordinary people. They are even lower than ninth-grade spiritual tools, hence called tenth-grade. These most basic flying boats are powered by low-grade source stones." Wu Yuan explained.
King Qiong Hai listened with amazement.
"Don't look at the Great Realm with the perspective of Central Land."
"Central Land is quite backward. There are few Qi Refiners, so they only emphasize combat for now."
Wu Yuan said solemnly, "But the Great Realm has a long history, and Qi Refiners have developed a splendid civilization. It's not just about battles; they have incredible achievements in various aspects like culture, arts, architecture, and more. Even ordinary people can live very well."
The two continued to move forward.
Sure enough, they soon saw an extremely wide road paved with a special kind of stone, extending to both sides. At the same time, occasional vehicles could be seen passing by on the road.
These vehicles were not like the horse carriages in the Central Land but more like the "cars" from Wu Yuan's previous life. Wu Yuan understood that they were all powered by "source stones."
Similarly, on the vast fields, there were large puppets doing labor. These puppets all had ordinary human operators.
"It's understood, Master."
King Qiong Hai continued, "These puppets are the 'cultivation puppets' used by ordinary people. They are incredibly strong, somewhat useless in battles, but can be used for planting and other labor. One person can match hundreds or thousands of ordinary people."
Although King Qiong Hai was not enthusiastic, he had also read some common knowledge.
At the same time.
Appearing in their field of vision was a small village. This village was different from the 'Central Land village' known by Wu Yuan and King Qiong Hai.
It was exceptionally beautiful.
Rows of houses were neatly arranged, and a few courtyards even had small flying boats and those large cultivation puppets.
And, some sparring grounds.
"This village is more similar to the rural villages in my previous interstellar era." Wu Yuan sighed inwardly. "Indeed, the true cultivation world is different from the backward cultivation world imagined in novels."
Back then, when Wu Yuan read the common knowledge about Qingling Great Realm from the eight immortal scrolls given by the Boundary Lord, he was equally shocked, thinking that it was different from what he had imagined about cultivating.
But later on.
Wu Yuan was convinced by a sentence in the immortal scrolls—cultivation is for a better and longer life, not for enduring more hardships!
Cultivators are not stuck in the past.
Cultivators don't have to open caves and establish abodes in the wilderness, like so-called hermits.
No!
The so-called tranquility, detachment, and immersion in the world are attitudes towards everything, not truly living like primitive people.
That is not true cultivation.
"Master, do most ordinary people live so well in the Great Realm?" King Qiong Hai couldn't help asking.
"No," Wu Yuan shook his head slightly. "The Great Realm is vast, with fairy countries like forests and fairy continents like tides. Leaders of different forces will have different views, so their territories can generally be divided into three categories."
"Three categories?" King Qiong Hai was puzzled.
"The first type is what we see now, revealing the whole picture." Wu Yuan smiled, "Everyone practices martial arts, everyone is like a dragon! It's also the path I've been practicing in Central Land."
King Qiong Hai couldn't help but be stunned.
He remembered that although Wu Yuan's rule in Central Land was short, his ideas and methods had brought about earth-shaking changes.
"For Qi Refiners, crafting a large number of puppets for ordinary people, improving the lives of ordinary people, seems like a waste of time. It's similar to me using earth-based spells to create a bridge across the river in Yunjing City." Wu Yuan explained, "But doing this can greatly free up the time of ordinary people, so that the majority no longer have to toil for their daily meals."
"Most of the time can be spent on martial arts cultivation."
"In this way, do you think there will be more born warriors and cultivators?" Wu Yuan smiled.
King Qiong Hai fell into contemplation.
He was just a monster, although he established a so-called monster country in the South Sea, it was like managing a flock of sheep. Where would he think about such profound principles?
"However, there are also drawbacks."
Wu Yuan said softly, "Martial arts cultivation, the evolution of life, is lonely and lonely. The pursuit of the immortal path is even more elusive."
"If life is too comfortable, without a sense of crisis, it's easy for people to slack off." Wu Yuan said, "However, in the human race, this type of immortal civilization occupies the mainstream. Even though many immortal realms and forces have made improvements, they still haven't escaped the framework of 'everyone is like a dragon.'"
King Qiong Hai nodded involuntarily.
"The second type is the primitive faction," Wu Yuan said. "For example, the witch clan mainly follows this type, not improving the lives of ordinary people too much. They advocate 'strong emerge from barbarity,' emphasizing the survival of the fittest and primitive fighting."
"After all, the evolution of life and the competition of the immortal path are ultimately bloody and cruel, without so much gentleness and frugality." Wu Yuan sighed.
Survival of the fittest? King Qiong Hai's eyes lit up.
He felt that this faction more suited his taste.
"Is there another type?" King Qiong Hai couldn't help asking.
"The last type is the 'Asura Demon Path.'" Wu Yuan smiled. "Like the insect demons we encountered, they belong to this type. Demons born from the abyss and hell are all part of this immortal civilization. The strong among them rise on countless corpses."
"Of course, among the human race, there are also cultivators who follow the Asura Demon Path."
Wu Yuan said, "Survival of the fittest only talks about not avoiding competition and killing."
"But the Asura Demon Path believes that only by experiencing the most brutal and bloody fights, constantly teetering on the edge of life and death, can the most primitive and essential motivation of life be stimulated." Wu Yuan shook his head and sighed, "They not only don't avoid competition but encourage their subordinates to madly kill each other, each one like a frenzied devil."
"So, they are called the Asura Demon Path!"
"Some demon path powerhouses, when choosing disciples, deliberately incite slaughter in each world. In the end, only one person who survives and walks out of that world is qualified to become their disciple." Wu Yuan said.
King Qiong Hai listened with a chill in his heart.
In a world where only one person survives from mutual killing? That's a disciple?
Demon! Truly demonic!
"Everyone is like a dragon, survival of the fittest, Asura Demon Path," Wu Yuan said. "These three types of immortal civilizations, the boundaries are not absolute, they also learn from each other, their ideas are mixed, each has its flaws, but they have each given birth to great existences standing at the peak."
"However."
"It seems that we are more fortunate to come to a place that probably adheres to the 'everyone is like a dragon' philosophy." Wu Yuan smiled, "This type of civilization is relatively peaceful, and it is also the easiest to integrate into."
"Master, do you want to enter the village?" King Qiong Hai asked.
"No need."
"To gather intelligence, you don't necessarily have to ask one by one." Wu Yuan smiled, "Wait for me a moment."
Diagnosing an illness relies on observation, listening, questioning, and palpation.
Similarly, collecting intelligence is the same.
Just by observing the ways of life of these ordinary people, Wu Yuan had already discerned many mysteries. Likewise, with his expanded divine sense, he could observe even more.
For example—books!
