Chapter 673 - 17: Mutation in the Age of Gods

After collaborating with the Taiyi Dharma Lineage, Blue Star’s understanding of the Dao Realm deepened, and Shen Fei learned about the Twelve Abysses governed by the Profound Monarch from Ji Hong’s mind.

This is not a secret to the Taiyi Dharma Lineage.

The Profound Monarch exists at the Taiyi level, and naturally, there are corresponding experts to handle it. The lineages they deal with are the Twelve Abysses.

The data on the Twelve Abysses in South Pole Heaven is quite comprehensive.

Shen Fei is reading about Ba Yuan, and since Ba Yuan is among the Twelve Abysses governed by the Profound Monarch, its essence is well above the Grotto Heaven level.

Thus, it spontaneously spawns Abyssal Creatures.

There won’t be situations like on Blue Star where the Abyss is entirely slain; it only slows down the spawning speed. As for the Abysses on Blue Star, they are more like vanguard forces.

They are for consumption and to explore and invade worlds in advance.

"Ba Yuan is also an Abyss where each side fights its own battle. The Abyssal Creatures’ attacks are targeted not only at the outside world but also internally..."

Shen Fei frowned slightly. These Abysses, in essence, don’t seem much different from worlds, yet they seem to exist to invade worlds.

Even now, the Dao Realm has little understanding of the origins and essence of the Abyss and the Void, and the Abyss and the Void are not aligned.

They also attack each other, somewhat like a chaotic battle of three kingdoms, but the battles between Void and Abyss are less documented in Dao Realm.

"Interesting..."

After reading this information, Shen Fei strokes his chin, wondering if the Abyss was once a world not inferior to the Ancestral Court Period. Could the disappearance of The Three Pristine Ones relate to the Abyss and Void?

Now that his master has already broken through to become a True Immortal, he can safely handle matters on Blue Star and venture to Ba Yuan or even the Dao Realm.

Furthermore, the alliance between the Taiyi Dharma Lineage and Blue Star allows for the exchange of personnel, at least enabling people from Blue Star to enjoy similar treatment as disciples in Taiyi Dharma Lineage.

Shen Fei’s only concern is Su Muyu, but Su Muyu accompanying him to the Dao Realm is not out of the question.

Moreover, if Su Muyu wishes, Shen Fei has the capability to elevate her to Tier Nine, or even Tier Ten.

"I should discuss this with Dusk Rain and perhaps lead a group to the Dao Realm,"

thought Shen Fei, his desire to visit Ba Yuan growing stronger. The Saintess also gained some understanding of Ba Yuan’s exploration.

Mainly, they discovered several cities nearby, built by Abyssal Creatures, mostly presided over by Human Immortal-level Abyssal Creatures.

Currently, they are merely observing.

"Building cities at the entrance is best, but it’s nearly impossible for people from the Dao Realm to establish cities within the Abyss..."

Shen Fei stroked his chin, suddenly realizing that the Blue Star’s Extraordinary System has an additional advantage. In the Dao Realm, one’s Cultivation System, after using magic, requires absorbing nature’s spiritual energy to recover.

While the Abyss can also replenish power, if one continuously absorbs this breath to recover, it may lead to being tainted by Abyssal Breath.

It’s easier to go astray, or even become Abyssal Creatures.

Thus, the Dao Realm and the Abyss establish frontier cities at their borders. The Abyss and Dao Realm connection is not via space channels but directly by region.

And the Professionals from Blue Star do not need to absorb nature’s spiritual energy, having mana recovery potions and other resources.

"It seems trading potions could be extremely lucrative, too."

Shen Fei pondered, having thought long about how Blue Star can quickly establish a presence in the Dao Realm.

The Blue Star Professional System not only involves defeating monsters to level up, but the loot from such actions also surprised Jiang Xue greatly.

It’s much more convenient than the Dao Realm. In the Dao Realm, using Abyssal Creatures for artifact refining and alchemy is possible but removing the Abyssal breath is challenging.

Specific techniques and strengths are needed for support.

Shen Fei continuously wrote about how to integrate Blue Star rapidly into the Dao Realm and establish a foothold, based on his understanding of the Dao Realm.

Several days later.

When Jiang Xue visited Shen Fei, saw Shen Fei’s arrangements, nodded through the perspective of a Dao Realm person, "Your world’s system indeed has its merits. Alas, my master is so stubborn, clearly the Blue Star’s Extraordinary System surpasses our current Cultivation System."

"But he only allows disciples who have difficulty progressing to become Professionals..."

Listening to Jiang Xue’s complaints, Shen Fei just laughed, "But you must also consider, if you can’t become a Half-Mythical Profession, you’ll be stuck at Tier Nine, which is Returning to Void Realm, and can never become Human Immortal."

"How many people can actually become Human Immortals? In the Dao Realm, becoming an immortal is rare," Jiang Xue lamented, letting Shen Fei nod secretly. It seems the Blue Star system has promotional potential.

At least immortality isn’t easily attainable in the Dao Realm.

This is somewhat akin to Blue Star, and with Luo Ran and methods to slay Abyss True Gods, there are quite a few possibilities.

"I’m planning to go to Ba Yuan soon."

"You’re going to Ba Yuan?"

Jiang Xue looked surprised upon hearing this but soon nodded as it was reasonable, now that Teacher Luo Ran has become a True Immortal, with a True Immortal holding the fort, Shen Fei can naturally go.

"Yes, I plan to visit the Dao Realm, see the talent of the Dao Realm," Shen Fei said with a smile, curious about the Dao Realm.

"Talent of the Dao Realm?"

Jiang Xue looked at him quizzically, pointing to herself, "Did you know I’m considered a talent in the Dao Realm?"

"You’re a talent? Surely there are those who achieved Divinity Transformation and then Returning to Void at a young age, and those who became immortal in their early twenties," Shen Fei raised an eyebrow, considering the Dao Realm as one of the five Divine Dynasty’s core.

"Haha, you might be overthinking it."

Now friends with Shen Fei, Jiang Xue speaks more freely, even cracking some jokes.

"The individuals you speak of are truly rare geniuses, but compared to you..." This was part of why Jiang Xue’s Dao Heart nearly shattered when she first saw Shen Fei.

"Your visit to the Dao Realm will open the eyes of the Dao Realm’s talents."

This was also why, after meeting her master, Jiang Xue insisted on building a good relationship with Blue Star, partly due to Shen Fei.

After gaining understanding, she realized Shen Fei was unique in Blue Star as well.

Those of his age at most cultivate faster than those in the Dao Realm, with risks involved, not all slaughter Abyssal Creatures of the same tier as if they were chickens, like Shen Fei does.

"That is good."

Shen Fei nodded just as Gao Ya hurriedly arrived, speaking urgently, "Commander, the entrance to the Age of Gods has changed."

"The door at the Secret Realm entrance has started swirling into a vortex."
