Comparison between the two.
Wu Yuan already has a 90% certainty that the small sapling in front of him is the 'Realm Tree.'
As time passed,
Wu Yuan's two main incarnations simultaneously searched for information about the 'Realm Tree' in the Dragon Star Immortal Realm and the Blood Refining Immortal Realm.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't check.
But once he checked and combined the information from Little Black, Wu Yuan truly realized the preciousness of the Realm Tree, which originates from the 'World-Constructing Tree.'
But in the endless river of time and space,
Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even powerful beings like Immortals and Star Masters, who travel through numerous worlds and have long lifespans, how many of them can see the World-Constructing Tree?
"The World-Constructing Tree is the ancestor of wood spirits, and its status is as high as the Tengshe ancestor following the earth witch's ancestor." Wu Yuan muttered.
The 'Realm Tree' containing a trace of the World-Constructing Tree's essence was already considered a treasure.
Throughout the entire Hengyang Immortal Realm, it would probably be difficult to find.
In the end,
Wu Yuan, being only in the Spiritual Body Realm, not to mention lacking other treasures, even if there were some powerful and terrifying treasures, as the foundation of the mountains and rivers, it would depend on whether the Divine Palace could bear it.
"A young Realm Tree?"
"Indeed, it is a legendary-level opportunity." Wu Yuan felt extremely joyful. "This Realm Tree is the best 'foundation of mountains and rivers' for me."
"And in the long years to come, it will be greatly beneficial to me."
"In the future, the hope of my Divine Palace's foundation evolving from the second grade to the first grade will be significantly increased."
Crossing from the Spiritual Body Realm to the Mountains and Rivers Realm is a major advancement.
For Mountains and Rivers Realm cultivators, the most crucial point is the transformation of the Divine Palace into 'mountains and rivers,' engraving the secrets of mountains and rivers geography and integrating them into the foundation of mountains and rivers.
This is a qualitative change.
For many with originally weak foundations, if they can find treasures that suit them or other opportunities, it could lead to an enhancement and transformation when crossing into the Mountains and Rivers Realm.
It's worth noting that Purple Mansion cultivators need at least a six-grade foundation to cross into the Refinement Void Realm.
So,
Moving from the Spiritual Body Realm to the Mountains and Rivers Realm is particularly crucial.
"Lower three grades of foundation enhancement are easy, middle three grades are more difficult." Wu Yuan muttered. "As for the upper three grades?"
Wanting a transformation is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
But using the Realm Tree as the foundation of mountains and rivers, even if he can't transform it into a first-grade shamanic foundation, it is the best foundation Wu Yuan can establish, preparing for the future.
"Nurture it well."
"In the future, with the assistance of the Realm Tree, my mountains and rivers will be more stable and powerful." Wu Yuan was quite eager. "Once I cast 'Mountain and River Illumination' and form the mountain and river domain, it probably won't be much weaker than the domain of a Purple Mansion cultivator."
For body-refining cultivators, the domain is a weak point, and only the mountain and river domain can make up for it.
"In the next few years, nurture this Realm Tree well, gradually adapting it to my Divine Palace." Wu Yuan's gaze fell again on the pale silver triangular crystal.
On the surface of the crystal, there are countless intricate patterns, as if it were some kind of secret pattern, but it also contains a faint fluctuation of the Dao.
Wu Yuan carefully sensed it.
Mysterious! Unreachable! With Wu Yuan's powerful divine soul, he couldn't probe the internal mysteries through the surface patterns.
Can it be refined? Similarly impossible.
Unable to recognize the master at all.
Infusing source power? This triangular crystal is incredibly beautiful, but it absorbs no source power at all. It just floats quietly in the lake.
After observing for a long time and trying various methods, Little Black honestly said, "Boss, I can't figure it out."
Wu Yuan, once again from the Daoist Repository in the Dragon Star Immortal Realm and the Blood Refining Immortal Realm, searched through a large amount of information, but still gained nothing.
"Treasure."
"If I can't see it completely, it must be an ultimate treasure. In terms of preciousness, it probably won't be much weaker than the Realm Tree." Wu Yuan affirmed in his mind.
Unfortunately, unable to see through it.
Can only leave it for now.
...
As time passed day by day,
The impact of the Blood Refining Battle gradually dissipated, and the massive Blood Refining Demon Palace began preparations for the next Blood Refining Battle.
This is the greatest significance of the existence of the Blood Refining Demon Palace.
Yin He Star Master did not come to find Wu Yuan again, and there was no news from the headquarters of the Demon Palace, so Wu Yuan was happy to have some leisure.
His two main incarnations were completely immersed in cultivation.
The Golden Elixir Blood Refining Battle lasted less than two years, concluding entirely, while the Blood Refining Battle in the Purple Mansion was still ongoing.
Half a month after Wu Yuan's return,
The original Blood World.
The towering number one teleportation array, today, the entire area around the teleportation array has been completely cleared, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.
Hundreds of figures are waiting quietly here.
Each figure exudes an extremely powerful aura, especially the eight leading figures, which vaguely possess an inexplicable Dao charm.
Standing at the forefront of the team is none other than Yin He Star Master.
He is waiting with closed eyes.
"The Star Master is here. In our entire branch, there are only twelve immortals. Eight have come. Who are we welcoming?"
"I don't know."
"Wu Tian, what about you? Do you know? You and the Star Master are the most familiar among us."
"I don't know." The hundreds of figures standing in line, all of them are Upper Immortals, communicate with each other through voice transmission.
They are all extremely shocked.
Today, the entire Crimson Moon Demon Palace has summoned most of the Celestial Immortals and Upper Immortals, gathering them in the small original Blood World.
Even Yin He Star Master personally came to lead the team.
Suddenly.
"Hum~" A distant number one teleportation array burst into a sky-reaching light, making all the Upper Immortals tense.
Yin He Star Master, who had been closing his eyes, also raised his eyebrows, and the eight Celestial Immortals standing on both sides also felt a slight tension.
They all knew, it's here!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The light flashed, and two figures appeared outside the teleportation array. One of them was wearing a red robe, exuding an endless aura of slaughter.
The other robust figure is wearing black battle armor, stepping on the void, and his powerful aura spreads throughout the heavens and earth.
The two standing there caused a brief pause among the many Upper Immortals, and even the eight Celestial Immortals felt a faint palpitation.
Such a terrifying aura.
At this moment, the entire original Blood World seems to be trembling, as if it is about to collapse directly.
"Meet Lord Peihe and Lady Houqu." Yin He Star Master respectfully bowed.
"Meet Lord Peihe and Lady Houqu." Many other Celestial Immortals and Upper Immortals also bowed respectfully, each with a turbulent wave in their hearts.
Those hundreds of Upper Immortals finally understood who had come.
Lord Peihe!
Unlike the thirteen Lords in the White Cang Immortal Country, the entire Blood Refining Demon Palace White Cang branch has only two Lords!
One of them is 'Lord Peihe.'
He also has another identity, the 'leader' of the entire White Cang branch, overseeing thousands of second-level branches.
"It's actually a Lord!"
"Great Lords, in the thousands of Immortal Isles, it's rare to have a Lord born in a hundred million years." These Upper Immortals were extremely excited.
Normally, as branch Upper Immortals, they almost never have the opportunity to see a Lord.
In the excitement, hundreds of Upper Immortals and even the eight Celestial Immortals felt a hint of doubt. Why did the two great Lords suddenly come to the original Blood World?
"Houqu, my brother, do you want me to summon him?" Lord Peihe smiled, appearing extremely polite.
This scene shocked Yin He Star Master and the eight Celestial Immortals.
Lord Peihe, known for his killing, is also a terrifying figure among the many Lords in the entire realm, with a great reputation!
However, at this moment, he is so polite.
This Lord Houqu is probably extremely powerful.
"No need, I will go and greet him personally." Lord Houqu smiled. He came here on orders, so naturally, he knew how to handle things.
"He's not far away."
Whoosh!
Lord Houqu flew directly towards the 'First District,' and Lord Peihe followed. Many immortals of the Crimson Moon branch hurriedly followed.
At this moment, many immortals began to speculate, but some found it hard to believe.
A small Spirit Body Realm, and two Lords came personally?