Books are the crystallization of civilization, capable of recording the rise and fall of a civilization, from the grand scale to the life of an ordinary person.
In this ordinary village, there were quite a few books.
Just like when Wu Yuan first arrived in Central Land or when he first arrived at Yunsan, he immediately read a large number of books to gather intelligence.
Now, it was the same.
King Qiong Hai waited obediently.
As time passed, after Wu Yuan browsed through a large number of books with his divine sense and continuously 'overheard' the conversations of many ordinary people, the mysterious veil of this world was gradually unveiled by Wu Yuan.
"Every household worships the Taiyuan Divine Court and the Red Moon Immortal?"
Wu Yuan muttered to himself, "So, this is the territory governed by the Taiyuan Divine Court. Is this vast land under the command of the Red Moon Immortal?"
The vast world of the Grand Realm has countless temporal and spatial planes.
The celestial information given by the Lord only records a very small part of the information about the Grand Realm. After all, forces at the level of the Houfeng Tribe are countless in the Grand Realm.
Red Moon Immortal? Wu Yuan had not heard of it.
But the Taiyuan Divine Court, mentioned in the celestial information, was a colossal existence that spanned many dimensions and temporal spaces in the Qingling Grand Realm, one of the peak forces in the Grand Realm.
Obviously, the place the teleportation array led to was subordinate to the Taiyuan Divine Court and the land ruled by the Red Moon Immortal.
So, they worshiped both the Taiyuan Divine Court and the Red Moon Immortal.
Except for a few cultivation sects, generally speaking, the beliefs of countless beings are crucial to any force.
"Qiong Hai, let's go. We're heading to 'Fengchuan City.'" Wu Yuan suddenly said.
"Fengchuan City?" King Qiong Hai was puzzled.
"This vast land should be dominated by the human race, led by a powerful immortal called 'Red Moon Immortal.'"
"Under the Red Moon Immortal, there are countless cities here, divided into nine ranks. The cities of the lowest three ranks are mainly populated by ordinary people." Wu Yuan smiled. "Usually, it takes a city of the sixth rank or higher to have cultivators appearing."
"And Fengchuan City is a fifth-rank city, directly governed by the Red Moon Immortal Palace. It is a true city of cultivators."
"Fengchuan City, commands a radius of a million miles, gathering most of the cultivators in the surrounding million miles." Wu Yuan smiled. "Going there is the only way to know everything we want."
A million miles?
A city for cultivators? King Qiong Hai's eyes lit up with anticipation.
There, there might be treasures needed for his breakthrough.
"Master, what is the highest level of cultivators in Fengchuan City?" King Qiong Hai couldn't help but ask.
"You'll know when you get there." Wu Yuan smiled faintly.
King Qiong Hai nodded involuntarily.
But he didn't know that Wu Yuan also wasn't clear. After all, how much profound intelligence could be obtained from such a small village? If it weren't for the Taiyuan Immortal Palace collecting belief and spreading radiance across the boundless land, Wu Yuan would find it difficult to understand even this little bit of information.
As for Fengchuan City?
Wu Yuan only knew that it was a fifth-rank city, and it was a place where countless ordinary people in this vast land, regarded as an immortal city of legends, could hardly visit once in their lifetime.
It was the most powerful city they were aware of.
As for higher-ranked fourth-rank cities? Third-rank cities? Those were not things these ordinary people could understand.
Hoo!
Wu Yuan waved his hand, and a purple flying boat flew out, about a hundred meters in size. It was one of the gains from killing Jin Ji back then.
An eighth-grade flying boat.
Wu Yuan's storage magic treasure could only accommodate items with dimensions slightly over a hundred meters. So, he could barely fit this flying boat.
"Come in." Wu Yuan said.
"This?" King Qiong Hai was surprised. "Master, didn't you say we should keep a low profile?"
"Before, we didn't know the situation, so we needed to keep a low profile." Wu Yuan said lightly. "But now, with confidence, we should act accordingly."
"Secondly."
"If we go to Fengchuan City, it's tens of thousands of miles away. Do you plan to walk there?" Wu Yuan shook his head and smiled.
King Qiong Hai immediately closed his mouth.
They quickly entered the flying boat, took off, accelerated, and the flying boat quickly soared to several thousand zhang high, reaching a top speed of about 1.6 li per second.
...
In the continuous mountain range, clouds and mist lingered.
Between the layers of clouds and mist, numerous palaces were built in the mountains. These palaces had many puppets, some patrolling, and some mechanistically performing certain tasks.
There were also many ordinary but outstanding-looking female mortals living here. However, these mortals had a fearful look in their eyes.
They were all abducted.
In one of the palaces.
"Comfortable!" A burly man with black hair was enjoying himself. As a cultivator, how powerful was his physique? Even though the women beneath him were martial artists, they were still struggling. They endured the pain, but had to make an effort to show a pleased expression, fearing to provoke the demon in front of them.
Suddenly.
"Big brother! Big brother!" An urgent voice suddenly sounded, echoing from a side corridor of the main hall.
"Get lost," the burly man with black hair said irritably.
"Big brother, there's a real issue," the voice persisted.
"You go down first." The burly man with black hair frowned, waving his hand to toss the woman beneath him aside.
The woman quickly grabbed her clothes and retreated.
"Come in." The burly man with black hair moved his thoughts, and a black robe draped over him. His gaze fell on the figure approaching from a distance.
Only to see a sinister young man in a silver robe hastily entering the hall.
"Third brother, you're disturbing me," the burly man with black hair said coldly.
"Hehe, big brother, no need to rush." The sinister young man in the silver robe said, "A fat lamb has come, a high-grade flying boat."
"The surveillance formation just sensed it."
"It's in the thirteenth area."
"Tracking techniques and tracking puppets have already locked onto this flying boat." The sinister young man in the silver robe said excitedly. "Big brother, are we doing this or not?"
Chapter 194: Qionghai, Preparing to Kill (Seeking Monthly Votes)
"High-grade flying boat?" The burly man with black hair frowned slightly. "Specify the grade."
Ninth grade is a high-grade.
Sixth grade is also a high-grade.
But there's a world of difference between the two.
"According to the observations of the puppets, the flying speed of the boat is about thirty-plus miles per breath." The sinister young man in the silver robe said, "And there's no particularly strong anti-tracking seal, so it should be an eighth-grade flying boat, with a small probability of being a seventh-grade."
"Is there any identification?" The burly man with black hair asked again.
Some major forces and large families usually have dedicated badges or banners, and few dare to offend them wherever they go. Even marauders like them usually avoid provoking them.
"No."
"Whether it's the emblem of the Red Moon Immortal Palace, the emblem of the Funan Sect, or the symbols of the six top families of the Star Sword City, none are present." The sinister young man in the silver robe continued, "Even the emblems of the several Purple Mansion families within the territory of Fengchuan City are not there."
