Chapter 335 - 334: [Snow], Massage Properly, Don’t Pinch

Upon arriving in the Capital City, he connected to its Yin Net. The level of information here was completely different from the remote Sunset City. After all, Sunset City only had a handful of Fusion Realm experts holding the fort, and people of that caliber rarely went online just to chat.

Only those in the Fusion Realm could traverse between Great Worlds on their own. Otherwise, most people could never leave their home worlds unless they were born into a power with an immense foundation, like the Royal Court of the Netherworld Dynasty.

Since leaving one’s own Great World wasn’t important to most people, no one discussed it. Consequently, the information Jiang Qiu could obtain at the Hundred Ghosts Sect had been extremely limited.

It was just like back on Blue Star, where students in Gao Yuan City didn’t discuss going abroad. They only wanted to practice martial arts, ace their college entrance exams, and get into a Martial Arts University. Likewise, the people here only wanted to make it onto the Yin Yang Celestial Pride List.

But now in the Capital City, things were different. While experts from the Outer Realm were still few and far between, they did exist, and with them came a wealth of information from beyond.

Even though the Yin Yang Great Realm’s information channels were unique—outsiders who hadn’t integrated with the local cultivation system couldn’t access the Yin Net—word-of-mouth information still circulated and was eventually posted to the Yin Net by the locals.

Right now, in the Capital City’s public chat lobby, countless people were spamming the feed.

"I can’t believe I’m getting to witness the opening of the Capital City’s Great Secret Realm in my lifetime! They say it’s related to a True Dragon, and there are even Dragon Spirit Fish inside!"

"You sound like you’ve never seen the world."

"What’s that supposed to mean? Like you’ve seen one?!"

"Heh, I haven’t. But it’s not like I haven’t seen things of a similar caliber."

Since users could hide their information, many people had no idea who—or what—they were talking to. Arguments would break out over a couple of messages. After all, there were simply too many people here; it was a motley crew.

Leaving the massive channel with its several million users, Jiang Qiu joined a relatively small group chat called "Netherworld Lands Registrants." Entry required an access permit from the Netherworld Dynasty.

In other words, everyone in this group was a native of the Netherworld Dynasty and was qualified to enter the Capital City’s soon-to-be-opened Great Secret Realm.

There was still plenty of arguing, but it was much quieter than the public channel. After all, one’s Realm couldn’t be hidden here; everyone’s cultivation level was on full display on the Yin Net, like using your real name online. Many people knew their place and didn’t dare get too rowdy.

After lurking in the chat for a while, Jiang Qiu hadn’t gathered much useful information. Most of it was just people marveling at the audacity of the Netherworld Dynasty’s Monarch. To discover such an incredible Great Secret Realm and not keep it for himself, but instead announce it to the world—even telling people from other Great Worlds.

"Seniors, I just saw someone mention that people from the Nine Venerable Great Realm are coming. They sound really powerful. What kind of place is the Nine Venerable Great Realm?"

Jiang Qiu posted his first message on the Yin Net since arriving in the Capital City. With his IP address tracing back to Sunset City and his displayed Realm of Initial Tier of Peeping Dao, he looked like a total country bumpkin.

For some reason, the Yin Net here also couldn’t discern his true Realm. [Snow] was also displayed as being at the Initial Tier of Peeping Dao Realm, which saved a lot of trouble. The weak are beneath the notice of the strong.

The Peeping Dao Realm was powerful, of course, but compared to the people in this chat, it was a drop in the ocean. At that level, he was only slightly stronger than a genius from some backwater region.

No fewer than ten Fusion Realm experts had already spoken up in the group!

Besides, none of them could be young; they were at least several decades old. It was only natural for the thirteen-year-old Jiang Qiu to call them ’senior’.

"The Nine Venerable Great Realm? In our Great World Community, it’s considered upper-mid tier. They’re a Great Realm that loves to stick its nose into everyone else’s business. It’s normal for someone from a small place like you not to know about it. After all, our Yin Yang Great Realm doesn’t have deep ties with the Outer Realm. We only occasionally exchange resources with a few places, and the Nine Venerable Great Realm doesn’t have many of its powers stationed here, so information is scarce."

A Half-Step Fusion Realm expert by the name of [Elder] had answered his question enthusiastically. The moment he posted his reply, countless juniors immediately swarmed in to praise the senior for his vast knowledge.

Luckily, searching for messages was easy. With a single thought, Jiang Qiu locked onto the reply. Otherwise, he would have asked in vain; the message would have been buried in an instant.

"Since we’re on the topic of the Nine Venerable Great Realm, let me give you all a primer. It might prevent the native Yin Yang Celestial Prides from our Netherworld Dynasty from being outmaneuvered after entering the Great Secret Realm.

The Nine Venerable Great Realm is ruled by three great races. Beneath each great race are countless vassal races, all of whom are oppressed by the three Venerables who serve as the pillars of the great races. They don’t dare to resist, and the resources they’re allotted are extremely scarce.

As for the three great races, each has its own specialty. The ones coming to our Netherworld Dynasty this time are the Hollow Demon Race. Their mastery over the soul is profound, giving them formidable combat strength even in our native world. If you run into them, do not engage them recklessly.

In some respects, they are one of the most formidable groups of rivals when it comes to vying for Dragon Spirit Fish in the Great Secret Realm. Even some of the geniuses from the three Ancient Great Worlds might not possess methods as well-suited to our world as they do..."

After that speech, Jiang Qiu had absorbed a massive amount of information—many times more than what he had managed to squeeze out, drop by drop, over the past thirteen years. He had also heard mention of the "three Ancient Great Worlds."

According to [Elder], the Yin Yang Great Realm didn’t have much of a profile in the wider Great World Community. However, its native power was immense and its properties were astonishing. Basically, no other Great World dared to invade it, nor could they.

Therefore, the Yin Yang Great Realm could be considered an upper-mid tier Great World. It was just that everyone was too busy chasing a spot on the Yin Yang Celestial Pride List to have time to invade anyone else.

Otherwise, they’d be far more vicious than those bastards from the Nine Venerable Great Realm, snatching vast resources with a single look—his exact words.

There were only a few dozen Great Worlds that could be considered upper-mid tier in the entire [Primordial] Great World Community, a community that contained tens of thousands of Great Worlds.

The only powers capable of suppressing these upper-mid tier Great Worlds were the three Ancient Great Worlds. They were the eternal pillars of the community and almost never allowed people from other Great Worlds to teleport in.

[Elder] said very little about these three Ancient Great Worlds, only emphasizing that they were "taboo" and "best not discussed." Most of his talk was simply to broaden everyone’s horizons.

’So, as long as I can top the Yin Yang Celestial Pride List here in the Yin Yang Great Realm and enter the Yang Realm, I’ll be strong enough to make my way in the Nine Venerable Great Realm,’ Jiang Qiu muttered to himself, his gaze growing profound. ’[Elder] also said that the Nine Venerable Great Realm is extremely far. Even warping from the Yin Yang Great Realm, you’d have to pass through a thousand other Great Worlds, a journey that could take hundreds of years.’

’In that case, the distance from Blue Star must be even greater. Zuo Xuan probably hasn’t brought Liu Zili and the others back to their home world yet... Huh?!’

PINCH!

A sudden, soft pinch from under the water made Jiang Qiu’s legs go rigid. "Snow! If you’re going to give me a massage, then do it right! Don’t pinch there!"