Quickly.
They arrived above the 'Number One Mansion' in the First District, and everyone looked down.
"Young friend Wu Yuan, come out." Lord Houqu directly spoke, his voice majestic but not overbearing, echoing everywhere in the mansion.
This scene.
Not only shocked many Upper Immortals and Celestial Immortals, but even Yin He Star Master, who had anticipated it, couldn't help but be amazed.
Young friend?
A great Lord like them calls Wu Yuan a young friend.
Whoosh!
A stream of light quickly rushed out of the quiet room, and it was Wu Yuan. He looked at the figures in the void with a bewildered expression.
A lump in his heart.
Heaven!
What's going on that would warrant so many Upper Immortals and Celestial Immortals to come at the same time? Even Yin He Star Master is only following?
Wu Yuan's gaze swept over the two leaders, feeling a palpitation.
"Wu Yuan, pay..." Wu Yuan was about to bow.
"Haha." Lord Houqu took the initiative to laugh and said, "Young friend Wu Yuan, I am the 'Lord Houqu' of the Cangfeng Witch Realm."
"Today, I am specially ordered by the Witch Lord to welcome you to the Cangfeng Witch Realm."
A moment of silence.
All Upper Immortals and Celestial Immortals were stunned. They naturally knew about the Cangfeng Witch Realm, a colossal entity comparable to the Hengyang Immortal Realm.
Witch Lord?
"The Cangfeng Witch Realm? Where is that?" Wu Yuan was even more bewildered. "Ordered by the Witch Lord? Who is the Witch Lord?"

The next volume will truly delve into the Witch lineage!
The war between the Witch and Immortal Court, the origin of the Black Tower, and the foreshadowing of the Blood Refining Space converge. The stage for the entire story is officially set, presenting the framework of the Qingling Great Realm and the endless timeline of the long river.
In my conception,
Starting from the next volume, the two major incarnations will truly embark on different paths, stepping into their own paths as unrivaled geniuses within different top forces.
Starting tomorrow, the seventh volume begins: First-class Immortal Foundation!
(This chapter is complete)
Chapter 306: Seizing the World with One Hand
The vast Qingling Great Realm is endless, with numerous major forces constantly competing. However, the territory of the Hengyang Immortal Country is generally peaceful.
Wu Yuan, having cultivated for only a few decades, is just a little guy at the Golden Core and Spirit Body level. Why would he care about other major forces in the great realm?
After all, except for the journey to the Blood Refining Space for the Blood Refining War, he had never left the Crimson Moon Immortal Island.
Wu Yuan only knows that there is a Witch lineage in the Qingling Great Realm, but as for specific forces, he hasn't delved much into it.
Cangfeng Witch Realm? Wu Yuan has never heard of it.
As for the Witch Lord? He has no idea who that is.
However, when Wu Yuan looked at the burly man in the black battle armor, he was still surprised: "Lord Houqu?"
Lord! He naturally knows what kind of status that is.
Previously, when the avatar of the Refining Qi stirred up the Immortal Country, there was a 'Lord Suqing' who wanted to take him as a disciple, but was rejected by Senior Nan Yin.
According to Senior Nan Yin,
In the vastness of the White Cang Immortal Country for billions of years, only thirteen lords have been born, indicating their high status.
Wu Yuan felt that the lords in the Immortal Country are probably important figures and high-ranking officials in the entire Hengyang Immortal Realm.
"Houqu Lord, who commands the entire White Cang Demon Palace, is definitely one of the high-ranking members of the Blood Refining Demon Palace. If he is so polite, this Lord Houqu is definitely extraordinary." Numerous thoughts flashed through Wu Yuan's mind.
However.
A lord, such a super existence, actually came to pick him up?
Oh my God!
With a little speculation, Wu Yuan understood that this so-called 'Witch Lord' is definitely an incredible and heaven-defying existence.
"Before, did Upper Immortal Wutian not say that he wanted to take me to the headquarters of the Demon Palace?" Wu Yuan's mind was a bit confused for a while. "Why does a Lord suddenly want to take me to the Cangfeng Witch Realm? How does the Witch Lord know about me?"
Although a bit puzzled, Wu Yuan was not overly worried.
Because, if it were for something bad, these two lords would not have this kind of attitude.
Ninety-nine percent probability, whether it's a good thing or a great thing!
"Wu Yuan, don't worry."
Beside him, Lord Houqu seemed to sense Wu Yuan's confusion and smiled, "The Cangfeng Witch Realm is a more powerful force than my Blood Refining Demon Palace. Looking at the entire realm, it is one of the top forces."
"You are a Witch cultivator."
"With outstanding talent, going to the Cangfeng Witch Realm will be most beneficial to your cultivation." Lord Houqu smiled, "In the future, although you will join the Cangfeng Witch Realm, your identity as a member of my Blood Refining Demon Palace will not change."
Boom!
Wu Yuan's mind was completely confused. He figured it out.
This is the Blood Refining Demon Palace wanting to send him to the Cangfeng Witch Realm? Yes, the Witch Realm is probably on par with the Immortal Realm.
However, would the Blood Refining Demon Palace be so kind?
Having just obtained two legendary opportunities and revealing unparalleled talent, would the Blood Refining Demon Palace be willing to let go?
"What?"
"Wu Yuan is leaving my Blood Refining Demon Palace? Going to the Cangfeng Witch Realm?"
"What's going on?"
"This? How can this be? If Wu Yuan goes to the Demon Palace headquarters, that's understandable, but why join the Cangfeng Witch Realm?" The eight heavenly immortals and hundreds of upper immortals who followed seemed to explode, wearing expressions of disbelief.
They couldn't help but look at Lord Yinhe.
Especially Upper Immortal Wutian, who had hoped to see Wu Yuan rise all the way up. As a direct upper immortal, he could earn a lot of merits by following him.
In the blink of an eye, he's leaving?
For the other immortals of the Crimson Moon Demon Palace, it's the same. With Wu Yuan's unparalleled talent, there is a complete chance for rapid ascent, and they all stand to benefit.
However.
Lord Yinhe remained unchanged, waiting quietly behind the two lords, completely ignoring the gazes of many Crimson Moon Demon Palace immortals, as if willingly accepting.
Silence fell.
"Reporting to the two lords." Wu Yuan's mind quickly calmed down and said, "Although the disciple is a Witch cultivator, he is still a disciple of the Blood Refining Demon Palace. Is it appropriate to go to the Cangfeng Witch Realm?"
Wu Yuan has many dissatisfactions with the rules of the Blood Refining Demon Palace.
But at least.
Up to now, he is about to gain attention and be specially cultivated by the Blood Refining Demon Palace. As for the Cangfeng Witch Realm?
Everything is unknown.
"Haha, Brother Peihe."
But Lord Houqu laughed and looked at Lord Yinhe, "It seems that Wu Yuan still has some concerns. Can I have a private conversation with Wu Yuan?"
"Brother Houqu is joking." Lord Yinhe said, "Wu Yuan is about to become a member of the Witch Realm, you are free to do as you wish."
"Now he is still a disciple of your Demon Palace, and I will inquire about your opinion." Lord Houqu smiled.
Then.
Lord Houqu flew straight to Wu Yuan, and with a wave of his hand, an invisible force enveloped an area of a hundred meters in diameter.
Making it difficult for outsiders to eavesdrop.
The powerhouses from the Blood Refining Demon Palace could only wait patiently.
"Lord." Wu Yuan wanted to bow respectfully but felt an invisible force supporting him.
Wu Yuan couldn't help but be surprised.
"I call you a junior, so there's no need to bow." Lord Houqu smiled, "You don't have to call me Lord or senior. Just call me Brother Houqu."
Wu Yuan was shocked.
Brother Houqu?
A super existence at the level of a lord, commanding countless immortal islands, and having numerous heavenly immortals under him, actually let him address him like this?
The implications need not be mentioned.
Wu Yuan is well aware that even with dazzling talent like himself, in the eyes of most heavenly immortals and lords, the probability of becoming a lord in the future is extremely low.
"I dare not, senior." Wu Yuan said respectfully, "I hope senior will make it clear."