The Funan Sect is a renowned major sect spanning millions of miles in all directions. Star Sword City is even a fourth-grade city, and Fengchuan City is a city under Star Sword City, commanding a vast territory with numerous cultivators. Of course, there are some powerful families.
Although Fengchuan City doesn't have particularly powerful families, being located in Fengchuan City means they shouldn't provoke local powers. Families established by true immortals are already giants to them.
In theory, cultivators venturing out on this vast land may face unpredictable life and death situations. However, whether it's senior members of sects or family elders, actual retaliations are relatively rare. Yet, it's better to be cautious, as accidents can happen.
"Big brother, from my comprehensive judgment, he's just a wandering cultivator." The sinister young man in the silver robe said solemnly, "Even if he has some background, he's probably just a disciple of a Foundation Establishment cultivator or someone not valued in the family."
"Or perhaps he's just lucky, and maybe he doesn't even have a Nascent Soul Jade." The sinister young man in the silver robe laughed, "Even if he does, we have nothing to fear."
"At worst."
"After completing this mission, we can move to another location." The sinister young man in the silver robe said, "Big brother, what do you think?"
The burly man with black hair fell into contemplation.
For marauding cultivators, each battle is a fight for life and death, so they must be careful. Because one unexpected event could lead to their demise. The team he leads isn't particularly strong, but they manage to survive freely precisely because they're cautious.
Several breaths passed.
"Big brother, if we don't decide soon, he'll escape our search range." The sinister young man in the silver robe urged, "If we don't even dare to hunt down such a weak wandering cultivator, I think we might as well disband."
The burly man with black hair frowned slightly.
But he also knew that what the other said was true.
"Go call Second and Fourth." The burly man with black hair said in a low voice.
"Yes." The sinister young man in the silver robe nodded.
"And bring the puppets and source crystal weapons." The burly man with black hair said, "Load them onto the battleship and be prepared."
The sinister young man in the silver robe was slightly surprised. Why is big brother being so cautious?
"Understood." The sinister young man in the silver robe nodded.
...Soon, in the heavy fog, a battleship over three hundred meters long slowly appeared.
Immediately, the flying boat ascended, the surrounding light distorted, and it disappeared into the void, quickly flying out of the mountains.
Leaving behind a large number of common servant girls trembling in the palace.
But they didn't dare to escape.
The puppets guarding around the palace were incredibly powerful and not something they, as third or fourth-grade martial artists, could resist.
In the high sky, a purple flying boat, about a hundred meters long, was swiftly advancing.
Inside the flying boat.
King Qionghai was lying in the main hall, cultivating. Although he had long reached the perfection of the Ninth Layer of the Profound Communication Realm, no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult to bring about a transformation in his body.
However, crossing from the Profound Communication Realm to the Spiritual Body Realm, with each attempt to break through the bottleneck, there was still a greater hope for success.
As for Wu Yuan, he was sitting cross-legged on a jade platform.
This jade platform was crafted by him, imitating the Enlightenment Jade Platform of the Yanqing Palace.
The effect was quite poor, but it was better than nothing.
"Relying on Source Crystals to cultivate slowly, in some time, I should be able to break through to the First Layer of the Golden Core." Wu Yuan secretly thought.
For the incarnation of Qi Sea, this was the fastest cultivation method.
"It's a pity that out of the nine life-bound flying swords, only two have undergone transformation." In Wu Yuan's Qi Sea.
Nine life-bound flying swords continued to revolve around the Sword Core.
Among them, two life-bound flying swords had an exceptionally strong aura, precisely the two flying swords that had transformed into 'Sixth Grade Spiritual Tools' after devouring large amounts of precious metal minerals.
Although Wu Yuan's Qi Sea was only at the Ninth Layer, his Foundation was strong enough that his magical power could rival the weakest First Layer of the Golden Core.
Therefore, his life-bound flying swords could undergo transformation.
As for the other seven flying swords? They were still Seventh Grade Spiritual Tools.
It's not that they couldn't transform, but Wu Yuan didn't have enough treasures on hand.
To allow two flying swords to undergo transformation was already the result of over a decade of hard work and exploration by many top experts and masters in the Middle Land.
"Fengchuan City, commanding a radius of a million miles, is much broader than the entire Middle Land." Wu Yuan, on the road, continued to release his divine sense.
Investigating intelligence along the way.
He even encountered several Qi Sea cultivators, and as for martial arts masters, there were countless. They also passed through some Eighth and Ninth Grade mundane cities.
Some Eighth Grade cities had a population of tens of thousands, which was not considered small.
Therefore.
As time passed, with more and more information gathered, Wu Yuan's understanding of this land became clearer and clearer.
This is the Immortal Continent—Red Moon Immortal Continent!
"One Immortal Continent, boundless and vast, is actually just one plane." Wu Yuan secretly said.
Immortal Continent plane.
It was mentioned in the Immortal Record intelligence. Back then, the Later Peak Tribe was a first-class force on this vast Immortal Continent plane.
"Fengchuan City is considered a large city."
"All kinds of cultivation resources should be very abundant; I hope not to disappoint me." Wu Yuan secretly said, "It would be best if I could obtain the Godly Void Jade from the 'Red Moon Immortal Realm'."
The Red Moon Immortal Realm is a 'Godly Void Realm' that countless cultivators enter on the Red Moon Immortal Continent.
It has unimaginable charm.
It can be regarded as the second world for cultivators!
Just as Wu Yuan was contemplating while cultivating.
"Hmm?" A hint of doubt flashed in Wu Yuan's eyes. With a thought, the massive flying boat began to slow down.
Quickly came to a stop!
"Powerful cultivator 200 miles away?" Wu Yuan's eyes turned slightly cold.
The divine soul of the Qi Refining Avatar was relatively weak, even though it had reached the level of Yang Soul, it could only extend its divine sense for about sixty miles in all directions.
However, this could be clearly detected by divine sense.
Combined with the comprehension of the Dao of heaven and earth, even movements a thousand miles away could be vaguely sensed by Wu Yuan.
Just a moment ago.
Wu Yuan's divine sense captured a faint but powerful spiritual energy fluctuation about two hundred miles away.
However.
Hovering in the sky and looking through the flying boat, the high altitude two hundred miles away appeared to be empty.
Wu Yuan believed in his judgment, and the weak spiritual energy fluctuation still did not dissipate.
At the same time.
"Hmm?" Wu Yuan's divine sense keenly perceived that on his flying boat, there was a faint and extremely weak aura entwined at some point.
Almost imperceptible!
If Wu Yuan had not sensed the movement two hundred miles away in advance and suddenly awakened, carefully investigating the flying boat with his divine sense, he would not have been able to distinguish it.
"Tracking talisman?" Wu Yuan realized.
Different from the Middle Land, the cultivators of the great realms were not straightforward in their battles. Arrays, talismans, puppets, and many other means emerged endlessly.
There were various methods for tracking alone.
"Am I being watched?" Wu Yuan instantly judged, "Is it an ambush? Did I accidentally pass through the territory of some Qi Refining bandits who like to plunder?"
Wu Yuan speculated.
"Master, what's wrong?" King Qionghai raised his head with a low voice. He sensed that the flying boat had stopped.
"Trouble ahead." Wu Yuan whispered, "No matter, let's change course."
"Phew!"
A strand of true essence flew out, and with the assistance of divine sense, it quickly wiped away the faint aura of the tracking spell on the boat.
At the same time.
"Swoosh!" The purple flying boat changed direction, directly avoiding the source of the spiritual energy fluctuation far away and heading in another direction.
Wu Yuan was not afraid but unwilling to provoke trouble.
"There's no need for unnecessary life-and-death struggles; it's best not to get involved." Wu Yuan thought to himself. Those who dared to plunder were mostly confident.
However, just two seconds after the purple flying boat changed direction.
"Hmm?" A hint of anger flashed in Wu Yuan's eyes.
Because!
With the cooperation of his divine sense and the perception of the heavens and earth, he could vaguely perceive a majestic spiritual energy fluctuation transmitting.
A black flying boat battleship had appeared unreservedly at the end of the heavens and earth, accelerating toward the purple flying boat Wu Yuan was riding.
The speed was very fast.
"One hundred and twenty-six miles per second? Sixth-grade flying boat battleship?" Wu Yuan's eyes were cold. "Is it really like chewing gum, impossible to shake off?"
The normal flying speed of a First Layer Golden Core cultivator (Ninth-rank Foundation) was twenty miles per second.
That is, one hundred and twenty miles per breath.
This speed was considered the threshold speed for the Golden Core level.
"Qionghai." Wu Yuan looked down at King Qionghai.
"Master." King Qionghai raised his head.
"Get ready, we're going to kill." Wu Yuan coldly uttered four words.
... Inside the rapidly advancing black flying boat battleship, four figures stood.
The leader was the sturdy and black-haired man.
"Boss, my tracking spell has been dispelled." The silver-robed strange young man was somewhat surprised.
"It seems that this sheep is not so easy to catch." Another black-robed bald young man said in a low voice.
"It should be that the movements of the battleship were too loud and were detected by them, perhaps there is a probing magical treasure." The last one, a purple-robed woman with a charming face of about thirty, said softly.
The others agreed.
"Fourth sister, catch up, release the puppet first." The sturdy black-haired man said coldly, "Probe the opponent's strength, and at the same time, you and the third brother cooperate. The third brother is responsible for activating the 'Source Crystal Heavenly Thunder Formation' at any time."
"Yes." The woman in the purple robe said.
"Boss, rest assured, leave the formation to me." The silver-robed strange young man exclaimed excitedly, "The thunder formation on the battleship can unleash an attack equivalent to the strength of a Fourth Layer Golden Core."
"Second-in-command, after the puppet probes, you protect me and handle the fight." The sturdy black-haired man said.
The bald young man nodded.
They had experienced countless similar battles.
Among the four, two were responsible for frontal combat, the silver-robed strange young man was skilled in formations, and the purple-robed woman was a true artifact refiner, specializing in crafting flying boats, controlling puppets, and various other skills.
Their collaboration was essential to unleash their full strength.
It may sound slow.
But in reality, cultivators communicated with divine sense, and their reactions were extremely fast. Despite the two hundred miles between them, the black flying boat battleship was much faster than the purple flying boat.
Just eight seconds.
The black flying boat battleship was already close to Wu Yuan and the others.
Without any hesitation.
"Release the puppets!" The sturdy black-haired man ordered.
The woman in the purple robe moved her mind.
"Boom! Boom!" The bottom of the black flying boat battleship suddenly opened.
Then, four enormous puppet-like dragons, resembling true dragons, rushed out, roaring and joining forces to attack the purple flying boat flying below.
Almost simultaneously.
"Gravity Formation!" The silver-robed strange young man sat cross-legged on a giant sphere, and layers of runes appeared on the surface of the sphere.
"Hum~" Centered on the black flying boat battleship, an invisible force instantly enveloped an area of ten miles in radius.
In an instant, the speed of the purple flying boat sharply decreased.
"Roar~" "Roar~" "Roar~" The four dragon puppets, each exceeding sixty meters, had a speed no less than that of a Qi Refining cultivator in the Ninth Layer, at least a Sixth-grade puppet!
In the blink of an eye, they swooped from four directions, roaring towards the purple flying boat.
The flying boat, about a hundred meters long, seemed like a lamb about to be slaughtered.
Suddenly.
"Get lost!" A loud shout echoed through the heavens and the earth, followed by a green dragon with flowing whiskers rushing out of the flying boat. Its body quickly grew massive.
Especially the pair of dragon claws on its front limbs, shimmering with a terrifying cold light!
"Splash~" "Splash~"
The claws roared, fiercely grabbing one of the dragon puppet's that pounced from mid-air.
"Boom~" The massive body of the dragon puppet staggered, almost falling to the ground. Cracks appeared on its metallic head.
"Green Dragon Spirit Beast?"
"At least in the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining?" "It's a source technique!" This scene shocked the four people inside the black flying boat battleship.
It was too brutal.
Although these dragon puppets were only ordinary Sixth-grade puppets, their combat power was comparable to a Ninth Layer Qi Refining cultivator.
However, their bodies were very resilient.
Yet, a single strike caused cracks?
Especially the purple-robed woman, her complexion was unsightly. Her divine sense was integrated into the puppet's control, and if the puppet was damaged, her divine soul would also be affected.
"Kill!" The purple-robed woman gritted her teeth and continued to control the four puppets to besiege King Qionghai. However, she didn't dare to engage in a direct confrontation again.
"Bang~" The cabin door opened.
Once they took action, there was no reason to hold back.
Swoosh! Swoosh! The sturdy black-haired man and the bald young man were instantly covered in battle armor, swiftly rushing out of the flying boat.
... "Die!"
King Qionghai rampaged through the void, wielding his claws and whipping the air with his massive tail, forcing the four dragon puppet-like creatures to retreat step by step.
"Source Technique, it's really useful!" King Qionghai's fighting spirit soared. This was the first time he had fought so freely since cultivating the Source Technique.
Source Technique — Mountain Driving.
It was a Source Technique that cultivated the body, allowing it to erupt with unimaginable strength!
Suddenly.
"Star Sword, only me." A figure in black armor darted out of the flying boat, surrounded by a multitude of flying swords that circled around him.
A total of eighteen!