"Hey, those who come out of the TaYuan Divine Court are a bit rigid." Lord Houqu showed a trace of helplessness on his face, shook his head, and smiled, "Wu Yuan, have you received the Heaven-Born Witch Mark?"
Wu Yuan was suddenly surprised.
Heaven-Born Witch Mark? How did Lord Houqu see that?
It should be noted that achieving the Second-Rank Witch Foundation does not necessarily require the Heaven-Born Witch Mark.
"Don't worry, the Heaven-Born Witch Mark is usually granted by the great ancestor witch across endless time and space. With the great ancestor witch's transformation into countless forms and perceiving the various realms with a single thought, it is natural for him to be aware." Lord Houqu smiled, "So, since then, the Witch Court has known of your existence."
Wu Yuan suddenly realized, feeling amazed in his heart.
It is indeed the great ancestor witch who can wield the authority of the heavens and the earth.
"Witch Court?" Wu Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"The Witch Court is a place opened up by the great ancestor witch and is one of the oldest major forces with the human race as its core in countless large realms in the world." Lord Houqu smiled, "The Witch Court, looking at the endless river of time and space, is one of the top major forces."
"I, Cangfeng Witch Realm, also known as the Cangfeng Tribe, is the direct force of the Witch Court in the Qingling Great Realm." Lord Houqu explained, "Just my Cangfeng Witch Realm alone is one of the seven major forces in the Qingling Great Realm, incredibly powerful."
"Seven major forces?" Wu Yuan silently noted.
The entire Qingling Great Realm, are there a total of seven major forces similar to the Cangfeng Witch Realm, the Hengyang Immortal Realm, and the Blood Refining Demon Palace?
"I know."
"You must have many thoughts and speculations in your heart." Lord Houqu's voice was rough and sounded quite unrestrained. "This time, you gained a great opportunity in the Blood Refining Spacetime. The Witch Lord knew about it. He made a deal with the Blood Refining Demon Palace and specially ordered me to come and welcome you back to the Cangfeng Tribe."
This was the explanation given by Lord Houqu, who was instructed by the Witch Lord. As for some things behind the Blood Refining Spacetime? There's no need to tell Wu Yuan.
However, Wu Yuan was surprised.
The Witch Lord actually knows everything about himself in the Blood Refining Spacetime?
"Lord Houqu." Wu Yuan couldn't help but say, "I don't know, what kind of existence is the Witch Lord?"
"The Witch Lord is one of the leaders of my Cangfeng Witch Realm. In terms of status, he is equivalent to the leader of the entire Hengyang Immortal Realm, and the Lord of the Blood Refining Demon Palace." Lord Houqu smiled and said, "Looking at the entire Qingling Great Realm, he is absolutely one of the most pinnacle existences."
Wu Yuan held his breath.
Sure enough!
Such a formidable existence, equivalent to the leader of the entire Hengyang Immortal Realm? It should be noted that the Hengyang Immortal Realm governs more than a thousand immortal countries.
Each immortal country has thousands of immortal islands.
With a rough calculation, the entire Hengyang Immortal Realm probably rules over five to six million immortal islands. After all, the second-level branch of the Blood Refining Demon Palace alone exceeds four million.
If it can compete with the Hengyang Immortal Realm.
The Cangfeng Witch Realm probably won't be weak, and the number of powerhouses under its command might surpass the level of tens of millions.
The high status of the Witch Lord is simply unimaginable.
Such an extraordinary existence, specifically sending a Lord to welcome himself?
"Whew!" Wu Yuan took a deep breath.
"I think you already have some thoughts." Lord Houqu smiled and said, "The Witch Lord sent me because he wants to take you as his disciple."
He added, "A named disciple."
Wu Yuan nodded lightly, his heart pounding. A named disciple?
Even if it's just a named disciple of the Witch Lord, the status is much higher than that of a direct disciple of a Lord.
Just looking at Lord Houqu's attitude is enough to infer something.
Witch Lord!
He, actually, can join the sect of such an extraordinary existence?
It really is a great opportunity.
Compared to the two legendary treasures obtained from the Blood Refining Demon Palace, it seems that they cannot be compared to the identity of a 'Witch Lord disciple.'
"The legendary opportunities only made it relatively smooth for me to become a 'Lord' and have the hope of becoming a Lord. Wu Yuan secretly thought: "But the Witch Lord taking disciples, only Lords?"
No!
At least, in the eyes of the Witch Lord, at least, he hopes that he can cultivate to the level of a Lord.
Otherwise, the effect would be too small.
"Wu Yuan, at the moment, you are a named disciple because your strength is still weak." Lord Houqu smiled and said, "But when you cross the nine heavenly tribulations in the future and become a Lord of one side, you will naturally become a direct disciple."
Wu Yuan nodded gently.
He secretly speculated that in the eyes of extraordinary beings like the Witch Lord, crossing the heavenly tribulations would probably be considered true growth.
"Lord Houqu." Wu Yuan couldn't help but say, "You just said crossing nine heavenly tribulations? Isn't it seven?"
"Ordinary upper witches usually condense the Heavenly Witch's body after crossing the seven tribulations." Lord Houqu shook his head and said, "Like many direct disciples under the Witch Lord, each of them has crossed nine heavenly tribulations and directly become Lords."
"Among the hundreds of direct disciples under the Witch Lord, except for those who fell midway, most of them eventually became Lords." Lord Houqu said, "Several of them even reached the level of the Witch Lord in terms of strength and were famous."
Wu Yuan listened in shock.
Amazing! It's worthy of being taught by the Witch Lord. They are truly extraordinary, and most of them can become Lords?
Thinking about it, it makes sense.
In the Crimson Moon Immortal Island, the White Cang Immortal Country, during the stage of creating worlds and universes, it is rare to cross nine heavenly tribulations, and they are considered the most top-notch geniuses.
But for the Witch Lord's disciples?
It's probably just routine.
"Opportunity! A tremendous opportunity." Wu Yuan became increasingly certain that this was an unprecedented opportunity for himself.
Although he seemed to be a named disciple, he was actually treated as a direct disciple.
"Wu Yuan."
Lord Houqu smiled and said, "When I came, the Witch Lord also said that choosing a master and a disciple is a mutual choice. If you are unwilling to go to the Cangfeng Witch Realm, you don't have to force yourself. Are you willing?"
"Naturally, I am willing." Wu Yuan said without hesitation.
Such a great opportunity, not only cultivators but even high-ranking beings like Immortal Lords and Celestial Witches would probably yearn for it.
With a Witch Lord as a teacher, the probability of becoming a super powerhouse would increase tenfold or even a hundredfold.
"That's good." Lord Houqu smiled.
In fact, the Witch Lord didn't ask him whether Wu Yuan was willing or not.
According to the Witch Lord's intentions, Wu Yuan had to go whether he was willing or not.
However, Lord Houqu felt that if Wu Yuan was willing, it would be even better. After all, he didn't believe that a little guy at the Soul Body level, encountering such a great opportunity, would not strive to seize it.
"Alright."
"Since you are willing, we will prepare to return immediately. It will take two days to rush back to the Cangfeng Witch Realm from here." Lord Houqu said with a smile.
"Two days, that long?" Wu Yuan was astonished.
"Is this considered long?" Lord Houqu shook his head and smiled, "Wu Yuan, it seems that you haven't received a very good inheritance and your vision is a bit lacking. You don't have a complete concept of the entire realm."
"Let me tell you."
"If Immortals travel through the void, relying solely on slow flight, it would take billions of years to reach the Cangfeng Witch Realm." Lord Houqu laughed.
Wu Yuan was stunned.
Billions of years to get there?
This! This!
It's too exaggerated!
"Of course, Immortals usually don't rely solely on flying when they travel. It's too slow." Lord Houqu said with a smile, "But even with some special means, it's normal for Immortals to spend decades or even centuries on the road while wandering within the realm."
"As for outside the realm?"
"Well, Immortals have no qualifications to leave the realm at all." Lord Houqu shook his head and said, "Even beings like me have no reason to leave the realm unless there are special circumstances."
"Generally, they don't leave the realm."
"The entire river of time and space is so vast and boundless, the vastness is incredible. A single realm is just a drop in the entire river of time and space." Lord Houqu exclaimed.
Wu Yuan listened in shock.
He increasingly realized the vastness of the heavens and the earth and his own insignificance.