Like a river of swordsmanship, over a dozen flying swords slashed towards King Qionghai.
Beside this figure in black armor, a giant in red armor appeared, and numerous tough vines extended from his body.
The vines grew, spreading across the void, also enveloping King Qionghai, attempting to bind him.
"Golden Core cultivator? Ninth Layer Qi Refining, Body Refining practitioner? The primary lifebound spirit seems to be a vine." King Qionghai's face changed slightly, repeatedly shouting, "Master, save me."
Chapter 195: Nine Swords Converge into Brilliance (Seeking Subscriptions)
King Qionghai communicated with Wu Yuan for help while desperately resisting the opponent's attacks.
"Bang!"
"Bang!" "Bang!" Those sword-like flying swords, like a river of swords, struck King Qionghai's massive body in the blink of an eye.
Each sword was as heavy as ten thousand catties!
Each sword was extremely sharp, possessing formidable penetrating power.
Despite wearing spiritual armor, King Qionghai still felt as if each sword light could ignore the armor's defense, causing severe damage to his flesh.
In an instant.
"Pu~" King Qionghai was pierced by those flying swords, his dragon whiskers stained with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.
"Splash~" "Splash~" The red-armored giant, who was using the Source Technique, was entwined with numerous vines. These vines seemed to grow slowly but, in reality, surged like lightning, spreading and pervading the heavens and earth.
Each vine tore and entwined around King Qionghai's body.
"Get lost!" King Qionghai spat out blood but still swung his claws, shattering many vines. However, more vines grew and surged towards him.
There was a faint trend of completely overwhelming King Qionghai.
"What a powerful spiritual beast."
"They have all cultivated the Source Technique."
"Second brother's 'Whirlwind Vine' is becoming more and more powerful." The silver-robed eccentric and the purple-clad woman, hiding in the flying boat, marveled.
Both of them excelled in auxiliary methods.
However, when facing tough opponents during an ambush, especially in critical moments of life and death, they still relied on the eldest and second brother.
"This dragon, stop struggling." The red-armored giant smiled and transmitted his voice. He was full of confidence.
If it were a one-on-one situation, he wouldn't be so sure.
But with the eldest brother, a Golden Core cultivator, suppressing the situation and the second brother slightly using flying swords to suppress, he was confident he could capture the opponent.
"A Qi Refining Ninth Layer dragon with a powerful spiritual body is rare. Capturing it alive can fetch a good price." The red-armored giant was happily contemplating.
Suddenly.
"Second brother, be careful." The black-haired burly man, who had been vigilantly watching the purple flying boat, hadn't shown a smile. At this moment, his face suddenly changed.
There was no time for much thought.
"Swish!" A black flying sword appeared by the side of the burly man, shooting out like lightning.
Almost simultaneously, a brownish light streaked across the sky!
"Clang!"
A dreadful collision sound.
The primordial flying sword controlled by the burly man collided with the brownish light, and the energy shockwaves spread in all directions.
"Poof~" The burly man's mind shook, feeling as if his lifebound flying sword had struck an indestructible wall.
It was blasted off to one side.
"My lifebound flying sword was actually directly blasted away?" The burly man's face changed drastically.
He instantly retreated backward.
"Hmm?" The red-armored giant's face showed a hint of fear. He instinctively swung the vines in his hand.
"Splash~" "Splash~" "Splash~" Like cutting cucumbers with a knife, the brownish light streaked across, swiftly severing one thick and tough vine after another.
Countless vines broke.
In the blink of an eye, over a hundred thick vines were swept away, and King Qionghai, who had been entangled and restricted, immediately regained his freedom.
"Master!" King Qionghai was extremely excited.
"Swoosh!"
At this moment, the burly man, as well as the silver-robed eccentric and purple-clad woman in the flying boat, clearly saw it.
The brownish light was a flying sword!
At the same time.
They also saw, from the seemingly inconspicuous purple flying boat in the distance, a figure in a black robe had emerged.
Cold! Murderous! Like a killing god!
"Splash~" The brownish sword light tore through the void. After cutting off the thick vines, its speed didn't diminish at all, resembling a bolt of lightning as it attacked the red-armored giant.
"Ah! Block!" The red-armored giant's face turned red, too busy to feel distressed for his lifebound spiritual beast suffering heavy injuries.
The opponent came too fast.
Fast enough that he couldn't retreat at all.
He could only instinctively swing the large hammer that appeared in his hand, attempting to blast away the incoming flying sword.
"Boom!" Like small stones hitting a big truck.
The heavy hammer in the red-armored giant's hand instantly slipped out, followed by the brownish light flashing by, causing the red-armored giant's head to explode instantly.
"Swoosh~" "Swoosh~" "Swoosh~" Brownish light was surrounded by strands of air currents. These air currents, like sword lights, instantly tore the red-armored giant's body into pieces.
Like a puddle of mud, falling towards the ground.
The red-armored giant, dead!
"Haha, excellent!" King Qionghai excitedly roared.
"This?"
"Impossible!" The silver-robed eccentric and the purple-clad woman inside the flying boat were both shocked, their eyes wide open.
Their second brother was a Qi Refining Ninth Layer, seventh-grade foundational cultivator!
He used the Source Technique and wore battle armor.
Yet, he was killed with a single move?
"Qi Sea Ninth Layer? Probably one of the top-notch geniuses, and he also controls the domain?" Only the black-haired burly man felt terrified.
He was the strongest, with the highest vision, and could sense the terrifying power contained in the brownish flying sword.
Unrivaled!
In almost an instant.
"Third brother, immediately! Source Crystal Heaven Thunder Formation!" An urgent shout echoed in the mind of the silver-robed eccentric.
"Yes!" The silver-robed eccentric also knew that they had hit a hard nail this time.
Second brother was already dead.
If they didn't fight with all their might, they would all die!
"Hmm~" The black flying boat, which had been maintaining the 'Gravity Formation' to pull the purple flying boat, had silent, invisible purple patterns appearing at the forefront. At the same time, a large amount of flowing light converged on the patterns.
In the next moment.
This black flying boat erupted into a brilliant and dazzling light column, like a heavenly thunder, piercing through the void and directly attacking Wu Yuan.
"Kill him!" The silver-robed eccentric stared at Wu Yuan, determined.
The black-haired burly man was also nervous. He knew that if this blow didn't kill Wu Yuan, trouble would follow.
"This is our only chance." The purple-clad woman was the most nervous. This strike gathered the entire ship's energy.
Always on the verge of exploding.
But after this blow, trying to gather such strong power again would require starting from the Source Crystal, taking at least five breaths of time.
Five breaths?
More than enough for that mysterious and powerful man in black robes to slaughter them several times over.
... Like a heavenly thunder, the light column burst out from the black flying boat battleship, extremely fast.
But!