"Alright, Wu Yuan, you don't need to think too much about those things now; they are too distant for you." Lord Houqu smiled, "What you need to do now is to cultivate well and transcend the tribulation as soon as possible to become a Celestial Witch."
Wu Yuan nodded involuntarily.
Celestial Witch? It is the same level as Immortal Lords.
But Wu Yuan thought of one thing. If the realm is so vast, how did the Blood Refining Spacetime manage to move countless cultivators from various timelines into it in such a short time?
The means used were also unimaginable for Wu Yuan.
"We are about to leave." Lord Houqu asked, "Once we leave, it may be difficult to return for many years. Do you have anything else you want to do?"
"What else?"
Wu Yuan was slightly surprised and said, "Lord, I still have a mortal mother, a younger sister, and a large number of clan members. They all live in a small world..."
Wu Yuan quickly expressed his concerns.
As for the Qi Refining Avatar, he could cultivate in the Dragon Star Immortal Sect; there was no need to go to the Cangfeng Witch Realm. What he truly worried about was his family.
"A small world?" Lord Houqu nodded, "The Witch Lord has considered this. Rest assured, I will take care of it."
Wu Yuan sighed inwardly. Take care of it?
How will he take care of it?
When he leaves, he probably won't be able to return for many years. The so-called considerations of the Witch Lord are likely just arrangements for the Blood Refining Demon Palace to take care of things properly.
However, it cannot make up for the regret of leaving.
"Let's talk about this much for now," Lord Houqu said, "There are still some matters and things to pay attention to when you enter the Cangfeng Witch Realm. I will tell you on the way."
Wu Yuan nodded.
Exhale~
Lord Houqu waved his hand.
The invisible force disappeared, and he took Wu Yuan directly to Lord Peihe.
"Brother Peihe, Wu Yuan has agreed," Lord Houqu smiled, "I am waiting to report to the Witch Lord. We shouldn't delay; let's go to the Xia Mountain World."
"Alright!" Lord Peihe nodded, his gaze fell on Wu Yuan, and he squeezed out a smile, "Wu Yuan, when you go to the Witch Realm, cultivate well and don't forget my Blood Refining Demon Palace."
"I dare not forget the kindness of the Demon Palace," Wu Yuan respectfully said.
About to leave.
Surface work also needs to be done well.
"Brother Houqu, you are good at the Dao of Space; it's up to you." Lord Peihe smiled, "Also, take my disciples and grandchildren with you and let them broaden their horizons."
Lord Houqu nodded. He swept his gaze over Lord Yinhe, many Immortals, and Celestials, and said lightly, "Don't resist."
As soon as he spoke.
"Hum~" an invisible force had already enveloped the void, followed by invisible fluctuations.
Including everyone, including Wu Yuan, they all disappeared from the original Blood World at the same time.
... This is a vast and endless starry sky, with a huge and endless elliptical world suspended in the starry sky.
The entire world is enveloped by a thick world barrier, and a mighty airflow is flowing on the surface of the world barrier.
Extremely huge.
At a glance, the maximum diameter of the entire world is close to twenty million miles.
"Hum~" an invisible fluctuation.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Lord Houqu, Lord Peihe, Wu Yuan, Lord Yinhe, and many Immortals and Celestials all appeared in the void at the same time.
They all saw the huge world in the distance.
"Why are we here?"
"I don't know."
"But, the terrifying proficiency in spatial manipulation. In the blink of an eye, we've moved away from the Demon Palace." These Immortals and Celestials were puzzled and shocked.
Puzzled.
"Here?" Wu Yuan was surprised. He couldn't help but look at the huge world in the distance.
Is this the place?
For the first time.
From the perspective of an outsider, Wu Yuan scrutinized the Xia Mountain World, the cradle of endless creatures, becoming one of the origins of life.
Having studied ancient texts, Wu Yuan was well aware.
In the vast expanse of the starry sky, numerous stars were so vast and unimaginable that almost none of them could nurture life.
Similar to the "cosmic environment" observed on the Blue Star in his previous life.
Only those countless small worlds, also known as "world life," gave birth to the vast majority of creatures over the long ages.
"Wu Yuan, are your family and friends all in the Xia Mountain World?" Lord Houqu asked.
"Yeah," Wu Yuan nodded involuntarily.
He had just communicated with Fang Xia through the Blood Refining Immortal Realm today, so he knew the situation in the Xia Mountain World.
"That's simple then." Lord Houqu smiled. His bell-like eyes looked towards the massive world in the distance.
Suddenly, he stretched out his right hand.
His palm was wide, powerful, and as he extended it, the palm instantly began to expand. In the horrified eyes of Wu Yuan and many Celestials, it almost grew to millions of miles in the blink of an eye.
Mighty!
It covered the void.
A faint silver light enveloped the surface of the palm, making it radiant and immensely grand.
The giant palm swung, seeming slow but incredibly fast.
"Boom~" The vast starry sky seemed to tremble. This terrifying giant palm directly reached into a higher-dimensional void.
Cracks in space-time appeared in the intersecting stars at the fingertips.
This scene left Wu Yuan and the others dumbfounded.
Too terrifying!
Too incredible. At a glance, the giant palm had covered almost half of the starry sky, as if it were a miracle.
"Boom~"
The silver giant palm violently grasped the void, pulled it back, and the boundless starry sky seemed to shrink suddenly, like a dining table being rapidly contracted.
That world with a diameter of over twenty million miles was momentarily shaken.
Infinite power.
When the entire Xia Mountain World began to be pulled up by Lord Peihe, Wu Yuan, and the others, Lord Houqu's giant palm suddenly pressed down towards the vast void.
"Hum~"
Silent and invisible, the originally massive Xia Mountain World began to shrink dramatically at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Finally, when the maximum diameter of the entire world in their field of vision was reduced to only a few hundred thousand miles, Lord Houqu's continuously shrinking giant palm gently picked it up.
Completely disappeared in the void.
The Xia Mountain World vanished.
"What?" Wu Yuan was bewildered. He was somewhat puzzled. Did the Xia Mountain World just disappear? Was it destroyed?
Is this the care instructed by the Witch Lord?
The Celestials were equally shocked. With just one hand, almost the entire small world was enveloped in the blink of an eye.
What kind of supernatural power is this?
Toppling a world with one hand!
"Phew!"
"Haha, finally not rusty." Lord Houqu shook his head, looked down at Wu Yuan, and said, "Wu Yuan, how is it? I have put the entire Xia Mountain World into my world-time space. When we reach the Cangfeng World, I will take it out and place it on a world track."
"Your family and friends won't be affected in the slightest."
Wu Yuan marveled inwardly.
It was truly exaggerated. Was this the Witch Lord's instruction? Directly plucking the entire Xia Mountain World and moving it to the Cangfeng Witch Realm's territory?
Absolutely outrageous!
What Wu Yuan had considered the most was only the migration of living beings in the Central Earth, and he didn't dare to think about moving the entire Central Earth.
"Peihe, I'm in a hurry to report back to the Witch Lord. I won't stay any longer. I'll leave first." Lord Houqu looked at Lord Peihe.
"Haha, take care, Brother Houqu." Lord Peihe laughed, "When there's a chance in the future, we'll meet again."
Lord Houqu nodded.
"Wu Yuan, let's go." Lord Houqu waved his hand, and he and Wu Yuan disappeared at the same time in this starry sky. There were only faint space fluctuations, and only Lord Peihe could sense them.
Leaving behind the Blood Refining Magic Palace and the crowd of immortals, they looked at each other in amazement.
Today.
They also broadened their horizons and finally witnessed the incredible strength of a star lord.
"Wu Yuan?" Lord Peihe shook his head slightly and instructed, "Go back, from now on, don't spread news about Wu Yuan's matters recklessly."
"And absolutely no leaking of information about Lord Houqu."
"Yes." Many immortals respectfully replied.

(End of this chapter)
Chapter 307: Azure Peak Witch Realm (Extra Update for 16,000 Monthly Votes)
"Swoosh!"
Space tore apart, and with Lord Houqu, Wu Yuan followed, enveloped and protected by an invisible force, stepping into a spatial channel.
In the blink of an eye.
Visibly, the previously calm void around Wu Yuan distorted. It seemed to 'boil' and countless fragments clashed, creating a bizarre and colorful scene, like bubbles bursting.
A dazzling river of light flowed, intertwined with countless glass-like shards.
The multitude of tiny fragments made Wu Yuan's heart pound.
"Space is divided into many levels."
"Material Space Layer, Space Fragment Layer, Space Turbulence Layer, Space Void Layer, and so on."
"Usually, countless beings live in the most straightforward Material Space Layer, which is the most stable and suitable for reproduction and combat." Lord Houqu smiled, "But its binding force is also terrifying. Traveling at a speed of 360 million miles per breath is already the limit allowed by the rules of heaven and earth."
He seemed intentionally to explain these details to Wu Yuan.
"360 million miles per breath?" Wu Yuan muttered.
In reality, one breath is six seconds.
This speed is, in fact, the speed of light!
The speed of light is the limit allowed by the rules of heaven and earth in the 'Material Space Layer.'
"The flight speed of Immortals generally approaches or reaches the extreme speed of heaven and earth in the Material Space Layer." Lord Houqu said.
Wu Yuan nodded involuntarily.
Exactly.
For example, Earth Immortals can fly ninety thousand miles in one breath, and the flight speed of Celestials approaching or reaching the extreme speed of heaven and earth is not difficult.
"But do you know how vast the heavens and earth are?"
Lord Houqu sighed, "Not to mention the endless river of time and space, just in our Qingling Grand Boundary. If Celestials rely on normal flight in the Material Space Layer, it would take at least billions of years to cross."
Wu Yuan was stunned.
It's too exaggerated.
Billions of years? Celestials can only cross the entire Qingling Grand Boundary by flying?
In other words.
"The entire Qingling Grand Boundary, the maximum diameter of the spatial domain affected by the source, has reached billions of light-years?" Wu Yuan shivered.
This! This! It's too absurd.
Billions of light-years?
The spatial domain range of a Grand Boundary?
"Why, scared?"
Lord Houqu laughed, "In the Grand Boundary, more than 99.99% of the regions are extremely spacious. Those Immortal Isles and Immortal Nations are also incredibly distant from each other."
"Normally, Celestials, relying on flight, can cross the spatial domain affected by the source of one Immortal Isle in tens of thousands of years."
"Celestials, relying on flight, generally take tens of millions of years to cross the spatial domain range of one Immortal Nation." Lord Houqu said, "Wu Yuan, this is information about the entire Grand Boundary. Take a look."
Lord Houqu waved his hand gently.
Suddenly, a large amount of information directly flooded into Wu Yuan's mind.
Quickly.
With Wu Yuan's powerful spiritual perception, he digested this information. It covered the top forces, Immortal Nations, and some brief information about the entire Grand Boundary.
"This!" Wu Yuan widened his eyes.
He was indeed shocked.
In the past, he only knew that the Immortal Isles and Immortal Nations were vast, and the Qingling Grand Boundary was even more unimaginably vast.
However, he had no direct impression.
Now.
Through the information provided by Lord Houqu, Wu Yuan has basically figured it out.
For example, the Red Moon Immortal Isle's core is only the main continent of hundreds of billions of miles, where most of the beings of the Immortal Isle live.
However, the spatial range influenced by the Red Moon Immortal Isle's source is about thirty thousand light-years. In this vast spatial range, there are millions of small worlds and billions of stars.
Different Immortal Isles' sources scattered in space are extremely distant, ranging from tens of thousands to millions of light-years.
Because of this.
The combined source of the Immortal Nations that revolve around thousands of Immortal Isles has a maximum spatial diameter of an astonishing several tens of millions of light-years.
And each Immortal Nation can be separated by hundreds of millions of light-years, making the entire Grand Boundary's spatial domain range.
Exceeding a hundred billion light-years!
An incredibly frightening number.
"So, the so-called Immortal Realm and Witch Realm do not have a truly unified source of space." Wu Yuan sighed, "It refers to the spatial domains occupied by powerful forces."
Both Immortal Isles and Immortal Nations have their own source planes, which are part of a whole.
Immortal Nations include various Immortal Isles.
However, Immortal Realms like the Eternal Sun Immortal Realm consist of a spatial domain formed by 1,200 Immortal Nations, with a diameter of several billion light-years, without a unified source.
"So, the entire Grand Boundary has about five thousand five hundred Immortal Nations' domains." Wu Yuan muttered.
He finally gained an intuitive understanding of the entire Qingling Grand Boundary.
A vast and endless expanse of space.
"Only one Grand Boundary is so vast and magnificent, where countless beings have given birth to countless stories over countless years, and numerous powerhouses have emerged." Wu Yuan felt his scalp tingling. "The vast and endless river of time and space?"
The Grand Boundary is just a drop of water in the entire river of time and space?
Perhaps the incredible vastness exceeds Wu Yuan's imagination.
Wu Yuan thought of something.
"The Blue Star Civilization... Perhaps, it is located in some inconspicuous temporal and spatial region within the Qingling Grand Boundary." Wu Yuan sighed.
However, the entire Qingling Grand Boundary is too vast. In an area of billions of light-years, it's challenging to find an inconspicuous Blue Star Civilization.
After experiencing so much, Wu Yuan vaguely sensed that the Black Tower was probably heavily involved and likely the mastermind behind bringing him from the Blue Star to the Middle Earth.
"Lord Star." Wu Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Are the Immortal Isles and Immortal Nations so vast, and do the Celestials rely on flight in such awe-inspiring distances?"
Astonishing distances covered by flight?
"Haha, of course not." Lord Houqu smiled and said, "The Material Space Layer is too stable."
"So, one must enter a higher-dimensional space layer."
"In higher dimensions, everything converges, overlooking the lower-dimensional space."
"For example, what we have just entered is the Space Fragment Layer." Lord Houqu pointed to the surrounding scenery, "The scenes you see now are just appearances. The countless spatial fragments are enough to tear apart Nascent Soul stage cultivators."
Wu Yuan couldn't help but hold his breath.
Tearing apart Nascent Soul stage cultivators? That's Earth Immortals and Earth Witches.
"Ordinary Celestials or some very powerful Upper Celestials can enter the Space Fragment Layer." Lord Houqu said, "Advancing along the Space Fragment Layer seems to be moving at the speed of light. But once coordinated with the Material Space Layer, it is equivalent to reaching a speed that is ten thousand times the limit of heaven and earth."
"Ten thousand times the limit of heaven and earth?" Wu Yuan was shocked.
In the higher-dimensional 'Space Fragment Layer,' Celestials traveling one light-year, once reduced to the Material Space Layer, is equivalent to traveling ten thousand light-years in the Material Space Layer?
In other words, the speed becomes equivalent to ten thousand times the speed of light.
"But..." Wu Yuan was about to speak.
A speed of ten thousand times the speed of light sounds incredibly fast, but compared to the vast and endless spatial domains of the Immortal Isles and Immortal Nations, it's practically nothing.
In fact, traversing the entire Grand Boundary at this speed would take a whole million years.
Suddenly.
"Boom!" Around the spatial channel, the countless turbulent spatial fragments instantly twisted and turned into threads, becoming extremely calm.
Countless threads created ripples, dazzling and colorful.
Incredibly beautiful.
"This?" Wu Yuan's pupils contracted. The threads gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
It was something extremely terrifying.
"Wu Yuan, I know what you want to say." Lord Houqu smiled. "Advancing along the Space Fragment Layer is indeed slow compared to the vast spatial domains."
"So, we must enter a higher-dimensional space, the 'Space Turbulence Layer' where we are now."
"Advancing along the Space Turbulence Layer, once reflected in the lower-dimensional 'Material Space Layer,' is equivalent to magnifying it by billions of times." Lord Houqu smiled.
Billions of times?
That is equivalent to traveling at a speed of billions of times the speed of light!
"Ordinary Star Lords traveling and adventuring generally move along the Space Turbulence Layer." Lord Houqu smiled. "However, it's still considered slow."
"For example, between the Cangfeng Witch Realm and the Red Moon Immortal Isle, there are tens of billions of light-years."
"Ordinary Star Lords, relying on themselves, would take decades to cross it." Lord Houqu smiled. "So, the Witch Lord sent me."