As fast as the heavenly thunder light column was, Wu Yuan's reaction speed was faster. When the countless purple lights began to gather, Wu Yuan, familiar with various pieces of information, instantly realized—Source Crystal weapon!
Source Crystal contained incredibly astonishing energy, so many Qi Refining cultivators attempted to release this energy instantly, even compressing it before erupting!
Throughout the long years, Source Crystal weapons were born.
Even in the mortal realm, holding a Source Crystal weapon could easily kill a Qi Sea realm cultivator.
According to the records in the immortal scroll given by the Domain Lord, many unimaginably powerful Source Crystal weapons could effortlessly kill Purple Mansion realm cultivators.
Of course, weapons of that level were much rarer and more expensive than Purple Mansion realm cultivators.
A Source Crystal weapon, fundamentally, was a very special treasure, similar in principle to the 'Heavenly Thunder Talisman' that Wu Yuan had used before.
So, when he sensed that the opponent had a Source Crystal weapon.
There was no hesitation.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" Over a dozen flying swords instantly appeared around him, and vast sword energy emerged, instantly forming two large 'Xuanhuang Nine Swords Formations.'
As for more sword formations? Wu Yuan could also control them, but there was no time to display them.
At the same time.
"Boom~" In an instant, a vast brownish air current completely enveloped an area of several hundred meters, protecting Wu Yuan.
Domain!
Following that, the terrifying heavenly thunder light column struck.
"Hiss~" The domain of earth, specializing in defense among the Five Elements domains, even a Qi Sea high-level cultivator would find it difficult to move an inch within. Yet, it was instantly pierced. However, the formidable power of this heavenly thunder light column was significantly weakened.
"Boom!" Like the collision of two stars, the intense light was enough to make mortals faint. The two large Xuanhuang Nine Swords Formations were dazzling and boundless.
Wu Yuan exerted the full power of the sword formations.
"Boom~"
The first layer of the sword formation seemed to have a tendency to collapse but also managed to block the impact of the terrifying light column.
As for the second sword formation composed of eight lifebound flying swords and one ordinary flying sword, it remained unaffected and motionless.
"Equivalent to a full-powered strike from a fourth-layer Gold Core cultivator, roughly at the level of understanding the domain," Wu Yuan realized.
This level of attack was indeed strong!
Unfortunately, for Wu Yuan at this point, as long as he could react and form a sword formation to resist, it wouldn't pose a fatal threat.
In terms of mana, Wu Yuan was indeed relatively weak.
But his divine sense was extremely powerful. Even though the divine sense of his Qi Refining avatar was relatively weaker, compared to when he killed Jinquan more than ten years ago, it was not weak at all.
More importantly, the comprehension of the domain!
In the fifteen years, Wu Yuan traveled through the mountains and rivers of the Middle Kingdom, reaching an extremely high level of understanding of the mysteries of the earth, far beyond what he could compare to in the past.
"Condense!" Wu Yuan's mind moved.
The first layer of the collapsing sword formation gathered again, merging with the second sword formation. Combined with the domain, the sword energy was vast, making people's hearts tremble.
"What?"
"The two sword formations protecting him. The Source Crystal Heaven Thunder Formation couldn't even break the first layer of the sword formation?" The black-haired burly man, the silver-robed eccentric, and the others felt a chill in their hearts.
They truly realized the terrifying strength of Wu Yuan.
"Escape!" The black-haired burly man didn't hesitate for a moment, instantly turning into a stream of light and fleeing into the distance.
"Trying to escape?" Wu Yuan's eyes were cold. With a thought, true yuan surged.
"Hmm~" Nine lifebound flying swords converged with a swoosh, instantly forming a terrifying earth-yellow divine radiance.
Xuanhuang Sword Formation, Second Layer - Nine Swords Forming a Radiant Halo!
"Boom!"
The divine radiance tore through the long sky, its speed no less than the heavenly thunder light column that the flying boat battleship had just struck.
"Splurt~" The divine radiance instantly pierced the sky for ten miles, blasting away several sword treasures from the black-haired burly man.
Directly passing through his body.
"Puff~" The blood, flesh, and bones erupted, evaporating instantly!
A Gold Core cultivator, dead!
... "Quick, escape." The silver-robed eccentric and the purple-clad woman were extremely frightened, hastily controlling the flying boat battleship, attempting to flee.
"Boom!"
Wu Yuan had already rushed over like lightning. The earth-yellow airflow surrounding him completely engulfed the battleship, and the battleship's speed sharply decreased, unable to break free.
"Die!" Wu Yuan's mind moved.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" Countless earth-yellow air currents gathered, instantly forming two terrifying giant palms. From two directions, they fiercely slapped the black flying boat battleship.
Like a child clapping hands with great force.
"Bang~" The battleship shook violently, and the silver-robed eccentric and the purple-clad woman inside almost couldn't stand, their faces filled with fear.
"Can't resist, the battleship has begun to suffer damage."
The purple-clad woman said fearfully, "A sixth-grade spiritual tool flying boat, too massive and valuable, but its structural strength is far less than a sixth-grade spiritual tool flying sword or a sixth-grade spiritual tool battle armor. It will be broken sooner or later under the repeated bombardment of a high-level Gold Core cultivator."
In her heart, she already regarded Wu Yuan as a high-level Gold Core cultivator.
In the moment of hesitation of the silver-robed eccentric.
"Puff~" "Puff~" "Puff~" The giant palms formed by the combination of the domain and true yuan had struck more than ten times like lightning, finally causing the battleship to deform, revealing a slight gap.
This so-called slight gap was relative to the battleship.
In fact, it was already wide enough.
"Swoosh!" A flying sword, like a venomous snake, rushed into the interior through this gap. Just two seconds later.
The originally struggling battleship suddenly stopped.
"Clang~" The cabin door opened, and two bodies with pierced heads were carried out by an invisible force.
...
In just a few breaths.
A first-layer Gold Core, a ninth-layer Qi Refining, and two ninth-layer Qi Sea cultivators, all equipped with powerful Source Crystal weapons.
Swept away by Wu Yuan.
"Go and empty everything that can move inside the battleship." Wu Yuan ordered, and at the same time, with a thought, he quickly collected the storage treasures, flying swords, battle armors, and more from several cultivators.
"Alright~"
King Qionghai grinned and said, "Master, there are many treasures on the battleship, and there are several hundred catties of source crystals."
"Hmm, you can take them for now," Wu Yuan casually said as he quickly inspected the treasures of the four individuals.
Magic treasures? Source crystals? Wu Yuan didn't really care.
Receiving a million catties of source crystals from the realm master, Wu Yuan didn't place much value on ordinary treasures.
Among these four looters, the strongest was only at the first layer of Gold Core, and their strength was quite ordinary. They hadn't even comprehended the domain, much weaker than Jinquan from years ago.