Just as Wu Yuan was contemplating.
"Hum!" Silently, the countless threads of ripples that were visible to the naked eye in the spatial channel where Wu Yuan and Lord Houqu were located completely disappeared.
The surrounding void became silent, empty!
Silent to the extreme!
As if arriving at some unknown place.
"This?" Wu Yuan was stunned.
"We are now in the 'Space Void Layer,' which is a higher dimension than the Space Turbulence Layer." Lord Houqu smiled.
"Here, it is three dimensions higher than the 'Material Space Layer.' Once reflected in the lowest dimension, the 'Material Space Layer,' it will be magnified by trillions of times!"
"Meaning, traveling at the speed of light in the Space Void Layer, the forward speed is equivalent to reaching trillions of times the speed of light in the Material Space Layer."
"To cross the entire Qingling Grand Boundary, it only takes a few days."
"Many forces in the Grand Boundary have established starry teleportation arrays in various Immortal Isles and Immortal Nations. Essentially, these arrays use the space runes engraved on them to allow the traveler to advance in the 'Space Void Layer,' with rapid speed. If the intervals are close, it's as if they arrive in an instant." Lord Houqu said.
Wu Yuan was shocked.
Three dimensions higher and a forward speed of 'trillions of times'?
This! This is beyond his cognitive range.
Wu Yuan understood that to enter the so-called 'Space Void Layer,' one probably needed either terrifying personal strength or a very high understanding of space laws.
"However, teleportation arrays have many flaws."
Lord Houqu said, "To truly explore the endless river of time and space, one must rely on oneself to enter the 'Space Void Layer.'"
"Otherwise."
"Just traveling in the endless river of time and space will be a terrifying period." Lord Houqu smiled slightly. "Relying on oneself to enter the Space Void Layer, besides the Witch Lord, the Immortal Lord, and the Demon Lord, only a very small number of Star Lords can do it."
"And I happen to be one of them."
Wu Yuan understood.
No wonder the Witch Lord chose Lord Houqu to come and pick him up.
In terms of traveling speed in the vast space, the current Lord Houqu is probably not inferior to many Witch Lords and Immortal Lords.
Suddenly.
Wu Yuan thought of another thing and couldn't help but ask, "Lord Star, above the Space Void Layer, are there even higher-dimensional spaces?"
"Of course."
"And you have experienced it."
Lord Houqu smiled, "The Blood Refining Temporal Space you entered is a special and mysterious area in the Grand Boundary. It utilizes a 'higher-dimensional temporal space' to massively transport countless cultivators from myriad worlds."
Wu Yuan was astonished.
So that's how it is.
The method used by the Blood Refining Temporal Space is to transport countless cultivators in a higher-dimensional space than the Space Void Layer? No wonder, despite countless worlds being separated by billions or tens of billions of light-years, they can simultaneously arrive in the Blood Refining Temporal Space.
Truly an incredible divine skill.
"The seven top forces in the Grand Boundary have established numerous starry teleportation arrays in their vast domains." Lord Houqu said, "However, there are no direct arrivals between different major forces through these teleportation arrays."
"And the higher-dimensional space levels of starry teleportation arrays are comparable to mine." Lord Houqu proudly declared.
Wu Yuan nodded involuntarily.
Although he still didn't understand the significance of entering higher-dimensional space, he could see clearly that solely based on this speed, Lord Houqu is probably an extremely special existence among the countless Star Lords in the Qingling Grand Boundary.
At least.
Once he slips into the 'Space Void Layer,' ordinary Star Lords won't be able to enter, let alone find him.
Not to mention engaging in battle.
"As you gradually break through to higher-dimensional space, the space will continuously converge." Lord Houqu looked at Wu Yuan, "However, any higher-dimensional space, even in the 'Space Fragment Layer,' will not give birth to any matter."
"Matter only originates in the most basic 'Material Space Layer.'"
"So, whether it's breeding living beings, refining treasures, adventuring, or battling, it all takes place in the Material Space Layer." Lord Houqu said.
Wu Yuan listened quietly.
He understood.
Higher-dimensional space sounds incredibly magical, and the higher the dimension, the more it converges. But the foundation of all life and matter is in the Material Space Layer.
That one dimension is the basis of everything, the origin.
"Haha, Wu Yuan, telling you all this is just to broaden your horizons." Lord Houqu laughed, "When you comprehend the laws of space in the future, naturally, you will understand."
"In the future, you may also be able to enter the 'Space Void Layer' on your own." Lord Houqu smiled.
Wu Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Things that ordinary Star Lords can't do are too distant for him.
"You meditate for now."
"The two places are separated by tens of billions of light-years, and it will take more than a day to arrive." Lord Houqu said, "When it's almost time, I'll call you."
"Understood." Wu Yuan nodded.
He directly sat down cross-legged.
The surroundings were a void, complete darkness, silent to the extreme. But Wu Yuan understood that Lord Houqu was swiftly advancing with him in a higher-dimensional space.
Crossing tens of billions of light-years in a day or two?
Just thinking about it.
It's inconceivable.
"Higher-dimensional space? Does it mean the continuous convergence of space?" Wu Yuan thought to himself, "But the Divine Void Realm, the mental connection, is also incredibly mystical."
Like the Blood Refining Immortal Realm easily covering the territory of the Blood Refining Demon Palace spanning tens of billions of light-years.
Millions of branches, countless beings communicating with each other without any delay, how miraculous.
Similarly.
"My two main incarnations, the distance between them is constantly increasing, but connecting them still faces no obstacles." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.
He couldn't figure it out!
The more Wu Yuan understands, the more he feels that in this vast world, there are too many unimaginable things, and the operation of material rules is difficult to fathom.
Just like before today, Wu Yuan had never come into contact with the mysteries of higher-dimensional space!
"Cultivate."
"In this 'Space Void Layer,' it doesn't affect my enlightenment of the Stellar Law Origin at all." Wu Yuan sensed the source of the stellar law.
The sensing remained clear.
He quietly began to cultivate.
...
Crimson Moon Immortal Island, Dragon Star Immortal Sect, on Dragon Star.
In the mansion of Supreme Immortal Nan Yin.
"What?"
Supreme Immortal Nan Yin looked bewildered, "You're saying that your body-refining incarnation was taken away by a Star Lord from the Soaring Peak Witch Realm?"
"And it informed you that it was a transaction between the Soaring Peak Witch Realm and the Blood Refining Demon Palace? Sending you into the Soaring Peak Witch Realm?"
"And there will be a Witch Sovereign accepting disciples?" Supreme Immortal Nan Yin threw out a series of questions.
"Yes, that's right." Wu Yuan's body-refining incarnation nodded.
Just now.
After the body-refining incarnation followed Lord Houqu and left, Wu Yuan decided to tell his Master the truth after a little contemplation.
He hurriedly came to see Supreme Immortal Nan Yin.
"Can you tell me which Witch Sovereign it is?" Supreme Immortal Nan Yin continued to ask.
Wu Yuan shook his head.
A thought flashed through his mind involuntarily.
Could it be that there are several Witch Sovereigns in the Soaring Peak Witch Realm?
"Master, what should I do?" Wu Yuan asked.
"Let me think, let me think." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin said continuously. He was such a prominent figure that he was somewhat absent-minded at the moment.
The shock this matter brought him was truly too great.
Wu Yuan's body-refining incarnation seized the Golden Dan Blood Refining Sovereign in the Blood Refining Battle, demonstrating outstanding performance, spreading throughout the upper echelons of the White Cang Immortal Country. Supreme Immortal Nan Yin naturally knew about it.
He had some speculations.
For example, a Star Lord coming to accept Wu Yuan's body-refining incarnation as a disciple, or Wu Yuan's body-refining incarnation going to the headquarters of the Demon Palace for cultivation.
But Supreme Immortal Nan Yin never expected that it would directly attract the 'Witch Sovereign' from the Soaring Peak Witch Realm.
That's a Witch Sovereign.
Comparable to the leader of the entire Hengyang Immortal Realm, ruling over hundreds of millions of miles of spatial territories, a great existence.
"Disciple."
"Wait for a moment." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin suddenly closed his eyes.