How much treasure could they have?
"Finally found it." Wu Yuan's eyes suddenly brightened. A storage ring flew out, revealing more than ten immortal scrolls.
"Dao techniques? Common knowledge?"
"Knowledge is the most important. After reading them, I can learn more about this vast land," Wu Yuan muttered to himself.
He continued to explore, suddenly flipping his palm.
In his palm appeared an extremely crystal-clear and strange crystal, with a silver light on its surface.
On the back, there was a faintly engraved crescent moon.
"Crimson Moon Divine Void Jade. With this, I can enter the Crimson Moon Immortal Isle." Wu Yuan smiled faintly.
This was what he most wanted to obtain.
"Qionghai, let's go." Wu Yuan instructed.
"Master, what about this flying boat?" King Qionghai was puzzled.
"The boat is already damaged," Wu Yuan said indifferently. "Moreover, we don't have such large storage treasures to accommodate it, making it inconvenient to carry."
"Understood." King Qionghai nodded.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
One person and one beast quickly entered their purple flying boat. Soon after, the boat swiftly headed towards the direction of 'Fengchuan City.'
"Boom~" The massive black flying battleship crashed.
Not long after.
This desolate mountain battlefield was discovered by a mortal warrior, and the news spread quickly, attracting numerous mortal warriors and even some Qi Sea realm cultivators to rush over, fighting endlessly for the flying boat, its fragments, and some remaining treasures.
This was the norm.
Treasures that top cultivators looked down upon were enough to provoke desperate struggles among lower-level cultivators.
...
The flying boat soared through the sky, and after this battle, Wu Yuan became more cautious.
It wasn't until they were tens of thousands of miles away, with no incidents along the way.
"Finally can relax. Crimson Moon Divine Void Jade?" Wu Yuan played with the crystal in his hand.
There was only one piece, found in the storage treasure of that Gold Core cultivator.
"Let's try." Wu Yuan sent a wisp of thought into the crystal.
Soon, Wu Yuan felt that his consciousness had arrived in a mysterious place.
Endless and distant, yet seemingly omnipresent.
Chapter 196: The Second World of Cultivators (Seeking Monthly Votes)
In reality, Wu Yuan had been quite impatient since obtaining the Crimson Moon Divine Void Jade.
He wanted to explore it.
However, having just experienced a life-and-death battle, Wu Yuan was also somewhat worried. So, he quickly fled with King Qionghai.
Although, normally, looting teams like this were mostly independent cultivators, and from their belongings, Wu Yuan hadn't found any proof of belonging to a significant power.
But, better safe than sorry.
Crimson Moon Immortal Isle was different from Midland, which was quite small.
How big was Immortal Isle? According to the immortal messages, it could form a complete plane with a diameter of at least tens of billions of miles.
"A continent with a diameter of tens of billions of miles may not seem large compared to the vast starry sky of my previous life. But in reality, with such a vast continent, the thickness of the land might be millions of miles. In terms of total material quantity, it may even surpass a river system from my previous life, perhaps even more," Wu Yuan thought to himself. "The solar system, with a maximum diameter of more than one light-year, and yet the sun occupies more than ninety-nine percent of the material. How much is the diameter of the sun? Just a bit over two million miles! The two are not even on the same order of magnitude."
How many powerhouses would be born in such a vast world? It was hard to count.
Crimson Moon Immortal Isle was just the tip of the iceberg in the 'Qingling Great Realm,' one of the many temporal and spatial planes.
Even the realm master hadn't heard of the name of this immortal isle.
"According to the information left by this looting team," Wu Yuan had just read some jade slips and books, making an inference. "Around Fengchuan City, it's not a prosperous area on the Immortal Isle. Perhaps the strongest there is only in the Purple Mansion Realm, which is quite normal."
Fengchuan City, ruling over a million miles of land, was home to more than a hundred billion human lives.
In the minds of countless mortals in this land, Fengchuan City was already a fairy city on Earth.
So, if you sought only enjoyment and leisure in the Purple Mansion Realm, it was quite easy in the great realm of the Immortal Isle.
In this vast Immortal Isle, the Purple Mansion Realm was already considered a powerhouse, worshipped by countless mortals as if they were immortals or demons.
But in the vast great realm, the Purple Mansion Realm was nothing special.
"With my current strength, encountering a formidable Golden Core cultivator will be troublesome. So, I need to keep a low profile," Wu Yuan was very clear about his own capabilities.
On the Immortal Isle, his current strength was sufficient for self-preservation.
But he couldn't be arrogant.
Any casually emerging powerhouse could crush him.
"In such a vast world, cultivators also have communication needs," Wu Yuan thought to himself.
Similar to the Blue Star in his previous life, from the earliest domestication of horses to railways and airplanes, and later to interstellar spaceships...
In essence, all were to solve the rapid exchange and transmission of information and material.
Cultivators were the same.
"Teleportation arrays can allow cultivators to quickly reach various areas, facilitating the rapid transmission of a large number of treasures," Wu Yuan thought to himself. "This kind of spatial application is similar to the 'stargates' and 'wormholes' that were still in the exploration stage in my previous life."
"And this Divine Void Realm is essentially a more advanced version of the meta-universe," Wu Yuan's gaze fell on the crystal in his hand.
Crimson Moon Immortal Isle, as a highly advanced Divine Void Realm, allowed the entire Crimson Moon Immortal Isle to gather countless cultivators in one place. Even if they were separated by billions of miles, they could quickly communicate.
And now.
Wu Yuan's thought had already entered it.
...
"Hmm~" Silently, Wu Yuan, dressed in white, appeared out of thin air in a personal palace.
Similar to the immortal palaces in Midland.
"Respected seeker of enlightenment, hello," a gentle voice suddenly sounded. Countless points of light gathered, and a beautiful girl, about eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in white, appeared on one side of the palace.
"This?" Wu Yuan was slightly stunned.
"The perception of the Immortal Realm indicates that this is your first time entering. I am your Immortal Realm guide," the white-robed maiden smiled. "You may call me 'Xiaoyue.'"
Xiaoyue? Wu Yuan muttered to himself.
"According to the rules of the Immortal Realm, for your first entry, you need to confirm details like your body model and name," the white-robed maiden said. "A reminder, since we haven't sensed your true identity, please ensure that the information you provide tends towards reality. Otherwise, it may easily affect your subsequent life in the Immortal Realm."
Wu Yuan nodded slightly, already well aware of this information.
In the great realm, the large Divine Void Realms covering one side of the Immortal Isle were closely related to the real world and typically used real identities.
Similar to the real-name system in the previous meta-universe.
However, these advanced Divine Void Realms were much more sophisticated. There was no way to create "alternate characters" because they authenticated 'Divine Sense fluctuations.'
And the Divine Sense fluctuations of each cultivator were unique, even if they changed bodies through possession, the spiritual soul remained unchanged.
"Initially, the Immortal Palaces in Midland were quite rudimentary, so the realm master was able to modify the Divine Void Jade," Wu Yuan mused. "But these advanced Divine Void Realms covering the entire Immortal Isle?"
As far as Wu Yuan knew, even celestial witches found it challenging to establish different identities.
Quickly, Wu Yuan created an identity model, identical to reality but with slight modifications to hairstyle and facial features.
"A reminder for seekers of enlightenment, spending ten thousand Source Crystals can apply for minor adjustments to your appearance," Xiaoyue 'considerately' reminded.
Wu Yuan's mouth twitched.
Ten thousand Source Crystals?
Truly steep!
"Name," Xiaoyue asked.
"Lixia," Wu Yuan uttered these two words. It was a new name he had thought of in advance, carrying many meanings.
Xia was the beginning of the civilization on Blue Star in his previous life.
In the Xia Mountain world, the same character was included!
Leaving Blue Star, departing from Xia Mountain, and embarking on an unknown and ethereal journey seeking enlightenment.
"Moreover, when I crossed to Midland, I was leaving the city."
Wu Yuan's eyes held a trace of reminiscence. "Back then, I began my martial arts journey from Licheng. Now, starting my cultivation in the great realm with the name Lixia."
"This time."
"Realm master probably won't criticize me again for a lousy name," Wu Yuan suddenly thought of this.
"Congratulations, Lixia!"
"Please open your 'Crimson Moon Immortal Realm' journey," Xiaoyue smiled. "Please read through your 'Newcomer Guide,' 'Realm Rules,' 'Realm Introduction,' and eight other virtual Immortal Scrolls."
"In addition, let me remind you."
"As a first-time entrant, you can enjoy the 'Ninth-Rank Privilege' for free, limited to one year."
"The Ninth-Rank Privilege is the lowest-level privilege, and various Immortal Realm functions will be restricted. If you want to increase your privileges, you can go to the 'Immortal Realm Hall' in various fifth-rank cities in the Immortal Isle for Source Crystal exchange and then upgrade your privileges," Xiaoyue said. "Also... finally, I wish you a pleasant cultivation and life in the Crimson Moon Immortal Realm, achieve success in your cosmic robbery, and ascend to immortality."
Splash~
The beautiful Xiaoyue dissipated into light and shadow.
In front of Wu Yuan appeared eight illusory Immortal Scrolls, crystal clear and dreamlike.
Wu Yuan began reading them one by one.
Originally, from the realm master's information and these specialized introductions, Wu Yuan had a deep understanding of the Divine Void Realm. Combined with his powerful spiritual soul, within a quarter of an hour, Wu Yuan completely understood the operation rules of the entire 'Crimson Moon Immortal Realm.'
It was infinitely richer than the Immortal Palaces in Midland.
"Virtual Realm Experience? Forming one hundred percent real dangers in the Immortal Realm, allowing cultivators to venture in and temper themselves."
"There are completely real mortal cities, blocking cultivators' six senses and even memories. You can enter to experience mortal life, and memories will only be restored upon leaving."
"Alchemy and artifact forging simulation. In reality, failing once would consume a large amount of materials, but in the Divine Void Realm, you can try repeatedly. After succeeding dozens of times in a row, you can then attempt it in reality?"
"Special perception breakthrough? You can perceive the entire process of higher-level practitioners' cultivation and breakthrough, helping with your own breakthroughs?" Wu Yuan was amazed.
"A specialized hiring ground, where you can recruit and employ countless cultivators across the entire Immortal Isle for adventures."
"A specialized information exchange area, collecting information from the entire Immortal Isle."
"A 'Seven-Star Heavenly Proud Tower,' where countless cultivators on the Immortal Isle can engage in duels, and only the top-tier geniuses can break through."
"A 'Starfall Blood Battle Tower,' a bloody battle where only the strongest can survive until the end."
"And also artifact purchases..."
So complete, so rich.
Wu Yuan sighed, this was the 'Immortal Dao World' he had imagined.
The Immortal Dao was not barbaric, and life evolution did not mean abandoning technology.
"Immortal Dao is the application of the most fundamental principles of heaven and earth," Wu Yuan had a realization. "Thus, creating the most beautiful and free life."
Divine Void Realm.
The second world of cultivators!
"According to the realm master, realms like these Divine Void Realms in the Immortal Isle are not considered the highest level," Wu Yuan mumbled, "There are even more miraculous ones."
However.
For Wu Yuan, the Crimson Moon Immortal Realm was enough to broaden his horizons, filled with illusions of this second world of cultivators.
"Advanced Divine Void Realms have all-encompassing functions," Wu Yuan suddenly smiled again. "But, the pay-to-win features are equally complete!"
The privileges are divided into ten ranks.
The tenth rank can only wander internally, representing no payment.
The ninth rank allows the use of various functions, and the higher the rank, the more comprehensive the functions, such as the simulation of alchemy and artifact forging, which belong to high-ranking privileges.
"Ninth-rank privilege, requires ten Source Crystals per century?" Wu Yuan mumbled, "Eighth-rank privilege, requires fifty Source Crystals per century?"
"Seventh-rank privilege, requires two hundred and fifty Source Crystals."
Extremely expensive!
Wu Yuan finally understood why this marauding team only had one Divine Void Jade.
Such a high cost is simply unaffordable for impoverished Qi Refiners.
Or rather, for many weak Qi Refiners, there is no need to enter.
"However, it can allow the entire Immortal Isle to simultaneously enter, and cultivators can communicate without any difference even across many billions of miles." Wu Yuan mumbled, "This Crimson Moon Immortal Realm probably comes with a considerable cost."
"It's impossible to do it for free," Wu Yuan mumbled.
Just like Midland would build a rudimentary Midland Immortal Palace separately.
As far as Wu Yuan knew, the vast majority of forces would establish small Divine Void Realms internally.
Fewer functions, but the cost is also smaller, and most importantly, privacy!
"In this Crimson Moon Immortal Realm, behind it should be that Crimson Moon Immortal, and everyone's every move is under his control," Wu Yuan pondered, "Some powerful cultivators might not be willing."
However, Wu Yuan didn't mind.
"I'm just a Nascent Soul Ninth Layer small fry," Wu Yuan smiled slightly, "I'm afraid that standing in front of Crimson Moon Immortal, I won't even attract his interest."
Being an insignificant small fry is good!
No one pays attention.
"Ninth-rank privilege has limited functions, most of which I can't use, but I can still go to the library on the first floor," Wu Yuan mumbled.
The free period is only one year, can't waste it.
Wu Yuan waved his hand and stored these virtual Immortal Scrolls.