Wu Yuan waited quietly on the side, pondering the matter at the same time.
Becoming a disciple of a Witch Sovereign is an unparalleled great opportunity. So, Wu Yuan agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Once missed! It might lead to endless regret over the years.
But for Supreme Immortal Nan Yin?
Over the past few decades, Supreme Immortal Nan Yin has been extremely attentive to him, providing guidance with all his might, and the relationship between them is extremely deep.
So, Wu Yuan didn't want to make Supreme Immortal Nan Yin sad.
Time passed.
A full quarter of an hour later.
"Disciple." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin opened his eyes, and there was a hint of shock and surprise deep in his eyes as he looked at Wu Yuan.
"Master."
"I just consulted with a powerful senior I know..." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin looked solemn.
"Senior?" Wu Yuan nodded gently.
A senior that Supreme Immortal Nan Yin calls 'powerful' is at least a celestial being, possibly even a level above a Star Lord.
"This senior is a Star Lord." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin said.
Wu Yuan was astonished.
A Star Lord?
Master actually knows a superbeing at the level of a Star Lord, and he can meet them directly in such a short time?
"What? Is it not allowed for a Star Lord to come and pick you up? Master, can't I even know a Star Lord?" Supreme Immortal Nan Yin scolded, narrowing his eyes.
Wu Yuan smiled bitterly, "Master, that's not what I mean."
"Let's get to the point." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin's expression became serious again. "This senior is trustworthy, and has connections with a superbeing in the Blood Refining Demon Palace. I told him about the situation."
"Based on what he said, I'll give you three pieces of advice."
Wu Yuan listened attentively.
"First, your Qi Refining incarnation should not participate in the Blood Refining Battle in the future." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin shook his head. "This time, the Blood Refining Demon Palace sent you away not only because of the reason related to the Soaring Peak Witch Realm but also due to your performance in the Blood Refining Demon Palace."
"If you participate in the Blood Refining Battle again, it could be dangerous."
"Not participate in the Blood Refining Battle?" Wu Yuan was puzzled.
He didn't understand.
In Wu Yuan's plan, after the Qi Refining incarnation cultivates for another hundred years, it should be able to reach the seventh level of the Purple Mansion. It could fully participate in the next Purple Mansion Blood Refining Battle.
According to Master's words, this path seems to be blocked.
"Second, do not reveal the connection between your two incarnations unless absolutely necessary." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin said solemnly. "Preserving your life is the top priority."
"Unless you are directly seen through by that Witch Sovereign, do not disclose it."
Wu Yuan listened quietly.
This was also something he had considered. If he could avoid exposure, then he would.
"Third, from now on, you can collect various types of information according to your needs." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin stared at Wu Yuan and said seriously. "However, do not ask me for any information about your body-refining incarnation."
"From now on, I will only address you as 'Li Xia' and will not inquire about any information regarding your body-refining incarnation."
"Better."
"Regarding your two incarnations, apart from your own awareness, you need to make a comprehensive distinction in all aspects." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin spoke with great seriousness.
Wu Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.
What Master said seemed too serious.
It seemed like he sensed Wu Yuan's lack of seriousness.
"Silly kid."
Supreme Immortal Nan Yin shook his head and sighed, "The Soaring Peak Witch Realm you are about to reach is different from our current Eternal Sun Immortal Realm."
Wu Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.
"Do you know which top forces exist in the Green Spirit?" Supreme Immortal Nan Yin asked.
"Green Spirit Immortal Realm, Eternal Sun Immortal Realm, Blood Refining Demon Palace, Soaring Peak Witch Realm, Thunder Feather Divine Temple, Destruction Divine Court, Eight Mountain Alliance," Wu Yuan said in one breath.
This information was obtained from the intelligence provided by Lord Hou Qu just now.
"Correct," Supreme Immortal Nan Yin nodded. "Do you know the differences among these seven forces?"
Wu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head.
"Among the seven forces, except for the Green Spirit Immortal Realm, which is a local force, it is also the leader of the seven forces."
"The other six forces, behind them, all originated from the top forces in the endless river of time and space." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin said, "Like my Eternal Sun Immortal Realm and the Blood Refining Demon Palace, both originated from the Taiyuan Divine Court."
Wu Yuan nodded.
He knew all of this.
"The Soaring Peak Witch Realm, ruling over 800 witch-god territories, originated from the Witch Court; the Thunder Feather Divine Temple, ruling over 1,000 fairy territories, originated from the Immortal Court." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin said solemnly, "These two forces are not much different from my Eternal Sun Immortal Realm and are second only to the Green Spirit Immortal Realm."
Wu Yuan listened.
Among the seven major forces in the Great Realm.
The Green Spirit Immortal Realm is the most powerful, occupying nearly forty percent of the territory and time and space of the Great Realm.
Eternal Sun Immortal Realm, Soaring Peak Witch Realm, and Thunder Feather Divine Temple are relatively close in strength, each occupying more than ten percent of the territory.
As for the Blood Refining Demon Palace, Destruction Divine Court, and Eight Mountain Alliance, their overall strength is weaker, only occupying one or two hundred fairy territories.
"The other five forces, although they also compete, are relatively peaceful." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin shook his head and sighed, "Only the Soaring Peak Witch Realm and the Thunder Feather Divine Temple are different."
"They engage in crazy battles behind them, causing shockwaves throughout the river of time and space for tens of thousands of years, wars that have shaken the entire space-time."
"The Soaring Peak Witch Realm and the Thunder Feather Divine Temple also fight in the Great Realm."
"Ten thousand years ago, the war swept through thousands of fairy territories, and the two forces killed madly, with large numbers of immortals and witches falling." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin sighed, "Even Star Lords fell."
Wu Yuan's heart trembled as he listened.
Even Star Lords fell? That's truly insane.
"Short term, tens of millions, long term, over a hundred million years, the two forces will erupt in a bloody and extremely fierce battle." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin said, "Occasionally, powerful individuals from other realms may also come."
"War flames often burn half of the Great Realm."
"Each fairy territory is in turmoil, and each major continent is on the verge of collapse." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin sighed.
Wu Yuan listened with bated breath.
Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he felt that kind of madness.
"So."
"In my Eternal Sun Immortal Realm, even if you shine brightly, at most, you'll face some opposing forces from sects." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin solemnly said, "But from the first day you enter the Soaring Peak Witch Realm."
"As long as you reveal your talent."
"Your name will be added to the assassination list of the 'Thunder Feather Divine Temple'."
"The more dazzling you are, the more terrifying and crazy methods the Thunder Feather Divine Temple will use."
"In history, more than once, superbeings from the Thunder Feather Divine Temple have directly entered the 'genius cultivation ground' in the Soaring Peak plane, and slaughtered madly." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin emphasized, "Of course."
"The Soaring Peak Witch Realm will also crazily assassinate the top geniuses born in the Thunder Feather Divine Temple."
Wu Yuan listened with shock.
He understood the meaning of his master.
Once his identity as a disciple of the Witch Monarch is exposed, given his weak strength, he would likely become the Thunder Feather Divine Temple's prime target for assassination.
If the Body Refining True Self dies but the Qi Refining True Self survives and is exposed simultaneously, it might attract superbeings from the Thunder Feather Divine Temple to directly annihilate him through cause and effect.
"There is nothing that is absolutely confidential; as long as you speak it out, it may be leaked," Supreme Immortal Nan Yin said, "Your Body Refining True Self is originally a witch cultivator."
"To be accepted as a disciple of the Witch Monarch is a great opportunity. I understand your thoughts; no one can resist such temptation."
"So, I only ask one thing of you."
"Do not disclose it."
"From now on, you are just Li Xia, and you have never had a Body Refining True Self, understand?" Supreme Immortal Nan Yin solemnly said.
"Yes, disciple is just Li Xia," Wu Yuan nodded.
Be careful for a thousand years to sail a boat safely.
The more careful, the longer one can live.
"Also, you don't need to participate in the Battle of Moonlight again," Supreme Immortal Nan Yin suddenly shook his head, "Let the Qi Sea gestate for a while and then break through."
"Not participate in the Battle of Moonlight?" Wu Yuan was puzzled.
"It's not meaningful. Your Body Refining True Self can seize the Blood Refining King in the Golden Core Blood Refining, and participating in the Battle of Moonlight again will not have any honing effect." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin said, "Don't waste any more time."
"Decide when to break through on your own."
"Yes," Wu Yuan nodded.
"Go down." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin gave the order to leave, "Come back to receive guidance from me in three days."
Wu Yuan respectfully saluted and slowly retreated.
"My disciple."
Supreme Immortal Nan Yin sensed Wu Yuan's departure, and there was still a trace of surprise in his eyes. "What exactly did he do in the Blood Refining space to make the master conceal it? Even the Blood Refining Demon Palace had to send him to the Soaring Peak Witch Realm at the first time?"
"And even let the Witch Monarch directly accept him as a disciple?" Supreme Immortal Nan Yin couldn't understand.
He knew how strict the conditions were for the Witch Monarch to accept disciples of that level.
Comprehension talent is just one aspect.
There are many considerations, such as temperament.
"Hoo!"
"How many years has it been? Less than twenty years." Supreme Immortal Nan Yin shook his head slightly, feeling a bit dreamlike.
A little guy back then.
Although the strength is still weak, the speed of growth and the ability to stir things up have made him somewhat amazed in the blink of an eye.
"However."
"According to what the master said, when the time is right, I will take Wu Yuan to see him?" Supreme Immortal Nan Yin pondered to himself.
When is the right time? Not specified.
"Well!"
"I don't want to think about it. With a Witch Monarch as my master, Li Xia's progress is likely to be even faster," Supreme Immortal Nan Yin smiled. "Being able to teach the same disciple as the prestigious Witch Monarch is also my honor."
Soon after, Supreme Immortal Nan Yin couldn't be bothered to think any further.
...
"Cangfeng Witch Realm and Thunder Feather Divine Temple are actually fighting so crazily?" Wu Yuan's Qi Refining True Self returned to the mansion world.
He was still pondering the words of Supreme Immortal Nan Yin.
The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.
"Strive to comprehend the Dao of Eternal Life."
"No need to participate in the Battle of Moonlight? Fine," Wu Yuan muttered to himself.
Having gone through the Blood Refining Battle, the Battle of Moonlight seemed like child's play and had little significance in Wu Yuan's eyes.
Moreover, looking at the entire White Cang Immortal Nation, once his Qi Refining True Self exerted its full power, how many people in the Golden Core Spirit Body realm could be his match?
"The vastness of the Great Realm, countless geniuses in the endless river of time and space," Wu Yuan first heard from Zhuo Haiyue.
Afterward, he read the information from Hou Qu Xing Jun.
He truly understood the vastness of the world. His perspective and goals became more lofty, no longer limited to geniuses in one fairyland or fairy nation.
If he wanted to compare, it would be with the top geniuses of the entire Great Realm and those in the endless river of time and space.
"Nurture and comprehend the Qi Sea for a while longer. When the Flying Sword completes its transformation, step into the Purple Mansion realm," Wu Yuan pondered, "When I enter the Purple Mansion realm, I can leave the sect and venture into life and death."
"At that time, find a way."
"Make the Black Tower release blood mist to the limit, and perhaps, it can open the Black Tower once more," Wu Yuan contemplated.
Wu Yuan was not too anxious to enter the Purple Mansion realm.
Many peerless geniuses chose to break through from the Golden Core realm to the Purple Mansion realm as early as possible to strengthen their divine souls and comprehend the Dao more quickly.
For Wu Yuan, his divine soul was too powerful.
Even if he broke through, the nurturing effect of the Purple Mansion on the divine soul was minimal.
"Cultivate and break through the seventy levels of the One-Star Tower as soon as possible," Wu Yuan was still thinking about the rewards from the 'Temple of the Dao.'
Having previously passed the sixty levels of the One-Star Tower, he had already earned one point.
By passing seventy levels, he could once again go to the Temple of the Dao.
...
In the mysterious and unpredictable 'Space of Nothingness,' Wu Yuan's Body Refining True Self was still meditating.
Suddenly.
"Wu Yuan, wake up," a deep voice rang out.
Wu Yuan opened his eyes.
Stood up.
"We're about to reach the core area of the Soaring Peak Witch Realm, the 'Cangfeng Continent,'" said Hou Qu Xing Jun.
"Hum~"
Silently, in the originally dark and void space, countless colorful ripples appeared soundlessly.
Wu Yuan immediately understood that they were descending from the 'Space of Nothingness' to the 'Space of Chaotic Flow.'
Soon.
"Boom~"
The originally river-like threads instantly became violent, countless spatial fragments surged and churned. This was a descent to the 'Space Fragment Layer.'
Descending from high dimensions to low-dimensional space.
Finally.
"Hum~" silently, countless spatial fragments disappeared without a trace, presenting before Wu Yuan was an endless and vast continent.
Looking down.
"So rich in spiritual energy and bustling cities." Wu Yuan stood next to Hou Qu Xing Jun.
The land was vast, extending as far as the eye could see, a bustling city beyond compare.
Comparing to the 'First-Class Cities' on the Scarlet Moon Immortal Island, this city was thousands of times more prosperous, with countless cultivators coming and going.
With just a glance, Wu Yuan saw numerous cultivators at the Immortal and Monarch levels.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was even more abundant.
"The Cangfeng Continent is the core of the Cangfeng Witch Realm, surpassing ordinary fairylands by a hundredfold. The stability of the continent is even more solid, hundreds or even thousands of times more so," Hou Qu Xing Jun explained. "And this Cangfeng City, covering billions of miles, is the core of the Cangfeng Continent and the sacred land of the eight hundred Witch God Nations."
"Many Star Lords, Star Masters, Immortals, and Monarchs from the eight hundred fairy nations often cultivate in Cangfeng City," said Hou Qu Xing Jun. "See those floating palaces? They are the residences of Immortals and Monarchs at the Immortal and Monarch levels, at least."
"In other words."
"Looking at the entire Qingling Realm, Cangfeng City is one of the top five cultivation sanctuaries."
Wu Yuan couldn't help but look. The floating palaces seemed endless, with no end in sight.
Estimating, there were at least millions of floating palaces.
Wu Yuan held his breath.
Millions of Immortals and Monarchs? Gathered in a city covering billions of miles? Truly, it lived up to its reputation as a renowned cultivation sanctuary in the entire Qingling Realm.
Well-deserved.
"Come, let's go meet the Witch Monarch." Hou Qu Xing Jun led Wu Yuan, and their speed soared, flying towards the void above Cangfeng City.
Clouds and mist obscured the view.
But as Hou Qu Xing Jun moved forward, the clouds and mist dissipated, revealing a continuous array of palaces before Wu Yuan.
Figures appeared from different palaces, disappearing into the mist.
They all had powerful auras, seemingly at the Immortal and Monarch levels.
Simultaneously.
In the continuous palaces, there were squads of soldiers in armor patrolling.
Among these countless palaces, four were the most magnificent, each occupying a corner.
"Remember."
"When you see the Witch Monarch, be respectful." Hou Qu Xing Jun said, "Although the Witch Monarch wants to accept you as a disciple, the decision is not final yet."
Wu Yuan nodded obediently.
Hou Qu Xing Jun led Wu Yuan forward.
"Star Lord."
"Greetings, Hou Qu Xing Jun." Along the way, powerful figures saluted, even the soldiers saluted.
Obviously, the Star Lord had a high status in Cangfeng City.
Finally.
Hou Qu Xing Jun led Wu Yuan to the leftmost magnificent palace, surrounded by purple mist.
In front of the door were two black-armored soldiers, emitting powerful auras comparable to the Star Lord Wu Yuan had seen.
Soldiers at the Star Lord level guarding the door?
Wu Yuan was secretly amazed.
But he discovered that the two soldiers guarding the door had a proud expression.
Obviously, not every Star Lord was qualified to come and guard the door for the 'Witch Monarch.'
Seeing Wu Yuan and Hou Qu Xing Jun.
"Hou Qu Xing Jun." One of the black-armored soldiers smiled, then his gaze fell on Wu Yuan. "Wu Yuan?"
Wu Yuan nodded.
"The Witch Monarch has given orders. As soon as you arrive, go directly into the palace. The Witch Monarch is waiting for you."
